Get Ready for Week 1: The Ultimate Waiver Wire Breakdown!

As we gear up for the first week of the NFL season, it’s crucial to check your roster for potential dead weight and find those hidden gems. The Waiver Wire is your best friend right now, featuring must-add players available in more than 50% of ESPN, Sleeper, or Yahoo leagues. Let’s break down who you should drop, who to consider adding, and who might just save your season!

The Drop List: Don't Hold On to These Players!

If you’re clinging to players who are no longer must-haves, it’s time to reconsider. Here are two names you should seriously think about dropping: - **Joe Mixon (RB)**: Once rated highly, he’s now buried in the rankings. With an ongoing foot issue, he’s become dead weight in 16-round leagues—don’t hesitate to release him! - **Brian Robinson Jr. (RB)**: Owned in a whopping 69% of Yahoo leagues, Robinson’s value is plummeting after being traded to San Francisco. With Christian McCaffrey’s heavy touches in mind, Robinson isn’t the reliable handcuff most thought he’d be.

Injury Report: Who to Target!

If you’re looking to cash in on injuries, here’s a quick reference of injured players and their potential replacements available on waivers: - **Jordan Addison (suspension)** → **Adam Thielen** - **Jayden Reed** → **Romeo Doubs, Dontayvion Wicks** - **De’Von Achane** → **Ollie Gordon II** - **Joe Mixon** → **Woody Marks, Dameon Pierce** - **Jalen Coker** → **Xavier Legette** - **Josh Downs** → **Adonai Mitchell** - **Darnell Mooney** → **Ray-Ray McCloud** - **Jauan Jennings** → **Kendrick Bourne**
