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.--Seth Quinn - RotoBaller

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.--Seth Quinn - RotoBaller

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.--Ryan O'Bleness

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.--Jarod Rupp

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.--Jarod Rupp

The Detroit Lions defense got off to an awful start to the 2026 season, allowing at least 30 points in three out of four weeks to open the year. However, Detroit's defense has rebounded since the team's Week 6 bye. Across their last three games, the Lions' defense has allowed an average of 272 total yards and 13.7 points per game while forcing three turnovers. Still, Detroit will get a tough test in Week 10 against the New England Patriots. Patriots quarterback Drake Maye has thrown 17 touchdown passes over the last six weeks, and he could be getting back top wide receiver A.J. Brown (knee, ankle) against the Lions. Detroit will also be without top cornerback D.J. Reed (hip), who is missing his second straight game with a hip injury. Despite their improved play of late, the Lions have fielded a below-average defense for most of 2026 and remain tough to trust for fantasy managers in Week 10.--Will Brady

Kansas City Chiefs running back Kenneth Walker's (groin) status is uncertain for a Week 10 game against the Atlanta Falcons due to a groin injury. Walker showed up on Kansas City's injury report on Friday with a sore groin, and he did not participate in practice that day. He is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Falcons. Jeremy Fowler of ESPN reported that the Chiefs don't know exactly where Walker stands with the injury, and they will monitor him over the next 24 hours. However, Fowler also reported there is "not a ton of optimism" about Walker's availability, at least as of Friday. Walker currently ranks second in the NFL in rushing yards with 872. If he is unable to play against the Falcons, the Chiefs will rely on rookie running back Emmett Johnson to play a larger role.--Ryan O'Bleness

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Jahan Dotson caught both of his targets last week, but in atypical fashion, the receptions accounted for just 16 yards. The Penn State product had been averaging over 13 yards per target coming into the game, but that dropped to just six yards in Week 9. Nevertheless, the 5-foot-11 wideout remains the team's deep threat, who is capable of getting chunk plays at any point. The problem is that he doesn't get many targets, ranking fourth on the team in terms of Target% (13.1), so he's been a boom/bust player for fantasy, producing four weeks with a touchdown and/or at least 54 yards receiving, and five weeks with no TDs and 19 yards or fewer. Week 10 brings one of the tougher matchups for wide receivers, as the Chiefs defense has held opposing wideouts 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. All in all, it makes the 26-year-old a very risky WR6/Flex play in Week 10.--Jarod Rupp

New England Patriots running back Corey Kiner has emerged as an intriguing fantasy football option for Week 10 against the Detroit Lions in Germany. Kiner opened the year as the No. 3 back in New England, but he has quickly ascended to fantasy relevance with TreVeyon Henderson (illness) sidelined and Rhamondre Stevenson (knee) iffy to play this week. Stevenson is officially listed as questionable, and if he were to be ruled out, Kiner would slot into the lead-back role ahead of teammate Lan Larison. Kiner has flashed upside while taking on a larger role in recent weeks, totaling 30 carries, 5.43 yards per carry, and one touchdown over his last five games. That YPC number is particularly intriguing, and it's a refreshing improvement over Stevenson, who has just 3.91 YPC this year. Other than Stevenson's availability, the big factor to consider for Kiner's managers is this week's matchup. The Lions have allowed the third-fewest rushing touchdowns and third-fewest fantasy points to running backs in 2026, and they've been stingier on the ground than through the air. Even if Kiner does end up in a bigger role, there's no guarantee that he contributes substantially on the ground or through the air. As a result, managers should view him as more of an RB3/flex play this week, rather than an RB2. Managers who are waiting to see Stevenson's status before making a decision on Kiner should check back at 8:00 a.m. EST on Sunday, which is when the Patriots will announce their list of inactive players ahead of a 9:30 a.m. kickoff.--Andersen Pickard

