Here are the top options available in more than 50% of fantasy football leagues.

Waiver Wire Targets:

Darnell Mooney (WR - Atlanta Falcons)
- Clear number 2 WR for Atlanta: 24% target share for the year, Drake London is at 27%
- Finished as WR3 last week, 30% target share
- Kirk Cousins is looking better so that 24% target share can turn into solid games moving forward
- FAAB: 25%
Josh Downs (WR - Indianapolis Colts)
- 30% target share over three weeks, never under 27%
- One Top-10 finish, one Top-15 finish over last two weeks
- Anthony Richardson’s accuracy can be concern, but tough to ignore target earning ability. Usually leads to success.
- FAAB: 20%
Tank Bigsby (RB - Jacksonville Jaguars)
- Extremely efficient - overall RB1 this week
- Moving into sharing the early down workload at the very least
- If he keeps killing it, he can’t be denied
- Worth picking up, but temper expectations of his role moving forward
- The upside is there for him to carve out a bigger role
- Totally understand that Etienne’s shoulder hurts
- Totally understand that Doug Pederson said that Etienne is their guy
- 15-20% FAAB max if you need a RB because he’s still a low-end RB2 at best right now given his role
JuJu Smith Schuster (WR - Kansas City Chiefs)
- 8/7/130 - 66% route participation, 24% target share
- Bye this week, can be WR3+ after that
- FAAB: 15-20%
Ty Chandler (RB - Minnesota Vikings)
- Aaron Jones is week-to-week, so Chandler can get a workhorse role for a couple of 1-2 weeks.
- FAAB: 5-10% (would be higher if he didn’t have a bye this week)
Braelon Allen (RB - New York Jets)
Tyrone Tracy Jr. (RB - New York Giants)
- 18/129, gets Seattle next week. Is Devin Singletary good to go? I have no idea. But Tracy has a chance to eat into Singletary’s touches, and maybe more if he takes advantage.
- FAAB: 5-10%
Jalen Tolbert (WR - Dallas Cowboys)
- Brandin Cooks is on IR
- Top-12 finish in Week 5
- Has two Top-36 finishes in the four weeks before that
- Full-time role
- FAAB: 5%
Allen Lazard (WR - New York Jets)
- He sucks, the offense is a mess, but he finds a way to score fantasy points
- 19% target share, he’s the WR20 on the year, he has two Top-30 WR finishes in the last three weeks
- Fill-in WR if you need one
- FAAB: 5%
Michael Wilson (WR - Arizona Cardinals)
- His target shares have been interesting over the last three weeks:
  - 28%, 32%, 22% even with Trey McBride back - two Top-30 finishes over the last three weeks
- Solid match against Green Bay this week, solid flex play, maybe can sneak into WR3 conversation with a good performance
- FAAB: 2-3%
Tre Tucker (WR - Las Vegas Raiders)
- 23% target share in Week 3, 25% in Week 4, then a quiet game in Week 5 (against Denver)
- Another tough matchup against Pittsburgh, but they’re at home, so not an overly bad matchup
- Potentially without Davante Adams rest of the season, the Rams matchup after that looks good
- FAAB: 2-3%
Jordan Whittington (WR - Los Angeles Rams)
- Week 4: 8/6/62 (full time)
- Week 5: 10/7/89 (full time)
- FAAB: 5%
Daniel Jones (QB - New York Giants)
Quentin Johnston (WR - Los Angeles Chargers)
- Started the year with a 20% and 32% target share, then 15% and 19%
- Full-time role
- One top-10 finish and one top-36 finish under his belt
- Don’t love the matchup against Denver this week, so preferably sit him, and then play him against Arizona in Week 7 as a flex
- FAAB: 5%
Keon Coleman (WR - Buffalo Bills)
Roschon Johnson (RB - Chicago Bears)
- Getting some carries and goal-line work
- Fill-in RB
- FAAB: 2-3%
Cam Akers (RB - Houston Texans)
- 9/42/1 in Week 4
- FAAB: 1%
Justice Hill (RB - Baltimore Ravens)
Rashod Bateman (WR - Baltimore Ravens)
- WR15
- Target share is all over the place - love the talent but not sure I can trust him and the game scripts of Baltimore
- FAAB: 0%
Alec Pierce (WR - Indianapolis Colts)
Christian Watson (WR - Green Bay Packers)
Tyler Allgeier (RB - Atlanta Falcons)
Zach Ertz (TE - Washington Commanders)
Blake Corum (RB - Los Angeles Rams)
Cade Otton (TE - Tampa Bay Buccaneers)
