CeeDee Lamb's Target Volume Holds Up Against San Francisco
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb has drawn 20 red-zone targets through nine games, a source of scoring chances against a defense that has held wide receivers to 27.2 PPR points per game as a group. San Francisco gave up 73 yards to Raiders wideouts last week, with Tre Tucker accounting for 55. Lamb is still a WR1 and sits at WR2 in RotoBaller's weekend PPR rankings. At Indianapolis, he caught 10 of 16 targets for 195 yards and a touchdown. He scored from 44 yards out to cap a 75-yard drive in the final minute of the first half. That was his fourth straight game with double-digit targets and brought his season total to 108. George Pickens (hamstring) is back after a limited Thursday and full Friday, with no game designation. Lamb's last game alongside Pickens was also his lowest yardage total over the past four weeks. He turned 11 targets into seven catches for 58 yards against Arizona, good for 12.8 PPR points even on a day when Dak Prescott threw for just 195 yards.

Dak Prescott Remains a QB1 Against San Francisco
Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott gets George Pickens (hamstring) back for Sunday's game against San Francisco. Pickens was limited Thursday, practiced fully Friday and carries no game designation. Prescott threw for 335 yards and two touchdowns without him at Indianapolis. His two longest completions went to different receivers, with CeeDee Lamb gaining 48 yards and Ryan Flournoy's 46-yard catch setting up the winning score. San Francisco picked off Kirk Cousins three times in Week 9 without recording a sack. The Raiders got 148 yards on 10 catches from their tight ends, while their wide receivers combined for 73 yards. Dallas will face that defense without tight end Jake Ferguson (knee, ankle), who missed practice all week, including Friday, and has been ruled out. Ferguson has caught four of Prescott's 16 touchdown passes, including Dallas' first touchdown in Indianapolis. Pickens gives Prescott another receiver to look for outside when coverage leans toward Lamb. RotoBaller ranks Prescott QB5 for Week 10, and he's a QB1 at home after three straight top-10 fantasy finishes at the position.

Adonai Mitchell's Week 10 Case Rests on Downfield Targets
New York Jets wide receiver Adonai Mitchell (knee) joined the injury report Friday. He practiced fully and is questionable against Buffalo. Mitchell played 56 of 63 offensive snaps at Kansas City and drew seven targets without a catch. The previous week, he turned nine targets into 142 yards against Las Vegas with Garrett Wilson also in the lineup. Five of those catches went for first downs, and his 47-yard grab in the fourth quarter put the Jets at the Raiders' 13. Buffalo has allowed 28 completions of at least 20 yards in eight games, giving Mitchell a chance to turn a few downfield looks into a useful line. RotoBaller has him at WR31 in its weekend PPR rankings. If active, he's a flex in deeper leagues, where his 16.6 yards per catch can offset a low reception total. Wilson (concussion) and Omar Cooper Jr. (ankle) are both questionable after limited Thursday sessions and full Friday practices. Mitchell could draw more work if either sits, but he already saw nine targets in a game in which Wilson drew 12.

Kenneth Walker Ruled Out for Week 10 vs. Falcons
Kansas City Chiefs running back Kenneth Walker (groin) has been ruled out for Sunday's Week 10 contest against the Atlanta Falcons, according to NFL insider Jordan Schultz. Walker initially injured his groin during practice on Thursday, and while the injury has been described as minor, it was enough to keep him out of practice entirely on Friday. Now, it will also keep him sidelined for Sunday's game, although the good news is that he isn't facing a long-term absence. While the Chiefs don't sound overly concerned about his status going forward, Walker's absence on Sunday could be detrimental for fantasy managers, who were counting on him to continue to contribute as a high-end RB1. Through eight games so far this season, he ranks as the overall RB2 in PPR scoring with 872 rushing yards, 26 catches, 172 receiving yards, and 11 total touchdowns. The 26-year-old has been a spectacular offseason signing for the Chiefs, and he should pick up right where he left off once he's healthy enough to play again. In the meantime, we expect the Chiefs to roll out rookie Emmett Johnson as their primary running back on Sunday. While his ceiling isn't as high as Walker's, he still ranks as a strong RB2 option, especially since he faces minimal competition for playing time.

