In-season, Waiver

Waiver Hub – Week 2

Happy Tuesday, Mike here, welcome back to my weekly Waiver HUB. Follow me on Twitter (@FantasyHubbard) for all things fantasy football throughout the season.

Week 1 is in the books and week 2 is knocking on the door just a few days away. The Philadelphia Eagles will take on the Minnesota Vikings in Philly. Eagles will look to improve on their lackluster performance in New England and the Vikings are still wondering how they lost to the Bucs. Last year the Eagles destroyed Minnesota in Philly in week 2 by a score of 24-7. Jalen Hurts had 3 total TDs in that game.  My prediction for this game is a statement victory for the Eagles by a score of 34-10 including a Hurts score. Keep an eye on Addison for the Vikings, could be a sneaky play here with Darius Slay draped on Justin Jefferson and Bradberry banged up a little.

Fantasy football is underway now so it’s time to make some moves and prepare for fantasy post season greatness. Injuries are inevitable so here’s another chance to hit the waiver wire and get impactful players. Another week gone, another opportunity to make your team stronger and inch your way to that league trophy and an offseason of bragging rights.

Below are my top waiver wire priorities this week. Go get those available players to help your chances at a championship. Good luck this week and remember to check back every week to stay informed on who you could target off of waivers.

TOP PRIORITY OF THE WEEK

Kenneth Gainwell – Philadelphia Eagles

Gainwell was the clear RB1 in Philly this past weekend rushing for 54 yards on 15 carries and catching all 4 of his targets for 20 receiving yards. Hurts rushed 9 times himself, but no other player had more than 1 carry. Both Boston Scott and D’Andre Swift each had 1 carry and Rashaad Penny was a healthy scratch week 1. Be wary and keep an eye on him because he plays Thursday this week, and the word is his ribs are hurting. If he is a full go, I would scoop him up and even if he sits out this week, he is the most promising of the Eagles RBs so far.

Steelers Have 1st-Round Grade On Ole Miss QB Jaxson Dart
The Steelers have a first-round grade on Ole Miss quarterback Jaxson Dart, according to Gerry Dulac of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, though that does not mean they’ll prioritize the position over other needs in next week’s draft. Instead, Dulac writes, Pittsburgh will likely target a defensive lineman or even a running back with their first-round pick. […]

The Athletic's Mike DeFabo believes the Steelers won't draft Alabama QB Jalen Milroe if he's available at pick No. 21.
DeFabo notes in a recent article that Milroe "has generated a lot of buzz in Pittsburgh," and highlights comments made on The Herd with Colin Cowherd, who said an executive told him the Steelers "really like" Milroe. According to DeFabo, however, he's "hearing the exact opposite." The Steelers beat writer goes so far as to predict the team wouldn't take Milroe if he "is sitting there in the third round." The Steelers are in need of a quarterback, again, and the Aaron Rodgers saga doesn't appear to be getting resolved any time soon. Assuming there's a prospect they like in the draft, the Steelers feel like a near lock to take a shot on a signal-caller at some point, but DeFabo's bold prediction suggests Milroe is nowhere near the team's radar. We'll see how things play out in the coming days, with the draft just days away.

Aaron Rodgers Age, Durability Were Giants Biggest Concerns
The Giants seriously considered pursuing Aaron Rodgers, but concerns about his age and durability were too significant for team president John Mara to move forward with a potential signing, according to Ryan Dunleavy of the New York Post. General manager Joe Schoen and head coach Brian Daboll preferred Rodgers to the other quarterbacks available in free […]
