Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver
Rashee Rice led the team in receiving on Sunday and also found the end zone for the third straight game, this time on the ground. In KC's 28-21 loss on the road to the Buffalo Bills in Week 9, Rice led the team in catches (four), targets (seven), and receiving yards (80) while also carrying the ball twice for six yards and his first rushing touchdown of the year. The 25-year-old continues to be the Chiefs' top offensive weapon despite making his season debut on Oct. 19 in the blowout win over the Las Vegas Raiders. Rice has now scored in all three of his games and has at least 80 receiving yards in two of his three games. In his season debut against the Raiders, the former second-rounder had only 42 receiving yards but found the end zone twice. Rice and the Chiefs will now head into their bye before a big divisional clash in Week 11 versus the Denver Broncos.

Los Angeles Rams running back
Kyren Williams wasn't involved in the passing game at all on Sunday, but he was efficient on the ground in the team's 34-10 victory over the visiting New Orleans Saints in Week 9. Williams had some nice volume in this one, handling a season-high 25 carries for a season-high 113 rushing yards and his third rushing touchdown of the year. It was the 25-year-old's first 100-yard rushing game in 2025. Williams hasn't been all that explosive on the ground for the Rams this year, but it was nice to finally see him top the century mark in a plus matchup with a positive game script all day. The former fifth-rounder has been more of an RB2 for fantasy managers this year in a Rams offense that prefers to air it out with the arm of quarterback
Matthew Stafford. Still, Williams should be considered a must-start in a big Week 10 divisional contest next Sunday versus a banged-up San Francisco 49ers defense.

Las Vegas Raiders rookie first-round running back
Ashton Jeanty had another mediocre performance on the ground in the team's Week 9 overtime loss to the visiting Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday, but he salvaged his day for fantasy managers by catching all five of his targets for 47 yards and a touchdown through the air. On the ground, Jeanty handled a team-high 13 carries for 42 yards (3.2 yards per carry). The 21-year-old was able to bounce back coming out of the bye week after he had a season-low six carries for 21 yards and only one catch for 13 yards in the Week 7 blowout loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. It's been slow going for Jeanty the last three games behind a shaky Raiders offensive line, and things won't get any easier on a short week on Thursday Night Football against a stout Denver Broncos defense in Week 10. Through his first eight NFL games, Jeanty has three rushing scores and three receiving touchdowns.

Green Bay Packers running back
Josh Jacobs has been playing through a calf injury in recent weeks, but he looked fully healthy in the Week 9 loss to the Carolina Panthers on Sunday at Lambeau Field. Jacobs led the backfield with 17 carries for 87 yards (5.1 yards per tote) and a touchdown, scoring for the fifth straight week and for the 10th time on the ground in eight games. Green Bay's loss to the Cleveland Browns back on Sept. 21 was the only time in 2025 so far in which Jacobs has not scored a rushing TD. In the last five games, the veteran back has 354 rushing yards and nine rushing scores. He also caught four of his five targets in the passing game for 13 yards in Sunday's 16-13 loss to Carolina. Jacobs has gone over 100 scrimmage yards in three straight games. Despite a tough upcoming matchup in Week 10 against the Philadelphia Eagles, Jacobs will remain a must-start RB in fantasy football.

Minnesota Vikings quarterback
J.J. McCarthy returned in Week 9 from an ankle injury that had sidelined him for five games and led his team to a massive victory on the road over the division rival Detroit Lions. McCarthy completed 14 of 25 pass attempts for 143 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception, adding 12 yards and a touchdown on nine rush attempts. While it was not the most efficient day for McCarthy from a yardage perspective, the 22-year-old showed flashes of his ability to pilot a productive NFL offense. McCarthy's ability to make plays with his legs also bodes well for his fantasy upside. The Vikings will host the resurgent Baltimore Ravens in Week 10.

Detroit Lions quarterback
Jared Goff did not have his cleanest game in Week 9, taking five sacks in his team's 27-24 loss to the Minnesota Vikings. Still, Goff managed to post solid production from a fantasy perspective, completing 25 of 37 pass attempts for 284 yards, two touchdowns, and zero interceptions. The 31-year-old has now thrown for 1,915 yards, 17 touchdowns, and three interceptions across eight starts in 2025. Unfortunately for Goff, the Lions' pass protection issues may continue going forward as they lost starting left guard Christian Mahogany (leg) to a serious-looking leg injury in Week 9. Still, Goff has a favorable matchup on paper in Week 10 when the Lions travel to Washington to face the Commanders.

New England Patriots wide receiver
DeMario Douglas had his best game of the season in his team's 24-23 Week 9 win over the Atlanta Falcons. Douglas recorded four catches for a team-best 100 receiving yards and a touchdown on six targets. Douglas was having a quiet season before this breakout game, as he had recorded 14 catches for 162 yards and two scores heading into Week 9. However, there's some reason to believe that this could be more than just a one-off performance. The Patriots lost wide receiver
Kayshon Boutte (hamstring) to a hamstring injury in Week 9. While it's unclear how much (if any) time Boutte will miss, his absence would push Douglas up the target pecking order in New England. The Patriots will travel to Tampa Bay to take on the Buccaneers in Week 10.

