Drop prospects: Christian Kirk (83% rostered), Deebo Samuel (82%) and Mecole Hardman (64%). Kirk had one catch and no lawns, and he enjoyed DeAndre Hopkins do a lot of operate in Week 1 at San Francisco with 16 targets compared to 5 for Kirk. Samuel is on injured reserve for a minimum of 3 weeks, and you might require the roster spot if you do not have an IR area on your Fantasy lineup. And even though Hardman has substantial upside, hes presently the No. 4 receiver in Kansas City behind Tyreek Hill, Sammy Watkins and even Demarcus Robinson. I dont want to drop these guys, however you may have to in some leagues.
Injuries of note: James Conner (ankle), Miles Sanders (hamstring), LeVeon Bell (hamstring), Marlon Mack (Achilles), Phillip Lindsay (foot), Duke Johnson (ankle) and Justin Jackson (quad).
Examine to see if readily available: James Robinson (69%), Alexander Mattison (68%) and Chase Edmonds (66%).
WAIVER WIRE.
Injuries of note: George Kittle (knee), Blake Jarwin (ACL), David Njoku (knee).
Pass receiver.
Priority list: Benny Snell – 23% rostered; Nyheim Hines – 39% rostered; Malcolm Brown – 40% rostered; Joshua Kelley – 42% rostered; Jerick McKinnon – 57% rostered; Darrel Williams – 53% rostered; Adrian Peterson – 30% rostered; Frank Gore – 10% rostered; Myles Gaskin – 0% rostered; Peyton Barber – 4% rostered; Corey Clement – 2% rostered; Carlos Hyde – 23% rostered; Rex Burkhead – 5% rostered;.
Together with that, Miles Sanders (hamstring), Kenny Golladay (hamstring) and Courtland Sutton (shoulder) were inactive for Week 1 due to lingering injuries. For those of you with several players on your Fantasy roster who were hurt, it was irritating. However now its time to make changes.
The top players to add today will likely be running backs, and the best options, in order for PPR leagues, are Benny Snell, Nyheim Hines, Malcolm Brown and Joshua Kelley. Snell, Hines and Brown have the opportunity to be starters in all leagues for Week 2 and beyond, and Kelley has long-lasting appeal– in addition to flex potential in much deeper leagues immediately.

Waiver Wire: Running Backs
( 3:49).
Injuries were a major problem following Week 1. Its going to make the waiver wire incredibly active heading into Week 2.
The two most significant injuries were to Marlon Mack (Achilles) and Blake Jarwin (ACL), who were lost for the season. We likewise had other popular gamers go down in their video games with James Conner (ankle), LeVeon Bell (hamstring), Phillip Lindsay (foot), Michael Thomas (ankle) and DeVante Parker (hamstring).
Drop candidates: Austin Hooper (82% rostered) and Eric Ebron (44%) Im enthusiastic that Hooper plays better in Week 2 than he performed in Week 1 at Baltimore in his first game with Cleveland when he completed with 2 catches for 15 yards on 2 targets, and possibly Njokus lack will assist. Ebrons launching with Pittsburgh also was peaceful with one catch for 18 yards on two targets at the Giants. Again, you dont have to drop these guys, but they are on the slicing block.
Drop candidates: Carson Wentz (98% rostered), Matthew Stafford (92%) and Baker Mayfield (74%). Wentz will benefit if Lane Johnson (ankle) is healthy, but Wentz was awful in Week 1 at Washington. Stafford will improve if Golladay is healthy, and hopefully hes back for Week 2 at Green Bay. And Mayfield should play well Thursday night versus the Bengals, however he actually needs an excellent video game to show his Fantasy worth right now. None of these guys are should drops, however all are candidates depending upon your roster.
Titans (64%) vs. JAC.
Packers (26%) vs. DET.
Top priority list: Dallas Goedert – 46% rostered; Logan Thomas – 4% rostered; Chris Herndon – 57%; Jimmy Graham – 10% rostered; Greg Olsen – 23% rostered;.
Cardinals (7%) vs. WAS.
Week 2 Waivers.
Injuries of note: Michael Thomas (ankle), Kenny Golladay (hamstring), Courtland Sutton (shoulder), DeVante Parker (hamstring), Brandin Cooks (quad), Golden Tate (hamstring) and Brandon Aiyuk (hamstring).
Well break down all of these guys and more, and well let you understand the amount of your FAB budget to invest in each gamer. You must look to add several of these gamers even if youre not dealing with an injury because reshaping your Fantasy roster is the key to building a champion group..
Editors note: For this waiver wire column, we are only looking at players rostered in less than 65 percent of CBS Sports leagues.
Inspect to see if offered: Jamison Crowder (81%), Sterling Shepard (80%), Preston Williams (80%), John Brown (79%), Darius Slayton (79%) and Sammy Watkins (77%).
Drop candidates: Carson Wentz (98% rostered), Matthew Stafford (92%) and Baker Mayfield (74%). Drop candidates: Jordan Howard (94% rostered), Kerryon Johnson (87%) and Tevin Coleman (80%). Drop prospects: Christian Kirk (83% rostered), Deebo Samuel (82%) and Mecole Hardman (64%). Samuel is on hurt reserve for at least 3 weeks, and you may need the lineup spot if you dont have an IR spot on your Fantasy lineup. Drop prospects: Austin Hooper (82% rostered) and Eric Ebron (44%) Im hopeful that Hooper plays much better in Week 2 than he did in Week 1 at Baltimore in his first video game with Cleveland when he completed with 2 catches for 15 backyards on 2 targets, and possibly Njokus lack will assist.

Running Backs.
More Fantasy.
Drop prospects: Jordan Howard (94% rostered), Kerryon Johnson (87%) and Tevin Coleman (80%). Even though Howard scored in Week 1 at New England, it appears like the Dolphins are using a three-headed backfield. Johnson belongs to a three-headed backfield in Detroit, but hes most likely the odd-man out based upon Week 1. And Im hoping Coleman was limited to simply six snaps in Week 1 versus Arizona since of the air quality due to the wildfires since he has the sickle cell quality, however the existence of McKinnon could be an issue for Coleman, in addition to Mostert. You dont need to drop these guys, but you may consider it.starters in front of them.
Priority list: Mitchell Trubisky – 9% rostered; Gardner Minshew – 49% rostered; Ryan Tannehill – 49% rostered; Kirk Cousins – 48% rostered; Jimmy Garoppolo – 56% rostered; Teddy Bridgewater – 49% rostered.
