Top Waiver Wire Targets for NFL Week 1

The PFF Waiver Wire Tool has identified several players to target for fantasy football in Week 1, including Michael Mayer and Tyler Shough.

Tyler Shough, currently rostered in 47.2% of ESPN leagues, had a promising rookie season, averaging 17.6 PPR points per game. Despite a favorable schedule, he may experience mild regression this season due to the addition of new offensive players and injuries affecting the team. In Week 1, he faces a Detroit Lions defense missing key safeties, which could lead to increased passing opportunities.

While Shough may not be a starting option in most leagues, he stands out among widely available quarterbacks for those needing a replacement in Week 1.
