San Francisco 49ers quarterback
Brock Purdy (toe) is getting a lot closer to returning, and the team is hopeful that he can start in Week 11 against the Arizona Cardinals, according to Jeremy Fowler of ESPN. The 49ers will decide before their matchup on Sunday against the Rams if Purdy will be active as the team's No. 2 quarterback behind
Mac Jones, a promising sign in his recovery. Purdy came back in Week 4 against the Jaguars, but ultimately made the turf toe injury worse and has since missed five consecutive games. The 25-year-old hasn't registered a full practice since Week 4, but it looks like he is getting close to returning as San Francisco's QB1. Jones has filled in admirably in Purdy's absence, but he will move back to being the backup quarterback once Purdy is ready to go.

New Orleans Saints wide receiver
Chris Olave caught three of four targets for 57 yards in the Week 9 loss to the Rams. The four targets marked a season low after he entered the week ranked second in the league in targets while
Spencer Rattler was under center. With rookie
Tyler Shough now at the helm, the two will need to develop chemistry quickly, especially after the Saints traded away
Rashid Shaheed, who led the team in targets during Shough's first start. Olave is averaging a career-low 10.2 yards per reception but a career-high 6.1 catches per game, showcasing his reliability as the clear No. 1 option in the passing game. His ceiling remains high, though quarterback uncertainty keeps him in the WR2 range for Week 10 against a tough Panthers defense that has allowed the sixth-fewest PPR points to wide receivers.

Atlanta Falcons tight end
Kyle Pitts Sr. is seeing consistent looks in this offense in 2025, averaging over six targets, five catches, and 47 yards per game this season. Unfortunately, it has yet to translate to touchdowns, as the 25-year-old has recorded just one score on the year. That could change this weekend, as Week 10 brings a matchup in Germany against the Colts. Indianapolis has allowed the fourth-most passing yards per game in the NFL over its last three games (268.7) and has allowed 24.5 points per game on the road (16.6 PPG at home). Not only that, they've yielded a touchdown pass to a tight end in four consecutive games now. With newly acquired CB Sauce Gardner set to cover
Drake London or another receiver, it could open things up more for Pitts, so the 6-foot-6 tight end projects as a top 10 option at the position this week.

Washington Commanders quarterback
Jayden Daniels (elbow) could potentially return after three weeks, though the timeline could end up being a five- to six-week period, depending on his evaluation after the bye week in Week 12, according to Jeremy Fowler of ESPN. Daniels did not suffer any ligament damage and won't need surgery on his injured left elbow, and will avoid being placed on Injured Reserve. It was a gruesome-looking injury for the second-year quarterback during Washington's Week 9 loss to the Seahawks, but it looks like Daniels avoided a significant season-ending injury and could be back for the team's Week 13 matchup against the Broncos following their bye week. Washington's record could play into the decision on when and if he returns, but if he is back to full health, fantasy managers can expect Daniels to suit up and play. Veteran
Marcus Mariota will slide back in as the starter while Daniels is sidelined.

New Orleans Saints running back
Devin Neal logged three carries for 11 yards and caught his lone target for one yard in the Week 9 loss to the Rams. With
Alvin Kamara officially questionable due to an ankle injury ahead of Week 10, Neal could be in line for additional work. The rookie was a sixth-round pick after an impressive career at Kansas, where he set program records with 4,343 rushing yards and 49 touchdowns. However, he's seen limited action in the NFL, totalling just six carries for 21 yards and four receptions for 12 yards. Even if he draws the start against the Panthers, Neal should remain on waivers in most formats, though he could hold deep-league appeal if Kamara is sidelined.

Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said on Saturday that rookie wide receiver Matthew Golden (shoulder) is day-to-day and is "fighting to play," according to Weston Hodkiewicz of the Green Bay Packers. Golden left early during Green Bay's Week 9 loss to the Carolina Panthers and was listed as limited in practice on Thursday, but was downgraded to DNP on Friday. LaFleur said that they will see how the rookie first-rounder is feeling and that he needs to "be able to handle everything we're throwing at him." Golden has had an underwhelming season so far in a crowded Packers' pass-catching group, but he has looked dynamic on his limited targets. The rookie has caught 23 of his 29 targets for 262 yards and added eight carries for 45 yards in eight games, but is still searching for his first career touchdown. Golden may need a week to recover from the shoulder injury, with more updates on his status expected soon.

New Orleans Saints running back
Alvin Kamara (ankle) is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Panthers. In Week 9 against the Rams, he continued his season-long struggles, recording just four carries for 14 yards and one reception for four yards. Kamara is in the midst of the worst season of his career, posting lows in nearly every major category: 3.6 yards per carry, 41.9 rushing yards per game, 16.7 receiving yards per game, and 3.9 yards per touch. He also hasn't found the end zone since Week 1. Facing a Panthers defense that allows 110.8 rushing yards and 1.1 rushing touchdowns per game, Kamara is trending in the wrong direction and no longer offers a reliable fantasy floor. He's a low-end RB2, slipping closer to RB3 territory for the divisional matchup.

