Best fantasy football waiver wire pickups for Week 10

Another mostly injury-free Sunday might be good for your current lineups, but it doesn’t necessarily help future ones. With few injuries and breakouts, our early look at the top Week 10 fantasy waiver wire pickups and free agent adds is headlined by such luminaries as Jeff Wilson Jr., Terrace Marshall Jr., Noah Fant, Mecole Hardman, and Cole Kmet. Yeah, times are tough. 

WEEK 10 FANTASY: FAAB planner | Trade advice

To be fair, a lot of this week’s top pickups didn’t play on Sunday afternoon, as they were either on bye (Latavius Murray, Greg Dulcich), banged-up (Kyren Williams, Treylon Burks), or involved in a prime-time game (Isiah Pacheco, Isaiah Likely). These players are all featured in our full free agent recommendations, but once again, the bulk of the list is streamer suggestions for QB, WR, TE, and D/ST. Four teams (Bengals, Ravens, Jets, Patriots) are on bye in Week 10, so plenty of fantasy owners will be looking for fill-ins, especially at TE. The streamer suggestions are grouped by position and can be found at the end of the list.

WEEK 10 PPR RANKINGS:
QBs | RBs | WRs | TEs | D/STs | Kickers

It’s unlikely you’ll have an impulse to use a top waiver claim this week. Dulcich might be worthy of that honor, but that’s only if you really need a TE. Wilson Jr., Pacheco, Murray, and Williams certainly have value in deep leagues, but you shouldn’t use a top-three claim on them unless you’re desperate at RB.

WEEK 10 STANDARD RANKINGS:
QBs | RBs | WRs | TEs | D/STs | Kickers

Even with the lack of exciting names on the wire, there are enough potential contributors for this to be a busy free-agent week. Whether it’s stashing injured/suspended players or grabbing a streamer, have your targets in order and be ready to pounce on Wednesday morning. You usually don’t want to use anything but a bottom-three claim on a streamer (depending on how quickly you can cycle back up the priority list in your leagues), but if you think your season is on the line, then do what you have to do.
