Deion Burks a Player to Watch as Playing Time Increases Starting in Week 10
Indianapolis rookie wide receiver Deion Burks has not produced much this season, but better days could be ahead as his role and playing time expand. The Colts traded away Josh Downs and Keenan Allen, so that opens the door for wide receivers to step up, and Burks could be one of those guys. He has just nine targets over nine games played so far, catching six for 60 yards. He's also gotten three rushing attempts, gaining 21 yards. He's logged just 15.6% of the team's offensive snaps so far, but that should change starting in Week 10. His matchup against the Dolphins is not a favorable one, so his fantasy outlook isn't very bright. He's listed as WR72 on our RotoBaller Week 10 projections, showing he's only an option in really deep leagues. He's one to keep tabs on moving forward though.

Ashton Dulin Eyes More Production as Role Expands in Week 10
Indianapolis wide receiver Ashton Dulin will take on a larger role for his team after Keenan Allen and Josh Downs were traded away. Despite that, Dulin is not a very big fantasy asset, especially because he's going into a tough fantasy test against the Dolphins in Week 10. Dulin has played in five games this season, and he has four receptions for 84 yards and a touchdown across nine targets. He has played just 21.9% of the team's offensive snaps so far. His role should expand, starting this week, but he's going to need to prove his worth before becoming a legit fantasy asset. Dulin is WR66 in our RotoBaller Week 10 projections, showing he's only an option in the deepest leagues out there.

Seth McGowan a Deep-League Option in Week 10 in Reserve Role
Indianapolis running back Seth McGowan is just a deep-league fantasy option due to Jonathan Taylor remaining with the team after the trade deadline. McGowan has carved out a decent offensive role though, carrying the ball 43 times for 208 yards and a touchdown so far, while also hauling in five of his six targets for nine yards. He has played 22.3% of the team's offensive snaps so far. Miami is a pretty favorable matchup for running backs, so McGowan has a little fantasy appeal, but just in deeper leagues. He's RB46 in our RotoBaller Week 10 projections, showing he's only startable in deeper setups. McGowan would only become a standard league option if Taylor were injured, so that's something to keep in mind, especially with the Colts' season fading away.

Laquon Treadwell Primed for Bigger Role Starting in Week 10
Indianapolis wide receiver Laquon Treadwell should have a bigger offensive role beginning in Week 10 against Miami, so his fantasy outlook improves a little bit. The Colts traded away Josh Downs and Keenan Allen, so there's a ton of snaps and production to replace, and Treadwell could be one of the beneficiaries. Over nine games so far, Treadwell has 16 receptions for 215 yards over 29 targets. He's played 76% of the team's offensive snaps. The matchup against the Dolphins is actually a tough one for fantasy wide receivers though. Treadwell is listed at WR49 in our RotoBaller Week 10 projections, showing he's just a deep-league option for this week. He's one to keep an eye on in case he steps into the WR1 role for Indianapolis.

Myles Garrett Questionable but Expected to Play on Sunday
Los Angeles Rams All-Pro pass-rusher Myles Garrett (knee) will be listed as questionable on the final injury report for Sunday's Week 10 game against the division-rival Arizona Cardinals, but he is feeling good and is expected to play, head coach Sean McVay told Sarah Barshop of ESPN. The 30-year-old made an immediate impact in the Week 9 win over the Washington Commanders after returning from Injured Reserve, picking up three sacks for the Rams. He continues to take it easy because of his knee in practice, but all signs point to Garrett being available for this weekend's game against the Cardinals, who are now down to rookie quarterback Carson Beck, who will be making his NFL debut in Week 10. Even if Garrett is not 100% with his knee on Sunday, he will be licking his chops to get to Beck and could easily have another multi-sack performance for fantasy managers in IDP leagues. The Rams defense is finally starting to hit its stride this year, and getting Garrett back is a big reason why. As long as he is active, as expected, he should be locked into all starting lineups in IDP formats.

Tyler Warren Eyes Big Fantasy Outing in Favorable Week 10 Matchup
Indianapolis tight end Tyler Warren is primed for a big fantasy showing in the team's Week 10 game against Miami. Not only are the Dolphins a favorable fantasy matchup for tight ends, but after the trades of Josh Downs and Keenan Allen, Warren should serve a big role in the passing game for the Colts. Across seven games so far, Warren has 275 receiving yards and two touchdowns on 38 receptions and 53 targets. He also has six rushing yards and a score across three carries. The tight end has underwhelmed for most of the season, but between the matchup and his outlook in his own offense, Warren is set up really well. He's listed as TE3 in our RotoBaller Week 10 projections, showing he's a quality starting option in all leagues.

