Our fantasy football waiver wire rankings for Week 9. This is our priority list for running backs, wide receivers, tight ends and quarterbacks to add.
Wow, what a trade deadline. What started off as a relatively slow week on the waiver wire, is turning into a rather explosive one. Let's not forget, there are also a lot of teams with viable fantasy players on bye. The need for streaming players, or adding depth to your team, may be higher than expected with new opportunities being presented.
First of all, we had true breakout performances by Alex Collins and JuJu Smith-Schuster. Ezekiel Elliot is suspended (again) - and it's looking like the real deal this time. Then Jay Ajayi got traded to the Eagles, and Kelvin Benjamin to the Bills. Giddy up.
This is our list of Week 9 waiver wire rankings, and will be updated throughout the week. We always receive a lot of questions of which players to add off the waiver wire, and who to let go of, so we present our priority list for running backs, wide receivers, tight ends and quarterbacks to add.
