Another week has come and gone, and dynasty managers everywhere are starting to realize whether their team is in contention or not. No matter which way your team is headed, trading for and adding players off waivers is still a vital part of helping your team.
Don’t get too down if you’re out of it. There’s always a way to add value to your team. Here are some players I’m targeting that I think could see an uptick as we head toward the playoffs in 2023.
Week 10 Dynasty Fantasy Football Stashes
Huntley hasn’t exactly been rosterable in dynasty unless starting QB Lamar Jackson is missing considerable time. He has started four games in the last two years and saw some meaningful snaps in garbage time in Week 9. His touchdown pass to Odell Beckham was Beckham’s first as a Raven. This puts him into consideration for dynasty rosters again.

Week 10 Dynasty Fantasy Football Stashes
Huntley hasn’t exactly been rosterable in dynasty unless starting QB Lamar Jackson is missing considerable time. He has started four games in the last two years and saw some meaningful snaps in garbage time in Week 9. His touchdown pass to Odell Beckham was Beckham’s first as a Raven. This puts him into consideration for dynasty rosters again.
I doubt you’ll be starting Huntley even if Jackson gets injured again, but on the off chance that we see more garbage time, Huntley could see a solid value bump. If he’s still on waivers in your SuperFlex league, I’m seriously recommending you add him to your bench. I’d much rather roster him than other QBs I’ve stashed in previous weeks, like Malik Willis and Bailey Zappe.
I’m sure you already saw, but Ogunbowale’s lead-changing field goal for the Texans was pretty impressive. For fantasy purposes, it was still worth 3 points in most leagues. Those three points were the highest of his season so far, largely because he just hasn’t seen the field much. He did get 11 carries in Week 18 of last season, mostly in mop-up time during a terrible season, but still.
I’m fine stashing Ogunbowale this week on the off chance that the team likes his abilities to start using him more. His chances at a solid opportunity for fantasy are pretty low, but that’s true of almost every stash candidate, isn’t it?
Behind starting RB Joe Mixon and QB Joe Burrow, Williams is the third leading rusher on the Bengals with a measly 10 carries for 39 yards. He’s only scored 8.6 PPR points on the year and is almost certainly on waivers in shallower leagues. That surprises me since he’s practically a heartbeat away from getting starter reps if Mixon were to go down at all.
The team is a pass-first offense, but they still need a running game for that to work. Williams could be a sneaky playoff starter option, so stash him now if you’re already planning that far ahead.
Refrow is seventh on the Raiders in terms of receiving yards with 124 on the year, one yard behind Tre Tucker in one additional game. He’s been pretty middle-of-the-road for fantasy so far this year as well. That being said, with all of the rumors about the team potentially trading Davante Adams and now going through a change in the front office, I wouldn’t be surprised to see Renfrow being one of the beneficiaries.
Both Renfrow and teammate Jakobi Meyers are 27, but I think Renfrow still has a lot of potential yet to be realized. Meyers has been solid, and Adams is a stud, but if something were to happen to either, I think it’s Renfrow who would see the biggest boost in terms of dynasty value. Those are the kinds of players I want on my bench so I can flip them for profit once they start to pay off.
Unlike Renfrow, Berrios has been fantasy-relevant at various times this season. His lone touchdown on the year so far came in the team’s Week 4 loss against Buffalo, where he was the top receiver on the team. Berrios caught all six of his targets for 43 yards, but that touchdown was QB Tua Tagovailoa‘s only one of the day.
If Tua can find Berrios more often and help spread the ball around I think the team will become more multidimensional, which should also make them harder to beat. Add to that the fact that Berrios returns kicks and you get some random touchdown upside to boot. In leagues where return yardage scores points, he’s likely already rostered, but elsewhere, he might be on waivers or able to be added for cheap in a trade to bolster your bench for a playoff run.
The one weakness in the Bengals’ offense this year has been at tight end, and it’s not even close. Heading into Week 9, the Bengals’ top three tight ends combined for 17 catches for 115 yards and zero touchdowns. Collectively they went off for 10 catches for 101 yards and two touchdowns in Week 9 alone. The most impressive of the group was Hudson, who had 45 yards and no touchdowns. He just looked different than the other two.
Based on that, I’m adding him anywhere I get a boost in tight end scoring on the off chance that we see him take another step forward and finally give Burrow a reliable tight end option in the already stellar passing attack. If that happens, Hudson could be a league winner in the playoffs for fantasy managers.
