Fantasy Football Week 10 Waiver Wire: Players To Cut from Your Fantasy Team

He has been one of the best receivers in the league since the 2003 season. He’s had six seasons with six or more touchdowns, five 1,000-yard seasons and has 52 career receiving touchdowns.

Yet, at this point of the season, Steve Smith of the Carolina Panthers is no longer a legitimate fantasy football option. The Panthers are a team in transition and are weak at the quarterback position between Matt Moore and Jimmy Clausen.

Continue reading on for the full writeup on Smith, but he is not the only big name on the list this week.

There’s another veteran receiver on the list, but to find out you’ll have to read the rest of the Week 10 Fantasy Football Waiver Wire - Cut Them Loose.

Donald Driver (Green Bay Packers)

We may be witnessing the end of a great career with Green Bay Packers wide receiver Donald Driver.

Driver had three touchdowns in the first four weeks of the season, but after that he caught just seven passes in Weeks 5 and 6 combined and has been sidelined since then with a quadriceps injury.

Driver has been a terrific receiver for many years with the Packers, racking up 52 career receiver touchdowns. However, he is in his 12th season and the injury is bad enough that he is currently on crutches. There is no word yet on when he will return, but when he does he won’t be 100 percent.

Green Bay has managed to get along well without him, including last week when the Packers put 45 points on the Dallas Cowboys. James Jones and Greg Jennings have stepped up his Driver’s absence, and it will likely stay that way even after Driver returns.

Steve Smith (Carolina Panthers)

Aside from the parallels that Green Bay Packers receiver Donald Driver and Carolina Panthers receiver Steve Smith both have 52 career receiving touchdowns and are on the Cut Them Loose list this week, they are in two different situations.

Smith is healthy whereas Driver is not. Driver has a good quarterback and a great offense, and Smith does not.

Smith has only caught five or more passes in a game twice this year, and in last week’s loss to the New Orleans Saints he had just one reception for nine yards. The problem isn’t Smith, the problem is the rest of the offense. Running backs DeAngelo Smith and Jonathan Stewart are hurt, and quarterbacks Matt Moore (out for season) and Jimmy Clausen, frankly, just aren’t that good.

The offense is in a bad situation right now and you can't expect Smith to start putting up numbers like he has in the past. As we make our way down the stretch towards the fantasy playoffs, Smith no longer has value in standard leagues and should be dropped.
