It’s never too early to start looking forward to your next match and a chance to strengthen your fantasy football lineups. Here are some options to consider for Week 10, when the Cleveland Browns, Green Bay Packers, Las Vegas Raiders and Seattle Seahawks have their byes.
Taysom Hill, QB/TE, New Orleans Saints (37% selected)
Fear it, run for it – Taysom Hill returns to the waiver wire landscape after all.
With the Saints losing Chris Olave early on a scary hit in Week 9, the team needed their do-it-all weapon to step up. Hill did just that, scoring a rushing touchdown and racking up 60 total yards.
The Saints are starting the season 2-0 and scoring a ton of points, that’s just not the reality we have here today. With so many injuries at the receiver position, it will be difficult for them to score points.
One of the first words that comes to mind when you mention Hill is “difficult.” Add him if you’re hunting for touchdowns at the tight end position.
Ray Davis, RB, Buffalo Bills (21%)
It’s that time of the season when fantasy football managers need to add quality backup running backs. Bonus points if the running backs already have independent value.
Enter: rookie RB, Ray Davis.
Davis made his impact felt in the passing game in Week 9, catching both of his targets for 70 yards, including a touchdown from 63 yards. He also ran the ball 20 yards four times.
This one is simple: Davis shouldn’t be available in that many leagues at this point in the fantasy football season. Go get him.
Nick Westbrook-Ikhine, WR, Tennessee Titans (1%)
When the Titans traded DeAndre Hopkins to the Chiefs, a big hole opened up opposite Calvin Ridley in Tennessee’s passing game. If the past two games are any indication, Nick Westbrook-Ikhine is the next man up.
Surprisingly, Westbrook-Ikhine made it four straight games with a receiving touchdown in Week 9, catching 5 of 6 targets for 50 yards.
Now, the Titans aren’t exactly the Peyton-Manning Broncos with Mason Rudolph at the helm, but at least he’s provided a stabilizing force that has resulted in fantasy points for the likes of Ridley, Tony Pollard and, of course, Westbrook-Ikhine. . NWI is officially fully on the flex option list.
