This past week was the week of sneaky injuries where a lot of players started to see more usage.

0:05.1

And some of these players you want to add to your fantasy team, you know, so you can smack around

your friends. So here is everything you need to know for the waiver wire this week, who to be

0:12.7

adding and who to be targeting. And let's start with a situation that is unfolding in Denver's

0:16.9

backfield right now and it's going to impact this man on the screen, Samaji Piron. Now, that situation is Javante Williams leaving with an injury. But last night, we got a positive.

You can say it's a positive report for sure from Adam Schaefter, who said,

0:28.2

Javante Williams left this game with a hit flexer. He is not expected to miss much, if any time.

0:32.9

Okay, so that is good news, but then I saw this tweet. And it's from Jeff Mueller, who we have referenced a lot of times on this channel.

on Twitter, Pryne led the backfield playing 56% of the snaps. Now, it only led to five fantasy points, but this was a game where the Broncos were throwing the ball a ton, downfield to Marvin Mames, to Cortland Sutton for a touchdown late as they came back against the

1:14.9

Bears. And let's remember, Samadri was signed this off season to a pretty decent-sized contract

1:18.9

to be the 1A-1B with Javante since he was coming off of.5 million. Now, that doesn't seem all that crazy, but I mean,

1:27.9

this is more guaranteed money, three times as much guaranteed money as Ezeko Elliott got this

1:31.8

offseason. This is more than probably double the normal backup running back money because they

1:36.1

expected Samaji to be involved. And now he might be a starter for a couple of games. And here's the

1:40.2
