Trey Benson’s return from injury is nearing, and fantasy managers shouldn’t hesitate to get him back in their lineups. Mark J. Rebilas \/ Imagn Images<\/p>\n

The Week 10 fantasy football waiver wire is thin. It makes stashing those high-upside pieces and top-notch RB backups all the more important. As I talked about on my podcast, Tyrone Tracy \u2014 well, Brian Daboll \u2014 burned us in Week 9. While that is disappointing, if you had Tracy stashed already, you didn\u2019t burn a ton of FAB or your waiver priority for a player who lacks the value we hoped to see. While there aren\u2019t any jaw-dropping options this week, there are plenty of waiver wire pickups you should stash for the stretch run.<\/p>\n

Waiver Wire Running Backs<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Trey Benson, ARI<\/strong> \u2014 Whenever Benson returns, he\u2019ll have RB2 value with upside for more.<\/li>\n
  2. Tyjae Spears, TEN<\/strong> \ud83d\ude0f<\/li>\n
  3. Devin Singletary, NYG<\/strong> \u2014 Was getting a near 50\/50 workload split before Tyrone Tracy got banged up late in the game. Even if Tracy is good-to-go, Singletary looks to have an even share of the work, despite Tracy\u2019s ability and performance as the starter last year.<\/li>\n
  4. Bhayshul Tuten, JAX<\/strong> \ud83d\ude0f<\/li>\n
  5. Emari Demercado and Bam Knight, ARI<\/strong> \u2014 Only here if Benson doesn\u2019t return, and even then, it\u2019s a near-even split that could go either way. Additionally, even though Demercado looks to have a bit higher ceiling, the Seahawks are not a great matchup.<\/li>\n
  6. Jaret Patterson, LAC<\/strong> \u2014 Kimani Vidal continues to underperform, and the Chargers could turn to Patterson more, even as the lead, with Jim Harbaugh acknowledging Omarion Hampton won\u2019t have his return window opened until after their Week 12 bye.<\/li>\n
  7. Devin Neal, NO<\/strong> \u2014 The Saints could lean into Neal more as the season goes on, as Alvin Kamara isn\u2019t their long-term plan.<\/li>\n
  8. Tyler Allgeier, ATL<\/strong> \ud83e\udee1<\/li>\n
  9. Isaiah Davis, NYJ<\/strong> \ud83e\udee1<\/li>\n
  10. Blake Corum, LAR<\/strong> \ud83e\udee1<\/li>\n
  11. Sean Tucker, TB<\/strong> \u2014 Until we know Bucky Irving is back, Tucker is worth holding for a deep-league flier play or RB2 if Rachaad White got hurt.<\/li>\n
  12. Terrell Jennings, NE<\/strong> \u2014 Only if Rhamondre Stevenson is out, and even then, only as a desperation play. TreVeyon Henderson still had 18 touches and 60% of the work, but Jennings\u2019 40%, which included a goal-line touchdown run, has deep-league value.<\/li>\n
  13. Tank Bigsby, PHI<\/strong> \u2014 Saquon Barkley is seemingly good-to-go, but Bigsby is worth stashing where possible.<\/li>\n
  14. Dylan Sampson, CLE<\/strong> \u2014 As with Barkley, it sounds like Quinshon Judkins is okay, but if he is out, Sampson has more upside than Jerome Ford.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      • Nick Chubb, HOU<\/strong> \u2014 Sabotage drop! Two games over 7.9 fantasy points, none since the Week 6 bye.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

