first Dasher this week Demarcus Robinson is Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Demarcus Robinson who's rostered in 21% of Leagues with pukan AA placed on injured reserve there is ample opportunity for Demarcus Robinson to have weekly fantasy value it was clear he was the wide receiver too after nul left the game is Robinson played only six less snaps and ran four fewer routes than Cooper cup the biggest reason he was one of my favorite stashes prior to week one was because of how much I love this Rams offense Stafford looked great in week one completing nearly 70% of his passes for 3177 yards even going back to last season when Robinson was given the opportunity from week 13 on he was the wide receiver 12 in PPR formats and who can aou was healthy during that stretch the Rams draw a date with the Arizona Cardinals this week who secondary hasn't made much much progress since the 2023 season if Demarcus Robinson is still floating out on the waiver wire in your league he is the easiest stash ahead of week Ty Chandler two the second player this week is running back Tai Chandler of the Minnesota Vikings who's rostered in 29% of leagues it may seem like Tai Chandler is just a handcuff for Aaron Jones but his weak one numbers would say otherwise Chandler played 20 of the Vikings 55 snaps compared to Aaron Jones's 30 he also ran only three less routes than the season vet and even Drew three Targets on the afternoon Chandler likely won't outright supplant Aaron Jones but it's also clear that Aaron Jones isn't going to be a Workhorse of the Vikings 23 running back Rush attempts Jones only handled 14 and TI Chandler was given eight now Chandler's 2.1 yards per carry in week one left a lot to be desired but considering he still mustered up 7.2 fantasy points there could be sneaky Standalone value here not to mention Aaron Jones doesn't have the cleanest bill of health in the NFL and if anything does happen to Jones Tai Chan steps in as the running back one for the Minnesota Vikings next on our list is Adonai Mitchell Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Adonai Mitchell who's rostered in 27% of leagues here's the reality with ad M his a could have been substantially better if Anthony Richardson didn't overthrow him twice for touchdowns we'd be talking about him scoring 20 fantasy points on the week as the number one waiver wire pickup instead of only 1.2 fantasy points and why you should still be stashing him that's it all it would have taken was for even one of those two plays to go different that's why ad Mitchell is still such a great stash it's not great to see that he was out snapped and outproduced by Alec Pierce but what's clear is that the explosiveness is 100% there the speed is there he was leaving dudes in the dust on the perimeter in week one ad Mitchell is dangerous and once he and Anthony Richardson connect on a chunk play The Narrative will flip entirely another MarShawn Lloyd rookie you should look to stash is Marshon Lloyd running back for the Green Bay Packers who's rostered in 10% of leagues I know he didn't play in week one it was a em maniel Wilson who saw four carries Drew three targets and racked up 48 total yards so why am I still interested in stashing Marshon ly first and foremost Lloyd returned to practice earlier this week in limited fashion which is a positive sign that he could return sooner rather than later and what we can conclude from a Manuel Wilson's week one usage is that Matt lefur doesn't want to give Josh Jacobs the Kiron Williams treatment 73% of the snaps is still the strong number for Jacobs he was also Limited at practice earlier this week with a back injury now I don't anticipate this being anything to be worried about but considering the Packers spent a third round pick on the USC product he could handle a notable slice of the backfield when he returns Lloyd is likely only a stash candidate if you're in a deeper league so if he is still available it wouldn't hurt to stash him earlier than your league Colby Parkinson mates another Los Angeles Rams player you should look to stash this week is tight end kobby Parkinson who's rostered in 29% of leades I say this every year the tight end position is a vast desolate Wasteland in fantasy football and considering only five tight ends put up double digit fantasy points in week one we need the stash upside when we see it just like Demarcus Robinson pukan akua's absence is going to open up moral opportunity for Parkinson the Rams are looking to make sure their $21 million investment is on the field as Parkinson played 69 of 78 possible snaps against the Lions in week one and ran the most routes of all tight ends that led to four receptions on five targets for 47 yards in a tight end seven finish in PPR formats on the week now I don't want to leverage 8.7 fantasy points like it's a phenomenal outcome