For Week 16 of the fantasy football playoffs, some top streaming quarterback options include Baker Mayfield (TB) against the Jacksonville Jaguars, Jake Browning (CIN) against the Pittsburgh Steelers, Gardner Minshew (IND) against the Atlanta Falcons, and Joe Flacco (CLE) against the Houston Texans. However, fantasy players should avoid streaming Aidan O'Connell (LV) against the Kansas City Chiefs. These quarterbacks are rostered in under 50% of ESPN 1QB leagues and fewer than 25% in superflex leagues.
In Week 16 of the NFL season, fantasy football managers should consider adding Derek Carr, the New Orleans Saints' quarterback, who threw three touchdowns despite missing his top two wide receivers; Tyler Allgeier, the Atlanta Falcons' backup running back, who saw increased snaps and opportunities; and Noah Brown, the Houston Texans' veteran receiver, who had a strong performance against the Tennessee Titans and will face them again in Week 17. Other potential waiver wire targets include Nick Mullens of the Minnesota Vikings and Tommy DeVito of the New York Giants.
In Week 15 of the NFL season, Matthew Stafford (LAR) and Jake Browning (CIN) are recommended as streaming quarterback options in 1QB leagues, while Gardner Minshew (IND) and Mitch Trubisky (PIT) are suggested for superflex leagues. However, Bailey Zappe (NE) is advised to be avoided due to the tough matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs.
Injuries to key players have opened up opportunities for waiver wire targets in fantasy football. Quarterbacks Joshua Dobbs, Matthew Stafford, Jameis Winston, and Gardner Minshew are worth considering due to favorable schedules and potential starting roles.

In Week 9 of the NFL season, Keaton Mitchell emerged as a standout running back for the Baltimore Ravens, while Demario Douglas became the top wide receiver for the New England Patriots. Taysom Hill's dual role as a tight end and quarterback for the New Orleans Saints could provide long-term value. In terms of fantasy football waiver wire targets, Kyler Murray of the Arizona Cardinals, Joshua Dobbs of the Minnesota Vikings, Derek Carr of the New Orleans Saints, Will Levis of the Tennessee Titans, and Taylor Heinicke of the Atlanta Falcons are all worth considering.
In Week 6 of the NFL season, fantasy football players should consider adding Roschon Johnson and D'Onta Foreman due to injuries in the Chicago Bears' running back position. Additionally, monitoring recently dropped players and keeping an eye on injury news can provide valuable waiver wire targets. In terms of quarterbacks, Matthew Stafford of the Los Angeles Rams is a recommended streamer option for Week 6, while Sam Howell of the Washington Commanders has shown potential for fantasy relevance with increased passing volume.
Fantasy football managers in need of a spot start due to injuries should consider adding these five players from the waiver wire for Week 3: Baker Mayfield (QB, Tampa Bay Buccaneers) has performed well and has a favorable matchup against the banged-up Eagles secondary; Craig Reynolds (RB, Detroit Lions) could see increased opportunities with David Montgomery's injury; Tutu Atwell (WR, Los Angeles Rams) has quietly performed well with the opportunities he's been given; Taysom Hill (TE, New Orleans Saints) could benefit from injuries and suspensions in the Saints' backfield.
Week 2 of the fantasy football season brings several wide receiver waiver wire targets, including Puka Nacua of the Los Angeles Rams, Rashid Shaheed of the New Orleans Saints, Zay Jones of the Jacksonville Jaguars, Robert Woods of the Houston Texans, and Allen Robinson of the Pittsburgh Steelers. These players showed promise in Week 1 and could provide value moving forward.
As the 2023 NFL season kicks off, fantasy football players are looking for streaming options and waiver wire targets for Week 1.

In superflex leagues, Jordan Love of the Green Bay Packers gets his first career start against the Chicago Bears, and Sam Howell of the Washington Football Team faces the Arizona Cardinals, who had a poor defense last season. However, Jimmy Garoppolo of the Las Vegas Raiders should be avoided as he goes up against the strong Denver Broncos defense.
