Waivers of the Future: Week 7 - Footballguys

Daniel Simpkins's Waivers of the Future: Week 7 - Footballguys Daniel Simpkins Published 10/16/2018

Player value in dynasty football reminds me of watching ocean waves. They ebb and flow, always in a state of flux. Competitive dynasty players anticipate these movements before they happen and act by picking up, buying, or selling players as the situation demands. Dynasty general managers have previously been at the mercy of regular waiver segments to assist in dynasty pickups, but these fail to account for the long-term view necessary to dynasty success. This weekly column will focus on identifying assets that will help dynasty teams build for the future, as well as players that may plug a hole at a position of need on an otherwise strong squad.

Welcome to the Week 7 edition of Waivers of the Future! Once again, there are only a few new pickups created by injury situations. We'll have to keep churning through the back ends of our rosters and pick up guys who could have a bigger role down the stretch.

IN THE SKY

Players on this list have previously appeared in this article as pickups, but have had value spikes at points in the season that make them unlikely to be out there in your league. If they are still available and you need help contending, consider spending 30-50%+ of your budget on them.

Here are other players that have been featured in this article that are likely to be owned, but are worth only a smaller percentage of your budget.
