Many NFL teams have reached their halfway point of the season, making it a perfect time to change your perception of the early underachievers and overachievers.

Taking advantage of these market inefficiencies could be the key to your championship hopes.  Week 8 wasn't a particularly big one for injuries, but with six more teams on byes this week, your league should see a flurry of transactions. Below, we take a look at the top available names.

Robby Anderson, WR Team: New York Jets Week 8 stats: 104 receiving yards, 1 rushing yard, 6 receptions, 1 touchdown One thing to know: Anderson posted his second game with at least 90 yards and a touchdown on Sunday, but the Temple product was nevertheless owned by just 28% of Yahoo fantasy managers.
