Our very own Seahawks running back, Emanuel Wilson, jumped to playing 41% of the offensive snaps last week, making him a prime target for anyone looking to stash some fantasy gold before Tuesday night’s waiver wire frenzy. With injuries and slow starts popping up across the league, it’s always smart to look ahead and grab players who are about to blow up. You gotta beat everyone to the punch!
Seahawks’ Wilson Leads The Stash Pack
Listen, the Seahawks like Emanuel Wilson, and sometimes, for fantasy, that’s all it takes. That jump to 41% of offensive snaps last week came after another player got banged up a bit. Seriously, that’s a massive opportunity! Wilson could be a crucial pickup as we head into Week 3. But he’s not the only one. Over in Kansas City, the Chiefs’ offense is a straight-up machine. Their offensive line is great, Patrick Mahomes looks like his old self, and their run game? Crushing it. They’re first in the NFL with 0.182 Rush EPA! Rookie Emmett Johnson looks good in his limited touches, and if their top back misses any time, Johnson is a lottery ticket, no doubt. Then there’s Terrance Ferguson, the Rams tight end. He just had a coming-out party on Monday Night Football against the Giants, posting a 6/54/1 line! Puka Nacua didn’t play in that one and is expected to miss Week 3, but is “on track” for Week 4. Ferguson has a real chance to establish himself, and if he’s legit, he could carve out a role even when Puka gets back on the field.
Wide Receivers Stepping Up When It Counts
Moving onto wideouts, remember Keenan Allen with the Colts? He was a stash just a few weeks ago, and now he’s probably moving into your starting lineup. With Alec Pierce out for several weeks, Allen is essentially the WR2 next to Josh Downs. The guy has played 59% of the Colts’ snaps this season, holding an 18.6% target share and a 14.3% red zone target share. Their defense looks shaky, which means more higher-scoring games, more playing catch-up, and that means more passes. Allen is going to feast. Keep an eye on Khadarel Hodge for the 49ers too. He’s a depth receiver now thrust into more playing time. The 49ers were already without Ricky Pearsall, then lost De’Zhaun Stribling in Week 1, and Demarcus Robinson in Week 2. That leaves Mike Evans, who’s aging and banged up, along with Deebo Samuel Sr. as their starting receivers. The 49ers’ offense is always elite, and one more injury could make Hodge a starter.
So, as we stare down Week 3, make sure you’re ahead of the curve. These are the guys who could turn your fantasy season around. Get ’em on your squad before everyone else figures it out!
