Week 10 of the 2017 regular season is just about coming to a close with the Monday Night Football game remaining. Most fantasy football leagues will run their waiver wires late Tuesday or early Wednesday, but we are here to help you get a jump on the best options to consider.

We will be ranking the top five players likely to be available in your league at each of the four major positions. Some weeks there might not be five good options available, but we’ll scour for the best we can find. Additionally, throughout the week, we will update each of these articles as ownership percentages change and news arrives. The following ownership percentages come via CBS Sportsline entering Week 10.
Vernon Davis, Washington (62 percent owned)
As long as Jordan Reed is sidelined with his hamstring injury, Davis remains a viable option at tight end. Davis has been producing all season, even with Reed on the field, and he put up more solid numbers against the Vikings with seven catches on 11 targets for 76 yards. In both games Reed has missed with this latest injury, Davis has topped 70 yards. Now, if we can just get him a look in the end zone …
Eric Ebron, Detroit Lions (48)
Ebron is back and he’s back big. In his third consecutive productive outing after a midseason disappearance, Ebron finally found the end zone, scoring on a 29-yard sideline pass that put the Lions ahead for good. It was the biggest play in a 3-39-1 line, but fantasy owners will take that 12.9-point performance in PPR leagues every time.
Celek was the darling of DFS players on Sunday with his 6-67-1 line at minimum price. He was also pretty awesome in season-long leagues and he should continue to be so as long as George Kittle is sidelined. Celek had a career year as a receiver in 2016, so he has outings like this in him, and figures to remain a vital part of the offense for the unstoppable 49ers going forward.
Gresham and Drew Stanton had a special thing going on during Stanton’s first two weeks as the starter. Gresham scored for the second straight game last Thursday as part of a 5-64-1 line. We’ll have to see if Stanton is able to start this week after hurting his knee against the Seahawks, but if he’s able to go, Gresham remains a viable play.
At some point, DeValve could be the No. 1 tight end option in Cleveland, and maybe that time is now. DeValve was all over the field against the Lions, earning a season-high six targets and matching his season high with four catches for 90 yards. He’s starting to separate from rookie David Njoku, and is stash-worthy down the stretch.
