The bid percentage next to a waiver wire gem indicates the percentage of a "blind bid" budget used in some leagues to award free agent pickups. If your league does not use blind bid waivers, consider the number a way to rank the quality of waiver wire additions.

Quarterback Upgrades

  • QB Anthony Richardson IND outlook up massively, bid: 50-100% Rostered by: Free Agent
    outlook up massively, bid: 50-100%

    Richardson is going to be just fine. The Colts and their quarterback have put the benching behind them, and now we are seeing why the organization was willing to pin their future on the raw but talented prospect. Richardson was accurate as a downfield passer and allowed to run with physicality in the red zone, scoring twice on the ground. He could be a top-five fantasy quarterback going forward and has a sky-high ceiling in Week 12 against Detroit.

  • QB Joe Burrow CIN outlook up considerably Rostered by: Free Agent
    outlook up considerably

    Burrow had a rough first half against the Chargers, but he still ended up among the top three quarterbacks of the week and over 30 points in most systems. He is the #1 fantasy quarterback over the last three weeks and top five for the year despite a slow start and five missed games from Tee Higgins.
