Fantasy Football Waiver Wire, Week 10: Don't ZZZ on Marquez Valdez-Scantling

Here are the rest of your recommendations, among players available in over a third of leagues:

RUNNING BACKS

Mike Davis (42%) could be the man for Seattle this week. Chris Carson couldn’t finish the last game with his hip injury, after being a game-time decision.

Ito Smith (61%) showed that he can be productive along with Tevin Coleman last week and gets to go against the Browns this week, making him a flex option in deep leagues.

Elijah McGuire (30%) returned last week, and instantly becomes a flex option against the woeful Buffalo Bills, as you can expect the Jets to try to run the ball to limit Sam Darnold’s mistakes.

Meanwhile, if you are in great shape for matchups this week and have roster spots, Spencer Ware (21%) or Malcolm Brown (16%) are both home run lottery tickets in case Kareem Hunt or Todd Gurley were to miss a game. Both would be Top 10 starts if that happens.

WIDE RECEIVERS

Christian Kirk (36%) is coming off the bye and playing at KC, where the Cardinals will likely be trailing and throwing in the second half.

Donte Moncrief (20%) has a great matchup and has been a better option in the passing game for Bortles, and is a sneaky start vs. the Colts.

Adam Humphries (4%) has 15 catches over the last two weeks playing with Ryan Fitzpatrick, and is an add option in PPR.

Anthony Miller (20%) has a great matchup against the Lions D, and could provide some big plays this week.

Alex Erickson (0%) could be the starter for Cincinnati opposite Tyler Boyd with A.J. Green out, and is a lower end WR3 based on a matchup with the Saints where the Bengals will have to throw it a lot.

TIGHT ENDS

Jack Doyle (53%) is back from his bye week. The matchup isn’t great against Jacksonville but he’s still a Top 12 option and should be added going forward, where he could be a league winner if you need tight end help.

Nick Vannett (2%) had his best game last week and is continuing to emerge in the Seattle passing game.

Jeff Heuerman (7%) is out this week with the Broncos on a bye, but he’s coming off a 10-catch game, and should be a starting option in Week 11.

QUARTERBACKS

Blake Bortles (31%) at the Colts is your matchup play of the weekend. Bortles was struggling before the bye and at risk of getting benched, but should put up good numbers here.

Baker Mayfield (58%) vs the Falcons is another great matchup. He’s coming off a 297 yard, 2 TD game against the Chiefs and should be able to do something similar this week.

Nick Mullens (2%) is your Cinderella deep league or 2-QB league start against the Giants. He looked comfortable in Shanahan’s offense and I have a feeling that–while he won’t steadily duplicate that performance–we will see him around the league for awhile.

KICKERS

I’d probably look to the Atlanta situation, if you can wait to see on Matt Bryant‘s status. Giorgio Tavecchio or Bryant would be a good start against the Browns.

Mike Badgley is now the kicker for the Chargers, we’ll see if he can end the kicking woes for the franchise. He should get opportunities against the Raiders.

DEFENSES/SPECIAL TEAMS

The Buffalo Bills are an auto-start against, so the JETS are the team to play. Then again, you could always also play the BILLS against Sam Darnold and his interceptions.
