A lot just changed in fantasy football and you need to see what happened.

A bunch of players were just injured and a lot of them are at the quarterback position,

which is going to have severe consequences for their offenses and likely your fantasy teams.

But at the same time, these injuries and some other situations that are unfolding are making

your waiver wire appealing heading into week nine.

Let's discuss.

And we can begin with the Carolina Panthers rookie receiver, Jonathan Mingo,

who's available in over 90% of leagues, and we just saw some very strong usage coming out of

the by week. And that usage was Mingo leading the team, all the wide receivers, in snaps

and in routes run, and he saw quality production. He goes out there and he has four catches for

62 yards on five targets in this game out of the by week and a lot of things look good one his

usage was good it was back to normal because he has dealt with injuries this season and you can see

that right here because the second round rookie who the panthers had a first round grade on he started

this season playing 93 97% of the routes then he gets hurt in week three doesn't play in week

four and then he gets ramped back up week 5 82% 6, 95%, and then he comes out of the buy week this past

week, and he ran 97% of the routes. Now, he hasn't had a big game yet, but this is exactly what

we're talking about. We're trying to buy the player before he has that big game, and he's available

and again, over 90% of leagues. And it also helps that his quarterback, Bryce Young, is playing well, especially after the by week. This is all progress and it shows very encouraging signs of improvement. He completes 22 of 31 passes. He looked a lot more comfortable

in the pocket. His efficiency per attempt was good against the Houston secondary. That is banged up,

but still a solid unit. So when it comes to Jonathan Mingo, the team has investment in him and now they're

putting usage behind him. It's only a matter of time until the production starts. And if you're not familiar, this is his talent right here, according to player profiler,

the larger these bars are closer to 100 percentile, the better.
