Fantasy Waiver Wire Week 8: 5 to add, drop, buy low, sell high

• Add Zach Charbonnet: The rookie running back has completely taken over passing down duties in Seattle, which should lead to more opportunities going forward.

• Drop Michael Gallup: The Dallas Cowboys veteran wide receiver has started losing playing time to Jalen Tolbert.

• Sell high on DeVonta Smith: Smith posted his best game in recent weeks, but the Philadelphia Eagles’ upcoming schedule is brutal for wide receivers.

5 PLAYERS TO ADD

1. RB Zach Charbonnet, Seattle Seahawks

Kenneth Walker III didn’t practice earlier in the week because of a calf injury, so he played less than usual in Week 8.

• Walker ran eight times for 66 yards, adding a four-yard catch. Charbonnet ran five times for 53 yards and caught two passes for 11 yards.
• Charbonnet received a slight increase in playing time on early downs and in short-yardage situations, likely because of Walker's injury.
• The big difference in snaps occurred on third downs and in two-minute drills. Charbonnet and DeeJay Dallas had been sharing that role. This week, Charbonnet completely took over.
• Dallas was not on the injury report this week. He played on special teams and didn’t record a snap on offense, so Charbonnet's increased role in passing situations should be here to stay.
• Charbonnet is worth a waiver wire target, thanks to his increased role if Walker's injury lingers.

2. WR Michael Wilson, Arizona Cardinals
