Fantasy Football Week 10: Waiver wire pickups

If your fantasy roster needs a little mid-season enhancing, we’re here to help. Each week, we highlight the top potential waiver pickups available in at least 50% of Yahoo fantasy football leagues. Add as needed, and please use them responsibly.

Quarterbacks

Russell Wilson, Pittsburgh Steelers (17% rostered)

Wilson is coming off back-to-back wins in which he’s passed for 542 yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions while his team has totaled 63 points. Whatever expectations you may have had for Russ, he’s almost certainly exceeded them. He’s consistently hitting receivers on time and with extraordinary touch. George Pickens was already delivering an impressive season with Justin Fields at the controls, but it’s clear his weekly ceiling is higher with Wilson. A solid argument can be made for Pickens as a buy-high.

Pittsburgh exits their bye with a series of neutral-to-friendly matchups ahead, beginning this week at Washington. The version of Wilson we’ve seen in Week 7-8 can be a solid rest-of-season answer for fantasy managers at quarterback. At 35, Wilson no longer offers significant rushing upside, but it’s clear he can still cook as a passer.

Recommended FAB offer (assuming $100 budget): $7

Justin Herbert, Los Angeles Chargers (44%)

Herbert’s widespread availability is understandable, because he only rarely threw the ball in the season’s first month. He entered his team’s Week 5 bye without having reached 180 passing yards in any game.

Volume definitely hasn’t been an issue in recent weeks, however, and the Chargers’ receiving room is getting healthy. Herbert is coming off consecutive multi-TD games and he’s averaged 303 yards over his last three. He won’t actually face an intimidating matchup until we get deep into December, so keep him in your streaming plans in the weeks ahead. He still has dates upcoming with Cincinnati, Baltimore and Tampa Bay, three of the league’s more user-friendly pass defenses.

FAB: $7
