Another weekend of NFL action is mostly in the books and we’re officially at the halfway point of the 2025 regular season. There weren’t too many explosive performances from waiver wire running backs over the weekend, but there were a few names that stood out.
We’ll go over some performers that you should consider scooping off the waiver wire ahead of Week 10 and as always, we’ll classify a waiver add as someone who is rostered in 60% of leagues at the max.
Week 10 byes: Cincinnati Bengals, Dallas Cowboys, Kansas City Chiefs, Tennessee Titans
Brian Robinson Jr., RB, San Francisco 49ers (44.2%)
Hey look, it’s B-Rob! You remember that guy, right? Robinson finally had a noteworthy effort in the Niners’ 34-24 victory over the Giants, taking five carries for 53 yards and a touchdown. The fourth-year back has been firmly planted behind Christian McCaffrey since being traded to San Fran before the season and he might’ve earned himself some more touches with his day at MetLife Stadium.
Considering that 49ers players are continuing to drop like flies, it might not be a bad idea for Shanahan to give his backups some extra burn just in case.
Week 10 matchup: vs. Los Angeles Rams, 4:25 p.m. ET
Blake Corum, RB, Los Angeles Rams (9.9%)
The Rams returned from their bye week and made easy work of the lowly Saints in a 34-10 victory. Corum had himself a decent day on the ground with 13 carries for 58 yards and something that should be noted is that this marked the second straight game where’s he gotten 10+ touches in a game. The second-year back out of Michigan is still squarely behind Kyren Williams in the production department, but he’s getting enough work to be a strong handcuff option throughout the second half of the season. Keep him on your radars.
Week 10 matchup: @ San Francisco 49ers, 4:25 p.m. ET
Tank Bigsby, RB, Philadelphia Eagles (37.9%)
The reigning Super Bowl champions are returning from their bye week and were last seen pummeling the Giants in a 38-20 victory in Week 8. In case you forgot, Bigsby had his first meaningful game with Philly since his arrival from Jacksonville at the beginning of the season, taking nine carries for 104 yards in the win. That was also a game where Saquon Barkley exited with a minor groin injury, but he should be a-ok coming off the bye.
The Eagles would still be smart to manage Barkley’s workload as they enter the second half of the season and Bigsby could emerge as a strong handcuff in fantasy down the stretch. Watch that space.
Week 10 matchup: @ Green Bay Packers, 8:15 p.m. ET (Monday night)
Brittain Brown, RB, Chicago Bears (1.2%)
When D’Andre Swift was ruled out of Sunday’s game against the Bengals with a groin injury, it was a given that Kyle Monangai would pick up the slack and certainly he did his thing with 198 yards from scrimmage in the 47-42 win. What wasn’t a given was *checks notes* Brittain Brown scoring? The veteran practice squader got his first taste of substantial action in his career and delivered in a critical spot, taking five carries for 37 and a third-quarter touchdown that put Chicago back on top.
We’ll obviously have to see Swift’s status for this week and if the Bears are once again forced to turn to their backup backs. But hey, Brown showed us something on Sunday. Keep him in mind.
Week 10 matchup: vs. New York Giants, 1 p.m. ET
