Fantasy football is always full of surprises as teams adapt to injuries, byes, and trades. Every week offers a new batch of intriguing players who could become valuable additions to your roster.
Some of these options might not seem like obvious pickups right now, but the changing NFL landscape means things can shift quickly. Staying proactive on waivers could make all the difference in your playoff push this season.

Isaiah Davis, New York Jets
Rostered: 12%
It makes sense as to why Isaiah Davis wasn’t a more popular waiver wire pickup last week. Sure, he had 109 yards on 12 touches, scoring 17.9 fantasy points. But the New York Jets were headed into their bye. Fantasy managers are not apt to add fringe players who cannot benefit them immediately.
Well, the Jets are now out of their bye. Davis can help you this week if you need a desperation flex play.
There’s also the matter of a Breece Hall trade, which is fascinating from the perspective of this waiver wire column.
You are probably reading this before the NFL trade deadline passes. But waiver wire claims are finalized Tuesday night, which will be after the deadline. We will know if Hall was traded (spoiler alert: he won’t be).
Obviously, if Hall does get moved, that makes Davis the single highest priority add of the week. If not, he is still worth picking up as a guy with some standalone value and RB2 upside if Hall were to get hurt.
Aggressiveness Rating: 4.0
Terrell Jennings, New England Patriots
Rostered: 1%
Did you expect anything else from Mike Vrabel? TreVeyon Henderson started and played well, but Vrabel can’t help himself. Terrell Jennings has to be involved.
Jennings carried the ball 11 times and caught one pass. He was inefficient on his touches, but he was also the goal line back. But the main reason he’s worth adding is because he is the handcuff to Henderson. If the speedy rookie were to miss time, Jennings would be the lead back.
It’s unclear how much time Rhamondre Stevenson will miss. The instant he returns, Jennings can be dropped. However, unless we receive positive news on the veteran by the time waivers are due, Jennings is worth adding.
Aggressiveness Rating: 3.5
Tyjae Spears, Tennessee Titans
Rostered: 45%
Tyjae Spears hasn’t exactly lit the world on fire since returning. But he’s putting up somewhat useful numbers every single week.
Spears has now hit 9.0 fantasy points in three of his last four games. Given all the injuries and players on bye, there are plenty of fantasy teams out there that would sign for those numbers.
The Tennessee Titans are on bye next week. So, Spears isn’t as much of a priority as he would otherwise be. But he’s been playing just as much as Tony Pollard, if not more in some games. Spears has a standalone RB3 value, and if Pollard missed time, he’d be a volume-based mid RB2.
Aggressiveness Rating: 5.0
Devin Singletary, New York Giants
Rostered: 5%
With no Cam Skattebo, Tyrone Tracy Jr. led the New York Giants’ backfield, with Devin Singletary backing him up. Singletary is not startable for now. Although he notably handled eight carries and saw two targets in a game, the Giants were never really in.
Singletary ran well, totaling 43 yards on the ground. He’s obviously not the most gifted back, but he’s been a weekly fantasy starter before. He is the handcuff to Tracy. If you have an available spot, you can do worse than putting Singletary in it.
