Hunter Renfrow, Las Vegas Raiders

65% rostered

We can't really talk about why Hunter Renfrow is a waiver addition this week without bringing in some context. Renfrow is going to see an uptick in usage going forward because the Raiders have released Henry Ruggs III, who is currently facing multiple felony charges. That has moved Renfrow into lead receiver role for the Raiders. He delivered this week, getting nine targets while Zay Jones and Bryan Edwards combined for eight targets and just one catch. Renfrow finished with seven receptions for 49 yards and a score. His ceiling still isn't super high, but it's higher than it was, and his floor has been boosted. He's a WR3 play on a weekly basis at this point.

Michael Gallup, Dallas Cowboys

48% rostered

Gallup hasn't played since Week 1 because of a calf injury, but there seems to be a decent chance he returns for a game against a Falcons defense that should struggle to contain the Cowboys. Will a healthy Gallup have a fantasy-relevant role in Dallas? Yes. Will he be healthy enough next week? Good question. This is a good time to add him in preparation for his impending return, when he should be able to score in double figures in fantasy most weeks.

Rashod Bateman, Baltimore Ravens

27% rostered

Another week of Sammy Watkins out, another week of Rashod Bateman getting a lot of usage. He was targeted eight times this week, turning that into five catches for 52 yards. Bateman isn't guaranteed to be above a healthy Watkins in the pecking order, but the talented young wideout is carving out a nice role for Lamar Jackson. That won't vanish, and with the Dolphins and Bears up next, there's some room for Jackson to use Bateman as a deep threat and make some things happen.

Elijah Moore, New York Jets

27% rostered

The Jets receiving room makes no sense, but the fact that Elijah Moore tied the team lead in targets this week is notable, right? His eight targets were turned into seven catches, 84 yards, and two touchdowns. He now has 13 targets over the last two weeks, and impressively, that comes on 14 targets. Moore is doing a really good job converting targets into catches, giving him arguably the highest fantasy floor of any Jets receiver. His matchup next week is bad, but then he gets Miami, Houston, and Philadelphia in the three weeks after that.

Russell Gage, Atlanta Falcons

16% rostered

Alright y'all: I was wrong. When Gage wasn't targeted last week, I thought that was an indication that Sharpe was going to be the preferred target in Atlanta in a post-Calvin Ridley environment. Things were more normal this week. Gage was targeted eight times, the most of any Falcons receiver, which resulted in seven catches for 64 yards. This is a weird Atlanta team, with tight end Kyle Pitts and running back(?) Cordarrelle Patterson being the first and second option. Gage is still option three on a Matt Ryan team. There's value in that.

Deonte Harris, New Orleans Saints

15% rostered

Michael Thomas is done for the season, so we can maybe finally sort some things out in the Saints receiving corps? I don't know, but hey, Harris led the receivers in targets. He's been targeted 15 times in the last two games, and I think that Harris is the No. 1 wideout in New Orleans now. That role doesn't seem super fantasy-relevant, but if your league is deep enough, Harris getting seven or eight targets makes him rosterable, even if you won't feel good about it.

Keelan Cole Sr., New York Jets

0% rostered

Cole tied Moore in targets with eight, turning that into five catches for 66 yards. Does that matter? I still don't know. So much of that was in garbage time, but he has had his two best target games over the last two weeks. Jamison Crowder's role is shrinking. Denzel Mims keeps not getting used. Braxton Berrios and Jeff Smith barely exist. Cole has a decent shot to be the No. 2 or No. 3 receiver going forward for the Jets. Is that a role that will do anything? Probably not, but in a deep league, maybe?

Danny Amendola, Houston Texans

0% rostered

In Week 1 with Tyrod Taylor playing, Danny Amendola had five catches for 34 yards and a score. This week with Tyrod back, he was targeted seven times, with three catches for 49 yards. Amendola's two best games have come with Tyrod Taylor. Assuming Taylor doesn't get benched for Davis Mills, Amendola should have a decent role going forward, which could help managers in deep, full PPR leagues.

Olamide Zaccheaus, Atlanta Falcons

0% rostered

Zaccheaus had two touchdowns this week. He also had multiple targets for the first time since Week 5. I have no idea if I would actually add him or not, but anytime someone has 50-plus yards and two scores on a team whose receiving options are really weak, it's worth at least taking note of.
