We have officially entered the home stretch of the fantasy regular season. As such, it is slim pickings on the waiver fire. Finding deep names for PPR leagues is no easy task in general, and it only gets harder and hard the later we get. Nevertheless, it's not like there's no one left at all.
The names listed are for some of the desperate owners out there looking for one last flier for the playoff push. Most folks sitting atop the standings likely have their rosters set in stone. Besides, overthinking your moves at this point is a surefire way to end up shooting yourself in the foot. Keep these guys in mind if you're on the outside of the playoff bracket as it currently stands.

Deeper PPR Sleepers For Week 10
Charles Clay - TE, Buffalo Bills (13% Owned)
Charles Clay was on his way to a career year prior to going down with a knee injury back in week five. On track to return Sunday against the Saints, tight end needy owners should look to Clay as a decent plug-in play. He could easily return to being the team's top pass-catcher, even after the addition of receiver Kelvin Benjamin. With New Orleans allowing the third fewest points to opposing tight ends, it's not the best matchup. Clay is a deep flier for Week 10, but needs to be owned the rest of the way.
Thomas Rawls - RB, Seattle Seahawks (13% Owned)
A common name for sure, Thomas Rawls could be in line for heavy usage if Eddie Lacy were to miss this week's game against the Cardinals. With the status of fellow rusher C.J. Prosise unknown, Rawls would be the top option out of the backfield for Seattle. Unfortunately, the Seahawks have struggled to maintain a consistent running game since losing Chris Carson. The old adage of "a starting running back in the NFL has fantasy value" remains true, albeit on a much smaller scale than it used to. Owners would need to be super banged up to consider throwing Rawls right into the fire. That doesn't mean it's a bad move, though. Sometimes you simply need a warm body to fill out your lineup and Rawls could provide that value.
Cole Beasley and Terrance Williams - WR, Dallas Cowboys (19% and 10% Owned)
Cole Beasley has shown he can produce in PPR formats while Terrance Williams would be the primary beneficiary in the event of a Dez Bryant absence. In other words, this duo's value is directly tied to the health of the Cowboys star receiver. Dez did not return in week 9's win over Kansas City, clouding his status for their next game in Atlanta. Since this is a list dedicated to PPR leagues, Beasley would get the edge either way. Williams would be for an even deeper league. Both guys are worth scooping up for some Bryant insurance.