          Waiver Wire Wide Receivers<\/strong><\/p>\n

            \n
          1. Troy Franklin, DEN <\/strong>\ud83d\ude0f<\/li>\n
          2. Christian Watson, GB <\/strong>\u2014 Weekly WR4 boom\/bust play. Watson has 185 air yards in two games.<\/li>\n
          3. Alec Pierce, IND <\/strong>\ud83d\ude0f<\/li>\n
          4. Kayshon Boutte, NE <\/strong>\ud83d\ude0f (if healthy)<\/li>\n
          5. Parker Washington, JAX <\/strong>\u2014 With the Jakobi Meyers trade, Washington slides back from the top spot. The matchup this week is tough (Texans). Assuming this means Brian Thomas is out for multiple weeks, Washington will rank slightly ahead of Meyers in Week 10 but behind him rest of the season. Going forward, Meyers will be a WR3\/4 with a nice floor with Washington volume-reliant and a slighlty higher ceiling. Both will have some matchup-reliant potential.<\/li>\n
          6. Tez Johnson, TB <\/strong>\u2014 Until Chris Godwin is officially back, Johnson will sit in the WR4 tier alongside Alec Pierce, Kayshon Boutte types, and maybe even with Godwin.<\/li>\n
          7. Tory Horton, SEA<\/strong> \u2014 Got the bump last week (Friday pod, Sunday morning chat) from \u201cStash\u201d to a possible WR4 start with Cooper Kupp out. Even if Kupp returns, Horton is a worthy hold in all leagues, as he could push Kupp to the No. 3\/slot role.<\/li>\n
          8. Chimere Dike, TEN <\/strong>\u2014 Interestingly, the Titans bumped Elic Ayomanor to third in routes, while Dike and Van Jefferson were the top two. The Titans head into the bye with Dike looking like their top weapon, given his connection with Cam Ward. If Calvin Ridley returns, Dike would be a WR4\/5, but if Ridley is out of the picture, Dike is a volume-based WR4 with weekly Top 30 upside.<\/li>\n
          9. Josh Downs, IND <\/strong>\ud83d\ude0f<\/li>\n
          10. Tre Tucker, LV <\/strong>\u2014 With the Meyers trade, Tucker is a WR4 with upside to hit the Top 25 any given week. However, with Brock Bowers back, it\u2019s hard to like any Raiders wideout for reliability.<\/li>\n
          11. Calvin Austin, PIT <\/strong>\u2014 The No. 2 for the Steelers. Hail Mary play.<\/li>\n
          12. Darius Slayton, NYG <\/strong>\u2014 Calvin Austin on the Giants.<\/li>\n
          13. Cedric Tillman, CLE <\/strong>\u2014 Eligible to return, and while it\u2019s likely that only the tight ends have value with Dillon Gabriel, Tillman flashed a few times to start the season.<\/li>\n
          14. Elic Ayomanor, TEN <\/strong>\u2014 The Titans may get a renewed focus on youth instead of trotting out Van Jefferson as a top-two option, but we\u2019re still scratching our heads at the Titans\u2019 use of their rookies.<\/li>\n
          15. Andrei Iosivas, CIN<\/strong> \u2014 The Bengals are on a bye, so Tee Higgins has extra time, but he left late with an injury in Week 9. We\u2019ve seen Iosivas post WR3 numbers with Ja\u2019Marr Chase or Higgins sidelined in the past.<\/li>\n
          16. Jalen Coker, CAR <\/strong>\u2014 Finally pulled alongside Xavier Legette in routes (Legette was briefly banged up). Coker could also start pushing for value, though we\u2019d need better play from Bryce Young.<\/li>\n
          17. Kyle Williams, NE <\/strong>\u2014 Williams could fill in for Boutte, but 1) the Patriots could shift Stefon Diggs outside more, giving DeMario Douglas more run, and 2) Williams would only have WR5 boom\/bust value if Boutte is out.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

            Stashes<\/strong><\/p>\n

              \n
            • Jayden Reed, GB<\/strong> \u2014 Eligible to return. For pure upside stash, I\u2019d put him No. 1.<\/li>\n
            • Brandon Aiyuk, SF<\/strong> \u2014 I\u2019m not stashing without an IR spot or deep bench. His practice window isn\u2019t open yet, and the Niners have a Week 14 bye. Aiyuk has Top 20 ability, though.<\/li>\n

