CLEVELAND, OH – Week 10 of the NFL season is here and there are plenty of players worth adding on the waiver wire. It’s a critical part of the year with six teams on a bye (Broncos, Texans, Jaguars, Patriots, Eagles and Redskins).
Here are the players worth claiming this week:
DeVante Parker (36%) – Parker has been consistent this season, compiling at least 55 receiving yards in all but two games. He had four receptions for 57 yards and one touchdown on Sunday. He could get even more targets with Preston Williams out for the season. Parker is a WR3 moving forward and worth adding if you need help at wide receiver.
Derrius Guice (32%) – Guice is on track to return in Week 11 after the Redskins’ bye week. The second-year back has plenty of talent and could offer your team the push it needs down the stretch. Washington has matchups with the Jets, Lions, Panthers and Packers in weeks 11-14. All four teams are in the top 10 in fantasy points allowed to running backs this season. Guice is worth a speculative add if you have a roster spot to spare.
Ronald Jones II (41%) – Jones has finally won the starting running back job in Tampa Bay, which makes him a must-add in all leagues. The 2018 second round pick had 82 yards from scrimmage and a touchdown in Week 9. He out-touched Peyton Barber 20-4 and was clearly the Bucs’ go-to back. Jones is worth adding and offers instant RB2 potential this week against the Cardinals.
Kalen Ballage (10%) – Ballage is the starting running back in Miami following Mark Walton’s 4-game suspension. He hasn’t ran for more than 19 yards in a game this season and has a low ceiling, but he’s worth a look in deeper leagues based on the volume of carries he could receive.
Zach Pascal (20%) – Pascal caught 5-of-6 targets for 76 yards and one touchdown against the Steelers. He has a dream matchup against the Dolphins in Week 10, which makes him worth a speculative add, even with Jacoby Brissett injured. Pascal has WR3 potential with T.Y. Hilton nursing a calf injury.
Hunter Renfrow (2%) – Renfrow has 10 receptions for 142 yards and two touchdowns in his last two games. He has great rapport with Derek Carr and is a legitimate streaming option in PPR leagues. Renfrow is worth a speculative add in 12-team leagues.
Mike Gesicki (4%) – Gesicki finished with six receptions for 95 yards against the Jets. He has at least 41 yards receiving in three of the last four games. Gesicki is a great streaming option and has the potential to become a weekly starter with Preston Williams out for the season.
N’Keal Harry (18%) – Harry was inactive on Sunday and the Patriots have a Week 10 bye week, but he could have a significant role down the stretch for New England. He isn’t a must-add, but he's worth keeping an eye on or claiming if you have a free roster spot.
Kareem Hunt (59%) – Hunt is eligible to return to action this week. He should become an instant flex option in PPR leagues and is a top handcuff if you have Nick Chubb on your roster. Hunt has plenty of ability and is a great bench stash if he’s available.
Ryan Tannehill (18%) – Tannehill has 20+ fantasy points in each of his first three starts with the Titans. If you’re desperate at quarterback, you could do worse than Tannehill, who should be starting in Tennessee for the rest of the season.
Other players worth watching:
Trey Edmonds (1%), Keelan Cole (0%), J.D. McKissic (12%), Jacob Hollister (1%), Chris Herndon (30%), Josh Reynolds (2%), Darrell Henderson Jr. (25%), Ty Montgomery (3%), Bilal Powell (0%).
