Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Outlooks
Below are some fantasy football waiver wire outlooks written by our NFL team here at RotoBaller, bringing you their fantasy football analysis and advice on which players to consider adding off waivers in Week 10:
Emmett Johnson, Kansas City Chiefs
Kansas City Chiefs running back Emmett Johnson could take on a much larger role this Sunday as the team heads to Atlanta to face the Falcons. Johnson rushed six times for 34 yards and a touchdown against the New York Jets last week. The rookie has had at least six opportunities and a touchdown in back-to-back weeks and those opportunities could go up this week.
Chiefs RB1 Kenneth Walker arrived at the practice facility on Friday complaining of groin tightness and did not practice. While the move could be precautionary, Johnson could end up being the lead back this weekend if Walker is unable to go. As of Friday, Walker is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's contest.
The rookie has been electric in his limited opportunities this season, especially as a pass catcher, and he could have the opportunity to go off against a soft Falcons rush defense. Johnson is among the league leaders in forced missed tackles on a per-touch basis, a trait that he excelled at in college at Nebraska. If Walker is ruled out this Sunday, Johnson should be considered an absolute must-start and would likely rank as a low-end RB1/high-end RB2.
Jonathon Brooks, Carolina Panthers
Carolina Panthers running back Jonathon Brooks (abdomen), who remains on Injured Reserve, is listed as doubtful to play in Week 10 on Sunday against the division-rival New Orleans Saints, according to Joe Person of The Athletic. Brooks took scout-team reps at practice on Wednesday and Thursday but was erroneously listed as a full participant.
Instead, Brooks was limited, and he is unlikely to come off IR on Saturday and play on Sunday in New Orleans. It means that he most likely will not return from IR until next week at home against the Baltimore Ravens in Week 11. The 23-year-old former second-rounder from Texas has had trouble staying healthy in his NFL career, playing in just five games since being drafted in 2024.
He has only played in two games for the Panthers in 2026 due to a core-muscle injury, and he has only nine rushing attempts for 30 yards while catching two passes for 43 yards in the passing game.
When healthy, he should return as the change-of-pace backfield complement to starting RB Chuba Hubbard in Carolina's passing game, making him a PPR stash at the running back position as he nears his return from IR. Hubbard will have another opportunity to dominate the touches for the Panthers this weekend against the Saints.
Tutu Atwell, Los Angeles Rams
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Tutu Atwell has seen nine targets over his last two games, and his volume could continue to surge heading into Week 10 against the Arizona Cardinals. Atwell has seen increased opportunities on offense with wide receiver Davante Adams (hamstring) on injured reserve, and now, Puka Nacua (knee) and Jordan Whittington (back) are both headed for an extended absence.
Nacua is averaging a whopping 13.3 targets per game this season, so that's a lot of vacated targets that will now be distributed among the Rams' other receivers, including Atwell. Historically, the 27-year-old has been more of a deep threat, but we would not be surprised if the Rams get him more involved in the intermediate passing game to make up for the loss of Adams and Nacua.
Matthew Stafford has a long track record of supporting fantasy-relevant receivers, so Atwell has a decent chance to get on the WR3/flex radar, especially if he can establish himself as a preferred option ahead of Konata Mumpfield and CJ Daniels. Fantasy managers in leagues with at least 12-14 teams should strongly consider adding Atwell off waivers, as he's likely headed for at least four or five weeks of fantasy relevance.
Konata Mumpfield, Los Angeles Rams
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Konata Mumpfield has a realistic opportunity to emerge as the No. 1 option in the receiver room going forward. The Rams placed Davante Adams (hamstring) on injured reserve a few weeks back, lost Jordan Whittington (back) to IR this week, and are now expected to be without Puka Nacua (knee) for an extended period of time.
Quarterback Matthew Stafford is losing his top targets left and right, and now, Mumpfield appears to be the No. 1 option remaining in the wide receiver room. He has shown flashes of upside from time to time this season, such as when he caught four passes for 93 yards and a touchdown with Nacua sidelined back in Week 3. Meanwhile, he also has played at least 43% of the snaps in each of his last four games.
Now that Mumpfield is slated to headline the receiving corps, we would not be surprised if his snap share soars to at least 70% in the weeks to come. While there are other receivers in the mix to earn more volume, making Mumpfield far from a lock to post fantasy-relevant numbers, we certainly like his chances to contribute in fantasy football relative to the rest of the Rams' pass catchers.
He has WR3/flex upside going forward, although managers in leagues with fewer than 14 teams should consider leaving Mumpfield on the bench this week while we wait to see exactly what his role will look like.