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver
Davante Adams picked up right where he left off before the team's Week 8 bye in Week 9. Adams recorded five catches for 60 yards and two touchdowns on seven targets in the Rams' 34-10 blowout win over the New Orleans Saints. Adams has now hauled in five touchdown grabs over his last two games played. The 32-year-old is in the midst of an excellent first season in Los Angeles with 36 catches for 391 yards and eight touchdowns on 70 targets. Additionally, star Rams wide receiver
Puka Nacua (ribs) exited Week 9 early due to a rib injury. Head coach Sean McVay said following the game that Nacua could have returned had the score been closer. Still, Adams would obviously stand to benefit from a target volume standpoint if Nacua were to miss time. Los Angeles will travel to San Francisco to take on the 49ers in Week 10.

Buffalo Bills tight end
Dalton Kincaid had a monster game in his team's 28-21 Week 9 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs, recording six catches for 101 yards and a touchdown on six targets. The 26-year-old has now recorded 27 receptions for 411 yards and four scores on 33 targets across seven games played in 2025. Kincaid missed Buffalo's Week 6 loss due to an oblique injury and was eased back into the lineup in the team's blowout Week 8 win, their first game back from their bye week. He appeared to be back to full health in Week 9, which is a great sign for both fantasy managers and the Bills. Kincaid profiles as a clear fantasy starter at the tight end position heading into a favorable Week 10 matchup against the Miami Dolphins.

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback
Trevor Lawrence did not have his best day as a passer in his team's 30-29 overtime Week 9 win over the Las Vegas Raiders, completing 23 of 34 pass attempts for 220 yards, zero touchdowns, and one interception. However, Lawrence saved his fantasy production by logging 24 yards and two touchdowns on nine rush attempts. Across eight starts this season, the 26-year-old has now thrown for 1,840 yards, nine touchdowns, and six picks. His rushing ability may currently be the most consistent part of his game, as he's run for 137 yards and four touchdowns on 39 attempts. Lawrence and the Jaguars have a very difficult matchup in Week 10 when they travel to Houston to take on the Texans.

Las Vegas Raiders quarterback
Geno Smith had arguably his best game in a Raiders uniform in his team's 30-29 overtime Week 9 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. The 35-year-old completed 29 of 39 pass attempts for 284 yards, four touchdowns, and one interception. Smith has mostly struggled so far this season. Heading into Week 9, he had thrown for 1,417 yards, seven touchdowns, and 10 interceptions across seven games played, leading to some questions about his job security in Las Vegas. Smith likely put those questions to bed for at least one week with his standout performance against Jacksonville. Still, Smith will remain tough for fantasy managers to trust in Week 10, as the Raiders have a difficult road matchup against their division rival, the Denver Broncos.

Detroit Lions tight end
Sam LaPorta caught six of his eight targets for 97 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's Week 9 loss against the Minnesota Vikings. His best play of the game was a 40-yard touchdown in which he withstood a bombardment of Vikings tackles and plowed his way across the goal line. The 24-year-old now has three touchdowns over his last four games and ranks as the overall TE7 in PPR leagues with 35 catches, 436 yards, and three scores in 2025. He should continue to be viewed as a top-10 fantasy tight end heading into Week 10 against the Washington Commanders.

Washington Commanders wide receiver
Luke McCaffrey (shoulder) exited during the first quarter of Sunday's Week 9 contest against the Seattle Seahawks. He appeared to suffer the injury while returning the game's opening kickoff. As a result of his injury, McCaffrey has been ruled out for the remainder of the game. The 24-year-old Rice product had taken on an expanded role in recent weeks, catching 10 passes for 184 yards and three touchdowns over his last six games. With McCaffrey,
Terry McLaurin (quadriceps), and
Noah Brown (groin, knee) all sidelined, the Commanders will turn to a combination of
Chris Moore,
Jaylin Lane, and
Treylon Burks in the No. 2 receiver role alongside
Deebo Samuel Sr.--Andersen PickardSource: Adam Schefter

Chicago Bears wide receiver
DJ Moore caught four of his six targets for 72 receiving yards during Sunday's Week 9 win over the Cincinnati Bengals. He also had a two-yard passing touchdown and a 17-yard rushing touchdown. We've heard for several months that Moore was going to have some unique ways of getting involved in new head coach Ben Johnson's system, but perhaps nobody expected the wide receiver to run and throw for a touchdown in the same game. The 28-year-old had his best fantasy performance (PPR) since Week 12 last season. He remains a low-end WR2 heading into Week 10 against the 2-7 New York Giants.

Chicago Bears rookie running back
Kyle Monangai rushed for 176 yards on 26 carries during Sunday's Week 9 win over the Cincinnati Bengals. He also caught three of his five targets for an additional 22 receiving yards. Monangai was thrust into the lead-back role with
D'Andre Swift (groin) sidelined, and he took full advantage of the opportunity, notching 29 touches in just his eighth career NFL game. The rookie seventh-round pick has played well enough over the last few weeks that he might be able to hold onto the lead-back role even when Swift is healthy again. At the very least, Monangai will carve out a sizable complementary role, giving him an RB3/flex floor every week. He's an RB3 heading into Week 10 against the New York Giants and could jump to the low-end RB1 tier if Swift is ruled out.
