Week 8 Waiver Wire Rankings - Fantasy Football Pickups Include: Darrell Henderson Jr., Rashee Rice, Josh Downs, Taysom Hill

Darrell Henderson Jr. - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

Welcome back, RotoBallers! After an action-packed slate of Sunday's NFL games, Week 8 has arrived. Last week is officially in the books with Monday night's game between the 49ers and Vikings is completed. It's that time again to start researching which waiver wire pickups will best help your fantasy teams. Determining who to add in a given week is crucial, especially during the fantasy season's halfway point. We are here to sort it out and help fantasy managers prioritize the best waiver wire adds with our Week 8 fantasy football waiver wire rankings for the 2023 NFL season. 

Let's see where D'Onta Foreman, Rashee Rice, Chuba Hubbard, Darrell Henderson Jr., Royce Freeman, Jauan Jennings, Emari Demercado, Josh Downs, Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Taysom Hill, Jake Bobo, Joshua Palmer, Devin Singletary, Kendrick Bourne, Dalton Kincaid, Logan Thomas, Dalton Schultz, Jordan Mason, Elijah Mitchell, Roschon Johnson, and Jonathan Mingo rank in Week 8.

Each week, our NFL team puts out a complete array of fantasy football waiver wire articles to compliment our slick new Who Should I Pickup? Waiver wire player comparison tool. Here is a quick rundown of our articles. First up is our overall waiver wire article by Robert Lorge and the famous waiver wire express article compliments of Nick Mariano. These give a nice overview of the waiver wire pickup options each week. Then we look at FAAB waiver wire bidding recommendations from Nick Mariano as well. We also dig deeper for each position with individual waiver wire articles: running backswide receiverstight endsquarterbacksdefenseskickers, IDP leagues, and players to consider dropping.
