RosterWatch Week 6 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.

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 .

    Cleveland D
    Saints D
    Cam Akers
    Brandon cooks
    Roschon Johnson

    Currently in 1st place

    12 team, 0.5 ppr, 3-2 record – I’m really not sure how I feel about this team. I’ve been offered Addison and Pacheco for Kelce, but I’m not sure if I should look to consolidate 2 of my WRs for a better RB instead. What do you all think?

    Mahomes
    Sanders
    Pierce
    Deebo
    Kirk
    Kelce
    Terry

    McLaughlin
    K. Hunt
    Meyers
    Doubs

    IR: Keaton Mitchell

      I might add that both Goedert and Thomas are available as possible TE replacements.

    2. ↓ Post By Trashman

      I’d be looking to consolidate if I were you. That being said, the trade wouldn’t be bad for your team, especially if Jefferson ends up missing a lot of time.

    Standard league. Would you give up Achane and waddle or swift and waddle for Tyreek? My other RBs are mostert, perine, Stevenson and WRs are Keenan Allen, Christian Watson

  4. ↓ Post By Trashman

    You’re on shaky ground rb wise. i’d rather keep swift as of now. Achane and waddle could work if you’re not a winning team right now

    Okay RW my 3 and 1 team was decimated by injuries.. I lost JJ, Conner, Herbert, A Richardson… Ouch
    Whats left of my team isn’t bad because of you guys and your draft cheat sheet but I feel i need to make some changes stat and I’m considering trading Jefferson for a QB and a solid RB or WR. What do you guys think? Here’s the rest of my team: AJ Brown, Nico, Flowers, J Taylor, Gibbs, G Davis, London, LaPorta, Najee (Total waist) Cowboys D considering streaming another D. Thoughts…. I do have the 1st waiver pick would you use it on any of the following? And what QB would you pick up. If I cant make a trade? Mayfield, Carr, Howell, Goff or Minshew.. Do you think any of the following players would help my team and are worth the #1 waiver pick Osborn, Palmer, Demarco, Jeff Wilson. Thanks RW, i know its long but Im really pulling my hair on this one.

    1. ↓ Post By Bigmanmike

      I also have Jaleel..

    2. ↓ Post By Alex Dunlap

      I’d [ick up Wilson, sorry about your bad injury luck. I wouldn’t trade away JJ unless you can get something close to fair value and that will be hard right now.

      1. ↓ Post By Bigmanmike

        Thanks and no i couldn’t get a fair asking price. Im going to hold..

    Standard League – Loaded @ RB – Bijan, Pollard, Kryen Williams, R. Stevenson, Pierce, Sanders, D. Cook, K. Herbert – Just lost Richardson and have Love on the Bye week.
    Have a shot at grabbing Hurts from a team that has him and Tua, and RB’s of only Kamara, N. Harris, S. Perine, D. Foreman, Ty Chandler and Duece Vaughn.
    He is new to Fantasy Football, I’m looking to NOT completely fleece him, and still win the trade, thoughts???

    1. ↓ Post By Alex Dunlap

      Offer him Stevenson and sell him on the idea that he’ll bounce back and Zeke sucks.

      1. ↓ Post By Cassaroll

        Thanks @Alex I’ll give it a go

  7. ↓ Post By Cassaroll

    It is a 3 WR, 2 RB and 2 flex league as well for above question. Thanks RW your insights are always awesome!

    In a PPR…My RBs have been decimated. Should I give up Puka for J Taylor? I have Kupp, DJ Moore, Ridley and Flowers.

  9. ↓ Post By brentonlundquist@yahoo.com

    Do you drop Drake London for KJ Osborn? full pt PPR

    I have Tyreek Hill, D-Hop, Zay Flowers and Michael Thomas already, just wondering if i should stay put or shoot for this?

    Thanks

    1. ↓ Post By Alex Dunlap

      would not do that just yet, London will be better once Heinecke gets put in.

    Been trying to get a deal done for JSN in dynasty for a couple weeks. 12 team SF PPR TEP

    As a contender, Would you trade Addison and a 2024 projected early-mid first for JSN? I know it’s a mad overpay, but I think most of us are still all in on JSN. Just trying to figure out how much is too much.

    QB: Herbert, Lawrence, Howell

    WR: AJB, G. Wilson, Pittman, London, Dotson, Burks, M. Wilson, Tillman

    RB: Etienne, Walker, J. Cook, Pacheco, White, Roschon, McLaughlin

    TE: Ferguson, Kincaid, Musgrave

    Still have 2 2024 1sts in my back pocket as well, a projected mid and late.

    1. ↓ Post By Alex Dunlap

      I would not do that.

  11. ↓ Post By gurpindersdeol@gmail.com

    Do we hold on to Richardson? Or is he droppable for a lower priority guy like Quentin Johnston or Josh reynolds?

    My other WRs are tyreek hill, Amari Cooper, Garret Wilson, deandre Hopkins, Michael Thomas

    1. ↓ Post By Alex Dunlap

      I’m personally holding A Rich in your spot assuming you don’t have insanely small benches.

    10 Team – 1 PPR

    Should I drop Jameson Williams to pick up Roschon Johnson?

    Current WRs – Waddle, Higgins, Lockett, G.Davis, T. Dell

    I’m pretty solid at RB (knock on wood)

  13. ↓ Post By rw-9dIeCQPTZ

    Full ppr, 2 Qb league (we can start a RB, WR or TE in the 2nd QB spot as well). 10 team starting 1 QB, 2RBs, 2WR’s, 2 flex (includes the 2nd QB option) and 1 TE. No IR spot, 6 player bench.

    Just lost De’von Achane and A. Richardson to IR. I have Josh Allen and Geno Smith.

    I can start Montgomery, Pollard, K. Williams, J. Addison or D. Pierce the rest of the way. Starting WR are AJ Brown & S. Diggs w/LaPorta at TE.

    Should I drop Richardson for Minshew to provide QB depth?

    I was offered trade Bijan for JT and Mattison? my other RB’s are james cook and Pollard. I love JT and think if he gets 75% share he’s be a beast since AR won’t be taking redzone TD’s. Running lanes did just get a bit tighter. I don’t think they paid JT to let him share back field.. I don’t like the offense in Atl, but that said I think I need to see another week of JT

    1. ↓ Post By Alex Dunlap

      Would personally do the deal for Bijan.

  15. ↓ Post By Bigmanmike

    Need a win.
    Which QB would you go with and rank them in order..
    Stroud, Purdy, Goff, Geno Dak .

    Thank you RW..

    1. ↓ Post By Bigmanmike

      10 team Full PPR 6pt TD and 1pt completions..

  16. ↓ Post By rw-9dIeCQPTZ

    1 ppr, 2 qb superflex. 1st QB is Josh Allen, 2nd QB is Geno Smith. I have Jordan Addison on the bench. My opponent this week jumped out to a great lead with H. Butker, and KC defense.

    Starting Pollard, Montgomery, K. Williams, AJ brown, s. Diggs & Sam LaPorta.

    Would you keep Geno in or go crazy and put Addison in?
