Hunter Henry is just getting started, and if you’re still sleeping on the Patriots tight end, Week 8 might be the week that wakes you up. Four straight games with double-digit fantasy production, a growing connection with Drake Maye, and a Dolphins defense that struggles against tight ends? That’s the kind of matchup fantasy managers […]

Jadarian Price is not expected to miss the rest of the 2026 season. Seattle Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald said Monday that the rookie will return to practice ahead of Week 8 after four games out with a chest injury. Don't count on Price against the Chicago Bears on Monday, November 2, even though he […]

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Alec Pierce (heel) is currently on injured reserve due to a heel injury he suffered in Week 2. It was the result of him working his way back too quickly from an offseason ankle surgery. He rushed back to practice and play despite not being fully healthy. He was placed on […]

De'Zhaun Stribling is not ruled out for the season. San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said Monday that he still hopes the rookie wide receiver can return in December after ankle surgery. Stribling has little immediate redraft appeal, though he has a chance to contribute late in 2026. San Francisco is on its Week […]

Bucky Irving is proving that his recent fantasy football production is no fluke, and I’m buying into the role just as much as the results. After back-to-back explosive performances, Irving has established himself as a legitimate top-12 running back, and his consistent workload suggests there’s plenty more to come. Meanwhile, Jonathan Taylor managers need to […]

RotoBaller drops our top fantasy football Week 8 waiver wire pickups for the 2026 season for RB, WR, TE, and QB. This week, managers saw several backfields shift as a potential rookie could be leading the charge in Denver, while the former No. 3 running back in the desert could have fully claimed the lead […]

Omar Cooper Jr. is a priority if he's still available after following his first 100-yard game with another Sunday. Caleb Douglas delivered a big fantasy score, catching both of the Miami Dolphins' touchdown passes in his return from an ankle injury. Antonio Williams had the weekend off, but the Washington Commanders' loss of Terry McLaurin […]

Jonah Coleman is the first name I'd target from this group. He returned from an ankle injury Sunday and gave the Denver Broncos a reason to expand his workload. Kaelon Black is insurance for Christian McCaffrey managers heading into the San Francisco 49ers' bye. Seth McGowan's workload reached a season high with 12 touches Sunday, […]

Bam Knight has the strongest immediate lineup case in this group, provided Jeremiyah Love misses another week. He has led the Arizona Cardinals in rushing in consecutive games while Love has been sidelined. Samaje Perine scored Sunday but saw his workload shrink sharply from his previous game. Mike Washington Jr. remains an interesting backup behind […]

Matchups matter, and in Week 8, I’m putting that theory to the test with a quarterback landscape that offers some major opportunities—and a few traps fantasy managers need to avoid. Kyler Murray has a matchup worth getting excited about, and if you’ve been waiting for the right week to trust him, this could be your […]

Week 7 showed the impact of the waiver wire, especially at wide receiver. Omar Cooper Jr. stole the spotlight with another huge game, looking like an early waiver-wire league winner who could make a major impact down the stretch. That's the beauty of the waiver wire. Players who weren't even on the fantasy radar a […]

Week 7 brought fantasy managers some impressive production from names that have struggled with consistency to start the 2026 season. Four quarterbacks (Bo Nix, Drake Maye, Joe Burrow, and Malik Willis) scored more than 28.0 fantasy points. Another four (Geno Smith, Caleb Williams, Michael Penix Jr., and Kirk Cousins) had more than 20.0. Regardless of […]

Hey, RotoBallers! Happy Halloween to those celebrating this week. We are nearing the end of October, and the dust has begun to settle with nearly a month of hockey played. Fantasy managers are starting to identify potential breakout candidates and are growing concerned about many underperforming stars. However, while it's often more exciting to discuss […]

Many of you have been confronted by an escalating number of injuries at running back. This has combined with disappointing performances from other backs to create roster dilemmas as you plan for your matchups in Week 8. The emergence of an impactful four-team bye week will also demand attention as players from the Giants, Saints, […]

The Texans, Saints, Giants, and 49ers have a bye this week, giving fantasy managers plenty of hurdles to clear to set a strong lineup, on top of the ever-growing injury list. Luckily, for the most part, we made it out of Week 7 mostly unscathed, Monday Night's game notwithstanding. Knock on wood. The waiver wire […]

Week 8 is here whether you're ready or not, and it brings yet another four-team bye that sees top legs like Ka'imi Fairbairn and Eddy Pineiro take a breather. Regardless of your attitude towards stashing a bye-week kicker away, many of us will be forced to dump them for other reinforcements across the roster. We […]

We're at the point in the season where a player's name value and where you drafted them no longer matter. You are now whoever you've shown yourself to be over the first seven weeks. The other stuff is no longer a selling point. It's no longer a consideration. Plenty of big names made the Cut […]

No George Kittle. No Isaiah Likely. No Juwan Johnson. No Dalton Schultz. Week 8 might be a week where you need a tight end for your fantasy football squad. With four solid-to-great tight ends on bye this week, fantasy footballers are going to be scouring their league’s waiver wires like Black Friday shoppers scour the […]

For most, Week 8 signals the halfway point of the fantasy football season. Whether your team started hot or has disappointed, you still have plenty of time to fortify your roster and make a playoff push. Navigating injuries and bye weeks is crucial to fantasy success.

Who Should I Pickup?
