Cleveland Browns rookie quarterback
Shedeur Sanders (back) was upgraded to a full practice participant on Thursday after he was listed as limited on Wednesday due to a back injury, per Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN. Back tightness forced Sanders to be inactive for the Week 8 loss to the New England Patriots, which led to
Bailey Zappe serving as the backup to rookie
Dillon Gabriel. The 23-year-old Sanders is obviously feeling much better after having last week's bye to heal up, so it looks like he'll be back this weekend as the QB2 behind Gabriel against the New York Jets. Sanders, whose draft-day fall to the fifth round was the story of this year's NFL draft, has been praised by the coaching staff for the work that he's put in. However, Gabriel has gotten the first crack at starting duties in 2025 after the team traded away
Kenny Pickett and
Joe Flacco. Sanders could get his shot later this year, but right now, he's only stash-worthy in fantasy leagues in dynasty/keeper formats.

Houston Texans tight end
Dalton Schultz (knee, shoulder) was able to practice in full on Thursday after being limited on Wednesday, according to the team. It's the third straight week that Schultz has been on the team's injury report with knee and shoulder ailments, but the 29-year-old hasn't missed any time. Fantasy managers should expect him to be out there this weekend for a Week 10 divisional clash against the Jacksonville Jaguars. He's still searching for his first trip to the end zone in 2025, and the odds of his first touchdown coming this Sunday took a hit when the Texans ruled out starting quarterback
C.J. Stroud (concussion) earlier this week. Schultz has seen an uptick in production in the last three games, though, catching 17 of 21 targets for 199 yards. Backup QB
Davis Mills could lean on Schultz as a security blanket this weekend, but Schultz will still be no more than a touchdown-dependent TE2 for fantasy managers.

New York Giants tight end
Theo Johnson (shoulder) was upgraded to a full practice participant on Thursday after he was limited in practice on Wednesday, according to Dan Salomone of Giants.com. Johnson apparently injured his shoulder in the Week 9 loss to the San Francisco 49ers, but a return to a full practice on Thursday means he should be ready to roll for a Week 10 contest this Sunday on the road against the Chicago Bears. The 24-year-old scored his fifth touchdown of the season in addition to three catches for 27 yards on six targets last week with
Daniel Bellinger (neck) sidelined. Johnson should remain the Giants' primary pass-catching option at TE, but Bellinger's impending return this weekend takes a little bit of the streaming appeal away. Johnson has caught more than three passes in a game only twice this year, but he can't be ignored as a TE2 streamer with rookie quarterback
Jaxson Dart injecting life into the Giants' offense.

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver
Dyami Brown (concussion) upgraded to a full practice on Thursday after he was limited on Wednesday due to a concussion that he suffered in the Week 9 victory over the Las Vegas Raiders. Meanwhile,
Brian Thomas Jr. (ankle) has yet to practice this week following a low-grade high-ankle sprain that he suffered in Sunday's overtime win. Additionally, Jacksonville placed first-rounder
Travis Hunter (knee) on Injured Reserve last week, so the Jags could be without their top two wideouts in Week 10 against the division-rival Houston Texans on Sunday. The team acquired
Jakobi Meyers in a trade on Tuesday from the Raiders, but his snaps could be limited in his debut with the team as he learns the offense. If Brown clears the concussion protocol and plays this weekend, he will have an elevated role in the passing attack, putting him in play as a WR4/flex option in deeper fantasy leagues.

New Orleans Saints running back
Alvin Kamara (ankle) remained a limited participant at practice for the second straight day this week with a lingering ankle injury, according to Katherine Terrell of ESPN. Kamara continues to battle through an ankle injury that has landed him on the team's injury report for the fifth straight week. However, the 30-year-old veteran hasn't missed any games, so he should be able to play this Sunday against the division-rival Carolina Panthers on the road. The five-time Pro Bowler is showing his age in 2025, and his ankle issue probably hasn't helped, as he's averaging a career-low 3.6 yards per carry. Things aren't looking up for Kamara, either, in an offense that is now being run by rookie quarterback
Tyler Shough. Kamara has scored just one touchdown on the year and has become a low-upside RB3/flex for fantasy managers.

Cleveland Browns rookie tight end
Harold Fannin Jr. (hamstring), who leads the team in receptions and receiving yards, missed practice on Thursday because of a hamstring injury, according to Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN. Fannin wasn't listed on the Week 10 injury report, so this is something to watch heading into Friday's final practice of the week. The 21-year-old has come on strong for the Browns in his first year in the league, catching 38 passes for 352 yards and two touchdowns on 51 targets, but he could be in danger of missing this Sunday's game against the New York Jets. Fantasy managers who have been starting him need to have a backup plan at the ready. If Fannin isn't cleared to suit up this weekend, fellow tight end
David Njoku would be firmly in the TE1 mix in fantasy football. Check back on Friday for Fannin's official Week 10 status.

Former NFL wide receiver
Antonio Brown has been extradited to the United States from the United Arab Emirates and faces an attempted murder charge, according to a report from TMZ Sports. TMZ reports that he has been in Dubai in an attempt to evade the American authorities after being accused of trying to shoot and kill a man with a handgun at a boxing event in Florida in May. According to the report, Brown will "likely be held at the Miami-Dade Department of Corrections and charged with one count of attempted second-degree murder with a deadly weapon." Brown last played in the NFL in 2021, when he appeared in seven games for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Washington Commanders rookie running back
Jacory Croskey-Merritt (tooth) was able to practice in full on Thursday after being limited on Wednesday due to a tooth issue. Croskey-Merritt's status for Washington's Week 10 matchup against the Detroit Lions does not appear to be in jeopardy. The 24-year-old has recorded 440 rushing yards and four touchdowns on 94 carries across nine games so far this season. However, Croskey-Merritt has failed to crack 38 rushing yards or score a touchdown since Week 6. In Washington's Week 9 loss to the Seattle Seahawks, Croskey-Merritt earned the same number of carries (12) as fellow Commanders back
Chris Rodriguez Jr. Washington's unsettled backfield picture makes it difficult for fantasy managers to trust Croskey-Merritt as a starter. He profiles as a low-end RB3/flex option against Detroit in Week 10.

