Welcome to week 9 of last-minute moves to make. This article is intended to give you late-week waiver and free-agent advice based on late-week news and gameday inactives. Injuries and other late-week developments can have a huge impact on lines and rosters, and being up-to-date on these, especially before waivers and free agency locks before kickoff, is a huge advantage.
Stash Tony Jones
Emari Demercado will miss week 9, leaving the Arizona Cardinals down to their third-string starter Keontay Ingram. This will elevate journeyman Tony Jones to the injury-away role. Starter James Conner is eligible to return in week 10, but his return is not guaranteed. Jones could find himself in a spot start or a continued injury-away role, depending on how the backfield unfolds in the coming weeks.
Scrub Your Roster
This is a critical time of the season to maximize every roster spot. With half the season gone and a bye week gauntlet upcoming before the fantasy playoffs, make sure your roster is optimized.