Omar Cooper Jr. Is a Conditional Flex in Deep PPR Leagues
New York Jets wide receiver Omar Cooper Jr. (ankle) caught both passes that moved the chains on third down at Kansas City. He finished with eight catches on 11 targets for 58 yards while Garrett Wilson was out. Cooper was limited Thursday and practiced fully Friday, and the Jets list him as questionable against Buffalo. He's a deep PPR flex if he's active and Wilson sits. RotoBaller's weekend PPR rankings put him at WR40. In Week 7 against Miami, Cooper caught all five of his targets for 115 yards and a touchdown with Wilson in the lineup. The 60-yard score accounted for more than half his yardage. A week later he played 50 snaps against Las Vegas without drawing a target. Buffalo held Minnesota to 14 completions in Week 9, which makes it harder to count on the Jets supporting multiple high-volume receivers. Wilson (concussion) also went from limited Thursday to full Friday and remains questionable. If Wilson plays, the five looks Cooper got against Miami are a better guide to his volume than his 11 at Kansas City.

Garrett Wilson Is a WR2 If Active Against Buffalo
New York Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson (concussion) practiced fully Friday after a limited Thursday session and is officially questionable against Buffalo. Head coach Aaron Glenn said Friday he expected Wilson to play. If active, Wilson belongs in lineups as a WR2. He drew 12 targets against Las Vegas in his last game and caught six for 83 yards. Geno Smith found him for 31 yards on the opening play and another 15 on the final drive. Buffalo held Justin Jefferson to three catches on 11 targets last week, but those catches went for 58 yards. Two catches of at least 19 yards accounted for most of Jefferson's production. Buffalo cornerback Christian Benford (wrist) is questionable after going from limited Thursday to a full practice Friday. RotoBaller's weekend PPR rankings put Wilson at WR17. He had two catches for 26 yards against Miami the week before the Raiders game, so his target share is a better reason to start him than the 83 yards against Las Vegas. Wilson still leads the Jets with 43 catches and 527 yards despite missing Week 9.

Braelon Allen's Carries Are Harder to Project Against Buffalo
New York Jets running back Braelon Allen carried eight times for 33 yards at Kansas City after averaging 19.8 carries from Week 5 through Week 8 with Breece Hall out. He still played 37 of the Jets' 63 offensive snaps. Allen's 19-yard catch on the opening drive was New York's longest completion, and he got another carry on the possession after his second-quarter fumble. That involvement gives Allen a case as a low-end flex in leagues with multiple flex slots. Buffalo held the ball for more than 42 minutes against Minnesota last week, leaving the Vikings with just 12 rushing attempts. Hall handled 15 of the Jets' 23 carries by running backs in Week 9, a split that could leave Allen with another single-digit carry total if Buffalo controls possession again. RotoBaller ranks Allen RB27 for Week 10. He has caught 19 passes for 102 yards this season, with six of those catches coming in one game against Miami. Allen has caught two passes or fewer in seven of nine games, including against Kansas City.

Keenan Allen a Late-Week Streamer After Trade Boosts Value
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Keenan Allen has emerged as a potential streaming option for managers ahead of Week 10 against the Dallas Cowboys. The 49ers, who have dealt with injuries at seemingly every position this year, went out and acquired Allen ahead of Tuesday's trade deadline. He immediately presents himself as a reliable starter amid an offense that has dealt with injuries to wide receivers Mike Evans (hamstring), Deebo Samuel Sr. (hamstring), De'Zhaun Stribling (ankle), and Christian Kirk (knee). Samuel is back this week, but the other three receivers remain sidelined as San Francisco looks to maintain its success on the road. Assuming Allen has started to acclimate to the 49ers' offense, he should immediately slot in as the No. 2 receiver behind Samuel, establishing himself as a reliable, veteran target for quarterback Brock Purdy. That's the same role that Allen filled in Indianapolis, where he logged 40 catches, 351 yards, and one touchdown across eight games. Managers should view Allen as a strong WR3 option, which makes him an appealing streamer in medium-to-shallow formats where he's still available to be added. As it stands, he remains available in 42% of leagues as of Saturday morning.

