Waiver Wire Express - Week 8 Lightning Round Including Gus Edwards, Isiah Pacheco, Malik Willis, Marquise Goodwin

The Week 8 waiver wire pickups & adds lightning round for 2022 fantasy football. Our free agent list includes Gus Edwards, Isiah Pacheco, Malik Willis, Marquise Goodwin & more.

Night falls on the chaotic Sunday that was Week 8 and we are here with our rapid waiver reaction piece for you. There were plenty of injuries to track, as Amon-Ra St. Brown, DK Metcalf, Mike Williams, Breece Hall, Allen Lazard, David Njoku, Chuba Hubbard, Ryan Tannehill, and more went down. Check RotoBaller often for updates as we bring you an initial waiver wire lightning round heading into Week 8.

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 8 is a lighter bye week, with the Chiefs and Chargers taking off.
