Stash or Deep Plays

Devin Neal, Saints Running Back

Kendre Miller went down with a torn ACL on Sunday. Neal was an exciting prospect who fell due to some limited athletic tools. With an aging Alvin Kamara and no one in the way, Neal has an easy path to touches and fantasy football viability. He’s the top stash among waiver pickups this week.

Neal is rostered in 4% of leagues on Sleeper.

Brashard Smith, Chiefs Running Back

Brashard Smith just keeps getting touches when he’s on the field. He has a 7.5% target share, with his usage increasing every week. As the season goes on, there’s a chance Smith’s role continues to grow and he becomes a PPR target among waiver pickups.

Smith is rostered in 9% of leagues on Sleeper.

Isaiah Likely, Ravens Tight End

After waiting for him to return from injury, Likely played a ton of snaps in Week 6 and was forgotten about ahead of the Week 7 bye. Impatient teams sent him to the waiver wire, but Mark Andrews hasn’t done much to solidify his usage in the receiving game. Lamar Jackson could return soon, and it’s a fairly soft schedule for the Ravens from here on out.

Likely is rostered in 14% of leagues on Sleeper.
