waiver wire

The fantasy football waiver wire for Week 9 has some interesting names. Four teams are on a bye this week leading up to six teams on a bye in Week 10. Fantasy owners should be looking at their teams and looking ahead to the next two weeks to see what they might need. The players on this list are some options, but at this point, filling out a roster is equally as important.

Somehow, the fantasy football season is heading into Week 7. For those that start the fantasy playoffs in Week 14, this is the mid-point of the season.

Thankfully, the quarterback injuries were kept to a minimum in Week 3, but fantasy football owners still need to look to the waiver wire. Saquon Barkley suffered a high ankle sprain, which is going to send his owners looking for a replacement. T.Y. Hilton looks to miss some time with a quad injury, and many fantasy owners are still reeling from the Week 2 injuries. The bye weeks are also beginning.

In Week 16, fantasy owners are looking to put together the best possible lineup with the pieces that they have left of their roster. By this point of the season, many of the players originally drafted are no longer on fantasy rosters.

Whether it is because they are injured or just underperforming, fantasy owners should take a long look at the waiver wire to see if there is anyone out there that may lead their fantasy team to a championship.

Fantasy owners playing in Week 14 are either in their fantasy playoffs (congrats!) or the last week of their fantasy season. At this point, don’t just take a chance on someone if it means dropping a better player from your roster. Pick up a player that will help you this week, because you don’t know if you’ll be playing in Week 15 (unless you have a bye for Week 14, of course). Another strategy is picking up a player that you may not start but you don’t want to play against.
