Mark Andrews Not Worth Holding in Most Leagues
Baltimore tight end Mark Andrews hasn't lived up to expectations so far this season, and with more lackluster showings of late, he's a drop option in a lot of fantasy leagues. He has just 237 yards and a touchdown across 31 receptions and 43 targets on the season. Andrews has four or fewer targets in four straight games, and has just 60 receiving yards combined in that stretch. He hasn't been helped by the injuries to Lamar Jackson (finger) and Tyler Huntley (turf toe), but gets a little boost with Jacoby Brissett joining the team. He will need to deliver more on the field before fantasy owners trust Andrews again though. His matchup against the Chargers suggests that won't come in Week 10, as LA is a bottom-five test for tight ends.

Emanuel Wilson Can Be Dropped in Most Leagues
Seattle Seahawks running back Emanuel Wilson hasn't played an offensive snap since Zach Charbonnet and Jadarian Price returned in Week 8. Wilson carried 24 times for 100 yards and a touchdown against Kansas City in Week 7, but his opportunities have disappeared. In Sunday's 17-3 win over Arizona, Charbonnet handled 16 carries for 77 yards, while Price added nine carries and four receptions. Wilson never entered the game on offense. It's a dramatic change for a player who averaged more than 18 carries over a six-game stretch earlier this season. With Charbonnet and Price handling the workload, Wilson can be dropped in most redraft leagues. His only remaining appeal is as injury insurance in exceptionally deep formats.

Bhayshul Tuten Eyes More in Week 10 After Extra Time Off
Jacksonville running back Bhayshul Tuten battled ankle and foot injuries going into Week 9, but after playing on Thursday, he had some extra time to heal, so he should be able to take on more in Week 10 and beyond. He only played 20 offensive snaps in Week 9 against Baltimore - that was 35.7% of the team's total, which was his lowest mark of the season, but it also came in a lopsided game. Tuten still had a rushing touchdown and 29 yards across 12 carries. He's been a pretty solid fantasy option this season, with 521 rushing yards and four touchdowns over 122 carries, plus has caught 15 of his 16 targets for 181 yards and three more scores. Fantasy owners should expect more good showings out of Tuten, starting in Week 10 in a slightly above-average matchup against Tennessee.

Zach Charbonnet Takes Bigger Role in Seahawks Backfield
Seattle Seahawks running back Zach Charbonnet rushed 16 times for 77 yards in Sunday's 17-3 win over Arizona, adding one reception for nine yards. In his second game back from a torn ACL, Charbonnet saw his snap share jump from 37% in Week 8 to 57% in Week 9. His carries also increased from six to 16 as he moved ahead of rookie Jadarian Price in the backfield. Price remains involved, finishing Sunday with nine carries and four receptions for 54 yards, but Charbonnet handled most of the rushing work. Seattle faces Las Vegas in Week 10, a defense allowing a league-worst 5.21 yards per carry to opposing running backs. With his workload increasing and a favorable matchup ahead, Charbonnet is working his way back into the fantasy FLEX conversation.

Brevyn Spann-Ford Gains Fantasy Value as Role Expands
Dallas tight end Brevyn Spann-Ford is expected to take on a bigger role for the offense and that gives him a little more fantasy appeal. Jake Ferguson (knee) is expected to miss multiple weeks with an injury, so that opens the door for Spann-Ford to play and produce more. He already has 15 receptions for 130 yards across 20 targets this season. Spann-Ford has at least two receptions in four straight games, and he has two or more targets dating back five contests. With a chance at more snaps and production, he's got some deep-league fantasy appeal. He has a pretty average matchup coming against San Francisco in Week 10, and that's good enough to try him in some deeper leagues. Fantasy owners should want to see some improved production out of him before considering him in standard leagues.

Gunnar Helm Gaining Ground in Titans Passing Attack
Tennessee Titans tight end Gunnar Helm returns from the Week 9 bye following his best performance of the season. Helm caught five of nine targets for 76 yards against Cincinnati in Week 8, setting career highs in receptions, targets, and receiving yards. The second-year tight end had caught three passes for 24 yards against Cleveland the previous week after seeing little involvement earlier in October. His nine targets against the Bengals were particularly encouraging, as Tennessee leaned heavily on the passing game in its 43-36 loss. Helm has not scored a touchdown this season, and his recent production comes from a small sample. Still, his growing involvement gives fantasy managers a reason to watch him heading into Sunday's matchup against Jacksonville, especially in leagues where tight end options are limited.

