I’m Tara Roberts with Yahoo Fantasy bringing you early waiver wire pickups.
No, by weeks this week.
So everyone is on the table.
Let’s take a look at three guys heading into week eight.
Back in week five, Romeo Dobbs was frustrated with his usage and ended up sitting out apparently it worked because since then, Dobbs has had his two best games of the season with two touchdowns last week and eight receptions on 10 targets for 95 yards in week seven.
Dobbs has always been one of the Packers primary receivers, but consistency in targets has really been a problem for him limiting his overall upset.
We thought that Wicks would step up and assert himself within this offense, but Wicks still continues to deal with drops in that inconsistent boom bust nature.
On the other hand, Dobbs has been very consistent and reliable for join love.
Interceptions have been on the rise for love.
So consider and reliability are critical for him and Dobbs should remain a solid flex option.
The Patriots lost again but Drake May has absolutely brought this Patriots offense back to life and the big beneficiary has been Hunter Henry.
Henry had a big game way back in week two but it struggled with an extremely low floor scoring fewer than five Fantasy points in all of his performances.
But with May starting last week, Henry saw an increase in production and continued this week with eight options on nine targets for 92 yards.
Now, this was an excellent match up against the Jacksonville Jaguars, but next week is definitely a more difficult matchup against the New York Jets.
The matchup should actually be more challenging for the receivers so may could continue to rely on Henry and Henry once again has tied in one upside with the addition of Amari Cooper to the Bills.
Everyone was essentially ready to write off the remaining receivers because Omari Cooper would clearly be the wide receiver one and to his credit Cooper did step in and immediately have production and should be the wide receiver one moving forward, but perhaps we underestimated the benefit of Cooper’s presence and what it would have for the other receivers.
Cooper being added to the lineup, took pressure off of Keon Coleman and maybe offers a look more suited to his skill set for him resulting in his best performance of the season with four receptions on seven targets for 100 and 25 yards in week eight.
The Bills face a very friendly Seattle Seahawks defense.
The entire Bills offense should see an uptick in production now that their team is complete and Keon Coleman can definitely benefit here.
