Efton Chism III: Efton Chism III a Healthy Scratch in Week 1

New England Patriots rookie wide receiver Efton Chism III is a healthy inactive for the team's Week 1 regular-season opener on Sunday against the Las Vegas Raiders. Chism had a very strong training camp and preseason for the Patriots despite going undrafted back in April. The 23-year-old is certainly worth stashing for the long term in dynasty/keeper formats, but he belongs on the waiver wire for now in all single-year formats. With Chism being a healthy scratch in the first game of the year for the Patriots, they will roll with Stefon Diggs, DeMario Douglas, Kayshon Boutte, Mack Hollins and Kyle Williams in their wideout corps in quarterback Drake Maye's first full season as the starter under center.
