Four of our five waiver wire adds from last week scored a touchdown last week, so we won’t duplicate our top waiver wire players from last week. If those players are once again available on the waiver wire, then go for it. Click here for more information on why those players are quality additions again.
Without many players left on the waiver wire and the playoffs upon us, here’s a few options to consider this week when filling out your roster.
Austin Seferian-Jenkins, Tight End, Tampa Bay Buccaneers
We’ve been waiting for Seferian-Jenkins to return and we couldn’t have picked a better time to add him to our fantasy football team.
Seferian-Jenkins returned last week and hauled in three catches on six targets. This week, he squares off against the hapless New Orleans defense, which allowed more than 100 yards receiving by Carolina tight end Greg Olsen last week.
Seferian-Jenkins totaled the second-most targets last week for Tampa Bay. Against the Saints, he shouldn’t have any problems getting open. If your team has a void at the tight end position, or if your tight end has a bad matchup, Seferian-Jenkins should be available on the waiver wire and will likely see several opportunities at garnering points.
Tyrod Taylor, Quarterback, Buffalo Bills
We didn’t jump on quarterback this year in our fantasy football draft because of the equality among signal callers. Taylor is one of those quarterbacks that if he has a quality matchup, he can produce plenty of points.
Last week was the second consecutive game that Taylor has reached more than 25 fantasy points. He did it behind a strong showing of touchdown passes, which should bode well this week against Philadelphia.
The Eagles have allowed the second-most passing touchdowns in the NFL this season, which should play right into Taylor’s hands. He has seven total touchdowns in the previous two games, and we don’t see that stopping this week against the Eagles.
Dorial Green-Beckham, Wide Receiver, Tennessee Titans
It’s becoming increasingly apparent that Marcus Mariota is seeking out Green-Beckham more. Green-Beckham turned in his best performance last week with 119 yards receiving and one touchdown. He caught five balls on six targets, giving him 14 receptions in the past five games.
That’s a major step forward for Green-Beckham, who was invincible during the early part of this season. Mariota and the Titans’ offense has improved steadily this season, and with Kendall Wright back in Tennessee’s offense, Green-Beckham will likely draw less attention.
We like Mariota’s development, and with more weapons at his disposal, his receivers should put up better fantasy numbers.
