The Dynamic Nature of Fantasy Football Rosters

Your fantasy roster should adapt constantly—there’s always room for improvement. This article is here to spotlight potential upgrades worth considering.

Must-Add Players

1. Caleb Williams, Chicago Bears - 37.0% Rostered Caleb Williams has been on fire since the new offensive coordinator took over, averaging 23.1 points per game (PPG) over the last three weeks, even in tough divisional matchups. His increased volume and consistent performance suggest he could be a game-changer during the fantasy playoffs.

2. Jordan Mason, San Francisco 49ers - 41.7% Rostered Following a knee injury to Christian McCaffrey, Mason’s potential to secure a starting role makes him a must-add. His early-season performance showcased his ability to accumulate points, making him an ideal roster addition.

Solid Quarterback Options

- Tua Tagovailoa, Miami Dolphins - 61.9% Rostered Still riding a wave of strong performances, Tagovailoa continues to be a high-scoring QB. With the Dolphins’ offense flourishing, he’s poised to deliver significant points down the stretch.

- Anthony Richardson, Indianapolis Colts - 57.0% Rostered Following an inconsistent stint, Richardson appears to be regaining his form as a dual-threat quarterback. Though he faces a tough matchup post-bye, the potential for big plays makes him a worthy consideration.

Running Back Gems

- Isaac Guerendo, San Francisco 49ers - 1.3% Rostered Now that both McCaffrey and Mason are headed to IR, Guerendo steps into the spotlight as the probable starter. If the 49ers commit to the run, he could find himself with RB2 value thanks to a focus on volume.

- Gus Edwards, Los Angeles Chargers - 52.6% Rostered With J.K. Dobbins sidelined, Edwards has the chance to showcase his potential as a reliable RB3 option, especially against high-scoring opponents.

Wide Receiver Insights

- Christian Watson, Green Bay Packers - 58.7% Rostered Watson has been a boom-or-bust option, but with potential injury roadblocks, he’s consistently stepping up to deliver impressive scores.

- Devaughn Vele, Denver Broncos - 5.8% Rostered Recently thrust into a pivotal role in the Broncos’ offense, Vele’s climb in target volume makes him a savvy add, particularly with Denver’s favorable playoff schedule.

Tight Ends Worth Targeting

- Jonnu Smith, Miami Dolphins - 69.2% Rostered Averaging 20.2 half-PPR points per game over the last three weeks, he has become a central part of the Dolphins’ passing attack and is essential for any fantasy play.

Defensive and Kicker Streamers for Success

- Philadelphia Eagles Defense - 59.9% Rostered They are primed for a favorable matchup, which could lead to significant scoring potential for your fantasy team.

- Tyler Bass, Buffalo Bills - 44.0% Rostered With a booming leg and scoring opportunities in a potent offense, Bass remains an excellent streaming option.
