Drew Mestemaker the Top Dog at Quarterback Position
Oklahoma State quarterback Drew Mestemaker is RotoBaller's top-ranked quarterback as the Cowboys prepare to play Kansas State on Saturday. Mestemaker is projected to score 31.4 fantasy points against the Wildcats. The Cowboys gunslinger was phenomenal his last time out, recording 323 yards passing on 27 of 42 completions, throwing five touchdowns along with one interception. Kansas State's defense has been mighty stingy this season, particularly against the pass, having allowed a slim average of 151.9 yards through the air per game. That is the seventh-best mark in the country. In a loss to Colorado on Halloween, Kansas State limited the Buffaloes' Isaac Wilson to 14 of 21 completions for 185 yards and a touchdown.

Hollywood Smothers Out for the Season with Knee, Shoulder Injuries
Texas running back Hollywood Smothers (knee/shoulder) will miss the rest of the 2026 season, according to On3's Pete Nakos. He got in six games this season, but was limited to 69 rushing attempts and 10 receptions. Smothers had 283 rushing yards and two touchdowns, while adding 79 yards and a score as a pass catcher. He ranks third on the team in rushing attempts right now, behind running back Raleek Brown and quarterback Arch Manning. Derrek Cooper and Michael Terry III have the next most rushing attempts, and could pick up the slack with Smothers now out for the remainder of the season. He can be dropped in all redraft fantasy formats.

Keelon Russell Faces Tough Matchup Against LSU
The last time Alabama quarterback Keelon Russell took the field, he performed exceptionally well in a 31-20 win over Texas A&M on Oct. 24. During the Crimson Tide victory, Russell recorded 311 yards passing and three touchdowns, along with an interception, while powering an explosive offensive effort. He faces a tough matchup in Week 10, when the Tide take on the 14th-ranked pass defense in the country in the LSU Tigers. The Tigers have limited their opponents to 172.8 yards per game and held Auburn quarterback Byrum Brown to just 160 yards passing and without a touchdown, while he was sacked seven times on Oct 24. Russell has scored five touchdowns rushing this season, so he is a threat to use his legs. Brown found the end zone via the ground game for Auburn last week against LSU.

Terrance Carter Jr. Eyes Big Fantasy Outing in Week 10
Texas Tech tight end Terrance Carter Jr. hasn't delivered very consistently this season, but he's set up well in his Week 10 matchup against West Virginia. The Mountaineers are allowing 483.9 total yards and 32.3 points per game so far this season. Carter has 193 receiving yards and two touchdowns over 20 receptions in his six games played so far. He's also gotten five rushing attempts, gaining 27 yards and scoring one more time. Carter scored in Week 9 against Arizona, but his 42 receiving yards in that contest were the second-most he's posted in a game so far. His Week 10 matchup is favorable enough to overlook some inconsistent fantasy outings and expect bigger things from him.

Chas Nimrod Set Up to Succeed in Favorable Week 10 Matchup
Auburn wide receiver Chas Nimrod has produced some solid fantasy performances this season, and another could be coming in Week 10 in a favorable matchup against Arkansas. The Razorbacks are giving up 361.8 total yards and 27.6 points per game so far this season. Nimrod has 402 receiving yards and four touchdowns across 37 receptions in his eight games played so far. He had 62 yards and a score across four receptions against Ole Miss in Week 9, but went for just seven yards on two grabs against LSU in Week 8. The favorable matchup in Week 10 gives Nimrod a solid outlook and makes him worth starting in a lot of fantasy leagues.

Willie Rodriguez Looking to Deliver in Tough Week 10 Test
Kentucky tight end Willie Rodriguez has been a pretty solid fantasy option this season, but a tough Week 10 test awaits him. He'll be going up against Tennessee, which allows just 288.4 total yards and 16.3 points per game so far this season. Rodriguez has 39 receptions for 324 yards and three touchdowns over eight games so far, plus has six rushing yards and another score on four attempts. He has at least five receptions in four straight games, and he's tallied three total touchdowns over that span as well. Rodriguez is a pretty solid fantasy starting option for Week 10, especially at a position where consistency is hard to find.

