Kevin Szafraniec highlights the best players available on waivers in 50% or more of ESPN and Yahoo leagues heading into Week 8.

Even if it isn’t always pretty, it’s safe to say that Jaxson Dart has done enough in his short NFL career to have earned a spot in our fantasy lineups. The lack of viable quarterback options on the waiver wire this season has only served to magnify Dart’s performances. This week may be the last chance fantasy managers have to add him to their rosters before he hits an extremely favorable stretch of games that could help propel teams to the fantasy playoffs.

Byes: Arizona, Detroit, Jacksonville, Las Vegas, Los Angeles Rams, Seattle Seahawks

Players featured in this article who are on bye this week are denoted with an asterisk (*).

Before we dive into the players, just a few reminders about how the article is set up:

  • To be included as a potential add, a player must be rostered in at most 50% of ESPN or Yahoo leagues
  • To be included as a potential drop, a player must be rostered in more than 50% of ESPN or Yahoo leagues
  • FAAB recommendations will be given but also serve as tiers for leagues without FAAB budgets. The rationale behind FAAB recommendations is: If I had $1,000 in FAAB, what is the absolute most I’d be willing to spend on this player?
  • All positional rankings and statistics are taken from RotoViz’s Monday Review tool.
