Waiver Wire for Week 10

Let’s Go Shopping- Waiver Wire After Week 9

The injuries keep piling up, and four teams are on bye this week, which makes this an even more challenging week for your waiver wire picks. More QBs were knocked out of the game, and the RB situation is a continuing mess after a few reliable players. Check that secondary waiver wire market after you see who gets dropped. Sometimes, stashing that player on his bye week can be advantageous for the rest of the season. Let’s go shopping!

QB Sam Howell (35%) finished QB11 with 17.7 points with another winning effort with only 1 INT. 

QB Taylor Heinicke (95%) finished QB13 with 14.7 points with a much-improved effort from Ridder, who set the bar shallow this season.

Top FAAB or Waiver Targets This Week: 40% or More Available on ESPN

1. Kyler Murray 30% FAAB- Should return to the lineup this week. 

2. Tank Dell 20% FAAB- How is this guy NOT on 90%+ of rosters already? 

3. Trey McBride 20% FAAB- Earned five targets with a rookie QB and might get Murray back. 

4. Leonard Fournette 20% FAAB- Will take over Murray’s role on a high-scoring offense.

5. Sam Howell 20% FAAB- Last chance to roster this guy. 

6. Joshua Dobbs 20% FAAB- If you need a QB replacement, this offense produces points. 

7. Will Levis 20% FAAB- Worth the gamble because he is likely the new QB in town. 

8. Kareem Hunt 20% FAAB- It's Worth the gamble that he adds more volume. 

9. Taysom Hill 10% FAAB- Gadget plays plus snaps at TE, which adds to his value. 

10. Keaton Mitchell 5% FAAB- Got his first tough with the game 7-0; it wasn’t all garbage time points. 

Smaller Dollar Hollers

1.  Rashid Shaheed is getting enough snaps and more extended targets for flex play. 

2. Derious Davis- With Palmer and Everett sidelined, they need someone else to step up. 

3. Darynton Evans is worth a $1 holler with all the injuries with the Bears’ RBs. 

Wrapping It Up

Too many managers need to check back on the players available in their leagues after waivers clear on Tuesday Night or Wednesday. This time of the year, as we head through the Bye weeks, managers will try to float a guy through waivers if they have a tight roster due to injuries and byes. Always check to see who is dropped for their waiver moves because that player could be better than your worst bench player. Good luck with waivers this week.
