I am writing this article for the best Week 10 fantasy football waiver wire pickups on Monday morning, and the actual best players to use your FAAB on may not be revealed yet. Tuesday is the NFL Trade Deadline, and there are several big-name offensive players who could be on the move. Pay attention to this news, as players like Brian Thomas Jr. or Seth McGowan could quickly go from no value to must-start players.
However, if not much happens ahead of the trade deadline, then this could be a relatively quiet week for waivers. There are some valuable players out there, but they may be more long-term adds instead of picking someone up to start them right away. If you need help finding value or winning your league, make sure you get all the league-winning data, fantasy waiver wire rankings and more at the FlurrySports Playbook!
On Playbook.FlurrySports.org, I have everything your league doesn’t want you to have. My fantasy rankings, the NFL Survivor tool, a weather app and hundreds of NFL team stats are all free. However, I also have my fantasy football waiver rankings, exclusive stats, fantasy football trade value chart and more for those who want more information. Simply, I wanted a one-stop shop to help you win on your NFL and college football picks this season!
Go check that out after reading the best fantasy football waiver wire targets ahead of Week 10.

Best Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups Week 10
QB Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups
Jacoby Brissett, Baltimore Ravens (13.5%)
Jacoby Brissett was traded to the Baltimore Ravens, and he will immediately be the starter for a team trying to stay competitive. If you need someone to start at QB in Week 10, you absolutely can pick Brissett up from the fantasy football waiver wire.
This week, the Ravens will face the Los Angeles Chargers. Obviously, the Chargers are terrible. They’re giving up 7.9 yards per pass attempt and a 65.7% completion rate this season.
Not only is this a solid matchup that the Ravens can take advantage of, but this is also a familiar matchup for Jacoby Brissett. He faced this team in Week 1. While that seems like a lifetime ago, this is still a team he scouted and played well against. He completed 73% of his passes for 277 yards and a touchdown. He will look to replicate that type of success with a talented group around him in Baltimore.
Other Fantasy QBs to Consider:
- Aaron Rodgers
- Geno Smith
- Cam Ward
RB Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups
Corey Kiner, New England Patriots (5.3%)
It flew under the radar due to the blowout, but Rhamondre Stevenson hurt his knee in the game. At the time of writing, we do not know the severity of the injury, but he was not in the locker room following the game. The New England Patriots have a Week 11 bye, so it is certainly possible he misses Week 10.
If Stevenson misses this week, or if he is limited at all, then Corey Kiner should see a large workload. The Patriots face the Detroit Lions, who have been stingy against fantasy RBs in recent weeks. However, if these teams start to light up the scoreboard, which is certainly possible, then the large workload of Kiner will mean he has an opportunity to find the end zone, like he did last week.
Make sure you watch the injury report for Stevenson this week.
Other Fantasy RBs to Consider:
- Audric Estime
- Emmett Johnson
- Dylan Sampson
WR Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups
Jordyn Tyson, New Orleans Saints (39.4%)
I have highlighted Jordyn Tyson over the past couple of weekly fantasy football waiver wire pickup articles, with his return likely coming soon. I did not think he would return in the same week he returned to practice, but that is exactly what the rookie did. Against Cleveland, Tyson caught four passes for 30 yards.
Jordyn Tyson is the most talented wide receiver in this rookie class, and he has legitimate top-20 upside at the position down the stretch of the fantasy season, making him a player who needs to be owned. Tyson ended up playing just 24% of the snaps in his return. Look for his snap share and role to continue growing over the next few weeks.
Other Fantasy WRs to Consider:
- Pat Bryant
- Tank Dell
- Caleb Douglas
TE Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups
Chig Okonkwo, Washington Commanders (13.7%)
Chig Okonkwo is one of the very few available fantasy tight ends with a weekly role we can rely upon. We have discussed plenty in these articles how Jayden Daniels loves to target the tight end position, and Washington signed Okonkwo this offseason to take over this role.
He got banged up early, but Okonkwo has returned and averaged six targets over his past four games. Okonkwo is one of nine TEs to have a target share of over 20% since Week 5. This past week, he saw seven targets, which was tied for the most on the team. Look for him to be used plenty in Washington’s next few games: NYG, CIN, ARI, TEN.
Other Fantasy TEs to Consider:
- Pat Freiermuth
- Greg Dulcich
- Darren Waller
DST Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups
Baltimore Ravens (47.4%)
Coming off a mini bye week, the Baltimore Ravens had extra time to lick their wounds and get ready for their next opponent. Luckily for them, they will be playing at home against the Los Angeles Chargers.
Not only are the Chargers horrendous at football, but this is also the former team of the Ravens’ head coach, Jesse Minter. It doesn’t need insider knowledge to shut down the Chargers’ offense, but the fact that he has some will help the Ravens out even more.
The Chargers finally snapped their streak of offensive possessions without a touchdown, which was 37. However, there is no reason for optimism here. They are allowing the most fantasy points to opposing defenses in the league, and Justin Herbert was injured last game and may not play.
Pick the Ravens up off the fantasy football waiver wire and start them with all of the confidence in the world.
