Emanuel Wilson, RB, Packers (Priority: Very High)
Emanuel Wilson saw the entire workload once Josh Jacobs hurt his knee. He’s a must-add, so unload your FAAB if Jacobs is projected to be sidelined.
Sean Tucker, RB, Buccaneers (Priority: High)
There’s no denying the talent of Sean Tucker, who has surpassed Rachaad White. The only issue here is that Bucky Irving could be back at any moment.
Alec Pierce, WR, Colts (Priority: Medium)
Alec Pierce has become much more than an inconsistent deep threat. Keep in mind that the Colts are heading into a bye if you think you’re getting someone for Week 11.
Michael Wilson, WR, Cardinals (Priority: Medium)
Michael Wilson had a monster day. With Marvin Harrison Jr. out for a bit, Wilson could have some solid performances.
Tez Johnson, WR, Buccaneers (Priority: Low)
Tez Johnson scored two touchdowns against the Patriots. Baker Mayfield seems to favor Johnson in the end zone, but Chris Godwin’s eventual return could ruin things.
With most trade deadlines expired, buy low players will return next year.

Mack Hollins, WR, Patriots
Mack Hollins has had too many dud performances to warrant consideration, though that would change if Kayshon Boutte is out for an extended period of time.
Jalen Nailor, WR, Vikings
No need to add Jalen Nailor after his big game a week ago. This was a fluke, as he saw way fewer targets than Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison.
Nick Chubb, RB, Texans
Nick Chubb was given just three carries against the Titans.
Jacory Croskey-Merritt, RB, Redskins
Jacory Croskey-Merritt had just nine carries in the exhibition match in Spain.
Chuba Hubbard, RB, Panthers
Chuba Hubbard is barely touching the ball anymore, so he can safely be dropped.
Cooper Kupp, WR, Seahawks
Cooper Kupp is somehow still owned in 57 percent of ESPN leagues. Why!?
