10 Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Targets Heading Into Week 10
Peyton Barber is the top pickup this week. Who else should you target?

J.J. Nelson, WR, Arizona Cardinals

ESPN Ownership: 9.7%
Yahoo Ownership: 12%

With his bye week immediately after his breakout performance, J.J. Nelson remained on the waivers in many leagues heading into Week 9. Against the Carolina Panthers, he commanded a career-high 12 targets and converted them into 8 receptions for 79 yards and 2 scores. After this performance, head coach Bruce Arians said Nelson has earned the right to start moving forward.

With John Brown battling injuries for most of the season and Michael Floyd inexplicably performing so poorly in a contract year, Nelson can become the number-two receiver after Larry Fitzgerald in this offense.

He has blazing speed -- he ran a 4.28-second 40-yard dash at the 2015 combine -- and is dynamic once he gets his hands on the ball, as evidenced by his career 15.4 percent touchdown rate. If you’re in need of wide receiver help, Nelson is the top waiver option for Week 10.
