6 fantasy football waiver wire targets in Week 1

Target these players on the waiver wire for Week 1.

Against all odds, the 2020 NFL season is finally here. Whether you completed your fantasy football draft two weeks ago or are waiting until right before Thursday night, fantasy football faces its most interesting season to date.

With opt-outs, trades and plenty of rising stars, this is a very talented pool of players to choose from.

If you’re looking for a possible sleeper or even a player to keep your eye on, here are some of the top pickups for the week one waiver wire:

TE Jonnu Smith | Tennessee Titans | 22.9% rostered

With the emergence of Tennessee’s offense last year, a lot of players got a chance in the spotlight. One of those guys was Smith who recorded 35 catches for 439 yards and three touchdowns.

With A.J. Brown as the clear cut No. 1 receiver, Smith has a chance to be Ryan Tannehill’s second option. The tight end position has never been as loaded with talent as it is this year and Smith is definitely a guy to keep your eye on should you face any struggles at the position.

As Delanie Walker moves out of the spotlight in Nashville, Smith’s athleticism is extremely intriguing for those looking for an upside play.

Fantasy Football: 5 tight end sleepers to target for the 2020 season

These guys could be the key to a successful fantasy season.

NFL teams are all at the beginning of their training camp sessions. This is just the start of fantasy football season. Without the benefits of public training camps, joint practices, or preseason games, predicting who will be able to help your team will be even more difficult than normal.

Hopefully, football, and more specifically, the fantasy game, will help take the mind away from all the serious issues that are happening in the world today. And, if you need a little help putting together your roster, maybe this is the place for you.

While using FantasyPros.com rankings from their PPR format, we are able to determine that these five tight ends may be drafted too low. One of these guys could be a great value addition for your fantasy team.

 1. Eric Ebron, Steelers (ADP: 150th overall)

Ebron’s production dropped off in 2019, his final season with Indianapolis. He recorded 31 receptions for 375 yards and three touchdowns. However, the year prior was Ebron’s best season, finishing with 66 receptions for 750 yards and 13 touchdowns.

Now in Pittsburgh, Ebron is being drafted as the 20th tight end in fantasy football. With Ben Roethlisberger healthy, the 26-year-old tight end may be able to jump back up into TE1 production instead of the low TE2 he’s being drafted as.
