Sean Tucker Leads Bucs in Rushing for Second Consecutive Outing
Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Sean Tucker paced the backfield in Week 10, totaling 53 yards on nine carries in their 28-23 loss to the New England Patriots. He lost two yards on 1-of-2 receiving. Tucker saw a season-high in carries his last time out and has now out-rushed backfield mate Rachaad White in back-to-back contests. White is an excellent all-around back, but there's reason to believe that Tucker is the better pure runner. When teammate Bucky Irving (foot, shoulder) makes his way back from injury, the 24-year-old will likely return to a limited workload. Until then, it wouldn't be surprising to see him pick up some more rushing work due to White's inconsistencies in the run game. Tucker is difficult to project as a standalone option, though he'll be one of the higher-end handcuffs for as long as Irving is out.

Cade Stover to Return in Week 11?
According to Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston, Houston Texans tight end Cade Stover (foot) could be activated from IR as soon as this week. The second-year pro has been shelved since breaking his foot back in Week 1, but he's progressed well and should return to action within the next few weeks. Before Stover went down with an injury, he and teammate Dalton Schultz played a nearly identical snap total. It's unclear if that will be the case once he's back, but the 25-year-old will certainly siphon away some playing time -- and targets -- from Schultz, who has seen greater than a 70% snap share in five of his last seven appearances. Schultz is still a solid fantasy option for the time being, but it's a situation worth keeping an eye on for those relying on him.

Aaron Glenn Won't Name Justin Fields the Week 11 Starter
When asked about who will get the starting nod in this Thursday's road matchup with the New England Patriots, New York Jets head coach Aaron Glenn declined to say whether it'd be quarterback Justin Fields or Tyrod Taylor. Glenn has been playing this game for a few weeks now, and it doesn't appear that he'll relent in doing so. For what it's worth, Glenn noted that he "liked his [Fields] aggressiveness on the interception," presumably insinuating that he enjoyed watching his QB attempt to fit it into a tight window. As it stands, the 26-year-old will likely remain the Jets' signal-caller for the remainder of the season. With that said, it doesn't seem that Glenn is willing to shut the door on the possibility of Taylor playing altogether. Stay tuned, as it likely won't be official until much closer to game time on Thursday.

Garrett Wilson to Receive Imaging on Ailing Knee
ESPN's Rich Cimini reports that New York Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson (knee) will undergo imaging on Monday to determine the severity of his injury. The Ohio State alum left Sunday's contest after reaggravating the knee that forced him to miss the previous two games. It's unfortunate news for Wilson, whose team is slated for a quick turnaround on Thursday night against their division rival, the New England Patriots. When asked about his status, head coach Aaron Glenn declined to give a clear outlook, noting, "Hopefully, he'll be good to be able to play this week, but I don't want to stamp that just yet." Things are looking down for Wilson on the short week. Expect an update on him over the next day or so.

Tyler Allgeier Becoming a Sneaky Flex Option
Atlanta Falcons running back Tyler Allgeier logged 11 carries for 57 yards and a season-high two touchdowns in the team's 31-25 overtime loss to the Indianapolis Colts. While Bijan Robinson managers may view Allgeier as a frustrating timeshare partner, the fourth-year back is quietly becoming fantasy-relevant. In games the Falcons have either won or pushed to overtime, Allgeier has averaged 13.6 carries for 56.5 yards and five touchdowns across four games. With three upcoming games where Atlanta projects as a favorite, Allgeier could continue to provide sneaky fantasy value as a touchdown-dependent flex option for desperate teams.

Darius Slayton's Fantasy Value Hinges on Health of QB
New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton caught all four of his targets for 89 yards in the team's 24-20 loss to the Chicago Bears. Slayton briefly exited with a hamstring injury but returned in the third quarter to post his highest yardage total of the season. Since Malik Nabers tore his ACL in Week 4, Slayton has had to step up as one of the Giants' primary receiving options. However, rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart left the game with a concussion and is uncertain for Week 11 against the Green Bay Packers. Slayton's fantasy outlook will hinge on Dart's availability, as his production would likely drop if Russell Wilson starts in his place.

Jerry Jeudy Worth Adding Off the Waiver Wire?
Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jerry Jeudy put up his best game of the 2025 season in Week 10, hauling in six of 12 targets for 78 yards and a touchdown in the 27-20 loss to the New York Jets. Despite the return of Cedric Tillman and the Brown struggles in the passing game, Jeudy finally showcased his talent for the first time in the 2025 season. In PPR formats, Jeudy currently ranks as the WR64, averaging 7.5 fantasy points per game. Rookie quarterback Dillon Gabriel is averaging a league-low 5.0 yards per attempt this season, relying heavily on the tight ends in the passing game. Without a quarterback change, Jeudy will continue to be a volatile option in fantasy moving forward.

Tez Johnson a Must-Add in All Fantasy Leagues
Tampa Bay Buccaneers rookie wide receiver Tez Johnson hauled in four of five targets for 42 yards and two touchdowns in the team's 28-23 loss to the New England Patriots. Since Mike Evans (collarbone) went down, Johnson has emerged as a key piece of the Buccaneers' passing attack, recording at least 40 yards in every game since the injury, and scoring four touchdowns over his last four contests. The rookie from Oregon is averaging 14.2 fantasy points per game since Week 6, ranking 20th among wide receivers during that stretch. With Evans, Chris Godwin, and Jalen McMillan all sidelined, Johnson should remain a featured target for Baker Mayfield moving forward.

