# Pat Fitzmaurice: In his Week 10 waiver column, Fitzmaurice predicted Jonathan Taylor would likely be traded by the deadline, expected Travis Etienne Jr. not to return in Week 10 while Mike Evans, Garrett Wilson and Kyle Monangai return soon, and saw Shedeur Sanders holding Cleveland's starting job and Konata Mumpfield working as the Rams' top receiver. **Claimed:** Nov 9, 2026 **Pundit:** Pat Fitzmaurice — https://missedtakes.co/pundits/pat-fitzmaurice **Outlet:** FantasyPros — https://missedtakes.co/outlets/fantasypros **How it reached us:** published in writing **Original:** https://www.fantasypros.com/2026/11/fantasy-football-waiver-wire-advice-players-to-add-stash-drop-week-10-2026/ 7 checkable claims — 4 availability calls, 2 depth chart calls and 1 trade and signing call — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing call. It names 13 players and teams, each linked to their own record. None of them have settled yet — they grade once their results are in. Of the 2 unsettled calls enough other pundits have weighed in on, this one lands below the rest of the room on every one. > The NFL trade deadline is Tuesday, and there's a good chance the Colts will move RB Jonathan Taylor before the deadline. *(their words, quoted for attribution)* ## The claims - **Shedeur Sanders to be 1st on the depth chart** - Kind: Depth Chart Calls · About: Shedeur Sanders, Cleveland Browns - Verdict: not settled yet - **But it seems unlikely that Etienne will be back this week, and the Saints have an attractive running-game matchup against the Panthers.
