Week 0 Waiver Wire Adds

October 22, 2026

Every player below is rostered in under 65% of Yahoo leagues, and every pick is made for 9-cat leagues. Yahoo % rostered as of October 22, 2026.

The picks are organized into five tiers by league size — the shallower your league, the higher the tier you should be shopping in.

Tier 1 · Add in 10-Team Leagues

Yves Missi (NO · 43% rostered)

30 minutes in the first game is a good sign after playing less than 20 MPG last year.

Tier 2 · Add in 10–12-Team Leagues

Moussa Diabaté (CHA · 36% rostered)

If he plays close to 30 MPG, he’ll easily average 10+ rebounds — he played 34 in the first game.

Grayson Allen (CHA · 25% rostered)

As long as Coby White and Kon Knueppel are out, he’s a must-play. He should still get decent minutes in 12–14-team leagues once they’re back.

Even at 20 MPG, he should be able to contribute well in fantasy.

Andre Drummond (NYK · 26% rostered)

Doesn’t need a ton of minutes to help in rebounds.
