Waiver Hub – Week 8

Happy Tuesday October 22, Mike here, welcome back to my weekly Waiver HUB. Follow me on Twitter (@FantasyHubbard) for all things fantasy football throughout the season.

MNF last night ended with a Ravens victory over Tampa by a score of 41-31 with plenty of fantasy stats to go around but none more convincing than Lamar Jackson and his 5 TD passes. Some other notable stats include Mark Andrews scoring 2 times, Rashod Bateman had 121 receiving yards, king Henry ran for 169 rushing yards, Cade Otton had 100 receiving yards, and Baker threw for 370 yards. The other MNF game ended with a Cardinals victory over the Chargers by a score of 17-15. Justin Herbert threw for 349 yards and James Connor ran for 101 yards. Next week’s MNF matchup will be between the Giants and the Steelers.

It’s time to make some moves and prepare for fantasy post season greatness. Injuries are inevitable so here’s another chance to hit the waiver wire and get impactful players. Another week gone, another opportunity to make your team stronger and inch your way to that league trophy and an offseason of bragging rights.

Below are my top waiver wire priorities this week. Go get those available players to help your chances at a championship. Good luck this week and remember to check back every week to stay informed on who you could target off of waivers.

TOP PRIORITY OF THE WEEK

Tua Tagovailoa – Miami Dolphins

Tua is set to return to the field this week for Miami. He gets a rather soft schedule playing the Cardinals, the Rams, and the Raiders in 3 of his next 4 games. Tua is obviously injury prone, but when he plays, he can light it up. Tyreek Hill might be the happiest person next game knowing he has a QB that he has chemistry with and vastly improves with. Tua threw for 338 yards in his only full game this season. Tua can help your fantasy team if you have the room on your bench or need a starting QB immediately.
