Bears D/ST Not an Ideal Start Against Giants
The Chicago Bears' defense is coming off a rough outing, surrendering 42 points and 495 total yards, though they still managed 5.0 fantasy points thanks to two interceptions and a forced fumble. They continue to lead the league in takeaways with 19, three more than the next closest team. This week, they face rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart and the Giants. Dart has been extremely careful with the ball, with just 0.6% of his throws deemed interceptible. With 25+ mph winds expected, the Giants are likely to run a conservative, run-heavy game plan, with Dart likely to use his legs a lot. Given the matchup and game script, the Bears D/ST is not an ideal fantasy start in Week 10.

DJ Moore a Safe Option Despite Heavy Winds Expected
Chicago Bears wide receiver DJ Moore is coming off his two most productive receiving games of the season, averaging four catches for 72.5 yards over the past two weeks and even adding both a rushing and passing touchdown in last week's 47-42 win over Cincinnati. Ben Johnson has been moving Moore all over the formation, using him as a runner and in the quick passing game to maximize his impact. He gets a favorable matchup in Week 10 against a Giants defense that allows the fourth-most fantasy points to wide receivers. With 25+ mph winds expected, Moore's short-area usage should help keep him involved. He profiles as a reliable WR3 this week.

Cooper Kupp a Shaky Fantasy Option After Trade Deadline Brings Competition
Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Cooper Kupp (hamstring, heel) is trending toward playing against the Arizona Cardinals in Week 10, but he'll have a relatively low floor and ceiling in fantasy football. The 32-year-old has just 23 catches, 293 yards, and one touchdown this year, ranking as the overall WR62 in PPR leagues. His stock could drop even further as Tory Horton (shin) ascends and trade deadline acquisition Rashid Shaheed makes a quick impact. Kupp and Shaheed could share No. 2 receiver duties behind Jaxon Smith-Njigba this week, but the veteran receiver has fallen out of favor with most fantasy managers. He's an unreliable low-end WR4 against a Cardinals defense allowing the 10th-fewest fantasy points to wide receivers in 2025.

Jacory Croskey-Merritt Losing Role as Washington's Lead Back?
Washington Commanders rookie running back Jacory Croskey-Merritt has struggled over the past four games, totaling just 157 yards on 51 carries and no touchdowns. Croskey-Merritt's 3.1 yards per carry ranks sixth lowest among running backs with at least 25 carries in that span. That comes after a five-game stretch to begin the season where the rookie seventh-rounder was one of the best stories in the league, averaging a league-best 6.6 yards per carry and a ridiculous 72.1% success rate, per Fantasy Points Data Suite. Croskey-Merritt also owned the second-highest explosive run rate (15+ yards) at 11.6% in that time, but has not generated a single explosive run over the past four weeks. With third-year back Chris Rodriguez Jr. coming off his best game of the season against Seattle and being named a team captain for Sunday's matchup against the Lions, Croskey-Merritt may cede more work to Rodriguez. With a lack of involvement in the pass game, Croskey-Merritt finds himself in low-end RB3 territory for Week 10, ranking as RotoBaller's RB33 in PPR leagues.

Rome Odunze A Boom-or-Bust WR2 Against Giants
Chicago Bears wide receiver Rome Odunze is looking to rebound after being held without a catch in Week 9, seeing just three targets and recording two drops in the 47-42 win over Cincinnati. The second-year wideout has now struggled in three of his last four games. He draws a favorable matchup against a Giants defense that allows the fourth-most fantasy points to wide receivers. However, forecasted 25+ mph winds in Chicago could limit the Bears' downfield passing, which is critical to Odunze's production. He carries clear Boom-or-Bust value in Week 10, dependent on how much Chicago chooses to push the ball vertically.

