Indianapolis Colts wide receiver
Josh Downs has attracted interest from fantasy managers of late after scoring a touchdown in three straight games. In that span, along with his three scores, Downs has 15 receptions on 19 targets for 138 yards for the Colts. Indy has a crowded receiver room with
Michael Pittman Jr., Alex Pierce, and rookie tight end
Tyler Warren all demanding targets, but Downs has consistently attracted the eye of quarterback
Daniel Jones. In the last four games, the 24-year-old pass-catcher has had at least seven targets in three contests, and he's caught exactly six passes in three of those four games. He drew a season-high nine targets in last week's loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers with the team down multiple scores for most of the day. The former third-rounder will be looking to score for a fourth straight week on Sunday in Germany against the Atlanta Falcons.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver
Chris Godwin (leg) was not spotted at Thursday's practice, according to FOX Sports' Greg Auman. Godwin continues to be affected by a fibula injury that he picked up in Week 5's win over the Seahawks, and is now in danger of missing a fourth consecutive appearance. If he's inactive again, it will be teammates
Sterling Shepard,
Emeka Egbuka, and
Tez Johnson out there in three-wide-receiver sets for their matchup with the visiting New England Patriots -- a personnel they deploy at the tenth-highest rate (66.94%). Tight end
Cade Otton would also continue to see a bump in targets.

FOX Sports' Greg Auman reports that Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back
Bucky Irving (foot, shoulder) is not at Thursday's practice as the team prepares for its home clash with the New England Patriots this weekend. Coming out of the bye, the 23-year-old has yet to participate in practice, which bodes poorly for his potential status in Week 10's contest. If Irving fails to suit up again, backfield mate
Rachaad White will continue to lead the rushing attack in a matchup against a staunch New England rush defense, with
Sean Tucker retaining a change-of-pace option.

New Orleans Saints tight end
Juwan Johnson has gained more appeal as a starting option this weekend when he lines up with the hosting Carolina Panthers. The University of Oregon product had a rough three-game stretch from Weeks 4-6 in which he hauled in seven receptions for 50 yards, although he's bounced back over the previous three outings (13/163), and even got back into the end zone for the second time this season -- and first since Week 2. With ex-teammate
Rashid Shaheed gone for Seattle, Johnson should assume the role of the No. 2 pass-catcher behind wide receiver
Chris Olave. Production could be inconsistent with rookie QB
Tyler Shough manning the helm. However, the opportunity will be there in a Saints offense bereft of weaponry.

Minnesota Vikings quarterback
J.J. McCarthy will look to build off an impressive Week 9 win this Sunday when his team squares off with the visiting Baltimore Ravens. McCarthy returned from a five-game absence last weekend and led a decisive win against their division-rival Detroit Lions, totaling three touchdowns (one rushing). The former Michigan Wolverine will be put to the test again in Week 10, this time against a Ravens D that's clamped down over the previous few weeks. That said, McCarthy's performance in Minnesota's most recent win at least has him on the streaming radar in favorable matchups. On paper, the Ravens are just that -- affording opposing air attacks 250 yards per game (fifth-most). Fantasy managers in need of a bye week fill-in can give the 22-year-old a chance as a high-end QB2.

Houston Texans quarterback
Davis Mills will get the start this weekend for his team's home meeting with the Jacksonville Jaguars while teammate
C.J. Stroud (concussion) recovers from injury. Stroud left Week 9's loss to the Denver Broncos with a concussion and has already been ruled out for Sunday's clash with Jacksonville. Houston's offense will take a hit sans Stroud, but the Jaguars are a beatable matchup in the passing game. Through nine weeks, the unit has yielded the sixth-most passing yards per game (249.3) and allowed a bottom-half figure in points (23). It wouldn't be surprising to see the Texans lean on the ground game more often in this one, leaving Mills better-suited as an asset in super flex/2QB formats.

Buffalo Bills running back
Ray Davis could be in line for a significant workload in Week 10. The second-year back has struggled to produce this season, totaling just 64 scrimmage yards on 25 touches across eight games. However, with
James Cook (foot/ankle) not practicing on Wednesday, Davis could be in a position to start and have a big role in Week 10. In the one game Cook missed in 2024, Davis played 63% of the snaps and handled 23 touches for 152 yards. Fantasy managers should monitor Buffalo's practice reports closely, as the starting running back in this offense would be a clear must-start against a struggling Miami Dolphins defense.

Newly acquired cornerback Sauce Gardner (concussion) has cleared protocol and will make his Colts debut in Week 10. Gardner was surprisingly traded from the Jets to the Colts just months after signing a four-year, $120 million extension. With Charvarius Ward (concussion) on injured reserve, Indianapolis will lean on Gardner to shadow Falcons wide receiver
Drake London, who is coming off a big performance in Week 9. The move underscores the Colts' aggressive, win-now mindset, and Gardner's debut will be one of the most talked-about storylines of the week.

At the trade deadline, the Kansas City Chiefs made an attempt to acquire New York Jets running back
Breece Hall. Hall had been the subject of trade rumors and reportedly expressed interest in a change of scenery. The Jets were believed to be seeking a third-round pick, a steep price for a running back who is not under contract beyond the 2025 season. Kansas City ultimately chose not to make the move, signaling confidence in their current backfield of
Isiah Pacheco,
Kareem Hunt, and
Brashard Smith. It sets up a fascinating offseason for Hall and the Jets, but whether the Chiefs will regret not landing the rising star remains to be seen.

Buffalo Bills running back
Ty Johnson could see increased usage in Week 10. Through eight games, he has logged 17 carries for 72 yards and a touchdown, along with four receptions for 31 yards. With
James Cook (foot/ankle) not practicing, Johnson may be in line for a larger workload. Johnson has outsnapped
Ray Davis this season, but in the one game Cook missed last year, Davis played 63% of the snaps compared to Johnson's 35%. Cook's status will dictate how the backfield shakes out, so monitor practice reports closely. If Cook sits, both Johnson and Davis would see expanded roles against a vulnerable Miami defense.

Las Vegas Raiders running back
Raheem Mostert has worked strictly as a backup this season. Through five games, he has logged 16 carries for 80 yards and added three receptions for 27 yards. With rookie
Ashton Jeanty leading the backfield, Mostert has been limited to just a 24% snap share. The matchup doesn't help in Week 10, as Denver is allowing the fifth-fewest fantasy points to running backs. Mostert holds value only as Jeanty's handcuff and on kick returns, but he should remain on waivers in all fantasy formats for now.

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."
