Fantasy football waiver wire: Week 1 free-agent forecast

We’re finally back. Check out the top waiver wire targets for fantasy football in Week 1.

We’re finally back. After a long offseason, football returns to our lives this week. The next six months will be full of stress, tilting and incredible amounts of research that hopefully lead to a fantasy football championship.

With drafts coming to an end this week, one of the most vital tools in the belt of a fantasy manager is the waiver wire. We acknowledge that some drafts are still going on leading up to Thursday night’s opener so the waiver wire may not be open for everyone yet. But it’s still wise to keep an eye on the waiver wire when those drafts conclude.

We’ll be taking a look at the top available players rostered in Yahoo leagues, using the 75% rostered mark as the threshold. If you have any questions about prioritizing a certain player over another, don’t be afraid to hit me up on X, formerly Twitter, (@KevinHickey11). Your questions and comments are always welcome!

We also will be taking a look at some deeper players to stash and the top streaming options for the upcoming week.

Fantasy football waiver wire recommendations refer to 12-team league formats, unless specifically stated.

Check back for any updates throughout Monday and Tuesday as more injury news becomes available.
