Start by analyzing their past performances including statistics like total yards rushed per game played this season so far along with number carries received each contest – higher figures generally indicate more opportunity produce points going forward if trend continues consistently over subsequent weeks games being played .
Next take into account individual player attributes such speed , strength agility that could potentially give them an edge over competition on field when given opportunity to shine. Also, consider the offensive line of their respective teams as this plays a crucial role in creating running lanes for RBs.
Lastly, always keep an eye out for injuries or suspensions within the team which may open up more opportunities for your stashed players to step into larger roles and produce significant fantasy points.
In conclusion, having a proactive approach towards managing your waiver wire can significantly enhance your chances of success in Fantasy Football. So go ahead and start planning those strategic moves now!
