Yahoo Sports • • sports

Key Points:

  • Malik Willis of the Dolphins is highlighted as a top quarterback waiver-wire pickup after consecutive strong fantasy performances, benefiting from emerging skill position talent and a favorable upcoming schedule.
  • Running backs Jonah Coleman (Broncos), Kaelon Black (49ers), and Seth McGowan (Colts) are recommended additions due to increased usage, potential starting roles, and favorable schedules; Coleman and Black especially offer upside as backups with starting potential.
  • Wide receivers Omar Cooper Jr. (Jets), Jordyn Tyson (Saints), and Makai Lemon (Eagles) are top waiver targets, with Cooper showing breakout performances, Tyson poised for a strong second half post-injury, and Lemon stepping up amid injuries to key teammates.
  • Tight end Chig Okonkwo (Commanders) and Brenton Strange (Jaguars) are notable tight end pickups due to increased targets and consistent production, making them valuable options especially during bye weeks for other starters.
  • Several streaming options and deep stashes across positions are suggested for Week 8, including quarterbacks Aaron Rodgers and Justin Herbert, running backs Tyler Allgeier and MarShawn Lloyd, wide receivers Xavier Worthy and Chris Godwin Jr., and tight ends Juwan Johnson and Mark Andrews.
