Joe Burrow Making a Push for Overall QB1 Spot in Fantasy Football 0mLink copied!

Los Angeles Rams running back Blake Corum has emerged as a borderline must-start in fantasy football, despite his role as the backup to Kyren Williams. Corum has yet to play more than 45% of the snaps in a single game this season, but he has managed to rank as the overall RB20 because of his role within the Rams' high-scoring offense. The Rams love to get him involved around the goal line, as he has now scored a touchdown in five consecutive games. He has also been fantastic in terms of efficiency with an average of 5.2 yards per carry, including 5.9 YPC over the last three weeks. The only real red flags with Corum are that he is somewhat touchdown-dependent and he hasn't been as involved in the receiving game lately. The good news is that Corum's volume could increase going forward, which gives him more looks in the passing game, and this uptick in volume should reduce managers' reliance on him to score a touchdown. Corum's anticipated role increase stems from injuries at the wide receiver position, as the Rams are now without Davante Adams (hamstring), Puka Nacua (knee), and Jordan Whittington (back) for an extended period of time. The Rams love to have Matthew Stafford throwing the football, but with an injury-riddled receiver room and tight end Terrance Ferguson (hamstring) also on IR, a lot of his passes may start going to the running back position. Williams is the team's top pass-catching back, but Corum totaled a respectable nine catches from Weeks 3-7. We can't count on Corum to maintain his insane touchdown frequency in his current role, but we do anticipate an uptick in volume that should keep him in the low-end RB2 or high-end RB3 tier going forward.--Andersen Pickard

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Konata Mumpfield has a realistic opportunity to emerge as the No. 1 option in the receiver room going forward. The Rams placed Davante Adams (hamstring) on injured reserve a few weeks back, lost Jordan Whittington (back) to IR this week, and are now expected to be without Puka Nacua (knee) for an extended period of time. Quarterback Matthew Stafford is losing his top targets left and right, and now, Mumpfield appears to be the No. 1 option remaining in the wide receiver room. He has shown flashes of upside from time to time this season, such as when he caught four passes for 93 yards and a touchdown with Nacua sidelined back in Week 3. Meanwhile, he also has played at least 43% of the snaps in each of his last four games. Now that Mumpfield is slated to headline the receiving corps, we would not be surprised if his snap share soars to at least 70% in the weeks to come. While there are other receivers in the mix to earn more volume, making Mumpfield far from a lock to post fantasy-relevant numbers, we certainly like his chances to contribute in fantasy football relative to the rest of the Rams' pass catchers. He has WR3/flex upside going forward, although managers in leagues with fewer than 14 teams should consider leaving Mumpfield on the bench this week while we wait to see exactly what his role will look like.--Andersen Pickard

Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown (rib) remains on the injury report in Week 10 and was listed as a limited participant in practice on Wednesday, according to the team's official website. St. Brown was limited in practice all of last week before suiting up and playing 75% of the offensive snaps in the Week 9 win over the Miami Dolphins, catching eight of his 10 targets for 86 yards. The 27-year-old should be fine to play this weekend in Munich, Germany, against the New England Patriots in what will be a homecoming for the Pro Bowl pass-catcher. St. Brown is a must-start, high-end WR1 as long as he is active in fantasy football, as he comes into Week 10 as the WR8 in half-PPR scoring with 61 catches on 86 targets for 657 yards and five touchdowns across eight games played. His 86 targets rank sixth among all wideouts, behind only CeeDee Lamb, Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Puka Nacua, Matthew Golden, and Michael Wilson (neck), and he has played in one fewer game than four of those players. St. Brown should be active this weekend in an international game and is in a smash spot against the Patriots as he looks to show out in the country he grew up in.--Keith Hernandez

