The fantasy gods can be exceptional fishermen. They often dangle live waiver wire bait, just waiting for largemouth fantasy managers to take a bite.
There are a lot of lures in the free-agent waters this week, particularly at the wide receiver position. These options might look like nice snacks to gobble up from the waiver pool, but don’t get hooked. It is possible all you reel in is a wasted roster spot for a player you can never confidently play.
Names we recognize create more fantasy ripples than new ones. So of the WRs who had big Week 10s who also are likely to be swimming in the waiver pond, the one making the biggest splash likely is Marquez Valdes-Scantling.
He is a known name to most fantasy managers. He had some hype when he was with the Aaron Rodgers Packers years ago. He got some similar buzz more recently with the Patrick Mahomes Chiefs. He mostly got overlooked when he was with the Josh Allen Bills earlier this year.
