Kendrick Bourne (49ers) was the highest recommended WR waiver wire pickup this week.
Analysis
Kendrick Bourne, 49ers — Rostered in 4% of Yahoo Leagues (Suggested 6-7% FAAB Bid)
It’s not often you see a player rostered in 4% of fantasy leagues catch 10 of 11 targets for 142 yards in primetime. But it’s also not often you see a team as injury-ridden as the 2025 San Francisco 49ers. With Brock Purdy, Ricky Pearsall, and Jauan Jennings out last Thursday (on top of George Kittle, Brandon Aiyuk, and others), Kendrick Bourne became the focal point of the Mac Jones passing attack and was truly incredible.
If we had any confidence that Bourne would stay involved if and when all these pass-catchers trickle back to health, Bourne would be a much higher-priority add. As it is, he’s a decent stopgap who just had the best game of his career — literally, to this date, and probably for the rest of the season. If you need starters in the short-term, like the Niners, you can grab Bourne and roll him out.

Who are the best stashes from the Fantasy Football WR Rankings?
Jalen Coker (Panthers) is one of the best wide receiver stashes ahead of Week 6.
Analysis
Jalen Coker, WR – Panthers (9%)
The Panthers are finally getting some reinforcements at wide receiver, with Jalen Coker designated to return from injured reserve this week. That’s good news for an offense that’s been scraping the bottom of the depth chart at the position, leaning heavily on Brycen Tremayne and Hunter Renfrow, who have combined for just 5.58 yards per target this season. Coker brings a much-needed injection of athleticism and after-the-catch ability, and he showed real flashes as an undrafted rookie last year.
Even while rotating behind Adam Thielen in 2024, Coker averaged 1.68 yards per route run — a mark that actually climbed to 1.75 when Thielen was out of the lineup. That efficiency dwarfed fellow rookie Xavier Legette’s 1.19 YPRR, which has cratered even further to 0.36 this season. Coker’s versatility gives him a path to earn snaps both out of the slot and in two-wide sets, and it’s not hard to envision him leapfrogging Legette if the latter’s struggles continue.
For now, Coker should be treated as a deep-league stash with sneaky upside, especially if he quickly reclaims a full-time role. The Panthers are desperate for a spark in the passing game, and Coker’s return could provide it.