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Bhayshul Tuten (ankle, foot) was listed as a non-participant in Wednesday's practice, according to Ryan O'Halloran of The Florida Times-Union. Tuten was a game-time decision for last Thursday's win over the Baltimore Ravens, but he ultimately was active. However, he played a season-low 36% of the offensive snaps and tied a season low with 12 rushing attempts for only 29 yards. He did not have a target in the passing game for the first time all year, but he somewhat salvaged his fantasy day with his fourth rushing touchdown of the season. The 23-year-old's status is once again up in the air for the Jaguars' Week 10 divisional clash against the Tennessee Titans, although things could be cleared up in the next two days. Backfield mate Chris Rodriguez Jr. (hand) is also on the injury report this week due to a hand injury, but he was limited on Wednesday. Tuten has been a must-start in fantasy football lineups in 2026 as the Jags' top RB, but managers must be ready to pivot in case his ankle and foot injuries slow him down again or keep him out entirely against Tennessee. C-Rod would be a plug-and-play RB if Tuten is out or limited in Week 10.--Keith Hernandez

Houston Texans wide receiver Nico Collins has put together a productive 2026 campaign so far. He leads the Texans with 384 receiving yards and also leads the team in receiving touchdowns with four. Collins also ranks second on the team in receptions with 28, behind only tight end Dalton Schultz (35 receptions). Collins, who has drawn 39 total targets in 2026, missed two games earlier this season due to a hamstring injury. Most recently, Collins caught all four of his targets for 55 yards (13.8 yards per reception) and a touchdown in a 44-22 win over the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 9. Collins has recorded at least 55 receiving yards in six out of his seven appearances this season. According to RotoBaller, Collins averages 12.9 fantasy points per game in half-PPR scoring settings, ranking 13th in the NFL. Collins and the Texans have a matchup with the Cleveland Browns in Week 10. The Browns have one of the stoutest passing defenses in the NFL, allowing just 201.0 passing yards per game, which ranks sixth in the league. Still, RotoBaller ranks Collins as its No. 15 wide receiver for Week 10 (half-PPR), and he should safely remain in all starting lineups.--Ryan O'Bleness

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Jakobi Meyers (ankle) remains involved in the passing game each week. He ranks second on the team in receiving yards (354), tied for second in targets (37), third in receptions (26), and tied for third in touchdown receptions (two) in 2026. Meyers is behind only fellow wide receiver Parker Washington in yards and targets, and is behind Washington and tight end Brenton Strange in receptions. Most recently, Meyers earned six targets in a 33-10 win over the Baltimore Ravens in Week 9, and recorded four receptions for 65 yards (16.3 yards per catch). Meyers and the Jaguars get a Week 10 matchup with a Tennessee Titans defense that allows 258.3 passing yards per game, which ranks second-to-last in the NFL. The Titans also allow 24.9 points per game (22nd in the NFL). Meyers ranks as RotoBaller's No. 30 wide receiver for Week 10, and he has a favorable matchup against the Titans.--Ryan O'Bleness

It hasn't been the smoothest of starts to the NFL career of Tennessee Titans quarterback Cam Ward, who has a record of just 4-21 through his first 25 professional games, but Ward's most recent outing provided plenty of promise and showed off his talent. The Titans are coming off of a bye week in Week 9, but in a 43-36 overtime loss to the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 8, Ward set new career highs in passing yards (304) and rushing yards (41), while tying his career high in touchdown passes with two. Ward completed 26 out of 40 passing attempts (65%) against the Bengals, and averaged 7.6 yards per attempt. He also averaged 5.9 yards per carry on seven rushing attempts. Ward has a Week 10 matchup against a Jacksonville Jaguars defense that allows 229.0 passing yards per game (22nd in the NFL), but also only gives up 15.1 points per game (second in the league). Ward ranks as RotoBaller's No. 25 quarterback for Week 10.--Ryan O'Bleness

Green Bay Packers running back Pierre Strong Jr. could potentially see an uptick in his usage following a broken finger injury to starting running back Josh Jacobs. Strong led Green Bay's backfield in snaps played (30) in a 45-27 win over the New England Patriots in Week 9. Strong rushed eight times for 22 yards (2.8 yards per carry) and recorded two receptions for 11 yards (5.5 yards per reception). However, Strong was out-touched 14-to-10 by fellow tailback Kaleb Johnson, and Johnson was the preferred ball carrier with 14 carries for 68 yards (4.9 yards per carry) and a touchdown against the Patriots. With that said, Strong appeared to be favored on passing downs, as he was in on 15 passing plays compared to eight for Johnson, according to Pro Football Focus. Jacobs is expected to miss at least two to three weeks after breaking his right ring finger. Meanwhile, running back MarShawn Lloyd (knee) missed the game against the Patriots, but returned to practice on Wednesday without an injury designation ahead of a Week 10 contest against the Minnesota Vikings. Fellow tailback Chris Brooks (ankle) remains on injured reserve, but is designated to return, and he was a limited practice participant on Wednesday. Still, Strong should continue to see reps for the Packers with Jacobs out.--Ryan O'Bleness

