Waiver Wire2026 NFL Week 8
Published Tuesday, October 27, 2026
Four adds with a claim priority, two drop candidates, and one deep-league stash. Researched live by AI from that week's news, so verify before you act.
Waiver Adds
- Jonah Coleman (RB, DEN). Claim priority: HIGH He is back and played 50% of the snaps in his return, posting 9-54-0 rushing and 2-15-0 receiving in the Broncos' 30-16 win over the Cardinals, and he has a good chance to be Denver's lead back for the rest of the season.
- Omar Cooper Jr. (WR, NYJ). Claim priority: HIGH He has back-to-back games with 100 yards and a score in his return from injury, including five catches for 115 yards and a touchdown on five targets against Miami, and he gets the Raiders next.
- Antonio Williams (WR, WAS). Claim priority: MEDIUM The Commanders will not increase Stefon Diggs' role with McLaurin out, and Dan Quinn said they will look to others to step up, specifically rookie Antonio Williams, who over the last three games played about two-thirds of the offensive snaps.
- Chig Okonkwo (TE, WAS). Claim priority: LOW In his last two games before the bye, the veteran saw a combined 13 targets and recorded 129 yards as a receiver, and the McLaurin injury only opens more volume.
Drop Candidates
- Mark Andrews (TE, BAL). He has posted less than 30 receiving yards in five consecutive outings and has only once found his way into the end zone during the 2026 NFL season.
- Chris Godwin Jr. (WR, TB). He hasn't scored at all across seven games and hasn't yet eclipsed 46 receiving yards in a game, so he is a low-upside bench clog.
Deep League Stash
- Bam Knight (RB, ARI). With Jeremiyah Love sidelined, Knight led his team in rushing against Denver with seven carries for 48 yards and also caught three passes for 15 yards on five targets, giving him PPR value at 25% rostered.
