  "account": "Week 9 fantasy football waiver wire pickups include Tyler Allgeier, RB for the Cardinals, who had an efficient game with 191 total yards and two touchdowns in Week 8 after injuries to Jeremiyah Love and Bam Knight. Allgeier finished with 36.60 fantasy points and is a potential RB2/3 option if Love and Knight are out. Adonai Mitchell, WR for the Jets, led the receiving group with a 7-142-1 line in Week 8 against the Raiders after Cooper was non-existent. Mitchell is a 23.7 fantasy point WR1 overall and could be a decent WR3/flex option moving forward. Ryan Flournoy, WR for the Cowboys, has been the third option behind CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens, and he's had a strong performance recently with two touchdowns in the past three games. If something were to happen to Lamb or Pickens, Flournoy would be a useful flex in PPR formats and a receiver with upside heading into the second half of the season. Seth McGowan, RB for the Colts, could become a featured back if Jonathan Taylor gets traded before Week 9. McGowan had only five carries for 29 yards in Week 8 but has the potential to see double-digit touches per week.",
