While Week 10’s Thursday Night Football game doesn’t appear to be one of the season’s best slates on paper, there is still plenty of fantasy football and DFS ramifications on deck for Baltimore’s trip to Miami.

The 6-2 Ravens emerged from their Week 8 bye with an exciting 34-31 overtime victory over Minnesota, while the Dolphins got their second victory of the 2021 campaign with a home victory over the hapless Houston Texans.

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…

One week ago we had one of the top matchups of the season on Thursday Night Football and that contest went down to the wire. Unfortunately, we’re back to business as usual in Week 9 as the haggard Jets travel to Indianapolis to take on the disappointing Colts.

While this matchup doesn’t offer up the offensive fireworks that last week’s Packers/Cardinals tilt did, there are still plenty of fantasy-relevant players to account for.

Let’s break down the ninth Thursday Night Football game of the 2021 season and see what NFL, sports betting, and fantasy football fans can expect to see.

Fantasy Football Waiver Wire: Week 9

Week 8 certainly offered its fair share of fantasy lineup tricks and treats but it also had some key injuries and developments that will make the Week 9 waiver wire one of the season’s hottest.

Here are some of the low-rostered players to consider adding to your roster ahead of Week 9, with our FAAB target recommendations.

FAAB denotes Free Agent Acquisition Budget

Adrian Peterson (RB) Tennessee Titans (15% FAAB) – He’s back! After word broke that Derrick Henry would probably miss the remainder of the fantasy season with a foot injury, the Titans quickly signed future Hall-of-Famer Adrian Peterson to act as their main between-the-tackles grinder. Peterson, 36, ground out 3.9 yards per carry in 156 attempts last season in Detroit but still proved to be an effective short-yardage option with a team-high seven touchdowns. Obviously, Peterson is a significant downgrade from Henry and offers little pass-catching skills, but if he can grind out 12-15 carries, AP can be a viable RB2/3 with solid TD upside behind Tennessee’s excellent run-blocking line.

Taysom Hill (QB) New Orleans Saints (13% FAAB) – Now that we know Jameis Winston (ACL) will miss the rest of the season, Hill, who himself is expected to be activated this week, is set to take over as the Saints’ starter for the remainder of 2021. Although Winston beat out Hill for the starting job this summer, Hill offers massive upside as a potential weekly QB 1, particularly in Week 9 against Atlanta.
