With massive bye weeks here, injuries galore, you are probably rushing to the Waiver Wire in hopes to keep your team afloat. The Waiver Wire is where you win or lose your fantasy leagues, not at the drafts where you think you have a stacked team. You could be like me currently, playing the worst team in your league this week, but having a real good chance at losing because you are in Bye Week Hell.
D’Ernest Johnson - 6% owned
Last season when both Kareem Hunt and Nick Chubb were not available, Johnson stepped in and made some noise. With Chubb still questionable for Thursday night, it could be worth a shot to pick up the man who filled his shoes last year. Last week's usage was all due to game script, as the Browns were down bad, this week they will look to slow the pace down and control the game to the best of their abilities. In Week 4 last season, Johnson rushed 13 times for 95 yards, he is more than capable of handling a decent workload for a week or two. I personally believe that the Browns rest Chubb to be safe against a Broncos run defense who has looked bad the past few weeks.

JD McKissic - 44% owned With Antonio Gibson’s shin being a nagging injury, there is value to JD MicKissic being a RB1 if Gibson cannot play in Week 7. The WFT face off against the Packers who struggle against pass catching RBs, it could be a juicy matchup for the Scat back regardless of whether Gibson plays or not. JD McKissic has 28 targets in the passing game to start the year, and his usage will only be increased if Gibson is out. I believe he should be owned regardless, but some of these 10 team leagues think otherwise.
Rhamondre Stevenson - 24% owned
Damien Harris was seen limping off the field vs the Cowboys in the 4th quarter, which means it is finally time we could see Stevenson get a full workload! He was already getting a fair share of work last week, having 8 total touches including 3 catches, 62 total yards and found the end zone. He is a big bruising back with good hands and a nose for the end zone. We talked about him during preseason, but nobody believed us. The Patriots have a favorable matchup against the Jets next week, and he could see an expanded workload.

Ricky Seals Jones - 39% owned
I’m not sure why people wait until after players produce to run and try to grab them. We told you Ricky Seals Jones was the TE pickup of the week last week, but somehow 61% of fantasy players disagreed. Seals Jones had to go out and show the haters why they were wrong, bringing in 4 catches for 58 yards and a score. As long as Logan Thomas is out, Ricky Seals Jones should be a starter in lineups at the TE position.
Christian Kirk - 54% owned
Why are we still telling you to pick up Christian Kirk at this point in the season? He is the WR26, has 4 games with at least 5 receptions, and is averaging just under 14 fantasy points per game. He is the WR2 in one of the most high powered passing offenses in the NFL, with the most dynamic QB in the league. Stop stalling for time, grab him before you are in Bye week hell and are looking to play a WR50 in your lineup.
Rashod Bateman - 44% owned
Rashod Bateman made his NFL debut last week against the Chargers, bringing in 4 of 6 targets for 29 yards. The upside is great for the rookie WR who they took early in the draft, and getting involved right away in his debut shows as such. Could be a great mid season addition to your bench and could potentially help you win your leagues!