Brenton Strange Looking to Get Back on Track Against Titans
Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Brenton Strange has been on the wrong end of some bad game script heading into a Week 10 matchup with the Tennessee Titans. He has just 77 yards and four catches combined on four targets over the last two weeks, which were both blowout victories, and still has not scored a touchdown since Week 1. The Titans rank 13th against tight ends, but Strange still has a chance for a bounce-back performance. From Weeks 4-6, Strange had 19 catches on 23 targets, showing what he is capable of in this Jaguars offense. All three of those games were much closer score-wise, so if the pattern continues, Strange may be in for another down game. However, he seems due for a touchdown in what is a week where the Jaguars are sure to score plenty. The young tight end isn't quite a clear starter, but he does at least deserve a little optimism as a borderline starting option. For fantasy managers in need of a starting tight end, Strange isn't ideal, but he is a solid option in Week 10.

Breece Hall's Touches Put Him in the RB2 Mix Against Buffalo
New York Jets running back Breece Hall handled the ball on two-thirds of his 27 offensive snaps at Kansas City in his first game back from a quadriceps injury. He got the ball on New York's first three plays, and back-to-back Hall runs took the Jets from the Chiefs' 19-yard line to the four on that drive. He finished with 15 carries for 61 yards and three catches for another 26. Braelon Allen played 10 more snaps, but Hall had seven more carries and drew four targets to Allen's two. That's enough work to start Hall as an RB2 against Buffalo even if the snap split carries over. The Bills are allowing 3.9 yards per carry and held Minnesota to 51 rushing yards in Week 9, with Jordan Mason accounting for 35 of them on six attempts. Hall has caught at least three passes in three of his four games. RotoBaller ranks him RB17 for Week 10, and his receiving work gives him another way to produce in PPR if Buffalo takes an early lead.

Geno Smith Is Best Suited for Superflex Leagues Against Buffalo
New York Jets quarterback Geno Smith was sacked five times for a loss of 42 yards at Kansas City, where his longest completion went for 19 yards. New York has allowed 28 sacks in nine games. Buffalo held Minnesota without a third-down conversion on eight attempts last week, though the Bills have allowed 15 passing touchdowns in eight games. Smith has a better chance to test that secondary downfield if Garrett Wilson (concussion) plays. Wilson was limited Thursday, practiced fully Friday and is questionable. Smith has completed nine passes of at least 40 yards this season, but he threw for just 165 yards and no touchdowns without Wilson in Week 9. RotoBaller ranks Smith QB16 for Week 10. He fits as a Superflex starter, particularly if he gets his leading receiver back. Smith has rushed for 54 yards without a touchdown through nine games. Buffalo kept Minnesota out of the end zone last week and intercepted two passes. With little rushing production to offset a quiet passing day, Smith is a sit in typical one-quarterback leagues.

Travis Etienne Jr. Activated From Injured Reserve, Expected to Play Sunday
New Orleans Saints running back Travis Etienne Jr. (hamstring) has been activated from injured reserve ahead of Sunday's Week 10 contest against the Carolina Panthers, according to Tom Pelissero of the Ringer. Etienne is listed as questionable, but his activation indicates that he should play on Sunday as he returns to action following a six-week absence. The 27-year-old was off to a modest start on offense before injuring his hamstring in Week 3. Across parts of three games, he totaled a modest 30 carries and 128 rushing yards. He was relatively more involved in the passing game, where he totaled 11 catches and 51 receiving yards. Etienne spent the start of the year sharing volume with Kendre Miller and Alvin Kamara, which was surprising given that he signed a $52 million contract in the offseason. Miller has since been released, so Etienne's main competition is now just Kamara, who has been highly inefficient with just 3.3 yards per carry and a modest 6.7 carries per game. Although the Saints surely won't phase out Kamara, we do expect Etienne to be the undisputed lead back upon his return. He should rank as a solid RB2 this week against a Panthers defense that has allowed the eighth-most fantasy points to running backs in 2026.

