Vernell Brown III Out Against Oklahoma
Florida wide receiver Vernell Brown III has been declared out against Oklahoma, according to the SEC availability report. Brown III (knee) has missed his team's last four games and will be sidelined once again as the Gators take on the Sooners. Brown III started the season strong, recording six receptions for 117 yards and a touchdown during a blowout win over FAU, but he was injured on Sept. 26 against Ole Miss and has been out ever since. Expect additional work in the passing game to continue to go to wide receiver Dallas Wilson, who leads the team with 417 yards receiving, and wide receiver Bailey Stockton, who is listed as probable.

Austin Simmons Returning to Missouri in 2027
Missouri has locked up one of its own for the 2027 season, as quarterback Austin Simmons has announced his return to the university. Simmons' NFL Draft stock has been on the rise in recent days, but he now figures to be one of the top names for the 2028 cycle. However, he technically could still enter the 2027 draft on his new deal. The Ole Miss transfer has completed 63% of his passes for 1,952 yards, 16 touchdowns, and two interceptions this season. His return will make Missouri an attractive landing spot for portal players this offseason. Simmons and the Tigers will host Texas on Saturday at noon in what should be one of many high-end football games this weekend.

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.
