In Week 9, Detroit, Seattle, Tampa, and Washington have a bye. The only quarterback needing a replacement is Tom Brady. But with so many playmakers at other positions from Tampa Bay, Seattle, and yes, even the Lions and WFT, this week's waiver wire is crucial for all looking to make a run to the fantasy playoffs.

In the high-stake market, sharp fantasy owners stashed Tagovailoa as a cover for Russell Wilson and Tom Brady. The Dolphins have a home matchup with the Texans in Week 9. The Bills’ defense held Tagovailoa to 215 combined yards with a rushing score but Miami played much better over the previous two contests in the passing game (329/2 and 291/4).
