Summary

Wins Above Fantasy – Van Burnett (@Van_Verified) and Steve Gesuele (@stav8818) break down the early-season waiver wire landscape, focusing on the tricky balance between patience and aggressiveness in early weeks. They highlight under-20% rostered players worth adding in 12–15 team leagues, while also flagging a handful of names to monitor as roles, skills, and small-sample breakouts begin to take shape.
