Believe it or not, the fantasy playoffs are just around the corner. Now is the time for contenders to solidify their rosters on the waiver wire, and for teams fighting in the middle to emerge as potential champions.
Being able to find fantasy points on the waiver wire is essential to navigating through injuries and bye weeks. Thankfully, there are several available options to bolster your team’s fantasy output this week.
This article will focus on players available in at least 50% of Yahoo leagues, as well as some deep sleepers rostered in less than 20% of leagues. Without further ado, here are the best Week 10 streaming options at every position.

Quarterback Streaming Options Week 10
Jacoby Brissett, Arizona Cardinals at Seattle Seahawks (14% Rostered)
Jacoby Brissett has made three starts for the Arizona Cardinals without Kyler Murray, completing 65.8% of his passes for 860 yards, six touchdowns, and one interception. Brissett is the QB10 in fantasy since taking over, averaging 22.1 points per game.
Brissett has been a top 10 quarterback in yards per attempt (7.7) this season, and his fantasy effectiveness is largely being driven by his willingness to attack defenses downfield. He is second among quarterbacks in deep ball completion percentage (50%) and deep ball catchable pass rate (57.1%).
The Seahawks aren’t an ideal matchup for quarterbacks this season, but Brissett is playing at a high enough level to warrant the risk.
Deep Sleeper: Davis Mills, Houston Texans vs Jacksonville Jaguars (1% Rostered)
Houston has already ruled C.J. Stroud out for Week 10, setting the stage for Davis Mills to make his first start since 2023.
In the first two seasons of his career, Mills completed 63.6% of his passes for 5,782 yards, 33 touchdowns, and 25 interceptions while making 26 starts for the Texans. Mills struggles with decision-making and taking sacks, but he has respectable weapons at his disposal in Week 10.
Jacksonville has allowed the 11th most passing yards (2,063) and the fourth most passing touchdowns (19) in the NFL despite playing just eight games this season.
Honorable Mention: J.J. McCarthy, Minnesota Vikings vs Baltimore Ravens (48% Rostered)
In Week 9, J.J. McCarthy provided plenty of both good and bad in both real life and fantasy football. McCarthy completed just 56% of his passes for 143 yards, two touchdowns, and an interception. But he added nine carries for 12 yards and a touchdown. That was enough to score 19.9 fantasy points and secure a QB13 finish.
McCarthy has started three games this season and scored over 19.0 fantasy points in two of them. He will continue to go through growing pains this season, but having Justin Jefferson, Jordan Addison, and T.J. Hockenson at his disposal in the passing game will help mitigate that for fantasy.
J.J. McCarthy Advanced Stats & Metrics Profile
The Ravens’ defense has been better since the bye week, allowing just 16 points to the Chicago Bears and six points to the Miami Dolphins the last two weeks. However, it is hard to pin down if the defense is playing THAT much better or if they have just run into two inconsistent offenses in the last two weeks.
Even with those two strong performances, Baltimore is allowing 19.0 fantasy points to quarterbacks with 14 touchdowns and three interceptions this season. McCarthy has a chance to take advantage.
Running Back Streaming Options Week 10
Devin Singletary, New York Giants at Chicago Bears (19% Rostered)
Week 9 was the first game for the New York Giants without Cam Skattebo. Tyrone Tracy Jr. was the popular fantasy waiver option, but it was Devin Singletary who had the stronger performance in the box score.
Singletary led the backfield in snap share (56.1%), although that is partially because Tracy was dinged up during the game. The veteran running back also paced the backfield in carries (eight) and yards (43). More importantly, there was a clear split backfield with Singletary handling the early downs work and Tracy working more as a pass catcher.
The Giants’ Week 10 opponent, the Chicago Bears, has struggled against running backs this season. Their offense has also struggled with consistency this year, which could lead to a more neutral or positive game script for New York. Singletary has an opportunity to have a fantasy-relevant week if the Giants can keep pace with the Bears on the scoreboard.
