Noah Fifita Remains Streaming Option for Week 10
Arizona quarterback Noah Fifita is coming off another good fantasy showing in Week 9 but is going into a tougher test in Week 10. He still remains a streaming option for all leagues. He was 33-of-45 passing in Week 9 against Texas Tech - he had 417 passing yards and a touchdown, while not adding anything on the ground. Fifita had multiple TD passes in the five games before that. His matchup against TCU is tough this week, as the Horned Frogs are allowing just 287.6 total yards and 14.1 points per game so far. Fifita has delivered in tough tests already this season, so he remains a streaming option for those looking for QB help in Week 10.

Jason Witten to Serve as Oklahoma's Offensive Play-Caller
Oklahoma tight end coach Jason Witten will call the offensive plays going forward, according to On3. That news comes after the Sooners fired offensive coordinator Ben Arbuckle earlier on Monday. Witten is in his first season as the team's TE coach, but has a long history in the game, most notably playing 17 years in the NFL. Witten previously was a head coach at Liberty Christian School in Argyle, Texas, leading the team to consecutive state championships in 2023-24. Oklahoma's offense is averaging 336.9 total yards and 22 points per game so far this season. Witten will get his first test against Florida in Week 10 - the Gators' defense is allowing 369.3 total yards and 28.1 points per game so far.

Emmett Johnson Establishing Flex Value Through Receiving Profile
Kansas City Chiefs running back Emmett Johnson has seen his target total rise in four consecutive games, culminating in a season-high five receptions for 128 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's loss to the Broncos. With the Chiefs in search of consistent producers in the passing game, the fifth-round rookie now ranks third on the team with his 237 receiving yards, presenting enough standalone value to make him a viable weekly flex option. Coupled with the week-winning potential he offers as a direct handcuff to Kenneth Walker, Johnson has emerged as a must-roster player and is a priority waiver add wherever still available.

Josh Downs Could Be Moved for Third or Fourth-Round Pick
Having already traded away two team captains, the 2-6 Indianapolis Colts are essentially looking at a cultural reset, and NFL Insider Adam Schefter believes that wide receiver Josh Downs could be one of the next players on the move ahead of the NFL's November 10 trade deadline. Schefter reports that the Colts have asked for a third-round pick for the fourth-year receiver but could settle for a fourth-rounder before the deadline. Downs leads the Colts with 330 yards on 30 receptions and found the end zone for the first time in Sunday's blowout loss to the Jaguars. A breakout candidate who has yet to find his footing as part of a struggling offense, a change of scenery could help restore fantasy value to a player who currently ranks as the WR41 through eight games.

Emeka Egbuka Could Return in Week 9
Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles said that wide receiver Emeka Egbuka (foot) could return for the team's Week 9 matchup on Sunday Night Football against the Chicago Bears, according to Greg Auman of FOX Sports. Egbuka has missed the team's last two games with a concussion and a foot injury. The 24-year-old former first-rounder from Ohio State cleared the concussion protocol last week, but he remained out in Sunday's shutout win over the division-rival Atlanta Falcons. Now that he is only dealing with a foot injury, Egbuka could be cleared to face Chicago on the road this weekend if he makes enough progress in practice this week. He has been Tampa's top receiver when healthy, catching 28 of his 49 targets for 240 yards and two touchdowns in six games played. However, Egbuka's fantasy value is trending down with the Bucs moving to a run-based offense. Quarterback Baker Mayfield did not complete a single pass in the win over Atlanta and has gone 7-for-14 for 64 yards and a touchdown in two games since returning from his dislocated right thumb.

Oklahoma Fires Offensive Coordinator Ben Arbuckle
Oklahoma has parted ways with offensive coordinator Ben Arbuckle, according to On3's Pete Nakos. The team is sitting at 4-4 through eight games, with a lot of the struggles being on the offensive side of the ball. The Sooners' offense is averaging 336.9 total yards per game, with 230.1 passing yards and 106.8 rushing yards per contest. Oklahoma is averaging 22 points per game so far. This was his second season with the team, after coaching at Washington State previously. Arbuckle helped the team reach the College Football Playoff last year, but the offense has fallen off in 2026, so the team decided to start fresh now.

