Fantasy Football Waiver Adds To Consider

These are the top players to consider adding from waivers this week. Unless otherwise noted, all players below are available in greater than 50% of Yahoo leagues (as of Sunday evening). Priorities and FAAB recommendations are meant to differentiate between some of the options available and are assuming 12-team, single-QB, fantasy formats.

Week 10 teams on bye :: Bengals, Cowboys, Chiefs, Titans

This week’s four teams on bye include three teams filled with fantasy starting options, and the Titans. While managers will be looking to replace several starting options, especially at WR, I don’t have any high-priority recommendations at any position this week, but there are still some solid streaming options and some longer-term holds to consider adding to fantasy rosters.

QB Pickups

J.J. McCarthy, MIN, Week 10 vs BAL

  • JJM tossed a pair of TDs and ran in another, but he completed just 56% of his passes for 143 yards in the Vikings’ win in Detroit. He wisely threw more than half of his 25 passing attempts to his star WR duo of Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison.

  • Low-priority add. McCarthy’s ceiling potential in this Vikings offense is what keeps me coming back to him as a QB waiver recommendation. He can be considered for spot starts either of the next two weeks, when the Vikings host the Ravens and Bears.

  • 5% or less of FAAB.

Other QB spot-start options ::

  • Marcus Mariota (WAS) - The dual-threat veteran will return to the lineup after Jayden Daniels’ elbow injury. The Commanders host the Lions as significant underdogs, but in one of the higher-total games of the week (49.5).

  • Justin Fields (NYJ) - HC Aaron Glenn hasn’t named a starting QB for this week at home against the Browns. The matchup is tough, but if Fields is named the starter, his rushing upside could be worth a fantasy spot start as well.

RB Pickups

Isaiah Davis, NYJ, Week 10 vs CLE

  • Last time we saw the Jets, in Week 8, Davis racked up 109 scrimmage yards in their first victory of the season including a 50-yard run and a 26-yard catch. He’s been carving out a nice complementary role alongside starter Breece Hall in the wake of Braelon Allen’s knee injury.

  • Medium-priority add. Despite his well-rounded skill set, Davis isn’t my favorite RB add this week for his matchup with a tough Browns defensive front. My interest lies in Allen’s combination of existing role and contingent upside behind Hall as a longer-term hold. While I’m not betting on Hall being traded, it’s a more realistic scenario than it would be for most backup RBs ahead of today’s (Tuesday 11/4) NFL trade deadline

  • 10 - 20% of FAAB.

Devin Singletary, NYG, Week 10 at CHI

  • Singletary out-touched (10-8) and out-gained (51-37) last week’s waiver darling, Tyrone Tracy Jr., in the Giants’ Week 9 loss. He’s made his own case for fantasy relevance in the wake of rookie Cam Skattebo’s season-ending injury.

  • Medium-priority add. My money is still on Tracy as the better fantasy option the rest of the way, but Singletary seems to have a standalone role and at worst, he’s the new injury-away option at RB behind Tracy for the Jaxson Dart-led Giants down the stretch.

  • 5 - 15% of FAAB.

Tank Bigsby, PHI, Week 10 at GB

  • Bigsby rushed nine times for 104 yards spelling Saquon Barkley after he left with a groin injury in Week 8. He appeared to be the preferred option to Will Shipley among the Eagles’ backup RBs. Barkley claimed to be “fine” after the game, and it is possible he could/would have returned if the score had been closer.

  • Medium-priority add. Bigsby should be a priority for managers who roster Barkley with the Eagles playing on Monday Night Football. You’ll want to have your bases covered in case Saquon winds up as a game-time decision.

  • 5 - 15% of FAAB.

Some additional lower-priority RBs to consider ::

  • Tyjae Spears (TEN) - Continues to play to a near-even RB split with veteran Tony Pollard. The Titans are on bye this week.

  • Dylan Sampson (CLE) - The NFL’s youngest player could have an increased role, likely in the passing game, if starter Quinshon Judkins misses the game or is limited with his shoulder injury. Judkins is reportedly day-to-day with the Browns coming off of their bye.

  • Devin Neal (NO) - The rookie is carving out a complementary role to Alvin Kamara, albeit on one of the worst offenses in the league. He’s a bench stash for now to bet on increased volume down the stretch for a Saints team that should have every reason to want a longer look at their young players.

