    Week 8 Recap

    Another hot week of waivers keeps us rolling.

    The Bullseyes - Week 8

    Michael Carter, RB, New York Jets

    He finished RB1 on the week. Last chance to add him.

    Week 8: 15 carries, 77 yards, 1 touchdown; 9/14 catches 95 yards; 32.20 Fantasy Points

    Pat Freiermuth, TE, Pittsburgh Steelers

    We told you to beat the waiver wire several weeks ago and, if you hadn't then he was a priority pick-up for week 8.

    Week 8: 4/7 catches, 44 yards, 1 touchdown; 14.40 Fantasy Points

    He'll continue to get better and has a great schedule for Tight Ends moving forward.

    The Obvious

    Michael Thomas, WR, New Orleans Saints

    Week 9 is when Michael Thomas has been touted for his return. Don't expect WR elite talent of old. But in PPR leagues he has enough high upside.

    Tua Tagovailoa, QB, Miami Dolphins

    We had Tua Tagovailoa as an obvious pick-up several weeks ago. A week of patience has hopefully paid off as week 9 has arrived. It's the Texans. Go get him if he's available.

    Foster Moreau, TE, Las Vegas Raiders

    If Darren Waller remains sidelined then Foster Moreau is who you want. We had him as a bold addition to rosters last week to beat the waiver wire in case, Darren Waller was to miss further time.

    Other obvious candidates:

    Taysom Hill, QB, New Orleans Saints

    Scottie Phillips, RB, Houston Texans

    Elijah Moore, WR, New York Jets

    Rashod Bateman, WR, Baltimore Ravens

    Van Jefferson, WR, Los Angelas Rams

    The Bold

    Carlos Hyde, RB, Jacksonville Jaguars

    James Robinson left with an ankle injury. Carlos Hyde is the next man up. He is a bold addition to rosters as James Robinson's injury looked minor and he may not miss time. Watch the injury report.

    Other Bold candidates (Deep Rosters Only):

    Mark Ingram, RB, New Orleans Saints

    Jamal Agnew, WR, Jacksonville Jaguars

    The Stashes

    Tyler Johnson, WR, Tampa Bay Buccaneers

    Tyler Johnson is a stash candidate because he steps into an offense with Tom Brady as the QB. If Antonio Brown were to miss further time with injury. Tyler Johnson steps into WR3 range.

    Week 8: 5/6 catches, 65yards; 11.50 Fantasy Points

    Other Stash candidates (Deep Rosters Only):

    Jeff Wilson, RB, San Francisco 49ers

    Nico Collins, WR, Houston Texans

    The Traps

    Braxton Berrios, WR, New York Jets

    I am confident we had him named as a trap the first few weeks of the season. He now returns to the list. Don't do it!

    Other Traps candidates:

    Randall Cobb, WR, Green Bay Packers

    Geoff Swaim, TE, Tennessee TItans
