Waiver Wire Rankings for Week 8

It isn't the sexiest week for waivers, but there are a lot of teams on bye and some injuries to deal with too. There's always an opportunity to find diamonds in the rough on waivers. This is our priority list for running backs, wide receivers, tight ends and quarterbacks to add.

We always receive a lot of questions of which players to add off the waiver wire, and who to let go of, but are expecting an uptick this week. This is our list of Week 8 waiver wire rankings, and will be updated throughout the week.

It's always a tricky exercise - especially without knowing everyone's league settings, scoring formats, and free agent pool. But hopefully our quick-hit list will help you prioritize your waiver wire moves this week, and set winning lineups.

Be sure to check all of our fantasy football rankings for the 2025 playoffs:
