Welcome to week 10 of last-minute moves to make. This article is intended to give you late-week waiver and free-agent advice based on late-week news and gameday inactives. Injuries and other late-week developments can have a huge impact on lines and rosters, and being up-to-date on these, especially before waivers and free agency locks before kickoff, is a huge advantage.

Look Ahead

The NFL is going through a bye gauntlet, with Kansas City, Miami, Philadelphia, and the LA Rams all on byes in week 10. Week 11 will have Atlanta, Indianapolis, New England, and New Orleans all on byes before everyone plays week 12 (Thanksgiving). Now is a good time to think ahead on your byes. With everyone playing in week 12, be careful of holding onto backups who have a week 11 bye. If you do not play the player this week, then they have a bye and do not make your lineup in week 12, and you have lost 60% of the regular season on a player without any usability taking up a roster spot. Van Jefferson, Cordarrelle Patterson, and Foster Moreau are types of players who have been on rosters that fit this definition.
