Our favorite high-upside waiver wire bench stashes, fantasy football sleepers for Week 10 of 2026. Waiver wire stashes include xxxx, and more.
Welcome RotoBallers! With another slate of NFL action in the books, it's time to turn our attention to the waiver wire. Like most weeks, injuries stole much of the headlines in Week 10, as star wideout Puka Nacua is likely to go on the IR while Josh Jacobs undergoes finger surgery and could also hit the IR.
Below, we will look at four sneaky stashes with long-term upside who could give managers a boost down the stretch.
Who should we be stashing this week? Let's dive in!

High-Upside Waiver Wire Bench Stashes
Only players rostered in fewer than 30% of fantasy football leagues are considered potential streamers.
Sione Vaki, RB, DET
3% Rostered
With many starting running backs dealing with injuries this season, stashing a clear No. 2 in the game's most productive offenses is never a bad idea. With Isiah Pacheco on the injured reserve, Sione Vaki has operated as RB2 in Detroit. While he has not had a massive role as Jahmy Gibbs has dominated the snap share, Vaki is the only other RB on the roster who has logged any offensive snaps this season (outside of Jacob Slayers' two snaps in Week 3).
If Gibbs misses time, the Lions would likely add more depth, but managers should expect Vaki to take the lead role.
Samaje Perine, RB, CIN
15% Rostered
The other "handcuff" running back to consider stashing has slightly more short-term value than Vaki. The 31-year-old has occasionally seen his usage increase in the Bengals offense, despite Chase Brown operating as the lead back. Perine has logged double-digit carries in two games this season and has eclipsed the 7.0 PPR point mark in three contests.
However, like the case for Vaki, Perine would see a massive role if Brown were to suffer an injury. Through eight games, Brown has averaged 12.9 attempts per game with 5.6 targets per game.
Reggie Virgil, WR, ARI
1% Rostered
The 22-year-old rookie could see a massive uptick in opportunities in the immediate future. With Michael Wilson (neck) out for the remainder of the season and Kendrick Bourne on the IR, Virgil could very well slide into the "WR1" role in the Arizona offense. While the passing attack will still run through Trey McBride, Virgil could be a sneaky pickup for managers in deeper leagues.
In their Week 9 loss to the Seahawks, Virgil drew four targets, trailing only the noted Wilson and McBride. In fact, the other wideouts Devin Duvernay and Elijah Higgins combined for just four targets, suggesting Virgil should have the edge in opportunities.
What a grab by Reggie Virgil!

Roman Wilson, WR, PIT
5% Rostered
Our final stash option is a top option for this week with an open IR spot. Roman Wilson began to find his footing in the NFL before hitting the IR with a finger injury. Through the first four games, Wilson drew six targets in each contest and totaled at least 60 yards in each of his last two games.
However, he logged only 20 offensive snaps in Week 5 before exiting early. While rookie Germie Bernard has impressed in a larger role and Michael Pittman Jr. is due back from the IR as well, Wilson was establishing a connection with Aaron Rodgers and could have weekly FLEX potential for much of the fantasy football playoffs.
