Top Waiver Wire Priorities

  • 🥇 Elijah Mitchell is the top waiver wire priority for Week 2, with a recommended FAB spend of around 20-30%, potentially higher in desperate leagues.
  • 🥈 Naiim Hines is a strong consideration, especially in PPR leagues, due to his consistent target share.
  • 🥉 Mike Williams is highlighted for his significant season-long potential and strong Week 1 performance, making him a priority add.

Running Back Deep Dive: Elijah Mitchell & Others

  • 🏃‍♂️ Elijah Mitchell is expected to see a significant workload for the 49ers, though his long-term value is capped by Raheem Mostert's eventual return.
  • ⚠️ Mark Ingram is discussed as a potential short-term option with a good Week 1, but his long-term viability is questioned due to the Texans' offense and potential for other backs to get touches.
  • 🌟 Tony Jones Jr. and Kenneth Gainwell are mentioned as potential lottery tickets, with Jones being a handcuff for Alvin Kamara and Gainwell showing promise in a potential James White-like role.

Wide Receiver Targets and Analysis

  • 🎯 Sterling Shepard is a strong PPR option, especially with Daniel Jones at quarterback, showing a consistent target share and touchdown potential.
  • 🚀 Mike Williams is presented as a potential top-25 receiver for the rest of the season, offering significant upside with Justin Herbert.
  • 💡 Tim Patrick is a viable streamer, particularly while Jerry Jeudy is injured, with a favorable upcoming schedule.

Tight End and Defense Considerations

  • 🏈 Juwan Johnson and Adam Trautman are the primary tight end targets, with Johnson showing red zone threat potential and Trautman a larger target share.
  • 🛡️ The Browns and Packers are recommended DST targets for Week 2 due to favorable matchups.

Player Drop Candidates and Analysis

  • 📉 J.D. McKissic is a potential drop in non-PPR formats after a catch-less Week 1.
  • 📉 Matt Ryan is considered a drop candidate due to a poor performance and tough upcoming schedule.
  • Ronald Jones is a potential drop due to uncertainty about his role alongside Leonard Fournette.
