Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups Hub

RotoBaller drops our top fantasy football Week 10 waiver wire pickups for the 2026 season for RB, WR, TE, and QB. Backup running backs take center stage this week as three new options could be sitting at the top of their respective depth charts ahead of Week 10. This week's must-add fantasy football free agents […]

Week 10 is already here, leaving most fantasy teams about four weeks to secure a playoff spot. Fantasy managers will need to find bye-week replacements, as the Bears, Broncos, Eagles, and Buccaneers are off in Week 10. At RotoBaller HQ, we help you get a jump start on the waiver wire with our Week 10 […]

Last week brought some notable injuries just ahead of a four-team bye, which can really turn the screws on fantasy managers. Not only that, but we will witness a potentially wild trade deadline play out between this publishing and FAAB bids locking in. We will constantly be tweaking guidance and adjusting to new information with […]

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 […]

If you're one of the extreme loyalists still holding onto Josh Downs and Brian Thomas Jr., it's worth holding on just a wee bit longer. The NFL trade deadline closes on Tuesday, November 10th. If these two players aren't moved, fantasy managers can finally move on. Other guys who could have their roster status determined by what […]

Injuries are starting to pile up. Players are starting to emerge in new roles, whether it’s due to missing players, strong play, or bye week adjustments. That means there are plenty of opportunities for fantasy managers to improve their rosters. Week 10 will be a difficult one with the Bears, Eagles, Broncos, and Buccaneers out […]

Time ticks onward as we proceed to double digits with Week 10, which sees four teams (and three fantasy-relevant kickers) hit their bye week. Many of you will be faced with replacing Chase McLaughlin and Cairo Santos, with Wil Lutz forcing a pivot for fewer. Chris Boswell returns to the pool and presents one play, […]

Welcome, RotoBallers, to our Week 10 defense (D/ST) streamers, starts, and tiered rankings.

The regular season continues to advance at an unrelenting pace, and the fantasy postseason is steadily approaching. Your ability to navigate injuries, underwhelming production, and unexpected developments remains essential for you to achieve your goal of securing a league championship. The first five bye weeks are also complete, although running backs from 16 teams will […]

We're back with another edition of Waiver Wire Wide Receivers, this time getting you ready for Week 10. This is a volatile position where gems can come out of nowhere to provide a short-term boost. We've already seen that at times this year, especially with rookies like Omar Cooper Jr. and Germie Bernard. This week, […]

Only having two NFL teams off in Week 9 was so nice for fantasy football managers. Well, hope you enjoyed it while it lasted. Fantasy footballers are back to dealing with another four-teams-off bye week. The tight end position loses two major members as Chicago’s Colston Loveland and Philadelphia’s Dallas Goedert are both on bye, […]

Week 9 was a feast-or-famine week at quarterback heading into Sunday night. Three quarterbacks (C.J. Stroud, Jordan Love, and Joe Burrow) were game changers, scoring 30+ fantasy points and throwing for three touchdowns, or, in Stroud's case, five. Unfortunately, only four other signal callers managed 20+ fantasy points on the week. Week 10 will deprive […]

It was another bloodbath this past weekend. Patrick Mahomes II went down with an elbow injury but stayed in the game, though he looked to be in quite a bit of pain. Josh Jacobs broke his finger. Jaylen Waddle got a concussion. Rhamondre Stevenson and Puka Nacua both hurt their knee. Massive injuries that fantasy […]

Let's turn the page to Week 10 after another up-and-down weekend of NFL play. We'll gather around after a slate that supplied several injuries and blowouts to figure out who our key waiver adds in both shallow and deep leagues will be. Fantasy managers gearing up for the stretch run can get ready with our […]

Let us take another moment to appreciate the 2026 NFL Draft class. This group was universally panned as a “down year,” a “disappointing pool of talent,” and was routinely overlooked on the way to a 2027 class that is supposed to be historic. However, that 2026 class, considered “light on blue chippers,” has produced at […]

