*For a player to make this WAIVER list, they must be rostered in LESS than 50% of 1QB, Full PPR Sleeper Leagues.*
WEEK 10 BYES
- CLEVELAND BROWNS
- GREEN BAY PACKERS
- LAS VEGAS RAIDERS
- SEATTLE SEAHAWKS
QUARTERBACKS
ALL PLAYERS ARE IN ORDER BY SUGGESTED WAIVER PRIORITY
{All stats are from the prior week.}
- JUSTIN HERBERT (Chargers)
Rostered: (46% in Sleeper Leagues)
Next 3 Opponents: Titans, Bengals, Ravens
(18-27 Completions, 282 Yards, 2 TDs; 3 Carries, 2 Yards)
{The next two games are going to be great for Herbert. Especially with how well his receivers and running backs have been playing. Seeing as he’s had back to back top 12 QB weeks, I’m thinking it’s time to start trusting him as a starter.} - AARON RODGERS (Jets)
Rostered: (47% in Sleeper Leagues)
Next 3 Opponents: Cardinals, Colts, BYE
(22-32 Completions, 211 Yards, 3 TD; 1 Carry, -1 Yards)
{Hate giving props to Aaron but he did have a nice game this past week against the Texans and got himself a victory. Rodgers throws for three touchdowns and no interceptions. If he can get his passing yards up to 275+, Rodgers could be a great pickup.}
STASH OR DEEP LEAGUE GRABS
- COOPER RUSH (0% Rostered) Cowboys Ok so Cooper could get an opportunity to start multiple weeks with talks of Dak Prescott potentially going on IR with a hamstring injury. Rush came into the game and threw a touchdown. He does get a tough matchup in week 10 against the Eagles, but you never know. Cooper is a good pick up in deeper leagues and superflex leagues.
RUNNING BACKS
ALL PLAYERS ARE IN ORDER BY SUGGESTED WAIVER PRIORITY
{All stats are from the prior week.}
- RAY DAVIS (Bills)
Rostered: (25% in Sleeper Leagues)
Next 3 Opponents: Colts, Chiefs, BYE
(4 Carries, 20 Yards; 2 Targets, 2 Receptions, 70 Yards, 1 TD)
{We’ve mentioned Ray Davis in this article before. Definitely surprised he’s still available in 75% of leagues. Yes he’s still behind Cook on the depth chart, but he’s getting opportunities and doing big things with the opportunities he’s given. He must be rostered.}
STASH OR DEEP LEAGUE GRABS
- EMARI DEMERCADO (0% Rostered) Cardinals I like Demercado as strictly a bench stash. If anything happens to James Conner, Demercado and Benson will both get opportunities to be the guy. I like Emari’s chances of getting more touches in that situation. Especially after this past weeks performance.
WIDE RECEIVERS
ALL PLAYERS ARE IN ORDER BY SUGGESTED WAIVER PRIORITY
{All stats are from the prior week.}D
- QUENTIN JOHNSTON (Chargers)
Rostered: (27% in Sleeper Leagues)
Next 3 Opponents: Titans, Bengals, Ravens
(5 Targets, 4 Catches, 118 Yards, 1 TD; 1 Carry, 2 Yards)
Welcome back QJ! Huge prefomance for this young man. I was very low on him coming into this year, but im hoping this is wear he makes a turn around. Chargers are starting to look whole on offense.} - DEMARCUS ROBINSON (Rams)
Rostered: (21% in Sleeper Leagues)
Next 3 Opponents: Dolphins, Patriots, Eagles
(9 Targets, 6 Catches, 94 Yards, 2 TDs)
{Honestly thought Demarcus was going to take a step backwards with Cooper Kupp and Puka Nacua being back. But i was wrong. He produced last week against Minnesota and he caught the winning touchdown this week. His stats may have been a tad higher this week do to Puka getting ejected. I still feel grrat picking up Demarcus this week and and stashing him.} - NICK WESTBROOK-IKHINE (Titans)
Rostered: (2% in Sleeper Leagues)
Next 3 Opponents: Chargers, Vikings, Texans
(6 Targets, 5 Catches, 50 Yards, 1 TD)
{Nick has actually played fairly well since getting opportunities with Hopkins being traded. He’s definitely worth rostering and could be flexed if needed.}
TIGHT ENDS
ALL PLAYERS ARE IN ORDER BY SUGGESTED WAIVER PRIORITY
{All stats are from the prior week.}
- MIKE GESICKI (Bengals)
Rostered: (20% in Sleeper Leagues)
Next 3 Opponents: Ravens, Chargers, BYE
(6 Targets, 5 Catches, 100 Yards, 2 TDs)
{MASSIVE week for Mike this week. He was an absolute feature in this game with Higgins out with an injury. If Higgins is out again this week, I’m firing up Gesicki on Thursday.} - TAYSOM HILL (Saints)
Rostered: (31% in Sleeper Leagues)
Next 3 Opponents: Falcons, Browns, BYE
(5 Targets, 4 Catches, 41Yards; 5 Carries, 19 Yards, 1TD)
{Taysom is healthy again and this guy gets involved at every position. On the field, he can play quarterback, receiver, tight end and running back. But in fantasy leagues he does have dual designation at Tight End and Quarterback. So if you need a QB in deep leagues, Taysom can fill in there for you.})
STASH OR DEEP LEAGUE GRABS
- THEO JOHNSON (5% Rostered) Giants Theo finally got into the end zone for the first time this year. We love to see it! Theo is more of a stash candidate.
KICKERS
ALL PLAYERS ARE IN ORDER BY SUGGESTED WAIVER PRIORITY
{All stats are from the prior week.}
- CHAD RYLAND (Cardinals)
Rostered: (3% in Sleeper Leagues)
Next 3 Opponents: Jets, BYE, Seahawks
(3 for 3 on XPs, 2 for 2 on FGs Made, one 50+ yd FG)
{Ryland has been sneaky consistent over the last 5 weeks now that he’s kicking for the Cardinals. If you are looking for weekly consistency at the kicker position, look no further.}
D/ST
ALL PLAYERS ARE IN ORDER BY SUGGESTED WAIVER PRIORITY
{All stats are from the prior week.}
- RAMS (Los. Angeles)
Rostered: (9% in Sleeper Leagues)
Next 3 Opponents: Dolphins, Patriots, Eagles
(7 Sacks, 20 Points Allowed, 3 INTs, 1 TD, 8 TKLs for Loss)
{Massive week against the Seahawks this past week. The Rams get a tough matchup against the Dolphins this week but that wont stop me from playing them.}
Individual Defensive Players (IDP)
ALL PLAYERS ARE IN ORDER BY SUGGESTED WAIVER PRIORITY
{All stats are from the prior week.}
- TULI TUIPULOTU (Chargers) DL, LB
Rostered: (11% in Sleeper Leagues)
Next 3 Opponents: Titans, Bengals, Ravens
4 Total Tackles, 2.5 Sacks, 3 Hits on QB, 1 Tackle for Loss)
{This young man needs to be added in all IDP Leagues. I feel like he’s starting to come on really strong. They get the Titans this week and could add some more sacks this week.} - KERBY JOSEPH (Raiders) DB
Rostered: (33% in Sleeper Leagues)
Next 3 Opponents: Texans, Jaguars, Colts
(4 Total Tackles, 1 Pass Defended, 1 INT, 1 TD)
{Kerby might have benefitted this week from Brian Branch getting tossed out of the game for targeting. But this is his second week in a row going for 20+ fantasy points. If you are hurting at DB, I like taking a shot on Kerby.}
