Waiver Hub – Week 9

Happy Tuesday, Mike here, welcome back to my weekly Waiver HUB. Follow me on Twitter (@FantasyHubbard) for all things fantasy football throughout the season. 

Last night the Steelers took down the Giants on MNF by a score of 26-18. Stand out performances were Najee Harris rushing for 114 yards, Tyron Tracy Jr rushing for 145 yards and a TD, and Darius Slayton racked up 108 receiving yards. Both kickers had 4 field goals apiece. The 6-2 Steelers have their BYE week next while the 2-6 Giants face the 6-2 Commanders next.

It is time to make some moves and prepare for fantasy post season greatness. Injuries are inevitable so here is another chance to hit the waiver wire and get impactful players. Another week gone, another opportunity to make your team stronger and inch your way to that league trophy and an offseason of bragging rights. 

Below are my top waiver wire priorities this week. Go get those available players to help your chances at a championship. Good luck this week and remember to check back every week to stay informed on who you could target off of waivers.

TOP PRIORITY OF THE WEEK

Matthew Stafford – LA Rams

Stafford started off week 8 with an upset victory over the Minnesota Vikings on TNF. He threw for 4 passing TDs and had 279 passing yards. Stafford had not had even 2 passing TDs in a game all season before last Thursday. What makes Stafford appealing now is the health of his arsenal around him. Stafford now has a healthy Puka Nacua and Cooper Kupp. 12 of his 25 completions went to the duo of WRs and they accounted for 157 of his 279 passing yards. The Rams get the Seahawks next which could be another good matchup for Stafford and his weapons.
