It's been a fun week of NFL action, with plenty of high-scoring players that are available in plenty of leagues. There's always an opportunity to add fantasy football risers to your teams, especially with more bye weeks coming. So let's get to it.
This is your waiver wire lightning round, looking towards Week 9 waiver wire pickups. The recommended players to add are listed in priority order, and broken down by position. Players must be owned in roughly less than 60% of Yahoo leagues and therefore will range from shallow options in standard leagues to deep options in PPR formats.
This column is published early every week and then updated throughout. Good luck on the waiver wire!