Kyle Williams Seeing More Snaps in Patriots Offense
New England Patriots wide receiver Kyle Williams has seen a significant increase in playing time over the last two games. Williams played 83% of the offensive snaps against Miami in Week 8 and 78% against Green Bay in Week 9. He had played fewer than 40% in each of his previous seven games. The increased role hasn't produced consistent fantasy results, as Williams failed to catch either of his two targets in Sunday's 45-27 loss to the Packers. He caught a 43-yard touchdown against Miami the previous week, showing his ability to make plays downfield. Williams has just seven receptions this season, so the lack of targets remains a concern. Still, his growing snap share makes him a player to monitor in deeper fantasy leagues.

Rico Dowdle a Rising Fantasy Asset After Past Two Showings
Pittsburgh running back Rico Dowdle is on the rise as a fantasy asset after what he's done over the past two games. In Week 7 against New Orleans, Dowdle went for 41 rushing yards on nine attempts, plus caught all six of his targets for 45 more yards. In Week 8 against Cleveland, Dowdle finished with 56 rushing yards and a score over 15 carries, while not being targeted in the passing game. He logged 28 offensive snaps in both games, which was over 40% of the team's total in each contest. Dowdle is trending up heading into Week 10, which offers him a pretty average fantasy matchup against Cincinnati. He didn't face the Bengals earlier this season, but has a pretty solid outlook based on what we've seen from him of late, so he can be started in deeper leagues and considered as a flex-level option in standard leagues.

Geno Smith Has Week 10 Streaming Appeal
New York Jets quarterback Geno Smith draws a Buffalo defense that allowed 15 passing touchdowns through its first seven games. Smith threw for 577 yards and five touchdowns against Miami and Las Vegas before struggling in last Sunday's loss to Kansas City. He finished with just 165 passing yards, playing without Garrett Wilson (concussion), who remains uncertain for Week 10. Buffalo has faced more than 38 pass attempts per game this season, giving Smith a chance to rebound if the Jets are forced to throw frequently. Wilson's availability will be important when evaluating Smith for Sunday's matchup. Available in most fantasy leagues, Smith is a potential one-week streaming option, especially if Wilson returns to the lineup.

Jaylen Warren Continues to Build on Strong Season
Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Warren enters Week 10 riding one of his most productive stretches of the season. Warren rushed for 143 yards and a touchdown on 17 carries against Cleveland before Pittsburgh's Week 9 bye. He also recorded 101 rushing yards against New Orleans in Week 7, giving him four 100-yard rushing performances in his last six games. Warren has handled at least 14 carries in six straight contests, maintaining a substantial workload despite sharing the backfield with Rico Dowdle. He has 704 rushing yards and 294 receiving yards through eight games, putting him close to 1,000 yards from scrimmage. The Steelers face Cincinnati in Week 10, a team Warren rushed for 127 yards against earlier this season. His production has firmly established him as a weekly fantasy starter.

Roman Wilson Worth Deep-League Stashes as He Nears Return
Pittsburgh wide receiver Roman Wilson is worth stashing in some deep fantasy leagues despite him currently being on the injured reserve list. He's eligible to come off that list on November 22, which is Week 11 against Philadelphia. Before landing on IR, Wilson caught 14 of his 25 targets for 188 yards and two touchdowns across five games played. He looked to be emerging after tallying 134 receiving yards and two touchdowns across Weeks 3 and 4, but then got injured in Week 5. That opened the door for Germie Bernard to step into a larger role, so Wilson will not have to fight for snaps and targets with him. Of course, Pittsburgh already has DK Metcalf too, and Michael Pittman Jr. (foot) is another wideout to possibly deal with when he's activated down the road. That leaves Wilson as a better deep-league fantasy option only for now, but his production could change his outlook.