but on any other week it would be a no-brainer to pick up the tight end 7 if more opportunity was being opened up to them we've seen Tyler Higg foot with top 10 top 12 value in the past on this Rams offense and Kobe Parkson now it's the same path another Tucker Kraft tight end you should consider stashing is Tucker craft of the Green Bay Packers who's rostered in only 3% of leagues this is definitely for those of you in deep deep leagues but the week 1 numbers definitely f Tucker craft compared to Luke Musgrave The Snap shares weren't even close in Brazil craft played 47 more snaps than Musgrave and ran 22 more routes considering craft wasn't 100% healthy coming into week one this was a relative surprise craft also ran a healthy 1.76 yards per route per fantasy points data and he should be running far more than 30 routes on 64 snaps as he continues to get healthy now full recognition that as of this recording Malik Willis projects to be his quarterback in week two but that may not be the worst thing in the world craft can be the safety blanket for Willis underneath and while it won't be Dynamite plays we just talked about hok Kobe Parkinson was a tight end seven in week one with only 8.7 fantasy points Tyler Johnson we're going back to the Rams well and talking about stashing wide receiver Tyler Johnson who's rostered in 8% of leades if Demarcus Robinson is already picked up in your league I think Tyler Johnson is also a great option it'll be a tag team effort to fill pukan aa's void but why not throw darts on all these guys when they all show flashes of upside Johnson stepped up in puk's absence playing 51 snaps and Drew seven Targets on 33 routes the guy caught five passes for 79 yards while finishing at the wide receiver 26 on the week and it's like nobody cares we all know Cooper cup is going to draw a massive amount of targets but even when cup through 21 of them in week one Tyler Johnson was still involved it also doesn't help that this Rams offensive line is banged up and they'll struggle to run the football I mentioned earlier the Rams draw the Cardinals in week two who have exploitable secondary has projected 492 points in this game if you're in a deep league and need a dart throw use it on Tyler Xavier Legette Johnson up next is Carolina Panthers wide receiver Xavier League get who's rostered in 14% of leagues I know rostering any Carolina Panther feels disgusting at this point but hear me out on Xavier Legette he led the team in Targets on Sunday with seven he only played Four less snaps than teammate Deontay Johnson and only ran four less routes than him too now I know no this Panthers offense looked abysmal the passing attack found zero Rhythm this isn't a fun team to talk about okay but it's only been one week There's time for the Panthers to piece this thing together liette is in a stash that will bring you riches in the next one to two weeks but if you're in a deep league and can afford to stash rookie upside Le get at least flash that in week Devaughn Vele one we're getting deep down the wire with these last two stashes and let's start with Denver Broncos wide receiver Devon V who's rostered in only 1% of League this is another offense I feel gross talking about but at the end of the day volume is volume and when it's going to a rookie wide receiver I'm willing to chase it if I have the room to stash them the seventh round rookie out of Utah Drew eight targets and caught all eight of them in his NFL debut he was still behind Courtland Sutton and Josh Reynolds and snap Shar and routes run but if B is going to draw this level of volume he could have some value in deep deep PPR leagues if B Knicks is going to continue to be a check down King the yardage won't be there but considering V still scored 11.9 fantasy points on only 39 yards in week one that intrigues me enough to make him a stash and see how he fars in week two the last player Jalen McMillan we'll talk about today is Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Jaylen McMillan who's rostered in 6% of leagues McMillan only caught one pass on Sunday but hey you know what it did go for a touchdown typically I wouldn't be interested in chasing a one reception 32 yards and a touchdown statline but I was shocked when I took a deeper look at his numbers McMillan LED all Buccaneers wide receivers in snaps and routes run in week one yes more than Mike Evans and more than Chris Godwin what's clear from that is McMillan will be on the field plenty in future weeks and has the wide receiver three roll locked down in Tampa Bay they draw a fun match up with the lions in week two that's projected for 512 points and McMillan could add on to an optimistic start to his rookie Closing campaign all righty y'all that is it that is all I have for you today but before we sign off remember you can take the guesswork out of waiver wire decisions