Rashid Shaheed Could Make Fantasy Impact with New Team Right Away
Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Rashid Shaheed was acquired less than one week ago, but he could make an immediate impact while facing off against the Arizona Cardinals in Week 10. The 27-year-old had 44 catches, 499 yards, and two touchdowns through nine games with poor quarterback play in New Orleans, so the sky is the limit as he gets paired up with a gunslinging quarterback in Sam Darnold, who threw for 330 yards and four touchdowns just last week. While Shaheed may face a brief adjustment period as he acclimates to the new system, we expect that he'll be thrust into a high-volume role pretty quickly, even if by necessity. Seattle is dealing with numerous wide receiver injuries, leaving Shaheed in line to share No. 2 receiver duties with Cooper Kupp (hamstring, heel). Managers should view Shaheed as a WR3/flex most weeks. His floor and ceiling should both increase after just a few games with the Seahawks.

Jets D/ST on Streaming Radar in Week 10
The New York Jets' D/ST has been one of the more disappointing units this season, although they'll get a chance at a productive fantasy outing in Week 10's matchup with the lowly Browns' offense. New York's defense took a massive hit earlier in the week when the team traded away defensive tackle Quinnen Williams and cornerback Sauce Gardner. Still, Cleveland's offense has been one of the worst in the league this season, averaging a dismal 15.8 points per game (fourth-fewest). Furthermore, rookie quarterback Dillon Gabriel has eclipsed 190 passing yards only once in four starts, and the team has surpassed 17 points just once in eight games. Even with a few big-name stars leaving New York's defense, the unit is on the streaming radar against one of the NFL's least productive offenses. They're RotoBaller's D/ST10 for Sunday's bout with Cleveland.

Kyle Monangai Looking for Another Huge Game Against Giants
Chicago Bears rookie running back Kyle Monangai exploded in Week 9, racking up 198 scrimmage yards on 29 touches with D'Andre Swift sidelined. Swift (groin/personal) is questionable again for Week 10 after missing Friday's practice due to personal reasons, leaving Monangai's workload potentially wide open. The matchup is ideal, as the Giants have allowed the second-most fantasy points to running backs and just surrendered massive outings to Saquon Barkley and Christian McCaffrey. With heavy winds expected, the Bears should lean on the run game. Monangai carries high-end RB3 value if Swift plays, but if Swift sits, Monangai has legitimate RB1 upside.

D'Andre Swift May Have Smaller Role If he's Active
Chicago Bears running back D'Andre Swift (groin, personal) is questionable for Week 10 against the New York Giants. After missing Week 9's game against the Cincinnati Bengals, he sat out Friday's practice due to personal reasons. Through seven games, he's produced 656 scrimmage yards and five touchdowns on 118 touches. He draws a favorable matchup if he suits up, as New York has allowed the second-most fantasy points to running backs and just surrendered big performances to Saquon Barkley and Christian McCaffrey in back-to-back weeks. However, rookie Kyle Monangai's recent emergence lowers Swift's floor. If active, Swift should be viewed as a mid-range RB2 with some usage risk.

Adonai Mitchell an Intriguing Deep-League Stash
New York Jets wide receiver Adonai Mitchell could make his debut with the team this weekend when they take on the visiting Cleveland Browns at MetLife Stadium. The former Texas Longhorn was acquired by New York earlier this week in a trade with the Indianapolis Colts and has already drawn praise from his coaches and teammates. However, head coach Aaron Glenn was non-committal ahead of Week 10's outing on whether or not he'd suit up. The Jets' passing offense has left much to be desired in 2025, creating space for Mitchell to make an impact down the stretch. The former second-round pick was an exceptional separator in college and possesses immense athleticism. For now, fantasy managers are better off taking a wait-and-see approach, particularly against a vaunted Browns' defense. Mitchell lands as RotoBaller's PPR WR91 if he's active for Sunday's outing.

