RosterWatch Week 8 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 .

    Who is a better hold Jameson Williams or Jakobi Meyers in PPR league?

    1. ↓ Post By Trashman

      Meyers is probably the more consistent option but I personally would want Jameson

    12tm PPR (4-3)

    QB: Darnold
    RB: Hall, Henry (B. Allen, Brooks)
    WR: Waddle, JSN (Evans, Odunze, Bateman)
    TE: Kraft (Hockenson)
    W/R/T: Javonte Williams, Dowdle
    DEF: Broncos
    IR: Pacheco
    Bench: (6 spots)

    Available players:

    WR: McMillan, Pearsall, Tillman, T. Franklin
    RB: Goodson, E. Wilson, R. Davis, K. Miller, R. Johnson

    I’m considering dropping Evans (since he’s hurt) or Pacheco (in my only IR spot). Should I drop one of them and/or anyone else to make room for a waiver add? Which available players should I target?

    Also, I know Byron’s trade report is coming soon, but with Evans out, I might need to make a trade to upgrade at WR? Any advice on potential moves I should look at?

      Update: I guess Evans won’t be back til Week 12. Not sure when Pacheco is back but only 1 IR spot sucks.

    After Kamari’s large turd last week, would you bench him for James Cook or Chubb? Thanks
    Also Watson or worthy this week?
    Thanks

    1. ↓ Post By Trashman

      I wouldn’t hold it against you if you tried Chubb out but I’d give it another week. And worthy

    Hello Again Roster Watch: I am a Pro member and the guy who can start TEs as WRs but have no TE specific slots so we start 3 or 4 WRs (also TEs) The 4th is a flex so it could be a RB but that’s irrelevant here. I am dropping A richardson (have Daniels and Murray and we start 1 and here’s what available (at WR): Mark andrews, McMillan, Jennings, Persale, and Njoku. My current WRs are Deebo Bowers McBride Oduzne, Doubs, MARV HARRISON JR. Also Daniels will play on Sunday. thanks for your help rosterwatch!!

    With DHop going to KC would you drop Juju for Troy Franklin? (Highest available WR on cheat sheet after waivers)

  9. ↓ Post By Incognito

    Greetings — Hopkins is on waivers along with Keenan Allen, Keon Coleman and Jaylen McMillan – How would you rank these players and how much FAAB would you use?

    WRs: Collins, G Wilson, Rice, Coleman, Hopkins, Dotson, OBJ, M Wilson
