Description

Your fantasy draft is complete, but is your roster ready for week 1? Don't carry a backup defense, backup kicker or backup QB into the regular season. Don't carry veterans who have been average throughout their career. Before week 1, you want to take home run swings. You want to find the players most likely to break out in week 1 so that you don't have to fight your league mates for them after week 1!

Host and author of the Fantasy Football Almanac, Sean Ryan, digs into the top waiver wire additions. His top players are listed below, but listen to the podcast for the full list:

QB: Trevor Lawrence
RB: Dylan Sampson
WR: Donte Thornton Jr and Ced Tillman
TE: Darren Waller
DST: San Francisco 49ers
