Las Vegas Raiders rookie wide receiver
Dont'e Thornton Jr. did not play a snap in Week 9's loss to Jacksonville. After showing promise early in the season, he hasn't logged a catch since Week 3. With
Jakobi Meyers now traded to the Jaguars, Thornton could see his role expand. In the one game Meyers missed this season, Thornton played a season-high 83% of the snaps. However, the recent addition of
Tyler Lockett may cap his overall opportunity. With Denver allowing the fewest fantasy points to opposing wide receivers, expectations should remain low. Thornton may see the field more in Week 10, but he should stay off fantasy rosters for now.

Las Vegas Raiders rookie wide receiver
Jack Bech did not play a snap in Week 9's loss to Jacksonville. Despite being selected 58th overall out of TCU, he has just seven receptions for 73 yards through eight games. With
Jakobi Meyers traded to Jacksonville, Bech is positioned to see increased snaps moving forward. In the one game Meyers missed this season, Bech logged a season-high 63% snap share. That increased opportunity may not translate into fantasy value this week. Denver has allowed the fewest fantasy points to opposing wide receivers, making this a difficult matchup to expect meaningful production. Bech is worth monitoring on Thursday night, but he should remain on waivers in all formats for now.

Las Vegas Raiders tight end
Michael Mayer lost his starting role in Week 9 with the return of
Brock Bowers, but he remained involved in the offense. Despite operating as the TE2, Mayer caught three of seven targets for 26 yards in the 30-29 loss to Jacksonville. Notably, he still played 83% of the snaps as Las Vegas used 12 personnel (two-tight-end sets) on 58.3% of their plays, which is their highest rate this season. With
Jakobi Meyers now in Jacksonville, the Raiders are likely to continue leaning on heavier formations, which should keep Mayer on the field. However, the matchup is difficult this week. Denver has allowed the eighth-most fantasy points to tight ends, but their strong pass rush could force Mayer into increased blocking duties rather than receiving work. Mayer should remain on fantasy benches in Week 10.

The Dallas Cowboys announced on Thursday that second-year defensive lineman Marshawn Kneeland passed away on Thursday morning. A second-year player from Western Michigan, Kneeland was just 24 years old. The team did not announce a cause of death. Kneeland appeared in 18 games during the past two seasons, registering 26 tackles and a sack. In a statement, the team said, "Marshawn was a beloved teammate and member of our organization. Our thoughts and prayers regarding Marshawn are with his girlfriend Catalina and his family."

Despite his team's struggles, Las Vegas Raiders right end
Brock Bowers is a must-start tight end in a Week 10 matchup against the Denver Broncos. The second-year superstar from Georgia returned from a knee injury with a three-touchdown, week-winning performance last time out, and there's no reason to stray from him against Denver. The Broncos may be one of the best overall defenses in the league, but they've been only middle of the pack against fantasy tight ends. Further, Vegas shipped out top wide receiver
Jakobi Meyers this week, opening the door for Bowers to vacuum even more targets during the remainder of the season. Ranked as RotoBaller's No. 2 overall tight end this week, Bowers should be starting in every format.

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver
Tre Tucker is perhaps this week's most unpredictable fantasy player when his team takes on the Denver Broncos on Thursday Night Football. The Raiders granted receiver
Jakobi Meyers' trade request this week by shipping the veteran to Jacksonville, which figures to make Tucker the team's No. 2 option behind tight end
Brock Bowers. His first opportunity, however, comes against a Broncos defense that has allowed the second-fewest points to fantasy wide receivers. Given the circumstances, managers should consider Tucker to be a risky WR3/flex option. While Tucker could be in line for more targets without Meyers, he's still not the offense's top option, he's playing on a bad team, and he's up against one of the very best secondaries in the league this week.

Las Vegas Raiders running back
Ashton Jeanty should be viewed as a quality RB2 option when the Raiders take on a quality Denver Broncos defense on Thursday. The rookie from Boise State has been something of a letdown, given where he was taken in most preseason fantasy drafts, but he has such control over the Vegas backfield that he still enters Week 10 as the No. 13 overall fantasy running back. Jeanty has eclipsed 80 yards only once in eight games, a 138-yard showing against the Chicago Bears in Week 4, though his 25 targets have made him a regular part of the team's passing game and given him additional fantasy value. At 2-6, the Raiders look headed for yet another lost season, but a running back playing more than 70% of his team's offensive snaps should be in fantasy lineups.

