Beat the Waiver Wire: Week 10

Stay a step ahead of your league rivals by targeting players with breakout potential before they become popular picks. Below are some key options to consider adding this week to strengthen your roster and plan for the playoffs.

Week 10 Byes

This week brings four teams on bye, along with lingering injuries impacting many fantasy lineups. Whether you need last-minute replacements or players with long-term value, these names might offer an edge.

Quarterbacks to Watch

Joe Flacco, Cincinnati Bengals (55% rostered on Sleeper)

Flacco continues to deliver like vintage wine. Despite a sore shoulder, he achieved a career high in passing yardage against the Chicago Bears in Week 9.

Even with a dodgy shoulder, Flacco hit a career high in passing yardage against the Chicago Bears in Week 9.

With the Bengals on a bye in Week 10, some managers might drop him—take advantage. His upcoming schedule looks very favorable.

Aaron Rodgers, Pittsburgh Steelers (46% rostered on Sleeper)

Rodgers remains a solid fantasy starter—not elite, but steady. His upcoming matchups make him a valuable pick for managers planning ahead.

I have mentioned Rodgers here before. He has been startable in fantasy - not incredible - but this is really for his schedule moving forward.

Final Thoughts

With the playoffs approaching, it’s time to start evaluating future matchups. If your team is performing well, prepare now by optimizing your roster for the best possible playoff schedule.
