At this point, the waiver wire for your league has already run, but that doesn’t mean you can’t make any more moves. Below, we’ll talk about a few players who may still be available in your fantasy football league.
Now, in order to get a baseline of what players can be eligible for this list, we’ll be looking only at players who are under 50% rostered in ESPN leagues. Let’s dive into the list below.
1. Jayden Reed (40.3% Rostered)
Jayden Reed is the true definition of a stash given that he’s on the IR right now. If you have an IR slot in your league that’s not being used, this move is a no brainer. Even if not, Reed is a good stash for the last spot on your bench.
The reason is that Tucker Kraft is now out for the year, and before that, he was clearly the Green Bay Packers’ number one receiving threat. Trying to find who the Packers will replace him with is a worthwhile bet.
The Packers are averaging 25.8 PPG, which is the 11th best mark in the NFL, and Jordan Love has 2,071 passing yards on the year. Both metrics show this is a good offense to be attached to.
When healthy, Reed has been a viable fantasy option, scoring 13.6 PPG (PPR) as a rookie and 11.6 PPG in year two. Reed also had 13.5 points in Week 1 of this season.
While there’s no guarantee that Reed will be 100% or even when he’ll be back, this is a stash. It seems like Reed will be back sometime before Week 14 based on the linked report from Draft Sharks that references the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.
2. Kayshon Boutte (32.3% Rostered)
There was some talk about the New England Patriots adding a wide receiver at the NFL trade deadline, but things look the same. The New England Patriots, led by Drake Maye, are absolutely an offense you want pieces of.
So far this year, the Patriots have scored the 7th most PPG (26.3), and Maye has 2,285 passing yards. When watching Kayshon Boutte play, it’s evident that he’s a talented player.
Boutte is averaging 10.7 PPG on the year, but he’s had multiple big weeks. From Week 6 to Week 10, Boutte has gone over 13 points in three of those weeks.
Without any more target competition, Boutte could have a really strong end to the season and build off these performances.
3. Christian Watson (27.2% Rostered)
We’ll keep this Christian Watson breakdown short because the same idea of looking for the Packers’ next man up applies here. Watson is a bit less proven than Reed, but he’s available to play right now.
Watson has been plagued by injuries himself in the past. When healthy, though, the former 34th overall pick (2022 NFL Draft) has put together some big games.
Watson has yet to string a full season of production together, but there have been some encouraging moments. Such as when Watson had 20 points in back to back weeks during 2023 before going down with an injury.
So far in 2025, Watson has a game of 12.5 and 7.8 points. There’s a lot of risk with Watson, but the upside is also extremely high.

4. Colston Loveland (41.2% Rostered)
The only reason Colston Loveland is buried on this list is that it’s hard to believe he’ll be available in most fantasy leagues. Since Loveland does fit the criteria, though, he needs to be mentioned.
Loveland was the 10th overall pick in the 2025 NFL draft who just had his breakout game. Last week, Loveland had 29.8 points with Cole Kmet leaving the game early.
Now there’s a reason to believe that when Kmet comes back that could cause Loveland to return to the weeks where he was scoring less than seven points. On the flip side, though, it’s hard to see the Chicago Bears not wanting to involve Loveland a lot more after what they saw last week.
While not all of these players may be available to add, if you can stash at least one of them, their upside is worth a spot on the end of your fantasy football team’s bench.
