ANDY BEHRENS: You thought the buys had been bad to this point in the season, it's about to get so much worse. In week 10, no Chiefs, no Dolphins, no Eagles, no Rams. We're talking about top-3 and top-5 fantasy options out of the mix at every position. What a nightmare. Even the best fantasy teams. In fact, especially the best fantasy teams are going to need a boost from the waiver wire. So let's take a look at some early pickup options.
I think we have to start with Tank Dell. He, of course, broke out for the first time back in September, then he got mass added, and then he got dinged, and he got dropped. This sort of thing happens. Now he is back with a reminder of what a talented yards-after-catch specialist he can be. Great route runner.
He had a massive day, just like every other member of the Texans receiving corps in week 9. He turned 11 targets into 114 yards and a couple of touchdowns, including the late go-ahead score. Fantastic day from him. CJ Stroud, of course, had a historic day by rookie standards. You cannot leave Tank Dell unattached on the wire.
Also, we got to take a look at Keaton Mitchell. Finally, at long last, he was given a chance to show his game-breaking speed, and he did not disappoint. Mitchell is a rookie from East Carolina. He carried nine times for 138 yards, as the Ravens absolutely pummeled Seattle in week 9. Mitchell's not really a threat to Gus Edwards. He's an undersized back, but man, as a rotational player he can be really fun. And he can certainly be flex-worthy.
