Week 8 Fantasy Waiver Wire: Dart, Johnson and Gadsden Headline Priority Adds

Six Week 8 byes plus fresh injuries elevate low-rostered breakout candidates into urgent pickups.

Overview

  • Six teams are off in Week 8 — the Cardinals, Lions, Jaguars, Raiders, Rams and Seahawks — tightening waiver needs across positions.
  • Giants QB Jaxson Dart is highlighted as a top add after a breakout vs. Denver with 283 passing yards and four total touchdowns.
  • Tight end targets include Juwan Johnson, who drew seven looks for 79 yards and ranks as a steady TE option, and Oronde Gadsden II, who has 14 catches for 232 yards and a touchdown over two games with strong route and target shares.
  • At wide receiver, Kayshon Boutte’s multi-week scoring surge and Xavier Legette’s 11 targets for a 9-92-1 line fuel pickup cases, with Tez Johnson’s role rising after Mike Evans’ broken collarbone.
  • Additional streamers cited include Joe Flacco after a 342-yard, three-TD game for Cincinnati, Bears RB Kyle Monangai following 81 yards and a score, and the Falcons D/ST against a Miami offense coming off four turnovers.
