Tre Tucker a Risky Flex Option At Best for Week 10 0mLink copied!

Nov 13, 2026, 6:11 PM ET

Las Vegas Raiders tight end Michael Mayer has been a productive secondary TE this season, but faces a tall task against the Seattle Seahawks in Week 10. The 25-year-old has caught 84.8% of his targets for 388 yards and one touchdown this season, continuing to get regular work even after Brock Bowers returned from injury in Week 3 and became the passing game's focal point. That being said, things get tricky against a Seahawks defense that is allowing 12.2 average yards to tight ends per game. Seattle also hasn't allowed a tight end touchdown since Trey McBride hauled in a score in Week 2, and he fared the best against the Seahawks with eight catches for 41 yards. Plus, it's unclear how much Mayer's target share will change since Kirk Cousins was traded to the Vikings and Fernando Mendoza is making his first professional start. RotoBaller ranks Mayer TE27, and he is a deep-league TE2 option only in Week 10.--Chelena Goldman

Cincinnati Bengals kicker Evan McPherson will face the Pittsburgh Steelers at home in Week 10. McPherson made both of his field goal attempts and all five extra-point attempts in last week's win to continue his streak of perfection in 2026. The Bengals kicker has still not missed a single kick this season, nailing all 12 field goal attempts and all 28 extra-point attempts. McPherson will have the opportunity to extend his streak against the Steelers this week. In an important AFC North division matchup with a nearly 50-point over/under, McPherson could be called upon to deliver some important kicks. McPherson is ranked K6 in our RotoBaller Week 10 rankings, making him one of the most valuable kickers this week.--Joshua Costello

San Francisco 49ers veteran wide receiver Deebo Samuel Sr. (hamstring) is good to go and does not have an injury designation for the Week 10 game this Sunday against the Dallas Cowboys, according to Nick Wagoner of ESPN. Samuel is returning for the first time since suffering a right-hamstring injury in the Week 5 win over the division-rival Seattle Seahawks, and with Mike Evans (Achilles) missing another game, the 30-year-old could jump right back into a key role in the 49ers' passing attack alongside newcomer Keenan Allen in Dallas. His return, along with the acquisition of Allen, is bad news for Jordan Watkins, who had an elevated role in last week's win over the Las Vegas Raiders with both Samuel and Evans sidelined. The 49ers could ease Samuel back into the fold following a multi-week absence, but the matchup against the Cowboys' shaky defense may be too hard to pass up for fantasy managers this weekend. RotoBaller has the veteran wideout ranked as the No. 24 fantasy WR for Week 10 in his return. The former Pro Bowler has caught 16 of his 20 targets for 206 yards and three touchdowns in his first five games in his return to the Bay Area in 2026, adding nine rushing attempts for an additional 79 yards on the ground. There will be worse WR2/3 options than Samuel in Week 10.--Keith Hernandez

Tight end Brock Bowers is the Las Vegas Raiders' best fantasy asset as they prepare to host a stingy Seattle Seahawks defense in Week 10. The 23-year-old has been a consistent bright spot for the Raiders even when they lose, hauling in 48 receptions for 658 yards and six touchdowns through seven games played in 2026. He lost a fumble in Week 9, but still finished the day catching seven of eight targets for 11 yards and hauling in a touchdown. Bowers faces his greatest test yet in the visiting Seahawks, who have allowed just 12.2 yards per game to tight ends. Seattle leads the league with 155.9 passing yards per game overall, making for an intriguing matchup against rookie quarterback Fernando Mendoza in his first career start. Still, Bowers is expected to remain the top receiving target. He continues to be a must-start fantasy option as the Raiders kick off the Mendoza era against a tough opponent.--Chelena Goldman

Cincinnati Bengals tight end Mike Gesicki caught two passes for 11 yards in last week's 34-17 victory over the Atlanta Falcons. Before Week 9, Gesicki had reeled off five straight games with a touchdown. The Bengals tight end will have the opportunity to bounce back against the Pittsburgh Steelers this week. The Steelers have a strong pass rush and run defense, but struggle to cover tight ends in the middle of the field. If the Bengals are unable to find success on the ground and the pass rush is getting to quarterback Joe Burrow, Gesicki could be peppered with targets in the short and intermediate parts of the field. Gesicki is also a threat to find the end zone in any given week, as shown by his six touchdowns in eight games. Gesicki is ranked TE16 in our RotoBaller Week 10 PPR rankings, making him a TE2 option this week.--Joshua Costello

