Week 10 Waiver Wire Rankings - Fantasy Football Pickups Include Quentin Johnston, Jalen Tolbert, Ricky Pearsall, Ray Davis, Tyler Allgeier, Mike Gesicki

Ray-Ray McCloud III - Fantasy Football Rankings, Waiver Wire Pickups, Draft Sleepers

Fantasy football waiver wire rankings for Week 10 of the 2024 NFL season. Top free agent options to add off waivers, and our rankings will help you prioritize.

Week 10 will be here in a few days, and it's time to start bolstering those rosters for the fantasy football playoff push. At RotoBaller HQ, we are back with more waiver wire advice to help build those fantasy rosters with our Week 10 fantasy football waiver wire rankings for 2024. There were more crucial injuries in Week 9, with Dak Prescott (hamstring) and CeeDee Lamb (shoulder) dealing with injuries as their statuses for Week 10 are uncertain. A.J. Brown (knee) exited Sunday's game against the Jaguars early but avoided a severe injury. Zack Moss will miss the rest of the regular season with a neck injury.

The NFL deadline is Tuesday; we could see some players moved by then, which would either help or hinder their fantasy value. Week 9 left us with even more questions heading into Week 10. Is Quentin Johnston the Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert's top target after a breakout performance in Week 9? Has Ray Davis forced an RB committee in Buffalo after another strong game? Tyler Allgeier continues to see double-digit touches and is arguably the most valuable handcuff in fantasy. Does Allgeier have stand-alone fantasy value, and is he the top running back to add to fantasy football?

Our waiver wire rankings will help answer these questions -- they've been a staple in the fantasy industry for years, providing a quick-hit list of player names that goes deep into the free agent options each week. For those unfamiliar, one of the industry's sharpest fantasy football minds, Nick Mariano, brings you his weekly waiver wire rankings and priority adds for the top 60 potential options.

Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Outlooks

Some of the top names include Quentin Johnston, Jauan Jennings, Ricky Pearsall, Mike Gesicki, Ray Davis, and Tyler Allgeier. We recap why these players rostered under 55% in Yahoo! leagues should be on your radar when scrolling through the waiver wire for Week 10:

Tyler Allgeier, RB, Atlanta Falcons (40% Rostered)
Week 10 Waiver Wire Ranking: 3

Tyler Allgeier‘s standalone value has fluctuated during the regular season. However, Allgeier continues to function as a valuable handcuff for fantasy managers who have invested in Bijan Robinson.

Allgeier has secured a 30.1% snap share, which has risen to 34.8% since Week 4. Allgeier has also carried 74 times (8.2 per game), assembled 370 rushing yards (41.1 per game), and has averaged 5.0 yards per attempt since Week 1. 

Allgeier has also accumulated 17 attempts inside the red zone, while 42.9% of his carries have been accumulated inside the 5-yard line, according to Fantasy Points Data. Allgeier has also run 58 routes, collected all eight of his targets, and produced 57 yards as a receiving weapon.

That includes Allgeier’s usage and output when the Falcons hosted Dallas in Week 9. Allgeier played on 14 snaps, carried six times, generated 18 rushing yards, and produced his second touchdown of the season.

Allgeier has now carried 12+ times during two of his last five matchups while failing to exceed six attempts during the remaining contests. However, the addition of Allgeier supplies you with a potential flex option if you are besieged with roster issues. He will also launch into an extensive workload during any absence by Robinson and would deliver RB1 production if that transpires.

Ray Davis, RB, Buffalo Bills (21% Rostered)
Week 10 Waiver Wire Ranking: 9

James Cook continues to operate as the lead back for Buffalo. However, Ray Davis has become increasingly entrenched as the Bills’ RB2 since Week 6, which positions him to seize a sizable workload if Cook is unavailable for any reason.

Davis has secured a 34.4% snap share since Week 6 while accumulating 35 carries (8.8 per game) and 187 rushing yards (46.8 per game). He has also run 39 routes, collected all six of his targets, and generated 131 receiving yards.

That includes his numbers in Week 9, when Davis played on nine snaps, carried four times, and assembled 20 yards on the ground. Davis also ran three routes but accumulated a career-high 70 receiving yards and generated a 63-yard receiving touchdown.

Davis also performed effectively as Buffalo’s primary back in Week 6, when Cook was inactive due to a toe injury. Davis soared to third overall with a season-high 20 attempts, rose to eighth with a season-best 97 rushing yards, and finished 11th in rush percentage over expected (45) according to Next Gen Stats.

Davis is a valuable handcuff for anyone who has Cook contained on their rosters. All other managers can stash Davis this week, as he can provide RB2 production when he is functioning with an extensive workload.

Quentin Johnston, WR, Los Angeles Chargers (15% Rostered)
Week 10 Waiver Wire Ranking: 6

Quentin Johnston returned after missing the past two games with an ankle injury but returned with a bang, catching four of his five targets for 118 yards and a touchdown. That included a 66-yard touchdown.

The second-year wideout has played six games this season and has found the end zone four times in that span. While Ladd McConkey has established himself as the top receiver for the Chargers, a healthy Johnston provides a great complement there due to his scoring upside.

Jalen Tolbert, WR, Dallas Cowboys (23% Rostered)
Week 10 Waiver Wire Ranking: 12

Jalen Tolbert could have some appeal in Week 10 against the Eagles, depending on how the injury situation shakes out in Dallas. CeeDee Lamb suffered a shoulder injury this week, and Dak Prescott suffered a hamstring injury. If Lamb misses next week and Prescott doesn't, Tolbert could be in for a big game.

Tolbert was targeted six times this week, catching three of those passes for 19 yards and a score. He's a solid No. 2 receiver across from Lamb, but how he could look if pressed into being a No. 1 is a mystery.

Mike Gesicki, TE, Cincinnati Bengals (13% Rostered)
Week 10 Waiver Wire Ranking: 18

Mike Gesicki has always been a fantasy disappointment. He came out of college looking like a physical specimen that no linebacker or safety could cover, but other than back-to-back 700-yard years in 2020 and 2021, he has had as much fantasy impact as a WR5 or an RB6.

Now on his third team, Gesicki has finally found a team that can utilize his above-average talents and turn them into touchdowns. It helps to have Joe Burrow throwing him pinpoint passes in the perfect spots on the field. That is why Gesicki blessed his Bengals with five catches for 100 yards and two touchdowns against Las Vegas this past weekend.

Gesicki checks the boxes heading into Week 10. He has a Thursday night game against Baltimore’s 32nd-ranked pass defense. Check. His backup, Erick All Jr., suffered a knee injury that could be serious and keep him out of action for a while, which means Gesicki will get more time and targets.

Check. Gesicki is playing the best ball of his career and has the hottest QB in the NFL tossing missiles into his chest. Check. Gesicki is the top TE pickup this week, no doubt.