Atlanta Falcons quarterback
Michael Penix Jr. appears to be rounding into form after a slow, inconsistent start to the season, now with a touchdown pass in four straight games and a 7:1 TD:INT over that span. While that's a positive, the 25-year-old is completing just 60.8 percent of his passes, which is the fourth-lowest mark in the NFL, only slightly better than the likes of
Cam Ward (57.6 percent) and
Dillon Gabriel (59.9 percent), so he can be hard to trust for fantasy. Week 10 brings a road matchup against the Colts in Berlin, Germany, a defense that is middle of the pack in terms of fantasy points allowed to opposing QBs, and that has allowed the fourth-most passing YPG in the NFL over the last three games (268.7). Penix has a lower completion percentage on the road (56.1 percent), but Indianapolis has been more forgiving on the road, allowing 24.5 points per game on the road compared to 16.6 PPG at home. They'll also be without pass-rushing DT DeForest Buckner, which should give Penix a bit more time to throw, and as 6.5-point underdogs, that's likely what he'll have to do. Even so, the left-handed QB shapes up as a mid-range QB2 in Week 10.

New Orleans Saints quarterback
Tyler Shough went 15-for-24 for 176 yards, one touchdown, and one interception in his first career start against the Rams. He led the Saints on a 71-yard touchdown drive to close out the first half but otherwise struggled to sustain offense, with New Orleans holding the ball for just 16:07 compared to Los Angeles' 43:53. The Saints also traded receiver
Rashid Shaheed, Shough's most targeted player in the loss, to Seattle at the deadline. On the positive side, Shough wasn't afraid to air it out, connecting with both Shaheed and
Chris Olave on completions of over 25 yards. He'll look to rebound against the division-rival Carolina Panthers, who are allowing 205.8 passing yards per game, 15th in the league. Shough remains off fantasy radars for now.

Despite a difficult matchup with the Houston Texans, Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver
Parker Washington seems like a solid flex starter this week. With
Brian Thomas Jr. out of the lineup, Washington seems like the prime candidate to step up as the top target. The Jaguars did acquire
Jakobi Meyers via trade, but time will tell how quickly he gets acclimated. That all could mean plenty of targets for Washington, but efficiency is more of a question mark. The young receiver surprisingly had a season-high 11 targets earlier this season against the Texans, and is coming off 19 combined targets the last two weeks. The Jaguars' offense may struggle, but it at least seems Washington will catch plenty of passes to have a solid fantasy day in Week 10.

The Houston Texans made calls to the New York Jets about running back
Breece Hall, according to Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle. The Texans were looking to make a big splash at the deadline with the Jets' star running back, but the asking price was ultimately too high for their liking. Hall was discussed in multiple trade rumors before the deadline, most commonly linked to the Kansas City Chiefs, but the Texans were apparently looking to make an upgrade to their running back room as well. Veteran
Nick Chubb and rookie
Woody Marks will continue to split reps in Houston's backfield moving forward, with neither presenting significant fantasy upside behind a poor offensive line.

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver
Dyami Brown (concussion) has been cleared to play, but remains a risky flex at best against the Houston Texans. With
Brian Thomas Jr. ruled out this week, Brown should get opportunities to make plays in Week 10. However, the Jaguars offense hasn’t been the best this season, and the Texans defense has been stout, especially against the pass. That means it will likely be tough for the Jaguars offense as whole to move the ball well, reducing Brown’s upside. That is especially true with recent acquisition Jakobi Meyers potentially heavily involved moving forward. If fantasy managers are in need of a waiver-wire flex play, they can do worse than Brown, but in a tough matchup, the upside seemingly isn’t there.

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver
Jakobi Meyers will look to get involved in the offense in Week 10, his first week with the team. With
Brian Thomas Jr. out, Meyers has a chance to prove to the team they made the right call in acquiring him. Last week, it was Parker Washington who stepped up with 8 catches for 90 yards. However, the Texans pass defense is one of the best in the NFL, so it may be difficult for the whole offense to step up. That makes Meyers a risky start. Meyers has a chance to be the top target this week which raises his upside, but being on a new team with a tough matchup makes it hard to predict how he will do in Week 10.

Jacksonville Jaguars running back
Travis Etienne Jr. has been a solid fantasy starter this season, which should continue in Week 10. The Houston Texans serve as a somewhat difficult matchup, but are more difficult for passing offenses than rushing offenses. With quite a few receiving options banged heading into this week, the Jaguars could decide to lean on the run game more. Etienne Jr. is coming off a 22 carry, five reception game with 115 total yards against the Las Vegas Raiders. That potential volume gives the Clemson product a solid fantasy floor. Fantasy managers should feel fine starting Etienne Jr. in one of their RB slots against the Texans in Week 10.

Jacksonville Jaguars running back
Bhayshul Tuten has a small chance to be more involved, but is still a risky start in Week 10. The receiving core for the Jaguars is currently banged up, which led them to rely on the run game more last week. That led Tuten to get 10 total touches and find the end zone, but he only produced 28 total yards. The rookie should be involved again against a top defense that’s especially strong against the pass, making him seem like a potentially decent option. However, the floor is very low given his backup status to
Travis Etienne Jr. He should be involved in the game plan, but Tuten is still better left on benches in Week 10.
