The fantasy football schedule is heading into Week 10 and some pickups to check out include DeAngelo Williams, Sammy Watkins, Derek Carr, Delanie Walker, Michael Crabtree, Karlos Williams, James Starks, Allen Hurns and Kendall Gaskins coming out of Week 9. There also were some injuries to notable players, including Ben Roethlisberger and Teddy Bridgewater.

The Steelers dealt with Le'Veon Bell getting injured last week and that put DeAngelo Williams in a starting role on offense. With Roethlisberger injured, Williams had a strong game against the Raiders with over 200 total yards and he is a start option down the stretch for the rest of the season. Sammy Watkins returned and had a career day for the Bills, while Derek Carr and Michael Crabtree put up solid numbers for the Raiders. Karlos Williams returned from an injury, while James Starks, Delanie Walker and Allen Hurns also performed well on Sunday.

Williams started the first two games of the season for the Steelers with Bell out and he took over again and put up big numbers for the team. Williams had 170 yards rushing in the game on 27 carries and added two touchdowns while also catching two balls for 55 yards. Williams finished with over 220 total yards and this season he has scored five touchdowns in the games he has started in place of Bell.

Sammy Watkins returned to have the best game of his career, making eight catches for 168 yards and a touchdown for the Bills. Watkins has been dealing with injuries and had just 11 catches coming into the game and he now is looking to stay healthy for the duration of the season. Karlos Williams returned from a concussion and he had 110 yards and two touchdowns for the Bills against the Dolphins. LeSean McCoy dealt with a shoulder injury, but the injury is not considered to be serious.

The 49ers have been dealing with injuries at the running back position and while he didn't have a big game, Kendall Gaskins is worth picking up heading into Week 10. The Niners like how Gaskins runs and with Reggie Bush out for the season and both Carlos Hyde and Mike Davis banged up, he has the chance to be the lead back for a bit. Gaskins may vulture some touchdowns and he comes in after rushing seven times for 20 yards against the Falcons.

James Starks comes in after putting up over 100 total yards against the Panthers and he has continued to get a steady stream of carries for the Packers. Starks had 10 carries for 39 yards and added six catches for 83 yards and a touchdown against the Panthers. The Packers have been splitting time between Lacy and Starks this season and he is worth starting until the balance goes back to Lacy.

Delanie Walker had a strong day for the Titans, while Allen Hurns had five catches for 122 yards and a touchdown for the Jaguars. Hurns has been a steady target and has five touchdowns this season. Michael Crabtree had seven catches for 108 yards and two touchdowns this week and he has been playing well over the last stretch of games. Crabtree has four touchdowns in his last three games and at least 100 yards in his last two.
