I’m Tara Roberts with Yahoo Fantasy bringing you early waiver wire pickups by weeks are back.
Four teams on a buy this week.
So let’s take a look at three guys that you can add heading into week 10.
Not gonna lie here.
Taysom Hill drives me crazy with his constant sniping of Alvin Camara’s touches.
But that is exactly why you want to add him.
The Saints are in a rough spot with their receiving co they have recently lost rashid Shaheed for the year.
Now they have Chris Olave with a concussion and he’s at risk of missing week 10.
The Saints were in a tough spot so bad that they actually had to throw to taste of Hill this week.
So now he has both rushing and receiving upside.
He’ll be a top tight end option next week and a flex option as well.
He’s a boom bust player by nature, but next week’s matchup against Atlanta is favorable across the board.
So prioritize Taysom Hill by no means do I think Ray Davis is taking over this backfield?
James Cook’s job is still secure, but we cannot deny the critical usage that Davis has seen over the past four weeks while his touches aren’t extremely high, he is delivered and is a trusted key red zone opportunity.
Guy Davis had a breakout performance in week six when James Cook was out.
And since then, he’s really carved out a nice little role producing touchdowns in two of the last three games, one on the ground and one through the air.
Davis offers potential stand-alone value particularly in this upcoming match up against Indianapolis.
This is also the time of year to start looking at dashing high upside backups and Davis is absolutely someone that we need to roster.
It’s not unusual for backup quarterbacks who have strong connections with backup wide receivers and that is exactly what we are seeing in Tennessee with Mason Rudolph now leading the way for the Titans and Nick Westbrook a on an absolute hater with four straight games with a touchdown.
Oddly enough, it’s come in a couple of difficult matchups as well.
So this isn’t really just lay up matchups here.
I know that leaning into any Tennessee player feels like a chore, but with receivers continuing to deal with injuries across the league, if you were thin at wide receiver in a deeper league, turning to a player who has seen a dramatic increase in snap count since the exit of deandre Hopkins and also has strong touchdown equity may be one of your better options this week.