Hunter Andrews Offers Streaming Upside After Breakout Performance
Utah tight end Hunter Andrews broke out in a big way in Week 9, but now faces a stiff Week 10 test. He caught five passes for 112 yards and two touchdowns in the team's win over Cincinnati in Week 9 - he also rushed once for a yard and has 44 rushing yards on six rushes this season. Andrews has just 12 receptions for 159 yards and four touchdowns on the season, so most of his output came in his last appearance. BYU is a stiff challenge for him in Week 10, as the Cougars have allowed just 298.8 total yards and 18.8 points per game so far. At a tougher position to find fantasy value, Andrews is still a worthwhile streaming option in some deeper leagues.

Travis Etienne Jr. Could Return to Practice This Week
New Orleans Saints running back Travis Etienne Jr. (hamstring) will be looked at on Monday with the intent of judging whether or not he will have a chance to return to practice on Wednesday, head coach Kellen Moore told Ross Jackson of Locked on Saints. Etienne is eligible to return from Injured Reserve this week after straining his left hamstring in the loss to the Las Vegas Raiders on Sept. 27. The 27-year-old had an extra week to recover during the team's bye in Week 8, so he might be back in action this weekend as the team takes on the Cleveland Browns on Sunday. Fantasy managers need to be mindful that even if Etienne has his 21-day practice window opened this week, it does not necessarily mean he will return to New Orleans' backfield this weekend to take on the Browns. When Etienne does return and is back to full health, he is expected to take over lead-back duties from veteran Alvin Kamara, at least on early downs. The former first-rounder by the Jacksonville Jaguars had 30 carries for 128 yards (4.3 yards per attempt) and no touchdowns, adding 11 catches for 51 yards as a receiver in his first three games with the Saints this year before landing on IR.

Unclear if Jordyn Tyson Will Return to Practice This Week
New Orleans Saints head coach Kellen Moore said on Monday that it is still to be determined whether rookie wide receiver Jordyn Tyson (hamstring) will return to practice this week, according to Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football. The Saints will decide by Wednesday, which is when they will release their first official injury report for Week 9 as they come out of their bye. The 22-year-old eighth overall pick from Arizona State is eligible to come off Injured Reserve and play this Sunday against the Cleveland Browns, but it is unclear if that will happen yet as Tyson continues to recover from a lingering hamstring injury that has sidelined him for all of his rookie season so far in 2026. Even if Tyson returns to the practice field this week, it will not guarantee that he makes his NFL debut this weekend against the Browns. The 6-foot-2, 203-pounder will also be a pretty risky flex option in fantasy lineups if he is active this weekend. Still, because of his upside as the Saints' WR2 behind Chris Olave by season's end, Tyson should be stashed already in all fantasy leagues.

Breece Hall Ready to Return to the Field
The NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports on Monday that New York Jets running back Breece Hall (quadriceps), who has missed the last five games with a quad injury, is now "good to go" and should play next Sunday against the Kansas City Chiefs on the road in Week 9. Hall has been the subject of trade speculation with the Nov. 10 deadline quickly approaching, but the Jets have said that they do not have any plans to trade him after signing him to an extension in the offseason following his first 1,000-yard rushing season in 2025. Despite another loss on Sunday to the Las Vegas Raiders, Rapoport does not see the Jets going on a fire sale like they did last year. Hall has become an interesting name at this year's trade deadline because of Braelon Allen breaking out as New York's RB1 over the last five weeks with Hall sidelined. Adding a twist to this story is the news that Hall deactivated his social-media account to begin the week amid all the trade speculation. The 25-year-old Hall was averaging just 3.2 yards per carry on his 51 rushing attempts for 163 yards and one touchdown on the ground in three games before his quad injury this year. If he returns this weekend in a tough matchup against KC, fantasy managers should expect more of a timeshare with Allen, who has earned a bigger backfield workload.

