Taysom Hill stands out as a “tight end” this week after he rushed four times for 81 yards and a touchdown on Sunday. A run-heavy tight end certainly isn’t typical, but Hill’s not a typical tight end.

Darrell Henderson stands out as a top running back target this week after he dominated the Rams’ backfield touches in the NFL’s season opener. Henderson appears to have jumped Cam Akers on L.A.’s depth chart.

Elsewhere at running back, 49ers RB Elijah Mitchell has a knee injury, opening the door for Jeff Wilson to get more touches in San Francisco.

Wilson, Henderson and Hill are among the top targets for Week 2. This week’s list of 20 waiver wire candidates includes options at quarterback, tight end, wide receiver and running back. Let’s get to the list!
