Your Week 10 Waiver Wire Guide
Read this before you make any waiver wire moves...
Hey!
I’m back for your weekly waiver wire tips
Week 9 is over and there’s important info you need to know.
Let’s break down the Top 5 adds:
#5 Drake Maye
Maye entered Week 9 battling a concussion - but was able to play.
He took on a Titans defense that allows the fewest passing yards per play this season. But despite the bad circumstances - Maye produced:
He threw for 205 yards & 1 TD - but added an impressive 95 yards on the ground.
Maye has now finished as a Top 12 QB in all 3 of his completed starts. But that's not all...
He looks legit.
Maye entered Week 9 ranking 1st in pressured completion percentage & Top 10 in downfield passing.
He's making the big throws - and looks calm under pressure. Add Maye and this next guy:
#4 Ray Davis
You need to stash the Bills rookie RB. He totaled 90 yards on just 6 touches in Week 9. And he broke another explosive play for a 63-yard TD.
But that's not all because Davis also earned a goal-line carry late in this game. The Bills clearly trust the rookie - and it's hard not to.
Davis ranks Top 10 in the NFL averaging 5.8 yards per touch.
Davis continues to be a weekly FLEX option in deeper leagues. But if James Cook were to miss time - Davis instantly become a league winner.
Stash Davis and this next WR:
#3 Ricky Pearsall
He returns from his bye week and is available in over 75% of leagues. Before the bye - Pearsall totaled 77 yards on 5 touches against the Cowboys.
Deebo Samuel was injured in Week 8 before the 49ers bye. And Jauan Jennings has been banged up the past month.
Pearsall will be a starter in 3 WR sets for the 49ers - but he could see more usage if Deebo or Jennings miss more time. And here's what you should know:
Pearsall is a fantastic route runner. He was able to win both out wide and in the slot in college. And he's also a great athletic - running a 4.41 40-time at the NFL combine.
Add Pearsall - and consider grabbing this next guy:
#2 Jahan Dotson
AJ Brown injured his knee and didn't return in Week 9. Early reports suggest Brown could miss 1-2+ weeks. If so - Dotson becomes an interesting add.
The Eagles traded a 3rd round pick for Dotson earlier this year. Since then - he's had multiple chances to contribute with Brown & DeVonta Smith injured.
Despite these opportunities - Dotson has struggled to produce. However...
In Week 10 he has a strong matchup against the Cowboys. Dallas allows the 3rd most receiving yards per play. Dotson operated as a clear starter once Brown left.
Add Dotson for his Week 10 matchup - then grab this next WR:
#1 Xavier Legette
He operated as the Panthers top WR with Diontae Johnson gone in Week 9.
Legette earned a team-high 25% of the targets despite missing some time in this game with a hand injury. Here's what this led to...
Legette totaled 39 yards & a touchdown on 5 touches. He's now scored 11+ fantasy points in 4 of his last 6 games.
And his day could've been even bigger - but he dropped a pass that resulted in a Bryce Young INT. And speaking of Young - this may have been the best he's looked all season.
Legette is a legit size/speed threat who dominates after the catch. In Week 10 - he has a solid matchup against the Giants.
You can pick up & play Legette - then grab these next guys:
More Names to Consider:
Trey Benson
Blake Corum
Jalen Tolbert
Hunter Henry
Adam Thielen
KhaDarel Hodge
Demario Douglas
Ray Ray McCloud
Kenneth Gainwell
Demarcus Robinson
But these names aren’t enough to help you dominate on the waiver wire this week.
