Caleb Douglas Remains Worthwhile Streaming Option
Miami wide receiver Caleb Douglas put together one of his better showings of the season in Week 9, and that keeps him as a deep-league starting option and potential standard league streamer for Week 10 and beyond. He got a season-high eight targets against the Lions, catching six to set another season high. Douglas went for 70 yards, a mark he's now reached three times over five games played. He has 296 receiving yards and two touchdowns over 19 receptions and 27 targets this season. Douglas might not be the flashiest fantasy option, but he's delivering enough on a weekly basis to keep turning to in deeper fantasy setups. For fantasy owners in standard leagues lacking quality wide receivers, he's a streaming option every week.

Keon Coleman Worth Monitoring as Potential Waiver Addition
Buffalo Bills wide receiver Keon Coleman (shoulder) is set to play Monday night against Minnesota after being limited in practice during the week. Coleman caught one pass for four yards against Baltimore in Week 8, despite playing 63 snaps. He has 20 catches for 287 yards and three touchdowns in seven games, but hasn't seen enough consistent targets to become a reliable fantasy option. Joshua Palmer (hamstring) is out Monday, which could open up more opportunities for Coleman. He'll still have to compete for targets with DJ Moore, who drew seven looks against Baltimore. Coleman is available in most fantasy leagues and is worth considering as a bench stash, especially if he sees more involvement against Minnesota. His performance on Monday should help managers decide whether to put in a claim this week.

Adonai Mitchell Still Worth a Look on Waivers
New York Jets wide receiver Adonai Mitchell failed to catch any of his seven targets in Sunday's 35-12 loss to Kansas City. The disappointing outing followed a breakout Week 8 performance against Las Vegas, when he caught seven passes for 142 yards and a touchdown. Mitchell continues to see opportunities with Garrett Wilson (concussion) sidelined, but his production has been inconsistent. His seven targets Sunday are encouraging for fantasy managers considering a waiver claim, even if the results weren't. Mitchell remains a speculative addition in deeper leagues ahead of Week 10 against Buffalo. Managers should monitor Wilson's health throughout the week, as his return would likely reduce Mitchell's opportunities in the passing game.

Chig Okonkwo a Rising Asset After Productive Week 9 Outing
Washington tight end Chig Okonkwo put together another solid performance in Week 9, so he should gain some more fantasy football value going into Week 10. He caught six of his seven targets this week, racking up 57 receiving yards. Okonkwo has three or more targets in all six games he's played in this season, but has produced more of late, with 57 or more receiving yards in three of his past four appearances. Okonkwo has yet to find the end zone this season, so that holds him back from being an even bigger fantasy option. With wide receiver Terry McLaurin (knee) no longer around, Okonkwo has a chance to remain as involved as he's been these past few weeks, and that makes him a deep-league starting option and a possible standard league streamer.

Antonio Williams Holds Value Despite So-So Week 9 Showing
Washington wide receiver Antonio Williams remains an intriguing fantasy football asset after what he did in Week 9. It was more about his usage than his actual production. Williams played 52 offensive snaps, which was the most he's logged so far this season across eight games - that was 83.9% of the team's total, which was also a season-high mark for him. Williams only turned that into three catches for 25 yards, but he got six targets. He has 13 targets over the past two weeks, so he could have a solid offensive role with Terry McLaurin (knee) out for the season. Williams is a better deep-league option until his production on the field picks up, but his usage and statistics over the past two weeks are positive, so don't write him off.

Corey Kiner Could Lead Patriots Backfield in Week 10
New England Patriots running back Corey Kiner carried eight times for 55 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 45-27 loss to Green Bay. Kiner took on a larger role after Rhamondre Stevenson (knee) left in the second half, finishing with a team-high 6.9 yards per carry. TreVeyon Henderson (illness) was also unavailable, leaving New England thin at running back. Kiner did much of his damage late in the loss, so his workload is still something to watch. Lan Larison could also see touches, especially on passing downs. With the Patriots facing Detroit in Week 10, Kiner could be in line for a starting role if Stevenson and Henderson remain out. That possibility makes him one of the more interesting running backs to target on waivers this week.

Ryan Flournoy Remains a Speculative Fantasy Stash
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Ryan Flournoy caught two of three targets for 53 yards in Sunday's 27-23 victory over Indianapolis. Most of his production came on a 46-yard reception that helped set up Dallas' game-winning touchdown. Despite George Pickens (hamstring) missing the contest, Flournoy struggled to earn consistent targets as CeeDee Lamb remained the focal point of the passing attack. Tight end Jake Ferguson (knee) also exited in the third quarter, potentially creating another opportunity for Flournoy if he misses time. The 26-year-old could see more targets depending on both players' health, but Sunday's limited involvement makes him hard to trust in fantasy lineups. Flournoy remains a speculative stash in deeper leagues heading into Week 10 against San Francisco.

