Drake Maye Has High-End QB1 Upside Against Suspect Defense
New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye ranks as the overall QB4 in fantasy scoring this season, and he remains in must-start territory for Sunday's Week 10 contest against the Detroit Lions in Germany. Maye has been on fire lately despite playing several games without his top targets, A.J. Brown (knee) and Romeo Doubs (shoulder). Over the last six weeks, Maye has 20 total touchdowns and just six turnovers, and that turnover number is partly skewed by his three interceptions from last Sunday. In Week 10, Maye should feast against a weak Lions defense. Detroit has allowed the third-most fantasy points and the third-most passing yards to opposing quarterbacks this season. Additionally, Maye could have some reinforcements on the way, as Brown and running back Rhamondre Stevenson (knee) are both listed as questionable. Specifically, if Brown plays, Maye's passing and rushing talents could put him in the mix to rank as the overall QB1 against an iffy defense. As it stands, he ranks as this week's QB4 overall and should be started in all leagues.

A.J. Brown "Has a Chance" to Play Sunday vs. Lions in Germany
New England Patriots wide receiver A.J. Brown (knee, ankle) "has a chance to play" in a Week 10 matchup against the Detroit Lions, according to Jeremy Fowler of ESPN. Brown is dealing with lingering knee and ankle injuries. He has been a limited participant in practice throughout the week. Brown officially enters Sunday's contest with a questionable designation. New England head coach Mike Vrabel noted that Brown has looked "pretty good" in practice. Brown has missed the previous two games and has played only three games total in 2026. Brown has recorded nine catches (on 20 targets) for 101 yards (11.2 yards per reception) and no touchdowns in 2026. If Brown can play, he will face a Detroit Lions pass defense that ranks last in the NFL, giving up 260.9 passing yards per game. If active, fantasy managers can confidently put him in their lineups.

Malik Washington Will Be Game-Time Decision
Maryland quarterback Malik Washington (lower body) will be a game-time decision for the Terrapins as they go up against Wisconsin on Saturday, according to CBS Sports' Matt Zenitz. Washington is RotoBaller's 14th-ranked quarterback and is projected to score 23.9 fantasy points against the Badgers. He is coming off a performance against Purdue in which he recorded 253 yards passing and a couple of touchdowns against one interception. He also rushed eight times for 32 yards and two additional touchdowns. Wisconsin has limited its opponents to 185.2 yards passing per game this season and held Rutgers to just 161 yards through the air a week ago. If Washington can't play, backup Cardell Williams will likely get the start.

Andre Szmyt Can Be Counted On In Week 10
Cleveland Browns kicker Andre Szmyt can be counted on as a reliable option for Week 10 against the Houston Texans. Szmyt is coming off of a nice game in Week 9 against the New Orleans Saints when he made all three of his field goal attempts. He connected on one from the 30-yard range, one from the 40-yard range, and one from 50 yards plus. Szmyt has been reliable all year with a 19-for-21 mark on all field goals with a long of 56 yards. He is also 12-for-13 on extra-point tries. The matchup against the Texans is a good one for the Browns' offense which makes it a nice one for Szmyt as well. The Texans allow 24.0 points per game defensively. Fantasy managers can start Szmyt with confidence as he looks to be one of the most reliable kickers in the league.

Amon-Ra St. Brown a Must-Start Wide Receiver if Active in Week 10
Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown (ribs) is officially questionable to play in his team's Week 10 matchup against the New England Patriots. St. Brown has been battling the injury for multiple weeks and was able to play through it in Week 9, so he could be in line to suit up against the Patriots on Sunday. Across eight games in 2026, St. Brown has recorded 61 catches for 657 yards and five touchdowns on 86 targets. The 27-year-old has been held out of the end zone since Week 3, which has held down his fantasy production of late. Still, he remains the clear number one option in the Lions' passing game, as he's seen double-digit targets in six out of eight weeks and at least eight targets in every game he's played in. The Patriots have also struggled against the pass this season, ranking 25th in the NFL in yards per pass attempt allowed (7.9). St. Brown remains a high-end WR1 option for fantasy managers if active in Week 10.

