It’s Week Ten of the NFL schedule, and fantasy football leagues are starting to sort themselves out. Whether the team is fighting for its life or trying to maintain a lead, managers worldwide can always use the latest waiver-wire targets. All stats and rankings below provided by Sleeper.
Injuries are testing the New England Patriots’ depth chart, including the running back position. Their misfortune has given more opportunity to Terrell Jennings, and in turn, fantasy football managers everywhere. He was given 11 carries in Week Nine, one of which led to the first NFL touchdown of his career. Keep an eye on the injuries to Rhamondre Stevenson and Antonio Gibson to gauge when to take them off your starting lineup. For now, the team looks to split snaps between Jennings and Treveyon Henderson.
Ty Johnson may be listed as RB3 behind Ray Davis, but the Buffalo Bills gave Johnson 13 touches in Week Nine, ten more than the listed RB2. The ceiling isn’t the highest, but his increased usage is worth a look. He scored nine fantasy points in the team’s win over the Kansas City Chiefs. It could be a new handcuff for RB1 James Cook, and worth adding to the bottom of your starters, or a depth piece.
New York Giants’ wide receiver Gunner Olszewski has played almost exclusively on special teams the past three seasons, but he played well coming in as relief for the injured Beaux Collins. Olszewski’s first reception since 2023 has placed him on fantasy football radars. It’s not the piece to steal a game, but it could be worth a roster spot in the short term.
This week’s waiver wire targets aren’t as high-end as some of the past, but they are widely available depth pieces ready for the picking. Be sure to follow the corresponding injuries to gauge the length of stay.
