Another weekend of NFL action means another slew of injuries.
On the running back front, the Los Angeles Rams had to find a replacement for Kyren Williams after placing the fantasy gem on injured reserve. On Sunday, Darrell Henderson was L.A.’s top back, although Royce Freeman was also mixed in.
Henderson and Freeman are both worth claiming, but Henderson seems like the better option while Williams is sidelined.
In related RB injury news, Cleveland Browns running back Jerome Ford suffered an ankle injury in Week 7, creating more snaps for Pierre Strong. Kareem Hunt might see an uptick in his workload as well, but Strong should be a priority target this week.
We’ve put together a list of 10 of our favorite waiver wire targets to claim ahead of Week 8, whith options at running back, wide receiver, quarterback and tight end.
