Isiah Pacheco - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Rookies

Fantasy football waiver wire rankings for Week 9 of the 2022 NFL season. Top free agent options to add off waivers, and our rankings will help you prioritize.

Welcome to Week 9 RotoBallers, and another round of waiver wire pickups! We have seen new injuries emerge for fantasy football and players who may be breaking out. As you consider who to pickup for your rosters, as always we're here to help you sift through it.

Each week our NFL team puts out a complete array of fantasy football waiver wire articles, to compliment our slick new Who Should I Pickup? waiver wire player comparison tool. Here is a quick rundown of our articles. Our fantasy football waiver wire articles get published on Mondays and Tuesdays each week. First up is our overall waiver wire article by Robert Lorge, and the famous waiver wire express lightning round compliments of Nick Mariano. These give a nice overview of the waiver wire pickup options each week.

If you're in a league with FAAB waivers (blind bids), our top-notch FAAB waiver wire article by Nick Mariano is a must-read. He lists the players to target off the waiver wire, and how much of your remaining FAAB budget to spend. In addition to these articles, we also dig deeper for each position with individual waiver wire articles: running backswide receiverstight endsquarterbacksdefenseskickers, IDP leagues and players to consider dropping.
