Fantasy Football 2016 Rankings, Sleepers & Week 9 Waiver Wire: Top 5 NFL Players To Pick Up This Week

One of the most important things you can do in order to win your Fantasy Football league is stay on top of your waiver wire. Finding that gem player that no one else knows about can make the difference each and every week.

Here are five players you should consider signing for Week 9.

1. Sam Bradford

Odds are you already have a reliable starting quarterback lined up for Week 9. But if you don’t, Sam Bradford might not be a bad choice. Bradford is owned by less than 20 percent of all Fantasy Football owners, but he’s off to the best start of his career with the Minnesota Vikings. Bradford has tossed seven touchdowns and just one interception with a career high 100.3 passer rating. The Vikings take on the Detroit Lions secondary, who has allowed the third most passing touchdowns, in Week 9.

2. Kendall Wright

He’s a very inconsistent wide receiver, but he’s also worth taking a shot on. Kendall Wright has had multiple games this season with 100 receiving yards and multiple games with less than 15 yards. He’s a huge “hit or miss” receiver. Wright and the Tennessee Titans take on the San Diego Chargers next week, which is a great for Fantasy owners because the Chargers don’t have an impressive secondary.

3. Bilal Powell

Matt Forte is the No. 1 running back for the New York Jets, but Bilal Powell is making the most of his limited carries. He had a season high 76 rushing yards against the Cleveland Browns in his last game, and the Miami Dolphins are up next. Powell is expected to get more carries as the season progresses, and it’s also important to note that he’s on pace to set a new career high in receiving yards.

4. Kenny Britt

Coming fresh off a bye week, Kenny Britt could be a good addition for Week 9. Britt is on pace for more than 1,000 receiving yards this season, by far the most in his career. Yes, he faces the Carolina Panthers next week, but the Panthers defense hasn’t resembled anything of last year without Josh Norman.

5. Ryan Tannehill

Ryan Tannehill is hardly a Fantasy Football stud, but the matchup is interesting. The New York Jets secondary has been the most disappointing in the league this season ranking dead last in yards given up. Tannehill may not be an elite quarterback, but he’s still fully capable of putting together a good game and winning you a match for one week. To make things more encouraging, this game will be in Miami.
