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.
Quarterbacks
Among the quarterbacks, there are two types of waiver options: those moving up this week and veteran backups.
Moving Up This Week
Joe Burrow reported an aggravation of his calf injury during Week 2, and his status for Week 3 is uncertain. We like Burrow to play in Week 3, but there is a chance this is a longer injury. Browning warrants a small waiver add in the event this injury lingers.
Anthony Richardson suffered a concussion in Week 2, and has entered the concussion protocol. Richardson is questionable for Week 3 and Gardner Minshew would start in the event Richardson misses time. Minshew threw for 171 yards and a touchdown on 23 attempts in Week 2 in relief of Richardson and could be an option for dynasty teams in Superflex leagues. If he was not already rostered, Minshew warrants a small waiver add because the injury does not project to be a long-term absence.
Veteran Backups
As a general rule, you should have a limited amount 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
- Taylor Heinicke, ATL
- Teddy Bridgewater, DET
- Jameis Winston, NO