Jonathan Taylor Set Up to Deliver Big in Week 10
Indianapolis running back Jonathan Taylor did not get traded away at the deadline, so he's back to being the workhorse back for his team. He's set up to deliver a big fantasy showing in a favorable matchup against the Dolphins in Week 10. Taylor's numbers have dipped the past couple of weeks, but that was likely due to him being part of trade discussions. Now in Indianapolis for the remainder of the season, fantasy owners should expect him to retain his workhorse role. He can deliver huge fantasy showings on big workloads again, but throwing in a favorable fantasy matchup should make him a very confident starting option for Week 10. He's RB11 in our RotoBaller Week 10 projections, showing he deserves a starting spot in all leagues.

Travis Etienne Jr. Questionable for Week 10
New Orleans Saints running back Travis Etienne Jr. (hamstring), who got through all three days of practice this week seemingly without issue, is officially questionable to return for the Week 10 game against the division-rival Carolina Panthers on Sunday. The Saints activated both rookie receiver Jordyn Tyson and Kelvin Banks from Injured Reserve last week, so they will have a similar decision to make on Etienne in Week 10. The 27-year-old has not played since injuring his hamstring in the Week 3 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders, but he could be back in the fold this weekend in the Big Easy if the Saints pull the trigger and activate him by Saturday's deadline. Etienne's return to New Orleans' backfield would make both veteran Alvin Kamara and Audric Estime less appealing as flex plays from a fantasy perspective, even if Etienne is eased back in. The Saints signed the former Jaguars RB to a four-year, $52 million deal in free agency in March to be their lead back going forward. In his first three games with the Saints, Etienne had 30 carries for 128 yards (4.3 yards per attempt) and no touchdowns. If he returns from IR to play this weekend, he will be on the RB2 radar in a strong matchup against Carolina.

Kenneth Walker Does Not Practice on Friday Due to Sore Groin
Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid said that running back Kenneth Walker (groin) did not practice on Friday after reporting a sore groin, according to Matt Derrick of ChiefsDigest.com. No decision has been made yet on Walker's availability for the Week 10 game on Sunday against the Atlanta Falcons. This is a big one. Late-week injuries are typically never a good sign, so Walker's status for Sunday's game in Atlanta could be up in the air. Fantasy managers who have Walker rostered or who are hurting at the RB position should run to the waiver wire immediately to see if rookie backup Emmett Johnson is available. If Walker is out or limited this weekend, Johnson would likely see the majority of backfield touches for the Chiefs in a good matchup. The 26-year-old Walker broke out of a mini-slump in last week's blowout win over the New York Jets, rushing the rock 18 times for 102 yards and a touchdown while also catching all four of his targets for 41 yards and two more touchdowns in the passing game. In his first year with the Chiefs as their unquestioned lead back, Walker has been a must-start RB1 on a weekly basis. Check back for more information on Walker's official Week 10 status on Friday.

David Montgomery Practicing Again Friday
Houston Texans running back David Montgomery (groin), who has missed the past three games with a groin injury, was back at practice on Friday after logging a limited participation on Thursday. Teammate Woody Marks (knee), averaging more than 78 total yards per game in his stead as the lead back, was also spotted back at practice after injuring his knee on Wednesday and missing Thursday's session. With a favorable Week 10 matchup against a Brown defense that has allowed the sixth most points above average to the running back position, either Montgomery or Marks would make for a strong start if given the backfield to themselves, but any potential split considerably lowers the ceiling of both. Through the first four weeks of the season, with both players at close to full health, Montgomery was the fantasy RB21, largely on the strength of a three-touchdown performance to open the year, while Marks trailed him as the RB33.

Woody Marks Returns to Practice Friday
Houston Texans running back Woody Marks (knee) was seen back at practice on Friday after injuring his knee on Wednesday and logging a DNP on Thursday. With veteran David Montgomery (groin) missing the past three games with a groin injury, Marks has served as the team's lead back, averaging 78.7 total yards per game. Houston faces a Browns defense in Week 10 that has given up the sixth most fantasy points above average to the running back position, but with Montgomery back at practice and Marks dealing with his own ailment, fantasy managers will need to check back for the release of the official injury report and could face a game-time decision ahead of what should be a favorable matchup.

