Executing the waiver wire in fantasy football is what will separate the champions from the chumps. Here are some players you should target in Week 10.

In most leagues, there’s only four weeks left in the fantasy football regular season. After that, either you’re in the playoffs or your pathetic season is over. So who are the players who can help owners this week and who are the players owners can stash for playoff time?

To the waiver wire wire we go.

For these purposes, we will being using ESPN Fantasy Football as a guideline. Any player that is 50 percent owned or less is eligible.

5. Robert Woods, WR, Los Angeles Rams (26.3 percent owned)

Going into Week 9, Robert Woods went three-straight games with five receptions. In Week 10, that streak ended because he only came down with four receptions. However, those four receptions went for 70 yards and 2 touchdowns. Woods is now averaging 14+ PPR points over his last four games. He gets a great matchup against the Houston Texans in Week 10.

4. Robby Anderson, WR, New York Jets (45.7 percent owned)

This will probably be the last week Anderson will be on the “Waiver Wire Targets” because after last week, he’s now the 21st PPR wide receiver. He has four-straight games with 11.6+ PPR fantasy points and three-straight games with a touchdown. He could easily make it four-straight games with a touchdown with a struggling Buccaneers team coming up in Week 10.

3. Orleans Darkwa, RB, New York Giants (41.3 percent owned)

2. Damien Williams, RB, Miami Dolphins (23.8 percent owned)

In the Dolphins first game without Jay Ajayi, Williams got the start and finished with 13 touches, 61 total yards and one touchdown. His work in the passing game is a big plus in PPR leagues (6 receptions in Week 9) and he should remain as the Dolphins receiving back for the remainder of the season. With this team likely to trail in most of their remaining games this season, Williams is a threat for, 4+ receptions every week.

1. Dion Lewis, RB, New England Patriots (36.3 percent owned)

Lewis might be a forgotten man in some leagues because he didn’t score a single fantasy football point last week. Yet, that’s not his fault because the Patriots were on a bye-week. Remember, over the Patriots last three games he has averaged 14 touches, 63 yards and 9.3 PPR points. If he can continue to get about 14 touches in the Patriots explosive offense, he’ll be a threat for a big game every week.

Others Receiving Votes

Jared Goff, QB, Los Angeles Rams (48.8 percent owned) – Goff went off last week with 311 passing yards and four touchdowns. He gets another opportunity for a big game in Week 10 against the Houston Texans.

Josh McCown, QB, New York Jets (35.9 percent owned) – Get this: McCown goes into Week 10 as the 10th-best fantasy football quarterback. He could blow-up once again in Week 10 with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers looking like they gave up on the season.

Marlon Mack, RB, Indianapolis Colts (36.3 percent owned) – Mack didn’t have a good fantasy outing last week (2.9 points) but he did manage to finish with nine touches. He now has nine-or-more touches in three-straight games.

Danny Woodhead, RB, Baltimore Ravens (24.4 percent owned) – He’ll be back in Week 11. PPR owners need to scoop this guy up.

Martavis Bryant, WR, Pittsburgh Steelers (43.8 percent owned) – After being deactivated last week, he’s back with the team. There’s always a chance this athletic-freak turns it on from here on out. Stash him if you have the bench space.

Marqise Lee, WR, Jacksonville Jaguars (34.7 percent owned) – Last week, Lee finished with eight receptions, 75 yards and one touchdown. It’s his third-straight game with 11.2+ PPR points.

Corey Davis, WR, Tennessee Titans (32.5 percent owned) – He didn’t do much in his first game back from injury (two receptions, 28 yards) but there’s always a chance this kid does some damage now that he’s healthy.

Greg Olsen, TE, Carolina Panthers (44.0 percent owned) – He’ll back in Week 11 and will immediately be viewed as a top-five fantasy tight end.
