Minnesota Adds Insurance With Max Brosmer
Apr 27, 2025, 4:00 PM ET
Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network reports that the Minnesota Vikings have signed former University of Minnesota quarterback Max Brosmer as an undrafted free agent. According to Pelissero, the deal includes $250,000 in guaranteed money. The Vikings signed 19 undrafted rookies following the draft. It's a smart move for the organization, adding more quarterback depth on the roster. Brosmer was a fifth-year collegiate athlete, but 2024 was his first season as a Golden Gopher. He was fine, completing 66.5% of his passes for 2,828 yards and an 18:6 TD:INT ratio, though it wasn't his best work. That came in 2023 when he recorded 3,459 yards and 29 TDs, adding another 127 yards and five scores on the ground for the University of New Hampshire. He'll have a shot to surpass quarterbacks Brett Rypien and the newly acquired Sam Howell on the depth chart.--Alex CiullaSource: Tom PelisseroComments · Join ChatOpen App

Houston Texans wide receiver Nico Collins has put together a productive 2026 campaign so far. He leads the Texans with 384 receiving yards and also leads the team in receiving touchdowns with four. Collins also ranks second on the team in receptions with 28, behind only tight end Dalton Schultz (35 receptions). Collins, who has drawn 39 total targets in 2026, missed two games earlier this season due to a hamstring injury. Most recently, Collins caught all four of his targets for 55 yards (13.8 yards per reception) and a touchdown in a 44-22 win over the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 9. Collins has recorded at least 55 receiving yards in six out of his seven appearances this season. According to RotoBaller, Collins averages 12.9 fantasy points per game in half-PPR scoring settings, ranking 13th in the NFL. Collins and the Texans have a matchup with the Cleveland Browns in Week 10. The Browns have one of the stoutest passing defenses in the NFL, allowing just 201.0 passing yards per game, which ranks sixth in the league. Still, RotoBaller ranks Collins as its No. 15 wide receiver for Week 10 (half-PPR), and he should safely remain in all starting lineups.--Ryan O'BlenessSource: Pro Football Reference

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Jakobi Meyers remains involved in the passing game each week. He ranks second on the team in receiving yards (354), tied for second in targets (37), third in receptions (26) and tied for third in touchdown receptions (two) in 2026. Meyers is behind only fellow wide receiver Parker Washington in yards and targets, and is behind Washington and tight end Brenton Strange in receptions. Most recently, Meyers earned six targets in a 33-10 win over the Baltimore Ravens in Week 9, and recorded four receptions for 65 yards (16.3 yards per catch). Meyers and the Jaguars get a Week 10 matchup with a Tennessee Titans defense that allows 258.3 passing yards per game, which ranks second-to-last in the NFL. The Titans also allow 24.9 points per game (22nd in the NFL). Meyers ranks as RotoBaller's No. 30 wide receiver for Week 10, and he has a favorable matchup against the Titans.--Ryan O'BlenessSource: Pro Football Reference
Is Cam Ward Finally Finding His Footing with Titans?

It hasn't been the smoothest of starts to the NFL career of Tennessee Titans quarterback Cam Ward, who has a record of just 4-21 through his first 25 professional games, but Ward's most recent outing provided plenty of promise and showed off his talent. The Titans are coming off of a bye week in Week 9, but in a 43-36 overtime loss to the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 8, Ward set new career highs in passing yards (304) and rushing yards (41), while tying his career high in touchdown passes with two. Ward completed 26 out of 40 passing attempts (65%) against the Bengals, and averaged 7.6 yards per attempt. He also averaged 5.9 yards per carry on seven rushing attempts. Ward has a Week 10 matchup against a Jacksonville Jaguars defense that allows 229.0 passing yards per game (22nd in the NFL), but also only gives up 15.1 points per game (second in the league). Ward ranks as RotoBaller's No. 25 quarterback for Week 10.--Ryan O'BlenessSource: Pro Football Reference
Pierre Strong Jr. Could Be In Line for Sizable Role with Packers

