This week’s list is similar to week 14’s, but that’s because there wasn’t a ton of movement in the waiver wire last week.
If you’re in a dynasty or keeper league, but are out of contention, I released an episode about end-of-season maintenance on my Fantasy Football Almanac Show. I don’t do many episodes, but this one is designed to help dynasty players cash in on long term candidates. I released this last week when Chase Brown was still widely available. I suppose he still is, but you’ll have competition for him. If you’re interested in listening, this link will take you to it: https://underdogpodcasts.com/category/sports/fantasy-sports/fantasy-football-almanac.

Should Be Gone (available between 15-30% of leagues):
Quarterbacks:

Running Backs:

Tight Ends:
- Trey McBride
Defense/Special Teams:
- Baltimore Ravens

Could Be Available (available between 31-50% of leagues):
Quarterbacks:
- Kyler Murray – he’s more available after the bye week. Snap him up.
Running Backs:

- Isaiah Likely – this will be the last decent shot you’ll have at him
Defense/Special Teams:
- Minnesota Vikings
Sleeper Grabs (available in more than 70% of leagues):
Quarterbacks:
- Jake Browning – he’s balling and he has great weapons
- Joe Flacco – in theory, he should get better as the season winds down
Running Backs:
- Chase Brown
- D’Onta Foreman
- Rico Dowdle
- Chris Rodriguez – Gibson will give some carries to Rodriguez with Brian Robinson Jr. hurt
Wide Receivers:
- Joshua Palmer – he should come off IR soon
- Demario Douglas – we’ll see what happens, but he could be back soon
- Jonathan Mingo – he’s getting a ton of targets, but his admittedly paltry
- Zay Jones
