CLEVELAND, OH – Trade deadlines have come and gone in the majority of fantasy leagues. There were a few injuries last week, which make the waiver wire adds even more crucial. Making the right decisions in free agency is crucial if your team is going to make the fantasy playoffs.
Here are the players worth adding this week:
Deebo Samuel (54%) – Samuel is a must-add in all leagues following back-to-back stellar performances. He finished with eight receptions for 134 yards against the Cardinals. He has 16 receptions for 246 yards in his last two games. The rookie is surging at the right time. He’s a must-own in all leagues.
Jonathan Williams (5%) – Williams ran for 116 yards on 13 attempts for the Colts after Marlon Mack went down with an injured left hand. He has RB2 potential with Mack out, but will battle Nyheim Hines for touches.
Nyheim Hines (17%) – Speaking of Hines, the Colts’ rushing attack will go through him and Williams with Mack injured. He’s worth adding in deeper leagues. Indianapolis will likely have to rely on both backs on Thursday against Houston.
James Washington (8%) – The Steelers could be without JuJu Smith-Schuster and Diontae Johnson this weekend against the Bengals, which makes Washington a nice streaming option in 12-team leagues. He has 13 receptions for 208 yards and one touchdown in his last three games. Washington is worth adding if you need help at wide receiver.
Jacob Hollister (31%) – Hollister has been a stud in recent weeks for the Seahawks. He has 12 receptions and three touchdowns in his last two games. Russell Wilson relies on his tight ends to make plays in the red zone. Hollister has TE1 potential for the rest of the season.
Ryan Griffin (3%) – Griffin had five receptions for 109 yards and a touchdown against the Redskins. He has four receptions in three of his last four games and will be a high-end TE2 and worthwhile streaming option moving forward.
Derrius Guice (48%) – Guice had a 45 yard touchdown reception in his return to the field. The second-year pro has battled injuries, but showed he can still be a game changer. If Guice is available in your league, he’s worth adding. He has a chance to be a RB2 down the stretch and into the fantasy playoffs.
DeVante Parker (59%) – Parker has been a consistent threat for the Dolphins this season. He has at least four receptions and 55 yards receiving in each of his last five games. He finished with seven receptions for 135 yards in Week 11 against a tough Bills’ defense. Parker continues to prove he’s a WR3 with plenty of upside. He should be owned in all leagues.
Other players worth watching:
Jeff Driskel (3%), Sam Darnold (22%), Cameron Brate (2%), Jakeem Grant (2%), Tony Pollard (12%), Phillip Dorsett (29%), Dallas Goedert (19%), Dawson Knox (6%), Ben Watson (2%), Bo Scarbrough (2%), Randall Cobb (15%), David Njoku (18%).
