DJ Moore Cleared to Play in Week 10
Chicago Bears wide receiver DJ Moore (groin, hip) upgraded to a full practice on Friday and has been cleared to play this Sunday against the visiting New York Giants in Week 10. Moore was held out of practice on Wednesday and was limited on Thursday before being a full-go in the final practice of the week. The 28-year-old has battled injuries in recent weeks, but he hasn't missed any games and will be full speed ahead this weekend in a good matchup against the G-Men. Moore has mostly taken a back seat to second-year wideout Rome Odunze in 2025, but that wasn't the case in the team's 47-point explosion in the Week 9 win over the Cincinnati Bengals. He had four catches for 72 yards, a 17-yard rushing touchdown, and even threw a touchdown pass on a track play, while Odunze didn't have a single catch. Moore has only two touchdowns on the year, but he has topped 70 receiving yards for the first time all year in two straight games. Fantasy managers will be hoping that trend continues as a low-end WR2/high-end WR3/flex in Week 10.

Ricky Pearsall Not Able to Hit Normal Running Speeds Yet
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Ricky Pearsall (knee) has been running, but he hasn't quite been cleared to make his return after spraining his PCL in the Week 4 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars, according to Cam Inman of the Bay Area News Group. "He can run and hit certain speeds. But he hasn't been able to hit his normal speeds that would allow him to come back. We're waiting until he hits his markers," head coach Kyle Shanahan said. Pearsall was officially ruled out for Week 10 this Sunday against the division-rival Los Angeles Rams, his sixth straight absence. The 25-year-old was a popular breakout candidate during training camp and the preseason this year, with Brandon Aiyuk (knee) recovering from a torn ACL and MCL, but injury issues of his own have limited him to just four games, and he's running out of time to make an impact for his fantasy managers. Pearsall must get back on the practice field next week to have a chance at playing in Week 11 against the Arizona Cardinals.

Jeremy McNichols Looking to Bounce Back in Week 10
Washington Commanders running back Jeremy McNichols only had one carry for four yards, but he added a season-high five catches on six targets for 64 receiving yards in the Week 8 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs while playing a season-high 43% of the offensive snaps. The 29-year-old couldn't stack another strong game on top of it, though, as he played only 26% of the snaps in the Week 9 loss to the Seattle Seahawks and wasn't targeted through the air. McNichols had just one carry again for no gain. It was the first time he was held without a catch since back in Week 3. Fantasy managers definitely can't realistically treat McNichols as a starting option, but both he and Chris Rodriguez Jr. may start to see more involvement with rookie Jacory Croskey-Merritt hitting a rookie wall. On the year, McNichols has only 272 scrimmage yards and a touchdown on 29 touches.

Terry McLaurin Officially Ruled Out for Week 10
Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin (quadriceps) did not practice all week and has officially been ruled out for Week 10 against the visiting Detroit Lions, according to Ben Standig. McLaurin suffered a quad injury in Week 4 and missed four games before returning in Week 8. The 30-year-old veteran aggravated the injury upon his return, and now he'll miss a second straight game. There have been reports suggesting that he may be out beyond the team's Week 12 bye, too, so fantasy managers could be without McLaurin beyond this weekend. The Commanders are extremely banged up heading into Week 10, as quarterback Jayden Daniels (elbow) and receiver Luke McCaffrey (collarbone) are out for the foreseeable future. Veteran Deebo Samuel Sr. is going to be force-fed targets, while rookie Jaylin Lane will also have an increased role in the passing attack in D.C. going forward.

Tua Tagovailoa a Low-End QB2 Against the Bills
Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa continues to struggle at the helm of the Dolphins' offense, but he'll continue to start this week in a home game against the Bills. Last week, he threw for 261 passing yards and one interception on Thursday Night Football against the Ravens. He didn't throw any touchdowns, and he has one or zero scores in three of the last four weeks, with the one exception being his strong showing against the Falcons. He's averaging only 6.6 yards per attempt and 197.7 yards per game, and the Bills have allowed the second-fewest fantasy points to quarterbacks this season. He had 146 yards, two touchdowns, and an interception against the Bills in Week 3. His recent struggles without Tyreek Hill drop him all the way down to QB24 this week, meaning he should barely be starting in two-QB leagues even with bye weeks.

Tre' Harris Still a Deep-League Stash Heading into Sunday Night
Los Angeles Chargers rookie wide receiver Tre' Harris has recently seen his role grow, holding about a 50% snap share and catching two passes for 18 yards last week in the team's win over the Tennessee Titans. Although he made a clutch first-down catch to help secure the victory, he remains part of a crowded receiver group with several proven pass-catchers ahead of him. Facing the surging Pittsburgh Steelers defense, Harris's chances for a significant fantasy performance are limited. While the questionable injury status of fellow rookie KeAndré Lambert-Smith (hamstring) could slightly increase his route participation, the presence of established receivers limits his weekly volume. Harris should still be a deep-league stash, but probably shouldn't be in starting lineups this week.

