Week 9 Waiver Wire Rankings - Fantasy Football Pickups

Welcome to Week 9 RotoBallers. This week there are four teams and bye, and some major injury situations to deal with, so fantasy managers will be looking to make some important waiver wire pickups and roster changes for Week 9. Just like every other week, we are bringing you our in-depth waiver wire analysis and advice to help you add the best players for your fantasy football rosters. Here's a quick rundown of what's available to you for Week 9:

In case you are not familiar, each and every week we publish various fantasy football waiver wire articles to help you figure out which free agents to grab off the waiver wire. Our incredible team of fantasy football analysts are putting out their waiver wire articles early in the week, and updating them as more news is announced each day. To kick things off, you must read our overall waiver wire article from lead editor Pierre Camus and our waiver wire express lightning round to get a feel for the waiver wire landscape.

If you are in a league with waiver wire blind bidding, check out the FAAB waiver wire article from Nick Mariano who recommends how much of your free agent budget to bid and spend on players when trying to add them off the waiver wire. And then you can take a deeper dive into each position, for more in-depth analysis and recommendations: running backswide receiverstight endsquarterbacksdefenseskickers, IDP leagues and players to consider dropping.

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!

Need a more structured list of who to pickup off waivers? This article is final piece of the weekly waiver wire pickups series, and its goal is to show you our weekly ranking for the relevant waiver wire pickup options including how to prioritize them for your league (depending on the league size). So below you will find the overall rankings list, and below that each individual position in priority order. Hopefully this helps you win your waiver wire this week and bolster your roster for Week 9! Let's get to it.
