The Waiver Wire Wizard is Back

The Pick-up Prince, the Infallible Fabulous FAAB, whatever you want to call me really. Let’s make some pick-ups. This is what separates the boys from the men in fantasy football.

Any site can give you the heavy hitters, here are my favorite SNEAKY adds at each position.

QB- Joe Flacco- Well, well, well…Joe just got an upgrade of offensive weaponry around him. Flacco was consistently a top-12 fantasy quarterback when he started at the end of 2023 and a top-20 quarterback when starting in 2024. With Chase and Higgins on the outside and the Bengals terrible defense, Flacco should return to fantasy relevance.

RB- Hassan Haskins- While everyone is rushing to pick up Kimani Vidal because he has more projected points and he’s the more familiar name. But Haskins was the primary backup to Hampton before he went down, had more snaps than Vidal. But Vidal was out there finishing drives when the RB room got shaken up. I’m not in love with either, but let someone else blow their FAAB or their waiver priority on a practice squad guy. Meanwhile, we’ll sit firm and pick up Jim Harbaugh’s college running back.

WR- Jalen Coker- The Panthers desperately need a #2 for T-Mac and Coker is the best option to do that. Xavier Legette did score a TD in their last game but Coker has been the better pro of the 2 since coming into the league, and since he started the season on IR, he’ll be out there to be had.

TE- AJ Barner- Not a “sneaky” name based on what he did this weekend, He was TE1 in fantasy. But I think a lot of your league mates will see a name they don’t recognize and move on. This wasn’t a fluke though. PFF.com has Barner as one of the top graded TE’s on the year. 4 TD’s this season, go get him.

DST- Pats-  The Patriots defense has been solid so far and their schedule is about to get light as a feather. Saints, Titans, Browns in consecutive weeks.
