About the Project » Fantasy Football: Waiver wire targets for Week 2

You won your fantasy football matchup? Good for you. You lost? That’s ok http://www.giantscheapshops.com/cheap-authentic-kareem-martin-jersey , it’s only Week 1. Either way, it’s never too early to try to improve your team. Here’s a few players to look for on the waiver wire this week and some reasons why:Phillip Lindsay, RB, Denver BroncosRostered: Yahoo: 4%, ESPN: 1.9%Lindsay, surprisingly, played just three fewer snaps than starter Royce Freeman. He got the same amount of carries (15) and yards (71) as Freeman, too. Add in the two receptions Lindsay had for 31 yards and he out-touched Freeman in the game. Split running back by committees are typically a nightmare for fantasy purposes — and right now that looks to be Linsday’s ceiling — but getting than much run is something that deserves notice. Denver is home against the Oakland Raiders in Week 2, a team that just allowed 104 yards on the ground to Todd Gurley and 140 total to the Rams on Monday night.Will Dissly, TE, Seattle SeahawksRostered: Yahoo: 2%, ESPN: 0.1%Will Dissly is supposed to be a blocking tight end. He finished his first career game with just three receptions, but 105 yards and a touchdown. His five targets were tied for second on the team and only Brandon Marshall (six) was targeted more often. Opportunity is going to be open in the Seattle passing game with Doug Baldwin suffering a Grade 2 MCL sprain. Dissly’s touches also weren’t fluky. Per Next Gen Stats, Dissly was targeted an average 17.1 yards down the field, tops for tight ends in Week 1. For comparison, Tyreek Hill was targeted at 17.3 yards. Because Dissly is a “blocking” tight end and because the Seahawks want to run the ball, he should be on the field often — he saw 33 snaps, just two fewer than starting tight end Nick Vannett. If you had Delanie Walker or aren’t feeling great about your tight end, this could be a fun way to go.Phillip Dorsett, WR, New England PatriotsRostered: Yahoo: 4%, ESPN: 4.7%There are three wide receivers on the Patriots’ depth chart, so there’s not many options in the passing game. But it does appear all of them are going to get some work. Dorsett was only third on the team in targets behind James White and Rob Gronkowski, but his seven led receivers. He also got two targets — both caught — inside the 20 B.J. Goodson Jersey , one of which went for a touchdown. New England plays Jacksonville next, but Danny Amendola had seven catches for 83 yards and Brandin Cooks had six receptions for 100 yards in the AFC Championship Game last season. T.J. Yeldon, RB, Jacksonville JaguarsRostered: Yahoo: 15%, ESPN: 8%After Leonard Fournette left the game against the Giants, T.J Yeldon came in and the game plan stayed the same. Yeldon only had 14 carries for 51 yards, but he added three catches for 18 yards and a touchdown. When the Jaguars had the lead, they were fine letting Yeldon run into stacked boxes to run the clock down. If Fournette is out for an extended period of time, the Jaguars might use a little more Corey Grant in the passing game, but Yeldon would be the top back on a team set up to run the ball. He’s a must add for Fournette owners and he’ll provide standalone value for others if Fournette has to miss time.Geronimo Allison, WR, Green Bay PackersRostered: Yahoo: 12%, ESPN: 9.2%Geronimo Allison is only the third wide receiver on Green Bay, but he finished Sunday night’s game with five catches for 69 yards and a touchdown on eight targets. Those eight targets tied with the Packer’s No. 1 receiver Davante Adams. Allison was the deep threat on the team — an aDOT of 14.1 per Next Gen Stats — and looks to have a clear lock on that role. He might be a high variance play some weeks, but if you’re going to go that route, it’s not bad to have Aaron Rodgers as the guy who controls it on a team that likes to throw the ball.Keep an eye on:These three rookies are worth keeping an eye on for development over the next week or so.Dante Pettis became San Francisco’s go-to receiver after Marquise Goodwin got hurt — 2/61/1 line of five targets. If Goodwin has to miss any time, Pettis could make an instant impact in that offense.Nyheim Hines had offseason buzz, but his preseason workload and fumbles scared many. In the Colts’ first game he only rushed five times for 19 yards, but caught seven passes for 33 yards on nine targets. Fellow rookie Jordan Wilkins still led the Colts in touches, but if Marlon Mack continues to be out, Hines could become a PPR play with upside in an offense that looks like it’s going to feature a heavy dose of short passes and screens.Ian Thomas should be the man in line to take over for Greg Olsen with the Panthers’ top tight end out with an apparently serious knee injury. Thomas only had two receptions for four yards in Week 1, but with time to prepare as the starter, he could be a useful weapon in a passing game that still appears to lack many of those. At the combine, Thomas tested as the top SPARQ athlete in the tight end group and compared favorable to the crazy 2017 class.New York Giants projected to receive a fourth-round comp pick The New York Giants had an incredibly active offseason as new general manager Dave Gettleman worked furiously to remake the roster in his image. Gettleman let a number of free agents leave http://www.giantscheapshops.com/cheap-authentic-nate-solder-jersey , but balanced that by signing plenty to replace them. So it has largely been assumed that despite losing some high-profile players, the Giants would be without a compensatory pick in the 2019 draft.While Justin Pugh, Weston Richburg, D.J. Fluker, Devon Kennard, and Orleans Darkwa were out, Nate Solder, Patrick Omameh, Cody Latimer, Kareem Martin, and Jonathan Stewart were in. Not to mention a bevy of smaller departures and signings — right up until the start of the regular season. But after the free agency dust finally settled, Salary cap tracking website OverTheCap is projecting that the Giants could be awarded a fourth-round compensatory pick for the loss of guard Justin Pugh. Draft selections are the lifeblood of any franchise which wants to have long-term success, and even a fourth round pick is a valuable resource. As it stands now, the Giants will already be without their third-round pick, which they used on cornerback Sam Beal in the supplemental draft this summer.The draft is always unpredictable, and talented players who are graded to be day 2 picks routinely slide to the beginning of the fourth round. As it stands now, and will remain for the rest of 2018, the Giants’ depth is largely made up of journeyman veterans added during the frantic roster turnover that defined the 2018 off-season. Adding a player from that round, who could have the upside to be a major contributor on a low-cost deal for four years, would be a good upgrade for a team with such questionable depth. Nobody wants to hope for another team to have injuries, so perhaps we should all become Chargers fans and hope that they win by enough that Geno Smith is brought in for enough mop-up duty to help secure the pick that (might) be awarded for Pugh.