Drake London a Low-End WR1 in Unfavorable Week 10 Matchup
Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London was held in check by the Bengals last week, catching five balls for 68 yards and no touchdowns. While the 6-foot-4 wideout remains the unquestioned No. 1 receiving option in Atlanta, he has not gained more than 68 yards in each of the last four weeks and has just one receiving score so far this year. Things won't get any easier in Week 10 in a home matchup against the Chiefs, a defense that has held opposing wide receivers to the second-fewest fantasy points per game in 2026 (half-point PPR), allowing just two touchdown receptions to WRs through eight games, which is the fewest in the entire league. His inability to consistently find the end zone thus far and the difficult matchup bump the star receiver down to borderline WR1/2 status this week, ranking as the No. 12 wide receiver overall at RotoBaller.

LaWayne McCoy to Return for Louisville
Louisville wide receiver LaWayne McCoy (knee) will return for the Cardinals after nearly a month-long absence, according to On3's Pete Nakos. McCoy has missed Louisville's last two games due to a knee injury, but is set to make his way back to the field on Saturday, when the Cardinals take on North Carolina. The Tar Heels have allowed 227.2 yards through the air per game this season and gave up 245 yards passing to UConn a week ago. McCoy was off to a strong start before his injury, recording 25 receptions for 513 yards and four touchdowns over his first seven games of the season.

Sione Vaki Unlikely to See a Fantasy-Relevant Workload in Week 10
Detroit Lions running back Sione Vaki (ankle) is officially listed as questionable to play in his team's Week 10 matchup against the New England Patriots due to a lingering ankle injury. However, Vaki was able to play through the issue in Week 9, so he may be on track to suit up on Sunday. Vaki had a breakout game in Week 8 against the Minnesota Vikings, but he followed that up by logging just five touches against the Miami Dolphins in Week 9. With Lions RB1 Jahmyr Gibbs healthy for Week 10, Vaki appears unlikely to see a fantasy-relevant workload against New England. The 25-year-old remains a worthy handcuff stash for fantasy managers, but he should not be in starting lineups in Week 10.

Bijan Robinson an RB1 in Week 10 Despite Tough Matchup Versus Chiefs
Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson rushed 19 times for 100 yards and a touchdown in Week 9, while also getting back on track in the passing game, leading the team in targets with seven and turning them into a team-high six catches for an additional 47 yards. Look for the Pro Bowler to dominate backfield touches again in Week 10 against the Chiefs with Brian Robinson (hamstring) on IR and Khalil Herbert earning just three touches last week (one rush, two receptions). Kansas City has been a top eight defense against the run in terms of fantasy points per game, holding teams to 97.5 yards rushing per game and a miserly 3.6 yards per carry, although they've also allowed the seventh-most receiving yards per game to opposing backs. Robinson's involvement in both facets should allow him to be successful against any opponent, and he's always a threat to break off a big play for a touchdown. The 24-year-old ranks as the No. 4 running back overall at RotoBaller this week despite the tough matchup.

Harold Fannin Jr. Should Be Targeted Heavily In Week 10
Cleveland Browns tight end Harold Fannin Jr. was lightly used in Week 9's loss to the New Orleans Saints, but he did find the end zone. Expect him to return to his higher usage in Week 10 against the Houston Texans at home. With Shedeur Sanders under center, Fannin Jr. was targeted just two times and caught two passes for 42 yards, but one of those catches he turned into a touchdown. The two targets were a season-low for Fannin Jr. who was coming off season-highs in targets of nine and 12 in Weeks 8 and 9 respectively. Both of those were with Deshuan Watson under center and Watson is returning to the lineup this week at starting quarterback. Watson has shown a connection with Fannin Jr. and looks for him as a dependable outlet in the passing game. Couple that with the poor Texans pass defense and this looks like a great matchup for a Fannin Jr. bounce-back. The Texans rank No. 27 in the NFL in pass defense, allowing 235.6 passing yards per game and 12 passing touchdowns allowed. Denzel Boston, Cleveland's top wide receiver, is questionable with a toe injury and should he be out, Fannin Jr. would see even more usage in the pass game. Expect Fannin Jr. to return to his solid ways and he should be counted on as a good tight end play.

