Fantasy Football IDP Waiver Wire Pickups: Week 8 (2026)

Week 7 produced plenty of defensive production, and the article turns that into a Week 8 IDP waiver-wire list with specific pickup targets. Kendal Daniels (ATL), rostered on just 1% of Yahoo leagues, is highlighted after Week 7 totals of nine solos, two assists, one tackle for loss, a forced fumble, a fumble recovery, one interception and a pass defended. The write-up notes he has three straight games with six-plus solos, including two “spike” weeks and one “splash” week, and suggests him for a plus matchup versus the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Micah McFadden (NYG), also at 1%, is recommended as an immediate LB3 with LB2 upside after logging 10 solos and two assists in Week 7, filling in after Tremaine Edmunds was lost for the season with a shoulder injury. Christian Elliss (NE) (2% rostered) and Isaiah McDuffie (GB) (1%) are also discussed, both tied to Week 8 bye-week value and upcoming matchups.
