Fantasy Waiver Wire WR Targets Week 1: Top Players To Add Include Dontayvion Wicks and Adonai Mitchell

Fantasy drafts have wrapped up, which means the best way for fantasy managers to improve their roster is by making trades or adding players via the waiver wire.

Who are some wide receivers you should target on your league’s waiver wire? Here are three names worth considering.

Which WRs To Target on This Week’s Waiver Wire

Dontayvion Wicks, WR, Green Bay Packers (31%)

The most likely scenario is which Packer(s) are startable changes week-to-week and is entirely unpredictable. But it’s football. What if Dontayvion Wicks is too good to deny? What if Christian Watson, Romeo Doubs, or Jayden Reed gets hurt, consolidating this WR corps?

There are multiple paths to Wicks going from waiver wire fodder to every week WR3. Right now, there is a lot we don’t know. Use that to your advantage and stash Wicks ahead of time.

Adonai Mitchell, WR, Indianapolis Colts (27%)

I have gone on record saying I don’t think Adonai Mitchell is a particularly good prospect. I have little hope for him succeeding at a high level. But I’ve been wrong before. For 73% of you, the cost to gamble is literally nothing.

With Josh Downs dealing with a high ankle sprain, Mitchell projects to start opposite Michael Pittman Jr. in two-receiver sets.

What if he’s better than I thought? Throw Mitchell on your bench and see what happens.

Jalen McMillan, WR, Tampa Bay Buccaneers (5%)

This is for you deep-leaguers. Trey Palmer is not a bad player. Yet, Jalen McMillan was able to win the WR3 job as a rookie. That says something about his talent profile.

McMillan certainly isn’t likely to be a fantasy factor playing behind Mike Evans and Chris Godwin. However, what if one of them gets hurt? What if McMillan makes a huge play in Week 1?

It’s very easy to see the path to McMillan being a coveted waiver wire pickup. Bet on talent here.
