To be clear, the intent of this end-of-the-week waiver wire report is to help you if you’re in a bye week/injury jam.  If you’re in any sort of competitive league the likes Brandon Oliver, Andre Williams and Ronnie Hillman are long gone (and if they aren’t than stop reading and go scoop them up!).  Here are some guys that are worth rolling the dice on for your flex spot:

Storm Johnson, RB, Jacksonville (14%Y!) –

Button down the hatches, the Storm is coming!  Okay, just needed to get the cheesy name reference out-of-the-way.  Unbelievably, the big, white, slow oafy running back experiment has failed in Jacksonville.  It might be time to shitcan that “cutting edge” analytics department Shad, just saying.  While Toby Gerhart sits this week to chisel the concrete off his feet, rookie Storm Johnson is poised to handle a bulk of the carries against a Tennessee Titans defense that just got gashed to the tune 176 yards by Cleveland.  Johnson is no Ben Tate, but 70ish all-purpose yards, a few catches and a TD are within reach.

Mohammed Sanu, WR, Cincinnati Bengals (56%Y!) –

This recommendation is quite simple, see if you can find the pattern: AJ Green (Out), Marvin Jones (Out), Tyler Eifert (Out).  Sanu becomes the de facto #1 receiver for the Red-Rifle.  I fully expect Hue Jackson to kick it old school and run the snot out of Gio Bernard and Jeremy Hill (50%Y! – I’d recommend him but I’m a little biased as I’m firing him up in a few leagues this week), but Sanu should see enough targets to be useful.

I’d start him over the likes of Brian Quick, Terrance Williams, Eddie Royal and Markus Wheaton.

Owen Daniels, TE, Baltimore Ravens (55%Y!) –

Since Pitta went down earlier this year, Daniels (a Gary Kubiak import) has developed a nice rapport with Joe Flacco.  I think Daniels finishes this week as a Top 12 TE.  For those dealing with a dreaded bye week (Graham, Kelce), stream Daniels with confidence.

A Top-12 TE or Your Accountant?

Everyone loves a good Stash –

I’m not suggesting you start any of the guys I’m about to list, but if you’ve got a  roster spot to burn here are some deep sleeping lottery ticket players (ie, the next ‘Brandon Oliver) to consider stashing:

Ladarius Green, TE, San Diego Chargers (30%)

Cody Latimer, WR, Denver Broncos (2%)

Antone Smith, RB, Atlanta Falcons (25%)

Benny Cunningham, RB, St. Louis Rams (3%)

Andre Holmes, WR, Oakland Raiders (3%)

Johnny Manziel, QB, Cleveland Browns (15%)

This guy!
