Fantasy Football Week 8 Waiver Wire: How much to bid on Tua Tagovailoa, Hunter Henry and more key targets

R.J. White breaks down the best widely-available Fantasy football free agents heading into Week 8

Two star receivers joined new teams in Week 7 but neither appeared fully integrated into their offenses. Amari Cooper finally got on the same page with Josh Allen in the second half, putting the Bills up for good with a touchdown soon after halftime and finishing with 66 yards on four catches. He was fourth on the team in targets (five), with Keon Coleman and Khalil Shakir both getting seven looks and the former leading the team with 125 yards on his four receptions. Throw in Dalton Kincaid's 52 yards and the Bills offense for one week supported four pass-catchers in Fantasy; it'll be pretty surprising if that continues.

Things were worse for Davante Adams, who caught just three of nine targets for 30 yards to finish fourth on the Jets in receiving yards and fifth in receptions. His targets matched Garrett Wilson and Breece Hall for the team lead, so maybe better days are ahead one he starts reclicking with Aaron Rodgers. A key Fantasy waiver wire name to watch from that game is Mike Williams, who caught just one of two passes and may be on the move this week in a trade, potentially to the team that beat the Jets. The Steelers got the easy win but really had just one receiver involved in the passing game, and with the expectation they're going to throw more with Russell Wilson at QB, they need someone to emerge at WR2 to take some of the burden off George Pickens' shoulders.