Chase Hendricks Offers Streaming Appeal Heading into Week 10
California wide receiver Chase Hendricks continues to deliver on the field, and that gives him waiver wire and streaming appeal for his Week 10 test against Virginia. Hendricks has 61 receptions for 565 yards and four touchdowns this season. He has a touchdown grab in two straight games, while tallying seven or more receptions in five straight contests. Hendricks has at least 54 receiving yards in four straight appearances, so he's a rising fantasy asset. Virginia is allowing 350.1 total yards and 23.1 points per game, so that's a pretty average test at first glance. The Cavaliers only allow 189.7 passing yards per game though, so it's actually a bit tougher test for the California wideout, although he's still a worthwhile deep-league option, and maybe worth standard setup streams as well.

Nolan James Jr. a Better Deep-League Option Heading into Week 10
Notre Dame running back Nolan James Jr. has produced solid fantasy scores over the past four games despite not getting a bunch of touches, but a tough Week 10 matchup against Miami could slow his role. He has at least 65 rushing yards in four straight appearances - he has scored five of his eight rushing touchdowns over the past three contests. James has added 105 yards and three scores on 13 receptions, but it's his work on the ground that makes up most of his fantasy appeal. Miami is a very tough test for him, as the Hurricanes are allowing 312.6 total yards and 17.8 points per game so far. James could still post a bigger fantasy score if he finds the end zone, but he's a safer deep-league asset because of the matchup.

DaVon Hamilton Expected to Miss Rest of Season With Torn Quad
Jacksonville Jaguars standout defensive tackle DaVon Hamilton (quadriceps) suffered a torn quad muscle in Sunday's win over the division-rival Indianapolis Colts in Week 8 and is expected to be out for the rest of the season, sources told Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network. Hamilton will undergo more tests on Monday, but his loss creates a massive hole on the interior of Jacksonville's defensive line. The 29-year-old injured his quad in the second quarter of Sunday's game and had to be carted off the field. With Hamilton now out until next year, the Jaguars will ask Ruke Orhorhoro to step up at defensive tackle, starting in Week 9 this Thursday night on the road against the Baltimore Ravens. The former third-rounder from Ohio State will finish his seventh year in the NFL with 16 tackles (eight solo), half a sack, four QB hits, one forced fumble, and a fumble recovery in seven games played.

Breece Hall Deactivates Social-Media Account Amid Trade Speculation
New York Jets running back Breece Hall (quadriceps) has deactivated his X account, according to uSTADIUM, adding to speculation about his future ahead of the November 10 trade deadline. Earlier Monday, head coach Aaron Glenn indicated that the Jets plan to keep Hall, emphasizing the organization's desire to retain its best players. SNY's Connor Hughes also reported that New York has not held serious internal discussions about trading the 25-year-old, despite speculation fueled by his recent social media activity and Braelon Allen's emergence. Hall previously shared an ambiguous message Friday that drew attention from fans and reporters, although its meaning remains unclear. He has missed five consecutive games with a quadriceps injury, while Allen has rushed for 565 yards during that stretch, including 147 yards and a touchdown against Las Vegas on Sunday. The Jets reportedly envision both running backs contributing once Hall returns, and there is no confirmed connection between his account deactivation and any potential trade.

Thomas Castellanos a Worthwhile Streaming Option in Week 10
Texas Tech quarterback Thomas Castellanos has a very favorable matchup coming in Week 10 against West Virginia, so the newly minted starter has streaming appeal in more fantasy leagues. He was 11-of-24 passing in his first start against Arizona in Week 9 - he threw for 144 yards and two touchdowns, while adding 117 rushing yards and a score on 19 attempts. The Mountaineers' defense has surrendered 483.9 total yards and 32.3 points per game so far this season, so Castellanos could be in for a big showing. He's still not the most confident starting option after just one start and some down passing numbers, but his dual-threat ability gives him upside to deliver big in any game, especially a favorable matchup like he has in Week 10.
