WR Omar Cooper Jr., New York Jets34.7% RosteredWatch sports LIVE with fuboTV (free trial)Two consecutive weeks of earning five-plus targets and finding the end zone puts Omar Cooper Jr. firmly atop the Week 8 waiver wire pickups. Cementing himself as one of the top pass catchers in the pass-happy NYJ offense, Cooper is in the WR3/FLEX conversation heading into Week 8, where the Jets will face the Las Vegas Raiders.2. WR Antonio Williams, Washington Commanders7.1% RosteredCary Edmondson-Imagn ImagesWith Terry McLaurin suffering a season-ending injury, Stefon Diggs and rookie Antonio Williams will be asked to take on larger roles. Comments from head coach Dan Quinn make it sound like Williams will see his role grow much larger than what it currently is, and that makes him a top WR target for your Week 8 waiver wire pickups.Williams has commanded four-plus targets in four games so far this year, and having that floor already established gives him weekly flex value for your fantasy football roster.3. RB Jonah Coleman, Denver Broncos24.2% RosteredRookie running back Jonah Coleman is set to return for the Denver Broncos in Week 8, and he finds himself as the top running back in ClutchPoints’ Week 8 waiver wire pickups. Before his injury, Coleman showed some flashes as the potential bellcow of the future for Denver’s backfield, and he will likely take some work away from JK Dobbins upon returning, giving him weekly RB3 value.4. TE Brenton Strange, Jacksonville Jaguars36.1% RosteredBrenton Strange is the lone tight end in the Week 8 waiver wire pickups, as he continues to be one of the featured pass catchers in the crowded Jacksonville passing attack. Strange has seen five-plus targets in each of his past four games and seven-plus in his last three, racking up 22 catches over that four-game span.While he has only found the end zone once this season, Strange has a weekly TE1 floor with his current workload, and he can absolutely be your rest-of-season solution at tight end, with the Jaguars coming off their Week 7 bye.5.
