Week 9 fantasy football coverage focuses on waiver wire pickups, with both outlets highlighting rookie options—particularly running back Mike Washington Jr.—as priorities for managers to consider. The Athletic lists “highest-priority pickups” for the week, emphasizing that rookies figure prominently in its top running back and wide receiver suggestions.
Yahoo Sports similarly presents a Week 9 waiver wire column built around a set of suggested roster additions. Its framing centers on “good RB pickups” and includes Mike Washington Jr. among the featured names. While The Athletic’s approach spotlights a broader mix across positions and rookies’ rise, Yahoo’s emphasis is primarily on running backs that fantasy players can add through waivers this week. Across both reports, the common thread is that rookie contributors are a key theme for Week 9 waiver activity.