Las Vegas Raiders quarterback
Geno Smith is a low-end Superflex option with his team playing an excellent Denver Broncos defense on Thursday. The veteran was a superb fantasy quarterback after his resurgence with Seattle in 2022, but this season had been mostly diminishing returns until a four-touchdown outburst last week against Jacksonville. Even after his best game, Smith has an unsightly 1:1 touchdown-to-interception ratio. He has thrown 11 interceptions and 11 touchdowns through eight games, during which he's thrown for an average of just under 213 yards. Facing a Denver defense that ranks among the league's best against fantasy quarterbacks, Smith can be a bye-week fill-in if needed, but managers should favor their other options, if possible.

Denver Broncos wide receiver
Pat Bryant should be left out of lineups in most formats when his team takes on the Las Vegas Raiders in the Thursday Night Football game for Week 10. The rookie from Illinois has earned more playing time as the season has progressed, appearing in more than half of Denver's offensive snaps five weeks in a row, but he has yet to catch more than two passes in a game. He scored his first touchdown in Week 8 against Dallas and has been the Broncos' preferred replacement with
Marvin Mims (concussion) out, though
Courtland Sutton and
Troy Franklin have continued as quarterback
Bo Nix's most-targeted options. Bryant has a solid matchup against a bad Vegas defense, but he'll be touchdown-dependent in a secondary role.

Los Angeles Chargers tight end
Oronde Gadsden has emerged as one of
Justin Herbert's go-to targets in the pass game over the past four weeks. Gadsden leads the Chargers with 377 receiving yards since he became a full-time player in Week 6 and ranks third on the team in targets per game (6.5) behind
Keenan Allen (7.8) and
Ladd McConkey (9.8). The 22-year-old has showcased the ability to earn targets as a rookie in a crowded Chargers pass-catching group, as well as strong after-the-catch ability. For teams with a strong tight end already in place, Gadsden is worth starting as a flex given how impressive he's been. The rookie tight end is ranked as RotoBaller's TE4 for Week 10 on Sunday night football against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Arizona Cardinals running back
Emari Demercado had a strong performance in a 27-17 win over the Dallas Cowboys in Week 9, rushing for a team-high 79 yards on 14 carries. Demercado ran well against a poor Dallas run defense, and with uncertainty in regards to
Trey Benson's (knee) return, the Cardinals could ride the hot hand with Demercado as the back to receive the most touches in their Week 10 matchup against the division-leading Seattle Seahawks. The Arizona backfield has been a messy one to figure out for fantasy managers, and it will likely stay that way for the foreseeable future. Seattle is a tough matchup, but Demercado has value as a flex play.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver
Romeo Doubs has been the most consistent wide receiver target for the team this season and could be ready to take on more targets after the injury to
Tucker Kraft (knee). Doubs led the Packers with seven catches for 91 yards on 10 targets in their ugly 16-13 loss to the Panthers last week. No other Green Bay pass catcher drew more than five targets. The 25-year-old should continue to build on his already solid production and could elevate his numbers in Kraft's absence.
Christian Watson's return will draw away some targets, but his presence helps stretch the field, creating more opportunities for Doubs and the offense. Doubs is ranked as RotoBaller's WR32 for Week 10.

Miami Dolphins wide receiver
Jaylen Waddle has enjoyed a fantastic bounce-back season in 2025, leading the team with 41 catches for 586 yards and four touchdowns in nine games. Waddle had been in plenty of trade rumors with the current state of the Dolphins, but the team is committed to their 26-year-old star wideout and views him as a piece of their future. Waddle has emerged as the no-doubt WR1 after
Tyreek Hill (knee) went down in Week 3, and has been among the most productive wideouts in the league. Waddle ranks as WR13 in PPR points since Week 4, and he should continue to return borderline WR1 fantasy production as one of the most explosive players in the league and the focal point of head coach Mike McDaniel's passing attack.

Free agent cornerback Asante Samuel Jr. (spine) has been cleared to play and is now making his rounds of visits with teams, according to Jeremy Fowler of ESPN. Those include the Panthers on Wednesday, Packers on Thursday, Vikings on Friday, 49ers on Monday, Bears on Tuesday, and Steelers on Wednesday. Samuel underwent spinal fusion surgery in April and has now been cleared to return to action. The 26-year-old has been a solid player for his career, but the injury has caused concerns for some teams. Samuel will likely make his decision on which one to sign within the next week once his visits conclude.

New York Giants kicker
Graham Gano (neck) was unable to take the field for Wednesday's practice session. It appears Gano is managing a neck injury after missing four games earlier in the season due to a groin issue. When healthy, Gano has been a viable option for the Giants, but keeping him healthy has been a problem. The Giants have both
Younghoe Koo and
Jude McAtamney on their practice squad right now. One of them would get the starting gig if Gano is forced to miss time. He'll have a few days to get ready ahead of the Week 10 matchup against the Chicago Bears.
