In-season, Waiver

Waiver Hub – Week 6

It’s Tuesday which means it’s time to hit the waiver wire. Mike Hubbard Jr here, welcome back to my weekly Waiver HUB. Follow me on Twitter (@FantasyHubbard) for all things fantasy football throughout the season. Feel free to tweet me or message me with any comments or questions you might have regarding fantasy football.

Week 5 has concluded and week 6 starts on Thursday with a matchup between 2 teams under .500 trying desperately to get a win. The Washington Commanders are 1-4 and the Chicago Bears are 2-3. The game is in Chicago with an even line and over/under set at 38 currently. A majority of primetime games this season have been borderline boring and low scoring, and this is set up to continue that. The Bears will likely try to run wild, and the Commanders are just going to try to hold a lead. I like Brian Robinson to have a possible breakout and Justin Fields to be running all night. I am going to pick the Commanders in this game by a score of 24-16.

Fantasy football is well underway now so it’s time to make some moves and prepare for fantasy post season greatness. Injuries are inevitable so here’s another chance to hit the waiver wire and get impactful players. Another week gone, another opportunity to make your team stronger and inch your way to that league trophy and an offseason of bragging rights.

Below are my top waiver wire priorities this week. Go get those available players to help your chances at a championship. Good luck this week and remember to check back every week to stay informed on who you could target off of waivers.

TOP PRIORITY OF THE WEEK

Kenneth Walker III – Seattle Seahawks

Walker is set to start as RB1 for Seattle when they take on Arizona. Rashaad Penny had an explosive 151 rushing yards and 2 TDs in week 4 and unfortunately broke his fibula in week 5. With Penny not playing it opens the door for Walker. He was drafted in the 2nd round of this year’s NFL draft out of Michigan State. Seattle is very high on him and for good reason. Walker finished week 5 with 88 rushing yards and a TD on just 8 carries. Walker has potential especially the way Geno Smith has been playing. Seattle has been putting up points and Walker should contribute to that. We all know the Seahawks love to run the ball so I’m expecting 15-20 carries for him moving forward. League winner upside.

Bucky Irving: Nets 80 all-purpose yards in loss

Mecole Hardman caught all three targets for 17 yards in the Chiefs' Week 9 win over the Buccaneers.
Hardman departed in the first quarter following a hard fall on the sidelines on a punt return, initially listed as questionable to return. He would start the second half with the team and eventually secure all three targets for a modest 17 yards. He also saw a red zone carry that was called back for offensive holding. Even so, Hardman's fantasy utility in an offense now with DeAndre Hopkins is fleeting, at best.

Justin Watson caught 3-of-4 targets for 43 yards in the Chiefs' Week 9 win over the Buccaneers.
Watson continues to play the most snaps at wide receiver for the Chiefs but took a backseat to both Travis Kelce and DeAndre Hopkins, the former of whom set a career-high with 14 receptions and the latter of whom scored twice in the overtime victory. Even so, Watson should continue to see elevated snap rates based on the currently available personnel on the roster, albeit still unlikely to return fantasy utility in the process.

Xavier Worthy failed to catch either of his two targets in the Chiefs' Week 9 win over the Buccaneers, losing 10 yards on two carries.
Worthy was far from emphasized against the Buccaneers after an early mistake cost the team seven points. Worthy appeared to score on the team's opening possession from 33 yards out but he was ultimately ruled out of bounds after failing to get both feet down in the field of play, something that appeared to come with some level of nonchalance. Instead of ensuring both feet were inbounds, Worthy caught the ball while backpedalling towards the left pylon, both heels clipping the white paint along the sideline. Head coach Andy Reid was clearly aggravated with the rookie wide receiver during his halftime interview as the team departed the field of play, something that could have influenced his usage in the second half. Cementing his fantasy dud was a failed end around in the third quarter, on which he lost 10 yards. Worthy's next opportunity to return fantasy utility comes in Week 10 against the stout Denver secondary.
