By: George Kerth

The last week of most leagues fantasy regular season is here! While there aren’t a lot of boom players on this weeks waiver wire, this is the time to dig through your wire to find those hidden gems.

CHECK IF AVAILABLE: Chuba Hubbard (56.6%), Devonta Freeman (69%), Elijah Moore (72.6%), Pat Freiermuth (45.1%), Chase Edmonds (78.5%), Julio Jones (74.4%)

NO QB Taysom Hill (5.2% owned)

This is a pretty significant bye week for QBs missing Hurts, Tua, and Wentz, as well as the injuries to watch to QBs like Burrow, so someone like Taysom Hill is a great asset of the waiver wire. As Cody always likes to say, rushing QBs are a cheat code in fantasy and that showed last week when Hill threw 4 interceptions and still scored 20 fantasy points. If you need more evidence than that to add Hill, I don’t know what to tell you.

TEN RBs D’Onta Foreman (20.4% owned) & Dontrell Hilliard (17% owned)

Tennessee finally appears to have a rushing identity without Henry and it showed in their last game in week 12. Both Foreman and Hilliard went for over 100 yards rushing and scored. I like Foreman better for the long run as Hilliard fills more of the passing down role that is held by injured Jeremy McNichols, but both of these backs could be relevant down the stretch.

NYJ RB Tevin Coleman (22.5% owned)

Coleman is definitely not the prettiest name, but he is a beneficiary of opportunity at the moment while the Jets are without Michael Carter. The days of the Coleman/Ty Johnson split seem to be in the past and Coleman should be owned off of his volume alone.

MIN WR KJ Osborn (1.4% owned)

Osborn has been off of our radars for weeks now after his hot start, but now with the news that Adam Thielen will be missing time with a high ankle sprain, Osborn moves back into fantasy relevance. He immediately slots in as the #3 option in Minnesota behind Justin Jefferson and Alexander Mattison. It is also worth noting that TE Tyler Conklin could see a boost while the Vikings are without Thielen as well.

ATL WR Russell Gage (18.3% owned)

I have been so hot and cold on Gage over the last 4 weeks and for good reason. He was a very inconsistent looking option without Ridley in Atlanta, but it appears as though that is changing. Gage saw a career best 11 catches on 12 targets last week and Atlanta is trying to make it a point to get him the ball. He is no doubt worth an add for the stretch run.