                                \n
                              • Jacory Croskey-Merritt, RB, WAS<\/strong>: \ud83e\udd86\ud83e\udd86\ud83e\udd86\ud83e\udd86\ud83e\udd86\u00a0\u2014 Whether a big or small workload, JCM has only hit double-digit fantasy points once since Week 1 against the Giants. It\u2019s gotten worse since his huge game against the Chargers with 5.3, 3.7, 2.5 and 4.6 points, respectively, the past four games. What\u2019s worse is his RBTouch% has declined each game, down to 50.0% in Week 9. Sure, it was a blowout, but Jayden Daniels could be lost for the season, and the Commanders already had hesitancy about JCM sustaining a full-season workload after playing just one game since 2023. With almost no passing game work and a schedule with several tough matchups, Croskey-Merritt likely won\u2019t climb from the RB3\/Flex tier.<\/li>\n
                              • Xavier Worthy, WR, KC<\/strong>: \ud83e\udd86\ud83e\udd86\ud83e\udd86 \u2014 Worthy hasn\u2019t seen a large dip in targets with Rashee Rice back. He went from 20.4% in Weeks 4-6 to 18.9% the past three games, including an identical 24.1% mark with Rice in Week 9. So, what\u2019s the issue? Well, it\u2019s the same as it was pre-Rice. It\u2019s the rapport \u2014 or lack thereof \u2014 with Patrick Mahomes. He\u2019s completing just 30.8% of passes with 20+ Air Yards, and it\u2019s even worse with Worthy. When Mahomes targets Worthy, he\u2019s completed just 16.7% of those passes, compared to 67.6% when it\u2019s fewer than 19 Air Yards, including a super high 66.7 OffTGT% on those big throws. For reference, those same attempts were off target only 40% of the time in Worthy\u2019s rookie season. There is optimism for them getting back on the same page given the talent involved, but with Rice not missing a beat while sidelined (injury and suspension), the Chiefs don\u2019t need it to happen. Worthy is a WR4, in the same tier as the aforementioned Pierce, Boutte, etc. types until further notice.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                                  \n
                                • Sam Darnold, QB, SEA<\/strong>: \ud83c\udf44\ud83c\udf44 \u2014 Darnold is coming off his second game with 27+ fantasy points, which, not surprisingly, was his second game with four passing touchdowns. Despite it being his third game of 20+ points in the past four games, it\u2019s not a sign of his becoming Matthew Stafford-ian. Darnold had a 16.7 TD\/ATT% in Week 9 and 11.8% in his Week 5 four-TD game. He\u2019s topped 7.4% just one other time \u2014 Week 3 when Darnold went 14-for-18 with two touchdowns against the Saints. Darnold\u2019s Comp% is tied for sixth at 70.4 with Josh Allen, so he\u2019s playing well, but only Jalen Hurts and Lamar Jackson are averaging fewer attempts per game than Darnold\u2019s 27.0. That\u2019s the rub. Darnold has to be remarkably efficient, especially with touchdowns, to carry weekly QB1 value. The schedule helps with only a few tough matchups, but Darnold will remain in the mid-upper QB2 tier, especially with little-to-no rushing upside.<\/li>\n
                                • Rashid Shaheed, WR, NO<\/strong>: \ud83c\udf44\ud83c\udf44\ud83c\udf44\u00a0\u2014 Tyler Shough immediately made Shaheed his favorite target, and it appears this could be the new norm \u2026 as long as Shaheed isn\u2019t traded. Shough averaged 9.1 Air Yards per Attempt \u2014 Spencer Rattler is at 7.9 this year \u2014 and Shough also averaged 11.7 yards per completion, compared to 9.1 for Rattler. Having Shaheed helps, but Shough had a similar 12.56 AirYD\/TGT for Shaheed and 12.5 for Chris Olave. Shough just appeared a bit more comfortable targeting Shaheed, but even if things are more balanced in future weeks, Shough\u2019s aggressiveness gets Shaheed back into starting territory.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
