The NFL is just about set to wrap up Week 9 of the 2017 regular season, with Monday Night Football the only 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 Yahoo! entering Week 10.
Here are the top five running back options to consider heading into Week 10.
Matt Forte (42 percent)
Devontae Booker (4 percent)
Corey Clement (1 percent)
Rob Kelley (32 percent)
Alfred Morris/Darren McFadden (58/35 percent)
The running back options have slimmed down considerably. Fantasy owners are left making primarily speculative additions. Corey Clement and Devontae Booker are the two best examples of that. Booker is back healthy and part of a committee, while Clement put up big numbers the same week the Philadelphia Eagles acquired Jay Ajayi. Neither is a sure thing in Week 10, but if you’re patient, they could be solid adds.
Matt Forte is probably the best add this week as the guy who got the most touches for the New York Jets. That’s not exactly a great role, but with the Jets playing some decent football, it’s a good add. As for Alfred Morris and Darren McFadden? Ezekiel Elliott will have a hearing this week on his appeal, and his suspension likely begins in Week 10.
