2025 Fantasy Football: Week 10 Weekend Waiver Wire

Do you like must-stashes? Well, it is Movember, the month of the must-stash. I love Weekend Waiver must-stashes myself. From this point on, you will see me discussing guys with great schedules the rest of the way. It is essential to understand that easier schedules and a smoother path to production will be available as we approach and enter the fantasy playoffs.

Here are five things you need to consider as the season progresses:

1. Target Players with Soft Playoff Schedules
   Don’t just look at the next matchup, look ahead to Weeks 15–17. Find players facing weak defenses during the fantasy playoffs. Streamers and flex players can help you win a title if the schedule lines up right.
2. Stash High-Value Handcuffs
   Once bye weeks are over, your bench can shift from depth to insurance. Back up your elite RBs (and even a few others around the league) with high-upside handcuffs. The closer we get to December, a starter’s absence can instantly make these stashes league winners.
3. Stream with Playoff Matchups in Mind
   If you’re rolling with streaming QBs, TEs, or defenses, start planning now. Don’t wait until everyone else notices that a team has great matchups in Weeks 15–17. Get them early and avoid the scrambling later.
4. Trim Dead Weight
   Bye weeks are nearly done, so it’s time to drop players you’ll never start again. That WR5 you’ve been “waiting to break out”? Cut him and grab a player with playoff potential. Every roster spot should serve a purpose.
5. Build Depth Where Injuries Hit Hardest
   The end of the season is ruthless due to attrition. Load up on RBs and WRs who are one injury away from big workloads. Don’t waste bench space on backup QBs or kickers; load it with upside for the fantasy playoff weeks.

Week 10 Weekend Waiver Wire

Quarterbacks

Jacoby Brissett, Arizona Cardinals

Jacoby Brissett has quietly been one of the steadiest fantasy quarterbacks when given the start. In his three games under center, he’s thrown for over 260 yards and at least two touchdowns each time. The Seahawks defense isn’t a pushover, but they’re far from elite, ranking middle of the pack against the pass. Brissett has been efficient, confident, and has elevated the play of everyone around him. If you need a spot starter or bye-week fill-in, he’s a strong plug-and-play option for Week 10.

Aaron Rodgers, Pittsburgh Steelers

Rodgers has been up and down most of the season. He has evolved into a matchup play-type quarterback. I would not add him and play in Week 10. But he plays against five defenses that are poor against the pass in the final seven weeks of the season. There is a chance he produces very well in those games.

Other quarterbacks to consider:

Joe Flacco, Cincinnati Bengals – 470 yards, 4 TDs in Week 9, Bye in Week 10

Quarterback Notes: Flacco would be my top ad if available. He is still available in around 50% of leagues. Brisset has delivered strong fantasy performances every time he has played in 2025. I would make him my second choice. Rodgers is someone I hate, but if you need a quarterback down the stretch, he really might be good.

Running Backs

Devin Singletary, New York Giants

In Week 9, Singletary led the Giants’ running backs in snaps played with 56% of the offensive snaps played. He touched the ball a total of ten times, producing 51 total yards. I don’t think he is a stud, but he is better than Tyrone Tracy.

Emari Demercado. Arizona Cardinals

Demercado was second on the team in running back snaps played. But he led Cardinals running backs in touches with 15 total touches. This guy should be rostered in every league until Trey Benson is healthy.

Other Running Backs to Consider:

Terrell Jennings, New England Patriots – 11 carries, 35 yards, TD, 1 reception, 9 yards receiving

Brian Robinson Jr., San Francisco 49ers – 5 carries, 53 yards, TD,

Running Back Notes: Singletary is a decent running back who should be rostered. I can say the same for Demercado. Terrell Jennings is a nice plug-in while Rhamondre Stevenson is sidelined for the Patriots. Brian Robinson is a handcuff everyone should be considering as the season progresses. If anything happens to Christian McCaffrey, you will want him.

Wide Receivers

Parker Washington, Jacksonville Jaguars

Washington saw nine targets in Week 9. He turned those into 8 receptions and 90 yards. With Jakobi Meyers being traded to the Jaguars, he has become a second thought to many people. The guy has had 19 targets over his last two games. There is most likely still some value here. If it doesn’t work out, you lose nothing.

Alec Pierce, Indianapolis Colts

Alec Pierce quietly became the guy in the Colts’ passing attack in Week 9. He played on 91% of the offensive snaps and led the team with 13 targets, good for a 26% target share. Pierce turned that opportunity into 6 catches for 115 yards, showing he’s becoming a trusted option in this offense. If he’s still sitting on your waiver wire, fix that now, I already did.

Other Wide Receivers to Consider:

Darius Slayton, New York Giants – 7 targets, 5 receptions, 62 yards

Michael Wilson, Arizona Cardinals – 4 targets, 3 receptions, 61 yards

Tory Horton, Seattle Seahawks – 4 targets, 4 receptions, 48 yards, 2 TDs

Wide Receiver Notes: Washington and Pierce both appear to be key contributors to their teams’ passing attacks. Slayton is really a boom-bust type of player. Wilson will hold value as long as Brissett is the quarterback. Horton is still a good addition to see what happens in Seattle.

Tight Ends

Colston Loveland, Chicago Bears

His massive breakout game still didn’t earn him a significant roster share, which is surprising. This is most likely because the Bengals give up the most fantasy points to tight ends, and that is who he went off on. His schedule is not exceptionally difficult the rest of the way, but he is more of an addition to holding on to and seeing where it goes.

Dalton Schultz, Houston Texans

Schultz’s stat line from Week 9 was pretty good: 8 targets, 6 receptions, and 77 yards. He has 60 or more yards in three of the last four games. He gets to play the Jaguars in Week 10, and they are pathetic at defending tight ends.

Other tight ends to consider:

Juwan Johnson, New Orleans Saints – 4 targets, 3 receptions, 31 yards, TD

Cade Otton, Tampa Bay Buccaneers – on bye in week 9. Easy match-up against the Patriots in Week 10

Mason Taylor, New York Jets – on bye in Week 9. Easy schedule the rest of the season.

Tight End Notes: Schultz is the add for Week 10. I like Juwan Johnson and Mason Taylor if you want a good floor at tight end for the rest of the season. Otton holds value as long as all the wide receivers are dinged up in Tampa Bay, which brings us to Loveland. Loveland is very talented, but the Bears have not passed a lot to the TE position this season, outside of one game. He is an add and hold.
