Week 2 Waiver Wire Priorities: Top Fantasy Football Additions for 2025

Top Waiver Wire Priorities

• 🚨 Marquise Brown, Keenan Allen, and Quentin Johnston are identified as the top three waiver wire priorities, all wide receivers.
• 💡 The discussion highlights that it's a relatively weak week for waiver wire options, with many previously popular players already rostered.
• 🎯 Tight end is noted as a significant position of need due to injuries to players like George Kittle and Evan Engram.

Dave Richard's Top Picks

• 🌟 Hollywood Brown is ranked as the number one priority, followed by Keenan Allen.
• ❓ The third priority is a coin flip between Jawan Johnson and Harold Fannin, depending on team needs.
• 🏃‍♂️ Dylan Johnson is mentioned as a potential running back pickup if a team is in a bind, available in only 36% of leagues.
• 🏈 Other wide receiver considerations include Wel Robinson (PPR) and Cedric Tillman (short-term).

Player Analysis and Roster Percentages

• 📈 Roster percentages vary significantly across platforms, with Quentin Johnston at 9% on Yahoo compared to higher percentages on CBS.
• 🤔 Dave expresses hesitation on Quentin Johnston, preferring the perceived volume and safety of Keenan Allen due to concerns about the Chargers supporting three receivers consistently.
• 📉 Players like Derrrick Henry and Cooper Kupp are suggested as potential drops to make room for higher-priority waiver adds.

Cleveland Browns Offensive Discussion

• 🏈 The Cleveland Browns' offense presents an interesting waiver wire situation with potential adds like Dylan Johnson (RB), Harold Fannin (TE), and Cedric Tillman (WR).
• 📊 Despite a tough schedule, the Browns scored 16 points in Week 1, with Joe Flacco throwing 45 times, suggesting a pass-heavy approach.
• 🎯 Cedric Tillman showed promise last year, out-targeting other receivers in a four-game stretch before injury, and led the team in red zone and end zone targets.
• ❓ The main question is whether the volume will be distributed enough among multiple pass-catchers, including David Njoku and Jerry Jeudy.

Tight End Landscape

• 🧐 Harold Fannin is highlighted as a talented player who operated as the team's third receiver, coming off a strong college season.
• ⚠️ Concerns exist about Fannin's long-term volume, especially with David Njoku still established, and the possibility of his Week 1 performance being a one-off.
• 📉 The Bengals were a favorable matchup for tight ends last year, which might not carry over to future weeks for Fannin.

Future Outlook and Waiver Strategy

• 🚀 Quinn Sean Judkins is identified as a potential top waiver option if available, with the expectation of him being a player to target once he's ramped up.
• 📈 The Browns' offense is expected to continue a pass-heavy game plan, potentially leading to opportunities for multiple receivers and tight ends.
• ⏳ Waiver wire pickups are often about future potential, with players like Judkins being stashes rather than immediate starters.
