In a year filled with impactful injuries, Week 8 will be remembered as the QB apocalypse. Several quarterbacks were lost on Sunday and their absences will have a huge impact on fantasy football. However, all is not lost. The Fantasy Football Waiver Wire: Week 9 will guide you through what should be a competitive free-agent run.

Also, be aware of the teams that are off this week.

Week 9 Byes: Denver, Detroit, Jacksonville, San Francisco

FAAB denotes Free Agent Acquisition Budget

Chuba Hubbard (RB) Carolina Panthers (15% FAAB) – If you weren’t proactive and added Hubbard last week while the Panthers were on a bye, the price has gone up. Hubbard dominated snaps on Sunday, playing 67% of the time and out-touching Miles Sanders 17-2.

Trey McBride (TE) Arizona Cardinals (13% FAAB) – The overall TE1 for Week 8, McBride racked up 10 grabs for 95 yards and a touchdown against Baltimore. McBride entered the game with just 15 receptions, so we definitely can’t rely on that kind of volume weekly. But, McBride has accumulated 25 targets over the last three weeks. As long as Zach Ertz remains sidelined, McBride should be viewed as a weekly fantasy TE1 and warranted a strong FAAB offer.

Sam Howell (QB) Washington Commanders (12% FAAB) – Howell has outscored Justin Herbert this season. Chances are he’s already rostered in your league. However, if people aren’t paying attention or are wary of Howell’s highs and lows, he should be the top QB priority.

Will Levis (QB) Tennessee Titans (10% FAAB) – What a debut. Levis perpetrated the greatest game in NFL history for…

It’s hard to believe the 2023 campaign is now halfway over. The inaugural half ended with a whimper, with six teams on bye and decreased scoring. However, no teams have a bye in Week 8, so scoring should improve. The playoff drive starts Thursday. Let’s see what FullTime‘s Fantasy Football Waiver Wire: Week 8 additions we can target to improve our postseason odds.

FAAB denotes Free Agent Acquisition Budget

Josh Downs (WR) Indianapolis Cotls (25% FAAB) – Over his last three games, Downs has out-scored Michael Pittman. Downs has developed a solid rapport with Garnder Minshew. However, Downs has been producing all season. He’s played 75.8% of Indianapolis’s snaps and boats a 20.1% target rate. Downs is now WR25 for the season but is still widely available on waiver wires. Prepare to bid high. Also, keep Alec Pierce (1% FAAB) in mind as a low-price option.

Darrell Henderson (RB) Los Angeles Rams (20 % FAAB) – Welcome back to the league, Hendo! Days after being signed as a free agent, Henderson re-debuted with the Rams and led the backfield in Week 7. Henderson played 57% of LA’s snaps and out-touched Royce Freeman (7% FAAB) 19-12. Kyren Williams went to IR last week. Subsequently, Henderson has RB2/3 upside for the next three games. Or as long as he can hold onto the nominal starting gig.

Chuba Hubbard (RB) Carolina Panthers (15% FAAB) – Hubbard was one of my top adds last week. However, with Carolina on bye, he may have slipped through the cracks. Miles Sanders was already losing snaps to Hubbard. Also, Sanders missed Week 6 with a shoulder injury. Sanders has underperformed in 2023 and was already losing…
