Xavier Legette may have increased involvement in the passing game in this week's matchup against the Saints in Week 10. The Carolina WR was a non-factor last week against the Green Bay Packers, only logging one reception for 22 yards.
Tetairoa McMillan was limited in Friday's practice with a hamstring injury and is questionable to start in Week 10. The rookie has been the Panthers' top receiver this season with 12.1 PPR Fantasy Points Per Game. If McMillan misses Sunday's game, Legette is likely to move up on the depth chart and become one of
Bryce Young's top targets. Although Legette has not been productive for fantasy players this season, there was one notable exception: Week 7 against the Jets. In that game, Legette was the top receiver targeted as he had nine receptions for 92 yards, one receiving touchdown, and recorded 24.2 PPR fantasy points. So it is possible he could provide more fantasy production in an expanded role. Monitor McMillan's status before Sunday's game, and if he is out, consider Legette as a deeper flex play for Week 10 against the New Orleans Saints.

Chuba Hubbard was relegated to the backup running back role again in Week 9. Last week, the fifth-year RB only played on 22% of snaps, recorded 17 yards on five carries, and logged 1.7 PPR fantasy points, which was his lowest in a single game this season. Since returning from a calf injury in Week 7, Hubbard has totaled 82 rushing yards and averaged 5.5 PPR Fantasy Points Per Game. In that same span of time,
Rico Dowdle outperformed Hubbard with 263 yards and 14.7 PPR fantasy points scored per game. Fantasy players should leave Hubbard on the bench as a handcuff to Dowdle until further notice. Those who don't roster Dowdle can consider cutting Hubbard before Sunday if they need to make any more roster room.

Rico Dowdle is set for a favorable matchup against the New Orleans Saints in Week 10. Against running backs over the last four weeks, the Saints gave up 521 rushing yards, which is the fourth-most of all teams, and four rushing touchdowns, which is tied for the third-most. Dowdle was the clear lead back for Carolina in Week 9, playing on 73.6% of snaps. In that game, Dowdle rushed for 130 yards on 25 carries, with two rushing TDs, and he totaled 28.1 PPR fantasy points. In the last five games, Dowdle had three rushing TDs, averaged 6.3 yards per carry, and averaged 22.1 PPR Fantasy Points Per game. He exceeded 28 points three times during that span. With a plus matchup against the Saints in Week 10, fantasy players should start Dowdle as a prime must-start option in all formats.

Bryce Young logged his worst fantasy performance of the 2025 season last week. The third-year quarterback registered only 4.0 fantasy points and did not record any passing touchdowns for the first time since Week 3. In Week 10, Young is in line to bounce back with a potentially decent outing against one of the worst teams in the league, the 1-8 Saints. This season, New Orleans ranks 21st in Fantasy Points Per Game allowed to QBs. Last week, the New Orleans pass defense gave up a season-high 281 passing yards and four TD passes to Rams QB
Matthew Stafford. Fantasy players who roster Young in deeper superflex leagues can consider starting him against the Saints as a low-end QB2 if they need a lineup plug-in. If
Tetairoa McMillan (hamstring) does not play, though, Young may only post adequate totals at best.

Buffalo Bills kicker
Matt Prater has been a victim of the offense's success at times this season. The team consistently moves the ball downfield and scores, but the high touchdown percentage has limited Prater's field goal opportunities. The kicker is fourth in the league with 25 extra points made, but ranks just 20th with 12 field goals. Prater's 85.7% conversion rate is adequate, but his lack of opportunities has frustrated fantasy owners throughout the season. Week 10 should bring another positive matchup where Prater maintains a high floor, but will unlikely emerge as a top-tier kicker this week. Despite the lack of high-end scoring, he does remain a steady play for teams in need of a five-to-ten point week from their kicker.

The Buffalo Bills' defense has been aggressive following their Week 7 bye, and should continue their dominance against divisional rival Miami on Sunday. The Bills have 10 sacks and five turnovers forced over their last two games, and a mistake-prone
Tua Tagovailoa could set them up with another big day. Tagovailoa has thrown 11 interceptions, and fumbled six times this season, which an aggressive defense can feast on. Defensive end Joey Bosa practiced fully on Friday, giving the team's most explosive pass rusher a green light for Sunday. Despite the losses of A.J. Epenesa (concussion) and Shaq Thompson (hamstring), the Bills defense has more than enough firepower to stifle the Dolphins and put up a big day for fantasy owners.

The Pittsburgh Steelers' defense bounced back in a big way in Week 9, forcing six turnovers and recording five sacks in a 27-20 win over the Indianapolis Colts. They'll face another tough test in Week 10 as they go on the road to take on the Los Angeles Chargers. The Chargers rank fifth in total offense and average nearly 24 points per game. We've seen two very different versions of Pittsburgh's defense this season, making it difficult to predict which one will show up on Sunday night. Headlined by EDGE T.J. Watt and defensive back Jalen Ramsey, the Steelers are relatively healthy and have the talent to pressure
Justin Herbert and disrupt Los Angeles' offensive rhythm. Fantasy managers can start Pittsburgh's DST in hopes of another strong outing, but should do so understanding there's clear volatility in play.

