Jaguars Viewing Jakobi Meyers as a Long-Term Piece?
Jaguars reporter Ryan O'Halloran of The Florida Times-Union said on a recent radio appearance that the price the team paid to acquire wide receiver Jakobi Meyers indicates that the team views him as more than just a rental. Jacksonville traded fourth and sixth-round draft picks to the Las Vegas Raiders in exchange for Meyers on Tuesday. Meyers will provide immediate aid to a Jaguars wide receiver room that will be without Travis Hunter (knee) for at least three more games and could be without both Brian Thomas Jr. (ankle) and Dyami Brown (concussion) in Week 10. Meyers recorded 33 catches for 352 yards and zero touchdowns on 49 targets across seven games for Las Vegas this season. If O'Halloran is correct and Jacksonville plans to keep Meyers beyond 2025, his presence could be a slight negative for the dynasty value of Hunter and Thomas Jr.

Isaiah Bond Battling Foot Injury, Expected to Miss Practice on Wednesday
Cleveland Browns rookie wide receiver Isaiah Bond (foot) is dealing with a foot injury that is expected to keep him from practicing on Wednesday, per ESPN's Daniel Oyefusi. Bond's availability for his team's Week 10 matchup against the New York Jets appears to be in jeopardy. The 21-year-old has recorded 11 catches for 123 yards on 30 targets across eight games so far this season. However, he was held without a catch on four targets in his final two games before the Browns' Week 9 bye. If Bond is sidelined in Week 10, wide receiver Jerry Jeudy and tight ends David Njoku and Harold Fannin Jr. could see a slight bump in target share. Additionally, wide receiver Cedric Tillman (hamstring) could make his return in Week 10 from a hamstring injury that has sidelined him since Week 4. Even if Bond can play, he should likely remain off fantasy radars in Week 10 against New York.

Alec Pierce Emerging as a More Reliable Weapon in Indianapolis
Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Alec Pierce has almost exclusively been known as a downfield pass-catcher throughout his career. Across his first three NFL seasons, Pierce averaged 4.3 targets per game and 17.6 yards per reception. Now in his fourth season, Pierce is still making big plays. However, there are signs that Indianapolis is viewing him as a more well-rounded wide receiver. Through his first seven games played in 2025, Pierce is averaging 6.4 targets per contest. He's been particularly involved in recent weeks with 28 targets over his last three games played. Pierce has yet to find the end zone this season, but he scored seven touchdowns across 16 games in 2024. Heading into a Week 10 matchup against the Atlanta Falcons, Pierce should be rostered in all fantasy leagues with 12 or more teams.

Chris Godwin Not Expected to Practice on Wednesday
Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin (leg) is not expected to practice on Wednesday, per Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times. Godwin missed the team's final three games before their Week 9 bye due to a leg injury, and it appears he may not be ready to return in Week 10 against the New England Patriots. It's beginning to look like somewhat of a lost season due to injury for Godwin, who also missed Tampa Bay's first three games of 2025 while recovering from the dislocated ankle that ended his 2024 season. In the two games he's played this season, Godwin has recorded six catches for 52 yards on 14 targets. If he remains sidelined in Week 10, Buccaneers rookie wideout Tez Johnson could maintain a sizable role in the team's offense. Johnson has recorded 10 catches for 146 yards and two touchdowns on 18 targets over his last three games played. Veteran wideout Sterling Shepard and tight end Cade Otton are also candidates to be the team's number two pass-catcher behind star wide receiver Emeka Egbuka.

Bucky Irving Not Expected to Practice on Wednesday
Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Bucky Irving (foot, shoulder) is not expected to practice on Wednesday, according to Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times. Stroud reports that Irving is "still in the rehab phase." The 23-year-old has not played since Week 4 as he battles foot and shoulder injuries. There had been hope that Irving would be ready to return for Tampa Bay's Week 10 matchup against the New England Patriots coming off the team's Week 9 bye. However, it appears that Irving's status for the game is still very much up in the air. If Irving misses a fifth consecutive game in Week 10, Buccaneers running backs Rachaad White and Sean Tucker would likely split backfield reps against New England. In Tampa Bay's Week 8 win over the New Orleans Saints, White saw 15 total touches compared to 12 for Tucker.

