We're halfway through the fantasy football regular season, and we're heading into a crucial week where we'll need plenty of replacements in our lineups with six teams on a by week.

0:09.1

Injuries aren't stopping anytime soon.

0:11.1

I'm John Macri, and joined as always by PFF's lead fantasy analyst, Nathan Yonkey.

0:15.4

And for this episode of the PFF fantasy podcast, we'll be going over all of the top available waiver wire targets

0:21.4

heading into week eight.

0:22.9

Nate, uh, how are you doing coming off a late Monday night football doubleheader?

0:27.7

Uh, doing well and not quite as much sleep as I'd like, but it's a fun day for waivers.

0:31.8

I'm looking forward to going through all my leagues and doing my waiver runs today.

0:35.9

Um, interesting week because like you said, we have lots

0:38.3

of injuries. We have six teams on biweek this upcoming week. It's the only week of the season

0:42.9

where we have six teams on biweek. So a lot of fantasy managers are going to be desperate for

0:47.6

players, along with having players to replace those players on buys. It's the usual. Here's the

0:53.2

players who played well this week,

0:54.5

who could continue to play while going forward. And we are also inching closer and closer to the

0:59.5

NFL trade deadline. NFL trade rumors are intensifying. There's only two weeks left for teams to make

1:05.3

trades. So it's good to get ahead of some of these trades. And so you can get a player before

1:10.6

everyone else wants that player. So a lot of interesting names for various reasons on the waiver wireless this week. Yeah, it'll be a fun one. We got lots of guys to go over here. And yeah, is this the only week? Did we have two weeks last year where there were six teams on By or am I missing? I think so. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. So that's good. We only got one this year, which is nice. Considering it takes out so many of our fantasy options. Yeah, Arizona, Detroit, Jacksonville, the Rams, the Raiders and the Seahawks all going to be on a buy this week. So going to be busy on the WaverWire.
