Back from the bye week and sliding into Week 9 a little late—but better late than never! We're deep into the season, and every add now can mean the difference between a playoff push and a bottom-dweller finish. Let’s dive in:

🔁 Quarterbacks

🔥 Justin Fields (NYJ)

Fields is finally back to form—finishing as QB12 in Week 8. He’s on a bye this week, so if you need help now, look elsewhere. But if you’re looking ahead, Fields has real upside rest-of-season.

🧨 JJ McCarthy (MIN)

It’s make-or-break time in Minnesota. Carson Wentz is out, and McCarthy is getting the nod. Whether he booms or busts, he’s starting—and that matters in Superflex leagues. Watch him closely.

🎲 Tyler Shough (NOS)

Spencer Rattler was brutal last week, so New Orleans is turning to Shough. It’s a total dart throw, but in a tough bye week, he's at least getting a start—and that makes him a desperation Superflex play.

🏃‍♂️Running Backs

💥 Tyrone Tracy (NYG) With Cam Skattebo out for the season, Tracy gets another shot. He’s next man up, and while it’s unclear how much juice he has, the opportunity alone makes him worth a look in deep leagues.

🚀 RJ Harvey (DEN) RB6 on the week with a 3-TD breakout performance. Still part of a committee, but Harvey has the hot hand—and he may not be on waivers much longer. Go get him.

👀 Dylan Sampson (CLE) Quinshon Judkins is questionable, and if he misses time, Sampson could be the fill-in. Monitor the injury reports and act fast if Judkins sits.

🎯Wide Receivers

🔥 Christian Watson (GB)

Back from the dead? Watson logged 4 catches for 85 yards and looked dangerously close to a breakout. He could be a difference-maker down the stretch if he stays healthy.

📈 Chimere Dike (TEN) Rookie alert! Two solid weeks in a row, and the Titans seem to be scheming more for Dike. He’s trending up and absolutely worth a stash to see if it continues.

💣 Troy Franklin (DEN) Reunited with Bo Nix, and it feels so good. WR1 overall last week—and that Oregon chemistry is translating. He may already be rostered, but if not, this is your top WR add.

✨Tight Ends

🧠 Colston Loveland (CHI)

It’s early, but the signs are there. Loveland is starting to emerge in the Bears’ offense and is worth a hold in TE-premium or deeper formats.

🔚 Final Word

We’re heading into the final stretch of the regular season. These next few waiver wire adds could carry you to the playoffs—or give you key trade leverage. Be aggressive, plan ahead, and manage those bye-week traps.

Back at you next week—good luck, managers!
