Fantasy Football Week 8 Waiver Wire: LeSean McCoy among injured, struggling RBs affecting top pickups

Whether it's injuries (LeSean McCoy, Eddie Lacy, Carlos Hyde, Jerick McKinnon) or underwhelming play (Matt Jones, Jordan Howard), there are several running back situations that are causing problems for fantasy football owners -- and likely playing a big role in shaping the top Week 8 waiver wire pickups (Mike Gillislee, Matt Asiata, Chris Thompson, etc.).

We all know that running backs are going to continue to get hurt from now until the rest of the season, so instead of waiting for it to happen, being proactive is always a good strategy. This week's waiver list is a good place to start if you're looking for potential pickups, but our RB handcuff chart will also help fill in the gaps if you're looking for some depth.
