Jeremy McNichols Could Be Option In Deep PPR Leagues For Week 10
Washington Commanders running back Jeremy McNichols has maintained a consistent role as the team's most trusted option on pass downs. McNichols has totaled 17 carries for 143 yards and a touchdown to go with 12 catches on 17 targets for 129 yards in nine games this season. The 29-year-old led Washington in receiving in their Week 8 loss at Kansas, catching five of his six targets for 64 yards, the second most in a game of his career. That was also his highest snap share in a game this season at 43.4%, but he's mostly been limited to late down responsibilities while rookie Jacory Croskey-Merritt and Chris Rodriguez Jr. handle the early down carries. In a Week 10 matchup where Washington is a sizable home underdog against the Lions, McNichols could be on the field more often in a negative game script. McNichols has some sneaky PPR value in deeper leagues on Sunday.

Cam Little a Solid Starting Kicker in Week 10
Jacksonville Jaguars kicker Cam Little’s stock is on the rise after nailing an NFL-record 68-yard field goal last week. However, with the Jaguars offense banged up, his long distance ability may not translate into enough opportunities for a big fantasy day. The Jaguars will be without Brian Thomas Jr., so it will be even harder for them to move the ball against what is already a tough matchup to start with. In their previous matchup with the Texans this season, the Jaguars scored just 17 points with more healthy weapons, so it’s hard to see the upside with Little this week. However, he still should be viewed as a solid option given his big leg and solid floor this season. Little should be considered a low end starting kicker in Week 10.
Tetairoa McMillan a Must-Start if Active for Divisional Contest
Carolina Panthers wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Week 10 against the New Orleans Saints, and head coach Dave Canales acknowledged that he's concerned about the rookie's status. However, if McMillan does suit up on Sunday, he'll rank as a low-end WR2 and should be started in all fantasy leagues. The 22-year-old has found plenty of success in his first pro season, catching 41 passes for 558 yards and two touchdowns while ranking as the overall WR21 in PPR leagues. He's a high-volume target in an offense that passes the ball a decent amount; he had both a 100-yard game and a multi-touchdown game within the first six weeks of his NFL debut. McMillan is a strong WR2 option for the rest of the season, but as long as he's on the injury report, managers will need to confirm his availability 90 minutes before kickoff.

Cairo Santos a Must-Sit with Windy Conditions Expected
Chicago Bears kicker Cairo Santos has been inconsistent this season, converting just 78% of his field goal attempts. He's seen plenty of recent volume, with him averaging 3.7 field goal attempts over his last three games. This season, Santos ranks as the No. 11 kicker in fantasy scoring on a per-game basis. However, Week 10 sets up poorly. With 25 mph winds and mid-30s temperatures expected in Chicago, kicking conditions will be difficult. Combine that with Ben Johnson's aggressive fourth-down tendencies, and Santos' opportunities could be limited. Fantasy managers should look elsewhere at kicker this week.

Trevor Lawrence Firmly a QB2 Against Texans
Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence may have a tough time in Week 10. The Jaguars face the Houston Texans, who have one of the top defenses in the NFL, and are especially strong against the pass. Combining that with a banged up receiving core, and you’ve got a recipe for a tough outing. However, Lawrence has shown capable of producing big fantasy games in tough matchups after a great rushing performance against the Kansas City Chiefs. He also rushed for two touchdowns last week, which could be a good way to still produce fantasy points in a tough situation this week. That makes Lawrence a capable starter in bigger leagues and superflex leagues in Week 10.
Colston Loveland Bound to Regress in Week 10
Chicago Bears rookie tight end Colston Loveland is coming off a huge performance, posting 118 yards and two touchdowns in the 47-42 win over Cincinnati. The breakout game finally arrived for the 10th overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, beating his previous career high in yards by 80 yards. However, that surge came with veteran Cole Kmet leaving early due to a concussion. Kmet is off the injury report and set to return for Week 10 against the Giants. On the season, Kmet has played 70% of the snaps compared to Loveland's 56%, and his presence has consistently capped Loveland's routes and target share. With Kmet back in the mix and 25+ mph winds expected to limit the passing game, Loveland is a strong candidate for regression this week.

Chris Rodriguez Jr. Has Flex Value With Increased Workload Expected in Week 10
Washington Commanders running back Chris Rodriguez Jr. is coming off his best game of the season in Week 9 against the Seahawks and has been named a team captain for Sunday's matchup against the Detroit Lions. Rodriguez recorded a season-high 12 carries for 65 yards and his second touchdown of the season last week against Seattle and is expected to see more work in Week 10. The third-year back out of Kentucky has consistently run hard when given opportunities. Offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury praised Rodriguez when speaking with the media on Friday, saying, "We have to take what's blocked," and adding that Rodriguez "did a really nice job" of doing that and has "played at a high level" whenever the team has needed him to step up. The 25-year-old should be in line to at least split early down carries with rookie Jacory Croskey-Merritt, with the potential to take on more if he continues to run well while veteran Jeremy McNichols handles pass-down responsibilities. Rodriguez is in flex consideration in deeper leagues for Week 10 against the Detroit Lions.

Drake London Trending Up in Matchup With Colts in Germany
Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London is coming off his biggest game of the season, catching nine of his 14 targets for 118 yards and three touchdowns. After being held scoreless over the first three games of the season, he's now recorded a touchdown catch and gone over 100 yards receiving in three of his last four games, and now has four straight games with double-digit targets, which is the longest active streak in the NFL. The 24-year-old has seen his average depth of target (aDOT) go from 8.6 yards over the first three games of the season to 10.9 yards over his last four, and he'll take on a Colts defense in Week 10 that has been generous, yielding the ninth-most fantasy points per game to opposing wideouts, is allowing the fourth-most receiving yards per game over their last three games (268.7), and is allowing 24.5 points per game on the road compared to 16.6 PPG at home. In what should be a high-scoring affair in Germany, London sets up as a top-five option at receiver in Week 10.

Devin Singletary to Remain Involved Despite Not Starting
New York Giants running back Devin Singletary's fantasy value is largely dependent on game flow, and he could split snaps with Tyrone Tracy Jr. during Sunday's Week 10 contest against the Chicago Bears. Singletary handled 56 percent of the snaps last week, registering eight carries for 43 yards, plus an additional two catches and eight receiving yards. Offensive coordinator Mike Kafka recently confirmed that Tracy will earn the start in Week 10, but his comments indicated that the exact workload split is dependent on game flow. In other words, Singletary could pace the backfield in snaps, Tracy could lead the way, or we might see another 50-50 split. With uncertainty continuing to surround this backfield post-Cam Skattebo (ankle) injury, fantasy managers should be wary of deploying Singletary as anything more than a low-end RB3/flex. He's merely a desperation option who can help managers short-term as their roster deals with bye weeks or injuries.

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.
