Fantasy football managers are being urged to move fast on the Week 9 waiver wire as the playoff push begins to take shape. According to Yahoo Sports analysts Josh Norris and Joel Smyth, now is the time to identify under-owned players who could swing a league before the stretch run gets tighter.
On the defense and special teams side, Yahoo Sports highlights five streaming options worth a look this week, pointing to favorable matchups for units tied to the Lions, Bills, Giants, Cowboys and Saints. Those matchups are being flagged as prime spots for managers hunting a short-term boost at a notoriously volatile fantasy position.
With bye weeks and injuries continuing to scramble lineups around the league, waiver wire activity is expected to be heavy again this week as fantasy owners jockey for position ahead of the postseason.
