Week 8 Waiver Wire Pickups

October 27, 2020 by Greg Brosh

Injuries are helping teams stay in contention for the fantasy playoffs while simultaneously knocking others out. We're loaded for the week 8 pickups, here we go!

QUARTERBACKS

  1. Joe Burrow (QB, CIN) - I'm about to start this guy in the right matchups regardless of what Matt Ryan is doing.
  2. Teddy Bridgewater (QB, CAR) - Mr. Consistency (and two gloves) is just what the doctor ordered. Great pickup versus Atlanta in week 8.
  3. Derek Carr (QB, LV) - With last season's back injuries all cleared up he has been consistently putting up honorable fantasy points.

RUNNING BACKS

Here are my waiver wire RB's in order of priority:

  1. JaMycal Hasty (RB, SF)
  2. Chase Edmonds (RB, AZ) and if he is already taken you should stash Eno Benjamin.
  3. Carlos Hyde (RB, SEA)
  4. Giovani Bernard (RB, CIN)

WIDE RECEIVERS

Here are my waiver wire WR's in order of priority:

  1. Sterling Shepard (WR, NYG)
  2. Brandon Aiyuk (WR, SF)

  4. Corey Davis (WR, TEN)
  5. Rashard Higgins (WR, CLE)
  6. Randall Cobb (WR, HOU)
