Week 9 felt a bit "chalkier" than other recent NFL slates, with many big names going off and very few lower-owned players coming on to vulture touchdowns from the big guns. There also weren't any notable injuries (as of Sunday evening), so the waiver wire will consist more of underappreciated assets rather than replacements. We here at RotoBaller are always looking to get you actionable intel as fast (and as accurately) as possible, so consider this the waiver wire lightning round heading into Week 10.
This column is published early every week and then updated after the MNF game. Each day of the week will also yield other more in-depth waiver wire articles for all positions so be sure to check back.
The below waiver pickups are listed in priority order and broken down by position. Players must be owned in less than 60% of Yahoo leagues and therefore will range from shallow options in standard leagues to deep options in PPR formats.
