Post-waiver wire fantasy football pickups for Week 10

It’s never too late to improve your fantasy roster. These players went mostly unnoticed during the waiver period, but each could help win your Week 10 matchup.

QB: Daniel Jones (New York Giants)

The last time we recommended Jones to readers, he scored 12.08 fantasy points against the Bengals in Week 6. That’s not good, but his Week 9 numbers certainly were.

Jones had a much better day against the Commanders, going 20-26 for 174 yards and two touchdowns with another 54 yards and a score on the ground. His 24.36 fantasy points were a season-high and fifth-most among quarterbacks.

This week, the Giants travel to Munich, Germany, to face Carolina. The Panthers won their second game of the year by upsetting the Saints last week but still allow the most yards (391.9) and points (32.6) per game.

They also allow the sixth-most fantasy points per contest to quarterbacks (19.61), and with even more generous opponents like Dallas and Tampa Bay on tap after Carolina, Jones suddenly has legitimate fantasy value.

Jones is available in 80% of Yahoo leagues.

TE: Theo Johnson (New York Giants)

As bad as the Panthers are against quarterbacks, they’re even worse against tight ends, giving up a league-worst 17.72 points per game to the position. Johnson hasn’t hit that number yet, but the rookie had the best game of his young career with 14.10 fantasy points after three catches for 51 yards and a touchdown last week.