Quinshon Judkins Expected to Practice on Wednesday
Cleveland Browns rookie running back Quinshon Judkins (shoulder) is expected to return to practice on Wednesday ahead of Week 10. Judkins suffered an AC joint sprain in Week 8, but the Week 9 bye provided valuable recovery time. Through seven games, the rookie has handled 118 carries for 486 yards and five rushing touchdowns, while adding 12 receptions for 60 yards, solidifying his role as the lead back in Cleveland's offense. The Browns draw a favorable Week 10 matchup against the New York Jets, who have allowed the 11th-most fantasy points to opposing running backs this year. Judkins is on track to play and should be viewed as a strong RB2 with touchdown upside in this matchup.

Tory Horton's Role Uncertain After Recent WR Acquisition
Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Tory Horton has been a touchdown machine in his rookie season, scoring five touchdowns on just 13 receptions. He posted a career day in Week 9 with four catches for 48 yards and two scores while logging a season-high 73% snap share. However, Seattle's trade for Rashid Shaheed may limit Horton's fantasy trajectory. Shaheed recorded 44 receptions in nine games with the Saints this season and is expected to slide in as the No. 2 option alongside Jaxon Smith-Njigba. With Shaheed likely to command consistent snaps and targets, Horton becomes a far more volatile play. He should be viewed as a stash-only option in deeper leagues, not a weekly fantasy starter.

Isaiah Davis' Breakout Halted by Trade Deadline Outcome
New York Jets running back Isaiah Davis was one of the bigger losers of the trade deadline. After weeks of speculation that the team might move Breece Hall, the Jets ultimately held onto their starter, keeping him locked in as the clear RB1. Davis was coming off the best performance of his young career before the bye, totaling 109 scrimmage yards on 12 touches, showing burst and efficiency when given opportunities. However, his path to meaningful volume remains limited with Hall still leading the backfield. The Jets also face a difficult Week 10 matchup against Cleveland, a defense allowing the second-fewest fantasy points to running backs. Davis currently profiles as a stash-and-hold handcuff rather than a startable option.

Olamide Zaccheaus Steps Up in Bears' Passing Attack
Chicago Bears wide receiver Olamide Zaccheaus is coming off his best performance of the season, posting six receptions for 58 yards and a touchdown in Week 10 against Cincinnati. With rookie Luther Burden III (concussion) sidelined, Zaccheaus logged his second-highest snap share of the year (66%) and delivered as the primary slot option in Ben Johnson's scheme. He's developed solid chemistry with Caleb Williams, and now draws a favorable Week 11 matchup against the Giants, who allow the fourth-most fantasy points to opposing wideouts. If Burden remains out, Zaccheaus carries deep-league FLEX value against a struggling Giants secondary.

Colston Loveland Finally Breaks Out for the Bears
Chicago Bears rookie tight end Colston Loveland broke out in a big way in Week 9, catching six of seven targets for 118 yards and two touchdowns in the Bears' 47-42 win over the Bengals. The highlight came on a 58-yard game-winning touchdown, capping off a monster performance that pushed Chicago to a 5-3 record. With Cole Kmet exiting early due to a concussion, Loveland stepped in as the primary tight end, logging 79% of the offensive snaps. Now, with Kmet still in concussion protocol entering Week 10, Loveland could once again handle a full workload against the New York Giants, who have allowed the ninth-most passing yards in the NFL this season. If Kmet remains sidelined, Loveland is a must-start fantasy option across all formats, offering TE1 upside in Week 10.