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver De'Zhaun Stribling (ankle) remains on the Injured Reserve heading into the Week 10 matchup against the Dallas Cowboys. Stribling has been sidelined since needing surgery on his ankle following an injury during the season opener. There is little hope for Stribling playing in Week 10, but the 49ers didn't rule out opening his practice window at some point. The 49ers are willing to open his practice window if Stribling continues progressing. They could certainly use his help with how banged up the team is at wideout right now. It doesn't sound like he'll be ready soon, but fantasy managers shouldn't rule out Stribling returning before the end of the season.--Andy Webb

Green Bay Packers running back MarShawn Lloyd (knee) has been removed from the injury report ahead of the Week 10 matchup against the Minnesota Vikings. Lloyd will be back in the mix after missing last week's victory over the New England Patriots due to a knee injury. The expectation is that Lloyd will see increased reps with Josh Jacobs (finger) expected to miss multiple games. The Packers are likely going to use a committee approach, so Lloyd's overall fantasy value is tough to gauge. Fantasy managers should consider him a low-end flex option for a tough matchup against the Vikings in Week 10.--Andy Webb

New England Patriots wide receiver A.J. Brown (knee) was able to return to practice as a limited participant during Wednesday's practice. It's good to see Brown back at practice after he missed each of the last two games due to knee and ankle injuries. Head coach Mike Vrabel said that Brown will travel with the team to Munich for the Week 10 matchup against the Detroit Lions. It appears that Brown is trending in the right direction ahead of this contest. If active, Brown could be a legitimate WR2 option for fantasy managers this weekend against the struggling Lions secondary. Fantasy managers will need to continue monitoring his status throughout the week.--Andy Webb

Arizona Cardinals running back Bam Knight (concussion) was a limited participant during Wednesday's practice session. This is the first time that Knight has been able to practice at all since suffering a concussion in Week 8. He sat out during last week's loss to the Seattle Seahawks. He was wearing a yellow non-contact jersey during Wednesday's practice. He remains in concussion protocol, but it sounds like Knight is making progress. If healthy enough to play, Knight should be in a committee role with Tyler Allgeier for Sunday's Week 10 matchup against the Los Angeles Rams. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor Knight's status throughout the rest of the week.--Andy Webb

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Rashid Shaheed (knee) was a full participant during Wednesday's practice session. It's great to see Shaheed making progress after missing the last two games due to a knee injury. The hope is that Shaheed will be able to make his return to the field during this weekend's matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders. He hasn't played since suffering that knee injury against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 7. Shaheed should resume his role as the No. 1 wideout in Seattle, but that doesn't guarantee fantasy value. So far this season, Shaheed has recorded 16 receptions for 163 yards and zero touchdowns across seven games. He should be considered a WR4, assuming he does make his return to the field this weekend.--Andy Webb

New York Giants rookie kicker Dominic Zvada had a massive game in Week 9 and has solidified his status as the team's starting kicker moving forward. Zvada made 4 of 4 field goals, including two from 49 yards and one from 53 yards, and made his only extra point attempt in the 19-11 win over the Philadelphia Eagles. After missing five field goals in his previous three games, head coach John Harbaugh remained confident in the rookie, and he delivered in a big way in Week 9. He faces a Washington Commanders defense that has allowed the 12th most fantasy points to kickers this season. While rain and wind could be a factor in Week 10, Zvada offers starting value as a kicker against the Commanders.--Nathan Harvey

