Week 2 waiver wire adds

TommyLocks, Nov 10, 3 min read

I did leave out a few names solely because they aren’t available in my higher level league. However, if Jonah Coleman and or R. Bateman are somehow available in your league make sure to grab them asap.

Mentioned in week 1 that if still available are must adds even if you need to stash them:

1: B. Young

2: T. Sough

3: SF D/ST

I still feel confident in Mike Gesickis upcoming matchups even after a dud in week 2. However, if you didn’t grab him and still need a TE there’s a must grab that will be pretty popular.

Must adds outside of last weeks list:

1: I’m buying Boston stock. Back to back weeks with a TD with an offense and QB that at times look like they don’t belong in the NFL. IMO Boston is gonna be even more valuable when Sanders takes over as QB1. Even now, Boston seems to have emerged as the WR1 in CLE through 2 weeks and it NEVER hurts to stash a number 1 receiving option early in the year.

2: Tre Tucker - similar situation with Tucker here. Seems to have emerged as the early season WR1 for the Raiders. The only difference is… Cousins, a proven competent veteran QB that has had elite passing seasons in the nfl. It’s Cousins last shot in the nfl imo and I think he’s gonna sling it and leave it all out there. Tucker had 5 TDs last season and popped from some huge games. I think Tucker is a great matchup flex option to play when the sheets point out he’s in a good spot.

3: These two are depending on injuries, but I Coleman and Bigsby could have increased roles heading into next week with the starter for both positions questionable heading into week 3.

4: D. Shultz / D. Waller - I’m only listing these two at number 4 because I believe Shultz had a monster game because of the matchup as CIN allowed the most production to TEs last season in the NFL. However, with Nico set to miss another game I do think Shultz is a good starter if you need one at TE in week 3. I just can’t get really high on a guy when I still don’t fully believe in the guy throwing him the football. I like Waller more for a full season upside as he continues to be a TD and 2TD machine! Waller had 6 TDs in 9 games last season with an awful MIA squad. He had a TD called back in week 1 this season and just produced another 2TD game in week 2 (had two of those 2TD games last season) with Young in a breakout season I like Waller to continue to get red zone targets and be a TD upside kinda play. Stash him if anything.

5: K. Cousins - you like that? The only reason I have Kirk at 5 is because I believe young and shough are still available and should be added before Cousins. However, if those guys aren’t available for you and you need a QB, GRAB KIRK. He’s shown he has a lot of heart and is an extremely competitive person. Like I mentioned when discussing Tucker’s upside, Cousins is in his final ride/opportunity in a pretty fun/interesting nfl career. He’s on a team with zero expectations outside of they are gonna suck. Fast forward to heading into week 3 they are 2-0. Jeanty will continue to be the focus of this offense on the ground, but I believe Cousins can drop 15+ points a week and 20+ on good QB matchups. Add him especially if you need that QB spot.

Is CIN defense fixed…. I doubt it… but…. Dex looks like a monster down low…. Something to keep an eye on.
