Week 8 was devastating for quarterback injuries. Kirk Cousins likely tore his Achilles tendon, Kenny Pickett is hurt, even Tyrod Taylor (the Giants backup) went down causing Tommy Devito to get his first NFL touchdown. In addition to QB options, who are the best waiver wire options for Week 9 fantasy football?<\/p>\n

This is mainly for Superflex leagues but Will Levis looks like everything the Titans dreamed about when they selected him in the second round. His cannon of an arm was on full display en route to a four TD performance against Atlanta. If he\u2019s on waivers in Superflex leagues (currently 7% rostered on Sleeper) he\u2019s a must add player. Even in 1QB leagues with bye weeks for Brock Purdy Jared Goff Trevor Lawrence and Russell Wilson, Levis is a high upside play against Pittsburgh\u2019s struggling pass defense. Levis secured the job with Tannehill now involved in trade rumors<\/a> across the league.<\/p>\n Admittedly Howell has a higher order of precedence but is lower on this list because he should already be rostered in most leagues. He\u2019s currently the QB8 on the season, and that\u2019s including his stinker against the Buffalo Bills. He\u2019s got a tough matchup against New England in Week 9, but after that it\u2019s smooth sailing against the Seattle Seahawks and New York Giants. Sam Howell is currently rostered in 46% of leagues on Sleeper and 30% on ESPN.<\/p>\n Everyone\u2019s late round darling in 2022 Dameon Pierce is reportedly not a good fit<\/a> for the scheme in Houston. The RB that is a good fit? Singletary. He\u2019s become more and more involved in the offense and has the pass catching chops to be useful in PPR leagues. Even better, he\u2019s readily available in over 67% of leagues on ESPN.<\/p>\n Miles Sanders lost the job. Chuba took the majority of the touches in Week 8 as Bryce Young<\/a> secured his first victory. Hubbard isn\u2019t going to be a RB1 by any means, but as a RB2 or FLEX play with bye weeks coming up, there\u2019s worse options to have. He should already be rostered in the majority of leagues, but it\u2019s worth checking if someone dropped him when Miles Sanders returned from injury. He\u2019s available in 57% of leagues on ESPN.<\/p>\n For the extra deep roster stash this week, Williams is the handcuff<\/a> to Joe Mixon. While that in and of itself isn\u2019t too exciting, the Bengals schedule for the next month and a half is extremely kind to running backs. To get out in front of a run to the waiver wire, Williams is worth a bench spot if you have room. Available in over 90% of leagues on all platforms.<\/p>\nSam Howell, QB Washington Commanders<\/h3>\n
