Hello, RotoBallers, and welcome back for our early look at the Week 8 fantasy football waiver wire landscape following another action-packed Sunday. We serve as a rapid reaction to get key names on your radar with the week's early performances and injuries to big names such as Bijan Robinson, Deshaun Watson, Christian Watson, Jerome Ford, and more. At least this upcoming week has all 32 teams playing so we have plenty of options among the waiver wire lightning round heading into Week 8.
This column is published early every week and then updated daily. Each day of the week will also yield more in-depth waiver wire analysis for all positions.
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 will range from shallow options in standard leagues to deep options in PPR formats.
