Week 6 Waiver Adds

Andy Dalton: Dak Prescott went down against the Giants with a horrible ankle injury and now it's time for Dalton to take over. He went 9/11 with 111 yards in under a half of play and led Dallas to a victory. With the offensive weapons around him combined with the horrible Dallas defense, he has a good chance to put up great numbers and be throwing all day. As a QB who started for the Bengals for nine years, he's going to be eager to get back on the field and prove that he can start somewhere else when Prescott returns. He's a QB2 with QB1 upside.

Ryan Fitzpatrick: Fitzmagic has scored 21+ fantasy points in his last four games and is playing some of the best ball of his career. He's coming off a game in which he lit up the 49ers defense to the tune of 350 yards and 3 TDs scoring 27 fantasy points. The sky is the limit for Fitz after this week after dismantling a top 5 defense. If he consistently gets 20+ points a game he will become a QB1. 

Alexander Mattison: After Dalvin Cook left the game against the Seahawks with an adductor strain, Mattison came in and rushed 20 times for 112 yards against a good Seattle rush defense. He looked extremely explosive and was running the ball with purpose looking like a top RB. Cook is most likely going to miss this weekend's matchup against Atlanta and Mattison is a must-start if you can pick him up. 

Chase Claypool: Claypool exploded last weekend against the Eagles for over 110 total yards and 4 TDs. Smith-Schuster was non-existent in this one as Claypool stole the show and it could be a sign of things to come. If Diontae Johnson gets back and can stay healthy, Claypool's value will decline. However, if Johnson continues battling injuries and Big Ben continues to show Claypool the love, he could be a WR2 for the rest of the season. 

Brandin Cooks: In the first game without Bill O'Brian, Cooks had his best game of the season being targeted 12 times with 8 catches for 161 yards and a TD against the Jags. Cooks was one of the best WRs in the league when he was with the Saints and if interim coach Romeo Crennel likes Cook over the other Houston WRs, he's in for a great rest of the season. Deshaun Watson also had his best performance of the year which will only help Cooks' case. He could easily be a WR2 going forward.

Jimmy Graham: Graham has been a top 10 fantasy TE since Nick Foles took over at QB for the Bears. He has 3 TDs and 126 yards in his last three games and is the biggest red-zone threat for Chicago. The TE is a tough position to consistently get points from but with Graham's incredible TD upside, he makes for a good play especially if he has a favorable matchup.

Week 11 Start 'Em Sit 'Em

Start 'Em Ben Roethlisberger : Roethlisberger was playing solid ball up until two weeks ago when he decided to show fantasy owners he's still got it. He's passed for 639 yards and 7 TDs in that span while throwing no INTs. Pittsburgh has Smith-Schuster, Claypool and Johnson as their top 3 WRs which gives Roethlisberger three of the league's top threats to choose from. This week, he gets a good matchup in Jacksonville as he looks to keep his hot streak alive. With James Conner and the running game struggling, Big Ben could be carrying the load offensively once again. Fire him up as a top 5 play this week. Kalen Ballage : Ballage has taken over the Chargers backfield over the past two weeks and will be starting once more before Ekeler's projected week 12 return. In two games as a starter, he has combined for 186 total yards and a score. This week, the Chargers play host to the Jets who have given up 27 fantasy points a game to opposing RBs, and Ballage should be able

Week 11 Sleepers

Alex Smith : It's been two years since Smith's gruesome leg injury against the Texans in 2018. In his first two games back from injury he has passed for over 700 total yards with a TD and 3 INTs. These numbers aren't great for fantasy by any means but they do show that he has been successful in moving the ball. This week, Washington plays host to the Bengals who have one of the league's worst pass defenses. There's no doubt that Smith will be able to move the ball in this one. As long as Gibson doesn't vulture his TDs like he did last week, Smith should be able to have a 20+ point fantasy performance. Damien Harris : Harris has already made an appearance on my sleepers list but didn't have the game I had hoped for. This week, in Houston, I believe he'll have his biggest game of the season. In week 10, he rushed the ball 22 times for 121 against Baltimore's stout rush defense. If he can do that against one of the league's best, he should be able t

Week 12 Sleepers!

Carson Wentz : Wentz is in the middle of an abysmal season and Doug Peterson is being called on to bench him. Wentz knows he needs to step it up as the Eagles are right in the mix to win the NFC East. This week, the Eagles will play host to Seattle and their league-worst passing defense. This is Wentz's chance to prove that he is still worthy of starting for Philadelphia. In every game the Seahawks have played, opposing QBs have had some of the best games of their careers. If Wentz doesn't have a great game, his fantasy value for the rest of the season is absolutely none. If you stream QBs, Wentz is a good option as he has to show up for his team against a horrible secondary. Derek Carr : Carr has been a surprisingly consistent fantasy option this year and has a mouthwatering matchup in Atlanta this weekend. Coming off a tough loss against KC in which Carr passed for 275 yards, 3 TDs and an INT, he's poised for another big game. Atlanta has been stout against the run all ye
