Fantasy Football Week 10 Waiver Wire: Players to Watch and Worry Over
As the NFL season progresses, fantasy football managers are faced with an increasing number of bye weeks and injuries to navigate. The Week 10 waiver wire presents an opportunity to find some midseason potential gems to bolster your roster.
One player to keep an eye on is Keaton Mitchell, who may be a must-start in the coming weeks. Additionally, Demario Douglas, Noah Brown, and Quentin Johnston are emerging as top options and warrant consideration for your lineup.
When considering waiver wire additions, it’s important to note that players must be under 60% rostered on Yahoo. Here is a list of potential pickups in order of preference, with a focus on potential upside over immediate middling production.
It’s also important to keep in mind that there are no specific suggestions for Free Agent Budget (FAB) spending. The amount to spend on a player can vary wildly based on league tendencies and individual team needs, such as replacing an injured RB1 with a clear backup option.
As for streaming options, quarterbacks and tight ends are grouped together, and weekly rankings can change once projections and rankings are finalized. Defensive special teams (DST) can also see shifts in rankings due to matchup considerations.
With that in mind, it’s important to take note of the upcoming bye weeks for Week 10. Teams on bye include the Kansas City Chiefs, Los Angeles Rams, Miami Dolphins, and Philadelphia Eagles.
In terms of player performances causing concern, Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson is drawing scrutiny. Jackson has struggled to put up consistent fantasy numbers, with only one game of 18+ points since Week 4. Additionally, he has recorded three games with 12 or fewer points, including two games with zero touchdown passes and two games with just one touchdown.
Jackson’s rushing production has also been limited, with three games of 36 or fewer rushing yards in the same time frame. Fantasy managers relying on Jackson as their QB1 may need to consider backup options or contingency plans moving forward.
As fantasy football managers continue to navigate the challenges of bye weeks and injuries, the Week 10 waiver wire presents an opportunity to bolster rosters with potential breakout players. Keeping a close eye on emerging talents and monitoring the performances of established stars will be crucial as the season progresses.
