Week 9 Waiver Adds

                        Week 9 Waiver Adds

    My personal strategy this week is to punt on the waiver wire pickups. For continually rolling formats I'm choosing to climb up priority for next week. In FAAB formats there's likely nobody available I'd throw more than 5-8% on. However, I'll still list my top 5 I would add if you're desperate. 

#1 Jordan Wilkins Jonathan Taylor has underperformed thus far and Wilkins looks to be taking the job. However I'm not using much FAAB on him since the Colt's will likely still involve Taylor at some capacity given his draft capitol. Even if Wilkins takes over lead back duties he has Hines taking pass work and the Ravens next up on the schedule. Ask yourself, are you really starting him? If the answer is yes by all means grab him. 6-10% FAAB for the desperate.

#2 Tyler Ervin With most of the GB RBs in covid protocol and Aaron Jones still dealing with a calf Injury Ervin might be the only viable RB for the Packers Thursday night. They will likely call up Dexter Williams from the practice squad (who migth be a nice add in deeper leagues) but Ervin would likely lead any kind time share and is proficient as a pass catcher. Keep an eye on Jones' status but Ervin is definitely worth the gamble. 10% FAAB for this 1 week filler.

#3 Jakobi Meyers I had higher hopes for Meyers before they traded for Isaiah Ford but he's still a worthy add. He was highly targeted in the slot and played well there since Eddleman has missed. I'd throw 5% faab on him

#4 Troymaine Pope Seemingly out of nowhere Pope came to steal work from Joshua Kelley. Justin Jackson still looks like the main guy for now while Ekeler recovers but Pope looked good when given opportunity. He's a speculative add and a dart throw start this week in a nice matchup. 5% for him as well. 

#5 Russell Gage If Ridley misses this next game I think Gage is as good a filler as they come. He should see targets opposite Julio and Denver has been middling vs WRs thus far. I'm more likely to do a 0 bid on Gage but if you like him 2-4% is ok.

    That's it for this week. I skipped over TEs because there are tons of streaming options if you lost Kittle. They all suck. That's the problem. I'll list them in my streaming blog tomorrow. Just a heads up if any of Edmonds, Hasty, Deejay Dallas, or Zack Moss are magically available they would be at the top of my list and worth 20% of FAAB. More for Edmonds and Hasty. I'm assuming they are owned. I'm staying away from Breida with the news of Gaskin being out. I don't see him having much upside with Howard likely active and Tua under center. The Miami offense is a situation I'm trying to avoid as a whole.
