NFL Week 8 Fantasy Football Tips

This is our waiver wire pick-ups column. The WagerOnFootball.com staff will scour the free agent pools in fantasy land for the best available talent every week. Availability, of course, depends on the league. We’re using 12 team, 15 roster spot leagues as the median, but we’ll look for roster candidates for leagues of all shapes and sizes. Grab the following before NFL Week 8.

Team	NFL WEEK 8 FANTASY FOOTBALL WAIVER WIRE
1. Charlie Batch	Waiver Wire - QUARTERBACKS Batch came off the bench for Roethlisberger, who was knocked out of the game, and completed eight of 13 passes for 195 yards and two touchdowns. If Roethlisberger is ruled out for the Steelers' game against the Raiders, Batch has definite fantasy value.
2. Seneca Wallace	Waiver Wire - QB'S Wallace will start at quarterback for the injured Matt Hasselbeck, who is expected to be out 2-4 weeks with a right MCL sprain. He throws well on the run and has the potential to throw accurate deep balls.
3. Tony Romo	Waiver Wire - QB's Romo saw his first action of the season Monday night in relief of Drew Bledsoe. Romo completed 14 of 25 passes for 227 yards with two TDs and three interceptions, but coach Bill Parcells said he would not name a starter for Sunday's game at Carolina until later in the week
4. Damon Huard	Waiver Wire - QB's Huard has been solid filling in for Green but unless you're in the market for a bye week starter he doesn't have much fantasy value. The Chiefs keep Huard on a fairly tight leash and continue to emphasize RB Larry Johnson.
1. Wally Lundy	Waiver Wire - RUNNING BACKS Lundy came off the bench to gain 93 yards and score a touchdown in last week's victory over Jacksonville, as Samkon Gado started for Houston. Lundy should still get the majority of carries based on his performance against the Jacksonville.
2. Leon Washington	Waiver Wire - RB's Washington led the Jets with 20 carries for 129 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's win against the Lions while splitting the load with Barlow. Washington was impressive but keep in mind that the Lions' run defense was missing DT Shaun Rogers
3. Cedric Benson	Waiver Wire - RB's Were Benson's two TDs in Week 5 good fortune or a sign of things to come? The truth, as always, probably lies somewhere in the middle. Benson is a gifted goal-line runner and the obvious successor to RB Thomas Jones as Chicago's feature back.
1. Marty Booker	Waiver Wire - WIDE RECEIVERS Booker sustained an apparent finger injury during Sunday's game. He is also dealing with a pectoral ailment. Booker has been banged-up for much of the season but has two weeks to recover. He should be on the field against the Bears in Week 9.
2. Santonio Holmes	Waiver Wire - WR's There's little reason to think that Holmes won't factor more in the Pittsburgh offense as the season moves forward. Neither Wilson nor WR Nate Washington has done much to guarantee playing time opposite Ward and Holmes gives the Steelers an explosive deep threat.
3. Peerless Price	Waiver Wire - WR's Price has demonstrated that he occasionally still can get loose. Operative words: "occasionally" and "can." That doesn't mean he will deliver nearly often enough for fantasy owners.
1. David Martin	Waiver Wire - TIGHT ENDS Martin has an excellent frame and good athleticism and hands. He is quick and has good body control and outstanding leaping ability. He can avoid the jam and play under control. He has improved as a route runner and appears natural getting out of his cuts.
1. Kansas City Chiefs	Waiver Wire - DEFENSE/SPECIAL TEAMS This week vs a Seattle QB making his first start. On last week vs San Diego: Chiefs coach Herm Edwards wasn’t complaining about the result, but he wasn’t happy the Chiefs let Rivers and the Chargers out of some tight situations. The Chargers converted on third-down plays far to much for his liking. << MORE FANTASY FOOTBALL NEWS/ARTICLES CLICK HERE >>