Olamide Zaccheaus is a Fantasy Dart-Throw in Daunting Matchup
Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Olamide Zaccheaus drew three targets in Week 9, but was able to produce just one catch for five yards. With teammate Zachariah Branch (hamstring) set to miss another game with an injury, Zaccheaus could be in line for an extra target or two again this week. While his performance so far this season doesn't move the needle for fantasy (6-16-0), it's worth noting that he did garner a red zone target in Week 9, the second straight week in which he tallied one in the red zone. For those season-long or DFS managers desperately looking for a lottery ticket in Week 10, the 5-foot-8 wideout could fit the bill. A matchup with Kansas City is tough on paper, with the Chiefs defense holding opposing wide receivers to the second-fewest fantasy points per game in 2026 (half-point PPR), allowing just two touchdown receptions to WRs through eight games, which is the fewest in the entire league. But that could spell bad news for Drake London and Jahan Dotson, potentially opening things up for Zaccheaus to make an impact. Using him this week isn't for the faint of heart, though, as the 29-year-old ranks as the No. 89 receiver overall at RotoBaller for Week 10.

Jakobi Meyers an Interesting Flex Option in Juicy Matchup With Titans
Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Jakobi Meyers (ankle) has been cleared to play, making him an intriguing flex option in a Week 10 matchup with the Tennessee Titans. The veteran receiver hasn't shown much in terms of upside this season, with his best fantasy outing being seven catches, 64 yards, and a touchdown in Week 3. Meyers is coming off his highest yardage total of the season with 65 yards against the Baltimore Ravens, but he has a chance to improve on that against the worst defense against receivers in fantasy. Meyers has shown to be the clear WR2 for the Jaguars, so as long as they move the ball and score early through the air in an expected blowout win, Meyers should be plenty involved. For any fantasy managers thinking about starting him in Week 10, this might be the best week all season (besides the next Jaguars-Titans matchup in two weeks) to start Meyers.

Parker Washington a High-End WR2 with Elite Upside in Week 10
Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Parker Washington has a chance for a big outing in Week 10 against the Tennessee Titans. They rank last in the NFL against wide receivers in half-PPR scoring, leaving the door open for Washington to finish as the WR1 overall this week. However, Washington has been a little inconsistent of late. Since his two-touchdown, 124-yard performance in Week 5 against the Philadelphia Eagles, he has caught just seven of his 20 targets, and his snap percentages have slightly decreased from 80 percent to 67 percent and 68 percent the last two weeks. To be fair, both of those games were blowouts, meaning he wasn't needed as much, but the bigger concern is the lower catch percentage. However, if Washington and Trevor Lawrence were to get back on track and regain their consistent connection from earlier in the season, the Titans would be the ideal matchup for that. Washington has been playing more like a WR2 lately, but his Week 10 matchup against the Titans could vault him back into WR1 status.

Corey Kiner is Worth a Late Waiver-Wire Add if Available
New England Patriots running back Corey Kiner has an opportunity to play an elevated role in a Week 10 matchup against the Detroit Lions in Germany. Fellow running back TreVeyon Henderson (illness) has already been ruled out, while Rhamondre Stevenson (knee) is questionable for Week 10. There is a chance that Stevenson plays, but if he doesn't, Kiner is expected to lead the backfield. Even if Stevenson is available, Kiner will play a role as the No. 2 running back and earn some touches. Kiner played just 11 offensive snaps in a 45-27 loss to the Green Bay Packers in Week 9, but was efficient with eight rushes for 55 yards (6.9 yards per carry) and a touchdown. The touchdown was the first of Kiner's career. Through nine appearances in 2026, Kiner has recorded 50 rushes for 244 yards (4.9 yards per carry) and the aforementioned score, while adding two receptions for 16 yards. The Lions allow just 94.1 rushing yards per game, but Kiner will see high volume if Stevenson misses the game. Kiner is currently available in 36% of Yahoo leagues, so he is worth looking into to see if he can be added in your leagues. According to Yahoo, Kiner's start percentage increased 43% from Week 9 to Week 10.

Bhayshul Tuten Remains Low-End RB1 Against Titans
Jacksonville Jaguars running back Bhayshul Tuten (ankle/foot) was limited at practice Friday and has no injury designation heading into Week 10 against the Tennessee Titans. The young back is coming off a quieter outing, which had less to do with how he performed and more with how the game turned out. With Tuten on the injury report last week and the score being 17-3 at the half, Tuten finished with just a 36 percent snap share. He still managed a touchdown on the first drive, which salvaged his fantasy day of just 29 total yards. Unfortunately, the 1-7 Titans could present a similar game situation. However, given the potential game script being in favor of the rushing attack, it is difficult to assume Tuten won't benefit enough to produce a good fantasy outing. The Titans rank below average against the run in fantasy at 18th. Patterns suggest a slightly lower floor, but Tuten is too talented, and the situation is too beneficial for fantasy managers not to start him in Week 10.

