Tuesday morning, waivers are open. Here are the names that jumped out of Sunday's box scores. Check your league before someone else does.
Kayshon Boutte, Texans - 5 targets, 4 catches, 125 yards, 2 TDs Sunday. The season numbers are thin (19 receptions, 319 yards, tied-108th in receptions) so don't kid yourself about the track record, but he's heading to Cleveland next week as a HOU -4.5 favorite. I'm checking him in every league I'm in right now.
Matthew Golden, Packers - 10 targets, 10 catches, 164 yards, 1 TD. On the season he's tied-7th in receptions (53), 4th in receiving yards (783) and his 14.8 yards per reception ranks 21st. Home vs Minnesota in a game sitting at GB -4.5. He's a legit WR2 conversation at this point.
Christian Watson, Packers - 8 targets, 7 catches, 171 yards, 1 TD. His 17.9 yards per reception is 1st in the NFL, 879 receiving yards ranks 3rd, and he's tied-2nd in receiving TDs with 7. Same great matchup as Golden. I'm firing him up if he's sitting there.
Bucky Irving, Buccaneers - 20 carries, 97 yards, 2 TDs, plus 5 targets and 4 catches. Season line: 167 attempts (5th), 825 rushing yards (4th), 7 rushing TDs (tied-9th). No pack matchup data for Tampa this week but the usage is real.
Kenneth Walker III, Chiefs - 18 carries, 102 yards, 1 TD rushing, plus 4 targets and 2 receiving TDs. Season: 872 rushing yards (2nd in NFL), 5.5 yards per carry (2nd). He's at Atlanta next week, KC -3.5. Flex or better depending on your league.
Who are you targeting first off waivers this week?
