Week 10 waiver wire shaped by injuries and four bye teams

Rhamondre Stevenson and Josh Jacobs both went down in Week 9, while Darren Waller keeps piling up targets in Carolina.

Fantasy managers have some scrambling to do heading into Week 10. Stevenson suffered a knee injury in the third quarter and could not return, opening the door for Corey Kiner to see a big workload if he misses time. Jacobs fractured his finger against the Patriots in Week 9 and also failed to return, with Kaleb Johnson and Pierre Strong splitting his work in the meantime. Word is Jacobs intends to play through the injury, so he is not worth adding off the wire just yet.

Adding to the headache, four teams sit on byes in Week 10: the Bears, Broncos, Eagles and Buccaneers. Losing the high-scoring Bears offense in particular leaves a dent in a lot of lineups.

On the bright side, Darren Waller continues to carve out a heavy target share in Carolina, posting an 8-90-1 line against the Broncos in Week 9. It looks like Bryce Young is leaning on his tight ends, which makes Waller a priority add. Tank Dell's big-play ability and Shedeur Sanders' Superflex upside round out the notable pickups before Tuesday night's waiver deadline, with the pool of available talent thinning out as the season heads toward its stretch run.
