Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Advice: Players to Add, Stash & Drop (Week 9)
Key Points:
- Rookie running backs Jonah Coleman (Broncos) and Mike Washington Jr. (Raiders) are emerging as valuable fantasy football waiver wire pickups due to increased roles and strong recent performances. Washington has notably supplanted Ashton Jeanty as the Raiders' primary early-down back.
- Tyler Allgeier (Cardinals) delivered a top fantasy RB performance in Week 8 amid injuries to other Arizona backs, making him a strong waiver target for Week 9 as he is still unrostered in nearly half of Yahoo leagues.
- Other notable running back waiver targets include Kaelon Black (49ers), Seth McGowan (Colts), Devin Singletary (Giants), and Kendre Miller (Saints), each with varying upside depending on team situations and injuries.
- Wide receivers Ryan Flournoy (Cowboys), Antonio Williams (Commanders), and Caleb Douglas (Dolphins) are recommended adds due to increased roles and favorable upcoming matchups, while tight ends Terrance Ferguson (Rams) and Mike Gesicki (Bengals) offer streaming value.
- Quarterback streaming options for Week 9 include Malik Willis (Dolphins), Sam Darnold (Seahawks), and J.J. McCarthy (Giants), all benefiting from favorable matchups and recent improved performances.
