8 Fantasy Football Sleepers for Week 9

Ito Smith is on the waiver wire in more than half of leagues, and as a key part of a high-powered offense, he's someone we can turn to in Week 9.

We're through the halfway point of the fantasy football season, and if your team is struggling, we're in even deeper.

Not all teams have the luxury of Week 8 being "halfway". Very few teams have locked up a playoff spot, and while there are certainly some long-shots, it's hard to be mathematically eliminated from the playoffs in most leagues at this stage.

There's still time to turn your season around -- time to find the right players to plug in to your lineup while you deal with bye weeks or to replace your injured or under-performing stars.

Of course, even the best teams aren't a lock to be playing a meaningful game in Week 16. With how much the NFL changes week-to-week, you can't afford to get complacent with your roster. Even if your starting lineup is set in stone this week, you should always be on the lookout for players to add to your bench for depth.

Let's get right into it and look at eight fantasy football sleepers for Week 9.
