Waiver Wire Rankings: Week 8

By Bob Miller

 

Week 7 was action packed. It was filled with players trades and more significant injuries, which will force some fantasy football managers into making waiver wire moves this week. Let's take a look at some key injuries:

NYJ: Breece Hall (torn ACL) out for remainder of season

SEA: DK Metcalf (knee) could miss Week 8

LAC: Mike Williams (ankle) to miss multiple weeks

DEN: Mike Boone (ankle) out for remainder of season

NYG: Daniel Bellinger (eye) to miss multiple weeks.

CLE: David Njoku (ankle) to miss 2-5 weeks

 

Now let's check my Week 8 Waiver Wire Rankings:

Gus Edwards is number one on the list and should be owned across all formats. Spending a good chunk of your FAAB for the RB1 in a high powered run-first offense is a no-brainer. Other players that I'm targeting this week are Wan'Dale Robinson, D'Onta Foreman, and Parris Campbell. Good luck this week! I hope you get the players you need.
