Tier 1 – 35-50%
1. RB Kimani Vidal – Los Angeles Chargers
“Vidal is about as good a bet out there, right now, besides maybe Tyrone Tracey Jr. and Bucky Irving, to be 2024’s most materially-dominant breakout running back. Prioritize him on waivers this week.” — Dan Johnson
2. WR Bub Means – New Orleans Saints
“Means was a fifth-round pick out of Pitt and will likely be a big part of the Saints youth movement while Carr and Olave are out. The Broncos have a solid secondary but may be without Patrick Surtain II (concussion), leaving Bub in a much better matchup.” — Zach Thompson
3. QB Drake Maye – New England Patriots
“The fantasy quarterback market is so volatile that Maye’s upside is worth rostering. He’s a streaming option in deeper leagues as soon as his next game against the woeful Jaguars. Don’t wait until he fully bursts onto the scene—buy low and get in now.” — Xaiver Aguiar
Tier 2 – 10-20%
4. TE Zach Ertz – Washington Commanders
“He had a season-high eight targets last week and has had multiple catches in every game this season for an average of 38 yards per game. As Daniels gets more comfortable and the Commanders let him throw more, Ertz should continue to be a fringe starter with good touchdown upside.” — Zach Thompson
5. D/ST Cincinnati Bengals
“After the Giants, Cincinnati will face the Browns, Eagles and Raiders, who have all ranked in the top 10 of fantasy football points allowed to opposing defenses.” — Zach Thompson
