The waiver wire looks unfortunately strong at the moment.
That's because the injury bug reared its ugly head during Week 6 of the 2023 NFL season.
Christian McCaffrey, the best running back in fantasy football, and David Montgomery, a touchdown machine, were both forced off the field by injuries. So, too, was McCaffrey's teammate, Deebo Samuel, a player who can produce major stats as both a pass-catcher and a ball-carrier.
Potential replacements for the two above mentioned running backs lead the priority list on this week's waivers.