Darius Slayton Among Fantasy Winners After Trade Deadline
New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton emerged as one of the quiet winners of the NFL Trade Deadline. While several teams reshaped their receiving corps during the deadline, the Giants stood pat, signaling confidence in their current group and keeping Slayton locked in as a top option. Through seven games, Slayton has caught 19 of 30 targets for 254 yards without finding the end zone. Despite modest production, he's played on 85% of the team's offensive snaps, maintaining a strong role in the offense. With rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart continuing to impress, Slayton's breakout could be right around the corner. In Week 10, Slayton draws a favorable matchup against the Chicago Bears, who have allowed the fifth-most fantasy points per game to wide receivers. Given his snap share and matchup, Slayton profiles as an intriguing deep-league FLEX flier this week.

Marcus Mariota Set for Fourth Start of the Season
With Jayden Daniels (elbow) expected to miss time following a gruesome Week 9 injury, Marcus Mariota is set to take over as the Washington Commanders' starting quarterback for the foreseeable future. In three starts this season, the veteran has completed 52 of 78 passes (66.7%) for 576 yards, throwing four touchdowns and three interceptions, while adding 102 rushing yards and a touchdown on 16 carries. Mariota draws a favorable Week 10 matchup against the Detroit Lions, who have allowed the 10th-most fantasy points per game to quarterbacks this season. With his dual-threat ability and favorable matchup, Mariota profiles as a low-end QB2 for Week 10, and potentially beyond if Daniels remains sidelined.

Luke Musgrave Set to be the Packers New TE1
Green Bay Packers tight end Luke Musgrave is set to step up as the team's new TE1 with the unfortunate injury to Tucker Kraft (knee) in Week 9. Kraft is out for the season, and Musgrave becomes the next man up. Musgrave is also not a nobody; he was actually drafted ahead of Kraft in the 2023 NFL draft. Musgrave was the starter for most of his rookie season until an injury opened the door for Kraft. For a team looking for a replacement at the tight end spot after Kraft's injury, Musgrave is a likely candidate and worth the pick-up. However, fantasy managers should temper their expectations, as Jayden Reed (collarbone, foot) is set to return soon, and the Packers' pass-catchers still include Christian Watson, Romeo Doubs, Matthew Golden, and now Musgrave. The point being, there are a lot of mouths to feed, and what made Kraft so special was his ability to create yards after catch (15.3 yards per reception). Moving forward, fantasy managers should view Musgrave as a touchdown-dependent TE2.

Tre Tucker in Line For More Opportunities Against the Broncos?
The Las Vegas Raiders traded away Jakobi Meyers on Tuesday, and now wide receiver Tre Tucker is listed as the team's No. 1 pass-catcher. Obviously, tight end Brock Bowers is the No. 1 pass-catching option for the Raiders offense, but Meyers was averaging seven targets per game. Those targets now have to go to somebody else, with Tucker and Bowers being the most likely candidates. Tucker has had some spike weeks in 2025, with a three-touchdown game back in Week 3, but has been more of a boom-or-bust WR3 option for fantasy managers with 427 receiving yards and four touchdowns through nine weeks. With Meyers on the move and a clear path for more targets, Tucker could work his way into the low-end WR2 conversation moving forward, but certainly has to prove it first. Tyler Lockett, Dont'e Thornton, and Jack Bech are not much of a threat for targets at this time.

Devin Singletary Providing RB3 Value in Week 10?
New York Giants running back Devin Singletary was expected to have an increased role this weekend with Cam Skattebo (ankle) sidelined for the rest of the season. However, nobody expected him to out-touch Week 9's hottest waiver wire pickup, Tyrone Tracy Jr. Singletary not only out-touched Tracy 10 to nine, but he also played 56% of the snaps compared to Tracy's 44%. Singletary was also more efficient with his touches, averaging 5.38 YPC to Tracy's 3.60 YPC. It's a small sample size of one game, so it's important not to overreact, considering Tracy was the starter in 2024; however, it's a situation to monitor moving forward, and Singletary no longer deserves to be on the waiver wire in 12-team formats. He should be rostered heading into Week 10 and has some RB3 value against the Chicago Bears, who rank middle of the pack against opposing running backs.
