Tight Ends

Darren Waller and Tommy Tremble - Carolina Panthers

Waller was rostered in just 9% of fantasy football leagues for Week 9, so he's available to most of you reading. Tremble was barely owned at all, so he's available to almost everyone.

Waller erupted for 90 yards and a touchdown across eight receptions and 10 targets in Week 9 against the Broncos. That was easily his best showing of the season, although he's had a couple decent fantasy outings.

Tremble finished Week 9 with 24 yards and a touchdown across four catches and six targets. He's mostly underwhelmed as a fantasy asset, but he's scored several points while finding the end zone three times.

Both guys are waiver wire/streaming options for Week 10 going into a favorable fantasy matchup against the Saints. There's a chance for each guy to factor in again, even with Tetairoa McMillan and Jalen Coker at wide receiver. 

Both are better deep-league fantasy options, but there is some standard league streaming appeal with Waller on a week where four teams are on byes. Tremble has some deep-league streaming appeal, especially if you are in a pinch at TE.

AJ Barner - Seattle Seahawks

Barner sat at about 9% rostered for Week 9.

Barner tallied just two catches for seven yards across his four targets, but he caught a touchdown to score some fantasy points in Week 9. He added three rushing yards and a score on three attempts to deliver a really good fantasy showing.

He's mostly underwhelmed this season, but he's at least been somewhat involved, and that makes him a fantasy option every week. Barner has a really favorable matchup coming against the Raiders, so he is a streaming option for Week 10.

Barner is definitely a more confident starting option in deeper leagues, but he's also a standard league streaming option. Maybe you get lucky and he finds the end zone a couple of times again.

Chig Okonkwo - Washington Commanders

Okonkwo was owned in roughly 22% of leagues for this past week.

Okonkwo finished with 57 yards on six receptions and seven targets in Week 9 against the Rams. He's been pretty involved this season, and more so over the past four games, tallying at least 32 yards in each contest, while getting at least four targets.

He's yet to find the end zone, but on a Washington team looking for pass catchers to step up with wideout Terry McLaurin out, there's a chance Okonkwo remains involved the rest of the season. Even without a touchdown, he's put together some solid fantasy performances of late.

Another could be coming in Week 10, but he has a tougher matchup against the Giants on Thursday night. We've seen this matchup already, with the teams tying a few weeks ago. Okonkwo finished with 60 yards on four catches and six targets, which is more than enough production to possibly add him for Week 10.

He's another tight end who is a more confident starting option in deeper leagues, but he offers standard league streaming upside too. If you are in need of a fantasy TE, see if Okonkwo is available.

Quarterbacks

Drew Lock - Seattle Seahawks

Lock was rostered in about 17% of leagues for his Week 9 start. That should go up as he gets ready to make a Week 10 start.

Sam Darnold is expected to miss another week, so it will be Lock starting against the Raiders. That's a stellar matchup, so Lock could be primed for a sneaky-good fantasy showing. Be monitoring his status too though, as he got banged up in Week 9.

Lock had 175 passing yards and a touchdown on 19-of-28 passing in Week 9 against the Cardinals. He added 16 rushing yards on five attempts and avoided any turnovers.

He has starting experience over his career, so he's not the typical backup. Throw in a good matchup and Lock could really come through for fantasy owners in Week 10. Consider him heavily in deeper leagues, and possibly even in standard leagues depending on your other available options.

J.J. McCarthy - New York Giants

McCarthy was rostered in roughly 39% of leagues for this past week.

He was 12-of-19 passing for 127 yards, and he didn't have a touchdown or interception. McCarthy ran for 22 yards on four attempts. He too battled an injury, so his status is one to watch going into Week 10.

McCarthy will have to bounce back quickly, as the Giants play the Commanders on Thursday night. That's a very favorable fantasy matchup on paper, so that sets the quarterback up pretty well.

He's a more confident starting option in deeper leagues as well, but he has some standard league streaming appeal. I think you could do better in a standard league though, so only try McCarthy in a pinch.

Aaron Rodgers - Pittsburgh Steelers

Rodgers was sitting at about 40% owned as his team had its bye in Week 9.

He's been a surprisingly good fantasy asset this season. Rodgers has completed just 60.8% of his passes, but for 1,871 yards (233.9 per game), 13 touchdowns and just six interceptions. He's not added much on the ground.

Rodgers will battle the Bengals for a second time this season. It's a slightly-below average matchup, but the veteran QB fared well against them in the first matchup. He was 19-of-34 for 292 yards, three touchdowns and one interception.

There's a chance Rodgers delivers again this week, especially coming off a bye. He is a pretty good option in all leagues, and should be starting in most deeper leagues.
