Running backs headline the fantasy football waiver wire recommendations for Week 9 of the 2026 NFL season as managers seeking help at the extremely scare position have an opportunity to address their need.
Below, we will give some recommended waiver wire acquisitions heading into Week 9 of the 2026 NFL season. Many leagues use the Free Agency Acquisition Budget (FAAB) to bid on players, and because this is the more standard practice in competitive leagues, we will give our recommendations based on FAAB suggestions. We will also address those who use waiver priority settings.
Our advice will cater to full PPR settings, along with 4 points per passing touchdown. Our advice also caters primarily to competitive, deep leagues that feature 12 to 14 teams with standard to deep benches. For those who use different settings, these suggestions should transfer somewhat laterally, but adjust your rankings as you see fit according to your league's criteria.
Suggested players must have a roster share of 65% or less in CBS leagues as of Monday morning to qualify for this piece. All roster percentages will be listed alongside the players.
