Top 10 waiver-wire pickups for Week 9 in your fantasy football league

With Week 8 of the NFL season nearly in the books, it's time for fantasy football managers to get ready to make their waiver claims.

Many NFL teams have reached their halfway point of the season, making it a perfect time to change your perception of the early underachievers and overachievers. For example, the Jets sit at 3-5 with one of the top 20 offenses in the league, but several of their most active players remain woefully under-owned. Taking advantage of these market inefficiencies could be the key to your championship hopes.

Week 8 wasn't a particularly big one for injuries, but with six more teams on byes this week, your league should see a flurry of transactions. Below, we take a look at the top available names.
