Top 10 wire downloads for week 10

We’re nine full weeks into the 2025 NFL season, and with that, you’re eight weeks into yours fantasy football season. Injuries have ravaged the fantasy football landscape so far, but you can get back at your leaguemates – or stay ahead of them – with this Week 10 waiver wire.

Injuries continue to rock your lineups, with Jaden Daniels and Tucker Kraft both likely lost for the rest of the year. Losing two key players at two key positions is a tough thing to recover from, but the lead-up to Week 10 is a great time to pick yourself up and move forward.

The following list (except for one) includes players who are listed on less than 50 percent of all ESPN rosters, making the odds of picking them up pretty high. In Week 9, do your best to zip up the edges of your roster as you look to start the season strong

Week 10 Waiver of wire takeover

1. RB Trey Benson, Arizona Cardinals
49.1% in the list

With James Conner out for the rest of the year and an offense now leaning on Bama Knight as their RB1, the Arizona Cardinals will likely look to feed Trey Benson a heavy dose of carries when he returns from injured reserve. After suffering a knee injury in Week 4, Benson has missed every game since, but has been increasingly trying to return.

This addition is more for planning ahead, as he is not expected to return in Week 10, but to stand out among your league mates, targeting Benson a week early can give you an edge.

2. RB Tijae Spears, Tennessee Titans
43.9% in the list

Tony Pollard’s experiment with the Tennessee Titans hasn’t gotten off to a good start this year, and the return of Tayya Spears from injury has given this backfield a nice injection of talent. Spears is the more explosive option of the two and is better suited in the passing game, as he has posted three-plus receptions in each of his last four games.

With TEN facing multiple passing scenarios, often playing from behind, Spears has a safer floor than most of the backs available for your Week 10 waiver wire.

3. VR Troy Franklin, Denver Broncos
51.9% in the list

There may have been a changing of the guard for the Denver Broncos at wide receiver, as Troy Franklin slowly eased into Courtland Sutton’s VR1 role. Franklin has earned at least six targets in six games this year, including 28 over the past three weeks.

Is there a new VR1 in Denver?

– Courtland Sutton: 62 targets, 38 catches, 566 yards, 4 TDs, 804 yards, 3 end zone targets

– Troy Franklin: 64 targets, 37 catches, 385 yards, 4 TDs, 811 air yards, 6 end zone targets

Franklin leads in targets/air share and end zone targets

As Denver continues to participate in the AFC playoff race, look for Franklin to offer a solid VR3/FLEX floor with high emphasis as a top member of the Broncos offense.

4. KB Sam Darnold, Seattle Seahawks
41.9% in the list

Sam Darnold has been the favorite at quarterback this year, and his performance against the Washington Commanders in Week 9 was a perfect example of what he can do for your fantasy football players.

Darnold scored four touchdowns in a truly impressive night for the SEA offense, and Darnold’s relationship with Jakon Smith-Njigba only grew as the season went on. With upcoming matchups against the Cardinals, Titans and Minnesota Vikings, Darnold has plenty of favorable matchups that should allow him to continue putting up KB1 numbers.

5. VR Torey Horton, Seattle Seahawks
7.3% in the list

In Cooper Kupp’s absence, Colorado State rookie Torey Horton stepped up in a big way for the Seahawks in Week 9, scoring two touchdowns. Horton has impressed with a light workload in his first season, as he has just 161 receiving yards, but has found the end zone five times.

With Kupp’s health is a big uncertaintylook for Horton to continue to grow in his role as a secondary target for Darnold. If you need to add a depth piece to your bench, Horton should be your top target.

6. TE Colston Loveland, Chicago Bears
23.6% in the list

Colston Loveland finally broke out in a big way for the Chicago Bears when he snapped first 100-yard performance by a rookie tight end since Mike Ditka, all the way back in 1961. Loveland’s breakthrough performance fits in with the surge after the bye week, as the Bears look to lean more heavily on their youth on offense.

If your roster needs a starting TE to fill the void left by Kraft, Loveland should be your top Week 10 pick-up target.

7. VR Parker Washington, Jacksonville Jaguars
5.1% in the list

With Travis Hunter placed on IR and Brian Thomas Jr. out with an ankle injury in Week 9, Parker Washington now it seems to be VR1 for Trevor Lawrence and the Jacksonville Jaguars. While Thomas’ health heading into Week 10 is still up in the air, Washington will step into a fantasy-relevant role in the JAKS offense.

While the Week 10 matchup with the Houston Texans isn’t favorable for Washington, it has the opportunity to offer FLEX value for your fantasy football roster heading into next week and beyond.

8. RB Isaiah Davis, New York Jets
9.1% in the list

Coming off their bye week, the New York Jets are 1-7 on the season and not looking to do much the rest of the year. Frequently brought up in trade discussions leading up to this year’s trade deadline, Breece Hall could be a hot commodity for teams looking to add a proven running back.

Even if Hall stays with the Jets, Isaiah Davis has stepped into a backup role behind Hall, offering some fantastic value. In Week 8, Davis had his best game of the year, racking up over 100 all-purpose yards on 12 touches, including five receptions. The Jets will likely look to feature Davis more as the season progresses, so stop things before that happens and add Davis to their Week 10 roster.

9. VR Christian Watson, Green Bay Packers
25.6% in the list

The Green Bay Packers, after losing Kraft to a torn ACL, will have to go back to the drawing board as they plan to move the ball on offense. The return of Christian Watson from his own torn ACL is a much-needed addition to the UK offense, and hopefully he will help stretch the field as a vertical threat for Jordan Love.

Expecting weekly VR2 numbers isn’t realistic, especially given how Green Bay’s passing attack works, but Watson absolutely can factor into your weekly FLEX conversation, and he’s included in just over a quarter of all ESPN rosters.

10. RB Devin Singletary, New York Giants
4.5% in the list

The last player on the waiver wire in Week 10 is Devin Singletary, who is now the RB2 for the New York Giants following Cam Skateb’s season-ending injury. With Tyrone Tracy Jr. who takes over the starting role, Singletary will play a backup role, but if Week 9 is any sign of things to come, he may factor more into the game plan than expected.

Tracy was ineffective against the San Francisco 49ers, with Singletary earning more carries and total touches than the starter. While Tracy will likely still make rookie money, Singletary should see enough work to fill in as a RB3/bie week for your fantasy football roster.