Jahmyr Gibbs a Top Running Back Option in Week 10
Through his first eight games played in 2026, Detroit Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs has recorded 1,132 yards from scrimmage and 11 touchdowns on 211 touches. The 24-year-old has been the focal point of the Detroit offense, recording at least 20 carries in six out of eight games and seeing at least six targets in five out of eight games. In Week 10, Gibbs and the Lions will take on the New England Patriots. New England has been solid against the run so far this season, ranking 10th in the NFL in yards per carry allowed (3.9). The Patriots have also only allowed one run of 20 or more yards all year, so it may be tough for Gibbs to find explosive plays as a rusher on Sunday. Still, Detroit figures to feed their star back early and often against New England. Gibbs profiles as a high-end RB1 option for fantasy managers in Week 10.

Bills Defense Hopes to Keep it Rolling
The Buffalo Bills' defense is RotoBaller's seventh-ranked defense as it faces off with the New York Jets on Sunday. Buffalo is projected to score eight fantasy points against the Jets, who were limited to just 229 total yards during a loss to the Chiefs last week. During New York's defeat, the Jets' offense averaged a slim 3.7 yards per play, was two of 12 on third down, and failed on each of its two attempted fourth-down conversions. Buffalo has held each of its last two opponents to 178 yards of offense or fewer while racking up six takeaways, albeit that has come against a string of backup quarterbacks. This week, the Bills will be tasked with slowing Jets quarterback Geno Smith, who has thrown for at least 250 yards passing in three of his last four games.

Jared Goff Looking to Bounce Back in Week 10
Across eight games in 2026, Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff has completed 67.8% of his pass attempts for 2,134 yards, 15 touchdowns, and two interceptions. While Goff's numbers for the year remain strong, he's recorded back-to-back weeks with fewer than 180 passing yards and an interception. In Week 10, the 32-year-old will have a chance to bounce back against the New England Patriots. New England has struggled to defend the pass so far this season, ranking 25th in the NFL in yards per pass attempt allowed (7.9). The Pats have been much better defending the run, which could force Detroit to turn to the air a bit more than they have in recent weeks. Goff has only thrown 25 passes in each of his last two games, which is partially responsible for his decline in production. Goff profiles as a low-end top-12 quarterback for fantasy managers in Week 10.

KC Concepcion Jr. Looking For More In Week 10
Cleveland Browns wide receiver KC Concepcion Jr. scored his first touchdown of his young career in Week 9 and looks to continue that momentum in a positive matchup in Week 10 at home against the Houston Texans. Concepcion Jr. hauled in four passes for 85 yards and a score against the New Orleans Saints last week. His average catch of 21.3 yards was the highest yards per reception of his career. The rookie out of Texas A&M had his best game overall and while that was with backup quarterback Shedeur Sanders under center, Concepcion Jr. will look to build on that breakout performance with Deshaun Watson back calling plays. The Texans defense is exploitable in the pass game, allowing 235.6 yards per game with 12 passing touchdowns which ranks No. 27 overall in the NFL. The air yards per catch for Concepcion Jr. against the Saints was a welcome sign for his fantasy owners as he had been mostly used on underneath routes with Watson at quarterback. Look for Concepcion Jr. to make more big plays in Week 10 and continue his breakout stretch. He will be even more relied upon if Denzel Boston, who is questionable with a toe injury, is unable to play.

J.T. Miller Records Two Assists Against Canucks
New York Rangers forward J.T. Miller played a pivotal role in Friday's 5-1 win over the Vancouver Canucks, notching two assists against his former team. He set up Gabe Perreault for the game-tying goal at even strength and collected a power-play assist on Oliver Bjorkstrand's game-winner. Miller hasn't found the back of the net in seven outings this month, but he has six assists. In total, he boasts 16 points (four goals, 12 assists) in 21 games. Miller has significantly toned down his physicality this season, averaging around one hit per game, but that hasn't helped him to regain the point-per-game form he had in Vancouver.
