Bye Weeks Alert:

This week, fantasy managers need to navigate without players from: - Green Bay Packers - Seattle Seahawks - Cleveland Browns - Las Vegas Raiders

Quarterbacks to Consider:

This week provides an opportunity to snag some valuable quarterbacks on the waiver wire. Notably:

- **Bo Nix (Broncos, 15% rostered)**: Despite being a rookie, Nix has demonstrated resilience with three top-10 weekly finishes in October. His ability to rush adds significant value to his fantasy output, and his favorable remaining schedule makes him a worthy consideration as a low-end QB1/high-end QB2.

- **Justin Herbert (Chargers, 44% rostered)** and **Drake Maye (Panthers, 11% rostered)** should also be on your radar as potential streamers for this week. Not to mention, veteran **Aaron Rodgers (43% rostered)** could serve as a reliable option if you’re in a pinch.

If you’re desperate, there are options like **Cooper Rush (0% rostered)** and **Will Levis (7% rostered)** who could surprise in favorable matchups.

Running Backs: High-Upside Backup Picks

Finding a reliable running back on waivers can be challenging. Yet, several high-upside backups are worth considering, including:

- **Zach Charbonnet (49% rostered)** - **Braelon Allen (33% rostered)** - **Ray Davis (21% rostered)**

These players might not have a starring role now, but they are one injury away from becoming essential contributors. Stashing players like **Dameon Pierce (4% rostered)** could be a game-changer.

Wide Receivers: Emerging Talent

With Diontae Johnson's recent trade, the Panthers' receiving corpse has opened up opportunities:

- **Xavier Legette** shows promise as a rookie and could be an excellent addition as a WR3/flex. - **Adam Thielen (Carolina, injury-led) is a must-stash** if activated off injured reserve. Trading rumors surrounding him could further elevate his value.

Other notable prospects include **Ricky Pearsall and Demarcus Robinson**, both of whom may carve out larger roles moving forward.

Tight Ends: Streaming Success

For those in need of tight end solutions:

- **Mike Gesicki (Bengals, 48% rostered)** is coming off two solid weeks without Tee Higgins and could be a low-end TE1 moving forward. The departure of Erick All Jr. will give him even more opportunities.

If you’re looking for streaming options, consider **Hunter Henry (36% rostered)** and **Zach Ertz (39% rostered)** based on their favorable matchups.

Defense Brokers for Week 10

Look out for defenses that could be valuable pickups:

- **Lions (47% rostered)** and **Dolphins (27% rostered)** present appealing matchup prospects that could rack up points for your fantasy team.

With fab amounts based on a $100 salary cap, it’s crucial to make strategic decisions now, especially as the playoff races heat up. Being proactive on the waiver wire can mean the difference between a championship run or an early exit. Happy hunting!
