Deep dives
Waiver Wire Potential League Winners
Several players on the waiver wire may not contribute immediately but possess potential to be impactful later in the season. Candidates like Tyler Algier, Zach Charbonnet, and Blake Corum are highlighted for their ability to handle significant workloads if the starters miss time. These running backs, all currently under 60 percent ownership, could serve as valuable flex plays in the future. Focusing on these potential league winners instead of less impactful wide receivers or backups might benefit fantasy teams in the long run.
Juju Smith-Schuster's Role in the Chiefs' Offense
Juju Smith-Schuster has emerged as a reliable option within the Chiefs' receiving corps, with his roster ownership sitting around 32 percent in Yahoo leagues. His ability to find soft spots in zone coverage and develop chemistry with quarterback Patrick Mahomes gives him a stable role as a wide receiver three. Despite not being the standout player of his earlier career, his predictability and experience lend a safety net in Kansas City's current offense. As he continues to align with Mahomes, his value in fantasy remains significant, particularly as the season progresses.
Ty Chandler's Potential to Shine
Ty Chandler may have a critical opportunity in the upcoming weeks, especially with Aaron Jones dealing with injury. His previous performance in the absence of Alexander Madison showcased his potential to take on substantial rushing responsibilities. Although his skill set is not exceptional, Chandler's speed and the Vikings' trust in him could allow for significant fantasy production if given the chance. He represents a worthwhile pickup for fantasy managers seeking running back depth, even if his immediate role remains uncertain.
Isaac Garendo's Opportunity in San Francisco
Isaac Garendo has garnered attention after stepping up during a recent game, especially with Jordan Mason's injury. With standout athleticism and speed, he showcases his potential to fill in for Christian McCaffrey while he is sidelined. Although still raw, Garendo's explosive ability could be tapped into by the 49ers, potentially making him a valuable asset for fantasy rosters in need of running back help. His recent performance suggests he should be monitored closely for opportunities as the season progresses.
