Fantasy football 2018: Top 10 waiver wire Week 2 pickups
By Rob Wilson
Primary Add: Chris Godwin – 34% Ownership
While everyone in your league scrambles to add the ageless Desean Jackson, do the right thing. Pivot on the the guy we’ve been frustrated with for years and grab an up and coming receiver with a lot of opportunity. His target share will slowly move up as he integrates into a bigger role, but he’s already making an impact in Tampa Bay.
Reports from camp said that he could potentially dethrone Desean Jackson as the number two on the outside, and if that does end up happening he would have serious value. The Bucs likely won’t make a playoff run this year and they could easily decide to they see what they have in Godwin and Ronald Jones sooner rather than later. He’s worth a small bid simply because not a lot of people are paying attention.
Recommended bid: 8%
Primary Add: Phillip Lindsay – 1.9% Ownership
Although our content is all you really need (kidding, just a shameless plug) – but you will likely read that Lindsay is only 165 pounds and won’t be a guy who could ever handle a full workload. His size is accurate, the narrative is not.
Lindsay led the entire NCAA in rushing attempts in 2017 including twenty or more carries in nine games, and a monster 41-carry effort against Arizona. Lindsay is not a big guy, and he won’t ever be a workhorse with Freeman in town but the idea that he can’t handle it between the tackles is false. He will likely replace Booker as the second back in Denver and could have some flex value in PPR leagues in certain matchups. In this particular case size doesn’t matter. Lindsay is worth a pretty substantial bid.
Recommended bid: 15%
