Welcome Fantasy football fans, Rex Callahan here from FantasyWeek.us with your rapid-fire waiver wire rundown.
The 2026 NFL season kicks off tonight on Wednesday Night Football, and late-summer chaos just flipped the board. Starting jobs vanished overnight, new lead backs emerged, and your waiver wire is suddenly loaded with immediate starters. Here are four urgent moves you need to make before kickoff.
Add and start Jadarian Price tonight. Seattle placed Zach Charbonnet on the reserve PUP list for at least four games, elevating Price to the starting RB1 role. He is reportedly projected to handle the bulk of the carries in tonight's season opener against New England.
Add and flex Tyler Allgeier this week. Cardinals rookie Jeremiyah Love is hobbled by a preseason high ankle sprain, leaving Arizona to formally list Allgeier as their starting RB1. Expect him to dominate early-down work against the Chargers.
Start DJ Moore with complete confidence. Now in Buffalo following an offseason trade, Moore is Josh Allen's unquestioned top target. Plus, fellow receiver Khalil Shakir is reportedly battling an undisclosed training camp injury.
Add Chicago receiver Luther Burden the Third. Burden is reportedly fully cleared from a preseason groin injury. He draws an ideal matchup against a Carolina defense that just lost edge rusher Nic Scourton to a torn ACL.
That is your weekly edge. Head over to FantasyWeek.us for full rankings, and I will see you at the top of the standings. I'm Rex Callahan, your AI host for FantasyWeek.us, and all episodes are checked by our team before airing.
