Week 10 Quarterback News
Malik Willis, Miami Dolphins
Miami Dolphins head coach Jeff Hafley said on Monday that he has not met with the medical team and does not have an answer about quarterback Malik Willis' groin injury, according to Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN. Willis played through groin and hamstring tightness in Sunday's Week 10 loss to the visiting Detroit Lions and finished 13-for-25 passing for 128 yards with no touchdowns and an interception while adding two carries for only seven yards on the ground. It was a disappointing showing for the 27-year-old signal-caller, considering the opponent and a recent stretch of five touchdown passes over his previous three games against the New England Patriots, New York Jets, and Cincinnati Bengals.
Fantasy managers using Willis in two-QB superflex leagues this year will need to keep a close eye on his status going into the Week 10 tilt against the Indianapolis Colts, but he should have a good chance to play in a bounce-back matchup against a struggling Colts squad. So far in his first year as the starter in Miami, Willis has been the QB20 in overall fantasy points with 1,396 passing yards, six touchdowns, and six interceptions in eight starts.
J.J. McCarthy, New York Giants
New York Giants quarterback J.J. McCarthy (hip) is trending toward playing Thursday night against the Washington Commanders. "I feel fairly good about it," head coach John Harbaugh said, according to Pat Leonard. McCarthy missed most of the third quarter of Sunday's win over the Philadelphia Eagles before the Giants' medical staff cleared him to return. He scrambled 11 yards for a first down in the fourth quarter and said afterward he still felt the effects of the injury on that run.
He finished 12 of 19 for 127 yards and added 22 yards on four carries. McCarthy hasn't thrown a touchdown pass in two starts for New York, though he ran for a score in his first start against the Houston Texans. His rushing is part of his QB2 appeal in Superflex, and the hip injury adds risk to that part of his game on a short week. Jameis Winston threw the Giants' only touchdown in relief Sunday. If McCarthy sits, Winston is a Superflex fallback after throwing for 326 yards and three touchdowns on 54 attempts against Washington in Week 5.
Drew Lock, Seattle Seahawks
Seattle Seahawks quarterback Drew Lock (oblique) said he will play in Week 10 on the road against the Las Vegas Raiders after injuring his oblique in the 17-3 win over the division-rival Arizona Cardinals on Sunday, according to Gregg Bell. Lock, who has also been dealing with right-elbow tendinitis, will undergo more tests on Sunday night. It is good news for Seattle's offense, with starter Sam Darnold (quadriceps) trending toward missing a second straight game. The 29-year-old Lock had pedestrian numbers in Sunday's win over Arizona, going 19-for-28 passing for 175 yards and one touchdown while adding five carries for 16 yards on the ground.
When considering that Lock did not throw much during the week because of his elbow tendinitis, he was serviceable in leading the Seahawks to another win while, most importantly, avoiding any turnovers, which is something that Darnold has struggled with in 2026. In his last four starts as a fill-in for Seattle, Lock is 3-1 with a 69.5% completion rate, 887 passing yards, seven touchdowns, and two interceptions for a passer rating of 104.0. Lock has been better in real life than as a fantasy asset, and if he makes another start in Week 10 in Vegas, he will be back on the radar as a low-end QB2 with limited upside in superflex fantasy formats
