nixposiDrafts are wrapping up, and now Fantasy managers are starting to focus on setting lineups for Week 1. For those of you who drafted weeks ago, you’re already making moves to tweak your roster.
We’ve got you covered.
Welcome to the waiver wire column. Each week, we’ll go through the players you should be looking to add to your roster, as well as who to drop. We’ll go over injuries, give you FAB suggestions and talk about players ranging from 10-team leagues to the deepest of formats, as well as DST and K streamers.
The draft is only the first part of your journey to a championship. Playing the waiver wire might be the most crucial thing you do all season, so make sure you check this out every week — if you want to win.
For Week 1, this column is going to be a little bit of a different format then what you’ll read during the season. We don’t want you to overhaul your roster just yet, but these are some players you could consider adding if you want to tweak your roster now.
Editor’s note: For this waiver wire column, we are mainly looking at players rostered in less than 65 percent of CBS Sports leagues.
