High-Upside Waiver Wire Bench Stashes
Only players rostered in fewer than 30% of fantasy football leagues are considered potential streamers.
Isaiah Davis, RB - NYJ
5% Rostered
Throughout the season, many handcuff RBs have been pushed to the starting role due to injuries on the roster, with the most recent example being Devin Neal of the Saints. A backup to consider holding on to your bench is Isaiah Davis of the New York Jets. With Braelon Allen (knee) on the shelf, Davis has fully claimed the No. 2 spot behind workhorse Breece Hall.
However, unlike most backup running backs, Davis carries minimal standalone value, which makes him only worth adding in deeper leagues. Since Week 10 (five games), Davis has averaged just 2.2 attempts per game and tallied a low 1.2 PPR points per game. Despite this, no other running back on the roster has emerged behind Davis, suggesting he would be the workhorse if Hall suffers an injury.
In the event Hall misses time, Davis would see a massive three-down role and carry RB2 upside.
Brian Robinson Jr., RB - SF
10% Rostered
The other handcuff to consider, taking ahead of the fantasy playoffs, is Brian Robinson of the 49ers. Like Davis, Robinson has established himself as the clear RB2 behind superstar Christian McCaffrey. However, unlike Davis, Robinson has been able to carve out some standalone value as a backup.
Over his last five games, the former Commander has taken 7.2 attempts per game and has punched in two scores in the red zone. Similar to Davis, with no other running back behind Robinson, he would see league-winning potential if McCaffrey suffers an injury. In this offense, Robinson has been very effective, averaging a stellar 4.6 YPC, which is on pace to be the highest of his career.

Pat Bryant, WR - DEN
5% Rostered
Despite playing in a crowded WR room, rookie Pat Bryant has had to carve out a significant role. In their victory over the Raiders on Sunday, Bryant brought in all of four targets for 32 yards. Since Week 11, Bryant has seen 5.7 targets per game and averaged a strong 52.0 yards per game.
More importantly, during their Week 14 victory, Bryant logged a season-high 70% of the snaps. This mark was substantially higher than Troy Franklin's, 53% of the snaps that he saw in this game. Franklin has seen his role slowly decline in this offense, as he has just seen 3.5 targets per game over the last two.
Managers in three-WR formats should look to stash Bryant as he is slowly going into the No. 2 role in the offense behind Courtland Sutton.

Isaiah Likely, TE - BAL
10% Rostered
The final player to consider tossing ahead of the opening week of the fantasy playoffs is Isaiah Likely. On Sunday, Likely continued his hot streak and is quickly trending out of stash territory and into streaming territory. In their loss to the Steelers, Likely caught four of his six targets for 25 yards and a score.
Over his last two games, Likely has seen six targets in each contest and tallied 60.0 yards per game with a score. With Mark Andrews catching only five passes over this stretch, and just one in Week 14, Likely is making a strong case to take over TE1 duties in Baltimore. Even if Andrews is still on the field as much as Likely, Lamar Jackson is beginning to lean toward his younger TE, which makes him worth stashing in deeper formats.
Since the Ravens lack any proven pas catchers outside of Zay Flowers, Likely can become the No. 2 option in this passing attack.
