Let's take a look at this week's waiver wire connections presented by spectrum every week.
Dalton and I share a large medium and small priority player on the waiver wire.
Let's start us off with the small priority players.
Dalton.
You hit me first.
My small priority, Quentin Johnston, the Charters have leaned into the pass over the last month including Sunday when Herbert had 34 drop backs versus 19 RB carries in a game L A was winning 20 to 3 at halftime.
Johnson's route participation was up to 80%.
He was targeted on 30% of his routes.
He's also improved as a route runner from as a rookie but young receivers they frequently go off toward the end of season.
So I say Johnston is worth stashing and he's available in nearly 85% of Yahoo Leagues.
I'll give you two for one.
Xavier legget 27% in Jalen Coker.
13%.
Both these are Panthers wide receivers and I threw Coker in here just because I think he's a, he's a good player, but he only ran on 58.6% of the drop backs.
He's not a full-time player he's not really a true fantasy asset yet, but I just threw him in here.
Mainly.
Leggett is the one that if you got to start a Panthers wide receiver in Fantasy, 27% roster ran around on 93% of the drop backs.
Xavier Leggett is probably the guy that if you want to start a Panthers receiver.
He, he's the one here in week 10.
My medium pickup is Tatom Hill.
his top three fantasy tied end in week eight while recording four catches for 41 yards.
Of course, he also had five carries and a goal line score with Rashid Shaheed out for the season.
And now Chris Olave dealing with yet another concussion Hill's usage should be high moving forward, medium priority pickup, Ricky Pearsall 28% 72.7% of the routes in week eight before the buy, you'd imagine they're gonna wanna get him a little more ramped up coming out of that by week.
He's, you know, still getting it ramped up against man coverage, but he's looked really good against zone, knows where to settle at 28% roster.
He might a guy that you can actually start if you play in multiple like Flex leagues or something like that.
My large priority is Ray Davis got 5.4 yards per carry the last four games secured all six targets and this rookie simply may force the bills to play him more.
Uh But there's also league winning upside.
Should James Cook suffer an injury.
Davis scored 18 fantasy points, saw 23 touches when Cook was inactive in week six, go stash him, man.
I mean, this could be your league winner in the Fantasy playoffs, easily similar outlook for my large priority player.
A guy that you probably can't start, he has six touches and two out of his last three games.
But Tyler Alz again, 39% roster is simply too low.
If you do need a, what the heck, Flex, you can chase a touchdown with Tyler Alz.
He got the touchdown last week even though Bijon Robinson was absolutely bawling out.
Being available in over 60% of Yahoo Leagues is, is ridiculous like he should be on rosters.
All right, this has been the waver wire connections on the Yahoo Fantasy forecast presented by Spectrum.
