RosterWatch Week 5 Waiver Wire Cheat Sheet and Podcast Now Available

Building a championship-caliber fantasy roster requires basic weekly waiver-wire management. We’ve created the Waiver Wire Cheat Sheet so that in a just a few minutes a week, our users can make the same expert waiver maneuvers we personally make in our own leagues, throughout the season.

Whether you play in a standard waiver-claim format, or in a free-agent bidding system – we’ve got you covered. Read the chart top to bottom, and use it like the Draft Cheat Sheet. It’s not mandatory to go after the very top pick up every single week – use some basic discretion. Insane value can be cultivated through the bottom of the Waiver Wire Cheat Sheet over the course of the season.

All players listed on the WWCS are currently on the waiver wire in at least 50% of fantasy leagues across all major formats.

*Our advice is to recycle an average of 1-2 players per week from the bottom of your roster into hot waiver-wire pickups for the current week. This can be accomplished via waivers, or on the cheap as free-agent pickups post-waiver period .

    Running backs are Cook, Brown, Corum, Price, Coleman (IR), Ray Davis, and Kendre Miller. Need to cut 1 for a bye week QB. Does Price still have enough ROS upside to hold over Miller?

    Thanks

    Questions:
    1. Is Bryce Young worth holding through his BYE and if so which QB am I dropping him for? If holding him, who else is the drop?
    2. What other add/drops would you make?
    3. Trade ideas?

    Would you drop any of these RBs for Shipley (already have a bid in at $18 for a remaining $89 seasonal budget or Ekeler?

    Brooks GB
    Rodriguez Jr JAX
    Singleton TEN

    On the WR side…

    In order to pick up Meyers (Cin) or Coleman (Buf)… would you drop:

    Bell – Miami
    Allen – KC
    Pittman Jr. PIT?

    How we feeling about Zay Flowers w/ Lamar Jackon’s injury moving forward?

    Worth seeking out an upgrade to get Drake London? Maybe Flowers and Emanuel Wilson (or Braelon Allen) for London?
