PRO Week 10 Waiver Wire Cheat Sheet Now Available

Byron BylineBuilding a championship-caliber fantasy roster requires basic weekly waiver-wire management. We’ve created the Waiver Wire Cheat Sheet so that in a just a few minutes a week, our users can make the same expert waiver maneuvers we personally make in our own leagues, throughout the season.

Whether you play in a standard waiver claim format, or in a free-agent bidding system – we’ve got you covered. Read the chart top to bottom, and use it like the Draft Cheat Sheet. It’s not mandatory to go after the very top pick up every single week – use some basic discretion. Insane value can be cultivated through the bottom of the Waiver Wire Cheat Sheet over the course of the season.

All players listed on the WWCS are currently on the waiver wire in at least 50% of fantasy leagues across all major formats.

*Our advice is to recycle an average of 1-2 players per week from the bottom of your roster into hot waiver-wire pickups for the current week. This can be accomplished via waivers, or on the cheap as free-agent pickups post-waiver period .

    Would you drop Prosise for Ivory or Perkins?

    1. ↓ Post By Byron Lambert

      We would likely drop him for guys higher on the sheet- you should look at upcoming schedules – also consider whether you want to burn FA budget or waiver priority

    RBs are: C Mike, Crowell, McCoy, Gillislee and Rawls.
    WRs are: OBJ, C Coleman, Amari, Crowder, Coates and JJ Nelson.

    I’m concerned about the RB situation moving forward. I want to pick up Perkins or Ivory but don’t know who to drop. Any suggestions? Is it even worth picking up Perkins at this point? 10 team ppr. Currently tied for 1st (thanks to RW!)

    1. ↓ Post By Byron Lambert

      Yeah, we’d drop Coates and not lose any sleep over it

    Would you drop Prosise for Bibbs?

    1. ↓ Post By Byron Lambert

      no

  4. ↓ Post By gutsman004

    Would you drop Perkins for Kelley(doubt I’ll get him anyway) or just stand pat. Leaning towards the latter. Had to drop Kelley last week due to needing to get several bye week player fill ins.

    1. ↓ Post By Byron Lambert

      depends on what you’e looking to accomplish- stash or a play this week? I still lean PP

  5. ↓ Post By gutsman004

    Also is Jacquizz Rogers now droppable or hold until more is known about Martin?

  6. ↓ Post By dsingh

    PPR: Choose 3 WR – Ty. Williams, Corey Coleman, JJ. Nelson, Meredith and Coates.
    Choose 1 RB: Booker, Kelley, Perkins, Prosise

    1. ↓ Post By Byron Lambert

      Twill, CC, Meredith

    are we ready to drop maclin for kenny britt ROS? Quick is there too but you’d go britt before quick right? for what its worth i have ware, chiefs d, and cairo santos, so im not overly eager to hold on to anymore chiefies… doing pretty good at 8-1…. but always gotta stay on the grind right?

    zeke and demarco
    AJ Green and Cooks

    then flexwise –
    j howard, spencer ware, t coleman, d henry
    maclin, davante adams, corey coleman.

    1. ↓ Post By Byron Lambert

      Yes we’d make that switch

      yes- stay on grind all the way through finish line

    12 Team Standard (Record: 3-6)

    [1] QB: Rivers
    [2] WR: Hopkins, K. Benjamin (Cooper, M. Thomas, C. Coleman)
    [2] RB: Miller, Ajayi (Crowell, Henry)
    [1] TE: Rudolph
    [1] W/R/T: Howard
    Bench total: (5)

    Another tough loss this week as I’m proudly leading the league in points against! Think this team is good enough to win out ROS and hopefully make playoffs at 6-6? Or can you name some players I should go after in a trade before the deadline and which players should I try packaging for a big difference maker? I already know Zeke isn’t available for trade and FYI my league is pretty stingy when it comes to trades to the more ideas the better!

