Waiver Wire Week 8 – NFL Fantasy Football 2023: waivers, adds and rankings – Marca English
Welcome to Marca’s Week 8 Waiver Wire rankings, adds, pickups, and QB & D/ST streamers for the 2023 NFL Fantasy Football season. Here you will find the best options in free agency for players owned in less than 60% of leagues.
With the Monday Night Football upset of the Vikings edging out the 49ers (22-17), Week 7 comes officially to a close. We’re now officially in the equator of the fantasy football regular season. At this point, waiver adds are crucial for an epic comeback (if you need it) or to stay above the competition.
There was lots of injury news in week 7, with some surprise IR additions like Kyren Williams (RB – Rams). Notables injuries from over the weekend include: Bijan Robinson’s (RB) illness, Deshaun Watson (QB), Gerald Everett (TE), Dawson Knox (TE), Keaton Mitchell (RB) and Saquon Barkley’s (RB) hyperextended elbow.
