After scoring 40 points or more in their first two games, the New Orleans Saints offense has been losing steam for weeks and the absence of Derek Carr (oblique) has only compounded the issues. After rushing for 370 yards in those first two games, the running game has only produced 93.5 yards per game over the last six games. However, Carr is set to return in Week 9 and New Orleans has a juicy matchup against a Panthers defense that ranks last in scoring defense?
Carr is available in roughly 70% of CBS Sports Fantasy football leagues, so might he be worth streaming in your Week 9 Fantasy football lineups, and who else on the Week 9 Fantasy football waiver wire should you be targeting this week? Before making any Week 9 Fantasy football waiver claims, be sure to see what SportsLine Fantasy football expert R.J. White has to say.
White has dominated NFL betting picks for years, but he got his start in sports media as a Fantasy baseball and football analyst. He finished No. 1 among all experts for his draft rankings the first year FantasyPros tracked MLB expert accuracy on their site. White has continued to excel at season-long and dynasty Fantasy baseball and football formats.
Now, he’s revealed his top waiver wire picks from among the widely available Fantasy football free agents entering Week 9. You can see his top Fantasy NFL waiver wire picks and full analysis over at SportsLine.
Top Fantasy football waiver wire picks for Week 9
One player White is advising Fantasy players to target on the Week 9 waiver wire: Browns wide receiver Cedric Tillman. Tillman was only targeted five times over the first six weeks of the season but since Amari Cooper was traded, he’s been treated like an integral part of their plans moving forward. He was targeted 12 times last week and finished with eight catches for 81 yards and then had seven catches for 99 yards and two touchdowns with Jameis Winston moving into the starting role last week.
“Baltimore had to deal with multiple injuries in the secondary that contributed to the big passing day for Jameis Winston, but it’s clear there’s room for both these (Tillman and Elijah Moore) little-rostered players plus Jerry Jeudy and David Njoku (10 catches on 15 targets for 140 yards combined) to have some Fantasy relevance with the QB chance. I’m most excited about Tillman after back-to-back high-volume games.”
White is also strongly recommending Winston if you’re in the need of a quarterback on your Fantasy football roster. The former No. 1 overall pick and long-time Buccaneers starter was thrust into the starting role when Deshaun Watson tore his Achilles last week and he gave the Cleveland offense a gigantic spark in his first start.
Winston went 27 for 41 for 334 yards and three touchdowns without a turnover in a shocking 29-24 win over the Ravens, who had looked like the best team in football over the first seven weeks of the season. He’s only owned in 14% of CBS Sports Fantasy football leagues and White thinks he’s a viable streaming or short-term starting option if you’re in a bind at quarterback.
