With fantasy football drafts wrapping up, it's time to optimize your roster for Week 1 through strategic waiver wire pickups. Here are three key players to target:

Justin Jackson (RB - Chargers)

  • Current RB2 behind Austin Ekeler in Los Angeles
  • Could see 30% of snaps in Saints-style offensive system
  • Potential RB1 upside if Ekeler's hamstring issue persists
  • Valuable handcuff in an effective offense

Elijah Moore (WR - Jets)

  • Dominated training camp before minor injuries
  • Praised as potentially best player on Jets roster
  • Strong prospect with consistent improvement
  • Could emerge as WR1 in offense that supported Corey Davis

Terrace Marshall Jr. (WR - Panthers)

  • Secured WR3 role after impressive preseason
  • Team likely to run frequent 3-WR sets
  • Red zone threat with touchdown potential
  • History of scoring despite lower yardage totals
  • Could provide early-season trade value after big performances