Kaleb Johnson Worth Adding in More Fantasy Leagues After Week 9
Green Bay running back Kaleb Johnson is worth some speculative adds in deeper fantasy football leagues after what happened in Week 9. He rushed for 68 yards and a touchdown across 14 carries. That was easily his best performance of the season, and he has just 172 rushing yards and the score over 42 attempts overall - he has one catch across three targets for 10 yards. Another thing working in his favor is that Josh Jacobs (finger) was injured, opening the chance for Johnson to pick up more offensively going forward. Things could change if the Packers swing a trade for a running back, but Johnson is worth adding in case the team sticks with its current stable of running backs.

Seth McGowan's Fantasy Value Hinges on Potential Trade
Indianapolis Colts rookie running back Seth McGowan had six carries for 45 yards and a touchdown, along with one reception for minus-three yards in the 27-23 loss to the Dallas Cowboys. As McGowan continues to carve out a role behind starting Jonathan Taylor, the rookie scored his first career touchdown from two yards out. Taylor has been involved in trade talks, and he said postgame, "I just hope that they appreciate and know that I appreciate them and it was a pleasure to put on display not only my hard work but the team's hard work each and every single week, each and every single year. Just know it was a pleasure." If Taylor is dealt prior to Tuesday's deadline, McGowan should factor in as a low-end RB2, assuming no other backs are traded to Indianapolis. McGowan's value hinges on a Taylor trade, as he doesn't offer enough value as a handcuff in this struggling offensive attack.

Kaelon Black Continues to Carve Out Backfield Role
San Francisco 49ers rookie running back Kaelon Black had 11 carries for 70 yards in the 38-17 win over the Las Vegas Raiders. While starter Christian McCaffrey played and produced again, the rookie continues to factor in, totaling 33 touches over his last three games. In eight games this season, Black has 68 carries for 303 yards and a touchdown, with minimal production in the receiving game. Although McCaffrey is on pace for another elite season, his injury history and heavy workload raise concerns about his overall fantasy value. At this point, Black is a low-end FLEX play at best, but he should be rostered as one of the best handcuff options among backup running backs.

Giants Trading for Jonathan Taylor Would Be a "Surprise"
According to ESPN's Jordan Raanan, it would be a surprise if the New York Giants traded for star running back Jonathan Taylor. Raanan notes that the interior defensive line is a higher priority for the Giants than the running back position. Over the weekend, it was reported that the Giants offered a second- and a fifth-round pick for Taylor, but the Colts declined. Taylor has totaled 161 carries for 656 yards, with eight touchdowns, and has added 26 receptions for 220 yards. He has been involved in trade talks over the past few weeks and even hinted at a trade in his postgame press conference, saying, "I just hope that they appreciate and know that I appreciate them." With the Giants appearing to be out of the mix, Taylor's situation should continue to be evaluated before Tuesday's deadline.

Emmett Johnson Finds End Zone in Week 9, Remains a Top Handcuff Option
Kansas City Chiefs rookie running back Emmett Johnson had six carries for 34 yards and a touchdown in the Chiefs' 35-12 win over the New York Jets. The rookie running back continues to produce efficient numbers in 2026, averaging 8.7 yards per touch and breaking a tackle on every 8.7 carries, which ranks behind only Jaylen Warren. While Johnson has been so productive that he would likely be a starting back on over half the teams in the NFL, he's behind the league's leading rusher, Kenneth Walker III. Walker had another huge outing, totaling 143 scrimmage yards and scoring three touchdowns on 22 attempts. With Walker handling the majority of the work in the backfield, Johnson still only factors in as a backup. Fantasy managers should still target Johnson if he's available on the waiver wire, as he should continue to be one of the most productive backup running backs in the league.

Javonte Williams Bounces Back Against Colts
Dallas Cowboys running back Javonte Williams had 20 carries for 101 yards and a touchdown, along with four receptions for 23 yards in the 27-23 win over the Indianapolis Colts. After struggling in Week 8's loss to the Arizona Cardinals, the Cowboys' run game was the difference in Week 9, with Williams and backup Tyler Goodson combining for 201 scrimmage yards. The sixth-year back has now totaled 154 carries for 629 yards with nine touchdowns, while adding 24 receptions for 127 yards and a touchdown. He is now the RB8 in half-PPR formats, averaging 16.4 fantasy points per game this season. While there was a more balanced backfield, fantasy managers can still start Williams as an RB1 moving forward.

Jessie Bates III Traded to Jaguars
The Atlanta Falcons have traded star free safety Jessie Bates III to the Jacksonville Jaguars, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. The Jaguars are receiving Bates in exchange for a 2027 second-round pick and a 2028 fifth-round pick. Bates signed with the Falcons in 2023 and has recorded 392 tackles, 14 interceptions, and four touchdowns in 60 games with the team. He had 14 tackles in the 34-17 loss to the Bengals in Week 9, his season high. As he heads to Jacksonville, he will fill in as the Jaguars' starting free safety ahead of Antonio Johnson, who has struggled against the pass this season. Bates will also look to compete for a Super Bowl with the Jaguars, who sit atop the AFC South with a 6-2 record.

