Waivers of the future will focus on making decisions that improve our odds of our dynasty championship. The back of your dynasty roster should be flexible, with preferences made for players you can use in your lineup during the season.
Quarterback
Among the quarterbacks, there are two types of waiver options: those moving up this week and veteran backups.
Joe Burrow is out for the season after suffering a wrist injury on Thursday Night Football. He will be replaced by veteran journeyman Jake Browning. With 15 career attempts, you should not expect much from Browning, but the supporting cast is strong, with Ja'Marr Chase, Tyler Boyd, and, when healthy, Tee Higgins. Browning warrants a waiver bid for teams in a desperate state in premium formats after Burrow's injury but can be left on the waiver wire in start 1QB leagues.
Jameis Winston came into week 10 in relief of an injured Derek Carr and put the whole Jameis Winston experience on display. He threw two touchdowns early, then followed them up with two interceptions late in the game. The Saints had a bye, and Derek Carr is still in the concussion protocol. Winston should be rostered in Superflex leagues as a backup but does not warrant immediate addition in 1QB leagues unless a dynasty GM is very desperate at quarterback.
Veteran Backups
As a general rule, you should have a limited number of backup quarterbacks on your monitor list. With roster spots tight, optimized dynasty rosters under 25 spots in Superflex or quarterback premium. If you are in 25 to 35-man rosters and have a roster spot, these quarterbacks are the premium backups:
- Mike White, MIA
- Tyler Huntley, BAL
- Cooper Rush, DAL
- Jacoby Brissett, WAS
- Teddy Bridgewater, DET
