6 fantasy football waiver wire targets in Week 1

Target these players on the waiver wire for Week 1.

RB Sony Michel | New England Patriots | 53.2% rostered

Michel’s production in a committee backfield is still very impressive. In 2019 he finished with 912 rushing yards and seven touchdowns. With Cam Newton under center this season, Michel could see an increase in usage.

After an offseason foot injury, the former Georgia Bulldog has taken the field in training camp and is still expected to be the starter. Damien Harris was put on the injured reserve list Monday, leaving Michel to lead the pack with James White and Rex Burkhead behind him.

It isn’t clear if the Patriots will ease Michel back into the mix but his 247 carries from 2019 could be valuable depth if he’s on the waiver wire.
