Kaleb Johnson - Green Bay Packers
Johnson was rostered in less than 1% of fantasy leagues going into Week 9. He produced well and has a couple of things working in his favor, so he'll rise significantly before Week 10.
He got a season-high 14 rushing attempts in the Packers' blowout win over the Patriots. Johnson rushed for 68 yards and a touchdown, while not being targeted in the passing game.

Another thing working in Johnson's favor is that Josh Jacobs got hurt in that contest. If Jacobs misses any time, or is even limited with his snaps, Johnson could play enough and get enough work to have fantasy appeal.
He's worth at least deep-league adds before Week 10, and could become a standard league pickup if Jacobs is expected to miss time. Keep close tabs on the injury and be ready to add Johnson and utilize him in a bunch of leagues going forward.
Corey Kiner - New England Patriots
Kiner was owned in just 8% of leagues coming into Week 9. He'll rise a good deal before Week 10 kicks off.
He's in a similar situation to Johnson, as he fared well in Week 9 and had an injury around him. Kiner rushed for 55 yards and a touchdown over eight attempts, while not being targeted in the passing game. Starter Rhamondre Stevenson also got hurt, so Kiner's role could rise going forward.
TreVeyon Henderson was also out in Week 9, so his status is one to watch as well. Kiner still could have a bigger role if either Stevenson or Henderson are active.
Again though, we have a player who is an intriguing waiver wire possibility. Kiner is worth some deep-league adds today, and could become an even bigger pickup if Stevenson and/or Henderson miss time going forward.
Seth McGowan - Indianapolis Colts
McGowan sat at 52% going into Week 9. He remains a speculative add as the Colts are listening to trade offers on Jonathan Taylor.
McGowan also fared pretty well in Week 9, carrying the ball six times for 45 yards and a touchdown. He had a catch that went backward three yards on his lone target.
His role could skyrocket if Taylor is traded this week, so he's another one to keep tabs on. McGowan should be added in all deeper leagues before Taylor is possibly traded, and he could be added in all leagues if Taylor is indeed dealt.
The Colts' offense is lackluster, so McGowan would still likely top out as a flex-level option even if he becomes RB1. DJ Giddens is another RB to keep tabs on if Taylor is dealt away.
Audric Estime - New Orleans Saints
Estime jumped to about 17% owned for Week 9, and he could rise quite a bit more before Week 10.
He was claimed off waivers by New Orleans earlier in the week, then went off while serving as the team's starter in Week 9. Estime rushed 15 times for 72 yards and a touchdown, plus caught his lone target for five yards.
Estime played 35 offensive snaps, which was just 46.7% of the team's total. He could stick in a decent role in New Orleans now that the team released Kendre Miller. Alvin Kamara is the only other proven back on the roster.
Estime is worth adding in all deeper leagues after what he did in Week 9. He will also be an option in standard leagues in the right matchups, especially for those desperate for RB help.
Devin Singletary - New York Giants
Singletary was another big riser before Week 9. He was at 78% rostered, and he could rise even more now.
Singletary was the lead back for New York this week, and he logged 23 touches, so that was a good sign. He rushed 21 times for 31 yards and also caught two of his three targets for eight more yards.
So while the touches were high, his production lacked. If he sticks in the lead role though, there's some fantasy appeal for sure with Singletary.
I wouldn't add him in too many more leagues until we know the status of Cam Skattebo and the Giants' backfield in general. If Skattebo is out again in Week 10, then Singletary could be added and started in a bunch of leagues.
Justice Hill - Baltimore Ravens
Hill was owned in 11% of leagues before Week 9. He put together a big game on Thursday, so he's worth considering as a waiver wire add before Week 10.
He got nine carries, gaining 85 yards and a touchdown - he had a 65-yard TD run for most of that production. Hill also caught all three of his targets for seven more yards.
He hasn't done much else this season while serving as RB2 in Baltimore behind Derrick Henry. I don't see much changing going forward, especially after the Ravens traded for Jacoby Brissett and appear to still be going for it.
Hill is still worth some deep-league adds, especially for favorable matchups coming up. He'd only be a standard league add if Henry is ever out.
