Strategy for the Waiver Wire
Winning Fantasy leagues hinges on effectively managing injuries. Identifying players who can step into key roles is vital. With some significant stars on bye during Week 10, expect a busy waiver wire situation.
Claiming Players
-
Quarterbacks: Consider players like Sam Darnold, who has scored well recently. Joe Flacco has been performing well in a backup role, and Brock Purdy should return soon.
-
Running Backs: Focus on Trey Benson and Tyler Allgeier, particularly if they return from injury or take on larger roles this week.
-
Wide Receivers: Players like Rashid Shaheed and Troy Franklin should be targeted, given their potential to thrive in upcoming matchups.
