Week 10 Fantasy Football Waiver Wire: Top Player Pickups for 2025

Quarterback Recommendations

• 🎯 Marcus Mariota is the top short-term pickup due to favorable matchups against Detroit and Miami, despite not being a pretty option.
• 💡 Justin Fields and JJ McCarthy are recommended as longer-term stashes for the fantasy playoffs, with strong upcoming schedules.
• 🧠 Baker Mayfield is highlighted for his trust in Chris Godwin, potentially making TZ Johnson less appealing if Godwin returns.

Running Back Waiver Wire Options

• 🏃‍♂️ Devin Singletary is the top available running back, splitting reps but favored by the coaching staff.
• 📌 Devin Neal is a stash option, currently playing 40% of snaps but showing potential for increased usage.
• 🚀 If Breece Hall is traded, Isaiah Pacheco would become the top waiver priority for the Jets.

Wide Receiver Targets

• 🌟 Parker Washington is a strong immediate pickup, especially in full PPR leagues, despite a tough matchup.
• 📈 Tory Horton offers upside if Cooper Kupp is out, but his role and target share are uncertain due to Seahawks' offensive tendencies.
• 📊 Josh Downs is favored over Alec Pierce for consistency and a shorter target role, though both have potential.
• 🏈 Tory Franklin is a recommended stash with a high-end WR3 potential, despite inconsistent production.

Tight End and Kicker/DST Picks

• 🏈 Luke Musgrave is a highly available tight end with upside, expected to step into Tucker Craft's role.
• 🛡️ The Cleveland Browns DST is the top streaming option against a struggling Jets offense.
• 🦵 Chase McLaughlin is a recommended kicker pickup, coming off a bye and facing the Patriots.

Player Availability and Stash Considerations

• 🧐 Chris Godwin is a priority if healthy, with a history of high target volume, making TZ Johnson less attractive.
• ⚠️ Alec Pierce is a talented player, but Josh Downs is preferred for his shorter target role and higher availability.
• ⏳ Daniel Jones's performance is scrutinized, with concerns about pass rush and consistency in non-ideal environments.
