Waiver Wire Rankings and FAB Advice: Week 8 (2021 Fantasy Football)

__________

Q4. Which Week 8 waiver wire option carries the biggest risk of being a waste of FAB dollars?

As mentioned earlier, Robert Tonyan comes with a ton of risk. Fantasy managers likely aren't going to go out and drop a ton of FAB for him, but there's the potential that he goes right back to scoring fewer than three fantasy points as early as next week. Invest at your own risk!

Again, it's Deshaun Watson for me. There are so many reports that he will both be traded and start for his new team that he's likely going to be particularly sought after on the waiver wire market. That means that he'll likely command a high FAB bid to add him, and with so many question marks, including whether he'll play at all, he's a huge risk to be a total waste of FAB dollars.

Any Patriots running back. Brandon Bolden caught 6 of his 7 targets for 79 yards and a TD. J.J. Taylor had 2 TDs of his own. All of this came with Rhamondre Stevenson inactive last week. Stevenson will be dropped in many leagues, while folks chase Boldin and Taylor. It's possible Stevenson is active versus the Chargers and outscores both Boldin and Taylor in Week 8. Meanwhile, Damien Harris is still the only reliable fantasy RB on the roster as of now.

Seahawks RB Rashaad Penny is drawing interest again. There are so many variables to consider here. How soon might Chris Carson return? How is Penny going to split work with Alex Collins and the other Seattle RBs? And perhaps most important of all: Is Penny any good? He entered the league in 2018, but we still don't have a good handle on his talent level.
