Week 9 Waiver Adds Under 50% Owned

Bye Weeks : Cleveland Browns, New York Jets, and the Philadelphia Eagles.

1. Chimere Dike, WR, Tennessee Titans, 22% Owned - Dike has emerged as a key target in the Titans' offense since the firing of head coach Brian Callahan after Week 6, capitalizing on increased opportunities with rookie QB Cam Ward. In Week 7 against the Patriots, he caught all 4 targets for 70 yards and a touchdown, showcasing his speed with a 38-yard long. He followed up in Week 8 at the Colts with a team-high 7 receptions on 8 targets for 93 yards, proving his reliability in PPR formats. As the interim staff leans into passing to develop Ward, Dike's rising snap share (over 70% post-firing) makes him a intriguing WR3/flex add, especially against the vulnerable Jaguars secondary in Week 9.

2. JJ McCarthy, QB, Minnesota Vikings, 23% Owned - McCarthy is slated to make his return from IR this week after missing time with a knee injury, stepping back into a high-powered offense under head coach Kevin O'Connell, who's dialed up top-10 passing yards league-wide. With elite weapons in Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison drawing coverage, he's primed for efficient production as a QB2 streamer in deeper leagues. His matchup against the Bears' middling secondary could yield 250+ yards and multiple scores if the game script favors airing it out.

3. Kayshon Boutte, WR, New England Patriots, 40% Owned - Boutte followed up his Week 6 explosion with a steady Week 8 line (6 receptions, 78 yards, 1 TD on 7 targets), confirming his growing chemistry in Drake Maye's offense. The unit under Josh McDaniels is finding its rhythm, with DeMario Douglas locked in the slot, but Boutte's outside speed creates big-play potential as a WR3 in PPR leagues. Look for him to exploit the Falcons' secondary, which has surrendered the third-most fantasy points to wideouts this season.

4. Tyrone Tracy Jr., RB, New York Giants, 48% Owned - With rookie Cam Skattebo out for the season due to a dislocated ankle that required surgery, Tracy has stepped up as the primary back, rushing for 105 yards and a touchdown on 20 carries in Week 8's loss to the Eagles. His burst and receiving chops (adding 4 catches for 32 yards) give him strong PPR appeal, positioning him as a must-add RB2 with league-winning potential in a now-clear lead role against the 49ers' stout but beatable run defense.

5. Christian Watson, WR, Green Bay Packers, 16% Owned - Watson made a strong return from his knee injury in Week 8, hauling in 4 catches for 78 yards and a touchdown on 6 targets in a win over the Jaguars, showing his trademark speed and big-play ability. With Jordan Love back under center and the offense clicking, he's pushing for a larger role alongside Jayden Reed and Romeo Doubs, making him a high-upside WR3 stash in PPR leagues. His matchup against the Panthers' leaky secondary (allowing the second-most fantasy points to WRs) sets up for potential fireworks in a game with a 44.5 over/under.