Jaret Patterson is a Worthy Stash Heading into Sunday Night
Los Angeles Chargers running back Jaret Patterson was called up from the practice squad and made an immediate impact, leading the backfield with 44 yards on nine carries (4.9 YPC) in last week's win over the Tennessee Titans. Although he outperformed Kimani Vidal in efficiency, Vidal remains the primary back. Additionally, Patterson is not heavily involved in the passing game, which limits his weekly floor. He continues to serve as a change-of-pace option, and while he is seeing more snaps, the Pittsburgh Steelers present a tough matchup on the ground. With Hassan Haskins (hamstring) and Omarion Hampton (ankle) on IR until after the Week 12 bye, Patterson is a potential stash for managers in deep leagues, but he should stay on the bench for Week 10.

Matthew Golden Misses Friday's Practice
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Matthew Golden (shoulder) was unable to take part in practice on Friday. Golden was forced to make an early exit during the Week 9 loss to the Carolina Panthers. The rookie wideout was limited in practice on Thursday before being downgraded to out on Friday. He'll get another day to get ready ahead of the Monday night matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles. If he's unable to play, Romeo Doubs, Christian Watson, and Dontayvion Wicks would all see larger roles.

Chargers D/ST Must Rely on Pressure Sunday Night
The Los Angeles Chargers defense/special teams unit performed well against the Tennessee Titans last week, holding the offense to just 233 total yards, recording four sacks, and making key stops in the red zone. Cornerback Tarheeb Still (knee) missed the last game and is doubtful for Week 10, but the Bolts should get safety Tony Jefferson (hamstring) back. They face a methodical Pittsburgh Steelers offense led by veteran quarterback Aaron Rodgers, who will attempt to control the clock. The Chargers' top-three pass defense will rely on pass rushers like Odafe Oweh (two sacks last week) to pressure the less mobile Rodgers. Since the Steelers play a slow, grind-it-out style, the Chargers D/ST lacks the high-turnover potential that often makes a defense an attractive start. They are ranked as D/ST14 and should be viewed as a lower-tier streaming option for this week.

Puka Nacua Will Play in Week 10
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua (ribs) has been cleared to play ahead of the Week 10 matchup against the San Francisco 49ers. Nacua was limited to begin the week, but was able to finish out the week with two straight full practice sessions. Barring any setbacks, Nacua will be out there in full capacity for this weekend's divisional matchup. When healthy, Nacua has been unbelievable on the field, so he'll obviously need to be started in all fantasy formats this weekend.

Raiders Fire Special Teams Coordinator Tom McMahon
The Las Vegas Raiders have decided to fire special teams coordinator Tom McMahon on Friday. This news comes after a tough Week 10 loss to the Denver Broncos on Thursday. That game had a few key special team incidents, including a blocked punt and a missed 48-yard field goal late in the game. It has been a downward spiral for the Raiders, so it's time for them to shake up the coaching staff and see if that helps. Derius Swinton II, the assistant special teams coach, has been named the interim special teams coordinator for the rest of the season.

Cameron Dicker the Top Kicker Heading into Sunday Night
Los Angeles Chargers kicker Cameron Dicker is a must-start every week, and this Week 10 home matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers is no different. Dicker was perfect last week, making both of his field goal attempts (including a 52-yarder) and all three extra points. The Steelers' defense has been playing well lately, suggesting they could limit the Chargers' red-zone opportunities and force them to settle for field goals instead of touchdowns, which would boost Dicker's volume. Given his consistency and the likely need for his leg against a potentially tough opponent, RotoBaller projects Dicker as the K1 this week.

Oronde Gadsden Continues Ascent Heading into Week 10
Los Angeles Chargers rookie tight end Oronde Gadsden led the team in receiving yards (68) and tied for second in targets during last week's win over the Tennessee Titans. He has quickly become a trusted red-zone option for Justin Herbert, with seven red-zone targets over the past four games. Heading into Week 10, Gadsden faces a favorable matchup against a Pittsburgh Steelers defense that has struggled against the tight end position, allowing the sixth-most yards and tying for the second-most touchdowns to the position this year. Although the Steelers' defense contained the Indianapolis Colts' rookie tight end, Tyler Warren, last week, the overall trend favors Gadsden's usage and effectiveness. He is shaping up as a mid-range TE1 with clear upside. RotoBaller ranks him as TE4 this week and should be started in all formats.

Nick Chubb Cleared to Play in Week 10
Houston Texans running back Nick Chubb (foot) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's Week 10 matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Chubb sat out practice to begin the week, but was able to return as a limited participant on Thursday. Now, Chubb has been removed from the injury report ahead of this divisional matchup. The 29-year-old figures to continue splitting up the backfield duties with Woody Marks. There has been a fairly even split between the two backs in recent weeks. That being said, both backs will have limited value until one pulls ahead as the lead back.

Cedric Tillman a WR5 in Expected Return from Hamstring Injury
Cleveland Browns wide receiver Cedric Tillman (hamstring) has practiced fully all week and is expected to make his return in Week 10 after a four-week stay on injured reserve due to a hamstring injury. If Tillman ultimately ends up playing, he will make his return on the road against the New York Jets. The veteran got off a fast start in 2025, catching touchdowns in each of his first two games, although his production tailed off in Weeks 3 and 4 before his hamstring issue. The Jets' secondary should be vulnerable after they traded Sauce Gardner to the Indianapolis Colts on Tuesday at the NFL trade deadline. That being said, the Cleveland passing attack hasn't inspired much confidence with Dillon Gabriel at the helm, leaving Tillman as a WR5/desperation flex in fantasy heading into Week 10.
