CBS Sports • • sports
Key Points:
- Week 1 of the NFL season revealed key injuries to players like Seattle QB Sam Darnold and WR A.J. Brown, creating opportunities for Fantasy football roster adjustments via the waiver wire.
- Fantasy expert Josh Nagel recommends targeting Saints receiver Devaughn Vele, who showed strong Week 1 performance and consistent production late last season, suggesting a FAAB bid up to 10 or priority waiver claim.
- Nagel also highlights Cowboys running back Emari Demercado as a valuable waiver target due to increased opportunity following a teammate’s season-ending injury.
- Additional waiver wire recommendations, including an overlooked receiver considered a potential steal, are available exclusively through SportsLine’s full analysis.
- Fantasy players are advised to carefully allocate their Free Agency Acquisition Budget (FAAB) or waiver priority to strengthen their lineups or block rivals ahead of Week 2.
