Daron Payne Suspended One Game For Unsportsmanlike Conduct
NFL Insider Ian Rapoport reported that the Washington Commanders defensive lineman, Daron Payne, has been suspended one game for an act of unsportsmanlike conduct against the Detroit Lions on Sunday. Payne was disqualified for punching Amon-Ra St. Brown after an altercation following Jahmyr Gibbs' running in a 13-yard score in the second quarter. Payne turned and threw a right hook at St. Brown, connecting square in the helmet. It's unclear what led to that incident or what was said between the two players beforehand, but that was the end of it as Payne was ejected and the Commanders went down 22-3 before losing 44-22. The next game for the Commanders is in Week 11, where they travel to Santiago Bernabéu Stadium in Spain to take on the Miami Dolphins. The Commanders' defense is currently ranked near the bottom of the NFL, with recent reports placing them 29th in points allowed and 30th in yards allowed per game. Losing a veteran in Payne will not help; therefore, most Dolphins starters will be must-start plays in Week 11, such as Jaylen Waddle and De'Von Achane; meanwhile, players like Tua Tagovailoa and Malik Washington will be in the streamer conversation.

Oronde Gadsden Scheduled to Undergo an MRI Monday
ESPN's Adam Schefter reported Monday morning that Los Angeles Chargers tight end Oronde Gadsden (knee) is scheduled to undergo an MRI today for the knee injury that he suffered on Sunday Night Football. Gadsden exited the game in the third quarter and was seen limping to the locker room to be evaluated. At the time of his injury, the 22-year-old rookie had caught three of his six targets for only 13 yards. Although it was a slow night for him, the rookie out of Syracuse had cemented himself as a top-5 player at the tight end position in fantasy football. On the season, he has caught 35 of his 44 targets for 466 yards and two touchdowns. More impressively, he has only been the starter since Week 6, so most of that production has come in the last five weeks. In his absence, Tucker Fisk and Tyler Conklin picked up the slack because Will Dissly (coach's decision) was inactive.

Kyle Williams Breaks Off 72-Yard Touchdown For First Career Score in Week 10 Win
New England Patriots rookie wide receiver Kyle Williams made one of the highlight plays of the week with a 72-yard catch and run touchdown, marking his first career score in a 28-23 Week 10 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Williams had only one reception on two targets, but the rookie made it count as he showed off his blazing speed on the long score. The rookie third-rounder hit a max speed of 21.78 mph on the play, which was the seventh fastest top speed by any player in the NFL this season, per Next Gen Stats. It was the highest mark by a Patriot all season until fellow rookie TreVeyon Henderson one-upped him, hitting 22.01 mph on his 55-yard touchdown run. Williams was expected to see more action with Kayshon Boutte (hamstring) out, but he had just a 58% route share in the game. It will be interesting to see how the wide receiver rotation shakes out when Boutte returns, but Williams flashed his big-play ability and certainly warrants more snaps going forward.

Parker Washington Scores Two Touchdowns in Week 10 Loss
Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Parker Washington caught three of his seven targets for 33 yards and a touchdown, added two carries for minus-four yards, and returned a punt 73 yards for another touchdown in a 36-29 loss in Week 10 to the Houston Texans. Washington was Jacksonville's top target earner for the second straight week, with top wideouts Brian Thomas Jr. (ankle) and Travis Hunter (knee) both sidelined. The 23-year-old led the Jaguars in routes and slot rate in Week 10, with recent trade acquisition Jakobi Meyers mostly aligning out wide and only running 50% routes. Washington had an impressive contested touchdown grab in the corner of the end zone during the first quarter, then added an electric punt return for a touchdown in the second quarter to reward fantasy managers who put their faith in him. Washington will project as a strong flex option again in Week 11 against the Los Angeles Chargers.

Jerry Jeudy Has Best Game of the Season, Scores First Touchdown in Week 10 Loss
Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jerry Jeudy caught six of his 12 targets for 78 yards and his first touchdown of the season in a 27-20 loss to the New York Jets. Jeudy set season highs in every receiving category except for targets and logged his first double-digit PPR performance since Week 1. The 26-year-old has mightily struggled with drops this season while navigating a tough offensive environment with the Browns. Entering Week 10, his eight drops ranked second most among all pass catchers, and his 40.7% catch rate was the third lowest out of 186 players, per Pro Football Reference. The veteran wideout took advantage of a Jets defense that just traded away top cornerback Sauce Gardner and will look to build on the strong performance in Week 11 versus the Baltimore Ravens.

