Week 1 Waiver Wire Lottery Tickets: Players to Add BEFORE the Season Starts
Tuesday, 8 September, 2026

On this episode of the Fantasy Football Almanac Show, I’m looking at the players you should consider adding to the end of your roster before Week 1. These aren't safe, career-long mediocre veterans who might give you a few usable fantasy points. We're taking home run swings.The goal is simple: use those final roster spots on players whose situations could change quickly. If things break the right way in Week 1, you may already have the player everyone else in your league is fighting to acquire on waivers.I break down lottery-ticket options at every position, including:QB Malik WillisRB Chris Rodriguez Jr.WR Jalen NailorTE Chig OkonkwoPlus many more high-upside players to consider before Week 1Some of these players won't work out. That's the point. At the back of your roster, I'd rather chase breakout potential than predictable mediocrity.Find more 2026 fantasy football rankings, draft strategy, analysis, and updates at The Fantasy Football Almanac.
