10 Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Targets Heading Into Week 9
Which players on your league's waiver wire should you be looking to add to your fantasy football squad as we enter Week 9?

Ronnie Hillman, RB, Denver Broncos

ESPN Ownership: 77.1%
Yahoo! Ownership: 69%

After being promoted as the team's starting tailback, Ronnie Hillman rewarded the Broncos coaching staff by running for two first half touchdowns that would give the Broncos an early lead over the Packers that it would never relinquish.

While he wasn't as efficient with his touches Sunday night as he has been throughout the rest of the season -- Hillman came into this game boasting an above-average 0.07 Rushing NEP per attempt -- he still managed a respectable 0.16 Rushing NEP on his 19 attempts.

While the Broncos seem to be taking a committee approach at the running back position (C.J. Anderson himself had 101 yards rushing and a touchdown on 14 carries in this contest as well), given the commitment of the coaching staff to the running game and the fact that Hillman is now tailback 1A to Anderson's 1B, it's obvious that Hillman deserves to be owned in every fantasy football league this year.
