Fantasy Football Waiver Wire and Rest of Season Rankings- Week 9

Your fantasy football season is in make or break territory we are nearing the stretch run. The waiver offerings have been hit and miss so far this season, but it is time to make big moves. If you have gaps in your line-up or going to get hit hard by the bye week, don't be afraid to overpay for a 1 or 2 week fill-in. We are almost half-way through bye weeks so we should only have to navigate a few more weeks where we will be short players.
It's sad to say, but injuries do make the waiver wire more interesting. We are not injury vultures, we wish those that are injured the best of luck, we are just playing a game and are looking to optimize our chances of winning.
Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Adds
Players We Can Drop
When we make waiver claims most of the time we can easily determine who to add, but we struggle with which players to drop. It is very difficult to give-up on a player we thought was worth drafting in the first place. If you are struggling, you should be dropping your questions or concerns in our FREE Discord channel. Don't be afraid of it, I'm over 50 and navigate it fairly well.
Injuries and other updates:
Saquon Barkley groin injury not believed to be serious.

The Cardinals have released Michael Carter, Bo Brack of GoPHNX.com reports.
He could easily be back on the practice squad tomorrow and playing on Monday Night. Teams do this kind of roster management gymnastics all the time.
