Hello DFF members, my name is Chris and this year I will be writing the weekly dynasty waiver adds piece. In this article I will be writing about players that I feel should be owned in much higher quantities in your dynasty leagues. I will try to stick to low ownership percentages, around 30% or less, but if there is a guy above that, who I think should be owned significantly more I will include them as well. I will be focusing on a 12-team, full PPR set-up for these articles but the players I am choosing should apply in 10-team leagues as well. Without further ado let’s get into the waiver adds.
Pierre Strong, RB NE – 22.16% Owned
FAAB Recommendation: 5%
I know I had a different Patriots RB on this list last week but shortly after publishing that back was placed on IR. Strong is my pick here because I believe he is slated as the 3rd string back behind Damien Harris and Rhamondre Stevenson. He is in competition with Kevin Harris for that spot but with the pre-season performances and camp reports, I think Strong is ahead. You make this add to stash if one of Harris or Stevenson gets hurt and that is all.
Jerome Ford, RB CLE – 19.81%
FAAB Recommendation: 3%
Ford may be listed as the RB4 on this team’s depth chart but that can change in an instant. For right now the Browns are happy with Hunt and Chubb healthy, but if anything happens to either of them they will need to take harder looks at these backups. Ford did well in my rookie RB model and if given the opportunity could score solid fantasy points. This is another play that is contingent on an injury but could even work out well if the Browns move on from Hunt after this year. Ford would be fighting for that RB2 spot and if he earned it his value would explode. Waivers are for getting cheap players early, don’t be late.
Noah Brown, WR DAL – 17.55%
FAAB Recommendation: 15%
Noah Brown just had a good week two game in which led the team in receiving yards and scored the Cowboys’ only passing TD. This could be due to a level of familiarity between Cooper Rush and Brown in practice showing through in the games. Brown will be a startable flex as long as Rush is the Cowboys’ QB. Brown could even remain a producer when Dak returns due to the currently injured Dalton Schultz and Michael Gallup.
Ashton Dulin, WR IND – 15.98%
FAAB Recommendation: 15%
With Michael Pittman and Alex Pierce sidelined, Dulin stepped right into the Colts offense and led the team in targets, receptions, and receiving yards. It will be a tough hill to climb, but as a non-believer in Alex pierce, if Dulin can weasel into that WR2 we could see a lot more consistent production from him. I do not think we even need an injury for this one to pay off, just need Dulin to outwork Pierce and he will get the chance to start. Dulin needs to be added everywhere.
N’Keal Harry, WR CHI – 5.9%
FAAB Recommendation: 0% if possible, 1% if you have a minimum bid
Harry has had one of the worst starts to a career that I have ever seen for a round-one wide receiver. He finds himself in Chicago, with a bad group of receivers who are not producing. Once Harry gets healthy he could easily step in as the WR2 for this team. This, however, is no must-add or a rush to waivers type of guy. I just feel that 6% is far too low for this player. In your average 12-team league, he should be seeing a lot closer to 50% ownership than 5%.
Honorable Mentions
Julius Chestnut, RB TEN – 7.45% Owned
Deon Jackson, RB IND – 5.67%
Kevin Harris, RB NE – 4.84%
