Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton is going to be a popular waiver-wire target after producing passing and rushing touchdowns in his Week 10 debut. However, it's worth noting that Newton may remain a part-time player until he is up to speed in Joe Brady's offense.

Patriots quarterback Mac Jones, on the other hand, is a surefire starter and easily the most consistent of this year's rookie signal-callers. While the Patriots do run a ground-heavy offense, Jones can make every throw in the book.

"Mac Jones is every bit as good as Joe Burrow," one NFL coach said, per NBC Sports' Peter King.

Last week against the Cleveland Browns, Jones threw for 198 yards and three touchdowns. This week, he'll face a Falcons defense that has allowed the 12th-most fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks this season. It's not a juicy matchup, but it's certainly not a daunting one.

Jones is rostered in 29 percent of Yahoo leagues and 14 percent of ESPN leagues.

When Derrick Henry landed on injured reserve with a foot injury and the Tennessee Titans signed Adrian Peterson, Peterson quickly became a popular waiver-wire target. However, managers should take note of the fact that D'Onta Foreman got the start in Week 10 against the New Orleans Saints.

Foreman's numbers weren't spectacular, but he did carry 11 times, catch a pair of passes and finish with 78 scrimmage yards.

This week, Foreman and the Titans will face a Houston Texans team that hasn't won since Week 1. Houston has allowed the sixth-most fantasy points to opposing running backs, in part because opponents are often playing with a lead.

Houston ranks dead-last in both offensive yardage and scoring. Look for the Titans to get up early and rely on Foreman to help close out the game.

Foreman is rostered in 7 percent of Yahoo leagues and 2 percent of ESPN leagues.

This is your weekly reminder that Dallas Cowboys wideout Michael Gallup is healthy and still available in a lot of leagues—though probably not for long. Gallup returned to the lineup in Week 10 after spending the previous eight weeks sidelined by a calf strain.

Gallup had three catches for 42 yards in Week 10, and he had four catches for 36 yards in Week 1 before the injury.

A former 1,000-yard receiver, Gallup has a fair bit of upside, but he's more valuable because of his PPR potential. CeeDee Lamb and Amari Cooper are the centerpieces of Dallas' passing attack, but Gallup is likely to see a handful of receptions each game moving forward.

This week, he'll face a Kansas City Chiefs defense that has been average at best against opposing receivers. The Chiefs have allowed the 15th-most fantasy points to the wideout position. Gallup is rostered in 52 percent of both Yahoo and ESPN leagues.