    1. ↓ Post By renourka

      Oops IF I win out then I’d be 7-6* but I’ve still got my work cut out for me…

      1. ↓ Post By Byron Lambert

        Go after LeVeon Bell

        1. ↓ Post By renourka

          Yeah actually I was already looking at the Bell owner who also has David Johnson… so maybe offer Hopkins + any of my RBs for Bell? Or a different offer? With Cooper on bye, I kind of need Hopkins this week so I might need a WR back in return or just start Thomas @DEN or Coleman @BAL this week instead? The dude is 2-7 and says his WRs are killing him as his team looks like this:

          [1] QB: Brees
          [2] WR: Sanders, Smith Sr. (Ty. WIlliams, Maclin, Cobb, Coates)
          [2] RB: Bell, Johnson (Matt Jones)
          [1] TE: Barnidge
          [1] W/R/T: Booker
          Bench total: (5)

          Thanks in advance!

    I’m holding Eifert and Delanie in a full point PPR, can i play both (TE and Flex) this week with Moncrief on bye? other options would be sammie coates or james white as the flex. Upside is needed…

    1. ↓ Post By Trashman

      i’m doing that exact thing in one of my leagues

  10. ↓ Post By Sushi

    Worth dropping D Henry for Dion Lewis?

    1. ↓ Post By Sushi

      Or D Henry for Paul Perkins?

    2. ↓ Post By Trashman

      only if you’re not a murray owner

  11. ↓ Post By fragglerock

    What’s going on with the site rankings? Since yesterday, it’s only showing the WR position tab for me.

  12. ↓ Post By beardown515

    Do you think i should drop Rawls for Perkins or Kelley? I have Gordon, Ajayi, Freeman and Ivory so am currently looking at a Ajayi, Ivory Week 11 and not sure if that will be good enough with Detroit coming off a bye to play Jax wk 11.

    1. ↓ Post By Trashman

      nope, rawls could get his job back witht he way the backfield is struggling

  13. ↓ Post By xraytakr

    Would you drop C Coleman for R Matthews in a half point ppr? I do also have Walker and Mariota.

  14. ↓ Post By rw-Dd6bhaAT6

    Drop Meredith for which of John Brown, JJ Nelson or Rishard Matthews?

    1. ↓ Post By Trashman

      i like matthews, nelson, and brown in that order.

  15. ↓ Post By rw-gW2CQ6aQ0

    Would you drop any of the following for Brian Quick?

    CJ Prosise
    Tyreek Hill
    DuJuan Harris
    James Starks
    Travis Benjamin
    Peyton Barber

    Season long standard I’m 9-0. My RB’s are DJ, Murray, Ajayi and Blount. Do you recommend any handcuffs I should pickup?

    Half PPR 12 team
    Trade Offer
    I get Russell Wilson and Demaryius Thomas
    I Give Up Andrew Luck

    Current WR- Julio and J Laundry- bad bench
    Current RB- Demarco, Melvin Gordon, Doug Martin and J Rodgers.

    Thoughts on trade?

    1. ↓ Post By Trashman

      i like it. Wilson is healthy

    Wanna thank you fellas for the assist in rejecting a trade offer last week of Carr + Gio for our beloved Mike Evans. It’s a deep 12-team keeper league (.5 ppr + .5 rush 1st downs) so I’d like to figure out a way to get those two on my squad w/o jumping the shark this year. I’m in 1st place at 6-3 but we go thru wk 17, at which pt. the top 6 redraft for the playoffs. Here are the teams:

    Us
    QB – Big Ben, Kaep (who I can keep or trade in for Cutler)
    RB – DMurray, LMiller, Crow, Duke, Hightower, DeAndre W.
    WR – Evans, Dez, Tyrell, JJ Nelson, Coates, TBenjamin (K. White on IR) (I could add Rishard M for T Benjamin)
    TE – DWalker, Ebron
    DST – Vikes

    Them
    QB – Ryan, Carr
    RB – Gurley, Bernard, Asiata, Blount, RMathews
    WR – Jordy, Cooks, Stills, LaFell, DParker, MFloyd
    TE – Olsen
    DST – Chiefs, Ravens

    I can’t keep Evans next yr but no way do I part with him this yr. Can’t keep Dez or Lamar either. So…Thinking of something like Dez + Duke for Carr + Gio, or Lamar + TBenjamin for Carr + Gio. Thoughts or other ideas? Thx.

    1. ↓ Post By fitzmen5830

      We can start 1 qb, 2 rb, 2 wr, 1 te, 1 rb-wr-te, 1 k, 1 dst each week.

