Each week, I will bring a brief update on each team, including the latest injury concerns and performances over the past week. This will also include recommendations for potential waiver-wire pickups and suggested FAAB bids. FAAB bids and availability will be based on the FPPC $1000 bankroll. Week eight is in the books. Let’s reason backward to look forward for all 32 teams. Players mentioned as possible waiver wire additions are available in at least 6% of FPPC leagues at this time.
----------------------------------------
----------------------------------------
Arizona Cardinals
Losing the QB didn’t hurt, but this team will be hurting if their best WR doesn’t return fast, even though Mike Wilson had a career game last week.
Possible Waiver Addition: I usually don’t recommend chasing points, but Mike Wilson had such a fantastic volume and points game, he is worth a $25 bid just in case MHJ misses more time.
Atlanta Falcons
Losing Penix and London could even have dire consequences for the RBs going forward.
No Waiver Targets This Week
Baltimore Ravens
Derrick Henry saved the day with Lamar having one of his worst Fantasy games ever.
No Waiver Targets This Week
Buffalo Bills
When the list of players that have accomplished a certain feat only includes you having done it twice and contains one other player from the days before face masks, you know you had a special game. Six TDs for Josh Allen have him leading the Fantasy MVP race.
No Waiver Targets This Week
Carolina Panthers
The first 400-yard game of his career, coming on the road against the tough Atlanta defense, shows that Bryce Young can get the job done on occasion. Don’t look now, but the Panthers have a winning record.
No Waiver Targets This Week
Chicago Bears
The first-place Chicago Bears have a nice ring to it.
No Waiver Target This Week
Cincinnati Bengals
No truth to the rumor that the “Hawktuah Girl” will be part of their marketing plans for their new ticket campaign.
No Waiver Targets This Week
Cleveland Browns
The Shedeur Sanders era in Cleveland might not last long.
No Waiver Targets This Week
Dallas Cowboys
Dak looked like a fine-tuned machine on Monday Night Football.
No Waiver Targets This Week
Denver Broncos
OK, so they beat the Chiefs, so I might need to reconsider calling them a fraud.
Possible Waiver Addition: WR Troy Franklin is starting to get WR1 volume and is worth a $100 bid this week, and he is available in 30% of FPPC leagues.
Detroit Lions
Jared Goff has not performed well outdoors in wind over 12 mph over the past 3 seasons.
No Waiver Targets This Week
Green Bay Packers
After losing their star TE a few weeks ago, they might have lost their star RB for a while, too.
Possible Waiver Addition: Emmanuel Wilson will take over most of the volume from Jacobs at RB, making him a solid $100 bid on FPPC, where he is available in 54% of leagues.
Houston Texans
Davis Mills has looked pretty good in Stroud’s absence, but this team will only be winning with solid defense this season.
No Waiver Targets This Week
Indianapolis Colts
Fantasy Managers will be thrilled to have JT and the rest of the Colts back from their bye week.
No Waiver Targets This Week
Jacksonville Jaguars
The injury to Tuten looked awful, but much like the Black Knight, it was only a flesh wound.
No Waiver Targets This Week
Kansas City Chiefs
I refuse to believe the dynasty window has closed this fast, but this team needs to find a running game.
No Waiver Targets This Week
Las Vegas Raiders
Geno and the retread Seahawks are not a winning combo.
No Waiver Targets This Week
Los Angeles Chargers
This team needed a bye week so badly to regroup and hopefully get some offensive linemen back for the stretch drive.
No Waiver Targets This Week
Los Angeles Rams
Came close to snatching defeat from the jaws of victory last week.
No Waiver Targets This Week
Miami Dolphins
Need to wrap Achane in bubble wrap during their bye week because he is the only hope they have of staying competitive this season.
No Waiver Targets This Week
Minnesota Vikings
At least SKOL fans saw that Darnold threw 4 INTs this week, so JJ didn’t look so bad in comparison.
No Waiver Targets This Week
New England Patriots
Will Coach Vrable continue to trust rookie RB TreyVeon Henderson after his huge performance on prime-time football? Brilliant coaches do bright things, so I am hopeful.
No Waiver Targets This Week
New Orleans Saints
With the trade of Shaheed, this offense will revolve around only Kamara and Olave, so I don’t think there is a WR to target on waivers from the Saints.
No Waiver Targets This Week
New York Giants
It only took one week for the Fantasy Football world to stop wondering why Jameis Winston can’t attract a starting QB job in this league.
No Waiver Targets This Week
New York Jets
The Justin Fields era is over in NY, but could the John Metchie era be starting?
Possible Waiver Addition: John Metchie is worth a $25 bid and is available in 98% of FPPC leagues.
Philadelphia Eagles
The most unhappy first-place team in the NFL right now should have its own Soap Opera called “As the Wings Flap.”
No Waiver Targets This Week
Pittsburgh Steelers
The Mason Rudolph era is about to return, and there probably won’t be much difference in the offense going forward.
Possible Waiver Addition: If you need an emergency start at QB, you could do worse than Rudolph, who is worth a $25 bid this week.
San Francisco 49ers
Brock Purdy’s return seemed to juice up this offense a little for the stretch run.
No Waiver Targets This Week
Seattle Seahawks
Even with four INTs, the Seahawks still had a shot at beating the 49ers with a last-second FG.
No Waiver Targets This Week
Tampa Bay Buccaneers
How much work Sean Tucker retains at RB when Bucky Irving returns is a mystery, along with when or if Bucky will return.
Possible Waiver Addition: RB Sean Tucker is worth a $100 bid this week and is available in 24% of FPPC leagues.
Tennessee Titans
The loss of Calvin Ridley might have made a difference, but this offense has been so weak that it probably won’t have a significant impact.
No Waiver Targets This Week
Washington Commanders
Another team needed a week off to get healthier.
