Dynasty Wire – Week 1

Week 1 is complete, and the first waiver wire run in all Dynasty leagues will follow. Let’s dive into the top available players with impressive opening performances in the 2024 NFL season. 

Tyler Johnson, WR, Los Angeles Rams

Puka Nacua‘s replacement seemed to be Tyler Johnson once Nacua went out for injury in Sunday night’s game vs the Lions. In an offense where Matt Stafford threw 49 passes in Week 1, Johnson could see an increased role across the next month as Puka Nacua sits on IR. 

Justice Hill, RB, Baltimore Ravens

With the Baltimore Ravens playing from behind on Thursday night vs the Chiefs, Justice Hill was on the field for 54% of snaps and was the apparent passing down back in a highly efficient offense. In PPR leagues, Hill could have standalone value while playing behind All-Pro RB Derrick Henry.

Colby Parkinson, TE, Los Angeles Rams

Parkinson played 88% of snaps and had five targets in the Rams’ Week 1 matchup. With Puka Nacua designated for IR with a knee injury, Matt Stafford could look Parkinson’s way more often. 

Mack Hollins, WR, Buffalo Bills

Getting WRs attached to outstanding QBs in fantasy is extremely rare. Scoring a touchdown in Week 1 and seeing 58 percent of snaps, Mack Hollins needs to be owned in every Dynasty league. 

Allen Lazard, WR, New York Jets

Did anyone have Allen Lazard as the WR3 overall on their Week 1 Bingo Card? I sure didn’t! With Aaron Rodgers back under center and the amount of time that Lazard and Rodgers have played together, it’s evident that Allen Lazard should be rostered in every fantasy league. This kind of upside doesn’t often come from the waiver wire, but Lazard could have the best year of his career in New York.
