Fantasy Football Weekend Waiver Wire Stashes: Week 2

Jahan Dotson (WAS)
Listed: 40%

Here, double the Washington players with a player who doubled on touchdowns in Week 1. Dotson wasn’t seen in the same light as some Round 1 rookies this offseason, but he showed in Week 1 why the Commanders liked him. Washington kept him on the field for 88% of the snaps. Any player with a role that is almost all down may be worth keeping an eye on in fantasy. If Dotson has a big Week 2 against the Lions, he’ll be expensive in the waiver if you don’t get to him first.

Robbie Anderson (Car)
Listed: 34%

After Sunday’s loss to the Panthers, head coach Matt Rhule was quoted as saying he made a philosophical shift over the summer and wanted the Panthers to be more passing-heavy going forward. Even so, only three Panthers wide receivers ran a route on Baker Mayfield’s dropbacks. Shi Smith acted firmly outside the slot and DJ Moore acted number one. Anderson is the clear deep threat on offense. Despite the offseason tales surrounding Robbie Anderson not wanting to play with Mayfield, they seem to have a good connection.

Jarvis Landry (NO)
Listed: 54%

Michael Thomas made the highlights with his late two touchdowns against the Falcons, but Jarvis Landry was the more consistent player that day. Landry accumulated 3.6 yards per route, which was ninth best among receivers who ran 10 or more routes. This helped him to an 18.40 point game in PPR. If Jameis Winston keeps Landry as his safety net, then Landry may be the perfect WR3/Flex play on your team as we near the start of bye weeks.

Other stash candidates: Sterling Shepard, Donovan Peoples-Jones, Parris Campbell, Treylon Burks, Kyle Phillips

With Kenny Golladay further cementing his dust status, Kadarius Toney injured in the kennel and Wan’Dale Robinson, Sterling Shepherd could be the Giants’ lead receiver. He ran a route on 90.4% of the Giants’ pass attempts with a 19.0% goal percentage. … Donovan Peoples Jones led the Browns in every reception category imaginable. He was first in routes, goals (11, 32.2% goal share) and receiving yards. The weekly cap is only this high with Jacoby Brissett as quarterback. The extra target volume this week was also the result of Amari Cooper receiving tough assignments. … Paris Campbell ran a route on 78% of Matt Ryan’s overtake attempts. With an upcoming schedule (JAC, KC, TEN) of beneficial slot matchups or high-total games, Campbell is worth kicking the hoops despite his 8.0% target share. … Kyle Phillips and Treylon Burks Do the stash position of this week’s article. Neither player (Philips 63.6%, Burks 39.3%) completed 70% of the routes on Ryan Tannehill’s pass attempts in Week 1. Those usage rates need to go up, but this offense calls out for a wide receiver to step forward, and each of these talented rookies has the advantage to do so.
