Week 9 Waiver Wire Pickups & Adds

As we enter the second half of the fantasy regular season, all eyes will be on the news wire as the trade deadline approaches.

Deeper League Free Agent Pickups for Week 9

Whether your fantasy team is sitting pretty at 7-1 or is still clawing toward contention at 3-5, you shouldn't neglect the waiver wire.

We Must Overreact Immediately! Week 8 Outliers

Week 8 didn't offer too many surprises for the most part. There were, however, a few players that registered multiple-touchdown performances which elevated them up the ranks, such as Aaron Jones (2 TD), Tevin Coleman (4 TD), Latavius Murray (2 TD) and Mike Evans (2 TD). For the most part, the players that scored multiple […]

Wide Receiver Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 9

We're heading into the ninth week of NFL football now. Time flies and all that, right? Week 8 was one of those weeks where it can be hard to watch football, as the matchups weren't great and the best teams kept winning and anyone who had to play against Tevin Coleman had a really bad […]

Quarterback Waiver Wire Pickups and Streamers - Week 9

We have no new major quarterback injuries as of writing this, but the injuries from past weeks have really thinned out the waiver wire for those of us who stream quarterbacks.

Waiver Wire Express - Week 9 Lightning Round

With eight weeks gone, that means over 60% of the regular fantasy season is over. Are you still with us? 8-0 teams are looking ahead to playoff matchups while 2-6 teams are looking for the 7-6 Wild Card spot. The upcoming bye week means no Bengals, Falcons, Rams or Saints -- so many of you […]

Preston Williams Does Little on Monday Night

Keeping with the theme of his team, Miami Dolphins wide receiver Preston Williams did little to help his fantasy owners on Monday night, finishing with just 42 yards on four receptions in a 27-14 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. All four of Williams receptions came in the first half, with his last catch of the […]

Mark Walton Ineffective in Loss

After starting his last three games, and with teammate Kenyan Drake being traded to the Arizona Cardinals, Miami Dolphins running back Mark Walton had an opportunity to claim the backfield for himself in a Monday night matchup with the Pittsburgh Steelers. This claim ended up mostly empty as Walton finished with only 35 yards on […]

Devante Parker Held Scoreless on Monday Night

After scoring touchdowns in three-straight games, Miami Dolphins wide receiver Devante Parker was kept out of the end zone in Monday's 27-13 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. Targeted a team-high eight times, Parker finished with 59 yards on six receptions, with his longest completion going for 15 yards. Along with many of his now-departed teammates, […]

Ryan Fitzpatrick Helps Keep Miami Winless

After leading 14-0 early in a Monday night matchup with the Pittsburgh Steelers, Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick righted the ship for the remaining three quarters, throwing two interceptions and fumbling twice. The veteran signal caller's sub-par play propelled the Dolphins to their seventh-straight loss and kept them in the catbird seat for the first […]

Kenyan Drake Traded To The Arizona Cardinals

Former Miami Dolphins running back Kenyan Drake was shipped out on Monday morning to the Arizona Cardinals in exchange for a sixth-round draft pick that could be turned into a fifth-round draft pick. Drake had been the leading rusher for the Dolphins, but he hadn't made the trip with the team ahead of their Monday […]

Week 8 Start/Sit: Monday Night Football Matchups Analysis

Unfortunately, it is back to another terrible Monday night game. Not only do we need to deal with Booger McFarland and his commentary, but we need to do so while watching the Dolphins.
