The fantasy football playoffs are mere weeks away, and squaring away your rosters is becoming more critical. Here are the top Week 10 Waiver Wire QBs and how to approach them before locking in your claims ahead of Wednesday morning.
Week 10 Waiver Wire RBs

Tyler Allgeier (ATL) | 49.6%
Right now, some additions are simply about depth and the hope that the player could get a TD if you throw them into a flex slot in a pinch. That’s Tyler Allgeier and the RB position on the Week 10 waiver wire.
The third-year back out of BYU has been consistently inconsistent this season. His best game came in a Week 6 blowout of Carolina. For him to be fantasy-relevant most weeks, Allgeier will need a TD. If you’re a Bijan Robinson manager, you should have Allgeier rostered as a high-end handcuff for the stretch run.
Ray Davis (BUF) | 13.9%
Unlike Allgeier, Buffalo rookie RB Ray Davis is starting to show he may have some standalone fantasy football value behind veteran RB James Cook.
Davis, who many, including myself, thought would be Buffalo’s answer in goalline situations, hasn’t been that. He only has one carry inside the five-yard line this season. While he scored a TD in his only opportunity, he may be more valuable in the Buffalo passing attack. Davis walked away from Week 9 with two catches for 70 yards and a TD. In Week 6, he caught all three of his targets for 55 yards.
Davis getting more involved isn’t a sure thing, but given what’s on the waiver wire right now, his potential upside is enough to take a flyer on. Given the long TD catch, there might be some buzz in your leagues about him, but not enough to prohibit you from rostering him on the cheap.
Roschon Johnson (CHI) | 13.3%
Roschon Johnson has emerged in Chicago as the team’s goalline back. While he only has five carries inside the five-yard line this season, four have resulted in six points. Those four scores come in the Bears’ last six games.
Johnson won’t get much volume unless fellow RB D’Andre Swift gets dinged up or falls apart. That said, the Bears are looking to him in short-yardage situations, making Johnson a candidate to nab a TD every week. He isn’t your RB1 or RB2, but he is a solid flex option week in and week out for a tiny chunk of your FAAB.

Zamir White (LV) | 34.7%

The holiday season is underway. I say this with confidence because November’s arrival ushers in auto-rejections to any time-off requests as a retail employee. It’s a timeless tradition where work-life balance is shelved for bending to consumerism’s staggering demands. Every year, I promise myself it will be my last in the suffocating, anxiety-riddled suck. It […]

Unless you asked me a direct question about food or sports, I was a child who was very shy around adults. Fighting a reputation for being “rude” to small-town folks because I couldn’t even muster please and thank you on Halloween or at the grocery store was tough. The best way to hone interpersonal communication […]

As we quickly approach the halfway point of the 2024 NFL season, I think it’s time to reflect on our journey so far. We started the season facing numerous setbacks, losing several key players shortly after they were mentioned in my articles. Week after week, it’s been a tough grind, filled with unfortunate near misses […]

If taking the initiative were easy, plenty of us would be gliding through life on a constant ascent to achieve our dreams. Me, I’ve always romanticized retirement. For someone born to two entrepreneurial spirits without a lazy bone in their bodies, the leisure and freedom to slack off sure seemed like a life I’d rather […]