Green Bay Packers running back Pierre Strong Jr. could potentially see an uptick in his usage following a broken finger injury to starting running back Josh Jacobs. Strong led Green Bay's backfield in snaps played (30) in a 45-27 win over the New England Patriots in Week 9. Strong rushed eight times for 22 yards (2.8 yards per carry) and recorded two receptions for 11 yards (5.5 yards per reception). However, Strong was out-touched 14-to-10 by fellow tailback Kaleb Johnson, and Johnson was the preferred ball carrier with 14 carries for 68 yards (4.9 yards per carry) and a touchdown against the Patriots. With that said, Strong appeared to be favored on passing downs, as he was in on 15 passing plays compared to eight for Johnson, according to Pro Football Focus. Jacobs is expected to miss at least two to three weeks after breaking his right ring finger. Meanwhile, running back MarShawn Lloyd (knee) missed the game against the Patriots, but returned to practice on Wednesday without an injury designation ahead of a Week 10 contest against the Minnesota Vikings. Fellow tailback Chris Brooks (ankle) remains on injured reserve, but is designated to return, and he was a limited practice participant on Wednesday. Still, Strong should continue to see reps for the Packers with Jacobs out.--Ryan O'BlenessSource: Pro Football Reference
De'Zhaun Stribling is Getting Closer to a Return

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver De'Zhaun Stribling (ankle) remains on the Injured Reserve heading into the Week 10 matchup against the Dallas Cowboys. Stribling has been sidelined since needing surgery on his ankle following an injury during the season opener. There is little hope for Stribling playing in Week 10, but the 49ers didn't rule out opening his practice window at some point. The 49ers are willing to open his practice window if Stribling continues progressing. They could certainly use his help with how banged up the team is at wideout right now. It doesn't sound like he'll be ready soon, but fantasy managers shouldn't rule out Stribling returning before the end of the season.--Andy WebbSource: Nick Wagoner
MarShawn Lloyd Not on Wednesday's Injury Report

Green Bay Packers running back MarShawn Lloyd (knee) has been removed from the injury report ahead of the Week 10 matchup against the Minnesota Vikings. Lloyd will be back in the mix after missing last week's victory over the New England Patriots due to a knee injury. The expectation is that Lloyd will see increased reps with Josh Jacobs (finger) expected to miss multiple games. The Packers are likely going to use a committee approach, so Lloyd's overall fantasy value is tough to gauge. Fantasy managers should consider him a low-end flex option for a tough matchup against the Vikings in Week 10.--Andy WebbSource: Rob Demovsky

New England Patriots wide receiver A.J. Brown (knee) was able to return to practice as a limited participant during Wednesday's practice. It's good to see Brown back at practice after he missed each of the last two games due to knee and ankle injuries. Head coach Mike Vrabel said that Brown will travel with the team to Munich for the Week 10 matchup against the Detroit Lions. It appears that Brown is trending in the right direction ahead of this contest. If active, Brown could be a legitimate WR2 option for fantasy managers this weekend against the struggling Lions secondary. Fantasy managers will need to continue monitoring his status throughout the week.--Andy WebbSource: New England Patriots

Arizona Cardinals running back Bam Knight (concussion) was a limited participant during Wednesday's practice session. This is the first time that Knight has been able to practice at all since suffering a concussion in Week 8. He sat out during last week's loss to the Seattle Seahawks. He was wearing a yellow non-contact jersey during Wednesday's practice. He remains in concussion protocol, but it sounds like Knight is making progress. If healthy enough to play, Knight should be in a committee role with Tyler Allgeier for Sunday's Week 10 matchup against the Los Angeles Rams. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor Knight's status throughout the rest of the week.--Andy WebbSource: Sarah Barshop

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Rashid Shaheed (knee) was a full participant during Wednesday's practice session. It's great to see Shaheed making progress after missing the last two games due to a knee injury. The hope is that Shaheed will be able to make his return to the field during this weekend's matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders. He hasn't played since suffering that knee injury against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 7. Shaheed should resume his role as the No. 1 wideout in Seattle, but that doesn't guarantee fantasy value. So far this season, Shaheed has recorded 16 receptions for 163 yards and zero touchdowns across seven games. He should be considered a WR4, assuming he does make his return to the field this weekend.--Andy WebbSource: Gregg Bell
Dominic Zvada Is a Starting Option Against Commanders

New York Giants rookie kicker Dominic Zvada had a massive game in Week 9 and has solidified his status as the team's starting kicker moving forward. Zvada made 4 of 4 field goals, including two from 49 yards and one from 53 yards, and made his only extra point attempt in the 19-11 win over the Philadelphia Eagles. After missing five field goals in his previous three games, head coach John Harbaugh remained confident in the rookie, and he delivered in a big way in Week 9. He faces a Washington Commanders defense that has allowed the 12th most fantasy points to kickers this season. While rain and wind could be a factor in Week 10, Zvada offers starting value as a kicker against the Commanders.--Nathan HarveySource: RotoBaller
New York Giants D/ST Gaining Momentum Ahead of Divisional Clash

