There certainly weren’t a lot of standout performances or points scored in Week 10 but that doesn’t mean that there aren’t options available on the waiver wire.

Even if your roster is stacked, the playoffs are now just one month away. Now is the time to start being proactive and bidding on players that not only can help you in Week 11 but in December.

Here are the top free agents to target ahead of Week 11 and how much of your remaining FAAB to use.

FAAB denotes Free Agent Acquisition Budget

A.J. Dillon (RB) Green Bay Packers (35% FAAB) – There is a solid chance Dillon is rostered in your league, but if he’s still available, the second-year back offers RB1/2 value for at least the next two weeks, while Aaron Jones is sidelined by a mild MCL sprain. Even after Jones returns, Dillon offers standalone value as a dual-threat runner who was already in on over 35% of Green Bay’s snaps before the injury to Jones. The fact that that injury is considered relatively minor lowers Dillon’s value slightly, but he’s still worth a substantial bid as a real difference-maker for the next two games and possibly longer.

Cam Newton (QB) Carolina Panthers (15% FAAB) – That didn’t take long. Newton re-signed with Carolina a few days ago and immediately made an impact, scoring twice and leading the Panthers to a much-needed victory. The contract Newton signed shows the team sees him as a potential starter and Matt Rhule has already said that the franchise is giving Newton starter reps ahead of Week 11. Newton has borderline QB1 upside and will…

Fantasy Football Waiver Wire: Week 10

The faster we all move on and forget about what was a difficult Week 9, the better of we’ll be. It is always better to be proactive and not reactive- especially after a disastrous week like we just witnessed.

With that in mind, the best way to move on is to know which fantasy-relevant free agents to target on this week’s waiver wire, and just how much of your remaining FAAB you should use.

Here are our Week 10 fantasy football waiver wire targets…

Jordan Howard (RB) Philadelphia Eagles (15% FAAB) – In two games since being activated off the practice squad, Howard has rushed the ball 29 times, accumulated 128 yards, and punched in three touchdowns. And apparently, Nick Sirianni plans to keep Howard involved in Philadelphia’s offense even when Miles Sanders returns. Howard won’t offer much as a receiver but can be a factor as the short-yardage back for an Eagles’ offense that is becoming increasingly reliant on the run.

Brandon Aiyuk (WR) San Francisco 49ers (10% FAAB) – After being dropped by the vast majority of fantasy managers who invested a mid-round selection on Aiyuk, the sophomore wideout is starting to heat up. In San Francisco’s past two games, Aiyuk has reeled in 10-of-15 targets for 134 yards and his second TD of the season. He might not wind up posting the premium WR2/3 numbers we expected in 2021 but Aiyuk can certainly be a viable contributor moving forward…
