The Houston Texans added running back Dare Ogunbowale to their practice squad and elevated him to the 53-man active roster on Saturday for Sunday's Week 10 game against the Cleveland Browns, according to Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle. The Texans needed some RB depth behind Woody Marks now that David Montgomery (groin) has been ruled out for a fourth straight game this weekend. The 32-year-old veteran will return to Houston after being released from the roster on Thursday. In his five appearances for the Texans this year, he has mostly worked in a special teams role and has not had a single carry while catching his only target for a three-yard gain. With Montgomery having a better chance to make his return for next Thursday night's game against the division-rival Indianapolis Colts in Week 11, Ogunbowale could find himself back on the open market very soon. Ogunbowale will not be a realistic starting fantasy option in Week 10 while working on special teams for the Texans in Cleveland.--Keith Hernandez

The Houston Texans have ruled out running back David Montgomery (groin) for Sunday's Week 10 game on the road against the Cleveland Browns due to an ongoing groin injury, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. Montgomery returned to practice this week and is making progress, but the 29-year-old will end up missing a fourth straight game. His absence will be good news for Woody Marks, who will once again operate as Houston's primary running back this weekend, giving him RB2 upside against the Browns. Montgomery scored two rushing touchdowns in his debut with the Texans in the Week 1 loss to the Buffalo Bills, but outside of that, he has been a disappointment for his fantasy managers in 2026. The former third-round pick by the Chicago Bears in 2019 from Iowa State is averaging a paltry 2.7 yards per carry for 138 rushing yards and two touchdowns in just five games played through nine weeks, and when he returns, he will be a touchdown-dependent RB3/flex while sharing touches with Marks. Monty's next chance to make his return will come in a Week 11 contest against the division-rival Indianapolis Colts on Thursday Night Football. With a quick turnaround next week, consider Montgomery questionable for that contest.--Keith Hernandez

Los Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee has been a disappointment in fantasy football lately, consistently failing to meet his projections in most leagues. Expectations have been high for Higbee with Davante Adams (hamstring) and Terrance Ferguson (ankle, hamstring) out, but he has produced a modest eight catches, 63 yards, zero touchdowns, and one fumble over his last four games. During that four-week stretch, he has played roughly 80% of the offensive snaps, so it seems like he's getting closer to making an impact in the passing game. His emergence could finally happen in Week 10 against the Arizona Cardinals, as star receiver Puka Nacua (knee) has joined Adams and Ferguson on injured reserve. Between the two of them, Nacua and Adams were averaging 21.5 targets per game, so there are plenty of vacated targets to be distributed to players like Higbee and fellow tight end Colby Parkinson. There's a realistic path for both Higbee and Parkinson to contribute in fantasy football this week, although the latter has been far more impressive over the last four weeks. Still, Higbee is hanging around as the overall TE12 in RotoBaller's Week 10 fantasy football rankings, which makes him a solid starter in 12+ team leagues. Part of this ranking may be driven by a favorable matchup against the Cardinals, who have allowed the sixth-most touchdowns and fifth-most fantasy points to tight ends in 2026. Higbee caught four passes for 22 yards in his last game against Arizona this year, while Parkinson had five catches, 31 yards, and a touchdown in that contest.--Andersen Pickard

New England Patriots wide receiver DeMario Douglas is already a very appealing WR3/flex option for Week 10 against the Detroit Lions, and he would jump to the WR2 tier with must-start consideration if A.J. Brown (knee, ankle) doesn't end up playing. Brown is questionable to play, and Douglas has repeatedly shown that he can produce impressive fantasy numbers while operating as Drake Maye's top receiver. Over his last five games, Douglas has 22 catches, 352 yards, and four touchdowns. The most encouraging stat from that stretch is that Douglas has 65+ yards in four of his last five games, so managers can expect consistent production if he doesn't end up with a large catch share or touchdown share. Douglas has been able to produce even when he's not in the No. 1 role, but it's no secret that he would be best positioned for success if both Brown and Romeo Doubs (shoulder, IR) are out of the picture. In addition to his role, this week's matchup also works in Douglas' favor, as the Lions have surrendered the eighth-most catches and the 13th-most receiving yards to opposing wide receivers in 2026. He currently ranks as the overall WR27 in RotoBaller's latest fantasy football rankings for Week 10, with the expectation that he'll move up or down a few spots once Brown's status is confirmed Sunday morning.--Andersen Pickard

New England Patriots wide receiver Mack Hollins has proven to be a very reliable target for Drake Maye when healthy, and as a result, he remains in the WR3/flex conversation for deeper 12+ team leagues. Hollins returned from injured reserve last week and wasted no time getting involved, as he caught three of six targets for 36 yards and a touchdown while maintaining a 68% snap share. The 33-year-old is averaging 5.2 targets per game this season, and he should continue to occupy a large role if A.J. Brown (knee, ankle) can't suit up on Sunday. As of now, Brown is listed as questionable, with Hollins and DeMario Douglas set to lead the way if he doesn't play. In addition to his terrific rapport with Maye, Hollins should benefit from a decent matchup against the Lions, who have surrendered the eighth-most catches and the 13th-most receiving yards to opposing wide receivers in 2026. As it stands, Hollins ranks as the overall WR48 in RotoBaller's Week 10 fantasy rankings, with a little bit of wiggle room to move up or down, depending on Brown's status.--Andersen Pickard

