Week 8 Waiver Wire Rankings - Fantasy Football Pickups

Welcome to Week 8 RotoBallers. This week will be filled with more difficult decisions, and important waiver wire pickups, although it will not compare to last week's bye-pocalypse. Only two teams are on bye in Week 8, but injuries are always a factor. As always, we are here to help you with our waiver wire […]

Week 8 Waiver Wire Pickups & Adds

If you survived the first byepocalypse and emerged with a victory, congratulations. The coming week brings only two teams on bye, so reliance on waivers should be far less and the options slightly more enticing. As always, I will identify as many noteworthy waiver wire targets as possible at every position with a brief explanation of […]

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 7 forced many of us into playing backups thanks to the heavy byes, but with only Baltimore […]

Yes, that means it's time for the waiver wire lightning round heading into Week 8. This column is published […]

Andrus Peat Feared To Have Suffered Torn Pectoral

New Orleans Saints offensive guard Andrus Peat (pectoral) is feared to have suffered a torn pectoral muscle in the Monday night win over the Seattle Seahawks, according to sources. Peat is waiting on MRI results to confirm what would be a season-ending injury. He was only able to play 17 offensive snaps against Seattle before […]

Wil Lutz Done For The Season

New Orleans Saints kicker Wil Lutz (groin) announced on Tuesday that he suffered a setback in his recovery and will shift his focus to being fully healthy for the 2022 season, meaning he will miss the remainder of the 2021 campaign. Brian Johnson made both of his field goals on Monday night in Seattle, one […]

Surprise Fantasy Football Studs, Duds - Real or Mirage?

In Week 7 the Cowboys, Bills, Chargers, Vikings, Steelers and Jaguars were all on bye which means the list of top performers from this week may look a little different. Tua Tagovailoa took advantage of a great matchup against the Falcons to finish as QB-1 on the week while Joe Burrow threw for 416 yards […]

Saints Defense Compiles Five Sacks

The New Orleans Saints defense compiled five sacks in Monday's win over Seattle. The unit limited backup QB Geno Smith to 167 yards and the rushing attack to 90 yards in a low-scoring, rainy affair. This unit has been quite potent this season as it has nine picks and now 13 total sacks on the […]

Tre'Quan Smith Musters One Reception Monday Night

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Tre'Quan Smith mustered only one reception for 11 yards on three targets in Monday's win over Seattle. A lingering hamstring injury from training camp put the WR on Injured Reserve to start the season, and he was finally able to take the field on Monday. Nevertheless, Smith put up a […]

Adam Trautman Loses Fumble

New Orleans Saints tight end Adam Trautman finished with three receptions for 36 yards on three targets in Monday's win over Seattle. Trautman also lost a fumble in the game. The TE has had a disappointing season after much preseason hype about him taking on a bigger role with the Saints lacking pass-catching depth. The […]

Marquez Callaway Manages 32 Yards

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Marquez Callaway managed three receptions for 32 yards on seven targets in Monday's win over Seattle. Callaway came up short compared to the previous two games he played where he had at least 74 yards. Nevertheless, the receiver has been far from consistent this season. The return of Tre'Quan Smith […]

Alvin Kamara Dominates Against Seahawks

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara recorded 20 carries for 51 yards and 10 receptions for 128 yards and one score on 11 targets in Monday's win over Seattle. Kamara simply represented almost all of the Saints' offensive production on Monday night. The back is the most important player on this offense and has […]

Jameis Winston Throws For 222 Yards

New Orleans Saints quarterback Jameis Winston finished 19-for-35 for 222 yards and one touchdown along with eight rushes for 40 yards in Monday's win over the Seahawks. Winston hasn't been as generous with his picks (13 touchdowns to three picks on the season) but he also hasn't been explosive. The QB's highest yardage total this […]

Tre'Quan Smith Activated From IR, Will Play Monday

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Tre'Quan Smith (hamstring), defensive end Marcus Davenport (shoulder) and linebacker Kwon Alexander (elbow) have been activated from Injured Reserve and will play on Monday night against the Seattle Seahawks. It's good news for a Saints receiving corps that will be missing both Michael Thomas (ankle) and Deonte Harris (hamstring) for […]

Wide Receiver Matchups to Target in Week 7

The wide receiver matchup article from last week was a little underwhelming as most of the recommendations underperformed in great spots. On a positive note, Tyreek Hill (WR-12), Brandin Cooks (WR-19) and Ja'Marr Chase (WR-25) each had decent performances. On the downside, D.J. Moore (WR-38) had a whopping 13 targets but only snagged five of them for 73 yards […]

High-Upside Bench Stashes: Week 7

These predictions come with backing to make them somewhat substantiated with the obvious caveat that it's playing into a range of outcomes […]
