The 2025 season is upon us. Are you ready? Hopefully, you’re in for a winning campaign. But those of us who play Dynasty know it’s a 365-day-a-year endeavor. So, this is the time to make pickups and stashes that could pay off this season. Week 10 is in the books. Below are some players worth seeking out moving forward. All roster percentages courtesy of Sleeper.
Quarterbacks:
Tyrod Taylor, New York Jets
Roster Percentage: 2
About: Yes, the Jets won in Week 10. And it’s a short week, so the team may not want to make changes. But Justin Fields’ grasp on the job is tenuous at best. And he threw for just 54 yards Sunday. This team needs more, and Taylor might be able to provide it.
Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston, New York Giants
Roster Percentage: 4; 2
About: Jaxon Dart was lost with a concussion on Sunday. The Giants are 2-7 and not going anywhere. The team also just fired coach Brian Daboll. We’ve seen a concussion take a player out the following week, especially in the case of a quarterback. I suspect that might be the case with Dart. The question is who starts in his place. Wilson got the call on Sunday, but I think Winston might get the start. Either is worth a stash if you’re in need.
Running Backs
Chris Rodriguez, Jr., Washington Commanders
Roster Percentage: 20
About: Running back is beyond thin on the waiver wire. I’m looking at a couple of players this week that might be a reach. The first is Rodriguez. He’s getting run, and he’s even gotten some touchdowns, including Sunday. The Commanders’ backfield and offense in general are a mess. So, if you’re desperate, Rodriguez is a YOLO pick-up.
George Holani, Seattle Seahawks
Roster Percentage: 0
About: The Seahawks currently have two running backs who are mostly rostered, and you don’t feel good playing them. Why not add a third? Holani got seven carries Sunday, adding a rushing touchdown. It’s not much, and he might be more of a future speculative add, but he’s a guy you could think about grabbing.
Wide Receivers
Mack Hollins and Kyle Williams, New England Patriots
Roster Percentage: 2; 7
About: With Kayshon Boutte hurting and a short week, the Patriots could again turn to this duo at receiver. Hollins went for more than 100 yards Sunday, while Williams had a huge play for a touchdown. Both are potential flex options worth of a pickup in a juicy matchup against a middling defense.
Tyler Lockett, Las Vegas Raiders
Roster Percentage: 5
About: Lockett’s move to Tennessee didn’t pan out. But he asked for and was granted his release. With the Raiders, he lands with his former quarterback, Geno Smith, and Head Coach, Pete Carroll. He brings a veteran presence to the lineup now that Jakobi Myers has moved on. Lockett led the Raiders in targets and receptions in Week 10. He’s worth a pickup.
