Cedric Tillman Goes Through Full Practice on Wednesday
Cleveland Browns wide receiver Cedric Tillman (hamstring) was a full participant during Wednesday's practice session. Tillman was recently designated to return from the injured reserve. The 25-year-old has been out since suffering a hamstring injury during the Week 4 matchup against the Detroit Lions. The fact Tillman was able to practice in full to begin the week is a good sign heading into the Week 10 matchup against the New York Jets. Before going down, Tillman hauled in 11 of his 20 targets for 106 yards and two touchdowns in four games. He's unlikely to be a viable streaming option given how poorly this offense has played with Dillon Gabriel under center.

Theo Johnson Limited at Wednesday's Practice
New York Giants tight end Theo Johnson (shoulder) was a limited participant during Wednesday's practice session. It sounds like he's managing a shoulder injury, so he'll get eased into the practice week. Last weekend, Johnson hauled in three of his six targets for 27 yards and a touchdown in the loss to the San Francisco 49ers. The 24-year-old has scored five touchdowns in his last six games. If he's unable to play, Daniel Bellinger could move into the starting tight end role for the Week 10 matchup against the Chicago Bears. Right now, it seems like Johnson is trending towards playing, but fantasy managers should check back for another update.

Dalton Schultz Logs Limited Practice Session on Wednesday
Houston Texans tight end Dalton Schultz (knee, shoulder) was a limited participant during Wednesday's practice session. Unsurprisingly, Schultz is limited to start the week while he continues to deal with lingering injuries. He missed practice time last week as well, but still suited up for the Week 9 loss to the Denver Broncos. Schultz hauled in six of his eight targets for a season-high 77 yards in the defeat. If he's unable to play, Harrison Bryant would likely be asked to start, but he wouldn't be a recommended fantasy option for the Week 10 matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

AJ Barner Limited During Wednesday's Practice
Seattle Seahawks tight end AJ Barner (calf) was a limited participant during Wednesday's practice session. Barner appeared to be fine while hauling in three receptions for 24 yards during last week's win over the Washington Commanders. The 23-year-old salvaged his fantasy value with a one-yard rushing touchdown. Despite being limited in the receiving game, Barner has been able to score four touchdowns in his last five games. If he misses time, Elijah Arroyo figures to have an expanded role and increased fantasy value for the Week 10 matchup against the Arizona Cardinals.

Cooper Kupp Misses Wednesday's Practice
Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Cooper Kupp (hamstring, heel) was unable to take part in Wednesday's practice session. Earlier in the day, head coach Mike Macdonald told reporters that Kupp would be limited in practice. Instead, Kupp sat out completely, which isn't a great sign to begin the week. The 32-year-old sat out of last week's win over the Washington Commanders. There's a chance he misses the Week 10 matchup against the Arizona Cardinals as well. The Seahawks have brought in reinforcements in the form of Rashid Shaheed. That being said, Shaheed could have a bigger role right away if Kupp is unable to play this weekend. Fantasy managers will need to stay tuned throughout the week for more updates on Kupp.

Broncos Defense Gets a Great Matchup for Week 10
The Denver Broncos' defense enters Week 10 as a dominant option with a healthy matchup against a lackluster Las Vegas Raiders offense. Through nine weeks of the season, the Broncos have been the third-best defense in average total yards allowed with 279.9 on average, and have allowed the second-fewest touchdowns with just 14. The Raiders' offense averages the third-fewest yards per game, with 283.3, and has only accounted for 14 total touchdowns so far as a unit. Despite star cornerback Pat Surtain II continuing to miss time with a pectoral injury, RotoBaller has Denver ranked second overall for Week 10.

Wil Lutz Good to Go Thursday Night Against the Raiders
Denver Broncos kicker Wil Lutz (illness) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice after being limited with an illness earlier in the week. The 31-year-old is good to go and doesn't carry an injury designation versus the Las Vegas Raiders on Thursday night. He will look to right the ship in Week 10 after missing his first field goal of the season in Week 9. He dealt with an illness during the week and doesn't carry an injury designation versus the Raiders on Thursday night. To be fair, the Houston Texans blocked the field goal attempt, which was from 51 yards out. The Raiders average 26.3 points allowed per game, which enabled Lutz more opportunities than he had in Week 9 to put points up on the board. In what could be a close game due to the division rivalry, managers should count on Lutz to bounce back as RotoBaller has him ranked at 11 overall for the week.

RJ Harvey Looking to Extend Touchdown Streak vs. the Raiders
Denver Broncos running back RJ Harvey will look to continue his touchdown streak Thursday night against the Las Vegas Raiders as he enters Week 10 leading the Broncos' backfield in scores on the season with six. In Week 9 against the difficult Houston Texans defense, Harvey continued to prove head coach Sean Payton right with his dynamic usage in the passing game, catching all five of his targets for 51 receiving yards and a touchdown. This marks the second game this season in which Harvey has seen five targets in a game, and his third straight game in which he has had at least one touchdown. As RotoBaller's RB23 overall on the week, start Harvey with confidence as an RB2 with weekly scoring upside.

