Week 9 Waiver Wire Pickups & Adds

The NFL Trade Deadline is almost here, so many players who wouldn't otherwise have fantasy relevance may jump up in value. I won't list every possible player below but RBs like Marlon Mack, Ronald Jones, Ty'Son Williams, Salvon Ahmed, and Trey Sermon should be monitored closely up until the deadline. The coming week also returns […]

FAAB Waiver Wire Bidding - Week 9 Targets

Alongside our famous waiver wire pickups list, and our weekly waiver wire columns by position, this column focuses on suggested waiver wire bidding percentages for fantasy football owners in leagues using a Free Agent Acquisition Budget (FAAB). Week 8 brought plenty of curveballs to throw our way, from the myriad injuries to the Jets somehow […]

Michael Florio's Deeper-League Waiver Wire Adds for Week 9: Taysom Hill, Derrick Gore, Jeremy McNichols, Adrian Peterson

The trade deadline is now behind us. The roster shakeups may be complete for NFL teams (barring any signings), but it never stops for our fantasy football teams. The grind never stops -- especially for those in deeper leagues who typically are upset when reading waiver wire articles, because many of the players listed in […]

The Cut List – Who To Drop for Week 9?

I feel the need to come clean on two players who have finally made my cut list – and one of them comes with an asterisk. I have been hesitant to include Odell Beckham Jr. or Allen Robinson on the Cut List despite their extremely poor play and I think I need to explain why. When […]

Top Running Back Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 9: Boston Scott, Mark Ingram, Jaret Patterson, Jeff Wilson Jr.

After eight weeks of the regular season, some of you have been able to embrace the numbers that have been assembled by the running backs that are contained on your rosters. Unfortunately, an increasing number of you have been negatively impacted by injuries to your backs, while others have contended with disappointing output due to a […]

Another week of NFL action is behind us. Are there any players left on the waiver wire wasteland? Let's find out. Below, you'll find some wideouts that you should be targeting on the waiver wire ahead of Week 9. Not all options are the same. Some players may be better in PPR or deeper leagues, […]

Top Tight End Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 9: Pat Freiermuth, C.J. Uzomah, Evan Engram, Mo Alie-Cox

The tight end herd on fantasy football waiver wires is thinning out as the season wears on. Millions of fantasy football managers have gaping holes they need plugged at the tight end position this week. Green Bay’s Robert Tonyan tore his ACL and is out for the season, which is terrible timing for those who […]

Waiver Wire Express - Week 9 Lightning Round

Well, Week 8 once again reminded us that nothing is certain in the NFL as the Jets beat the Bengals for a full dose of spooky on Halloween. There were also several in-game injuries and pregame pivots from Dak Prescott, Calvin Ridley, and more. Gather yourselves and let's dive into the waiver wire lightning round […]

Surprise Fantasy Football Studs, Duds - Real or Mirage?

In Week 8 we witnessed a few unfamiliar names register QB1 performances. Mike White finished as QB-2 in his first career start, Justin Fields seemed to have turned a corner to finish as QB-5 and Geno Smith took advantage of a great matchup against a bad Jaguars defense to finish as QB-8. Josh Allen, Jimmy […]

Jaguars Claim Devine Ozigbo Off Waivers

The Jacksonville Jaguars claimed running back Devine Ozigbo off waivers from the New Orleans Saints on Monday. Ozigbo spent the last two seasons with the Jaguars, so he will return home with lead back James Robinson (ankle) suffering a minor ankle injury in the Week 8 loss to the Seattle Seahawks. The 25-year-old carried the […]

Host Anthony Aniano of RotoBaller Radio discusses the 2021 fantasy football season and keeps you updated with all the latest news and analysis as he discuses the fantasy football season by breaking down the waiver wire for each position. Today he takes a look at some players  to consider adding off the waiver wire. Be sure […]

James Robinson Avoids Serious Injury

Jacksonville Jaguars running back James Robinson (foot) avoided a serious injury and will be considered day-to-day, leaving his status for Week 9 against the Buffalo Bills in question. If he is to be held out of action, Carlos Hyde will take over as the starter and should have a significant role, albeit against an extremely […]

Dan Arnold Leads Team In Receiving Against Seattle

Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Dan Arnold led the team in receiving in a 31-7 Week 8 loss to the Seattle Seahawks, catching eight of his 10 targets for 68 yards. Arnold led the team in receiving for the second time in three games and he's quietly established himself as one of Jacksonville's top options in […]

Marvin Jones Jr. Manages Just 35 Receiving Yards In Week 8

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Marvin Jones Jr. caught five of seven targets for 35 yards in the team's 31-7 blowout loss to Seattle. Jones strangely finished fourth on the team in targets and never got going after dropping a key third-down pass that would've moved the chains. It was a frustratingly mediocre fantasy performance from […]

Laviska Shenault Jr. Invisible In Week 8 Loss

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Laviska Shenault Jr. managed just two catches for 13 yards in an embarrassing 31-7 loss against Seattle. Shenault dropped multiple passes and once again struggled to create separation while primarily lining up outside as opposed to in the slot. The second-year wideout has now scored more than 10 PPR points in […]

Jamal Agnew Records Six Receptions Against Seattle

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Jamal Agnew caught six of 12 targets for 38 yards in the team's 31-7 blowout loss at the hands of the Seattle Seahawks. While it was positive to see Agnew peppered with targets, his 50 percent catch rate was tough to stomach. The former special teams standout once again operated as […]

Trevor Lawrence Mediocre In Blowout Loss

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence went 32-for-54 with 238 yards, one touchdown, and one interception in the team's 31-7 blowout loss to the Seattle Seahawks in Week 8. The rookie didn't chip in much on the ground either, rushing for just 11 yards in the game. While Lawrence certainly didn't play great, he was under […]

James Robinson Questionable To Return Against Seattle

Jacksonville Jaguars running back James Robinson (ankle) is questionable to return in his Week 8 matchup against the Seattle Seahawks. Robinson had four rushes for 22 yards and one catch for 17 before leaving. Obviously, this is not good news whatsoever, but only time will tell the severity of this injury. If Robinson doesn't return […]