Welcome back, RotoBallers, to our Cut List Rankings for fantasy football Week 10 of the 2026 NFL season. With another week of NFL action in the books, it's time to turn our attention to the waiver wire. On Sunday, managers saw many players suffer injuries, and some continue their first-half slump, which has put them […]

Hey RotoBallers, the weekend is here, and it's time to scout the waiver wire for some potential pickups to help bolster your fantasy roster. Only the Titans and Steelers are on a bye in Week 9, leaving managers with fewer options to pick up and stream this week. Whether you are taking a chance on […]

Hey RotoBallers! Welcome to the ninth edition of our High-Upside Bench Stashes series. The calendar has turned to November, and it is officially time to start planning for the fantasy football playoffs. This week, we will look at running backs who could hold long-term stash value, along with potential standout rookies and a rookie wide […]

The waiver wire is a source of both great pleasure and great pain for fantasy football managers. It can be a nightmare constantly tracking the injury statuses and projected production of a lot of players on the fantasy roster bubble every week. It's difficult to predict exactly when certain players will break out, of course, […]

Welcome, RotoBallers, to our fantasy football D/ST streamers and starts for Weeks 9, 10, 11, and 12 of the 2026 season.

Hey RotoBallers! It's almost time to set our next round of fantasy lineups. With the fantasy season past the halfway point, it's even more important to win your matchups and secure a postseason spot. One way to gain an edge in your matchup is to target a kicker in a favorable matchup. In this piece, […]

Welcome back, RotoBallers, to our Weekend Cut List Rankings for fantasy football Week 9 of the 2026 NFL season. Another slate of NFL action is just under 24 hours away, which means it's almost time to set our lineups. However, with injuries piling up and players struggling, managers may need to cut ties with a […]

Mike Gesicki has scored in five straight games, while Greg Dulcich has collected 13 catches over his last three appearances without a touchdown. Dulcich's steadier volume gives him the edge in PPR; Gesicki brings the stronger touchdown case. The Pittsburgh Steelers and Tennessee Titans are on bye, leaving Pat Freiermuth managers searching for a replacement. […]

While you probably won't ever be able to pick them up off waivers, and it might be difficult to swing a trade for a single one of them in any of your fantasy leagues, the top-12 fantasy football running backs are undoubtedly extremely important to the outcome of fantasy leagues. The top few of them […]

Malik Willis threw two touchdown passes across Miami's first five games. He has matched that total in each of his two appearances since the bye, making him my first Week 9 streaming choice against Detroit. His recent passing improvement matters after a quiet rushing performance against New England. Seattle plans to start Drew Lock against […]

Chase McLaughlin keeps turning the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' stalled drives into fantasy points. He enters Week 9 without a missed field goal, but Sunday's road matchup with the Chicago Bears presents a tougher assignment before the Buccaneers take their bye. That leaves a choice between his immediate value and a longer commitment elsewhere. Drew Stevens […]

Fantasy managers get a break from the bye week blues; however, the injuries never stop. Surviving those continues to be the theme of the season. Your job each week is to set the strongest lineup that you possibly can. In one league of mine, a team last week tried to set an incomplete lineup, choosing […]

The calendar has turned to November, which brings Week 9 (a modest two-team bye, thank goodness) to our doorsteps! Some of you will have to find a replacement for Chris Boswell, and others are moving on from Tyler Loop (injured) and Spencer Shrader (dismantled team), but most of you can be flexible, and perhaps even […]

Hey RotoBallers! Another slate of NFL action kicks off in a few days! While most are focused on setting their optimal lineups, managers in an inch may need to cut ties with a full year in order to fill their starting lineup. In this piece, we will look at four underperforming players who are viable […]

Welcome to Week 9 of our fantasy football breakout candidate piece for the 2026 NFL season. Each week, we'll point you to emerging players who aren't just top pickups but could see their fantasy values surge by the end of the weekend. All players listed in this article are rostered in less than 50% of […]

