10 Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Targets Heading Into Week 9
With Miami's receiver corps crippled by injuries, DeVante Parker had a big day in Week 8. Which other players are worth picking up?

Chris Godwin, WR, Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Yahoo Ownership: 53%

If Chris Godwin is still available in your league, you need to go and get him.

He's been touchdown-dependent to start 2018, but he's also been scoring them. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are pretty stacked at wide receiver, so he's been understandably resigned to a part-time role on the offense. But in Week 8, Mike Evans suffered what appears to be a minor injury and news broke that DeSean Jackson requested a trade.

Godwin would instantly become an every-week option if Evans misses any time or if Jackson is dealt. In two games without Jackson at the end of 2017, Godwin posted 209 receiving yards and a touchdown, and when Evans sat for a one-game suspension, Godwin drew 10 targets, converting them into 5 receptions and 68 yards.

Godwin has multiple paths to increased playing time, and if he does get a promotion, you'll want him on your team.
