All right, let’s take a look at this week’s waiver Wire connections presented by Spectrum Dalton and I are gonna share our large medium and small priority player on the waiver wire for this week.
Dalton hit me with your small priority player to get us started.
Josh Downs has seemed target shares of 28% 32 and 27/3 games played this season and that was with him returning from a high ankle sprain.
Now I call him my small ad though because he’s downs value does hinge a bit on Anthony Richardson being available or not as he’s more productive with Joe Flacco.
The colts’ pass rate over expectations shoots up with Flacco.
Jonathan Taylor is dealing with a high ankle sprain.
So the setup is great for downs just as long as Flacco is starting and he’s available in 60% of Yahoo Leagues.
My medium pickup is Ty Chandler on the Vikings.
It’s definitely a downgrade for Aaron Jones, but he’s gonna see elite usage in Minnesota’s backfield if Jones were forced to miss time.
Minnesota does have a buy this week, but Chandler is well worth stashing to see jones’ status and he’s available in 70% of Yahoo Leagues.
And finally, my big prior at is Tank Bigsby man.
He just looks like the most improved player in the league.
Bigsby ranks first in yards per carry, first in rush yards over expectation per attempt.
He’s getting 6.5 yards per carry after contact Etienne does remain the starter in Jacksonville is healthy, but Bigsby looks too good to be on any waiver wires regardless of his current spot on the depth chart.
So he’s a must add in all Fantasy leagues.
100% agree.
He should be rostered in every single Fantasy League.
I like how you started Dalton with a small priority player who is a reception perception favorite.
I’ll throw a guy out there who I I still kind of have the candle lit for it.
It’s Rashad Bateman, 9% rostered in Yahoo Leagues.
He has touchdowns in two of the last three games and he’s a guy that look, he’s second on the team in a yards.
We know he’s not gonna be a, a target dominator or anything like that.
So if you need some help at the wide receiver position, maybe a deeper flex play.
I think Rashad Bateman can be an option.
He is currently a top 50 Fantasy receiver on the season.
My medium priority player is Jalen Tolbert, who’s actually rostered in fewer leagues, 7% of Yahoo Leagues.
He’s second on the team in routes run.
He’s second on the team in air yard chair.
I think he’s gonna continue to be involved in this offense.
Now, my large priority player Tyrone Tracy, he got added a lot before this week five game with Devin Singletary out but still only 23% roster that’s really got to kick up here and he’s actually a converter wide receive from college.
So we know that passing game work can be part of his portfolio at some point as he continues to earn trust.
If there’s any chance that single Terry is gonna miss week six a match up with the Bengals would make Tyron Tracy kind of like a high end three, maybe a running back to type in Fantasy League.
So he’s definitely somebody that should be rostered.
This has been the way of wire connections on the Yahoo Fantasy forecast presented by Spectrum.
