Waiver Wire Week 1: Highlighting Top Pickups from 2020 Preseason

Now that Cam Newton has earned the New England Patriots' starting quarterback job, he has to be considered as a viable fantasy football option for Week 1 and beyond.

Newton may not be the first-choice quarterback on your roster right away, but he is worth a pickup now before you run out of time to land him.

Other preseason developments across the NFL have led to Washington running back Antonio Gibson and New York Jets wide receiver Jamison Crowder being solid waiver-wire options.

Gibson has an opportunity to succeed in his rookie season with Adrian Peterson off the roster, while Crowder appears to be the best option for Sam Darnold among a depleted wide receiver group.
