Week 10 Waiver Wire: Laurent Robinson and Other Must-Adds

Week 9 is nearly in the books and that means fantasy GMs need to start looking forward to Week 10 and their upcoming matchup.

With no teams on the bye in this coming week, the waiver wire is now the source for upgrading your roster.

Here are three players who can do just that.

WR Laurent Robinson, Dallas Cowboys (vs. Buffalo Bills)

Dallas wide receiver Miles Austin is likely out until December with a hamstring injury, and for the duration of his absence it will be Laurent Robinson starting in his place.

Robinson replaced Austin in his team's Week 9 victory over the Seattle Seahawks, catching five passes for 32 yards and one score. He has two 100-plus yardage games on the season, with a total of 24 receptions for 368 yards and two touchdowns on the year—impressive for never once being a true starter.

Considering that fellow starter Dez Bryant only emerges briefly for the Cowboys anymore, Robinson has a great chance to make a major impact in every game he's named the starter.

He's one of the biggest and best waiver-wire adds of Week 10, and it's time to make your move now if you need a receiver immediately.

WR Michael Crabtree, San Francisco 49ers (vs. New York Giants)

This is your last chance to snag Niners receiver Michael Crabtree—he's owned in 49 percent of Yahoo! leagues, and after his increasingly effective performances for his team, he's quickly becoming a must-add, must-start wide receiver, the kind that can make all the difference if you're struggling to field a reliable WR2 or WR3.

Injuries and a slow start made many fantasy GMs wary of owning Crabtree, but he's come up big in recent weeks, averaging 60.6 yards in his last three games, including five grabs in five targets for 51 yards in his team's Week 9 win over the Washington Redskins.

On the season, Crabtree has 30 receptions for 314 yards and a touchdown. His production should remain steady or increase throughout the remainder of the season—if he's not owned in your league, grab him now and start him weekly.

TE Jake Ballard, New York Giants (at San Francisco 49ers)

Giants tight end Jake Ballard is more of an insurance grab than anything else, and his team's matchup in Week 10 doesn't portend the best for him. But if you're unsure at the tight end position and are looking for a change, Ballard is an excellent option.

What Ballard lacks in speed he makes up for in reliability, and he's become one of quarterback Eli Manning's favorite targets, with 23 grabs for 395 yards and three touchdowns on the year, including four receptions in seven targets, for 67 yards and a score in Week 9.

Manning has always relied on his tight end to get him out of a jam, as evidenced by Kevin Boss' good numbers while he was with the Giants.

Ballard has long-term value, and if you've a need or just want to stash away an option, give him a go.
