Your fantasy football waiver wire probably has been picked clean of any usable talent, and managers are finding it very difficult to find depth to help them survive the grueling bye-week gauntlet.
asserted
them → pick → gauntlet
Though injuries typically force us to scramble for unknown running back handcuffs or emergency backups, we can take a smarter, proactive approach by hunting for talent returning from IR who are ready to make an immediate impact, particularly at the wide receiver position.
Take, for instance, the return of Ja’Kobi Lane to the Ravens.
asserted
who → force → Ravens
After a spectacular preseason, the rookie out of USC was already commanding a 40 percent snap share in Week 1 and saw three targets before fracturing a bone in his wrist and landing on short-term IR.
asserted
rookie → command → IR
He made his triumphant return Sunday, immediately jumping to a 54 percent snap share.
asserted
He → make → share
Lane saw five targets, second most on the team, and hauled in four catches for 40 yards.
asserted
Lane → see → yards
He possesses the deep speed to stretch the field vertically combined with the size and physicality to win contested catches downfield.

he → continue → Flowers
Meanwhile, the Jets welcomed back Omar Cooper Jr. to inject some life into their offense.
asserted
Jets → welcome → offense
Cooper’s preseason wasn’t quite as loud as Lane’s, and he was initially slated to work behind Isaiah Williams early in the year.
asserted
he → slat → year
Unfortunately, he suffered a high-ankle sprain on the opening possession of the season and was stashed on IR.
asserted
he → suffer → IR
He returned in Week 6 and made up for lost time in a major way.
asserted
He → return → way
Not only did Cooper completely push Williams to the bench, but he also logged a stellar 82 percent snap share and turned seven targets into six catches for 103 yards, highlighted by a brilliant 48-yard touchdown.
asserted
he → push → touchdown
Though it was a favorable matchup against a Patriots secondary that has struggled to cover slot receivers, Cooper’s relentless motor stood out.
asserted
motor → struggle → receivers
If he maintains this kind of heavy snap share, he will have no trouble building a reliable rapport with Geno Smith moving forward.
asserted
he → maintain → Smith

asserted
they → bet → stats
Don’t look for what was already done, look for what is going to happen.
asserted
what → look → ?