The New York Giants' defense has been on a hot streak heading into a Week 10 divisional clash. Last week, the Giants allowed just 11 points, forced one turnover, and recorded seven sacks in a 19-11 win over the Philadelphia Eagles. Despite losing star edge rusher Brian Burns early in the season, players such as Arvell Reese, Abdul Carter, and Greg Newsome II have stepped up and become key contributors on defense. They now face a Washington Commanders offense that ranks 21st in points per game (21.5) and 23rd in total yards (321.2) but has committed just five turnovers this season. Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels had success against New York in Week 5, leading Washington to 27 points in a 27-27 tie while taking care of the football. While the Giants D/ST remains a risky option against Daniels and the Commanders, their recent success makes it a low-end fantasy option in Week 10.--Nathan HarveySource: RotoBaller

New York Giants tight end Isaiah Likely will look to build on his breakout season in 2026. In Week 9, Likely hauled in five of six targets for 53 yards and a touchdown in the 19-11 win over the Philadelphia Eagles. The former Raven tight end has caught 46 passes for 448 yards and six touchdowns in eight games, already the most fantasy points he has scored in his NFL career. He faces a Washington Commanders defense that has allowed the second-most fantasy points to tight ends this season. In Week 5, Likely caught 11 passes for 94 yards and two touchdowns against this Commanders secondary. While rain could be a factor on Thursday night, Likely is a certified TE1 and should be started in all formats in Week 10.--Nathan HarveySource: RotoBaller
Malachi Fields Too Risky to Trust in Week 10

Nov 11, 2026, 9:13 PM ET
New York Giants wide receiver Malachi Fields is gaining momentum as he enters the backstretch of the 2026 season. In eight games, Fields has caught 19 of 35 targets for 288 yards and a touchdown, averaging 5.5 half-PPR fantasy points per game. In two starts with quarterback J.J. McCarthy, Fields has caught seven passes for 123 yards, solidifying his status as the clear WR2 ahead of veteran Darnell Mooney. The rookie receiver faces a Washington Commanders defense that has allowed the 11th most fantasy points to wide receivers this season. Rain is expected to be a factor in East Rutherford on Thursday night, which could limit the Giants' passing game despite a favorable matchup. Fields is best left on fantasy benches this week, though his WR2 role will be something to monitor in Week 10.--Nathan HarveySource: RotoBaller

New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers (knee) is off the injury report and slated to play in Week 10 against the Washington Commanders. Nabers has been on the injury report due to a knee issue stemming from his torn ACL, which he suffered in September 2025. Although the knee has cost him some practice time, he has not missed a beat on the field, hauling in 53 of 78 targets for 648 yards and two touchdowns in eight games this season. He faces a Commanders defense that has allowed the 11th most fantasy points to wide receivers this season. In Week 5, Nabers decimated this Commanders secondary, catching 11 passes for 121 yards and a touchdown in the 27-27 tie. Fantasy managers can start the star receiver without hesitation in Week 10, as he offers WR1 value against Washington.--Nathan HarveySource: RotoBaller
Devin Singletary Returning to Backup Role in Week 10

Nov 11, 2026, 9:10 PM ET
New York Giants running back Devin Singletary was inefficient in his first start of the 2026 season in Week 9. With second-year back Cam Skattebo (hamstring) inactive and Tyrone Tracy Jr. (hamstring) on injured reserve, Singletary had 21 carries and two receptions but managed just 39 scrimmage yards and no touchdowns in the 19-11 win over the Philadelphia Eagles. While Singletary had the opportunity to carve out a significant role in this Giants offense, his 1.5 yards-per-carry average in Week 9 didn't solidify his standing in the backfield, with Skattebo expected to play on Thursday. The Giants also face a Washington Commanders defense that has allowed the seventh-fewest fantasy points to running backs this season. As he returns to his backup role, Singletary is not startable in any formats against a tough matchup in Week 10.--Nathan HarveySource: RotoBaller

