Lucas Wencl breaks down five under-rostered players fantasy managers should add before their leaguemates catch on, helping you stay one step ahead of next week’s waiver run.
First up is Browns running back Dylan Sampson, who has produced usable fantasy numbers since returning from injured reserve and offers both standalone PPR value and valuable handcuff upside behind Quinshon Judkins.
Brian Robinson Jr. is another running back worth stashing. Despite playing behind Bijan Robinson in Atlanta, B-Rob offers standalone touches along with significant upside if the Falcons ever need to lean more heavily on him.
At tight end, Terrance Ferguson could become increasingly important for a Rams offense missing Davante Adams. Los Angeles continues to use heavy three-tight-end personnel, and Ferguson has already flashed legitimate receiving upside when given an expanded opportunity.
The wide receiver stashes include Treylon Burks, whose role has grown following Terry McLaurin’s injury, and Dolphins rookie Chris Bell, whose usage since Miami’s bye suggests a potential second-half breakout.