De'Zhaun Stribling Worth Stashing in Deeper Leagues
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver De'Zhaun Stribling (ankle) remains on injured reserve following surgery. The second-round rookie out of Ole Miss impressed during training camp and earned a starting role before suffering the injury in Week 1. Head coach Kyle Shanahan hopes to have Stribling back in December, though he may need time to work his way into the offense. San Francisco has dealt with receiver injuries all season, which could create opportunities when Stribling returns. The rookie has yet to record an NFL reception, leaving plenty of uncertainty about his fantasy value down the stretch. Managers in deeper leagues can consider using an open IR spot on Stribling, but he's not worth holding on an active roster in most redraft formats.

Aaron Rodgers Offers Streaming Upside in Week 10 Matchup
Pittsburgh quarterback Aaron Rodgers carries some streaming appeal for his Week 10 matchup against Cincinnati. It's a pretty average matchup for a fantasy quarterback, but we've already seen this matchup once this season, and Rodgers delivered big in that contest. Back in Week 3, Rodgers completed 19 of his 34 passes for 292 yards and three touchdowns. He was picked off once, and he finished with a season-high 10 rushing yards on three attempts. He's completed just 60.8% of his passes on the season, but for 1,871 yards and 13 touchdowns - he has six interceptions, while rushing for 23 yards on 12 attempts. Rodgers has been a solid fantasy option this season. Coming off his bye week and going into a matchup he's already had success in, that makes Rodgers worth possibly streaming in any fantasy league setup.

Kevin Coleman Jr. Facing Uphill Battle for Fantasy Relevance
Miami Dolphins rookie wide receiver Kevin Coleman Jr. has yet to establish himself as a fantasy-relevant option this season. In eight games, Coleman has caught eight of 21 passes for 82 yards and two touchdowns, and added 16 yards on one carry. Since Caleb Douglas returned from a three-game absence due to a high-ankle sprain, Coleman's snaps have decreased, and he has played just 19% of snaps over the last three games. Now, starting quarterback Malik Willis (groin) is being placed on injured reserve, which means backup Kyle McCord will start moving forward. The Dolphins' offense ranks 31st in passing yards this season. With the crowded receiving room, including Douglas, Malik Washington, and Chris Bell, and the team's struggles in the passing game, Coleman remains off the fantasy radar until proven otherwise.

Rams Hope to Have Puka Nacua Back Around Week 14 or 15
The Los Angeles Rams hope star wide receiver Puka Nacua (knee/toe) will be back around Week 14 or Week 15, according to ESPN's Dan Graziano. Nacua suffered an MCL and PCL sprain, along with turf toe, in the 20-13 win over the Washington Commanders. Rams head coach Sean McVay said Nacua would likely be placed on injured reserve, which would cost the star wideout the next four games. With the Rams' bye week coming up in Week 11, the earliest Nacua could return is Week 14, which appears to be the target date. In seven games, Nacua has hauled in 70 of 93 targets for 715 yards, with four touchdowns, while adding seven carries for 41 yards and a touchdown on the ground. With both Nacua and Davante Adams (hamstring) on injured reserve, receivers Konata Mumpfield, Tutu Atwell, and rookie CJ Daniels will need to step up in their place.

The Chargers Declined At Least One Trade Offer for Ladd McConkey
The Los Angeles Chargers declined a call about wide receiver Ladd McConkey's availability, according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. Sources also believe the Los Angeles Rams made the call on McConkey's status, but the Chargers said no. In six games, McConkey has hauled in 17 of 24 targets for 286 yards and one touchdown, while leaving three games early due to injury. Prior to their Week 9 matchup against the Houston Texans, McConkey dealt with back spasms during pregame warmups. Although he was listed as active, he did not play a snap in the 44-22 loss. Despite being 0-8, they have declared they are not giving up on this season, and, unfortunately for McConkey, he's not startable in most fantasy formats given the current state of the Chargers offense.

