Dave B scours the free agent pools in fantasy land for the best available talent every week. Availability, of course, depends on the league. We\u2019re using 12 team, 15 roster spot leagues as the median, but we\u2019ll look for roster candidates for leagues of all shapes and sizes.<\/p>\n<p>After all of the weekly games are finished be sure to check our cheatsheets, a who\u2019s hot, and who\u2019s not report plus more in our <a title=\"Fantasy Football\" href=\"\/blog\/category\/fantasy-football\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>fantasy football<\/strong><\/a> guide.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Week 8 is over and some new players have emerged as potentially dangerous weapons for Week 9. <\/p>\n<p>Below is Dave B\u2019s week 9 Waiver Wire \u2013\u00a0I hope that some weapons can be found!<\/p>\n<h3><strong><em><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">QBs<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Matthew Stafford \u2013\u00a0Detroit Lions \u2013 <\/strong> Stafford may have been dropped. In case he has, now is time to pick him up. Stafford played his first game since Week 1 and showed absolutely no rust at all, passing for 212 yards and four touchdowns. He has the easiest schedule in the league remaining and could easily finish the year as an every week play.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Jon Kitna \u2013\u00a0Dallas Cowboys \u2013 <\/strong> Kitna threw for 379 yards in his first start but tossed four interceptions (3 of which were not his fault). He has shown that he knows how to use the talented receivers and as long as the Cowboys keep falling behind, he\u2019ll keep throwing.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Josh Freeman \u2013\u00a0Tampa Bay Buccaneers \u2013 <\/strong> He is a consistent performer \u2013 nothing great but not too bad either. 200 yards and 1-2 touchdowns in guaranteed but Freeman has enormous upside.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Others to Monitor:<\/strong> Derek Anderson \u2013 Arizona Cardinals, Troy Smith \u2013 San Francisco 49ers, Tavaris Jackson \u2013 Minnesota Vikings<\/p>\n<h3><strong><em><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">RBs<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Benjarvus Green-Ellis \u2013\u00a0New England Patriots \u2013 <\/strong> I was a bit down on this guy, thinking that Danny Woodhead was about to pass him on the depth charts but I was wrong. He had 17 rushes, 112 yards and two touchdowns in Week 8. He is the red zone guy and the starter on a 6-1 team.<\/p>\n<p><strong>LaGarrette Blount \u2013 Tampa Bay Buccaneers \u2013 <\/strong>Blount also emerged in Week 8 and had two touchdowns with his 120 yards receiving. He is by far the most dangerous man out of the Buccaneers backfield and looks like the only real RB threat in an emerging offense.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Keland Williams \u2013\u00a0Washington Redskins \u2013 <\/strong> Ryan Torain left Sunday\u2019s game with a bad hamstring leaving the door wide open for Williams. We all know that Mike Shanahan likes his running back projects \u2013 Williams may be that guy. 9 touches, 53 combined yards and a touchdown on Sunday is proof.<\/p>\n<h3><strong><em><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">WRs<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Steve Breaston \u2013\u00a0Arizona Cardinals \u2013 <\/strong> He probably went undrafted in your league but in his first game back from knee surgery, he gained 147 yards on eight catches. Derek Anderson will be the quarterback in Arizona and he appears to look Breaston\u2019s way first. <a href=\"http:\/\/affiliates.commissionaccount.com\/processing\/clickthrgh.asp?btag=a_3953b_747\" rel=\"nofollow\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" style=\"width: 250px; height: 250px; margin: 1px; border: 3px solid #ffffff;\" src=\"http:\/\/affiliates.commissionaccount.com\/processing\/impressions.asp?btag=a_3953b_747\" alt=\"Sports Betting at Sportsbook.com\" width=\"250\" height=\"250\" \/><\/span><\/a><!-- End affiliate Code--><\/p>\n<p><strong>Nate Washington \u2013\u00a0Tennessee Titans \u2013 <\/strong> Kenny Britt injured his hamstring in Week 8 \u2013 shame because of the amazing Week 7 that he had. Washington is a proven talent and with the Titans opening up the offense a little bit, Washington could be in line for some more work going forward.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Nate Burleson \u2013\u00a0Detroit Lions \u2013 <\/strong>Burleson missed a few games because of injury but came back and appears to be a favourite target for Matthew Stafford. He had 9 targets on Sunday and has Buffalo, Dallas and New England on the schedule.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Others to Monitor \u2013<\/strong> Lavelle Hawkins \u2013 Tennessee Titans, Darius Heyward-Bey \u2013 Oakland Raiders, Laurent Robinson \u2013 St. Louis Rams, Brandon LaFell \u2013 Carolina Panthers<\/p>\n<h3><strong><em><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">TEs<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Sorry \u2013\u00a0there is no really interesting Tight Ends to pickups this week. Greg Olsen of the Chicago Bears is an intriguing outlet for Mr. Cutler and Jermaine Gresham of Cincinnati may be available, but both are less than exciting.<\/p>\n<h3><strong><em><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Defense<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Arizona Cardinals \u2013<\/strong>The Cardinals have been superb in the last four games or so. Over the last four games, they are generating sacks (almost 3 per games); getting 1 interception and just over 1 fumble recovery. The Cards have also averaged one defensive touchdown per game over the last four.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Detroit Lions \u2013 <\/strong>The Lions generated 7 sacks and 2 turnovers last week and evens scored a defensive touchdown. Buffalo and Dallas are on tap for this emerging defense.<\/p>\n<h3>CHECK OUT SPORTSBOOK.COM TODAY FOR AN AMAZING SIGN UP BONUS FOR ALL YOUR WEEKLY NFL GAMBLING!