Detroit Lions kicker Jake Bates has been very steady so far this season, converting 16 of 17 field goal attempts and all 24 of his extra-point tries across eight games. In Week 10, Bates and the Lions are set to take on the New England Patriots in Munich, Germany. The Patriots' defense has been a little bit shaky in recent games, allowing 30-plus points in two out of the last three weeks. The game will also be played in a partially enclosed dome in Munich, which should take any major weather concerns out of the picture for Bates. All in all, Bates profiles as a low-end top-12 kicker option for fantasy managers in Week 10.--Will Brady

Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts Sr. has garnered at least five targets in five straight games, but after scoring a touchdown in three straight in Weeks 5 through 7, the University of Florida product has failed to find the end zone in each of the last two contests and has totaled five catches for 29 yards over that span. Week 10 brings an intriguing matchup, though, as the Falcons take on the Chiefs in Atlanta. Although Kansas City is one of the toughest units against wide receivers, the defense has been vulnerable to tight ends, allowing the sixth-most fantasy points per game to opposing TEs, including five touchdowns. If the Chiefs focus on locking down Drake London, Pitts could be a beneficiary of some additional looks, especially if the Falcons are playing from behind the whole game. Even so, the 6-foot-6 tight end projects as a low-end TE2 this week at RotoBaller, but the favorable matchup provides some upside potential.--Jarod Rupp

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Penix Jr. began the season with a 9:1 TD:INT over his first five games, but has since thrown just one touchdown and five interceptions over the last two contests. The former first-rounder has failed to go over 200 yards passing in either of those games, and hasn't topped 256 yards all season, although two three-touchdown performances have shown what he is capable of. After two down performances, the 6-foot-3 quarterback out of Washington will look to get back on track in Week 10, though a home matchup against the Chiefs awaits. Kansas City is middle of the road in terms of passing yards allowed per game (223.8), but is allowing the fourth-fewest fantasy points per game to opposing signal callers, with just seven passing TDs surrendered so far through eight games. On the bright side, the defense ranks near the bottom in terms of sacks per game (1.3), which could allow Penix some time to find an open receiver, but with a ranking of QB23 this week at RotoBaller, there are likely streaming options in better environments for Week 10.--Jarod Rupp

New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson (knee) is listed as questionable for Week 10 against the Detroit Lions in Germany, but he should be deployed as a low-end RB2 option in PPR leagues if he does end up playing with little to no limitations. When Stevenson injured his knee last week, the initial fear was that he'd miss several games, which is why it's surprising to see that the Patriots are leaving the door open for him to play on Sunday. With that being said, he did manage to log two limited practices in a row, and the Patriots are desperately in need of some stability at the running back position with TreVeyon Henderson (illness) sidelined. Corey Kiner and Lan Larison would operate as the Pats' top two running backs if Stevenson can't suit up. The big concern with Stevenson is that he could be active, but still have a reduced workload, or potentially only be available in emergency situations. Fantasy managers would feel much more comfortable deploying him as an RB2 if we get some sort of confirmation that he's near 100% or won't have any limitations. At the same time, we also have some concerns with this matchup, as the Lions have surrendered the fourth-fewest fantasy points to opposing running backs in 2026. They've been a little tougher in the run game than in the short receiving game, so we do think Stevenson could still post RB2 value in PPR leagues because of his pass-catching prowess. However, the matchup factor is absolutely something to consider. If Stevenson is near 100%, he should be a fine RB2 option for fantasy managers based on volume alone; he averaged 15.8 touches per game from Weeks 4-8. However, if he doesn't handle a normal workload, he'd slip to the RB3/flex tier or lower because of the iffy matchup, while Kiner would have more fantasy appeal.--Andersen Pickard

Across eight games in 2026, Detroit Lions tight end Sam LaPorta has recorded 35 catches for 399 yards and three touchdowns on 49 targets. The 25-year-old's production has tailed off in recent weeks, as he's failed to log five catches or 35 receiving yards in three consecutive games. The Lions have operated with a more run-heavy approach since their Week 6 bye, which has impacted LaPorta's production. However, Detroit may look to the air more often in Week 10 against the New England Patriots, whose defense currently ranks 25th in the NFL in yards per pass attempt allowed (7.9). The Lions may also be without top wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown (ribs), who is listed as questionable to play with a rib injury. Given his recent downturn in production, LaPorta carries some risk for fantasy managers in Week 10. However, he should still be viewed as a must-start tight end against the Patriots on Sunday.--Will Brady

