Waiver Wire Express - Week 9 Lightning Round

Week 8 brought an action-packed week with its own batch of chaos, but any week without COVID-19 postponements feels like a win. Key injuries included George Kittle (ankle), Jimmy Garoppolo (ankle), T.Y. Hilton (groin), Kenny Golladay (hip), Tevin Coleman (knee), Darrell Henderson (thigh), Adam Humphries (concussion). Week 8 has these teams on bye: Bengals, Browns, Eagles, and Rams. Let's get to those waiver wire lightning round heading into Week 9.

This column is published early every week and then updated on a daily basis. 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 therefore will range from shallow options in standard leagues to deep options in PPR formats.
