Fantasy Football Waiver Wire: Week 8
Last Updated on November 3, 2026 1:19 pm by Jon Mosales | Published: November 3, 2026
Week 8 was fairly normal in comparison to the rest of the season, but again it’s a lot of matchups vs. talent and talents defying all logic. Anyone who has trusted Tony Pollard all season when he wasn’t doing anything was handsomely rewarded the past two weeks. The story of the season has been rookie WRs making the leap, but now it appears to be about RB2s taking over and rewarding fantasy GMs with patience.
Quarterbacks
JJ McCarthy – The Giants had a bye and McCarthy has even more time to get acclimatized to the offense. He’s thrown for 240+ yards in each of his two starts and looks like a completely different player this season. The schedule breaks nicely for him with the Eagles and the Commanders over the next two games. He’s not even close to a QB1, but in Super Flex leagues with so many injuries to actual fantasy starters, you might need to search the bargain bin. (FAAB: 1%)

I have been crazy about fantasy sports even before I knew what it was. Some people use stats as a tool and some use the eye test. I like to believe I have the perfect blend of both and that extra special spider sense that separates me from the herd. I have been nominated for one FSWA Football Article of the Year award and am just getting started. My only fear is that I will become too good at fantasy football and have to retire early like Michael Jordan. You won’t see me leave my house without at least one of my (four) dogs and if you are lucky enough, you will catch me cruising top-down with all four in tow.
