Week 9 provided some normalcy after Week 8's injury chaos, but there are still plenty of moves to be made. Playoff pictures are starting to take shape so be honest about needs and address them appropriately. Check RotoBaller often for updates as we bring you an initial waiver wire lightning round heading into Week 9.
This column is published early every week and then updated on a daily basis. Each day of the week will also yield more in-depth waiver wire analysis for all positions to complement our free new Who Should I Pickup for Fantasy Football? waiver wire player comparison tool.
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 therefore will range from shallow options in standard leagues to deep options in PPR formats. Please note Week 9 is a big bye week, with the Broncos, Browns, Cowboys, 49ers, Giants, and Steelers taking off.
Editor's Note: Our incredible team of writers won two writing awards and received 12 award nominations by the Fantasy Sports Writers Association. A big congrats to our very own Byron Lindeque (Golf) and Jordan McAbee (NASCAR) for both winning Writer Of The Year awards! Be sure to follow RotoBaller's analysis and advice all year long, and win more. Win More With RotoBaller!