Cowboys Did Not Receive Any Calls on George Pickens
The Dallas Cowboys did not receive any calls about wide receiver George Pickens, according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. Fowler reported that Pickens is happy in Dallas, doesn't want to be traded, and that the team has no plans to deal him at the deadline. In 2026, Pickens has regressed from his 2025 breakout, hauling in just 39 of 62 targets for 533 yards and two touchdowns in eight games. After averaging 14.4 half-PPR fantasy points per game last season, Pickens is now averaging 10.6 points so far in 2026, which ranks 25th among wide receivers. While the Cowboys' offense has struggled for most of this season, Pickens and the offense should bounce back. Fantasy managers should consider the wideout a buy-low candidate as he looks to finish the 2026 season on a high note.

Deshaun Watson Will Start in Week 10 Over Shedeur Sanders
The Cleveland Browns will start quarterback Deshaun Watson in Week 10 against the Houston Texans, according to Mary Kay Cabot. Watson suffered a concussion in Week 8's loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers, prompting second-year quarterback Shedeur Sanders to start in Week 9. Sanders completed 19 of 31 passes for 297 yards, with two touchdowns and no interceptions, and added 28 rushing yards on 10 carries. Although the Browns lost in overtime to the New Orleans Saints, speculation around the league suggested the team would roll with Sanders for the foreseeable future. However, the Browns will continue to start Watson, who has had a bounce-back season in 2026. In eight games, he has completed 163 of 249 passes for 1,806 yards, seven touchdowns, and three interceptions, while adding 217 yards and a touchdown on the ground. Fantasy managers should still view Watson as a low-end QB2, while the rest of the offense should retain their value.

Giants Called the Falcons About Acquiring Bijan Robinson
The New York Giants reportedly called the Atlanta Falcons to inquire about trading for star running back Bijan Robinson, according to ESPN's Jordan Raanan. New York was involved in trade discussions for several star players, including Jeffrey Simmons, Jonathan Taylor, and DeForest Buckner, who ultimately landed elsewhere. Although there were no reports that the Falcons made Robinson available, the Giants explored the possibility as they looked to add an elite piece to their offense. For the remainder of the 2026 season, New York will roll with second-year running back Cam Skattebo, veteran Devin Singletary, and Tyrone Tracy Jr., who is currently on injured reserve. Fantasy managers with Skattebo can breathe a sigh of relief after he survived the trade deadline, despite speculation that the Giants could bring in a star running back.

Tutu Atwell's Target Share About to Take Off?
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Tutu Atwell has seen nine targets over his last two games, and his volume could continue to surge heading into Week 10 against the Arizona Cardinals. Atwell has seen increased opportunities on offense with wide receiver Davante Adams (hamstring) on injured reserve, and now, Puka Nacua (knee) and Jordan Whittington (back) are both headed for an extended absence. Nacua is averaging a whopping 13.3 targets per game this season, so that's a lot of vacated targets that will now be distributed among the Rams' other receivers, including Atwell. Historically, the 27-year-old has been more of a deep threat, but we would not be surprised if the Rams get him more involved in the intermediate passing game to make up for the loss of Adams and Nacua. Matthew Stafford has a long track record of supporting fantasy-relevant receivers, so Atwell has a decent chance to get on the WR3/flex radar, especially if he can establish himself as a preferred option ahead of Konata Mumpfield and CJ Daniels. Fantasy managers in leagues with at least 12-14 teams should strongly consider adding Atwell off waivers, as he's likely headed for at least four or five weeks of fantasy relevance.

Van Jefferson's Volume Takes Off as Fantasy Appeal Grows
Washington Commanders wide receiver Van Jefferson has emerged as an intriguing waiver wire target after an impressive performance in Week 9. In the Commanders' second game without Terry McLaurin (knee), Jefferson saw his snap share soar to 58%, up from 12% the week prior. Additionally, after not catching a pass in his first two games with Washington, Jefferson broke out with seven targets, five catches, 58 receiving yards, and one touchdown on Sunday against his old team, the Los Angeles Rams. It's possible that this was a one-time fluke for the veteran pass catcher, and he may cool off when Treylon Burks (foot) returns to the mix. However, given that the Commanders' receiver room is wide open with McLaurin on injured reserve, Jefferson could also maintain his fantasy appeal going forward. He should be in the mix to operate as the No. 3 receiver behind Stefon Diggs and Antonio Williams, but potentially head of Burks when he returns. At the very least, Jefferson is a low-risk waiver-wire target for managers in leagues with at least 12-14 teams.
