NFL Fantasy Football: Waiver Wire pickups Week 10

The Waiver Wire presents a weekly opportunity during each NFL Fantasy Football season for managers to improve their rosters. It can often be more valuable than the trade market because players can be added without giving away other roster pieces. Fantasy managers who pay close attention to the Waiver Wire can often implement a winning strategy around it.

Week 10 of the 2022 NFL Fantasy Football season presents several valuable targets on the Waiver Wire. Some can be utilized as fill-ins for injured players and bye weeks. Others are worth rostering as speculative adds for their potential to carve out a larger role within their offense in the near future.

#1 - QB Marcus Mariota, Atlanta Falcons

Marcus Mariota has been consistent in the rushing game for the Atlanta Falcons, making him a relevant quarterback in Fantasy Football. He has recorded at least five rushing attempts in every game this season while eclipsing 30 yards five times and totaling three rushing touchdowns.

The last time he faced the Carolina Panthers, he set a season-high in fantasy points. He will play them again in Week 10.

#2 - RB Elijah Mitchell, San Francisco 49ers

Elijah Mitchell has appeared in just one game during the 2022-23 NFL season. He was injured in Week 1 against the Chicago Bears and was placed on the injured list. He was recently designated to return, so he should be added off the Waiver Wire in any league he was dropped from. While Christian McCaffrey will be the lead back, the San Francisco 49ers are known to use multiple running backs.

#3 - RB Chase Edmonds, Denver Broncos

The Denver Broncos acquired Chase Edmonds from the Miami Dolphins at the 2022 NFL trade deadline. His role with his new team is yet to be defined, but he's worth a speculative addition from the Waiver Wire. The Broncos have reportedly been left dissatisfied with Melvin Gordon III and Latavius Murray, so Edmonds has a chance to emerge as their lead running back.

#4 - RB Rachaad White, Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Rachaad White has been more involved in the Tampa Bay Buccaneers gameplan as the 2022-23 NFL season continues. He exceeded 10 touches for the first time this year in Week 9. While he doesn't appear to be a threat to take over the lead role from Leonard Fournette, he should continue to increase his workload. His receiving skills also make him an interesting target on the Waiver Wire.

#5 - WR Mecole Hardman, Kansas City Chiefs

When the Kansas City Chiefs moved on from Tyreek Hill during the offseason, many believed Mecole Hardman would take over as their big-play threat. He failed to make much of an impact in the Chiefs' first few games but has exploded recently for five touchdowns in his last three games. He's worth a Waiver Wire addition in the high-powered Chiefs offense.

#6 - WR Terrace Marshall Jr., Carolina Panthers

Carolina Panthers WR Terrace Marshall Jr.

Terrace Marshall Jr. has received an increased role within the Carolina Panthers' offense since Robbie Anderson was traded to the Arizona Cardinals. He has responded by recording 140 yards on 15 targets with a touchdown over the last two weeks. He will also face off against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 10. They currently allow the most fantasy points per game to opposing wide receivers.

#7 - WR Christian Watson, Green Bay Packers

Christian Watson has been relatively disappointing this year after being selected in the second round of the 2022 NFL Draft. He has seen limited action so far this season, but his workload is likely to increase following a significant injury to Romeo Doubs. Watson is worth a speculative addition from the Waiver Wire, especially with Aaron Rodgers seeking a new playmaker in their offense.

#8 - TE Greg Dulcich, Denver Broncos

Greg Dulcich entered the Denver Broncos' lineup in Week 6. He has responded by turning in three consecutive productive performances. He has totaled 12 receptions on 17 targets for 182 yards and a touchdown. The lack of consistent options at tight end in Fantasy Football makes Dulcich a particularly attractive target on the Waiver Wire in Week 10.
