Waiver Wire Express - Week 8 Lightning Round

russell gage fantasy football rankings waiver wire pickups

Week 7 tested the depth charts with six teams on bye and the usual assault of injuries, but you survived! Let's collect ourselves and assess the fantasy landscape moving forward with the Bye-pocalypse in our rear-view mirror. Yes, that means it's time for the waiver wire lightning round heading into Week 8.

This column is published early every week and then updated on a daily basis. Each day of the week will also yield more in-depth waiver wire analysis for all positions. Teams on bye in Week 8: Baltimore and Las Vegas (whew).

Waiver pickups are listed in priority order (in a vacuum) and broken down by position. Players must be rostered in roughly less than 60% of Yahoo leagues and therefore will range from shallow options in standard leagues to deep options in PPR formats.
