Fantasy Football Matchup Outlooks
Below are some fantasy football outlooks written by our NFL team here at RotoBaller, bringing you their fantasy football analysis and advice on which players to consider starting in Week 10:
Cooper Kupp, WR, Seattle Seahawks
Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Cooper Kupp (hamstring, heel) is listed as questionable to play in Week 10 against the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday, according to Brady Henderson of ESPN. However, Kupp was a full participant in Friday's practice, so it sounds like he'll have a good chance of playing after he sat out in the Week 9 win over the Washington Commanders with hamstring and heel injuries.
Meanwhile, rookie Tory Horton (shin), who had two touchdowns last week with Kupp sidelined, is listed as doubtful to play this weekend. The 32-year-old Kupp could see more targets in the passing game with Horton likely out, but newly acquired wideout Rashid Shaheed could also step in immediately to become the WR2 behind Jaxon Smith-Njigba.
Kupp could see the field plenty this Sunday, but either way, the former third-rounder profiles as a shaky WR4/flex. The vast majority of quarterback Sam Darnold's targets are going to JSN this year, leaving Kupp with only 24 catches for 293 yards and one touchdown in seven games.
Luther Burden III, WR, Chicago Bears
Chicago Bears rookie wide receiver Luther Burden III (concussion) has been cleared from the injury report and will play in Week 10 against the New York Giants, per Kevin Fishbain of The Athletic.
Burden was inactive for Chicago's Week 9 win over the Bengals after suffering a concussion in Week 8 against the Ravens, but he will end up only missing one game. The rookie was removed from this week's injury report along with top wideouts D.J. Moore (groin, hip) and Rome Odunze (ankle, heel), which will make it tough to see consistent playing time.
The 21-year-old has flashed in his limited opportunities this season, catching 13 of his 15 targets for 171 yards and a touchdown in seven games. Burden is an intriguing upside bet to have stashed on benches, but shouldn't be in most lineups for Week 10.
Ty Johnson, RB, Buffalo Bills
Buffalo Bills running back Ty Johnson could see increased usage in Week 10. Through eight games, he has logged 17 carries for 72 yards and a touchdown, along with four receptions for 31 yards.
With James Cook (foot/ankle) not practicing, Johnson may be in line for a larger workload. Johnson has outsnapped Ray Davis this season, but in the one game Cook missed last year, Davis played 63% of the snaps compared to Johnson's 35%.
Cook's status will dictate how the backfield shakes out, so monitor practice reports closely. If Cook sits, both Johnson and Davis would see expanded roles against a vulnerable Miami defense.
Sterling Shepard, WR, Tampa Bay Buccaneers
A rash of injuries in his team's wide receiver corps has led to Tampa Bay Buccaneers wideout Sterling Shepard playing a larger role in his team's offense than initially expected at the outset of the 2025 season. Through eight games, the 32-year-old has recorded 27 catches for 275 yards and a touchdown on 36 targets.
Tampa Bay will remain without Mike Evans (collarbone) and Jalen McMillan (neck) in Week 10 against the New England Patriots. Wide receiver Chris Godwin (leg) has yet to practice this week and also appears to be trending towards missing Week 10.
Alongside rookies Emeka Egbuka and Tez Johnson, Shepard should see significant playing time against New England. His ceiling is limited, but Shepard could be a desperation flex option for deep-league fantasy managers in Week 10.
Adonai Mitchell, WR, New York Jets
Glenn said that Mitchell is "a true X" receiver who can win in one-on-one matchups, while Metchie is a "master" route-runner out of the slot. Maybe Mitchell and Metchie need more time to study the offensive playbook?
The Jets acquired Metchie from the Philadelphia Eagles last week and Mitchell from the Indianapolis Colts at Tuesday's trade deadline. Garrett Wilson (knee) will return this weekend from a knee injury that kept him sidelined for the last few games, but there is an opportunity for both Mitchell and Metchie to carve out roles with Josh Reynolds (hip). But in a bad Jets passing attack, both Mitchell and Metchie aren't much more than deep-league dart throws.
