Between suspensions, injuries, pending appeals, deactivations, re-activations, and ongoing controversies, NFL backfields are an ever-shifting landscape for fantasy owners to try and navigate. Fortunately for all the owner losing RB, there are some nice options on the waiver wire in many leagues that offer a variety of long-term and short-term upside in this turbulent start to the season.

For the sake of all our waiver wire posts, all players listed are owned in less than 50% of ESPN leagues.
