waiver wire

It is now Week 8, and some fantasy owners may be surprised the season has gone on this long. Others may think that it has flown by. Others may be looking at their rosters and feeling frustrated. It's been a tough season in terms of injuries, postponements, and coaches not telling anyone that they are going to "rest" a player in a week that fantasy owners started him (Jerick McKinnon, anyone?). It's always tough to be a fantasy owner, but the key is to accurately assess your roster.

Fantasy owners are likely having a hard time with the NFL season in 2020. For example, instead of the week getting wrapped up on Monday, there's still one game left to be played. The Buffalo-Tennessee game has been up in the air and everyone is hoping it happens on Tuesday night, but that's still in question.

Thankfully for fantasy owners, Week 3 wasn't nearly as much of a bloodbath as Week 2. There were some injuries, as there will be, but two of the top running backs did not end up on injured reserve after this week, so it's a good week.

Week 1 is in the books, and fantasy football owners enjoyed a week of football, bad start/sit decisions, and injuries. It's time to look to the waiver wire as some players were injured and others may not be as promising as they were on draft day.

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.
