Week one is over, and it’s time to highlight top performers widely available in fantasy leagues. These three players contributed enough to spark hope for a successful fantasy season and should be claimed off waivers.
Daniel Jones was one of the best QBs in week one, and he is barely rostered in fantasy leagues. Jones will be a hot commodity on the waiver wire after his huge performance against the Miami Dolphins.
Any team in need of a backup quarterback should put in a claim for Jones. He could also be big if a starter goes down with an injury or simply by just filling in during a bye week.
Harold Fannin Jr got a ton of looks in the Cleveland Browns offense, accumulating nine targets in his NFL debut. If this workload continues, he will be a great streaming TE and could even develop into an every-week starter.
Fannin finished week one with seven catches for 63 yards, outperforming highly drafted tight end David Njoku. Fannin clearly has the trust of Joe Flacco and is a must-add in fantasy this week.
Kayshon Boutte stepped up in a big way for the New England Patriots. The receiver position is a complete unknown for the Patriots. If Boutte can become a top target of Drake Maye, he will need to be rostered in fantasy football.
Boutte finished week one with eight targets, amounting to six catches and over 100 receiving yards. He looked like the true number two receiver for New England. If he maintains this success, he could be seen as a weekly flex play.
There weren’t many big-time performances from players available in most leagues, but these players certainly earned a look. If they can maintain a role in their respective offenses, they will be a must-add in fantasy football.
