This week and every week going forward we’ll bring you several recommendations for players you should add to your dynasty rosters. We’ll mainly be targeting lower-owned guys who should be available in all but the deepest leagues.
Be sure to check out all of our in-season content right here.
(There will be no recommended FAAB spends in this article, as those decisions always depend on your team’s needs)
Travis Homer (RB – SEA)
I’m certain you’re in need of a running back, like every dynasty manager in 2020. It’s a battle of attrition. But, never fear, there still may be a few useful players left on the waiver wire to plug in for a couple of weeks. Seattle Seahawks’ running back Travis Homer is one of those players. The Seahawks’ starting running back suffered a sprained knee in Sunday’s matchup against the Dallas Cowboys and will likely miss some time. Homer, along with Carlos Hyde, will work as a tandem to fill Carson’s shoes. Hyde is probably already owned, but that’s ok. Homer provides a higher upside for PPR leagues as he will be utilized in the passing game more often.
Cedrick Wilson (WR – DAL)
After receiving zero targets in the first two games of the season, Cedrick Wilson exploded on the scene this Sunday catching five of seven targets for 107 yards and two touchdowns. This is just one game and we don’t know if it’s a fluke but we may not know for some time. The Cowboys are loaded at wide receiver and it will be tough for Wilson to earn consistent playing time behind the likes of Amari Cooper, Michael Gallup, and Ceedee Lamb. That said, the wire is probably so thin right now this is the kind of player you will find if you’re in any kind of need or have the roster space. One piece of advice is do not spend a large percentage of FAAB on Wilson. This kind of performance is unsustainable.
Blake Bortles (QB – DEN)
The Denver Broncos find themselves in a really tough position with their starting quarterback out with a shoulder injury and felt the need to sign Blake Bortles. Do we think Bortles is good? No. But, with all the injuries going on this year, and current starter Jeff Driskel playing quite poorly, it’s possible he plays some snaps. This is clearly only for the deeper Super-Flex or 2QB leagues, but it needs to be said.
Kalif Raymond (WR – TEN)
Here we have another wide receiver who caught zero passes in the first two weeks but made a name for himself in A.J. Brown’s absence. Raymond caught all three targets for 118 yards in the Tennessee Titans’ win over the Minnesota Vikings. He probably has very little value once Brown returns considering the team’s low passing volume. But, we’ve seen what he can do when an injury pushes him up the depth chart.
Easton Stick (QB – LAC)
In dynasty league you’re always trying to get ahead of the curve and seeing Justin Herbert shaken up Sunday made me realize Easton Stick should be owned in every league. Knowing the team doctors are already working against Tyrod Taylor, we have to be extra careful and protect our investments in dynasty. He’s on every waiver wire I’ve seen, but if you own Herbert you should try to get Stick on your roster, at least for the short term.
Dontrelle Inman (WR – WAS)
Inman has bounced around so many teams most people probably forgot he was still in the league. If you didn’t know, he’s been playing for the Washington Football Team and quietly producing. The numbers don’t jump out at you, but they are consistent. He’s received at least five targets in each of the first three games and scored two touchdowns this past week. This is a pretty solid pickup in the midst of all the waste on the wire so if you need a wide receiver, this may be your main target.
