Before you determine which players you should target on the Fantasy football waiver wire ahead of Week 8, you NEED to see what Scott Engel has to say.
Engel is an inaugural member of the Fantasy Sports Writers Association's Hall of Fame. He is a four-time FSWA Award Winner and 10-time nominee. In 2020, Scott was a finalist for the FSWA Fantasy Football Writer of the Year Award, which he also won previously. In addition to being the Fantasy writer for the Seattle Seahawks' official site since 2012, Engel' work has appeared on The Athletic, SiriusXM FantasySports Radio, ESPN.com, NFL.com, the Associated Press, Yahoo Sports, SI.com, the New York Post, USA Today, RotoBaller, and of course, CBSSports.com.
Engel won two dynasty leagues championships last season, including one in the Fantasy Football Players Championship (FFPC) and has won three consecutive championships in his highly competitive New York City league. So far this season, Engel has recommended high impact players such as Kadarius Toney, Cordarrelle Patterson, Dawson Knox and Khalil Herbert ahead of their breakout performances!
Now, he's revealed the best widely available free agents ahead of Week 8. One player to target on the Week 8 waiver wire: Washington Football Team running back Jaret Patterson. Antonio Gibson is playing through a shin injury and has not rushed for more than 70 yards since the season opener. He could miss time at any point in the near future, and Patterson would see an expanded role in such a situation.
Engel is also all-in on a wide receiver with MASSIVE upside! This player is still widely available and could be a HUGE boost to your roster moving forward! Anyone who adds this player could hit it BIG. You ABSOLUTELY need to see who it is before making any Week 8 waiver wire claims.
Which players should you target on the Week 8 Fantasy football waiver wire? And which wide receiver is a MUST-ADD? ... Join SportsLine right now to see the optimal league-winning free agents entering Week 8, all from a Fantasy Hall of Famer!
