Finding the best guys to fit into your lineup is not always the easiest task when dealing with bye weeks or injuries. Each week we drop three emergency starts that you can fill into your fantasy lineup and avoid a “bust” performance. All the players mentioned are available in 70% or more of Fantasy leagues. Below are three players that can help you win your week in fantasy that are on waivers right now.
Reminder we are answering everyone’s start and sit questions on X
Aaron Rodgers QB (NYJ)
Aaron Rodgers had his first 300-yard day in three years last week against the Dolphins who have been one of the better pass defenses in the NFL this season. He is not the same player he once was but with the ground game struggling all season, the volume is there for Rodgers to continue to produce. Since Week 7, Rodgers has two QB1 performances while ranking 13th in the NFL in passing touchdowns. Rodgers makes this list due to his elite matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars. The Jaguars have allowed the most passing yards and second most fantasy points to quarterbacks this season. Rodgers has streaming value for teams desperate for a 20-point performance at quarterback.
Sincere McCormick RB (LV)
Sincere McCormick was expected to take on a larger role after his strong performance against the Chiefs last week, and he followed that up with 15 carries for 78 yards and 2 catches for 11 yards on 3 targets against the Bucs. With two straight games over 60 rushing yards and 5 yards per carry, McCormick looks set to be the lead back for the remainder of the season. He’s posted impressive per-touch metrics, including a 9.4% explosive run rate and 2.84 yards after contact per attempt. This week is more favorable than the season fantasy points allowed suggest with the Falcons allowing the 5th highest yards after contact this season.
Elijah Moore (CLE)
The forecast for rain in Cleveland favors Elijah Moore over other Browns receivers, as his shorter ADot suits a high-volume passing game against the Chiefs’ top-ranked run defense. Although Moore ranks as the WR43 in fantasy points per game since Week 8, he’s had three top 24 finishes in weekly scoring. He has a 19.2% target share over the past six games and is currently the number two option with Cedric Tillman out again. Since Week 9, the Chiefs have allowed the most receiving yards and ninth-most PPR points to slot WRs, making Moore a solid flex play despite the conditions in Cleveland.
