Two Pro Bowl wide receivers joined new teams last week with Davante Adams sent to the Jets where he was reunited with Aaron Rodgers and Amari Cooper traded to become Josh Allen’s new No. 1 with the Bills. However, if you’re a Fantasy football manager searching for wide receiver help on the Fantasy football waiver wire, you might be more interested in what went down on their old teams. Tre Tucker was targeted eight times for the Raiders and it was his fourth time in five games where he’s had at least five targets.
Meanwhile, Cedric Tillman was targeted 12 times for the Browns and finished with eight catches for 81 yards. Both have tenuous quarterback situations, but might the two third-round picks from the 2023 NFL Draft be worth a Week 8 Fantasy football waiver add? Before making any Week 8 Fantasy football waiver claims, be sure to see what SportsLine Fantasy football expert R.J. White has to say.
White has dominated NFL betting picks for years, but he got his start in sports media as a Fantasy baseball and football analyst. He finished No. 1 among all experts for his draft rankings the first year FantasyPros tracked MLB expert accuracy on their site. White has continued to excel at season-long and dynasty Fantasy baseball and football formats.
Now, he’s revealed his top waiver wire picks from among the widely available Fantasy football free agents entering Week 8. You can see his top Fantasy NFL waiver wire picks and full analysis over at SportsLine.
Top Fantasy football waiver wire picks for Week 8
One player White is advising Fantasy players to target on the Week 8 waiver wire: Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa. Last year’s passing title winner went on injured reserve after suffering yet another concussion in Week 2 and faced calls for his retirement. However, he is expected to be cleared medically and it’s hard to ignore the upside he presents with such a talented supporting cast.
“Tagovailoa is expected to return to practice this week and will likely be under center against the Cardinals for the flailing Dolphins offense. He had a solid Week 1 but was struggling against the Bills before his injury, and when combined with how the Dolphins has looked with backups in place, I wonder how much excitement there will be for him in Fantasy,” White told SportsLine. “I think he’s a clear add as a potential top-10 QB over the remainder of the season.”
White is also strongly recommending Patriots tight end Hunter Henry. Now in his ninth NFL season, Henry has been productive for stretches throughout his career but he’s only been a top-10 Fantasy football tight end twice in his career. Right now, he’s TE7 and he’s trending upward with rookie quarterback Drake Maye breathing some life into the New England passing game.
“Henry saw a bump in roster rate and then went out and delivered for Fantasy managers, leading the Patriots with eight catches on nine targets for 92 yards,” White said. “I’ll caveat his performance again with Demario Douglas’ illness keeping him largely out of the gameplan, but I do expect the two of them to be the clear top targets for Maye moving forward, and that makes Henry interesting in Fantasy at a tough position to fill.” See who else to target on the Fantasy football waiver wire at SportsLine.
