Week 9 Waiver Wire Pickups
Players available in 25-50% of leagues
Jamaal Williams– RB- Green Bay Packers
Devin Singletary– RB – Buffalo Bills
Devin Singletary is available still in 35% of fantasy leagues and is picking up steam in the Bills offense. Now that he’s healthy Singletary is being used more in the offense with 7 touches two weeks straight. While this doesn’t seem like a lot it’s trending in the right direction and worth a buy and stash.
DK Metcalf- Seattle Seahawks
Somehow the world hasn’t caught on to DK Metcalf being good yet. The wide receiver 31 on the season is available in 36% of leagues. Metcalf has double-digit fantasy scores in 5 of 7 weeks and we are just seeing the tip of the iceberg with him. If you are lucky enough to see him out there, blow your FAAB.
Mohammed Sanu- WR- New England Patriots
Robby Anderson– WR- New York Jets
Players available in more than 75% of leagues
Ryan Tannehill-QB- Tennessee Titans
Tannehill now has back to back games with 19 fantasy points and has nice matchups against Carolina and Kansas City the next two weeks, he becomes a streaming option you can sit on.
– RB- San Francisco 4934s

In the inexplicable case of the Dolphins tanking they decided to use Mark Walton this week. What really stood out in is production is his use in the pas game where he caught 5 balls for 43 yards. Walton could be a sneaky PPR stash for upcoming weeks.
Alexander Mattison– RB – Minnesota Vikings
Mark Walton- RB- Miami Dolphins
Trey Edmunds– RB – Pittsburgh Steelers
Injuries to James Conner and Benny Snell left Edmunds as the only back left on the Steelers roster. While Conner may be back this week Edmunds could be worth a stash for if anything happens. If given the opportunity the Steelers offense is run-heavy enough to give him some value.
Tra Carson– RB-Detroit Lions
Derrius Guice-RB-Washington Redskins
It seems the world lost hope in a Derrius Guice come back and he’s available in 70% of leagues. The former second-round pick is an electric ball carrier who could be a league-winning pick up if he’s 100%. If he is out there feel confident spending 50% of your FAAB on him.
DeVante Parker– WR- Miami Dolphins
Auden Tate– WR- Cincinnati Bengals
Auden Tate continues to soak up targets in Cinci. Week 8 he had a season-high 13targets. The production didn’t quite matchup this time but this type of volume will catch up and he should reap the benefits. Tate is also in the top ten in the league in RedZone targets which also is a boost to his value.
Hunter Renfrow– WR- Oakland Raiders
Josh Reynolds– WR – Los Angeles Rams
Brandin Cooks now has concussion number 2 on the season and could miss significant time. Even with Kupp and Woods there Reynolds has a unique skillset with his size which will get him volume, especially in the RedZone.
Diontae Johnson– WR- Pittsburgh Steelers
The rookie for Pittsburgh keeps slashing big-play ability for Pittsburgh and is gaining a report with Mason Rudolph. Johnson converted 5 of 7 targets for 85 yards and a touchdown against Miami. What makes this even more promising is that in the first half of the game Pittsburgh’s offense was lifeless, once it heated up Johnson saw his targets shoot up.
Danny Amendola– WR – Detroit Lions
Chris Conley– WR- Jacksonville Jaguars
Darius Slayton– WR- New York Giants
Cole Beasley– WR – Buffalo Bills
Darren Fells-TE- Houston Texans
Jonnu Smith– TE- Tennessee Titans
The Titans offense has changed drastically over the last two weeks with an injury to Delanie Walker and Ryan Tannehill taking over at QB. The person who has benefitted the most has been Jonnu Smith. He now has back to back games with over 60 yards receiving, with his last game being targeted 7 times. Smith could be a tight end you can feel comfortable starting week in and week out.
