Congratulations if you managed to piece together a week 9 lineup that got you the fantasy football victory last week.  It was  a trying week for owners with six teams on a bye and many fantasy starters dealing with injury. Whether you won or lost, week 10 doesn’t shape up to be any easier with another six teams on a bye and more injuries to deal with.  The good news is that there are some nice week 10 waiver wire pickups who can help your team.

More from Arizona Cardinals

Your roster will definitely feel the stretch this week with the Colts, Chargers, Patriots, Redskins, Texans, and Vikings all taking their bye weeks. In addition the Eagles will have a new quarterback with Nick Foles out and other injury situations remain unclear. You’ll most likely have to make some moves to get ready for this weekend but well-prepared teams will have the depth to overcome the challenge and get a much-needed win for playoff positioning.  If you are forced to hit the waiver wire this week for some help to get your roster ready, in the following slides you can find the top ten names to look for.

Each week in this post, we highlight the top ten players to help make your waiver wire pickups a success.  To help keep the list stocked with real options, only players who are available in over half of ESPN leagues are eligible. That means alumni like Jerick McKinnon, Denard Robinson, Ronnie Hillman, Kelvin Benjamin, Mohamed Sanu, Odell Beckham Jr., Ahmad Bradshaw, Andre Williams, Antonio Gates, Travis Kelce, and Justin Forsett aren’t on this list even though they should be picked up if they’re still available in your league.  If you have any roster-specific questions, the fastest way to get them answered is to ask us @FansidedFantasy on twitter.

All references to points are based on ESPN standard scoring unless otherwise noted to give a common scoring system for comparison.  The percentages included after the players team is their ownership percentage as of Monday after week 8. To help as many owners as possible, at least one player is included from each primary position–QB, RB, WR, TE, and team defense.  Stay tuned to our Fantasy football hub for more coverage throughout the week as we delve deeper into each position.
