PRO RosterWatch Week 5 Waiver Wire Cheat Sheet 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.

PRO MEMBERS – PLEASE ACCESS The WWCS HERE as a temporary measure, we are having a technical issue uploading it to the Downloads page

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 .

    Thinking about week 7 where I lose 3 starters – Henry, Chase and Thielen. Should I pick up someone this week? Waivers are sparse. DK returns after this week so I need to find 2 WRs or 1 and 1. My potential drops are Charbonnet, Spears, Dell (also week 7 bye) and jsn. Or should I just wait and expect to lose a player to injury. Already lost Chubb and Mike W.
    I was thinking about Doubs or Jameson and dropping Dell. What do you think. Thanks !

      I’d I would lose Charbonnet and get doubs or jameson

    I just got offered Kupp for Achane and Ridley

    My RBs
    BiJon, Swift K William, Sanders, Achane
    Ridley, Metcalf, Doubs, Sutton Palmer

    I’m leaning no.

    Got offered a trade:
    Send Tyreek, Waller, and Pacheco and Waller
    Receive Kamara, Waddle, Andrews, and Thielen

    My current RBs: Kyren W, Achane, Pacheco, Javonte Williams, Najee Harris
    My current WRs: Tyreek, Garrett Wilson, Josh Reynolds
    Current TE: Waller

    Thoughts??

    I may try to flip Waddle and Andrews for Aiyuk and Swift if I do it.

    1. ↓ Post By dobryan@sandiego.edu

      Incidentally put Waller in twice in the “Send” part of the trade. Should only be there once!

    2. ↓ Post By Trashman

      It’s hard for me to lose Hill. You’re going to have to drop someone to make the trade too. It seems even enough though

      1. ↓ Post By dobryan@sandiego.edu

        Thanks! He added in Diontae Johnson (straight to IR), and had an open bench spot. I went for it. Nice to have depth this early in the season.

      I would love to get LaPorta, moving off of Javonte & a side piece.

    Guys, Standard league. I have Christian Watson but Doubs is on the wire. I want to grab him but having two Green Bay receivers isn’t optimal. Should I grab Doubs? If so, drop Watson (I could drop Joshua Palmer).

    Thanks.

    1. ↓ Post By CarpentierNFL

      I would stand still, Watson is coming, brother!

        Thanks Cody!

    How do you guys feel about the following trade offer.. 10 team full PPR my team is currently 3 and 1
    My Anthony Richardson, Flowers and Najee for Josh Allen.
    My team Goff, Gibbs, J Taylor Conner, Justin Jefferson, Nico, AJ Brown, La Porta, Cowboys, Herbert, London, Dotson, Gabe Davis..
    And if the trade is a no who would you drop to bring Taylor from the IR..
    Thanks RW

    1. ↓ Post By CarpentierNFL

      No dice from me – I love AR for you. I’d drop Dotson for Taylor to comeback. Team is SICK, man!

        Thank you RW

    Built my RB Team around Pacheco and McKinnon. Picked up Edwards-Helaire as insurance going into next week. Now wondering which one to tie with Pacheco. I’m leaning that if Pacheco misses time Helaire would be the primary back and McKinnon’s roll would stay the same. Which one do you have a better feeling about? Moving one to lock in a back up behind K. Williams before heading into the weekend.

    Thanks!!!

      I’d drop Clyde! Love your layout plan

    12 team PPR Superflex; (3-1)

    [1] QB: J. Allen (Watson)
    [2] RB: Pollard, Kamara (M. Sanders, R. Johnson, Spears, K. Miller)
    [2] WR: P. Nacua, Pittman (M. Thomas, Z. Flowers)
    [1] TE: LaPorta
    [1] W/R/T: G. Wilson
    [1] Q/W/R/T: Daniel Jones
    [1] IR: K. Murray
    Bench total: (9)

    1) What’s the best use of a free bench spot? Jamaal Williams or Jaleel McLaughlin?

    2) Still waiting for Kyler to get back but in the meantime, do I drop Daniel Jones for Josh Dobbs?

    1. ↓ Post By CarpentierNFL

      1) McLaughlin
      2) Dimes has been cheeks – I love Dobbs this week, but he has a tough stretch coming as well.

    I have the Dallas D, but Im considering streaming a Defense for this week.
    Of the following who would you go with or would you hold with the Cowboys, and Im planning to drop IJS.

  12. ↓ Post By CarpentierNFL

    I have the Lions first, than the Redskins!

  13. ↓ Post By FF_Hookem

    I was offered KWalker and Pickens for Diggs and Gainwell. Even if my RBs are weak (Dameon Pierce and Zach Moss), that’s a hell no right? Diggs my best player.

    Brothers. Dobbs or Howell this week?

  23. ↓ Post By pepster68

    Thanks for delivering such quality content and support. Been a longtime Pro member and want a little trade advise. 12 PPR, currently 3-1 in 2nd place with 3rd most pts. Standard lineup with 1 Flex…I have LaMar & Stroud for QB’s, Diggs, AJ Brown, and Hockenson; that’s my strength..my RB’s are crap, best 2 RB’s are Khalil Herbert and Pacheco. Considering a trade offer where I send LaMar Jackson to receive Kirk Cousins & Breece Hall. My other RB’s are all handcuffs to others. I also have Drake London and Zay Flowers for my flex, but having Breece would be a big boost. Thoughts?

  24. ↓ Post By Dazz

    I’m giving up Ford and Tank for Pacheco and Rice. Let me know…not final yet.
