Ah yes, calm before the storm. Sunday Game Day is almost here for Week 8 of the NFL and fantasy football season, and we're here to make sure you have all the right players on your rosters. With that, we're releasing our updated late-week fantasy football waiver wire rankings, for those who are still looking to add free agents off the waiver wire.
As the week progresses it's key to check your waiver wire for late-week pickups -- injured players returning, updated news about injured starters who have viable backups, and high-upside bench stashes who may be returning in future weeks.
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. And this is the final piece of the weekly puzzle. Since most leagues run waivers on Tuesday and Wednesday nights, there may be opportunities later in the week to add a player who has slipped through the cracks or just shouldn't be sitting on the waiver wire.

Updated Weekend Waiver Wire Rankings for Week 8
Our goal with this article is to show you our updated weekly rankings for the relevant waiver wire pickup options including how to prioritize them for your league (depending on the league size).
Since there is a cutoff of percent rostered, you will not see popular names and big pickups from earlier in the week, as they have already been scooped up in most leagues and are too widely rostered.
