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.

Oh em gee. Did you get your “wrap” from that music streaming service with the horrendous user interface? Me neither. I much prefer the native app on my iPhone. In fact, I’m writing this with my “Writing Juice” playlist coursing through noise-cancelling headphones. It’s a mix of my favorite tracks from Led Zeppelin, Deftones and […]

Punctuality and punctuation get me going. Mrs. McBigTime and I have been in a partnership for so long that we shudder to imagine online dating. Not to yuck anyone’s yum, but even imagining what sort of cringy MySpace malarky I’d have on my profile makes me nauseous. “I’ll cook you dinner if you cook me […]
Look, in this economy, we’re all looking for bargains. Fantasy football is no different, as we’re looking to extract as much value as we can without paying a lot or anything. We know the feeling of looking through free agency or waivers on Sunday and going, “Why didn’t I start THAT guy?” after somebody produces […]

Sometimes, when I tell someone about my family dynamic, it strikes them as peculiar. “Are you and your wife going to have any more kids?” Absolutely not. One sixth grader is enough, and we have a mountain of cats—five of them. Add in our frenetic border collie, Rosie, and the house is full. My parents […]

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 […]