    FYI – as it stands, your rankings between PPR/Standard leagues do not change at the moment. The ECR ranking changes, but your rankings are identical whether PPR or Standard league.

    Standard scoring and 5-4 after a bad start. I’m ROS planning and thinking about dropping C Michael (I don’t think his brief success will continue) for either an addition at WR, RB and maybe even QB. My current team:
    QB Carr/Winston
    RB Zeke/Bell/T Coleman/Gio/Michael
    WR Cooper/Moncrief/Baldwin/TyWill/C Coleman

    Available on wire:
    WR JJ Nelson & Watkins
    RB Hightower/Ivory/Perkins/Prosise/D Lewis
    QB Taylor (looking good and has favorable ROS matchups…if Watkins returns, even better outlook )

    After reviewing ROS matchups on all available players my gut is leaning towards dropping Michael now for Taylor, Hightower or Watkins. Nelson and Ivory are also appealing.

    Should I make a move? Drop Michael and/or another? Worth picking up Taylor w/o dropping a QB or stick with a WR or even RB? Thanks for all of your advice and abundance of research through the season.

    Zach Ertz just appeared on waivers. Do I drop Julius Thomas (current TE) or Jacquizz Rodgers?

  23. ↓ Post By greghockey17

    Ppr league- walker or eifert ros? And would you drop Corey Coleman for Rishard Mathews this week? Walker is my te If that matters. Thank you.

  24. ↓ Post By rw-yvLqkjrsx

    I have Kapernick, bottles and cousins. Flacco is on the waiver wire.

    What would you do?
    Who do you like for the rest of the season?
    If Flacco, then drop Kapernick or Bortles?

    thank you.

  25. ↓ Post By Shakey

    Would you trade Alan Robinson for Jordan Howard — I have m. evans, j. jones and m thomas & montcrief
    RBs Forte, michaels and asiata — Seemed like a no-brainer to me. Did I get it wrong?

  26. ↓ Post By AllabouttheTD

    Thanks

    Eric Ebron is available in my league but not on your waiver wire cheat sheet. Where would he be ranked on the list of TE’s you have on your waiver wire list?
    Thanks!

    This is my starting lineup at the moment w/ Lamar Miller, Jimmy Graham, Gio Bernard, etc. on my bench in a 1pt PPR league. I’m currently 8-2 but want to see if there you thought there might be some sell high opportunity on my team to bolster for the playoffs. Thanks for the help!

    QB – Matt Ryan
    RB1 – David Johnson
    RB2 – Lev Bell
    WR1 – Mike Evans
    WR2 – Jordy Nelson
    TE – Gronk
    Flex – TY Hilton
    KC defense
    K -Justin Tucker

    1/2 PPR League. Currently 8-2 and want to get ready for the playoffs. Im tired of Carlos Hyde and wanted to see what I could get out of him.

    QB: Matt Ryan/Blake Bortles
    RB: Ezekiel Elliot/Carlos Hyde/DuJuan Harris
    WR: Amari Cooper/Brandin Cooks/Steve Smith Sr./ Cameron Meredith/Anquan Boldin/J.J. Nelson/Kenny Stills/Tyreek Hill
    TE: Delanie Walker
    K: Justin Tucker
    D/ST: Texans (going to drop them for someone else)

    Steve Smith Sr. and Hyde for Ryan Matthews or should I try and target someone else? Any recommendations?

    1. ↓ Post By Trashman

      that’s too much for mathews. historically, he’s been more injury prone than hyde. riddick could be a low cost target worth tryng for in ppr. i’d see if i could unload one of your wrs before ditching hyde though.

  31. ↓ Post By rw-cwAIR1x2P

    Would you trade Jordy, Jimmy G, and Matt Ryan for Doug Baldwin, Delanie Walker, and Russell Wilson? I’m 8-2 in my league (full pt PPR)… I was looking at the schedule for Jordy upcoming and it’s not the greatest down the playoff stretch.

  32. ↓ Post By Mickey

    Waiver wire list for WR’s – is Enunwa above all of these guys? He’s likely not on the list because his ownership % is too high.

  33. ↓ Post By Spinman

    Standard – Hopkins or K Benjamin?
