NFL bye weeks can be the bane of even the best fantasy football squads. After all, fantasy stars aren't going to help your squad when they're not playing.
When managers are deep into bye-week season—as we are entering Week 9—the waiver wire becomes incredibly valuable.
This is particularly true in 2020, where injuries have also decimated many fantasy lineups. Standouts like Saquon Barkley, Michael Thomas and Nick Chubb have already missed significant time or are done for the year. George Kittle, Jimmy Garoppolo, Kenny Golladay, T.Y. Hilton and Tevin Coleman were all injured in Week 8, too.
