Trashman’s Garbage Grab: Week 10

Your lineup stinks — and that’s okay. The Trashman’s here to Febreze your roster with a few shiny scraps from fantasy’s junkyard. Let’s get grimy.

Running Back

Emari Demercado, Cardinals – 32% rostered
It was Demercado, not Bam Knight, who led the Cardinals in rushing in WK9. Trey Benson will be back at some point soon, but it makes sense to ride the hot hand in the Cardinals’ backfield until the wheels fall off. 

Bhaysul Tuten, Jaguars – 32% rostered
Tuten is coming off of his highest rush total(9) in WK9, and though the yardage wasn’t significant, he did find the endzone. His upside isn’t high against Houston this week, but it is easier to find running room against them than it is to gain yards through the air. 

Wide Receiver

DeMario Douglas, Patriots – 11% rostered
Douglas led the Patriots in receiving last week when Kayshon Boutte went down, going for 100-yards and a score. He’ll get the opportunity to shine again this week in what could be a shootout with Tampa, as Boutte will sit once again. 

Olamide Zaccheaus, Bears – 4% rostered
The journeyman, Zaccheaus always finds targets wherever he lands. With at least 6 targets in 3 of his last 4 games, and his highest yardage total(58) in WK9, Zaccheaus is in line to find more room against the Giants this week. 

Tez Johnson, Buccaneers  – 32% rostered
Johnson has scored in 2 of his last 3 games as the no.2 behind Emeka Egbuka in Tampa. He’ll look to keep rolling in a middling matchup with the Patriots secondary. 

Tight End

Dalton Schultz, Texans – 33% rostered

Schultz might just be Houston’s most consistent option in the passing game. He’s yet to score, but he’s had double-digit fantasy points in 2 of his last 3 games. He’ll get his best matchup yet this season against the bottom of the barrel Dolphins this week. 

Quarterback

Michael Penix, Falcons – 22% rostered
Penix is coming off of his best game in 2025, throwing for over 220 yards and 3 TDs. With Bijan Robinson and Drake London at his disposal, Penix has found an unstoppable 1-2 punch that he can rely on to move the offense down the field.
