ET, Nov. 11 Tyreek Hill , WR, Dolphins (wrist) — Active According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, Tyreek Hill will be active for Monday Night Football. Teammate Jaylen Waddle looks to bounce back after a two-reception, negative four-yard showing in Week 9.
Week 10 fantasy football flex fliers Scott Engel’s weekly guide to last-minute free agent additions. Xavier Legette , WR, CAR (59 percent): The Panthers traded away two WRs recently, clearing a path for Legette to operate as the team’s new No. 1 WR.
The Giants rank 24th in fantasy points per game (FPPG) allowed to WRs. Bryce Young is starting to show some signs of improvement, and Legette will post at least adequate fantasy totals with a healthy amount of targets. He has caught TD passes in three of his past four games.
Audric Estime , RB, DEN (12 percent): The Broncos need to make a change at RB, as Javonte Williams is averaging 3.8 yards per carry and Bo Nix leads the team with four rushing TDs. There has been much local buzz in Denver that it is time to give this rookie a chance to add life to a sagging ground game.
Estime was drafted in the fifth round by the Broncos this year, yet he has been described as a power back with some speed who can help balance the offense. Usually I feature plug-and-play types in this space, but I want to get readers ahead of the pack if Estime is still available in their leagues. Pick up the 5-foot-11, 227-pounder now, and watch to see if his role expands as soon as this week.
The Chiefs present an obviously tough matchup, and this entry is more about taking advantage of others overlooking Estime on the initial waiver run. — Engel Jake Ciely’s Week 10 fantasy football player rankings Find out Jake’s top QB, RB, WR and TE for the week!

Los Angeles Rams (4-4) Monday night’s matchup features two teams that struggled early in the season due to injuries but are making their way back to better play. The return of Cooper Kupp and Puka Nacua , two every-week fantasy starters, gave Matthew Stafford the targets he needed to win games. Now on a three-game winning streak, the Rams are back in the NFL playoff picture.
Advertisement With injuries to the wide receiver corps, Kyren Williams took over and is fantasy’s RB7 with 18.7 PPR points per game. While he’s certainly helping fantasy teams, the Rams rank 26th in rushing yards per game (97.
13), and Williams’ success has been supplemented by his receiving skills and 10 total touchdowns. The Dolphins have lost their previous two games on last-second field goals and are looking to get rolling with Tua Tagovailoa back in the lineup. Tyreek Hill had his second-best performance of the year in Week 9 with 80 yards on four receptions and five targets.
On the other hand, Jaylen Waddle hopes to never see last week’s stat sheet again, as he had two catches for negative two yards. Tagovailoa’s presence will surely help, though. He ranks fourth in the league in EPA per dropback and first in tight-window completion percentage.
But De’Von Achane has provided the most consistency for this team and is fantasy’s RB9 in PPR points per game. As of Thursday morning, Los Angeles was favored but by a very small margin. The Dolphins have had bad luck this season, but they have the talent to turn it around at any point, unlike most of the other NFL teams with 2-6 records.
