Fantasy football waiver wire rankings for Week 10 of the 2025 NFL season. Top free agent options to add off waivers, and our rankings will help you prioritize.
Just like that, Week 10 is already here! The NFL trade deadline is Tuesday, as teams could make moves that shake a player's fantasy value. In addition to injuries, fantasy managers must also contend with bye weeks, as the Bengals, Cowboys, Titans, and Chiefs are off in Week 10. At RotoBaller HQ, we sort through it all with our Week 10 fantasy football waiver wire rankings for Week 10 of the 2025 NFL season. Nick Mariano has ranked the top 85 free agent options to help you prioritize who to add off the waiver wire.
Several players still have low roster percentages and could have an immediate impact on fantasy teams in 2025. Is Bears tight end Colston Loveland a must-add after his breakout performance on Sunday? With Cooper Kupp sidelined, is Tory Horton Seattle's No. 2 option after Jaxson Smith-Njigba? Is Parker Washington worth adding after reeling in eight of nine targets for 90 yards in Sunday's win over the Raiders?
We have answers to these questions and will guide you with our top 85 fantasy football waiver wire pickups list for Week 10. Time to go make some moves, tweak your fantasy teams, and grab some waiver wire stashes. Good luck, RotoBallers!

Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Outlooks
Some of the top names include Kyle Monangai, Trey Benson, Parker Washington, Colston Loveland, Tory Horton, Troy Franklin, and more. We recap why these players rostered under 55% in Yahoo! leagues should be on your waiver wire radar for Week 10.
Colston Loveland, TE, Chicago Bears
Week 10 Waiver Wire Rankings: 12
Chicago Bears rookie tight end Colston Loveland put together a breakout performance against the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday. The rookie tight end has been quiet throughout most of the season, but was excellent versus the Bears. He snagged his first career touchdown with a five-yard grab in the third quarter. Loveland topped that with a 58-yard game-winning score with 17 seconds remaining on the clock.
Loveland finished his day by hauling in six of his seven targets for 118 yards and a pair of touchdowns in the win. It's worth noting that Cole Kmet (concussion) exited this game early. His status will play into Loveland's fantasy value for the Week 10 matchup against the New York Giants.
Tory Horton, WR, Seattle Seahawks
Week 10 Waiver Wire Rankings: 17
Seattle Seahawks rookie wide receiver Tory Horton hauled in all four of his targets for 48 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday night's blowout win against the Washington Commanders. Horton scored the first two touchdowns of the night for Seattle, giving him five now on the season and tying Tampa Bay Buccaneers' rookie wideout Emeka Egbuka for the most among first-year receivers.
The rookie out of Colorado State took advantage of his opportunities with multiple other Seattle wide receivers sidelined for this matchup against Washington's poor defense. Horton looks like a legitimate flex option moving forward if Cooper Kupp (heel, hamstring) were to miss any more time.
Troy Franklin, WR, Denver Broncos
Week 10 Waiver Wire Rankings: 9
Denver Broncos wide receiver Troy Franklin paces the team in targets for the second straight week with 10 on the day in Sunday's 18-15 win against the Houston Texans. Franklin finished with four catches on 10 targets for 27 yards and one two-point conversion, which was a crucial play to tie the game at 15 apiece in the fourth quarter.
Although Franklin paced the team in targets, he would end up being outproduced by both running back RJ Harvey and wide receiver Courtland Sutton on the day, who both had one touchdown each and more receiving yards. With Franklin's targets showing consistency, he is likely to continue being a featured part of the Broncos' offense and is a FLEX play heading into Thursday's matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders.
Trey Benson, RB, Arizona Cardinals
Week 10 Waiver Wire Rankings: 2
According to Arizona Cardinals head coach Jonathan Gannon, running back Trey Benson (knee) has been attending team meetings to "get his mind back on football." The 23-year-old suffered a torn meniscus in the Week 4 loss to the Seattle Seahawks.
As a result, he underwent surgery and was placed on the Injured Reserve list. Benson had moved to the No. 1 spot on the depth chart after James Conner (Achilles) was ruled out for the remainder of the 2025 campaign. In four appearances, he ran for 160 yards off 29 carries, adding 13 grabs (16 targets) for 64 yards.
It appears he's inching closer toward a return. For now, the 2024 No. 66 overall pick will remain on the IR, with Bam Knight expected to handle the majority of the touches out of the backfield. It's unknown if Benson will reclaim his place atop the depth chart immediately upon his return.
With that said, Benson is worth stashing on fantasy rosters, although it may not be wise to start him until it's clear he's ready for a full workload. The Cardinals will face the Dallas Cowboys on Monday night before turning their attention to the Seahawks in Week 10.
Kyle Monangai, RB, Chicago Bears
Week 10 Waiver Wire Rankings: 1
Chicago Bears running back Kyle Monangai rushed for 176 yards on 26 carries during Sunday's win over the Cincinnati Bengals. He also caught three of his five targets for an additional 22 receiving yards. Monangai was thrust into the lead-back role with D'Andre Swift (groin) sidelined, and he took full advantage of the opportunity, notching 29 touches in just his eighth career NFL game.
The rookie seventh-round pick has played well enough over the last few weeks that he might be able to hold onto the lead-back role even when Swift is healthy again. At the very least, Monangai will carve out a sizable complementary role, giving him an RB3/flex floor on a weekly basis. He's an RB3 heading into Week 10 against the New York Giants and could jump to the low-end RB1 tier if Swift is ruled out.