Cade Otton Emerging as High-Volume Option
Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cade Otton hauled in nine of 12 targets for 82 yards in Sunday's 28-23 loss to the New England Patriots. Otton set a new career high in targets and tied his career best with nine receptions. With multiple injuries to Tampa Bay's receiving corps, the fourth-year tight end has stepped into a key role. Chris Godwin (fibula) isn't expected back until late November, and Mike Evans (collarbone) remains sidelined, leaving Otton as one of Baker Mayfield's top options alongside Emeka Egbuka. The Buccaneers face the Buffalo Bills in Week 12, a matchup that could feature plenty of scoring opportunities for both teams. With injuries and bye weeks thinning out the tight end options, Otton deserves strong fantasy consideration this week.

Alec Pierce Scores First Touchdown of 2025 in Colts Overtime Win
Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Alec Pierce hauled in four of seven targets for 84 yards and a touchdown in the team's 31-25 overtime victory over the Atlanta Falcons. Pierce continued to build strong chemistry with quarterback Daniel Jones, logging a season-high 94.8% snap share and finding the end zone for the first time in 2025. Over his last four games, Pierce has averaged an impressive 91.5 receiving yards per game, which leads the NFL since Week 7. As the Colts head into their bye week, the emerging deep threat will look to continue his breakout campaign when they face the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 12.

Parker Washington a Must-Add Off the Waiver Wire
Jacksonville Jaguars second-year wide receiver Parker Washington scored two touchdowns on Sunday in the Jaguars' 36-29 loss to the Houston Texans. One of them came early in the first quarter, a seven-yard strike from quarterback Trevor Lawrence, which put the Jaguars up 10-0. The second came in the second quarter, a 73-yard punt return that put the Jaguars up 17-0. Additionally, Washington led the Jaguars in targets with seven; the next closest was running back Travis Etienne Jr. with three. Although Washington led the team in targets, he was only able to haul in three of them for 33 yards to go with his two touchdowns. For most of the afternoon, he was shadowed by Derek Stingley Jr., who is considered to be one of the best cornerbacks in the game. As long as Travis Hunter (knee) and Brian Thomas Jr. (ankle) continue to miss time, Washington will remain in the low-end WR2 conversation heading into Week 11, when the Jaguars take on the Los Angeles Chargers.

Trey Benson a Must-Add Heading into Week 11
Arizona Cardinals second-year running back Trey Benson (knee) has missed the last five games with a knee injury and remains one of, if not the best, IR stashes in fantasy football. Benson became the starting running back for the Cardinals in Week 4 after James Conner (foot) was injured and was reported to miss the remainder of the 2025 campaign. Benson had shown flashes of success in his limited snap share with Conner, averaging 5.52 yards per carry through three games on 21 carries. Bam Knight and Emari Demercado are getting the bulk of the workload right now, but neither has done enough to run away with the job. Benson, upon his return, will immediately provide fantasy managers who held on with RB2 value.

Chris Rodriguez Jr. Finds Pay Dirt, Injures his Shoulder in Week 10
Washington Commanders running back Chris Rodriguez Jr. (shoulder) exited during the second half of Sunday's Week 10 contest against the Detroit Lions. At the time of his departure, he had six carries for 16 rushing yards and a touchdown, sharing work fairly evenly with Jacory Croskey-Merritt and Jeremy McNichols. Rodriguez Jr. was named team Captain for Sunday's contest, and many reports suggested a potential shift in Commander running back ownership. Still, due to his injury, we couldn't see exactly how things would have played out. Croskey-Merritt ended the game with 11 carries for 30 yards (2.7 YPC), playing most of the second half, while McNichols finished with five carries for 25 yards. The Commanders head to Spain for their Week 11 tilt with the Miami Dolphins, who are bottom-10 against opposing running backs on the season, making Rodriguez Jr. a desperate flex-worthy start, if healthy next week.

Daron Payne Suspended One Game For Unsportsmanlike Conduct
NFL Insider Ian Rapoport reported that the Washington Commanders defensive lineman, Daron Payne, has been suspended one game for an act of unsportsmanlike conduct against the Detroit Lions on Sunday. Payne was disqualified for punching Amon-Ra St. Brown after an altercation following Jahmyr Gibbs' running in a 13-yard score in the second quarter. Payne turned and threw a right hook at St. Brown, connecting square in the helmet. It's unclear what led to that incident or what was said between the two players beforehand, but that was the end of it as Payne was ejected and the Commanders went down 22-3 before losing 44-22. The next game for the Commanders is in Week 11, where they travel to Santiago Bernabéu Stadium in Spain to take on the Miami Dolphins. The Commanders' defense is currently ranked near the bottom of the NFL, with recent reports placing them 29th in points allowed and 30th in yards allowed per game. Losing a veteran in Payne will not help; therefore, most Dolphins starters will be must-start plays in Week 11, such as Jaylen Waddle and De'Von Achane; meanwhile, players like Tua Tagovailoa and Malik Washington will be in the streamer conversation.

Oronde Gadsden Scheduled to Undergo an MRI Monday
ESPN's Adam Schefter reported Monday morning that Los Angeles Chargers tight end Oronde Gadsden (knee) is scheduled to undergo an MRI today for the knee injury that he suffered on Sunday Night Football. Gadsden exited the game in the third quarter and was seen limping to the locker room to be evaluated. At the time of his injury, the 22-year-old rookie had caught three of his six targets for only 13 yards. Although it was a slow night for him, the rookie out of Syracuse had cemented himself as a top-5 player at the tight end position in fantasy football. On the season, he has caught 35 of his 44 targets for 466 yards and two touchdowns. More impressively, he has only been the starter since Week 6, so most of that production has come in the last five weeks. In his absence, Tucker Fisk and Tyler Conklin picked up the slack because Will Dissly (coach's decision) was inactive.
