Beat the Waiver Wire: Week 10
Stay ahead in your fantasy league by picking up potential breakout players from the waiver wire before they become widely sought after. Consider these players this week to outpace other managers.
Week 10 Byes
- Bengals
- Cowboys
- Chiefs
- Titans
This week features four teams on bye along with multiple injuries challenging managers. Here are some last-minute options for those who couldn’t fill rosters earlier, plus players worth adding with an eye on future matchups. Playoffs are approaching fast; if you have a strong record, start considering players with favorable playoff schedules.
Key Players to Target
Quarterback Joe Flacco, Cincinnati Bengals (55% rostered on Sleeper)
Flacco continues to impress despite a shoulder issue, setting a career high in passing yards against the Bears in Week 9. With the Bengals on a Week 10 bye, some managers might drop him—if available, grab him for his excellent upcoming schedule.
Quarterback Aaron Rodgers, Pittsburgh Steelers (46% rostered on Sleeper)
Rodgers has been a viable fantasy starter, not spectacular but serviceable. His schedule ahead makes him a worthy pickup.
"The man ages like a fine wine."
Picking these players early can provide important depth during bye weeks and injuries, positioning you well for the playoff push.
Summary: Smart waiver wire moves, especially for players with strong future schedules, offer a key advantage heading into the fantasy playoffs.
