Week 8 Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Targets: Coleman and Cooper Jr.

Jonah Coleman and Omar Cooper Jr. are highlighted as top fantasy football waiver wire pickups for Week 8 following their impressive performances in Week 7. Coleman returned from injured reserve to lead Denver's backfield in snaps during a victory over the Cardinals, while Cooper recorded over 100 receiving yards and a touchdown for the second consecutive game.

Coleman had 9 carries for 54 yards and 2 receptions for 15 yards in the Broncos' 30-16 win. He played 30 snaps, significantly more than his teammates, indicating his role as the primary running back moving forward. Head coach Sean Payton noted the need to increase Coleman's touches, suggesting a promising future for him in the offense.

Meanwhile, Cooper has made a strong comeback from a high-ankle sprain, achieving 6 receptions for 103 yards and a touchdown in Week 6, followed by 5 receptions for 115 yards and another touchdown in Week 7. His performance positions him as a potential rising star, and he may surpass Adonai Mitchell as the Jets' second receiver. Fantasy managers are encouraged to consider both players for their rosters as they prepare for Week 8.
