Week 9 Top Overall Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Targets For Every Position: Mike Washington Jr Leads The Way

Week 9 brings new opportunities in fantasy football, with several noteworthy players available on the waiver wire. Here are the top targets for each position, starting with quarterbacks.

Quarterback: Gardner Minshew, Arizona Cardinals

Minshew emerged as a starter for the Cardinals in Week 8, throwing for 188 yards and three touchdowns in a single half. With the Cardinals running a high-volume passing offense, Minshew presents a strong weekly ceiling. Consider adding him to your team in most Superflex leagues and deeper single QB leagues.

Running Back: Mike Washington Jr., Las Vegas Raiders

Washington has taken over the Raiders' backfield, outdueling Ashton Jeanty for playing time. While Jeanty has been limited to just two carries, Washington has either secured the starting role or Jeanty remains injured. Regardless, Washington is positioned to remain the Raiders' leading rusher for the remainder of the season, making him a prime rest-of-season waiver wire target.

Wide Receiver: Antonio Williams, Washington Commanders

With Terry McLaurin sidelined for the season, Williams' role has expanded in Week 8. He caught five of seven targets for 54 yards, including a 30-yard touchdown. Expect Williams to continue his expanded role, potentially becoming a league-winning contributor. He should be picked up by every fantasy football league with at least 10 teams, and is a must-add in 12-team leagues.

Tight End: Eli Raridon, New England Patriots

Hunter Henry's injury has left the Patriots' pass-catching corps vulnerable. With key players like AJ Brown, Romeo Doubs, Mack Hollins, and Henry sidelined, Raridon is set to see increased action. If Henry misses additional time, Raridon will be a major contributor in your passing game. Add him to your starting lineup while Henry is sidelined, but keep an eye on Henry's status throughout the week.