Junior Sherrill Primed for Success in Week 10
Vanderbilt wide receiver Junior Sherrill is set up to succeed in Week 10 against Mississippi State. The Bulldogs are allowing 378 total yards and 28.1 points per game, so the matchup is pretty favorable for Sherrill. The wide receiver has 706 receiving yards and four touchdowns on 49 receptions over eight games this season. Sherrill has eight catches in back-to-back games, and has at least 55 receiving yards in every contest so far. Between the matchup and his production on the field, Sherrill is a very solid fantasy option for Week 10. Fantasy owners can confidently start him in all formats.

Luke Reynolds Eyes Another Big Outing in Week 10
Virginia Tech tight end Luke Reynolds is coming off a big fantasy showing and will look to keep delivering in his team's Week 10 test against SMU. Reynolds had 44 receiving yards and two touchdowns across seven receptions against Clemson in his last game in Week 8. He is now up to 493 yards and six touchdowns on 50 catches over eight games this season. SMU will be a stiffer test for Reynolds, as the Mustangs are surrendering just 307.6 total yards per game, and just 181.8 of that is through the air. SMU allows 22.3 points per game as well. Reynolds is still a fantasy starting option in all leagues despite some up-and-down showings this season and a so-so matchup this weekend.

Umari Hatcher Looks to Keep Delivering in Week 10
Syracuse wide receiver Umari Hatcher has put together a pretty strong season, and he will look to keep things rolling in his team's Week 10 showing against Clemson. Hatcher has 952 receiving yards and eight touchdowns across 60 receptions, plus has two rushes for 39 more yards. He has at least six receptions in all but two games, and has been at or over 58 yards in every contest. Hatcher went for 65 yards on six receptions against SMU in Week 9. Clemson is a so-so matchup, allowing 329.3 total yards and 21.6 points per game this season. Hatcher remains a solid starting option in all leagues as a result of what he's produced when on the field this season.

Brysen Wright Commits to Miami
Miami has landed the commitment of five-star wide receiver Brysen Wright, who will join the team next season. Wright was initially the top receiver in the 2028 class, but has reclassified to 2027 and is ranked as the No. 33 overall player in next year's class. Standing 6-foot-3, 215 pounds, Wright has showcased electric playmaking ability at Mandarin High School, and is constantly making highlight-worthy plays. A receiving corps featuring him and Malachi Toney will certainly draw the attention of a high-caliber quarterback in the transfer portal next season.

LJ Martin Trending to Return Against Utah
BYU star running back LJ Martin (ankle) is listed as questionable, but is expected to dress for the Utah game on Saturday. Martin suffered the ankle injury in the October 3 win over TCU, and has missed the past four games with the injury. If he does indeed suit up, he is not expected to be 100% and will likely play in a limited capacity. Regardless, Martin's return will provide a spark to BYU's offense, as the Cougars' leading rusher has been quarterback Bear Bachmeier over the past four weeks. Martin has run for 344 yards and three touchdowns through four games, with a very early exit in the TCU game.

Tramell Jones Jr. to Start on Saturday
Florida is expected to start quarterback Tramell Jones Jr. this Saturday against Oklahoma. Jones entered last week's loss to Georgia after Aaron Philo struggled, but was only able to put eight points on the board. He also turned the ball over twice, fumbling once and throwing an interception. The Sooners' defense has been fairly stingy this season so while the Gators are at home, this is by no means an easy matchup. Jones and Philo have been in a quarterback competition seemingly all season so while Jones is set to start on Saturday, he is by no means guaranteed to start the rest of the way.

Vernell Brown III Doubtful for Saturday
Florida wide receiver Vernell Brown III (knee) is listed as doubtful ahead of Saturday's game against Oklahoma. Brown was listed as probable early last week, but suffered a setback and ended up missing his fourth consecutive game. In his absence, Bailey Stockton has emerged as a reliable target for quarterbacks Aaron Philo and Tramell Jones Jr., alongside Dallas Wilson. With Brown likely to miss his fifth straight game with the knee injury, the Gators will miss the electricity that he provides both as a weapon offensively and in the return game.

