We are just a few weeks away from the fantasy playoffs, and the Cardinals and Panthers are both on bye this week. If you're looking for a replacement for DJ Moore (who looks much better without Baker Mayfield) or DeAndre Hopkins, there are a few wideouts on today's list that could fill in. At the QB position, if you're looking for a sub for Aaron Rodgers or Kyler Murray, I have a few options there, too. It remains thin at RB and TE, but there are some streamable assets and assets to stash for your playoff run in the article below.
Remember to check out the "others" list at the bottom of each category. This list includes players that are more than 50% rostered but are still available in many leagues and have recently been featured and are still widely available.
As we get further into the season, if you have FAAB budget left, feel free to spend it. Remember, you can't take it with you. Also, be sure to double-check when the last week is that you are allowed to make waiver pickups. Some leagues do not allow you to make moves once the playoffs begin. For that reason, these FAAB numbers are only a loose guide.
QUARTERBACKS WAIVER WIRE
Jared Goff (DET) FAAB up to 8%
Remember the hot start for Jared Goff? He's cooled off since then and has been dropped in quite a few leagues, but on Thursday, he tossed two TDs for 240 yards vs. the Buffalo Bills in a near-upset win. The Lions continue playing from behind, and Goff's weapons are getting healthy. Amon-Ra St. Brown had a big day on Thursday, D'Andre Swift saw more touches than he had since Week 8, and DJ Chark caught a TD pass. Next up for Goff are two very favorable matchups with Jacksonville and Minnesota, both of which have struggled in coverage all season long. Goff is available in 54% of fantasy football leagues.