Hey RotoBallers, we are back with more updated waiver wire advice. It's Week 9, and fantasy managers should scout the waiver wire for players who can help with that playoff push or add a high-upside bench or injury stash. Only the Steelers and Titans are on bye this week, so there are more streamers to […]

Welcome RotoBallers! Another slate of NFL action is in the books, and we have officially passed the halfway point of the season. Managers now have a clear picture of what positions they need to improve to make a run at the championship. Below, we will look at four upside stashes managers should consider picking up […]

After weeks of watching players drive us crazy and finally reaching a point where we're comfortable sending them to the waiver wire, we still have to wait until the NFL trade deadline. Several players who have graced this series throughout the year are now subject to trade talks. Historically speaking, midseason NFL trades rarely mean […]

We will also look at some emerging wide receivers, including the No. 2 option in New York, who could be poised for a post-bye-week […]

Are injuries worse than ever in the NFL? This is a common question posed by fans every year, but 2026 surely feels different than most. With multiple superstars being knocked out of games in the first quarter, giving fantasy managers a goose egg from one of their top picks, and prominent names littering IR slots, […]

The fantasy season is officially halfway over. We are starting to see some players earn bigger roles, others get their workloads reduced, and teams across the league navigate injuries. The fantasy playoffs are starting to come into focus. Regardless of how your team started, everybody still has a chance to find a way into their […]

Gather around and let's discuss how to best use what's left in those FAAB wallets after yet another loopy week of NFL action. We saw a slate-altering injury, more weather-marred games, and plenty of duds that kicked some of our rosters around. But we know that one week does not define a season, and now […]

It's November, and amazingly we're already in Week 9! In most fantasy leagues, about five weeks remain in the regular season, so there is still plenty of time to make a playoff push. The Steelers and Titans are the only teams on a Week 9 bye. At RotoBaller HQ, we get a head start on […]

Welcome back, RotoBallers, to our Cut List Rankings for fantasy football Week 9 of the 2026 NFL season. Another slate of NFL action is behind us, which means it's time to turn our attention to the waiver wire. On Sunday, managers saw many players suffer potentially serious injuries, while several underperforming assets continued their first-half […]

We saw plenty of poor weather, third-string touchdowns, and a handful of slate-altering injuries, so allow us to help collect those thoughts as we proceed to Week 9. This gives us a chance to take stock of potential waiver adds in both shallow and deep leagues alike. Let's see what the early adds look like […]

Every week, every week, there is something. This week, we saw Ashton Jeanty essentially get benched, more or less, for the rookie Mike Washington Jr. This backfield just got a whole lot messier. Will this stick or was it a one-week blip? Fantasy managers can't be sure, which makes this situation even more challenging. Fantasy […]

Each week, it's important to stay on top of the waiver wire, but especially with wide receivers. That's because this is a position where you're most likely to find major value. We've already seen it so far this year with rookies like Omar Cooper Jr. and Germie Bernard. At the same time, we also have […]

This is not the week byes will destroy fantasy football managers. Only the Pittsburgh Steelers and Tennessee Titans are on bye this upcoming week, which is forgiving for fantasy footballers after back-to-back weeks where four teams were off. Steelers stalwarts Pat Freiermuth and Darnell Washington will be missing from fantasy squads this week, so there […]

Eight weeks of the regular season are now complete as you enter the planning process for your Week 9 matchups. You have already been required to navigate a variety of obstacles as you progress through your path toward the fantasy postseason. That includes injuries, bye weeks, and other unwanted challenges as you construct your rosters. […]

Week 8 had some truly impressive quarterback performances. Whether it was Joe Burrow (462 yards, five touchdowns, and three interceptions) and Cam Ward (304 yards and two touchdowns) dueling it out in a shootout or Kirk Cousins (247 yards, three passing touchdowns, and one rushing touchdown) putting up another big week, quarterbacks once again produced. […]

While most waivers have already run, fantasy managers should scout the waiver wire to bolster their roster by taking a chance on a high-upside player or an injury stash. At RotoBaller HQ, we have […]
