Week 9 Waiver Wire: The Top Targets You NEED to Add Right Now | Fantasy Focus
The episode weighs which waiver additions can change fantasy lineups while separating genuine opportunity from unstable workloads and thin weekly volume.
- 1Jonah Coleman receives the strongest endorsement among Week 9 running-back waiver targets after taking control of his backfield.
- 2Malik Willis offers streaming appeal through rushing upside, while Bo Nix brings a favorable matchup but less reliable production.
- 3The hosts favor holding Jeremiah Love, moving on from Omarion Hampton, and leaning toward acquiring Bijan Robinson in a fair trade.
Don't miss
The hosts give Jonah Coleman the strongest recommendation in a running-back starter question, elevating him above Zach Charbonnet and potentially Cam Skattebo.
The brief
Daniel Dopp, Field Yates, and Mike Clay open with Chicago’s 34-17 win over Seattle, asking whether DeAndre Swift, Luther Burden III, Colston Loveland, and Caleb Williams are becoming weekly fantasy starters.
Seattle’s backfield remains difficult to trust as Zach Charbonnet, Jadarian Price, and George Holani divide work, while Jaxon Smith-Njigba’s breakout raises questions about his ceiling.
The waiver-wire centerpiece is Jonah Coleman, whose control of his backfield makes him a potential league-winning addition; Tyler Allgeier, Kevin Singletary, and other uncertain situations receive more cautious treatment.
Quarterback streamers Malik Willis and Bo Nix illustrate the episode’s central tension: matchup and rushing upside can create value, but inconsistent production keeps projections fragile.
The mailbag favors holding Jeremiah Love, dropping Omarion Hampton, starting Coleman over Charbonnet when possible, and leaning toward acquiring Bijan Robinson in a fair trade.
