Episode Description from the Publisher

Waiver Wire Wednesday is BACK with another batch of fantasy hockey pickups! 🏒 After several of last week’s targets delivered in a big way, Brock Seguin and Beebs Bondy return with more under-rostered players who could give your fantasy team an early-season boost. This week, the guys break the waiver wire down into five different roster-percentage tiers — from players available in roughly half of leagues all the way down to deep sleepers rostered in fewer than 10%. 🔥 Luke Evangelista — A preseason breakout candidate who has landed in an excellent situation in New Jersey. His increased ice time, shot volume and role in the Devils’ top six and power play make him one of the most intriguing early-season adds. 📈 William Eklund — Increased shot volume, over 18 minutes per night and encouraging underlying numbers have Brock buying into another level of production this season. 🚨 Jared McCann — Stop overlooking him! McCann continues to provide consistent goal scoring, shot volume and power-play production while remaining available in far too many leagues. 🛡️ Zayne Parekh — The Flames may be struggling, but Parekh is firing the puck at an incredible rate and remains one of the most interesting young defensemen available on the waiver wire. 🦆 Mikael Granlund — Heavy minutes, PP1 usage and a strong role in Anaheim’s top six make the veteran an intriguing option for managers searching for reliable production. 🍁 Jack Roslovic — Playing alongside Auston Matthews and Kirill Marchenko gives Roslovic immediate fantasy appeal, and the early underlying numbers from that line have been extremely encouraging. 🐙 Viktor Arvidsson — Dylan Larkin’s return could be exactly what Arvidsson needs. With top-six minutes, power-play usage and his trademark shot volume, the veteran winger remains heavily under-rostered. ⚔️ Jack Quinn — Brock is ALL IN. Quinn is averaging over 20 minutes per game while generating an absurd number of shot attempts, giving him legitimate breakout potential if the usage continues. 🔵 Kent Johnson — Still available in the vast majority of leagues, Johnson is getting an opportunity alongside Adam Fantilli and Matthew Knies and could be a sneaky option in deeper formats. 🦆 Tristan Luneau — Looking for a deep-league defenseman? Luneau’s massive early-season workload makes him one of the most intriguing young blueliners available in under 10% of leagues. Whether you need an immediate starter, a potential breakout player or a deep sleeper before the rest of your league catches on, there are waiver-wire options available at every ownership level. Plus, Brock and Beebs explain which early-season performances they’re buying into, why shot volume and ice time are so important when evaluating potential breakouts, and which players could have staying power on your roster. Next week, the guys will also turn their attention to BUY-LOW candidates as the early-season sample starts to grow. 👍 LIKE the video and SUBSCRIBE to the DFO Fantasy & Betting channel for waiver-wire pickups, streaming targets, buy-low candidates and fantasy hockey advice all season long! #FantasyHockey #NHLFantasy #NHL Hosted on Acast.
