The FFD Fantasy - 10+ Week 9 MUST ADD Waiver Wire Picks - 2026 Fantasy Football

Colts quarterback to monitor for potential trade; source mentions Richardson alongside Mac Jones as a name to watch for trade opportunities, though source expresses preference for Mac Jones.

Braylon Allen is a career-high rusher in New York; Isaiah Davis is his handcuff; there is uncertainty in the New York backfield.

BTJ (Brock Bowers) is 42% rostered and showed life with a touchdown this week; the source notes he is a lotto ticket, and if he were to land on the Chiefs, they would be ecstatic about his upside.

Douglas is 40% rostered and scored 16.6 fantasy points this week as wide receiver 12 with three receptions on three targets for 76 yards and a touchdown; the source notes volume is not king but opportunity is about to be.

Devin Singletary is worth a roster spot; Tyrone Tracy is on IR with no trade imminent for another running back, so it's just Singletary and the scat pack; the team is going to be very run-heavy; he could offer flex upside; gets the Eagles who just got bludgeoned by the Cowboys on Monday night football, indicating their run defense is vulnerable.

Dylan Sampson is 22% rostered with 12.9 fantasy points, six receptions on eight targets for 62 receiving yards; gets the Saints in week nine, who allow a fantasy cornucopia of points to the running back position; good desperation flex play with a chance to give higher-end RB2 upside; comparable to Kenneth Gainwell's production.

Mitchell delivered nine receptions on nine targets for 142 receiving yards and a touchdown, finishing as wide receiver three on the week with 27.2 fantasy points; only 10% rostered, representing significant upside opportunity.

Emmitt Johnson delivered 25 fantasy points in Week 9 with 5 receptions for 128 yards, validating the source's prior conviction in his talent; at only 24% rostered, Johnson represents a league-winning upside play if Kenneth Walker is unavailable, despite low burst score metrics that typically predict poor day-three draft outcomes.

Eagles backup quarterback available at 0% rostered as QB10 for week nine; posted 19.5 fantasy points with 17-of-23 passing and three touchdowns against Seahawks on the road. Source notes it's a free-for-all for whoever wants to grab him, with potential for another week of starts depending on Carson Beck or Kobe Percet situation.

Geno Smith delivered 275 passing yards and 2 touchdowns in Week 9, contributing to a successful week for the source's recommendations.

Jets quarterback option for week nine streamers versus Chiefs at Arrowhead; source notes he's a worthwhile option in one-quarterback leagues and especially valuable in superflex leagues despite tougher matchup.

Talented tight end stash with nine targets and five receptions for 76 yards; currently TE8 with only 4% rostered. Source notes Brian Dayball has remembered Helm's presence on the roster after Carnell Tate absence; a worthwhile stash if your team is in a good spot or if playing in tight end premium league, as Helm has done nothing to this point but possesses elite talent warranting monitoring.

Helm is more of a stash than an immediate play; he received nine targets this week with no Carnell Tate available, and the source notes Brian Dayball may be remembering he has Helm in the offense.

Isaiah Davis is handcuffed to career-high rusher Braylon Allen; if something goes wrong with Allen, Davis needs to be on rosters early; there's some weird stuff going on in New York as usual, so keep eyes peeled.

Jalen Wright of the Miami Dolphins is only 5% rostered; Ollie Gordon is getting too emotional; Wright is a day-three pick and can't be doing stuff when drafted that late, so his role is limited.

Jeremiah Love suffered another injury, continuing a pattern of health issues that has defined his season; with Bam Knight also ruled out with concussion, Love's availability for upcoming weeks is uncertain.

Jonah Coleman finished as RB11 heading into Sunday Night Football with 104 total yards and a touchdown in Week 9, validating the source's prior conviction in his talent.

Jonathan Taylor could have been or will have possibly been traded by the time people are viewing this content; there is a lot afoot with him in New York.

Allen is 52% rostered and scored 67 yards in week 9 against the Cowboys, who have a very high over-under total game (49–50.5); the source notes he could be a good PPR play despite potential trade uncertainty heading into the deadline.

Kenneth Walker's status is relevant to Emmitt Johnson's upside; Johnson is positioned as a league-winning pickup if Walker is unavailable, suggesting Walker remains the primary back but injury risk exists.

Patriots quarterback to stash and monitor for potential trade; source prefers Mac Jones over Anthony Richardson as a trade target, noting potential value depending on Ravens' conference positioning and 49ers' willingness to trade.

Malik Washington of the Dolphins is 53% rostered with 540 yards and 1 touchdown this week; gets the Lions in week nine at home with a high over-under total of 48.5; scored 15 fantasy points this week.

Washington is 53% rostered and scored 15 fantasy points this week; faces the Lions in week 9 at home in a high over-under total game (48.5) followed by the Colts and Bills—three juicy matchups.

Gesicki is 25% rostered and finished as tight end five this week with four catches on six targets for 76 yards and a touchdown; the source compares the Bengals' passing volume to elite offenses like the 2013 Denver Broncos, 2004 Colts, or 2007 Patriots, suggesting any starting player benefits from the volume. Gesicki faces the Falcons on the road next week, who just allowed zero completed forward passes.

Must spend money on Mike Washington as a handcuff in case Ashton Gentey's situation turns into a full committee backfield; need to be adaptable to information as it develops.

Mike Washington is only 31% rostered and posted 8.3 fantasy points in Week 9; with Ashton Gentey benched for comments and facing a favorable schedule (49ers, Seahawks, Broncos), Washington is a waiver wire target in case the 49ers shift to a committee approach, though the source notes this is not an ideal scenario.

Ollie Gordon is getting too emotional; as a day-three pick, he can't be doing stuff that jeopardizes his role.

Chargers tight end returning to relevance with five receptions and 52 yards; 14% rostered. Source emphasizes Gadsden had one of the best rookie seasons in recent memory at tight end and should be monitored despite upcoming matchup against Texans who don't give up much to the position. Source suggests keeping eyes on Gadsden as a potential target given Chargers' offensive struggles elsewhere.

If Trevion Henderson is traded, Ramondre Stevenson would be the lead back in the backfield, described as 'just clanging and banging.'

Flournoy is 41% rostered with four straight double-digit fantasy performances; faces the Colts and Cowboys in week 9 and represents a big opportunity if anything happens to Lamb or Pickens.

Seth McGowan is 48% rostered and is a great pickup; must-add in 50% of leagues; gets the Dallas Cowboys next week and Miami Dolphins after, providing favorable matchups.

McGowan faces the Lions in week 9 at home in a high over-under total game (48.5); scored 15 fantasy points this week and has juicy matchups ahead against the Lions, Colts, and Bills.

Trevion Henderson has been the primary back but Corey Conner has been the thorn in his side all season outside of week one; could be on a totally different team, in which case Ramondre Stevenson would be the lead back.

Ravens backup quarterback to monitor for health status given Lamar Jackson injury; Huntley has week nine matchup versus Jaguars and week ten versus Chargers. Source suggests monitoring his availability and potential trade value.

Tyrone Tracy is on IR; no trade imminent for another running back, opening the door for Devin Singletary to get increased volume in a run-heavy offense.