Jaylen Waddle Continues To Excel as Dolphins WR1 in Week 10 Win Over Bills
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle led the team in receiving again in their Week 10 upset win over the Buffalo Bills, catching five of his seven targets for 84 yards and a touchdown. Waddle had an outstanding 38-yard touchdown catch where he also drew a pass interference penalty in the game, and continues to assert himself as one of the best wide receivers in the league. Outside of a monsoon game in Cleveland in Week 7, where Waddle caught only one of four targets for 15 yards, the 26-year-old has posted at least 80 receiving yards in every game since Tyreek Hill (knee) went down in Week 4. Waddle has recorded 29 receptions for 485 yards and three touchdowns on 43 targets in that span, averaging 16 PPR points per game. Waddle projects for another strong fantasy day in Week 11 when the Dolphins travel to Madrid to face a putrid Washington Commanders defense.

Kimani Vidal Delivers Another Strong Performance On High Volume in Week 10 Win
Los Angeles Chargers running back Kimani Vidal handled another big workload as the team's lead back in Sunday night's win over the Pittsburgh Steelers, totaling 25 carries for 95 yards and a touchdown to go with one reception (one target) for 13 yards. Vidal has alternated breakout performances with duds over the last few weeks, but the heavy usage has remained consistent while he fills in for an injured Omarion Hampton (ankle). Fantasy managers will largely be happy with Vidal's production as an add off the waiver wire, scoring at least 17 PPR points in three of his five games as the Chargers' workhorse. The second-year back should get at least one more game as the team's top running back before Hampton is expected to return after their Week 12 bye. Vidal will rank as a mid-range RB2 in Week 11 versus the Jaguars.

Ladd McConkey Leads Chargers With 107 Yards, Touchdown in Week 10 Win
Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Ladd McConkey caught four of his six targets for 107 yards and a touchdown in Sunday night's 25-10 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. McConkey has been on a tear over the last six games following a slow start to the season. The second-year wideout averaged just 8.4 PPR points per game over the first four games, but has bounced back since, posting 17.4 per game since Week 5. McConkey's 107 receiving yards were more than double the next closest Chargers' pass catcher, with Quentin Johnston finishing with 42 yards. The 24-year-old remains the clear top target for Justin Herbert and should continue to be a high-end fantasy producer for the rest of the season. McConkey will rank on the WR1/WR2 border for Week 11 against the Jaguars.

Oronde Gadsden Questionable to Return on Sunday Night With Knee Injury
The Los Angeles Chargers announced that rookie tight end Oronde Gadsden (knee) is questionable to return to Sunday night's game against the Pittsburgh Steelers in the second half due to a knee injury. Gadsden injured his knee in the third quarter in Week 10 and was seen limping to the locker room to be evaluated. At the time of his injury, the 22-year-old rookie had caught three of his six targets for only 13 yards. Despite the slow game, Gadsden had become a must-roster player in fantasy football after recording at least 68 receiving yards in each of his previous four games. The fifth-rounder came into Sunday night's action with 32 catches on 38 targets for 453 yards and two touchdowns as L.A.'s top pass-catching TE. Will Dissly was a healthy scratch for this game, so Tucker Fisk and Tyler Conklin will pick up the slack if Gadsden cannot return against Pittsburgh.

Rome Odunze Bounces Back to Lead Bears in Receiving in Another Comeback Win
Chicago Bears wide receiver Rome Odunze surprisingly put up a donut for his fantasy managers in the Week 9 comeback win over the Cincinnati Bengals in a game in which the Bears put up 40-plus points. The 23-year-old second-year pass-catcher rewarded fantasy managers who stuck with him in another comeback win for Chicago on Sunday over the New York Giants, as Odunze caught six of his 10 targets for a team-high 86 yards and a touchdown. Odunze also led the Bears in receptions and targets, and his sixth touchdown of the year was a two-yard hookup with quarterback Caleb Williams in the fourth quarter. The strong day was great to see for Odunze, who went quiet after scoring five times in the first four games of 2025. Consistency has not been Odunze's strong suit in his sophomore season, but he still leads Chicago in catches (37), receiving yards (559), and receiving touchdowns (six) through 10 weeks. The former first-rounder should be in all fantasy lineups in a potential Week 11 shootout against Minnesota.

