As we enter Week 9 of the 2024 NFL season, the fantasy football playoffs are in sight. Managers still have several weeks to solidify their postseason spots, but now is not the time to slip because of a bad matchup or the bye-week blues.
Byes are back in Week 9, and the Pittsburgh Steelers and San Francisco 49ers will be out of action. This means that weekly starters like George Pickens, Najee Harris, Deebo Samuel and George Kittle will be unavailable.
The good news is that 30 other teams will be in action, and managers can still find some help on the waiver wire.