Honorable Mention: Emari Demercado, Arizona Cardinals at Seattle Seahawks (18% Rostered)
Trey Benson is not ready to return from the injured reserve, so the Cardinals will once again run a split backfield in Week 10. The split went in Emari Demercado‘s favor in Week 9, as the veteran running back handled 14 carries for 79 yards (5.6 yards per carry) against the Cowboys.
Emari Demercado Advanced Stats & Metrics Profile
His matchup in Week 10 (Seattle) will be much more difficult, but Demercado has a chance to have more of an impact as a pass catcher in a negative game script. He caught two targets for 13 yards and a touchdown in his first matchup against Seattle in Week 4.
Wide Receiver Streaming Options Week 10
Christian Watson, Green Bay Packers vs Philadelphia Eagles (29% Rostered)
Christian Watson returned from the injured reserve in Week 8 and immediately had a role in Green Bay’s passing attack. In two games, Watson has earned eight targets, catching four passes for 143 yards. He is averaging 23.8 yards per reception on his eight targets.
Christian Watson Advanced Stats & Metrics Profile
Watson enters Week 10 surrounded by a banged-up pass-catching corps in Green Bay. Tucker Kraft is out for the season. Matthew Golden suffered a shoulder injury in Week 9 and has struggled with consistency this season. Jayden Reed is still out. Dontayvion Wicks returned to practice in Week 10 but is coming off a calf injury. The Packers will need Watson to contribute on Monday night.
The Eagles are not a great matchup for wide receivers this season, but Watson is the type of player who doesn’t need a ton of volume to have a big week in fantasy. Conversely, if he fails to convert on any of his downfield targets, he could also give a zero to fantasy managers. Expect Watson to get opportunities in this game, given the injuries around him, and hope that he converts on one or two of those targets to have a big week.
Deep Sleeper: Olamide Zaccheaus, Chicago Bears vs New York Giants (3% Rostered)
Olamide Zaccheaus has been a steady presence in Chicago’s passing attack, operating primarily from the slot. Over the last two weeks, that role has led to consistent fantasy production.
In Weeks 8 and 9, Zaccheaus caught 13 of 15 targets for 91 yards and a touchdown. He’s scored at least 10.0 fantasy points in two straight weeks, finishing as the WR14 in Week 9 (17.8 points).
His Week 10 opponent, the New York Giants, has struggled against slot receivers this season, allowing the fifth most yards (727) to slot receivers this year. They have also allowed the 10th most targets to slot receivers inside the 20 this season (13). Hopefully Zaccheaus can take advantage of this weakness with another solid outing.
Tight End Streaming Options Week 10
Cade Otton, Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs New England Patriots (35% Rostered)
From Weeks 5 to 8, Cade Otton averaged 6.3 targets, 5.0 receptions, and 59.3 receiving yards per game. During that time, he was the TE16 in PPR points per game, and he had three straight weeks with at least 10.0 fantasy points.
The Patriots are an exploitable defense against tight ends. They’ve allowed the seventh most targets (70), the ninth most receptions (52), the seventh most receiving yards (572), and the 12th most touchdowns (four) to tight ends this season. Otton is not an especially dynamic weapon, but he will earn targets for a Buccaneers passing attack missing key pieces.
Deep Sleeper: Isaiah Likely, Baltimore Ravens at Minnesota Vikings (6% Rostered)
The Baltimore Ravens made more of an effort to get Isaiah Likely involved in Week 9. Likely ran the fourth-most routes (13) on the team, which was one fewer than Mark Andrews. Likely finished second on the team in targets (four) and receiving yards (60). He also led the team in slot rate (76.9%).
Isaiah Likely Advanced Stats & Metrics Profile
The Minnesota Vikings have allowed the ninth most fantasy points per game to tight ends this season (9.1). With increasing usage, there’s a chance Likely will have a usable outing this week.
