As we venture into Week 9, there are a few fantasy football waiver wire pickups worth a mention. If these guys are available on your fantasy league’s waiver wire and you need to fill a gap, sign these fantasy sleepers and be confident in their production.
QB Alex Smith, San Francisco 49ers
Alex Smith was decent in his first start of the season against the tough Colts. Against the Titans in Week 9, Smith is very much a sleeper. He could be huge.
RB Ryan Moats, Houston Texans
The Texans were mad at Steve Slaton for his fumbling. They gave Ryan Moats a shot and he scored three touchdowns. If he gets a start in Week 9, go ahead and start him in your fantasy league.

WR Mike Thomas, Jacksonville Jaguars
It’s time to pay attention to Mike Thomas. The Jaguars wide receiver has 11 catches in the last two games. In three of his last four games, the rookie wide receiver has at least four grabs.
TE Donald Lee, Green Bay Packers
Donald Lee has been an afterthought this season. But with Jermichael Finley injured, Lee’s value is now higher. He’s had at least three catches in four straight games and faces a horrible Tampa Bay squad in Week 9 of the 2009 fantasy football season.
I also like Malcom floyd from the Chargers this week now that Chris Chambers has been waived.
