Fantasy football waiver wire week 1

This is one of my favorite columns to write every year. It's our final review of the CBS Sports Average Draft Position data but since it's also the start of Week 1, we combine it with our first look at the waiver wire.

Hey, terrific work in those fantasy football drafts, everyone. Your squads are looking solid — well-balanced, plenty of upside. Great job. A triumph of modern drafting principles. Truly impressive stuff. But c'mon, you've been staring at the same rosters for days. Let's blow 'em up!

The percentages of ESPN fantasy players that had each player rostered as of Tuesday are listed in parentheses. A-Rod owners, you might have to start another Packers quarterback this year. Love threw three touchdowns with no picks in his debut, along with 12 rushing yards on three attempts. The Packers face Atlanta and New Orleans in the next two weeks, both teams with suspect secondaries, making Jordan Love a solid streaming option for desperate A-Rod owners. In his disastrous season, Wilson threw more than one touchdown with no picks only once. Him doing so in the first week of this season is a great sign. With the hopeful return of Jerry Jeudy next week, you can expect the Broncos pass game to be opened up a lot more, which means more plays for Russ. Another year, another JK Dobbins injury, which means once again, the hulking Gus Edwards will be fantasy relevant. The Ravens face the Bengals and Colts in the upcoming weeks, both easy defenses, especially for a unique back like Edwards. With each passing day, the McVay coaching staff seems to lose a little more hope in Cam Akers. Akers soaked up a ridiculous 22 carries, and gained an even more ridiculous 29 yards, for an appalling 1. Kyren Williams, however, got fewer opportunities 15 and more yards 52 to go with two touchdowns. So for now, Williams is a worthy stash. In week one, he saw 15 targets from Matt Stafford, converting 10 of them for yards.

Tyjae Spears RB.

Week one of NFL action is complete. Sloppy football, turnovers, and weird scoring dominated most games. As injuries plague both real NFL squads and fantasy football, who are the must-add waiver wire options after NFL week 1? Note: This was written before Monday Night Football, so if a catastrophic injury occurs in the Bills Jets game, adjust accordingly. After reports that J. Dobbins tore his Achilles tendon, Hill is the type of player you spend all of your waiver money on. When Dobbins went down, Hill took the majority of the touches and had a solid day against the Houston Texans.
