pickups start with Damien Williams, Darnell Mooney and more – The Athletic

Two new additions to the fantasy football waivers piece! First, I’m going to include the leaders in Unrealized Air Yards (Air Yards minus Receiving Yards). This is a great way to target buy lows and start boom/bust WR3/4s who have a breakout in waiting. For example, DeVonta Smith was in the Top 5 before his big Week 4 (and is still in the Top 5 even after it!). Second, I’m including streaming DST options for a week in advance. This way, you can plan further ahead.

🚨 HEADS UP 🚨

Players must be under 60% rostered on Yahoo.

Listed in order of preference

Yes, I purposefully don’t include FAB amounts or percentages… WHY?

It’s always relative, as if you lost your RB1 to injury and there is a clear backup, you’re going to be more aggressive

Aggressiveness also varies by league, and additionally, if I said 60% or $40, that’s relative too because the percent might be way off depending on how much FAB budget you have left, and the dollars might be too much of your budget to leave enough wiggle room the rest of the way.

Streaming QB and TE are grouped together— their ranking might change slightly once projections/ranks run.

“I Tried to Tell Ya” are players mentioned several times, with not much more to add, and ranked ahead of everyone else, unless specified (injury-related, etc)

WORRY REPORTMore DUCKS (1-5) = More Concern (woo-hoo!)

QUARTERBACK

Lamar Jackson, BAL 🦆🥚 — Without looking, take a guess how many games Jackson had with 2+ passing touchdowns last year. It was nine.