New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson (knee) is "pushing to try to play" in a Week 10 game against the Detroit Lions in Germany, according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. Stevenson missed Wednesday's practice with a knee injury, but was a limited participant on Thursday and Friday. He is officially considered questionable for the game against the Lions. Fowler noted that it looked like Stevenson was going to be forced to miss time, but he told teammates he's going to try to play. Fowler has said he wouldn't be shocked if New England ultimately opts to hold Stevenson out in Week 10, but that he has a "chance" to play in Germany against Detroit. With TreVeyon Henderson (illness) already ruled out, expect Corey Kiner to play a large role for the Patriots if Stevenson can't go.--Ryan O'Bleness

Across eight games in 2026, Detroit Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams has recorded 28 catches for 468 yards and five touchdowns on 46 targets. The 25-year-old logged three straight games with at least one touchdown reception between Weeks 5-8, but he was held to just one catch for 31 yards and zero touchdowns on two targets in Week 9 against the Miami Dolphins. Given the downfield nature of his role in the Lions' passing game, Williams is prone to bust weeks. However, he remains a big-play threat who can go off for massive numbers in any given game. Williams has a relatively favorable matchup on paper in Week 10 against the New England Patriots, who rank 25th in the NFL in yards per pass attempt allowed (7.9) and have allowed the second-most receptions of 20-plus yards (31). Williams remains a boom/bust WR2 option for fantasy managers in Week 10.--Will Brady

New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye ranks as the overall QB4 in fantasy scoring this season, and he remains in must-start territory for Sunday's Week 10 contest against the Detroit Lions in Germany. Maye has been on fire lately despite playing several games without his top targets, A.J. Brown (knee) and Romeo Doubs (shoulder). Over the last six weeks, Maye has 20 total touchdowns and just six turnovers, and that turnover number is partly skewed by his three interceptions from last Sunday. In Week 10, Maye should feast against a weak Lions defense. Detroit has allowed the third-most fantasy points and the third-most passing yards to opposing quarterbacks this season. Additionally, Maye could have some reinforcements on the way, as Brown and running back Rhamondre Stevenson (knee) are both listed as questionable. Specifically, if Brown plays, Maye's passing and rushing talents could put him in the mix to rank as the overall QB1 against an iffy defense. As it stands, he ranks as this week's QB4 overall and should be started in all leagues.--Andersen Pickard

New England Patriots wide receiver A.J. Brown (knee, ankle) "has a chance to play" in a Week 10 matchup against the Detroit Lions, according to Jeremy Fowler of ESPN. Brown is dealing with lingering knee and ankle injuries. He has been a limited participant in practice throughout the week. Brown officially enters Sunday's contest with a questionable designation. New England head coach Mike Vrabel noted that Brown has looked "pretty good" in practice. Brown has missed the previous two games and has played only three games total in 2026. Brown has recorded nine catches (on 20 targets) for 101 yards (11.2 yards per reception) and no touchdowns in 2026. If Brown can play, he will face a Detroit Lions pass defense that ranks last in the NFL, giving up 260.9 passing yards per game. If active, fantasy managers can confidently put him in their lineups.--Ryan O'Bleness

Cleveland Browns kicker Andre Szmyt can be counted on as a reliable option for Week 10 against the Houston Texans. Szmyt is coming off of a nice game in Week 9 against the New Orleans Saints when he made all three of his field goal attempts. He connected on one from the 30-yard range, one from the 40-yard range, and one from 50 yards plus. Szmyt has been reliable all year with a 19-for-21 mark on all field goals with a long of 56 yards. He is also 12-for-13 on extra-point tries. The matchup against the Texans is a good one for the Browns' offense which makes it a nice one for Szmyt as well. The Texans allow 24.0 points per game defensively. Fantasy managers can start Szmyt with confidence as he looks to be one of the most reliable kickers in the league.--Brian Buckey - RotoBaller