Minnesota Vikings running back
Aaron Jones Sr. (shoulder, toe) was able to log a limited practice on Thursday after being held out of practice on Wednesday due to toe and shoulder injuries. Jones Sr. suffered an AC joint sprain in his shoulder during his team's Week 9 win over the Detroit Lions that forced him to exit the game early. However, he appears to be trending in the right direction heading into Minnesota's Week 10 matchup against the Baltimore Ravens. Across four games played this season, the 30-year-old has recorded 218 scrimmage yards and a touchdown on 34 touches. If Jones Sr. can't go against Baltimore, Vikings running backs
Jordan Mason and
Zavier Scott would likely split backfield work. Assuming Jones Sr. is cleared to play, he profiles as a high-end fantasy RB3/flex option in Week 10.

Miami Dolphins rookie running back
Ollie Gordon II (ankle) was limited in practice for the second straight day on Thursday due to an ankle issue. Gordon injured his ankle during Miami's Week 9 loss to the Baltimore Ravens. Before Week 9, the 21-year-old appeared to be carving out a role in the Dolphins' offense. In Miami's Week 8 win over the Atlanta Falcons, Gordon II recorded season-highs in touches (11) and scrimmage yards (66). For the year, Gordon II has logged 152 yards from scrimmage and two touchdowns on 46 touches. If he is sidelined in Week 10,
Jaylen Wright would likely take over as Miami's RB2 behind
De'Von Achane. Even if Gordon II is active on Sunday, the game script in a tough matchup against the Buffalo Bills may make it difficult for Miami to feed him the ball on early downs. The rookie profiles as a deep-league flex option at best in Week 10.

Buffalo Bills wide receiver
Joshua Palmer (knee, ankle) logged his second straight limited practice on Thursday due to knee and ankle issues. The 26-year-old has not played since Week 6, and his status for Buffalo's Week 10 matchup against the Miami Dolphins remains up in the air. Across the six games he's played in this season, Palmer has recorded 14 catches for 234 yards on 20 targets. If he remains sidelined for Week 10, it could help the target outlooks for wide receiver
Khalil Shakir and tight end
Dalton Kincaid. Even if Palmer is active, the limited target volume he earned before getting injured makes it difficult for fantasy managers to trust him as a starting wide receiver.

Chicago Bears wide receiver
DJ Moore (hip, groin) practiced in a limited capacity on Thursday after being held out of practice on Wednesday, per The Athletic's Kevin Fishbain. Chicago has been careful with Moore in early-week practices as he nurses hip and groin ailments, but he looks to be on track to play in Week 10 against the New York Giants. The 28-year-old has recorded at least 72 receiving yards in two straight games after failing to reach that mark in any of his first six contests. Overall, Moore has recorded 30 catches for 403 yards and a touchdown on 44 targets across eight games. Assuming he's cleared to play, Moore profiles as a low-end fantasy WR2 in a favorable matchup against the Giants in Week 10.

Chicago Bears wide receiver
Rome Odunze (ankle/heel) practiced in a limited capacity on Thursday after being held out on Wednesday, per The Athletic's Kevin Fishbain. Odunze followed a similar practice pattern last week and was able to play in Week 9, so he appears to be trending toward playing in Week 10 against the New York Giants. The 23-year-old is coming off his worst game of the season against the Cincinnati Bengals, as he was held without a reception on three targets. Odunze has been much better for the season overall, recording 31 catches for 473 yards and five touchdowns on 59 targets across eight games. Assuming he's cleared to play, Odunze profiles as a must-start fantasy wide receiver in Week 10 against the Giants.

Chicago Bears rookie running back
Kyle Monangai (ankle) was able to practice in full on Thursday after being limited with an ankle injury on Wednesday, according to The Athletic's Kevin Fishbain. Monangai is on track to be available this weekend for a Week 10 tilt against the visiting New York Giants, but the 23-year-old's fantasy value will take a sizeable hit if
D'Andre Swift (groin) can return after missing the Week 9 win over the Cincinnati Bengals. Swift upgraded to a full practice on Thursday, suggesting he's on track to play against New York. Monangai broke out in the lead-back role for Chicago last Sunday, totaling 198 scrimmage yards and a touchdown on his 29 touches. Even if Swift returns, Monangai is a strong handcuff option for fantasy managers, and he could even carve out some RB3/flex appeal going forward if the Bears get him more involved alongside Swift moving forward.

Chicago Bears tight end
Cole Kmet (concussion) was limited in the first practice of the week on Wednesday, but he upgraded to full participation on Thursday, according to Kevin Fishbain of The Athletic. Kmet is on the right track to clearing the league's concussion protocol and playing this Sunday against the visiting New York Giants after he suffered a concussion in the Week 9 win over the Cincinnati Bengals. The 26-year-old caught only one of his two targets for 10 yards in that game before leaving. Meanwhile, rookie
Colston Loveland broke out to the tune of six receptions, 118 yards, and two touchdowns on seven targets. Although it appears that Kmet is trending in the right direction to play in Week 10, Loveland's big Week 9 performance may catapult him into TE1 duties in Chicago for the second half of the season. Kmet has a modest 10 catches for 142 yards and one touchdown on the year.
