Jonah Coleman, Rachaad White Lead Week 8 Waiver Adds at 25% and 20% FAAB

Q: Why is Hunter Henry the top tight end add for Week 8, and which overlooked waiver name could outscore him?

Hunter Henry is the top Week 8 tight end add because he offers both recent production and a favorable matchup. He has delivered four straight strong games, including a 7-catch, 71-yard outing in Week 7, and has become one of Drake Maye’s most reliable targets. That steady volume matters at a volatile position, and the matchup strengthens the case: Miami has been one of the league’s most generous defenses to tight ends, allowing the third-most fantasy points to the position and recently giving up two touchdown catches to Mason Taylor. Henry’s appeal is not just touchdown chasing. He has posted between 44 and 71 receiving yards in four consecutive games, which gives him a safer floor than many waiver-wire tight ends. With byes hitting several teams and tight end remaining shallow across most leagues, that combination of target stability and matchup makes him the clearest add. The overlooked name who could outscore him is Greg Dulcich. He is far less rostered, but his Week 7 role was encouraging: five catches for 86 yards while leading Miami in receptions, receiving yards and targets. He has now seen at least five targets in three of his last four games, and his snap share also points to a growing role. If that usage holds and he finally scores his first touchdown of the season against New England, Dulcich has the upside to beat Henry’s total despite being a much deeper waiver option.

Coleman and White were flagged as the top Week 8 waiver targets, with managers urged to spend at least 25% FAAB on Coleman and 20% on White if either is available.
Coleman returned from a four-game ankle absence to lead Denver backs with 54 rushing yards, and Sean Payton said the Broncos need to get him more touches despite competition from J.K. Dobbins and RJ Harvey.
White is projected to hold Washington's lead-back role for at least three more games while Jacory Croskey-Merritt remains on injured reserve, giving him immediate PPR appeal even in a committee.
Week 8 demand is being driven by four teams on bye and a long injury list, pushing other recommended adds such as Jacoby Brissett and Geno Smith at quarterback, plus Hunter Henry at tight end.
The column frames this as a heavy-spending waiver week, with roster shortages and shifting depth charts likely to force aggressive bids across positions.