Kyler Murray's Future with Cardinals in Limbo
Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray (foot) could be traded or released next offseason as his future with the team is in limbo, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. Murray maintained a 68.1 percent completion rate with 962 passing yards, 173 rushing yards, seven total touchdowns, and four turnovers through the first five games this season. He then missed three games due to injury, and his absence was extended even further this week as Arizona placed him on injured reserve. Although Murray is sidelined due to injury, there has been some speculation about whether he would have still been benched for Jacoby Brissett even if healthy. Regardless of the behind-the-scenes details, Schefter's report paints a clear picture of a potential separation between the Cardinals and their former No. 1 overall selection. Arizona must make a decision on his future by the fifth day of the 2026 league year next March, when an additional $19.5 million becomes guaranteed. The team's options are to release him, keep him, or try to find a trade partner that is willing to take on the final two years of his expensive contract. One source told Schefter that "separation is imminent" between the two parties, but there's still plenty of time for that sentiment to change between now and March. In the meantime, it'll be Brissett under center for the Cardinals.

Bijan Robinson Remains a Top Option at Running Back in Week 10
Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson will go up against the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday in Germany. The 23-year-old has just four total touchdowns on the season (two rush, two receiving), but still stands as the sixth-most productive running back for fantasy in half-point PPR formats due to his involvement in both the running and passing attack. The third-year pro has tallied at least 92 yards from scrimmage with Michael Penix Jr. under center, and is averaging seven targets and five receptions per game in those seven contests. The University of Texas product takes on a Colts defense that has been mostly tough against the run in 2025, although it allowed two rushing TDs last week and will be without starting DT DeForest Buckner (neck) in Week 10. They're also top 12 in terms of receptions (41) and reception yards allowed (273) to opposing running backs, and are allowing 24.5 points per game on the road compared to 16.6 PPG at home. Expect Robinson to be heavily involved regardless of game script, and he sets up as a top option at running back again in Berlin.

Caleb Williams Could be Affected by Strong Winds Against Giants
Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams is coming off a breakout performance in Week 9, finally snapping a bad two-game stretch with 38.7 fantasy points in a 47-42 win over Cincinnati. Through eight games, the 2024 No. 1 pick has completed 158 of 257 passes for 1,916 yards with 12 touchdowns and four interceptions, while also averaging 26 rushing yards per game and adding three total scores on the ground and through the air. Williams draws a favorable matchup in Week 10 against a New York Giants defense that has allowed the fourth-most fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks. However, projected 25 mph winds could limit the passing game and cap his upside. Williams should still be viewed as a low-end QB1, but weather might keep his ceiling lower than hoped for.

Marcus Mariota A Solid Streaming Option For Week 10 Against Detroit
Washington Commanders quarterback Marcus Mariota is set to make his fourth start of the season with starting quarterback Jayden Daniels (elbow) out for an extended period of time. Mariota has been solid in his first three starts, completing 66.7% of his passes for 576 yards with four touchdowns and three interceptions to go with 102 rushing yards and a touchdown on 16 carries. It's ideal that Washington's offense doesn't have to change much with Mariota in for Daniels, as both quarterbacks offer similar dual-threat abilities, although the veteran is a much less dynamic version. The 32-year-old gets a solid matchup in Week 10 against a Detroit Lions defense that has allowed the 11th most fantasy points per game to opposing quarterbacks. Mariota is ranked as RotoBaller's QB15 for Week 10.

Tyler Johnson a Desperation Week 10 Play
New York Jets wide receiver Tyler Johnson can't be relied upon in Week 10 when his team squares off with the Cleveland Browns at home. The former Los Angeles Ram was New York's most productive wideout in their win over the Bengals in Week 8, corralling 3-of-5 targets for a team-leading 64 yards and a touchdown. Johnson's score was his first of the season, and he's now recorded at least three receptions and 60 receiving yards in back-to-back games. While the 27-year-old has ascended the wide receiver pecking order, his playing time seems doomed to take a hit with the addition of ex-Indianapolis Colt Adonai Mitchell. It's unknown if Mitchell will be active for Sunday's contest, although he's already making waves in practice and is listed second on the team's depth chart behind Garrett Wilson (knee). Even if Mitchell sits, Johnson will be tough to trust against a suffocating Browns defense. He's RotoBaller's PPR WR70 for this weekend's clash.
