Top 10 Fantasy Football Week 10 Waiver Pickups

While bye weeks are always an inconvenience in terms of Fantasy Football, it’s this time in the season where things get really difficult with weeks that have six teams on a bye. What makes this week even worse is the immense talent that’s not going to be at the disposal of fantasy owners. Given that, here’s the 10 best players that are less than 50 percent owned (ESPN leagues) that you could pick up.

Rivera really wasn’t doing much to start the season, but the last two weeks have seen him come on strong. The Raiders tight end has 15 catches over his last two games and scored two touchdowns in Week 9. We don’t know where this is going, but it’s definitely something worth keeping an eye on.

We know that the Cowboys defense has overachieved to this point and having a banged-up Tony Romo could put more pressure on them. By the vaunted pick-up-whichever-defense-is-playing-the-Jags-this-week corollary, the Cowboys are who you want for Week 10.

Sims is looking like he’ll be active for the Buccaneers for the first time this season, though he likely won’t be the No. 1 guy. He’s going to get work if he’s active, though, and has the talent to really break through and have a lot of value over the rest of the season.

This is a bit of an iffy pickup for this week largely because it depends on the health of Arian Foster and because Houston is on a bye this week. There’s a chance that the Texans No. 1 back doesn’t take the field in week 11, though, and if that happens, Blue is going to get the bulk of the work. For that reason, get him while he's still available.

Taliaferro keeps getting work in the Ravens offense as the predominant belief in their camp seems to be that Justin Forsett can’t handle the short-yardage stuff. If that’s the case and he’s going to keep succeeding when he gets work, he’s definitely worth a flier.

5. Allen Robinson

Robinson’s inconsistency and lack of touchdowns can be frustrating, but he’s quite clearly one of Blake Bortles’ favorite targets in this offense. Particularly in a PPR league, he should be owned.

4. Rueben Randle

Randle is the No. 1 option in the Giants offense and, if Eli Manning would quit forcing throws to him, he has the chance to put up big numbers. Though he’s likely going to have Richard Sherman on him this week, you need to pick him up if he’s available in your league.

3. Martavis Bryant

As the Steelers offense has opened up full force over the past couple of weeks, Bryant has been a big part of that. He’s been finding space on deep balls and getting into the endzone. It seems like this is what Pittsburgh is going to rely on offensively going forward and Bryant should subsequently be owned.

2. Ryan Tannehill

Tannehill has been inconsistent over his time in the league, especially in fantasy. However, he’s been hitting his stride as the Dolphins seem to be doing the same lately. Over his past five games, he has only one game under 15 points including three games of 20 or more points. If you have questions at quarterback or are dealing with a bye at the position, Tannehill is a great place to look.

Because of what Nick Foles did last season, he won the Eagles starting job in the preseason. However, you could argue that Sanchez outplayed him in that preseason stretch. Now that Sanchez is in Chip Kelly’s offense, he could quietly be incredibly valuable moving forward.
