Week 10 brought horrible weather and the frontrunner for Play of the Year with the Kyler Murray-DeAndre Hopkins Hail Mary reception. We even stayed relatively clean as far as injuries went, with QBs bearing the brunt of it. Drew Brees has a rib injury, Teddy Bridgewater left with a knee injury but may return next week, and Matthew Stafford requires an X-ray on his thumb. With those in mind, let's check the waiver wire lightning round heading into Week 11.
This column is published early every week and then updated on a daily basis. Each day of the week will also yield more in-depth waiver wire analysis for all positions. Week 10 has these teams on bye: Bears, Bills, 49ers, and Giants.
Waiver pickups are listed in priority order (in a vacuum) and broken down by position. Players must be rostered in roughly less than 60% of Yahoo leagues and therefore will range from shallow options in standard leagues to deep options in PPR formats.
