Managers who find consistent success in fantasy football likely know the importance of utilizing the waiver wire. Running backs are one of the most important positions to address as their roles with their NFL teams significantly impact their fantasy outlooks. Here are some of the best ones to target in Week 10 of the 2024 season.
Fantasy Football Week 10 Waiver Wire RBs
#1 - Ray Davis
Ray Davis was drafted by the Buffalo Bills this year to add depth to their running backs behind James Cook. He was lightly used in the early stages of the 2024 fantasy football season, playing in more than 20% of the offensive snaps just once in his first five games. He has been much more involved recently, exceeding that same number in each of his past four games.
The increased playing time has resulted in improved fantasy numbers for Davis, who has finished as the RB22 or better in three of his past four games. He is clearly trending in the right direction and makes for a solid addition off of the Week 10 waiver wire in fantasy football.
#2 - Tyrone Tracy Jr.
Tyrone Tracy Jr. turned in a relatively disappointing performance for the New York Giants last week, finishing as just the weekly RB32 in fantasy football. Prior to his down week, he had finished among the top 15 weekly running backs in three of his past four games. He has also played in more than 50% of the offensive snaps in all of them, signaling that he is clearly their featured back.
The rookie has eclipsed Devin Singletary on the depth and has significantly outperformed him since doing so. Tracy has an excellent opportunity to get back on track in Week 10 in an extremely favorable matchup against the struggling Carolina Panthers defense.
#3 - Rico Dowdle
Rico Dowdle has been the featured running back for the Dallas Cowboys this season in favor of Ezekiel Elliott and Dalvin Cook. While the team's rushing deficiencies have been a major problem this year, Dowdle has been quietly productive in fantasy football. He has finished among the top 10 weekly running backs in two of his past three games.
The Cowboys recently received devastating news that Dak Prescott suffered a hamstring injury that is expected to keep him out for multiple weeks. This could mean that the team will put more of a focus on their rushing game, which should mean a larger workload for Dowdle. He is one of the best speculative adds from the Week 10 waiver wire.