The New York Giants' defense has been on a hot streak heading into a Week 10 divisional clash. Last week, the Giants allowed just 11 points, forced one turnover, and recorded seven sacks in a 19-11 win over the Philadelphia Eagles. Despite losing star edge rusher Brian Burns early in the season, players such as Arvell Reese, Abdul Carter, and Greg Newsome II have stepped up and become key contributors on defense. They now face a Washington Commanders offense that ranks 21st in points per game (21.5) and 23rd in total yards (321.2) but has committed just five turnovers this season. Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels had success against New York in Week 5, leading Washington to 27 points in a 27-27 tie while taking care of the football. While the Giants D/ST remains a risky option against Daniels and the Commanders, their recent success makes it a low-end fantasy option in Week 10.--Nathan Harvey

New York Giants tight end Isaiah Likely will look to build on his breakout season in 2026. In Week 9, Likely hauled in five of six targets for 53 yards and a touchdown in the 19-11 win over the Philadelphia Eagles. The former Raven tight end has caught 46 passes for 448 yards and six touchdowns in eight games, already the most fantasy points he has scored in his NFL career. He faces a Washington Commanders defense that has allowed the second-most fantasy points to tight ends this season. In Week 5, Likely caught 11 passes for 94 yards and two touchdowns against this Commanders secondary. While rain could be a factor on Thursday night, Likely is a certified TE1 and should be started in all formats in Week 10.--Nathan Harvey

New York Giants wide receiver Malachi Fields is gaining momentum as he enters the backstretch of the 2026 season. In eight games, Fields has caught 19 of 35 targets for 288 yards and a touchdown, averaging 5.5 half-PPR fantasy points per game. In two starts with quarterback J.J. McCarthy, Fields has caught seven passes for 123 yards, solidifying his status as the clear WR2 ahead of veteran Darnell Mooney. The rookie receiver faces a Washington Commanders defense that has allowed the 11th most fantasy points to wide receivers this season. Rain is expected to be a factor in East Rutherford on Thursday night, which could limit the Giants' passing game despite a favorable matchup. Fields is best left on fantasy benches this week, though his WR2 role will be something to monitor in Week 10.--Nathan Harvey

New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers (knee) is off the injury report and slated to play in Week 10 against the Washington Commanders. Nabers has been on the injury report due to a knee issue stemming from his torn ACL, which he suffered in September 2025. Although the knee has cost him some practice time, he has not missed a beat on the field, hauling in 53 of 78 targets for 648 yards and two touchdowns in eight games this season. He faces a Commanders defense that has allowed the 11th most fantasy points to wide receivers this season. In Week 5, Nabers decimated this Commanders secondary, catching 11 passes for 121 yards and a touchdown in the 27-27 tie. Fantasy managers can start the star receiver without hesitation in Week 10, as he offers WR1 value against Washington.--Nathan Harvey

New York Giants running back Devin Singletary was inefficient in his first start of the 2026 season in Week 9. With second-year back Cam Skattebo (hamstring) inactive and Tyrone Tracy Jr. (hamstring) on injured reserve, Singletary had 21 carries and two receptions but managed just 39 scrimmage yards and no touchdowns in the 19-11 win over the Philadelphia Eagles. While Singletary had the opportunity to carve out a significant role in this Giants offense, his 1.5 yards-per-carry average in Week 9 didn't solidify his standing in the backfield, with Skattebo expected to play on Thursday. The Giants also face a Washington Commanders defense that has allowed the seventh-fewest fantasy points to running backs this season. As he returns to his backup role, Singletary is not startable in any formats against a tough matchup in Week 10.--Nathan Harvey

New York Giants running back Cam Skattebo (hamstring) is off the injury report and ready to play in Week 10 against the Washington Commanders. After a Week 7 hamstring strain that cost him one game, Skattebo was a full participant on Tuesday and is set to start on Thursday. In six full games this season, Skattebo has 98 carries for 418 yards and two touchdowns, plus 11 receptions for 76 yards. With Tyrone Tracy Jr. (hamstring) on injured reserve, Skattebo is set to carry the bulk of the workload. He faces a Commanders defense that has allowed the seventh-fewest fantasy points to running backs this season. While Washington ranks among the top defenses against the run, a heavy workload should put the second-year back in the RB2 discussion in fantasy for Week 10.--Nathan Harvey