Trevor Lawrence Among Elite QB Options Against Titans
Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence remains a clear QB1 in fantasy in a Week 10 matchup against the Tennessee Titans. The former top pick is coming off a down fantasy performance in a 33-10 blowout against the Baltimore Ravens that was dominated by the rushing attack. That could mean a repeat performance against the Titans in what should be another blowout victory, but the 27th-ranked defense against quarterbacks in fantasy is too juicy of a matchup to overthink it. Lawrence will have all of his weapons at his disposal, and could be the reason the Jaguars gain a big lead in the first place. The Titans also rank slightly better against the run than the pass, so Liam Coen could switch things up and pass more early. Overall, Lawrence has done a great job this season of protecting the ball and finding the end zone consistently, tossing three or more touchdowns in four of eight games. There is very little downside beyond potentially unfavorable game script for Lawrence, making him a set-and-forget starter in Week 10.

Packers Inquired About Tony Pollard Before Trade Deadline
The Green Bay Packers inquired about Tennessee Titans running back Tony Pollard, according to Adam Schefter and Ian Rapoport of ESPN, as pointed out by Rob Demovsky of ESPN. According to Schefter and Rapoport, "Tennessee would not have traded (Pollard) for anything less than at least a third-round pick." Obviously, the Packers weren't able to make the move, but it is an interesting note. Green Bay has the worst rushing offense in the NFL, averaging just 68.2 yards per game on the ground. Green Bay's starting running back, Josh Jacobs (finger), had surgery on his broken finger earlier this week, and he is expected to return "in the next few weeks." In the meantime, the Packers will rely on running backs Kaleb Johnson, MarShawn Lloyd, and Pierre Strong Jr., while Chris Brooks (ankle) is questionable for a Week 10 game against the Minnesota Vikings. As for Pollard, he has rushed 133 times for 595 yards (4.5 yards per attempt) and six touchdowns, while adding 14 receptions for 70 yards (5.0 yards per catch) in 2026.

Jake Moody a Low-End Streaming Option as Falcons' New Kicker
Atlanta Falcons kicker Jake Moody will get a crack at kicking duties for the team this week after they released 42-year-old Nick Folk. Moody was with Baltimore before signing with the Falcons and made his season debut in Week 9, when he converted his only field goal attempt, which was from 53 yards. The signing gives the Falcons a chance to get some points from further out, as Folk was just 1-for-4 on field goal tries from 50-plus. The 6-foot-1 Moody owns a career-long of 57 yards, but comes with accuracy concerns, carrying a career 78.3 percent conversion rate into Week 10's matchup against the Chiefs. On the bright side, the University of Michigan product will get to kick in a dome for five of the remaining seven games, including this week, and in a game that has one of the higher over/unders on the slate (47.5), there should be some opportunities for the former third-rounder to make his mark. However, ranking as the 19th kicker overall this week at RotoBaller, the 26-year-old should be considered a low-end streaming option.

Khalil Herbert's Limited Involvement Offers Little Fantasy Appeal in Week 10
Atlanta Falcons running back Khalil Herbert tallied just three touches in Week 9, gaining seven yards on his lone rush attempt and two yards on his two receptions. The Virginia Tech product has not been as effective as Brian Robinson (hamstring) was as the team's secondary option at running back, and figures to have a limited role again in Week 10 in a home matchup against the Chiefs. Kansas City has been a top-eight defense against the run in terms of fantasy points per game, holding teams to 97.5 yards rushing per game and just 3.6 yards per carry, and though they've been vulnerable to running backs catching passes out of the backfield, expect Bijan Robinson to get most of those looks as well, not Herbert. Though there is a chance he could vulture a touchdown at some point, he has zero red zone attempts in the last two weeks, so the limited touches he is getting are not high-value touches for fantasy. Consider the former sixth-rounder a low-end RB5 or Flex play with a near-zero floor and little upside unless something were to happen to Robinson.
