Let’s take a look at this week’s waiver wire connections presented by spectrum Scott.
Give me your large, medium and small priority players on the waiver wire this week.
Yeah, the large priority has to be Wanda Robinson.
18 catches the last two weeks as the Giants throwing the ball right around the line of scrimmage.
We’ll see if Malik Neighbors can go in week five, but Robinson is going to be heavily targeted.
Daniel Jones has two guys he trusts in this passing game.
One of them is Robinson.
His roster tag needs to go up significantly medium target.
I like Xavier Leggett had 66 yards and a touchdown in week four.
Andy Dalton doing good things in this Carolina offense with like Dave Canalis.
We saw Leggett beat zone coverage easily in week four.
I think he’s already a receiver.
They trust Adam Thielen is gone for several weeks.
Leggett is very playable during the biweekly Tucker craft.
We need tight end answers and he might be a right answer for us at that position six for 53 in a touchdown in week four.
He also had two point conversion catch.
So this goal line equity here, Jordan love is back.
Believe it.
Tucker Kraft has a chance to be a top 10 tight end for the rest of the season.
Love that take on Tucker Kraft.
You finished with the Packer, I’ll start with the Packer.
My large priority player of the way of a wire this week is dont and wicks people that follow my wide receiver work.
Know I’m very fond of wick’s ability to beat man coverage as an iso receiver and we have seen it when he’s been given opportunity when he runs a full complement of routes.
This guy produces including last week against the Minnesota Vikings.
I love to see receivers making mistakes.
The quarterback continues to stick with him including two touchdowns in the red zone for Don Taban Wicks.
I think Wicks is a guy you go pretty heavily for on the waiver wire.
My medium priority player is Trey Surman, the backup running back for the Indianapolis Colts.
Every wants to tell you this is a high ankle sprain, but it’s, it’s very mild.
It’s so it’s actually low, high ankle sprain, so, so low, it’s almost just completely not even there.
I don’t know what that means.
Uh, but I think it means that Jonathan Taylor is gonna probably miss a game here and if he does Trey Surman gets to be the starting running back for the Indianapolis Colts week five matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Trey Surman could be a starting fantasy guy right off the waiver wire, I’ll stick in that Colts offense and I’ll go with Josh Downs quarterback situation in flux.
I get it, but Josh Downs is a really good player who should earn targets as that quarterback settling receiver underneath for Anthony Richardson.
If he comes back right away, or Joe Flacco again matchup against the Jaguars this week, they play a ton of man coverage.
Josh Downs can get open against man coverage.
This has been the waiver wire connections on the Yahoo Fantasy forecast presented by Spectrum.
