The Playbook Releases Week 10 Fantasy Projections as Bills-Jets Leads at 57.4 Points

Q: Which overlooked waiver wire running back could secretly win your Week 10 fantasy matchup amid chaotic backfield injuries?

Corey Kiner is the overlooked waiver-wire running back most likely to swing a Week 10 fantasy matchup. The case is almost entirely injury-driven, but the opportunity is real. With Rhamondre Stevenson expected to miss multiple weeks and TreVeyon Henderson also ruled out, Kiner is set up to lead New England’s backfield against Detroit. Multiple Week 10 waiver reports point to him as the likely early-down and short-yardage back, with a realistic path to 15-plus carries. There is risk in full PPR because Lan Larison could handle more passing-down work, but Kiner’s profile still stands out. He has been efficient on limited work, averaging 4.9 yards per carry, and New England’s game with Detroit was projected as one of the week’s higher-scoring environments. That gives him a better touchdown chance than many emergency RB plays. He is also lightly rostered, which makes him the kind of late add who can decide a week when byes and injuries have thinned the position. Fantasy analysts repeatedly flagged him as a priority pickup, and some moved him into RB2 territory if both Patriots backs ahead of him remained out. If you miss on Kiner, Audric Estimé is the next-best under-the-radar option, especially if Travis Etienne stays sidelined. Kaleb Johnson also deserves attention if Josh Jacobs’ finger injury keeps him out. But among the truly overlooked Week 10 backs, Kiner has the clearest path to volume, and volume is what wins fantasy weeks.