New England Patriots tight end Hunter Henry is holding on to his status as a top-12 fantasy option for at least one more week, as the veteran pass-catcher prepares for a highly favorable Week 10 matchup against the Detroit Lions. On paper, it seemed like Henry may be trending in the wrong direction with wide receiver A.J. Brown (knee, ankle) in the mix to play this week. After all, Brown is capable of being targeted in contested situations and around the goal line, potentially taking away from Henry's volume. However, that's not a concern quite yet, as Henry should overcome any competition concerns with a fantastic matchup on tap. The Lions have allowed the most fantasy points, the most yards, and the most touchdowns to opposing tight ends in 2026, keeping Henry in fringe must-start territory for Week 10. Henry also has an impressive track record of his own lately, catching 25 passes for 290 yards and two touchdowns over his last six games. The 31-year-old may eventually have some sell-high potential in fantasy football, but for now, he's firmly in the "hold and start" conversation. He ranks as the overall TE9 in RotoBaller's latest fantasy football rankings for Week 10.--Andersen Pickard

The Pittsburgh Steelers announced on Saturday that they added tight end Pat Freiermuth (illness) to the Week 10 injury report, and he is questionable to play on Sunday night against the division-rival Cincinnati Bengals due to an illness. This news now makes Freiermuth a pretty shaky tight end streamer for Week 10 action against the Bengals, with the game not kicking off until Sunday evening. It also means that fellow TE Darnell Washington could be a sneaky deep-league streamer at the position against a Bengals defense that has allowed 228.3 passing yards per game through nine weeks, which ranks as the 12th-most in the league. The 28-year-old Freiermuth has been a touchdown-dependent TE2 so far in 2026 in his sixth year in the NFL, with Washington getting more involved in the passing attack. He comes off the team's bye week with 25 catches on 35 targets for 235 yards (9.4 yards per reception) and four touchdowns. Freiermuth has not found the end zone in the last three games since scoring twice in the win over the Indianapolis Colts on Oct. 11. He also has not exceeded 46 yards (which came in the season-opening win over the Atlanta Falcons) all year, giving him a pretty low fantasy ceiling and floor this year.--Keith Hernandez

Los Angeles Rams running back Blake Corum continues to operate as the No. 2 option behind Kyren Williams, but that hasn't stopped him from contributing as an impressive fantasy option, and he should continue to be started in many leagues for Week 10 against the Arizona Cardinals. Corum has now scored a touchdown in five consecutive games, and across those five games, he has a total of 48 carries, 285 rushing yards, six catches, 79 receiving yards, and five touchdowns. He is averaging more than 5.9 yards per carry during that stretch of games, too. All in all, Corum has emerged as the overall RB21 in PPR scoring this year, despite playing less than 50% of the snaps in every single game so far. His fantasy outlook was already quite impressive, but he continues to trend up as other members of the Rams' offense deal with injuries. With wide receiver Puka Nacua (knee), wide receiver Davante Adams (hamstring), and tight end Terrance Ferguson (ankle, hamstring) all sidelined, the Rams are expected to run the ball more than usual against the Cardinals. That bodes well for Corum's volume, as well as his ability to extend his touchdown streak to six games. He should continue to be deployed as a low-end RB2 or high-end RB3 against the Cardinals, who have surrendered the ninth-most rushing yards and 12th-most fantasy points to opposing running backs in 2026.--Andersen Pickard

The Indianapolis Colts announced on Saturday that they placed tight end Mo Alie-Cox (groin) on Injured Reserve. Alie-Cox was already ruled out for the Week 10 game this Sunday against the Miami Dolphins, and now he will have to miss at least the next four games due to a groin injury. The Colts have their bye coming in Week 13, so the next time that the 33-year-old will be eligible to play will not come until the Week 15 contest against the division-rival Tennessee Titans on Sunday, Dec. 20. The Colts are running out of healthy tight ends in an offense that just traded away top receivers Keenan Allen and Josh Downs at Tuesday's deadline. Will Mallory (hamstring) has also been ruled out this weekend due to injury, leaving Drew Ogletree and Pharaoh Brown as depth behind starter Tyler Warren against Miami. Alie-Cox continues to be an afterthought in fantasy in a struggling Colts offense, as he caught only four of his six targets for 31 yards and one touchdown in the first nine games of the season before injuring his groin. He should remain on the waiver wire in all fantasy leagues when he returns late in the year.--Keith Hernandez

New York Jets rookie first-round wide receiver Omar Cooper Jr. (ankle), who is listed as questionable for the Week 10 contest on Sunday against the division-rival Buffalo Bills, is expected to be active, sources told CBS Sports' Matt Zenitz. Garrett Wilson (concussion) and Adonai Mitchell (knee), who are also questionable, should be active this weekend as well. Cooper missed time with an ankle injury early in his rookie season, but he returned to catch 11 of his 12 targets for 218 yards and two touchdowns in games against the division-rival New England Patriots and Miami Dolphins before not being targeted at all in the Week 8 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders when Mitchell returned from a finger injury. Mitchell put up a donut last week in the loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, with Cooper catching eight of 11 targets for 58 yards, with Wilson sidelined due to a concussion. All three wideouts should be active on Sunday against the Bills, with Wilson having the safest fantasy floor as quarterback Geno Smith's go-to target. The 22-year-old Cooper has clear upside as the 30th overall pick in this year's draft from Indiana, but there is also plenty of volatility for fantasy managers considering him as a flex option with Wilson set to return in Week 10. RotoBaller has Cooper ranked as the No. 40 fantasy WR this weekend.--Keith Hernandez
