I bet there's at least one diamond in the rough on your waiver wire before week one even

0:04.1

begins. This is the type of player that your entire league might be running to the waiver wires

0:07.8

to get next week. So why not just frustrate all your friends and get this guy before he pops off

0:12.6

week one? These are the 13 players you need to add now before week one. And now obviously you're

0:17.0

not going to add all 13 of them depending on what's available in your league and your specific rules. But to start, let's talk about the Packers' tight end, Luke Musgrave.

0:23.6

He is a streamer.

0:24.6

He's worthy of a stream start this week, but also he has top 12 upside for the rest of the

0:28.6

year.

0:29.6

Because the rookie Musgrave played 99% of the Packers' starter snaps this preseason.

0:32.6

And he looked damn good out there. As Jacob Gibbs points out here, look at this. The target chairs for every single player with Jordan Love and the starters. The leader here was Luke Musgrave, seeing 24% of the

targets from Love. And Dwayne McFarlane seconds this because he said on the 37% of Jordan Love's

0:58.1

averaged eight targets per game as a tight end. And he's one of the most athletic tight ends we've

1:02.0

ever seen. This is the player profile of workout metrics. The higher these bars are, the better.

1:05.7

The closer they are to 100th percentile, the better. Look at this, his speed, his burst, his catch radius, everything is great. His athleticism score ranks in the top 3% of all time. Now, in week one, he'll find

1:15.2

himself with a difficult match of against the Bears, and they have some of the best linebackers

1:18.5

in the NFL with newly acquired TJ Edwards from Philadelphia and Tremaine Edmonds from the

1:23.5

Buffalo Bills. But after this game, things will get easier for Musgrave. And honestly, don't be shocked if he performs in this one, given his athletic ability and his connection

1:30.9

with Jordan Love in the preseason. And the next man up, who is available in over 70% of leagues,

1:35.6

is the Jaguars wide receiver 2, Zay Jones. Ridley is going to be the wide receiver 1. And yes,

1:40.4

Christian Kirk is there, but what we saw in the preseason from Christian Kirk was not encouraging. And this is what we saw in the preseason. Kirk basically operated as a slot-only
