Week 10 Waiver Wire
Quarterback
Drake Maye -- He looks like a near-elite Fantasy QB to me.
If you want more context on Maye, here's a thread that I created on twitter.
Daniel Jones - The Giants have a respectable Vegas implied point total (23 points, tied for 14th on the week) against the Panthers, and Daniel Jones just may be worth a roll of the dice if streaming the position.
Running Back
Kimani Vidal - J.K. Dobbins is being asked to handle the largest workload of his career and the early-season bye week means that he'll have to do so for 10+ weeks-straight.
Tyjae Spears - Similarly, I'm worried about the Titans riding Tony Pollard into the dirt. Spears could absolutely capitalize on the late-season schedule if Pollard is sidelined during that time.
MarShawn Lloyd - I loved Lloyd as a prospect! We could see the rook work his way into a significant role late in the season.
Blake Corum - Same logic as Vidal. Early-season bye week + a bellcow RB1 who has an injury history has me stashing the team's RB2 everywhere.
Trey Benson - Arizona's backfield belongs to James Conner for as long as he's healthy, but Benson's time could be coming at any moment. He got a few more touches than usual in a blowout win over Chicago, one of which was a second quarter goal line touchdown. James Conner touched the ball eight times for 53 scrimmage yards on that drive but left briefly with an injury, so Benson capped the drive off.
Assuming Conner's practice participation is normal this week, Benson will likely be back in his usual role. He's a fine running back to stash if you have the bench space, but I do think Emari Demercado would likely play as many passing downs as possible. That seems to be Arizona's preference.
Jaylen Wright - Maybe we see the rookie play a larger role down the stretch!

Wide Receiver
Xavier Legette - He clearly played ahead of Jalen Coker, and both are worth a roster spot in deeper leagues following the Jonathan Mingo trade. I'd expect the Panthers to get as many opportunities to the young talent as possible to close the season.
Jalen Coker - Neither of Carolina's rookie receivers grades out particularly well in terms of the Fantasy Points Data Suite's separation metrics. Of the two, Coker's grades are slightly better. I talked about Coker on Monday's Beyond the Box Score if you missed that. His per-route production has been really strong so far.
Demarcus Robinson - He has been balling lately. The return of Cooper Kupp and Puka Nacua frees Robinson up to be facing isolated coverage on almost every play. He could put up another productive Fantasy day in a projected Week 10 shootout vs. the Dolphins.
Tight End 
Taysom Hill - His Week 9 role was fantastic, and that was in a game where Alvin Kamara was force-fed a career-high 35 touches. I'd expect New Orleans to scale that usage back a bit, which could shuffle even more looks over Hill's way.
In Week 9, Hill tied Kamara for the team-lead in first-read targets. He ran a route on 42% of the Saints dropbacks and was heavily involved as a rusher (five attempts, three coming in the red zone) as well. Hill projects as a top-10 Fantasy TE for me in Week 10.