Shedeur Sanders Solid in Overtime Loss
Cleveland Browns quarterback Shedeur Sanders completed 19 of 31 passes for 297 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 23-22 loss to the New Orleans Saints. He added 28 yards on 10 carries. Sanders was decent in relief of teammate Deshaun Watson (concussion) in Week 9. The second-year pro made some nice decisions and reads, but also fired a few misthrows as well. He notably underthrew both rookie wide receivers K.C. Concepcion Jr. (ankle) and Denzel Boston on wide-open deep attempts. However, both plays had positive outcomes due to outstanding effort by the wideout. All in all, it was a solid outing with no turnovers, while Sanders' rushing attempts were a career high. For now, Watson is expected to regain his starting role once he's cleared from a concussion, though it will be a situation to monitor until head coach Todd Monken gives definitive direction for their next game. Cleveland will face the visiting Houston Texans in Week 10.

Efton Chism III Stays Involved Despite Teammate's Return
New England Patriots wide receiver Efton Chism III reeled in all five of his targets for 49 yards and a touchdown in his team's 45-27 loss to the visiting Green Bay Packers. Chism snagged his second touchdown of the season late in the first half when he feigned a block and leaked out of the backfield for an easy eight-yard pitch-and-catch. Teammate Mack Hollins returned in Week 9, cutting into the 25-year-old's playing time. However, it didn't matter, as the latter tied fellow wideout DeMario Douglas for the team lead in receptions with his second straight appearance of five grabs. While quarterback Drake Maye has done well to spread the ball around, Chism has come on over the last few weeks as a solid red zone target. In fact, he leads all Patriots WRs with five opportunities inside the 20-yard line, and holds decent PPR upside despite a seemingly part-time role in the attack. New England sports a favorable draw the next time they take the field against the Detroit Lions in Germany.

Colston Loveland's Volume Cools Off in Final Game Before Bye Week
Chicago Bears tight end Colston Loveland caught four of his six targets for 54 yards during Sunday's Week 9 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Loveland played 86% of the snaps, and he came just six yards shy of extending his streak of double-digit fantasy points (PPR) to four games. Even though he didn't quite hit that benchmark, most fantasy managers will be okay with Loveland's performance. It's a whole lot better than how he was performing at the start of the year, and he should have no trouble bouncing back as a mid-range TE1 when the Bears return to action on the other side of their bye against the Lions in Week 11. There's also an outside chance that he could be headed for a larger target share if wide receiver Luther Burden III (concussion) is unable to clear concussion protocol by the time the Bears step back on the field two weeks from now.

Rome Odunze Finds the End Zone, Could be Headed for Larger Role
Chicago Bears wide receiver Rome Odunze caught four of his seven targets for 60 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's Week 9 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Odunze played 83.6% of the snaps in the victory, which is a very interesting data point, considering that he had not previously played less than 90% of the snaps in a single game since Week 4. The slight reduction in snaps didn't seem to have any sort of negative effect on Odunze, who has firmly established himself as a high-end WR3/flex with high-end WR2 upside. He could also be headed for a higher ceiling temporarily if Luther Burden III (concussion) misses extended time. The Bears are on bye in Week 10 before returning to action against the Detroit Lions in Week 11.

Omarion Hampton Leads the Way in Losing Effort
Los Angeles Chargers running back Omarion Hampton totaled 60 scoreless yards on his 13 carries in the team's 44-22 home loss to the Houston Texans. He was not targeted in the passing game for the first time since Week 1. The second-year pro's box score isn't too useful for fantasy. That said, it's the first time in a few games for LA that a member of the backfield committee separated themselves considerably in the carry total. Hampton's 13 totes nearly matched teammates Kimani Vidal and Keaton Mitchell combined (14). Moreover, Hampton looked explosive on a highlight 32-yard run. It isn't much to go on, but a little bit of touch consolidation here could go a long way for the 23-year-old. Unfortunately, a wait-and-see approach is best for now, but there's at least a little life after a decent workload. Hampton will look to build on the solid outing in Week 10 against a formidable Baltimore Ravens rush defense in primetime.

Emeka Egbuka Falls Short of Expectations in Week 9
Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Emeka Egbuka caught three of his five targets for 38 yards during Sunday's Week 9 loss against the Chicago Bears. Fantasy managers were hoping Egbuka would take the next step into the No. 1 receiver role this season with Mike Evans gone, but so far, the Ohio State product has shown no indication that he can be a consistent alpha receiver in this Bucs offense. Unfortunately for Tampa Bay, Chris Godwin Jr. has also been disappointing, leaving no clear answer for the team in their request to replace Evans. If there's any sort of light at the end of the tunnel, it's the fact that the Bucs face some very weak pass defenses on the other side of their Week 10 bye, including the Lions, Panthers, Chargers, and Ravens. Egbuka may be able to salvage his fantasy appeal for the time being because of his solid road ahead.
