Welcome to the Waiver Deep Cut, where a man who has started four different defenses in three weeks tells you who to pick up. I run a team called Questionable at best. Take that as a disclaimer, a brand promise, or both.

Everyone else’s waiver column this week is shouting about the obvious names. This one is about the guy nobody in this league has bothered to click on.

The Pick

Konata Mumpfield, WR, Los Angeles Rams. He’s a free agent in The Family League Part 2 right now, no waiver claim needed, and he’s rostered in just 8.9% of ESPN leagues (up 2.7 points this week). On Sleeper he’s the second-most-added player in the whole app over the last 48 hours. The rest of the country is catching on. We have not.

Here’s why. The Rams’ receiver room has been through a blender. Davante Adams (hamstring) is on IR, Jordan Whittington (back) just joined him, and Puka Nacua (knee) is expected to miss an extended stretch, per RotoBaller. That leaves Mumpfield as arguably the top wideout still standing for Matthew Stafford. He’s already played at least 43% of the snaps in each of his last four games, and the last time Nacua sat, back in Week 3 at Denver, Mumpfield caught four of eight targets for 93 yards and a touchdown (CBS Sports). This week the Rams visit Arizona, and ESPN projects him for 8.8 points.

The honest risk: “top receiver left” is not the same as “target hog.” CBS’s Jamey Eisenberg thinks the Rams lean on their backs and tight ends first, and he actually prefers Tutu Atwell (more on him below). Mumpfield is a flex-level dart in Week 10 with a bigger ceiling if the snaps jump toward 70% the way RotoBaller expects. Stash him first, start him once you’ve seen it.

Meaghan Moineau’s Dish of the Week

Konata Mumpfield is officially this week’s Spiced Pumpkin Muffins. Say “Mumpfield” three times fast and you’re basically ordering one. Like a good muffin, he’s cheap, he’s in season, and he’s best grabbed before somebody else in the house notices he’s there.

Honorable Mentions

• Tutu Atwell, WR, Rams: Same injury logic, same Arizona matchup. Rostered in 10.2% of ESPN leagues (up 4.0), projected 8.9, and he’s CBS’s preferred Rams receiver this week. If you want both halves of the Rams’ leftovers, nobody’s stopping you.
• Darren Waller, TE, Panthers: Caught eight of 10 targets for 90 yards and a touchdown in Week 9 (RotoBaller), with a trip to New Orleans next. Rostered in 20.9% of ESPN leagues (up 5.7) and projected 8.5. Fair warning: he had six targets combined in the three games before that.

The pick gets graded in Tuesday’s recap. A hit earns a “Chef’s Kiss.” A bust is a “Flat Pancake.” Either way, I’ll be there, probably with the wrong defense started.