Zachariah Branch Ruled Out for Week 10
Atlanta Falcons rookie wide receiver Zachariah Branch (hamstring) has been ruled out for this weekend's game against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 10, according to Marc Raimondi of ESPN. Branch has not played since suffering a hamstring injury in Week 8 in the loss to the division-rival Tampa Bay Buccaneers and will miss a second straight game this Sunday. The Falcons will go into their bye next week, so the 22-year-old third-rounder from Georgia will not return until at least the team's Week 12 game on the road against the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday, Nov. 29. In his absence for the second straight week, look for Olamide Zaccheaus to see the field more in Atlanta behind Drake London and Jahan Dotson, although he will not be on the fantasy radar as a starting option in most formats in Week 10 against KC. Branch has been barely used in the Falcons' offense in his first year in the NFL in 2026, catching just 10 of his 12 targets for 64 yards (6.4 yards per reception) and no touchdowns in eight games played. Because of his lack of a consistent role, Branch is really only worth stashing in dynasty/keeper leagues for the time being.

Israel Abanikanda to Serve as Cowboys RB2
Dallas Cowboys running back Israel Abanikanda has not played in an NFL game since his 2023 rookie season, but with Tyler Goodson (knee) expected to miss multiple weeks with the knee injury suffered in a Week 9 win over the Colts, the former fifth-round pick of the New York Jets is expected to serve as the primary backup to Javonte Williams. Currently the fantasy RB6, Williams has handled nearly a 76% running back rush share, and although Goodson has matched his efficiency with 4.1 yards per carry, the former Bronco trails only D'Andre Swift with nine rushing touchdowns. With Abanikanda unlikely to eat into his workload, either near the goal line or between the 20s, Williams is RotoBaller's RB7 ahead of a Week 10 matchup with the 49ers.

Denzel Boston Listed as Questionable
Cleveland Browns rookie wide receiver Denzel Boston (toe) returned to practice on Friday but is listed as questionable to play in Week 10 on Sunday against the hosting Houston Texans, according to Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN. Head coach Todd Monken said that Boston "moved around pretty good" in practice on Friday and is "trending in the right way" to play this weekend. The 22-year-old second-rounder from Washington picked up a toe injury in the Week 9 overtime loss to the New Orleans Saints last weekend and missed the first two practices of the week. His injury was downplayed earlier in the week, though, and the young pass-catcher appears to be on the right side of questionable for Week 10 action. In last week's loss to the Saints, Boston had six catches on seven targets for a season-high 98 receiving yards while working with quarterback Shedeur Sanders for the first time all year. The move back to Deshaun Watson under center this week after he missed Week 9 due to a concussion could be a concern for Boston's fantasy managers, as well as the less-than-appealing matchup against Houston's defense. Boston has a nice 32-507-3 line in his first nine NFL games, but he could be a boom/bust WR2/3 against the Texans if he is active on Sunday.

Puka Nacua Targeting a Mid-December Return
Los Angeles Rams All-Pro wide receiver Puka Nacua (knee, toe) was placed on injured reserve after suffering an MCL and PCL sprain, as well as turf toe, on the team's final offensive play of a Week 9 win over the Commanders, but NFL insider Ian Rapoport reports that he is targeting a mid-December return. While that timeline would afford him the chance to ramp up ahead of a potential Rams playoff run, it likely puts his return close to the start or even midway through the fantasy playoffs. The WR2 by points per game, Nacua is one of the few players reasonably capable of making an immediate fantasy impact following an injury of this nature, putting contending fantasy managers in a bind as to whether to hold him or flip him for more reliable production. The two-time Pro Bowler is RotoBaller's WR31 in rest-of-season rankings.

Denzel Boston Returns to Practice Friday
Cleveland Browns rookie wide receiver Denzel Boston (toe) returned to practice on Friday after missing the first two sessions of the week with a toe injury. Fantasy managers will need to monitor the team's official injury report for his level of participation, but his mere presence is an encouraging sign for his Week 10 availability. The 2026 second-round pick ranks first among rookie wide receivers by both receiving yards and touchdowns, and he once again makes for a strong flex play if he's able to suit up against a Texans defense that has been surprisingly vulnerable to outside receivers. With starting quarterback Deshaun Watson already confirmed as the Week 10 starter after missing the team's previous game with a concussion, Boston is RotoBaller's WR25.