Buffalo Bills tight end
Dalton Kincaid is ready to shine again in a Week 10 matchup with the Miami Dolphins. Kincaid leads all Bills receivers with 411 yards despite missing one game. The Bills' tight end posted his second 100-yard game of the season last week, and faces a Dolphins defense that has given up the fifth-highest weekly score to tight ends this season. In their Week 3 matchup, Kincaid found the endzone while hauling in five catches for 66 yards. Kincaid is a must-start this week in a juicy matchup during the early slate of games.

Kansas City Chiefs tight end
Noah Gray was held without a catch and played a season-low 37 percent of the offensive snaps during last week's loss to the Buffalo Bills. The direct backup to
Travis Kelce heads into the Chiefs' bye week with a goal to get back on track, earn more snaps, and produce at a higher level in Week 11 against the Denver Broncos. It has been a disappointing start to Gray's fifth pro season. Last year, he had occasional standalone value and finished the year as the overall TE22 in PPR leagues. So far this year, he is the TE55, has just 1.2 touchdowns per game, and is still searching for his first touchdown of the campaign. Even as Kelce shows some signs of aging, Gray can be dropped to waivers in all redraft and most dynasty leagues.

Buffalo Bills wide receiver
Keon Coleman has seen his targets diminished as the offense continues to focus on
Khalil Shakir and
Dalton Kincaid in the passing game. The Bills' reliance on their running game, first in the NFL with 161.5 yards per game, also factors into Coleman's diminished targets. The second-year receiver saw just two targets last week and hasn't eclipsed 50 yards in a game since Week 1. Coleman should not be started in any format until he can carve out a consistent role in the Bills' explosive offense.

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver
KaVontae Turpin has just four catches for 25 yards over his last three games, but he has offered a much greater spark on special teams and should continue to handle return duties when the team returns from its Week 10 bye. Turpin has 18 kick returns over his last four games, including six last week against the Arizona Cardinals. His 722 kick return yards in 2025 rank fourth-most in the NFL. Turpin's role on offense has been minimal behind
CeeDee Lamb,
George Pickens, and
Jalen Tolbert, but he should continue to make a significant impact on special teams when the Cowboys face the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 11.

Buffalo Bills wide receiver
Khalil Shakir has emerged as a target monster in the team's high-powered offense. Shakir has led the team in targets in each of their two matchups since their bye week, and faces a Miami Dolphins defense that he burned for a touchdown in Week 3. The fourth-year receiver is on pace to exceed last year's breakout season. Shakir is currently on pace for 80 receptions, 848 yards, and six touchdowns, all career highs. The team has done an excellent job of getting the ball into Shakir's hands on short-to-intermediate passes and letting him use his elusiveness to gain yards after the catch. Look for another high-usage day as quarterback
Josh Allen and the Bills offense attack their divisional rival.

Last week, Pittsburgh Steelers kicker
Chris Boswell converted both of his field goal attempts and all three extra points in a 27-20 victory over the Indianapolis Colts. He should stay steady in a Week 10 showdown with the Los Angeles Chargers. The Chargers' defense has been solid overall, but Boswell has consistently shown to be matchup-proof and dependable for both the Steelers and fantasy managers alike. The veteran is 14-for-15 on field-goal attempts of 40 yards or more and a perfect 20-for-20 on extra points this season, his 11th as a pro. Boswell can remain locked into fantasy lineups as a top-10 kicking option.

New York Giants running back
Cam Skattebo (ankle) underwent season-ending surgery last week, but he is not expected to face a very complicated rehab process, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Although the rookie suffered a dislocated ankle, fractured fibula, and ruptured deltoid ligament in Week 8, he quickly underwent successful surgery and is on track to return to football action within six months. "Even at the very latest benchmark, he should be ready to roll for OTAs and minicamp," Rapoport wrote in an X post about Skattebo. As the Giants approach the back half of their season, they'll turn to
Devin Singletary and
Tyrone Tracy Jr. to lead their backfield. Redraft managers can drop Skattebo, but dynasty managers should hold onto him, as he'll likely be a high-end RB2 next season.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver
Kameron Johnson has been held without a catch in each of his last two games, and he'll likely remain off the fantasy radar in Week 10 against the New England Patriots. While Tampa Bay has been hit by the injury bug on offense, they've found receivers other than Johnson to step up and fill larger roles. For example, players like
Tez Johnson and
Sterling Shepard have been more involved with
Mike Evans (collarbone) and
Chris Godwin Jr. (fibula) sidelined. Meanwhile, Johnson has zero catches on one target over his last two games. He has just four catches this whole season, and all four came in Week 6 against the 49ers. The second-year Barton product should remain primarily involved on special teams, where he has four kick returns and four punt returns over the last two weeks.