Las Vegas Raiders running back Mike Washington Jr. is coming off a rough Week 9 performance, and it won't get any easier for him in Week 10 against the Seattle Seahawks. The rookie has been inheriting more work from struggling back Ashton Jeanty, but was heavily stymied by the 49ers in Week 9 and ended the day with six carries for -5 yards. He will now get a taste of Seattle's top-ranked defense, which is allowing just 21.7 yards per running back per game this season. Washington's workload could still be high given that fellow rookie Fernando Mendoza is making his first career start and the passing game will also be heavily tested. Still, this isn't a matchup fantasy managers should be leaning on in Week 10, especially since Mendoza could opt to run the ball himself at times. Washington is a deep-league-only option against a brutal Seahawks defense.--Chelena Goldman

Cincinnati Bengals running back Samaje Perine will face the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 10. Perine handled 11 carries for 43 yards in last week's 34-17 win over the Atlanta Falcons. Perine actually had more carries than Chase Brown last week, but averaged fewer yards per carry with his opportunities. Perine was also not targeted in the passing game in Week 9. With the Bengals taking on a tough Steelers defense, Perine's involvement in the offense could be diminished this week. The Pittsburgh defense is especially strong against running backs, so the Bengals could opt to be even more pass-heavy this week and funnel their offense through the wide receivers and Chase Brown, who is the pass-catching threat out of the backfield. Perine is ranked RB42 in our RotoBaller Week 10 rankings, making him a deeper league flex option this week.--Joshua Costello

Cincinnati Bengals running back Chase Brown will face the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday night in Week 10. Brown rushed nine times for 57 yards and caught three passes for 18 yards in last week's win over the Atlanta Falcons. Brown once again split work with running back Samaje Perine, who handled 11 carries for 43 yards in the contest. The good news is Brown was more efficient with his carries and was still involved as a pass catcher despite the split. The bad news is the Steelers defense is very tough on running backs this season. With him splitting work and the strength of the Pittsburgh defense, Brown could find very little success between the tackles this week. Brown could still be heavily utilized as a pass catcher if the Steelers' pass rush puts pressure on quarterback Joe Burrow throughout the contest. Brown is ranked RB14 in our RotoBaller Week 10 PPR rankings, making him a strong RB2 option this week.--Joshua Costello

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins caught five passes for 32 yards and two touchdowns in last week's 34-17 victory over the Atlanta Falcons. After reeling off back-to-back games with over 145 receiving yards in Weeks 8 and 9, Higgins fell back to Earth with just 32 yards. He was able to salvage his fantasy performance with the scores, so managers should be encouraged that he was still heavily involved in the red zone. Fellow receiver Ja'Marr Chase went off last week while Higgins fell by the wayside from a yardage perspective; there are more than enough opportunities for both receivers to go off any given week. Higgins will have the chance to bounce back this week against their AFC North rivals, the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Steelers offer a strong pass rush, but a beatable secondary so Higgins should be able to find success against them. Higgins is ranked WR5 in our RotoBaller Week 10 PPR rankings, making him a high-end option at the wide receiver position this week.--Joshua Costello

Las Vegas Raiders running back Ashton Jeanty is having a challenging season, and he won't get any relief in Week 10 against a stingy Seattle Seahawks defense. The 22-year-old continues to mix short-pass duties with the run game, but has disappointed fantasy managers overall as his efficiency declines and he loses some of his workload to Mike Washington Jr. In Week 9, Jeanty had six carries for 25 yards and caught five of seven targets for negative ground in a loss to the San Francisco 49ers. He and the Raiders now face Seattle's top-ranked defense that has allowed just 21.7 yards per running back per game through Week 9. Jeanty's contributions to the passing game will also be stymied, especially since Fernando Mendoza is making his first career start. Not to mention that Mendoza is younger than Kirk Cousins and may opt to run the ball himself. Jeanty is a risky low-end RB2 for a difficult Week 10 matchup.--Chelena Goldman

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase will face the Pittsburgh Steelers at home this Sunday night. After a relatively slow start to the season, Chase has turned it up to 11 in his last two games. After catching 11 passes for 141 yards and a touchdown in Week 8, the superstar receiver followed it up with 10 catches for 155 yards and a touchdown last week. Chase has been one of the most productive wide receivers since he entered the league, and he was bound to start reeling off week-winning performances. The Steelers feature a solid secondary, but not one strong enough to contain Chase by any means. The Pittsburgh pass rush may be able to get to quarterback Joe Burrow in this game, but as long as he stays upright, he should be throwing the ball downfield to his favorite target. Chase is ranked WR3 in our RotoBaller Week 10 PPR rankings, making him one of the top options at receiver this week.--Joshua Costello

Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Fernando Mendoza will be tested in his first career start in Week 10 against the Seattle Seahawks. There is plenty of excitement for the reigning Heisman Trophy winner and first overall draft pick to get his first NFL start after Kirk Cousins was traded to the Minnesota Vikings at the deadline. However, Mendoza has played in just one game this season, completing six of eight pass attempts for 48 yards with no touchdowns. He now faces the top-ranked defense in the league, which has held opposing quarterbacks to 155.1 passing yards per game. The Seahawks have also allowed just nine touchdowns in the air through Week 9, holding two of their last three opponents (the Chiefs and the Cardinals) without a passing touchdown. Mendoza may have a lot going for him in Klint Kubiak's system, but fantasy managers shouldn't rush to start him in standard leagues until he gets more games under his belt. He is a solid deep-league stash and a viable superflex in 2-QB formats, but still a risky asset given his limited track record.--Chelena Goldman

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow will take on the Pittsburgh Steelers at home this Sunday night. Burrow and the Bengals have been on quite the heater over the past month, rattling off four straight wins and scoring over 30 points in every game. The superstar quarterback has been especially hot as he's thrown 16 touchdowns and passed for 1,215 yards in that span, averaging four passing touchdowns and over 303 passing yards a game. Burrow will now face a tough Steelers defense as the teams battle it out for first place in the AFC North division. The Pittsburgh defense features a fierce pass rush and a solid secondary, but Burrow has been playing too well to even think about sitting him this week. Burrow is ranked QB3 in our RotoBaller Week 10 rankings, making him a must-start option at the position this Sunday night.--Joshua Costello

Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker will face the Atlanta Falcons on the road in Week 10. Butker's struggles continued in last week's win as he missed his only field goal attempt. The Chiefs kicker has now missed seven of his 19 field goal attempts, bringing his field goal percentage down to a career-low 63.2%, which ranks 36th in the league. The only positive of note is that Butker nailed all five of his extra-point attempts, but he's consistently leaving points off the board for Kansas City. While the Chiefs are projected to be road favorites with a high-scoring total, it is nearly impossible to trust Butker in fantasy lineups right now. Butker is ranked K18 in our RotoBaller Week 10 rankings, making him a low-end option for deep leagues.--Joshua Costello

San Francisco 49ers veteran wide receiver Mike Evans (Achilles) has officially been ruled out for the Week 10 contest on Sunday on the road against the Dallas Cowboys, according to Matt Lively of CBS Sports. Evans will miss a third straight game due to a right-Achilles injury that he picked up in the Week 6 win over the Washington Commanders. The good news for the 49ers and fantasy managers is that head coach Kyle Shanahan said this week that the 33-year-old future Hall of Famer is "real close" to returning and likely would have played this week if it were a playoff contest. The 49ers will also be getting veteran Deebo Samuel Sr. (hamstring) back for the first time since Week 5, and they added Keenan Allen in a trade from the Indianapolis Colts on Tuesday, so there is less urgency to rush Evans back before he is fully healed. The six-time Pro Bowler and former Super Bowl champion with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers will certainly have more competition for targets in the team's passing game when he returns, possibly in Week 11 against the Minnesota Vikings, but he should still be heavily targeted as one of quarterback Brock Purdy's favorite weapons. Evans has more injury risk than ever as he nears the end of his career, but he has been solid when active in his first year in the Bay Area, catching 27 of 39 targets for 420 yards and three touchdowns.--Keith Hernandez

The Kansas City Chiefs defense will head to Atlanta to take on the Falcons in Week 10. The Chiefs are coming off a 35-12 victory over the New York Jets last week. In Week 9, the Kansas City defense sacked quarterback Geno Smith five times and recovered a fumble while allowing just 229 total yards of offense. The Chiefs should be able to find similar success against the Falcons and quarterback Michael Penix on the road this week. Penix completed one touchdown pass and has thrown five interceptions across his last two games. Mansoor Delane may also be returning from a shoulder injury this week to help the team's secondary. The Chiefs defense is set up nicely to continue being fantasy relevant. The Kansas City defense is ranked eighth in our RotoBaller Week 10 rankings, making them a top-10 unit this Sunday.--Joshua Costello

Kansas City Chiefs running back Emmett Johnson could take on a much larger role this Sunday as the team heads to Atlanta to face the Falcons. Johnson rushed six times for 34 yards and a touchdown against the New York Jets last week. The rookie has had at least six opportunities and a touchdown in back-to-back weeks and those opportunities could go up this week. Chiefs RB1 Kenneth Walker arrived at the practice facility on Friday complaining of groin tightness and did not practice. While the move could be precautionary, Johnson could end up being the lead back this weekend if Walker is unable to go. As of Friday, Walker is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's contest. The rookie has been electric in his limited opportunities this season, especially as a pass catcher, and he could have the opportunity to go off against a soft Falcons rush defense. Johnson is among the league leaders in forced missed tackles on a per-touch basis, a trait that he excelled at in college at Nebraska. If Walker is ruled out this Sunday, Johnson should be considered an absolute must-start and would likely rank as a low-end RB1/high-end RB2.--Joshua Costello
