FantasyPros +2 RotoBaller +2 With snags at the TE position and mounting upside, he’s exactly the kind of waiver wire add who can quietly deliver. Why he matters: Big frame (6-5), flashed in his first opportunity, and holds a low roster percentage. A great mid-season stash. Jaxson Dart (QB – NYG) The rookie has officially been named starter for the New York Giants and offers both passing and rushing fantasy upside. NFL.com +2 Roto Street Journal +2 In deeper leagues / SuperFlex formats he is one of those “get ahead of the curve” moves. Why he matters: Starting role secured, dual-threat potential, and the chance to catch value before everyone else. 🧠 Quick waiver tips Check your roster now for any bye-week starters and find potential replacements. Prioritize players who are seeing increased snap counts, targets or touches. Don’t wait until Monday – FAAB budgets go fast, and pickups get locked. Consider picking up a high ceiling player even if the floor is low (for your bench).