Bam Knight Will be Good to Go vs. Rams
Arizona Cardinals running back Bam Knight (concussion) has no injury designation and will be good to go against the division-rival Los Angeles Rams in Week 10 on Sunday, according to Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic. Knight suffered a concussion in the Week 8 win over the Dallas Cowboys and did not play in last week's loss on the road against the division-rival Seattle Seahawks. With rookie first-rounder Jeremiyah Love (ankle) still on Injured Reserve, Knight will return this weekend and could take over lead-back duties from Tyler Allgeier. In the first matchup against the Rams in Week 6, Knight had a season-high 15 carries for 80 yards while adding two catches on two targets for 18 yards. Before suffering a concussion, Knight was the more effective back while sharing the workload with Allgeier. Albeit in a bad matchup against a Rams defense that is starting to hit its stride, Knight will be a flex option in deeper leagues at the RB position in what will likely be a timeshare with Allgeier. RotoBaller has him ranked as the No. 40 fantasy RB in Week 10. Knight has been very efficient with limited touches this year, gaining 168 yards on 28 rushing attempts (6.0 yards per carry), but he has yet to find the end zone.

Xavier Legette Questionable vs. Saints
Carolina Panthers wide receiver Xavier Legette (knee) is listed as questionable to play on Sunday in Week 10 against the division-rival New Orleans Saints, according to The Athletic's Joe Person. Legette was listed as a full participant in Thursday's practice, so he should be on the right side of questionable to come off Injured Reserve on Saturday and play on Sunday in New Orleans. The 25-year-old former first-rounder in 2024 has played in only two games so far in his third year in the NFL due to his knee injury. Before his injury, he was serving as the WR3 for Carolina behind Tetairoa McMillan and Jalen Coker, leading to just two receptions on six targets for 64 yards. Legette has been a major disappointment for the Panthers early in his career, catching 86 of his 154 targets for 924 yards (10.7 yards per reception) and seven touchdowns in 33 games played, and as long as McMillan and Coker stay healthy, he will have limited fantasy upside as a deep-league stash for WR depth. Legette is not currently rostered in any Yahoo leagues, and he will not be a recommended flex play in deeper leagues this weekend if he is active versus the Saints.

Jonathon Brooks Doubtful vs. Saints
Carolina Panthers running back Jonathon Brooks (abdomen), who remains on Injured Reserve, is listed as doubtful to play in Week 10 on Sunday against the division-rival New Orleans Saints, according to Joe Person of The Athletic. Brooks took scout-team reps at practice on Wednesday and Thursday but was erroneously listed as a full participant. Instead, Brooks was limited, and he is unlikely to come off IR on Saturday and play on Sunday in New Orleans. It means that he most likely will not return from IR until next week at home against the Baltimore Ravens in Week 11. The 23-year-old former second-rounder from Texas has had trouble staying healthy in his NFL career, playing in just five games since being drafted in 2024. He has only played in two games for the Panthers in 2026 due to a core-muscle injury, and he has only nine rushing attempts for 30 yards while catching two passes for 43 yards in the passing game. When healthy, he should return as the change-of-pace backfield complement to starting RB Chuba Hubbard in Carolina's passing game, making him a PPR stash at the running back position as he nears his return from IR. Hubbard will have another opportunity to dominate the touches for the Panthers this weekend against the Saints.

Garrett Wilson Expected to Clear Concussion Protocol to Face Bills
New York Jets head coach Aaron Glenn said he expects wide receiver Garrett Wilson (head) to clear the league's concussion protocol and play on Sunday against the division-rival Buffalo Bills in Week 10, according to Myles Simmons of Pro Football Talks. "I see that happening," Glenn said. Wilson apparently has just one more step of the concussion protocol to clear before being given the green light to suit up on Sunday after he missed last week's loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. When healthy in 2026, he has been the team's top pass-catcher, with 43 catches for 527 yards and three touchdowns, so if he is active this weekend, Wilson should be returned to all starting fantasy lineups in a plus matchup against Buffalo's secondary. Wilson's return will be bad news for both Adonai Mitchell and rookie first-rounder Omar Cooper Jr. (ankle), who have both been extremely hit or miss in the last couple of weeks as flex plays for fantasy managers. In his last game in the Week 8 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders, Wilson caught six of 12 targets for 83 yards. He has double-digit targets in three games this year and already has two 100-yard performances as he works with veteran quarterback Geno Smith.
