With the 49ers heading right into their bye full week, he is actually still worth a proactive add. It is actually unclear if Mason is going to skip additional opportunity or even if Christian McCaffrey are going to absolutely come back right away observing the bye. Given San Francisco's No. 2 position in complete yards per activity, Guerendo could be a beneficial store-- and also even more if he is actually created the starter versus the Tampa florida Gulf Buccaneers in Week 10. Trey Benson, Arizona Cardinals (16.5%): Benson supports James Conner, who has actually been impressive along with 19-plus contacts in six out of eight activities. Benson's worth depends upon Conner's health-- and also given that Conner has actually never ever participated in a complete regular season, there's a good opportunity Benson could wind up discussing the amount of work along with Emari Demercado just before the time is actually over.Ray Davis, Buffalo grass Bills (16.8%): Davis had six rushing attempts against the Seahawks in Week 8, while starter James Cook scored twenty contacts and 28.3 fantasy factors.

Like a number of our waiver wire suggestions, Corum's fantasy worth depends upon the wellness of the man facing him on the intensity chart. Stock Corum on your bench for when he is actually inquired to substitute Williams' production (14-plus dream scores in every game, along with three video games of over 20 points). Upcoming WR upplay0:43 Why Cedric Tillman is actually a must-add for dream managersEric Karabell details why dream managers need to have to nab Browns WR Cedric Tillman if they can.Cedric Tillman, Cleveland Browns (16.0%): The second-year receiver is actually creating waves, with nine-plus aim ats and 18-plus imagination imagination aspects in successive activities. This uptick coincides with the Browns having actually traded away Amari Cooper. Cleveland's outburst is actually trending upward along with Winston now under center, creating Tillman a recipient to think about if you require help. Consider that the Browns deal with among the toughest WR schedules for the remainder of the period. Still, the target volume must continue to be strong for Tillman, so do not disregard him as a useful add-on. If you lose out on Tillman, fellow Browns WR Jerry Jeudy (49.9%) is actually a sound fallback option.Other WR optionsJosh Downs, Indianapolis Colts (48.6%): Downs' lineup amount has actually taken a dip in current full weeks, yet it's set to soar once more. He recorded 4 away from 9 targets for 109 obtaining yards and also a touchdown in Full week 8 versus the Houston Texans. This functionality is actually specifically significant offered Anthony Richardson's struggles as a passer. Richardson finished with an unfortunate 31.3% finalization rate versus Houston, the worst by any type of Colts quarterback given that Jeff George in 1990. The Colts' obtaining corps focuses on Downs, Michael Pittman Jr. and also Alec Pierce. Nevertheless, with Richardson under facility, their development has a tendency to become be "boom or seizure." Downs continues to be a premium flex option against the Vikings in Week 9. Editor's Picks1 RelatedJalen McMillan, Tampa Florida Bay Buccaneers (41.7%): Along With Chris Godwin as well as Mike Evans out, McMillan took on a bigger job in Week 8, finding seven aim ats however scoring simply 9.2 imagination points. He and Cook Mayfield had some communication problems, causing a missed out on hookup on what can possess been actually a lengthy touchdown. McMillan is actually nevertheless a flex alternative in much deeper games heading into Full week 9 against the Kansas Area Chiefs.Xavier Legette, Carolina Panthers (24.0%): Legette had a strong video game against the Broncos in Week 8, uploading 13.4 dream factors due to a TD successfully pass from Bryce Young. Along with Diontae Johnson apparently attracting business rate of interest, Legette's fantasy value might increase if Johnson is actually moved. He deserves a roster spot as well as is actually most ideal utilized as a flex possibility in deeper organizations, even as some occasional gaps in concentration remain a concern.Ricky Pearsall, San Francisco 49ers (22.4%): Pearsall concluded Week 8 along with just 4 targets as well as 11.7 dream points against the Dallas Cowboys. Interestingly, he possessed much more hurrying lawns (39) than getting yards (38) in the contest. He is actually a strong include much deeper games, however keep in mind he'll likely rest a minimum of No. 4 in the target chain of command behind Deebo Samuel Sr., George Kittle and also Jauan Jennings.Next TE upplay0:38 Just how Cade Otton suits the bill for dream supervisors looking for a TEMatt Bowen reveals why Cade Otton is a "reliable" disclaimer cable add-on for fantasy managers.Cade Otton, Tampa fl Bay Buccaneers (58.6%): I'm cracking among my very own regulations listed here considering that Otton is rostered in over 50% of organizations, but if he is actually in some way available in yours, you must incorporate him promptly. Along with Godwin out for the time and Evans sidelined till after Week 11, Otton is presently improving in a large method. Otton's 17 celebrations over the final pair of games are actually the absolute most by a Tampa fl Bay limited end in any sort of regular-season two-game stretch in franchise past history. Otton has actually balanced over 18.0 dream objectives in those activities. He's a must-start limited end moving forward, particularly with the Buccaneers' beneficial timetable for the posture for the rest of the season.One more TE optionMike Gesicki, Cincinnati Bengals (10.4%): Gesicki boosted in Full week 8 against the Eagles, do with eight aims for as well as slashing 12.3 imagination points in a video game where WR Tee Higgins was actually eliminated due to a quad accident. Gesicki led the Bengals' TE team in both breaks and transmits operate. Back in Week 2 against the Chiefs, he completed with nine aims for and also 16.1 dream aspects when Higgins was actually sidelined due a hamstring issue. Watch on Higgins' status moved in to Full week 9 versus the Sin City Raiders. If he's certainly not at one hundred%, you know what to anticipate from Gesicki.
