Week one waiver-wire board takes center stage as fantasy managers chase early-week movement. The focus is on preemptive claims to avoid scrambling after rosters lock. Leagues with small rosters or tight end requirements push players onto the radar even faster, with owners racing to nab potential weekend-impact contributors before the rest of the league wakes up.

Key targets include Rashee Rice, Sean Tucker, and Drake London as high-upside adds, with Jalen Milroe flagged as a late-round Superflex option and Chase Brown considered for late-round value in 10- and 12-man formats. The discussion underscores the importance of balancing rosters, monitoring bye weeks and injuries, and leveraging auction dynamics to gain leverage on the waiver wire. The message: don’t wait for Week 1 to prove itself—act now, monitor trends, and keep an eye on emerging roles as the season unfolds.

Beyond names, the conversation centers on strategy: draft around byes, cuff handcuffs where appropriate, and treat waiver pickups as a supplement to a strong draft plan. The show emphasizes real-time adjustments across multiple leagues and shares best practices for staying prepared, avoiding overreaction, and maximizing the waiver-wire upside in redraft and dynasty play.
