Rachaad White, RB, Tampa Bay Buccaneers: I’ve been talking about him for weeks, and yet, he’s still available in more than 50 percent of Yahoo leagues and 75 percent of ESPN leagues. The unfortunate news is that the Bucs are on a bye in Week 11 and Leonard Fournette left with an injury against the Seahawks. But it was White who took the first play from scrimmage and had his first 100-yard game as a pro. White needs to be rostered in all leagues.
Jaylen Warren, RB, Pittsburgh Steelers: Another staple to this piece in recent weeks, and the Steelers weren’t shy about saying he should get more touches. Warren touched the ball a career-high 12 times against the Saints, which still trailed Najee Harris’ 20, but it’s clear they want to get Warren more involved. Furthermore, if anything were to happen to Harris, this is solely Warren’s job for the taking.
Christian Watson, WR, Green Bay Packers: The Packers’ receiving corps has been in shambles for much of the season with Davante Adams gone, but Watson was their prized pick in the draft. He’s battled injuries for much of the season, but Watson’s eight targets were double any other Packer, and he found the end zone three times. If Aaron Rodgers continues to make him his go-to receiver, Watson might be a league-winner down the stretch.

Darius Slayton, WR, New York Giants: Someone has to catch passes in this offense and Slayton has been the top target the past few weeks. He’s scored in two of the last three weeks, and easily leads the Giants in receiving yards on the season despite missing significant action due to injuries. If he’s healthy, he’s the only Giants player worth owning outside Saquon Barkley.
Nick Westbrook-Ikhine, WR, Tennessee Titans: I’m not going to lie, Westbrook-Ikhine has been a popular DFS play for much of the season and has burned me. Of course, I had no interest in playing him this week, and he has a two-touchdown game. The Titans’ passing game is significantly better with Ryan Tannehill under center than Malik Willis, so if you’re looking for a dark horse who could pay dividends, Westbrook-Ikhine is an option.
Cole Kmet, TE, Chicago Bears: Another player who was featured last week, and if you started him, you likely won this week. He’s scored five touchdowns the last three weeks, including back-to-back games with two scores. On top of that, he’s gotten 13 targets in the Bears’ last two games, and while that might not seem like a lot, Justin Fields only has 48 pass attempts in those two contests. That’s 27 percent of his targets. Kmet is a top-12 tight end as long as he’s getting that type of usage.
