Week 9 Waiver Wire: Get Ready to Bid Up for Difference Makers at RB and WR

Things are starting to get thin, but that does not mean the waiver wire is absent of talent. There are still multiple running backs and wide receivers available in the majority of leagues that could finish inside the top-12 at each position over the rest of the season. The biggest caveat is that we will likely have to pay up in order to make sure that they land on our rosters.

Week 9 Byes:

  • San Francisco 49ers
  • Pittsburgh Steelers

Please join me and Blair Andrews live every Tuesday evening at 9:15 p.m. ET as we talk through the best waiver-wire adds of the week, along with answering every roster management question viewers throw at us!

Before we dive into the players, just a few reminders about how the article is set up:

  • To be included as a potential add, a player must be rostered in 50% or less of ESPN or Yahoo leagues
  • To be mentioned as a potential drop, a player must be rostered in 50% or more of ESPN or Yahoo leagues
  • FAAB recommendations will be given, but also serve as tiers for leagues without FAAB budgets. The rationale behind FAAB recommendations is: If I had $1,000 in FAAB, what is the absolute most I’d be willing to spend on this player?
  • All positional rankings and statistics are taken from RotoViz’s Monday Review tool
