Two key WR injuries. Rookie breakouts at RB and TE. And a brutal six-team bye week. Matt Schauf and Jared Smola of DraftSharks.com break down all the top Week 8 waiver wire moves, including who to target after the Nico Collins and Mike Evans injuries, why Oronde Gadsden might be for real, why Kyle Monangai just became more than a fantasy football handcuff, and which QBs and defenses make the best streamers. We'll also take a look ahead to help you out-plan your league mates.
