The Running List of Past Recommendations
I'll update this throughout the season so you have a wealth of considerations beyond my weekly recommendations. I change their standing as developments occur.
Scroll down for new additions to this list.
Add Nows
Most of these players will not be available, but you'll get a sense of who has been recommended and who to snap up if they become available.
Preemptive
These players may not give you production this weekend, but they are worth considering because there's potential for them to deliver due to injuries or personnel changes.
Preemptive/Monitor
You can probably wait until a compelling event creates a potential need for these players.
- Andrei Iosivas
- Allen Lazard
- Audric Estime
- Bub Means
- Tyler Goodson
- Tre Tucker
- Xavier Hutchinson
- Cordarrelle Patterson
- Brenton Strange
- Dalvin Cook
- Trey Palmer
- Sterling Shepard
Monitor
These players have the talent to contribute to your lineup immediately if elevated to a starting role. If you can't find any talent with playing opportunities to have at the end of your roster, it's worth adding 1-2 of these options in case injury strikes, and you can beat the demand on the waiver wire.
Forget (For Now...)
They have too many players ahead of them on their depth charts to earn an impact anytime soon. Or, they suffered an injury.
Add Now: WR Demarcus Robinson, LA Rams
The Skinny on Robinson: We learned this weekend that Robinson gets his best matchups when opponents must contend with at least one of Puka Nacua and Cooper Kupp. With both on the field, Matthew Stafford found Robinson for two scores on two targets. This was what we saw down the stretch last year.
Recommendation: Robinson gives you a solid chance at big plays when the Rams' primary weapons are healthy enough to distract opposing defenses.
