Week 9 is here and we’re entering the homestretch in many season long fantasy leagues. With big injuries to big names such as Matt Forte, Steve Smith, and Le’Veon Bell, there are roster moves to be made. Here’s a look at players to target on the Week 9 Waiver Wire.

The matchup for Week 9 will be a good one as the Bucs face a Giants defense that is giving up the seventh most fantasy points to opposing QBs.

Jeremy Langford (RB, Chicago Bears)
Matt Forte suffered a knee injury in Week 8 and his timetable is uncertain, so that means it’s next man up for the Bears. Many have thought rookie Jeremy Langford is the future in Chicago, and now will be the time to find out if that’s the case. Langford is going to be a must add going into Week 9.
