## Resource

Alfredo Brown, Derek Brown, and Tom Strachan reveal six players worth adding and stashing now before their roles, and potentially their waiver prices, change once the games begin. Could Ja'Kobi Lane carve out a significant role alongside Zay Flowers in Baltimore? Is Tyler Shough already a viable fantasy starter? The guys break down why Terrance Ferguson could emerge for the Rams, what Chig Okonkwo offers in Washington, and why Dontayvion Wicks could be one of the most overlooked wide receivers available on waivers. Plus, find out why Dylan Sampson's receiving role could make him a valuable PPR option in Cleveland. Get ahead of your league with the top fantasy football waiver wire pickups, sleepers, and Week 1 stashes to target before everyone else catches on.
