If any players are left to start on our fantasy teams, we’re on to Week 8. Today’s newsletter covers waiver wire adds, players to consider streaming for Week 8, and the latest over at 4for4.

Thankfully there are no byes this week in the NFL, but we’ve experienced an inordinate amount of injuries that have the potential to crush our seasons. However, don’t fret, the waiver wire features some playable replacements ahead of Week 8.

⛏️ Jauan Jennings, WR - 49ers (30% rostered)

Deebo Samuel is currently dealing with fluid in his lungs and Brandon Aiyuk suffered a season-ending knee injury last week. Jennings was on the shelf Sunday due to a hip issue but should be back in Week 8 and ready for a volume boost.

🏴‍☠️ Jalen McMillan, WR - Buccaneers (2% rostered)

The Bucs had a brutal MNF outing as Mike Evans left the game with a hamstring issue and Chris Godwin was carted off the field at the end due to a lower leg injury. The Falcons are 26th in WR schedule-adjusted fantasy points allowed (aFPA) so McMillan could be a nice play this week.

🤠 Jalen Tolbert, WR - Cowboys (20% rostered)

The Cowboys are coming off their bye following an embarrassing Week 6 beating at home. Hopefully, they fixed some things, but with Brandin Cooks on IR, Tolbert has been their WR2 and has averaged 10.0 in half-PPR scoring per game as a fantasy WR3.

🦬 Ray Davis, RB - Bills (25% rostered)

Even with James Cook back on the field, Davis gave us 46 yards and a touchdown on six touches. He’s definitely worth a roster spot with some stand-alone value.

Other Waiver Wire Candidates:

  • Drake Maye, QB-Patriots (16%)

  • Demario Douglas, WR- Patriots (41%)

  • Alexander Mattison, RB - Raiders (54%)

  • Cedric Tillman, WR - Browns (1%)

  • Keon Coleman, WR - Bills (33%)

  • Ricky Pearsall, WR - 49ers (14%)

  • Justice Hill, RB - Ravens (19%)

  • Cade Otton, TE - Buccaneers (39%)
