Waiver Wire Running Back Priorities

• 🎯 Damien Harris is considered a top waiver wire target, potentially available in some leagues, with a chance to significantly boost a fantasy team.
• 🚀 Gus Edwards is ranked as the second priority due to his physical running style and goal-line potential, especially with Baltimore's strong run game.
• 💡 D.J. Dallas is a high-upside pick for Week 9, particularly given his matchup against Buffalo and his involvement in the passing game, though long-term value is uncertain.
• 📈 Jordan Wilkins is a potential target if Jonathan Taylor misses time due to his ankle injury, offering the chance to be the lead back for the Colts.

Key Wide Receiver and Tight End Adds

• 🌟 Sterling Shepard is highlighted as a reliable starter for the rest of the season, especially in PPR formats, due to consistent target share and catch numbers.
• 🎯 Marvin Jones is a strong Week 9 option against Minnesota, a favorable matchup for wide receivers, with potential for a big game.
• 💡 Cole Beasley is recommended as a solid PPR option, especially with Buffalo's run game potentially opening up the passing game.