Tez Johnson Continues Rookie Ascent, Scores Two Touchdowns in Week 10 Loss
Tampa Bay Buccaneers rookie wide receiver Tez Johnson continues to see his role grow in his first year in the NFL, with Mike Evans (collarbone), Chris Godwin (leg), and Jalen McMillan (neck) injured. The Buccaneers fell short coming out of their bye in a 28-23 defeat to the visiting New England Patriots on Sunday in Week 10, but it wasn't because of Johnson's efforts. The 23-year-old first-year wideout caught four of his five targets on the day for 42 yards and two touchdowns. He averaged a healthy 10.5 yards per catch and now has four touchdowns in his first eight NFL games. In fact, Johnson has scored all four of his TDs in his last four games. He has had at least five targets in the last three games as he and fellow rookie Emeka Egbuka lead Tampa's banged-up receiving corps. Evans and McMillan may not return this year, and Godwin is unlikely to be back in Week 11 against the Bills, so Johnson will be firmly in the WR4/flex mix in fantasy yet again next weekend.

George Kittle has Best Game of the Season, Scores for Third Time
San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle suffered a hamstring injury in the season opener and landed on Injured Reserve, so it's been a frustrating season for his fantasy managers. However, Kittle showed on Sunday why he's still a high-end fantasy TE when he's healthy. In the team's 42-26 loss to the division-rival Los Angeles Rams in Week 10, he led the team by catching all nine of his targets for a season-high 84 receiving yards and his third touchdown of the season. Kittle's nine targets were tied for second on the team, and his nine catches and 84 receiving yards led the 49ers. The 32-year-old veteran's touchdown was a nifty show of athleticism as he tiptoed the sideline and dove for the pile-on. Kittle also made a highlight-reel catch earlier in the game where he laid out with full extension to make the grab. He had more yards on Sunday than he did in his previous three games, and he could be starting to heat up just in time for quarterback Brock Purdy (toe) to potentially return in Week 11 against the Cardinals.

Jacoby Brissett Throws Two More Touchdowns in Blowout Loss
The Arizona Cardinals were blown out on the road 44-22 by the division-rival Seattle Seahawks in Week 10, but veteran quarterback Jacoby Brissett was able to rack up yardage and throw two more touchdowns for fantasy managers in two-QB leagues on Sunday. Brissett finished the day 22-for-44 passing for 258 yards, two touchdowns, and no interceptions while adding four carries for an additional 31 yards on the ground. The 32-year-old was sacked five times for a loss of 52 yards. Seattle went up 35-0 in the first half, so all of Brissett's fantasy production on Sunday was basically in garbage time. Brissett's 258 passing yards were actually his fewest in his four starts with Kyler Murray (foot) injured, but he's now thrown eight touchdowns and only one pick in his time as Arizona's starter. He'll be in play as a QB2 again in another divisional matchup in Week 11 against the San Francisco 49ers. With Murray now on Injured Reserve, Brissett is guaranteed to make at least three more starts.

Jaxon Smith-Njigba Snags Touchdown in Victory
Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba got off to a hot start during Sunday's game against the Arizona Cardinals. Smith-Njigba scored a 43-yard touchdown on the opening drive. He took a shot to the head later in the first quarter and was taken out of the game to be evaluated for a concussion. Luckily, Smith-Njigba was fine and returned to continue doing damage to this defense. He finished his day with five receptions on six targets for 93 yards and a touchdown in the win. Smith-Njigba becomes the first player this season to reach 1,000 receiving yards. He'll look to keep the good times rolling against the Los Angeles Rams next weekend.

Kyren Williams Scores Twice in Week 10 Victory
Los Angeles Rams running back Kyren Williams has seen a reduced role in the backfield this season. Despite that, Williams continues to find ways to succeed, which he did once again on Sunday. Williams rushed 14 times for 73 yards and scored two touchdowns in the win over the San Francisco 49ers. He has now scored three touchdowns over his last two games. The biggest downside is that Williams continues to split up the backfield duties with Blake Corum. The Rams might need to rely on Williams more heavily next weekend in what could be a high-scoring affair against the Seattle Seahawks.
