Seth McGowan Leads Waiver Wire
I picked up in fantasy on Wednesday,
Saints beat writer and podcaster Nick Underhill reported on Twitter when asked about running back Audric Estime’s workload.
FantasyPros reported the top waiver wire targets and budget priorities for Week 10 of the NFL season.
Indianapolis Trade Deadline Pressure
The Indianapolis Colts face a Tuesday trade deadline that could reshape their backfield, according to FantasyPros. Running back Jonathan Taylor bid adieu to the city after a Week 9 loss to the Dallas Cowboys when he thanked fans during a locker room interview.

Seth McGowan ranks as a top pickup at 32 percent rostered, carrying a true value bid of $13. McGowan has rushed 43 times for 208 yards and one touchdown behind Taylor this season. The rookie scored his first touchdown Sunday after Taylor lost his shoe on a run to the 2-yard line.
A pessimistic view suggests the Indianapolis offense could collapse if Taylor departs alongside quarterback Daniel Jones and wide receiver Josh Downs. However, starting running backs are rare in Week 10, making McGowan an instant starter if a trade occurs.
New Orleans Backfield Shifts
Audric Estime sits at 4 percent rostered with a true value bid of $8 after leading the New Orleans backfield in touches Sunday against the Cleveland Browns. Estime rushed 15 times for 72 yards and one touchdown while catching one pass for five yards.
Alvin Kamara out-snapped Estime 37 to 35 on Sunday, but Kamara managed only nine touches. The 31-year-old Kamara remains a reliable pass catcher but can no longer carry a running game single-handedly.
Seth McGowan RB1 after Jonathan Taylor trade ?
Travis Etienne Jr. has missed time since Week 3 with a hamstring injury and has not yet been designated to return from injured reserve. Estime faces a favorable matchup this week against the Carolina Panthers, a defense that surrendered heavy fantasy production to running backs entering Week 9.
San Francisco Backup Value
Kaelon Black is rostered in 39 percent of leagues with a true value bid of $6 as a key backup for the San Francisco 49ers. Head coach Kyle Shanahan frequently discusses managing Christian McCaffrey’s workload as the 7-1 49ers position themselves for the playoffs.
Black rushed 11 times for 70 yards in a 38-17 victory over the Oakland Raiders. The rookie from Indiana has totaled 68 carries for 303 yards and one touchdown this season.
Black serves as an essential handcuff for McCaffrey managers heading into a Week 10 matchup against the Dallas Cowboys. Any injury to McCaffrey would immediately elevate Black into a primary offensive role.
Colts, Dolphins, Texans, Giants
What are the next three opponents for Seth McGowan and the Colts?
The Indianapolis Colts face the Miami Dolphins, the Houston Texans, and the New York Giants. Seth McGowan carries a desperate need bid of $25 and a budget-minded bid of $7.
