Everybody adds the same names every week. Plenty of them do nothing for you on Sunday. Here is the cut: take the 25 most-added players on Sleeper in the last 24 hours and set each one against his Week 10 projection, his projection for the next three weeks, his season PPG and his last three games. Scoring is PPR. Adds and projections as of Nov 9, 2026.
The rule is simple. Backed means a Week 10 projection of 8 points or more. Hype means a projection under 6, or no projection at all. The 4 in between are depth. None of the 25 carries a status tag in our data. These are adds and projections only. They are not a read on role or news.
The adds the projections back
| Player | Pos / team | Adds 24h | Adds 72h | Week 10 proj | Next 3 wks | Season PPG | Last 3 PPG |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Malik Willis | QB / MIA | 70K | 202K | 17.1 | 49.9 (3 wk) | 13.9 | 14.8 |
| C.J. Stroud | QB / HOU | 74K | 99K | 15.5 | 50.3 (3 wk) | 20.8 | 25 |
| Carson Wentz | QB / MIN | 111K | 304K | 13 | 13 (1 wk) | 12.8 | 12.8 |
| Devin Singletary | RB / NYG | 393K | 1.60M | 10.1 | 25.2 (3 wk) | 7.9 | 8.2 |
| Omar Cooper Jr. | WR / NYJ | 81K | 330K | 10 | 31.5 (3 wk) | 12.5 | 19.5 |
| Jadarian Price | RB / SEA | 74K | 145K | 9.4 | 17.1 (2 wk) | 6.3 | 6.2 |
| Ryan Flournoy | WR / DAL | 268K | 360K | 8.5 | 25.6 (3 wk) | 9.3 | 10.5 |
| Adonai Mitchell | WR / NYJ | 119K | 494K | 8.1 | 26.3 (3 wk) | 9.7 | 9.1 |
| Darren Waller | TE / CAR | 75K | 81K | 8.1 | 24.4 (3 wk) | 9.6 | 12.4 |
| Caleb Douglas | WR / MIA | 54K | 110K | 8.1 | 23.9 (3 wk) | 12.1 | 14.1 |
| Jordan Addison | WR / MIN | 68K | 128K | 8 | 24.5 (3 wk) | 8.2 | 8.3 |
"Next 3 wks" is the sum of the projections we have, and the number in parentheses is how many weeks that covers. 11 of the 25 clear the bar, and together they pulled 1.39M adds in 24 hours.
Start with the quarterbacks. Malik Willis has the top Week 10 projection on the whole list, 17.1, and a next-three sum of 49.9. C.J. Stroud is projected at 15.5 but owns the biggest next-three sum, 50.3. He is averaging 20.8 PPG over 8 games and 25 over his last three, with 74K adds. In a one-quarterback league you need one of these, not three. Carson Wentz is projected at 13, but he has 2 games played and a projection for only 1 week, so treat that number with care.
The skill players. Devin Singletary is the most-added player on the list: 393K adds in 24 hours and 1.60M in 72, with a projection of 10.1. He has played 5 games and averages 7.9. Omar Cooper Jr. is a 22-year-old rookie projected at 10, averaging 19.5 over his last three and a next-three sum of 31.5. He has 81K adds, about a fifth of Singletary's. Darren Waller is the only tight end on the list, at 8.1. Jadarian Price is projected at 9.4 with 6.3 PPG on the season, so the projection is running ahead of what he has done.
The hype: big adds, small projections
| Player | Pos / team | Adds 24h | Adds 72h | Week 10 proj | Next 3 wks | Season PPG | Last 3 PPG |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tank Dell | WR / HOU | 391K | 403K | 2.7 | 8.4 (3 wk) | 13 | 13 |
| Audric Estime | RB / NO | 320K | 489K | 2.4 | 3.3 (3 wk) | 11.3 | 11.3 |
| Corey Kiner | RB / NE | 161K | 391K | 5 | 9.9 (2 wk) | 3.6 | 5.5 |
| Darius Cooper | WR / PHI | 84K | 245K | — | 6.1 (2 wk) | 6.3 | 3.7 |
| Kenny Gainwell | RB / TB | 83K | 136K | — | 12.9 (2 wk) | 7.1 | 11.1 |
| Jordan Watkins | WR / SF | 75K | 157K | 2 | 2.5 (3 wk) | 6.4 | 10.1 |
| Shedeur Sanders | QB / CLE | 70K | 141K | — | 15.3 (1 wk) | 7.6 | 7.6 |
| Pat Bryant | WR / DEN | 60K | 97K | — | 18.7 (2 wk) | 9.5 | 12.6 |
| Gregory Desrosiers | RB / NYG | 57K | 244K | — | — | 2 | — |
| Seth McGowan | RB / IND | 52K | 89K | 5 | 14.9 (3 wk) | 3.6 | 6.6 |
These 10 players pulled 1.35M adds in 24 hours. The 11 backed players pulled 1.39M. Almost nothing separates the two piles by adds, and that is the point of this piece.
Two names say it loudest. Tank Dell has 391K adds in 24 hours, the most of any hype add and second on the whole list. His projection is 2.7, and his next-three sum is 8.4 over 3 weeks. He has played 2 games and averaged 13. Audric Estime is next with 320K adds, a projection of 2.4 and the same 2 games played. Jordan Watkins is projected at 2, the lowest projection of any added player who has one.
Missing projections. 5 of the 25 have no Week 10 projection in our data: Darius Cooper, Kenny Gainwell, Shedeur Sanders, Pat Bryant and Gregory Desrosiers. We won't guess a number for them. Pat Bryant has 18.7 projected over the next 2 weeks, but that is only two weeks of projections and 5 games played. Gregory Desrosiers has 1 game played and no projection for any week.
The bait is the add count. Corey Kiner has 161K adds and a projection of 5. A big add count is not a projection.
The middle: depth, not a plan
4 more are projected between 6 and 8 points, with 612K adds between them. Demarcus Robinson has the most, 380K (third on the whole list), at 7.4 projected and 20.1 over three weeks. Alvin Kamara is at 6.9 with 12 over his last three. Dylan Sampson is at 7.5 and Justice Hill at 6.9. Add one if you have a hole and nobody better.
The adds by position
| Pos | On the list | Backed (8+) | Hype (under 6 or none) | Adds 24h | Top projection |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| QB | 4 | 3 | 1 | 326K | Malik Willis (17.1) |
| RB | 10 | 2 | 5 | 1.37M | Devin Singletary (10.1) |
| WR | 10 | 5 | 4 | 1.58M | Omar Cooper Jr. (10) |
| TE | 1 | 1 | 0 | 75K | Darren Waller (8.1) |
Wide receivers took the most adds, 1.58M from 10 players, and 5 of them are backed. Running backs are 10 of the 25 and pulled 1.37M adds, 41% of the total, but only 2 are backed (Devin Singletary and Jadarian Price) while 5 are hype. If you need a back, you are probably choosing depth.
Quarterbacks have the highest backed share of any group with more than one player: 3 of the 4. The tight end list is one player long.
How to use this
- Open with the backed list. If one fits your roster hole, bid on him.
- Match the add to your need. A second quarterback does nothing in a one-quarterback league.
- Skip anyone whose projection is under 6. A heavy add count with a low projection is the pattern to avoid.
- Check status before kickoff. These numbers are from Monday. A status change beats them.
- Go past the top 25. The full Week 10 waiver wire updates daily, and the waiver wire tool sorts it against your own roster. For the weeks ahead, see the rest-of-season rankings.
