Even if your draft went perfectly, staying diligent with adds and drops every single week can make the difference between a middle-of-the-pack finish and a championship run.
The waiver wire is a place where you can find breakout stars, injury replacements, and depth that gets you through bye weeks.
But here’s the key: don’t let Week 1 hype trick you into blowing your top claim.

1. Ollie Gordon II (RB – Miami Dolphins)

With injuries in Miami’s backfield, Gordon has climbed the depth chart and is positioned as the primary backup to De’Von Achane.
He could see significant short-yardage and goal-line work, making him a valuable handcuff and potential early-season starter.
2. Bryce Young (QB – Carolina Panthers)

Young ended last season strong, showcasing his dual-threat ability.
With a favorable Week 1 matchup against Jacksonville’s defense, he could deliver solid fantasy numbers, especially in leagues that reward rushing stats.
3. Jaydon Blue (RB – Dallas Cowboys)

Blue’s explosiveness and receiving ability make him a high-upside option in Dallas’ backfield.
While he may not dominate touches, his big-play potential is worth a roster spot, particularly in PPR leagues
4. Cedric Tillman (WR – Cleveland Browns)

Tillman enters the season as Cleveland’s WR2 and has shown the ability to produce when given opportunities.
With a favorable early schedule, he’s a solid pickup for WR depth and may find his way into your FLEX with Joe Flacco throwing the ball.
5. Brenton Strange (TE – Jacksonville Jaguars)

As Jacksonville’s starting tight end, Strange faces a Panthers defense that struggled against TEs last season.
He’s a great streaming option for Week 1 and could have season-long value.
