Fantasy football waiver wire: Week 9 free-agent forecast

Here are the top waiver wire targets in fantasy football for Week 9.

With the fantasy football season entering its second half, the waiver wire remains arguably the most important tool to make that push for the playoffs.

After having a full slate of games last week, only two teams are on a bye in Week 9: the San Francisco 49ers and Pittsburgh Steelers.

We’ll be taking a look at the top available players rostered in Yahoo, using the 75% rostered mark (at least 25% availability) as the threshold. If you have any questions about prioritizing a certain player over another, don’t be afraid to hit me up on X, formerly Twitter, (@KevinHickey11). Your questions and comments are always welcome!

We also will be taking a look at some deeper players to stash and the top streaming options for the upcoming week.

Fantasy football waiver wire recommendations refer to 12-team league formats, unless specifically stated.

Check back for any updates throughout Monday and Tuesday as more injury news becomes available.
