Top RB Waiver Wire Adds for Week 9
This could be the craziest time to own a running back for fantasy football. Ezekiel Elliott's suspension has been reinstated yet again, which leads this weeks waiver wire adds.
The top back to add this week is Alfred Morris, but with the Jay Ajayi trade the running back situation on many teams leaves fantasy opportunities abound.

As I mentioned previously, Ezekiel Elliott's suspension is back on, which means there will be a mad scramble to grab Morris on the waiver wire. He is the undisputed number one back for the Cowboys with Elliot out.

The trade of Jay Ajayi is a surprising one to the Eagles and allows for Drake to get first cracks at number one in the depth chart with Damien Williams behind him.
Do not expect either running back to run away with huge numbers with the increase in carries. Ajayi was a serviceable RB1, but now his touches will likely be split between two running backs.
Consider Drake to be a low-end RB2. The Dolphins are a bad team and their running game has a lot to be desired.
