Top 5 Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Stashes for Week 8

As Week 8 approaches, fantasy football players are advised to stash certain players before the upcoming games to gain an advantage in the waiver wire process. This article identifies five players who are currently rostered in fewer than 30% of Yahoo! leagues.

The Indianapolis Colts have begun trading key players, including Quenton Nelson and DeForest Buckner, and may also trade Jonathan Taylor. This situation could elevate Seth McGowan to a leading role in the backfield, making him a worthwhile stash despite the team's struggles.

Samaje Perine has demonstrated his ability to perform when given a significant role, and if Chase Brown continues to underperform, Perine may see increased touches in a potent offense. Adonai Mitchell, who has returned from injury, could benefit from a potential trade involving Garrett Wilson, making him a player to consider stashing. Elic Ayomanor had a notable performance with seven targets last week and could excel against the Bengals with Carnell Tate injured. Lastly, Kyle Williams is positioned to take advantage of a weak Dolphins defense, especially with A.J. Brown likely sidelined and Romeo Doubs on injured reserve.
