Fantasy Football 2014 Rankings, Sleepers & Week 9 Waiver Wire: Top 5 NFL Players to Pick Up This Week
Fantasy Football NFL season has already reached Week 9 of the 2014 NFL season.
Adding free agent players to your Fantasy Football team is key to winning your league. Staying ahead of the waiver wire is critical to maintaining a great team.
Here are five players you should consider signing off the waiver wire for Week 9:
1. Jonas Gray
What a great week running back Gray had against the Chicago Bears.
The undrafted back ran for 86 yards on 17 carries. He may be a "one hit wonder," but if you're having running back issues, he could be a great pickup. The New England Patriots will be without Stevan Ridley for the remainder of the season, so the Patriots need Gray to play well, especially next week when they face the 6-1 Denver Broncos led by Peyton Manning. Gray is available in almost every Fantasy League.
2. Denard Robinson
Even though he played quarterback at the University of Michigan, Robinson is playing great as a running back in the NFL. Robinson has 329 rushing yards this season on a 4.8 yard per carry average. Over the last two weeks, Robinson has run for 127 yards against the Cleveland Browns and 108 yards against the Miami Dolphins. His team may be 1-7, but Robinson is putting up huge numbers on the ground.
3. Dwayne Allen
After missing almost all of last because of an injury, Allen is starting to shine for the Indianapolis Colts. The 24-year-old tight end has 326 yards, but more importantly, he has six touchdowns. Quarterback Andrew Luck has a reliable target to throw to here, especially in the red-zone. Allen has had a receiving touchdown in five of his last six games played. The Colts will take on the New York Giants next week on Monday Night Football.
4. Odell Beckham Jr.
Beckham hasn't got much playing time this season, even though he was drafted in the first round by the Giants. It looks like that should change very soon. Beckham only has 10 catches for 106 yards through seven games, but with Victor Cruz out for the season, quarterback Eli Manning needs to start getting in touch with Beckman in a hurry. Luckily for Beckham and the Giants pass offense, they face the Colts next, who don't have a great pass defense.
5. Jace Amaro
It's been a rough start for the New York Jets, but if you're desperately in need of a tight end, Jace Amaro could be a good addition. Amaro, who the Jets drafted in the second round this year, has 32 catches and 285 yards this season. Not elite, but it's something. The Jets will take on the Kansas City Chiefs next at Arrowhead Stadium, and whoever plays quarterback has to get Amaro the football.
