Howdy, RotoBallers, and re-join us for our first glance at the Week 9 fantasy football waiver wire landscape following a gritty Sunday. We serve as a rapid reaction to get critical names on your radar with the week's early performances and injuries to big names such as Kirk Cousins, Matthew Stafford, Drake London, Darren Waller, and more. We're back into the bye weeks, with Denver, Detroit, Jacksonville, and San Francisco off as we hit the waiver wire lightning round heading into Week 9.
This column is published early every week and then updated daily. Each day of the week will also yield more in-depth waiver wire analysis for all positions.
Waiver pickups are listed in priority order (in a vacuum) and broken down by position. Players must be rostered in roughly less than 60% of Yahoo leagues and will range from shallow options in standard leagues to deep options in PPR formats.