New York Giants running back Cam Skattebo (hamstring) is off the injury report and ready to play in Week 10 against the Washington Commanders. After a Week 7 hamstring strain that cost him one game, Skattebo was a full participant on Tuesday and is set to start on Thursday. In six full games this season, Skattebo has 98 carries for 418 yards and two touchdowns, plus 11 receptions for 76 yards. With Tyrone Tracy Jr. (hamstring) on injured reserve, Skattebo is set to carry the bulk of the workload. He faces a Commanders defense that has allowed the seventh-fewest fantasy points to running backs this season. While Washington ranks among the top defenses against the run, a heavy workload should put the second-year back in the RB2 discussion in fantasy for Week 10.--Nathan HarveySource: RotoBaller

New York Giants quarterback J.J. McCarthy (hip) is off the injury report and slated to start in Week 10 against the Washington Commanders. McCarthy suffered a hip pointer during the Giants' 19-11 win over the Philadelphia Eagles but practiced all week and is healthy enough to play Thursday night. In three games with the Giants this season, McCarthy has completed 43 of 68 passes for 622 yards, with one touchdown and one interception. McCarthy is set to face a Commanders defense that has allowed the fourth-most fantasy points to quarterbacks this season. Washington has also allowed the fourth-most passing touchdowns in the NFL (16) and the third-most yards per game this season (240). While potential inclement weather could be a factor Thursday night, McCarthy should be considered a low-end QB2 in his first start for the Giants at MetLife Stadium.--Nathan HarveySource: RotoBaller
Cardinals Declined Trade Offer for Budda Baker From Bills

The Arizona Cardinals decided not to trade eight-time Pro Bowl safety Budda Baker at Tuesday's deadline after the Buffalo Bills made an offer, according to NFL insider Jordan Schultz. Instead, the Bills acquired Amani Hooker from the Tennessee Titans. It was a little confusing as to why the Cardinals did not send Baker to the Bills in exchange for a Day 2 pick and probably more. The Cardinals already traded former first-round receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. to the Houston Texans and veteran quarterback Jacoby Brissett to the Baltimore Ravens, and receiver Michael Wilson (neck) and quarterback Gardner Minshew II (elbow) are out for the year, so the Cardinals are going nowhere for the rest of the 2026 season with rookie QB Carson Beck under center. First-round running back Jeremiyah Love (ankle) remains out as well. The 30-year-old Baker requested a trade out of the desert in years past, but he did not go that route this year and will remain in Arizona for the remainder of the 2026 campaign after already totaling 62 tackles (29 solo), 3.5 sacks, four tackles for loss, five QB hits, one interception, four pass breakups, and a forced fumble in nine games played.--Keith HernandezSource: Jordan Schultz
Washington Commanders D/ST A Potential Option in Week 10

The Washington Commanders defense has been playing better of late, forcing at least one turnover in six straight games and at least two turnovers in five of the last six. The returns of cornerback Trey Amos and safety Nick Cross have been huge for the secondary; however, the season-ending losses of defensive tackles Daron Payne (foot) and Javon Kinlaw (knee) have significantly hurt what was a stout Commanders' run defense early in the season. It's a unit that will give up yards, but has been able to force some turnovers to make up for it. The Commanders' defense ranks 15th in EPA/play and 21st in success rate since Week 6 and will be facing the J.J. McCarthy-led Giants on Thursday night at the Meadowlands. In McCarthy's two starts with the Giants, their offensive success rate is only ahead of the Chargers and Eagles, and they are tied with the Eagles for the lowest dropback success rate, per RBSDM.com. The Commanders were shredded by Malik Nabers and Isaiah Likely in their first meeting in Week 5, combining for 22 catches for 215 yards and three touchdowns. But the Giants have trended more run-heavy with McCarthy, and with Cam Skattebo returning, that will likely remain the case. There is expected to be some wind and rain in this game, which would obviously favor the defenses and suggest a lower-scoring game. The Commanders rank as RotoBaller's 13th-ranked D/ST for Week 10.--Kyle McCarthySource: Pro Football Reference

Washington Commanders rookie kicker Drew Stevens has found his footing in the NFL, connecting on 16 of 19 field-goal attempts and 12 of 15 extra-point attempts through eight games. The undrafted rookie out of Iowa hasn't missed a kick within 50 yards and has only missed once since Week 2. While Washington's offense has been disappointing, they have generated at least two field goal attempts in every game except for one this season. Stevens is RotoBaller's 13th-ranked kicker for Week 10 against a Giants defense that has allowed the 5th fewest fantasy points to kickers this season.--Kyle McCarthySource: RotoBaller