J.K. Dobbins Remains a High-End RB2 vs. the Raiders Despite Touchdown Drought
Denver Broncos running back J.K. Dobbins has still been the king of the backfield through nine weeks from a touch standpoint, but he will strive to get back in the end zone for the first time since Week 5 as he faces the Las Vegas Raiders at home on Thursday night. At first glance, averaging 77.2 rushing yards per game would sound like a no-brainer RB1 statistic. However, the presence of running back RJ Harvey has certainly been a threat to Dobbins' scoring opportunities. Harvey has now outscored Dobbins on the season with six total touchdowns to four, with five of them coming within the past three games. With Dobbins' healthy floor, thanks to currently accounting for the fifth most rushing yards in the league, he is RotoBaller's 13th-ranked running back for Week 10.

Evan Engram is Still a Tough Start in Week 10 Against the Raiders
Denver Broncos tight end Evan Engram has been a tough player to trust in fantasy lineups for the 2025 season, ranking as the TE27 through nine weeks with just one fringe TE1 finish. In last week's matchup against the Broncos, Engram had zero catches on three targets, marking what could be the final straw for fantasy managers trusting in him thus far. The Houston Texans were one of the most difficult defensive matchups of the schedule, so there could be an opportunity for Engram to bounce back against the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 10. With RotoBaller having Engram ranked as the TE23 against the Raiders, it's likely best to look for an option with more upside.

Troy Franklin Looks to Maintain WR1 Target Share in Week 10
Denver Broncos wide receiver Troy Franklin will strive to lead the team in targets for a third straight game against the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 10. Despite being on the field for fewer snaps throughout the season than teammate Courtland Sutton, Franklin has now surpassed Sutton for the time being with 21.05% of the offensive target share compared to Sutton's 20.39% target share. It's safe to say that Franklin is making a name for himself within the Broncos offense, and with head coach Sean Payton integrating him more into the playbook, we could see weekly upside from him. Franklin is RotoBaller's WR35 for the week and can be trusted as a strong WR3/ Flex option against the Raiders.

Courtland Sutton Could Resume Alpha Duties in Week 10
Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton will look to resume his spot as the team's No. 1 wideout against the Las Vegas Raiders on Thursday night, despite having three different games where he caught one reception. In Week 9 against the stingy Houston Texans, Sutton's lone catch ended up going for a 30-yard touchdown reception that jump-started the Denver offense towards their comeback win. Counterpart Troy Franklin has been the leader in targets for the past two weeks straight. Still, it's arguable that Sutton's alpha spot in the offense isn't being threatened, as he just signed a four-year contract extension in July and continues to find the end zone. As RotoBaller's WR11 for the week, continue looking at Sutton with weekly scoring upside as a back-end WR1.

Bo Nix Looks to Lead Denver to its Seventh Straight Win on Thursday
Denver Broncos quarterback Bo Nix will host the Las Vegas Raiders at home in Week 10 as he looks to carry the team to a seventh straight win. Through nine weeks, the Raiders have allowed an average of 224 passing yards per game this season and 11 passing touchdowns. Nix has had some fourth-quarter magic this season, as he has made some magnificent scrambles to bolster his stats in the final minutes of the game, and we could see that trend continue if the division rivalry proves to be a close matchup. Fantasy managers should continue to trust Nix in their starting lineups with RotoBaller ranking him as QB8 overall for Week 10.

Jacory Croskey-Merritt Limited on Wednesday After Having Dental Work Done
Washington Commanders rookie running back Jacory Croskey-Merritt (mouth) was wearing a non-contact jersey on Wednesday and was listed as a limited practice participant after having dental work done, according to John Keim of ESPN. Croskey-Merritt should be available to play on Sunday against the visiting Detroit Lions, but the better question is whether he'll lose any playing time to Jeremy McNichols and Chris Rodriguez Jr. after stumbling the last few weeks. The 24-year-old seventh-rounder has been the team's lead back since Austin Ekeler suffered a season-ending Achilles tear in Week 2, but Bill hasn't scored since Oct. 5 and is averaging just 3.1 yards per carry for 157 yards on 51 rushing attempts in the last four games. Expect defenses to load the box more to stop the run against Washington now, with quarterback Jayden Daniels (elbow) out for the foreseeable future. JCM is trending down as an RB3/flex play heading into this weekend.

Nick Chubb Unable to Practice Due to Foot Injury
Houston Texans running back Nick Chubb (foot) was listed as a non-participant in Wednesday's practice due to a foot injury, according to Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Sports. The Texans have already ruled out quarterback C.J. Stroud (concussion) for their Week 10 game against the division-rival Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday, and the veteran Chubb could also be in danger of sitting out this weekend unless he returns to practice on Thursday or Friday. If the 29-year-old is limited or out against the Jaguars, rookie Woody Marks would be in line for a bigger workload, while Dare Ogunbowale would likely be elevated to RB2 duties. Chubb has mostly been underwhelming in his first year with the Texans as their primary back, with Joe Mixon (ankle, foot) still out, as he's averaged 3.9 yards per carry for 355 rushing yards and only two rushing scores in eight games.
