I called last week the worst running back waiver wire I could remember, and Week 10 isn't any better. The position has been awesome for Fantasy Football, and we've seen a low number of running back injuries, which is great. It should mean that you don't need running back help. I hope that's what it means because there isn't a great running back option on the board.
If that means you need to trade for a running back just for this week because of bye weeks, I would look for Kareem Hunt or Chuba Hubbard. They've both been huge assets over the past month, but they may also have expiration dates in the next month. Isiah Pacheco is aiming for a late November return, and we're expecting Jonathon Brooks to make his season debut in Week 10.
I'm still projecting and ranking Hubbard as a starter in Week 10 against the New York Giants. The Giants have allowed 5.1 yards per carry to running backs, the second-highest mark in the league. This also projects as one of Carolina's closest games of the year, so there should be plenty of rush volume.
I am still hopeful that Books becomes a starter in time for the Fantasy Football playoffs, and I am still holding him everywhere. But in Week 10, I would expect a limited role in his first live action in the NFL. He needs to hit a couple of big plays to take touches away from Hubbard.
Now, let's get to the rest of the Week 10 RB Preview:
Jaylen Warren is projected for 8.7 Fantasy points in Week 10. That makes him my RB31 for the week and the best option available off the waiver wire at this position. The Commanders have allowed a league-worst 5.2 yards per carry to running backs this season, and Warren has seen three targets in each of his last three games, so there is a path to double-digit points in full PPR.
Hill has a good matchup in what should be a high-scoring island game. You can probably expect somewhere around eight PPR Fantasy points if he doesn't get into the end zone.
Spears should be returning from injury soon, possibly as soon as Week 10. he had 17 touches in his last full game. If he can work back into a near 50/50 split with Tony Pollard, he could be a valuable flex down the stretch.
Kamara had 35 touches last week. I wouldn't expect that, but with Chris Olave likely out, I would expect Kamara to lead the Falcons in rush attempts and targets. He's my number one projected back of the week and the top option in cash games.
I would expect Hubbard's roster rate to be held down by the return of Jonathon Brooks. I do not expect Brooks will have a big impact on Hubbard's workload in the rookie's first game. He has at least 17 touches in eight straight games and a great matchup against the Giants.
