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)
Isaiah Ford (WR – MIA)
Isaiah Ford is surprisingly second in target share (17.7%) for the Miami Dolphins through Week 4 of the 2020 season. He’s finished three games with five or more targets and two games with nine or more targets. Ford has yet to score a touchdown and his snap share isn’t consistent from week to week, but he was a late-round darling before suffering a knee injury his rookie year. The Dolphins don’t have much at receiver behind DeVante Parker and Preston Williams so the opportunity is there. He would shoot up ranks if either starter were to suffer an injury. The dynasty waiver wire is pretty thin at this point so any shot at weekly production is worth taking.
Richard Rodgers (TE – PHI)
Dallas Goedert was placed on IR after reportedly fracturing his ankle. The Eagles run two tight end sets 59% of the time! That’s over 29% more than any other team. This isn’t even a matter of talent, but opportunity. He’s also good insurance with the injury bug going around. Rodgers caught three of four targets in Week 4 but could certainly snag a touchdown and become a viable fantasy option.
D’Ernest Johnson (RB – CLE)
Johnson is someone who probably shouldn’t be on waivers but everywhere I look, he’s there. We should have known if there were an injury to one of the workhorses they would utilize a backup similarly. The Browns are a running team. In fact, they have the highest run rate in the league at 53%. Johnson received 13 carries for 95 yards in his first action with Nick Chubb sidelined. Very encouraging for a back up and certainly, the top waiver wire add of the week. This is likely where you want to spend your FAAB.
Ryan Nall (RB – CHI)
Ryan Nall was never a superb runner but he did show his pass-catching chops at Oregon State years ago. Maybe that will come in handy with Tarik Cohen out for the year with a torn ACL. Nall returned a kick but received zero targets, so nothing exciting about this pick up. Cordarrelle Patterson is the clear back up at this point, but Nall could see more work as the year goes on. Especially if they don’t sign any veteran or free agents.
Tyler Ervin (RB – GBP)
A.J. Dillion has been limited in recent weeks, opening the door for Tyler Ervin. You’re probably unfamiliar with him, like most, but he has a 100% catch rate this season and that’s certainly something that will get Aaron Rodgers’ attention. This has also been the year of damage control. So, I’m personally looking to get ahead of the Aaron Jones’ type injuries in any dynasty league.
Chris Hogan (WR – NYJ)
Hogan is not someone you WANT to roster in dynasty but it’s a war of attrition, and if your team has been decimated, Hogan may be exactly what you need. He’s received eight targets twice this year and is third on the team in target share (17.2%). If you need a receiver, he’s getting the opportunity and he’s available for next to nothing.
