The reliable and consistent fantasy football players have begun to separate themselves from the duds at this point in the season. You may think any player available on the waiver wire is there for a reason, but there are still reliable targets out there to help your team as the playoffs draw closer and closer.

Teams on a bye this week are the Atlanta Falcons, Cincinnati Bengals, Los Angeles Rams and New Orleans Saints.

Here are the top waiver-wire targets for Week 9 in fantasy football:

Carr’s stock continues to rise week after week. With another solid performance on Sunday against the Texans where he had 285 yards and three touchdowns, Carr finally seems comfortable in Jon Gruden’s system and may just be the quarterback on the future when the Raiders move to Las Vegas.

With a favorable matchup this week against Detroit, who is 26th against fantasy quarterbacks, Carr is definitely someone to keep your eye on. If you need a streamer for the bye week, Carr could be a strong option.
