New Orleans: Welcome to Championship Week, everyone! We made it, and now it’s time to go for that ring.
If you’re looking for one last boost from the waiver wire, you’re in the right place. Each week, we highlight the top potential pickups that are still available in at least half of Yahoo leagues. It’s time to spend that FAB money, folks, because it won’t roll over to next year. Grab what you need!
Let’s talk running backs. Kendre Miller is stepping up for the Saints with Alvin Kamara out. He’s been solid lately, rushing for 78 yards in the last couple of games. He could be a flex option against the Raiders.
Then there’s Alexander Mattison and Ameer Abdullah from the Raiders. They both had decent games last week, and with a matchup against New Orleans coming up, they could be worth a look.
Don’t forget about Gus Edwards, who’s been finding the end zone a lot lately. Just keep an eye on J.K. Dobbins’ return. Michael Carter is also stepping in for the injured James Conner, so he might be a good pickup too.
Now, let’s move on to wide receivers and tight ends. Jalen McMillan from the Buccaneers had a great game recently, catching five passes and scoring a touchdown. He’s likely to get more opportunities with some injuries on the team.
Hollywood Brown is back in action for the Chiefs, catching five passes last week. He’s a solid option now that he’s healthy and playing with Patrick Mahomes.
Chig Okonkwo from the Titans is also worth mentioning. He’s been getting a lot of targets lately, so if you need a tight end, he could be a good choice.
For quarterbacks, Drake Maye is making waves with his dual-threat ability. He had a solid game against Buffalo and is facing the Chargers next, who have been struggling defensively.
Lastly, the Dolphins’ defense is looking strong. They’ve been performing well against both the run and pass, and they’re up against a struggling Browns offense this week.
And if you need a kicker, Will Reichard from the Vikings is a great option. He’s been consistent and is part of a high-scoring offense.
So, there you have it! Make those pickups and get ready to claim your championship!
