Providing a list of low-ADP waiver wire guys who to this point in the 2026 offseason either (a) are getting good camp hype/consistent drumbeats, (b) look like they could become relevant this season due to situation, or (c) both. Not my job, I do this for fun, so even if you disagree with these, hopefully it can still be sort of a cheat sheet to help sift through your waivers. Feel free to debate in the comments and let me know what you think. I didn’t use AI for any of this before the comments roll in. Typed every word myself in my phone note. Took me about 2-3 hours to spill everything in my head. Alphabetical order of “my waiver buys” by last name: WR Cyrus Allen (23.3yo - KC - rookie tied to Mahomes? IN): Nasty route runner. Getting hyped offseason/camp reviews. Real chance to contribute at some point this year if he’s as NFL-ready as the Chiefs beat/media is making him sound during Puffpiece Season. RB LeQuint Allen (21.8yo - JAX - probably not on waivers, but maybe): The Jags’ 3rd RB, but also happens to be their 3rd DOWN & 2-MINUTE DRILL RB. Gets pass-blocking snaps because he’s really good at it, and we know many receptions come out of the backfield on that down. ACC college producer at Syracuse. WR Malik Benson (23.6yo - LV - someone not named Brock Bowers has to catch passes for LV): I knew nothing about this guy until I kept seeing the Raiders beat just RAVING about him. This guy is getting MASSIVE offseason camp hype so far. Definitely worth mentioning because outside of Bowers, their only other proven capable pass-catchers are Mayer, Tucker, and Nailor. Plenty of room for another WR to step up to the plate, and we know Thornton (last year’s offseason darling) & Bech both flopped as rookies and have been getting muted reviews so far in OTAs. WR Isaiah Bond (22.2yo - CLE - post-hype breakout?): Did someone in drop him after last season? Understandable. Many mouths to feed in Cleveland now, but evidently Bond was fed the most during the offseason program. Potential to take a real-life year 2 leap while the rest of the FF community concentrates on Concepcion, Boston, and Fannin. WR Lewis Bond (23.0yo - HOU - a QB’s safety blanket - and we know Stroud needs one): I think I remember reading that Lewis Bond has the best DEceleration in the class, meaning he can stop on a dime and lose defenders in a hurry. He has a knack for finding the soft spot in zones and sitting down (absolutely needed in today’s NFL where most defense is zone) to catch chain-movers. If he makes the team, my prediction is that Bond’s crisp route-running will help him to become a guy that Stroud relies on heavily by season’s end. RB Chris Brooks (26.4yo - GB - opportunity knocks?): Potential GB Packers RB1 if Jacobs suspended (battling Lloyd/Martinez); great pass-blocker with 3-down skillset and the trust of the coaching staff. RB Tahj Brooks (24.1yo - CIN - Bengals RB2?): Chase Brown has had good injury luck so far, but Cincy would be wise to spell him a bit more this season. Although Brooks wasn’t able to beat him out for RB2 last season, Perine HAS to stop at some point (you’d think?). Brooks was a solid college producer who’s evidently been working heavily on his pass-catching this offseason (on Chase Brown’s advice) to try to make himself available on all 3 downs. Could be a dynasty steal in that high-powered offense if things fall in his favor, but he was a little concerning from an efficiency standpoint last season on the touches he actually got. This i…