Ryan Coleman-Williams Questionable for Saturday
Alabama wide receiver Ryan Coleman-Williams (knee, head) is listed as questionable ahead of Saturday's game at LSU. Coleman-Williams underwent arthroscopic knee surgery to repair a meniscus injury after the Georgia game, and also suffered a head injury in that game. He has not played in the past two games, but has a chance to get back on the field for the big time showdown with LSU. Coleman-Williams has 23 catches for 415 yards and four touchdowns on the season. In his absence, Lotzeir Brooks and Rico Scott have stepped up as the Crimson Tide's primary pass catchers.

Colin Simmons Questionable for Saturday
Texas star edge rusher Colin Simmons (ankle) is listed as questionable ahead of Saturday's game against Missouri. Simmons has missed the last two games with the ankle sprain, and is setting up to potentially be a game-time decision on Saturday. The Longhorns are beaten up right now and could use all hands on deck for a tough road matchup. Simmons still leads the nation with 10.5 sacks despite missing the last two games.

Cam Coleman, Ryan Wingo Questionable for Saturday
Texas wide receivers Cam Coleman (shoulder) and Ryan Wingo (shoulder) are both listed as questionable ahead of Saturday's game against Missouri. Coleman aggravated his shoulder injury last week in the win over Mississippi State, leaving the game in the second half after catching two passes for 61 yards and a touchdown. He has not practiced this week, meaning he is likely trending in the wrong direction for Saturday. Wingo also suffered his shoulder injury in the game against Mississippi State last week, sitting out after catching three passes for 14 yards. While Coleman is more likely to miss Saturday's game, the outlook is more optimistic for Wingo. Regardless, Arch Manning will likely be shorthanded on Saturday. Both Emmett Mosley V and Jermaine Bishop will likely see expanded roles.

KJ Duff Doubtful for Week 10 With Ankle Injury
Rutgers wide receiver KJ Duff (ankle) is listed as doubtful ahead of Saturday's game against Wisconsin. Duff was initially listed as doubtful last week against Michigan, but ended up suiting up for the game. However, he re-aggravated the ankle injury in the first quarter and ended up missing the rest of the game. Duff has been dominant this season, catching 45 balls for 774 yards and nine touchdowns as the focal point of the Scarlet Knights' offense. If he cannot go, as is likely, Rutgers may struggle to move the ball.

Alessio Milivojevic Questionable to Return Saturday
Michigan State quarterback Alessio Milivojevic (undisclosed) is listed as questionable ahead of Saturday's game against Michigan. Milivojevic missed the loss to UCLA two weeks ago with the injury, forcing third-stringer Kayd Coffman into his first career start. Backup quarterback Cam Fancher remains listed as out so if Milivojevic is unable to go, it would likely be Coffman under center again on Saturday.

Aidan Chiles Questionable Ahead of Saturday
Northwestern quarterback Aidan Chiles (undisclosed) is listed as questionable ahead of Saturday's game against Iowa. Chiles has had a great season in Chip Kelly's scheme, passing for 1,898 yards, 13 touchdowns, and one interception. He has also scrambled for 274 yards and 10 touchdowns. The Wildcats are second in the Big Ten in scoring, averaging 33.6 points per game. Chiles' presence will be needed on Saturday as the Wildcats host a tough Iowa defense. If he is unable to go, West Virginia transfer Nicco Marchiol would likely start in his place.

Jeremiah McClellan Probable for Saturday
Oregon wide receiver Jeremiah McClellan (foot) is listed as probable ahead of Saturday's game against Ohio State. McClellan has not played since the Week 2 loss to Oklahoma State, in which he suffered a broken foot. He broke out in the Week 1 win over Boise State, catching six passes for 150 yards and a touchdown as the Ducks' leading receiver. His return comes at a great time, as the Ohio State game is a must-win for the Ducks, and freshman receiver Messiah Hampton will not be available.
