RosterWatch Week 7 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 .

    Would you drop D’Onte Foreman for Zack Evans. I also have R Johnson. My waivers run tonight so a quickly reply would appreciated. My guess is R. Johnson takes over.

      Apologies Dan, I wouldn’t have advised it though, especially with Gaskin joining the ranks in LA

    Start/Sit Q. – Tua or Lamar? And would you start JSN over Dionte Johnson. Thanks

    Would you drop Dotson for JSN? Dotson has turned into a pumpkin this year.

    1. ↓ Post By Trashman

      I think they’ll probably end up around the same place, but JSN is a hot pickup right now. Don’t think anyone will run out to get Dotson of waivers right now

    Does the waiver wire sheet factor in Gaskin going to LA and being promoted directly to the active roster? Just wondering if that shifts Evans at all

      NM I missed him on the sheet my bad

    Please help! Thanks!

      Howell, get ford if he’s there, get lockett, you can drop richardson if it’s not a dynasty or keeper league, and no I would keep Kmet

      Update (assuming this gets answered soon?):

      The following players got picked up already: Toney, Z. Evans and Fournette but everyone else is available…

    2. ↓ Post By Trashman

      I’d drop Ingram for Williams , Kelley or Robinson. Might try to move Sanders before Hubbard takes over. Maybe pair him with Thomas and see what you can get

      1. ↓ Post By renourka

        Thanks sir!

    A 12 team .5 ppt dynasty league i was offers bijan and Higgins for jj, jsn, and Mayer? I declined the trade but not sure if I made the correct decision. I still have aj, waddle, scary Terry, and few other wr after the trade.

    1. ↓ Post By Trashman

      I would have done it. May come out in the wash though

  8. ↓ Post By checkdark35

    Trade talk. 10-team, .5 ppr. 1qb, 2wr, 2 rb, 1te, 1w/r/t.

    I’m probably never playing Josh Downs (I’ve got Waddle, Olave, Lamb), but he’s also my only other WR rostered.

    Send my Hubbard and Downs
    Get their Henry

    Their other RBs: Ekeler, Cook, Kelley, Harris, Hunt
    Their WRs: Brown, Pittman, Aiyuk, Sutton

    Kind of a sneaky low-ball since both Henry and Hubbard are on bye. I’ll never play Hubbard, most likely (Jacobs, Walker, Saquon, Gibbs).

    Thoughts?

    1. ↓ Post By Trashman

      I like it. It’s time to consolidate

  9. ↓ Post By Cassaroll

    Do you guys think it’s time to try and trade Pierce for K. Miller? Yikes what a thought
    Or is this a hold and see what happens after the Texans bye to see if they can figure out the run game with Pierce? He keep losing out to Singletary.

  10. ↓ Post By Trashman

    No don’t do it yet. Jamaal Williams will be back soon enough to complicate things in NO

    1. ↓ Post By Cassaroll

      Will keep watching this scenario unfold, thanks for your insight, trashman. Appreciate you brother.

    PPR
    I can bid for Zach Evan’s and would need to drop Dotson. I have K Williams as my flex normally but have Roschon, Hubbard and Jeff Wilson on my bench to deploy. Should I make an aggressive run at Evan’s with the lengthy absence it sound like K Williams will have or roll with my bench ? He will probably cost 25% of my FAB or more

  12. ↓ Post By ted.emerson

    A. Gibson, Gainwell, and D. Singletary all got dropped. Pick any of them up? I could drop Josh Palmer or Tank Dell. My other RBs are J. Taylor, J. McLaughlin, C. Reynolds, Achane, J. Wilson. I’m hurting at RB.

    So how do i see a rank of players like the original draft sheet?
    I only see the Waiver Wire Cheat Sheet.
    Does RW not rank all of the players after the draft sheet / season starts?