WR Pickups

Alec Pierce, IND, Week 10 vs ATL

  • Pierce drew a team-best 13 targets in last week’s loss to the Steelers, catching six passes for 115 yards. He’s one of three Indy pass catchers with over 500 receiving yards this season, including 13-282 on 28 targets over the Colts’ last three games.

  • Medium-priority add. Pierce has a strong role on what has been one of the league’s top offenses this season, and he’s yet to score a TD. The matchup with the Falcons isn’t an easy one, but he’s a fine streaming option indoors in a game with a healthy implied point total (48.5).

  • 10 - 20% of FAAB.

Parker Washington, JAX, Week 10 at HOU

  • Washington was nearly the last man standing in the Jags’ WR room last week after Brian Thomas left with an ankle injury and Dyami Brown left with a concussion. He made the most of his opportunities, catching eight of his nine targets for 90 yards in their overtime victory.

  • Medium-priority add. His nine targets last week were somehow only his third most in a game this season. The third-year slot man has shown the ability to be a volume-based fantasy option in PPR formats. I think he’s usable this week if you need him, even in a tough matchup on the road in Houston.

  • 5 - 15% of FAAB.

Tory Horton, SEA, Week 10 vs AZ

  • Horton took advantage of Cooper Kupp’s injury absence and caught all four of his targets for a  4-48-2 stat line in primetime. He has a silly five TD grabs on his 13-161 receiving line for the season and also returned a punt for a TD earlier in the year.

  • Low-to-medium priority add. While I usually like to reserve my fantasy bench spots for RB handcuff types, Horton is the type of WR I’m willing to make room for, where I can. He’s shown a knack for the explosive play and should see his role continue to expand as the season progresses.

  • 10% or less of FAAB.

Some additional WR adds to consider ::

  • Christian Watson (GB) - Caught another long pass last week (2-58 total) and should continue to see more looks for a Packers team scrambling to replace their top pass catcher, TE Tucker Kraft.

  • Darius Slayton (NYG) - Second on the team with seven targets last week and his 62 receiving yards led the squad.

  • Kyle Williams (NE) - Had some coachspeak from Mike Vrabel that he will have “greater opportunity moving forward” and could help fill in for Kayshon Boutte if he misses time with his hamstring injury.

TE Pickups

Colston Loveland, CHI, Week 10 vs NYG

  • Loveland tore up a generous Bengals defense for a breakout 6-118-2 game last week including the game-winning 58-yard TD catch in a wacky 47-42 shootout. Loveland’s TE teammate, Cole Kmet, left the game with a concussion and obviously did not return.

  • Medium-priority add. Loveland was a top waiver priority two weeks ago when Kmet sat out but then dropped in the majority of leagues ahead of last week’s juicy Bengals matchup with Kmet returning to the lineup. Assuming Kmet misses this week, I think Loveland makes for a great spot start, but I also think he’s worth holding onto even after Kmet’s return. I’d like to see what HC Ben Johnson has in store for his first-ever draft selection down the stretch of his rookie season.

  • 10 - 20% of FAAB.

Harold Fannin Jr., CLE, Week 10 at NYJ

  • Fannin leads the Browns in all major receiving categories this season and continued the trend with 6-62-1 in Week 8 before last week’s bye. The Browns are featuring Fannin and veteran David Njoku (4-37-1) in unique roles independent of each other this season.

  • Low-to-medium priority add. Fannin is a borderline TE starter in PPR formats already. He’s another talented rookie TE in what appears to be a special class, and he could see his role expand in the second half of the season.

  • 10% or less of FAAB.

Some additional lower-priority TE adds to consider ::

  • Isaiah Likely (BAL) - Led Ravens TEs in targets, catches, and yards last week but was the only one of the three not to find the end zone.

  • Mason Taylor (NYJ) - Another rookie TE with an ascending role.

  • Theo Johnson (NYG) - Jaxson Dart’s favorite red-zone target caught his fifth TD in six games last week.

  • Luke Musgrave (GB) - Caught three passes for 34 yards last week. Should get a shot to be the next man up in GB’s TE room after Tucker Kraft’s ACL tear.
