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.

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.

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.

Cleveland Cavaliers forward
De'Andre Hunter (illness) will suit up on Friday versus the Wizards. The 27-year-old wasn't available in Wednesday's win over the Philadelphia 76ers. Fortunately, he was listed as probable throughout the day, so fantasy managers had a good feeling he'd be on the floor against Washington. With
Darius Garland back in the mix,
Jaylon Tyson will presumably head back to the bench. However, with
Lonzo Ball (knee, injury management) and
Dean Wade (eye) both out, Tyson should still see meaningful minutes from off the bench.

November 7, 2025
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.

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver
Quentin Johnston bounced back from a zero-target performance by catching four passes for 53 yards and a touchdown against the Tennessee Titans. This week, he faces a vulnerable Pittsburgh Steelers defense that ranks 27th in allowing deep passes (20+ yards), which fits Johnston's downfield role. However, he is likely to have a tough matchup against Steelers cornerback Joey Porter Jr., who is giving up one of the fewest fantasy points per route run in the league (0.15). Johnston's role in the offense remains unpredictable due to the rotating group of pass-catchers, including emerging rookie tight end
Oronde Gadsden. His value heavily depends on game script, since it relies on the offense creating opportunities down the field or near the goal line. Johnston should be considered a boom/bust FLEX option, projected as WR26 this week.

Minnesota Vikings quarterback
J.J. McCarthy is coming off the best victory of his young career last week against Detroit, and can be considered a quality Superflex option when the Baltimore Ravens travel to U.S. Bank Stadium in Week 10. The second-year quarterback completed only 14 passes for 143 yards last week, but made several key plays that spurred the Vikings to victory by accounting for three touchdowns and sealing the game with a perfect throw on a late third-down conversion. He'll take on a Baltimore defense that is allowing points on 48% of drives, which ranks 28th of 32 teams, but has played much better recently, as none of the past three Baltimore opponents surpassed 17 points. McCarthy is still acclimating to being the full-time starter, so it's reasonable to expect some mistakes along the way, but the Week 9 victory gave plenty of reasons for optimism that he can be a fantasy-relevant quarterback as he gains additional experience.

Atlanta Hawks guard
Luke Kennard (illness) will not play Friday night after being downgraded from questionable to out for Friday's home game against Toronto. Kennard has averaged 25.3 minutes per game off the bench for Atlanta this season, chipping in 8.5 points, 2.1 rebounds, 2.0 assists, and 1.3 three-pointers per game. With
Trae Young (knee) out as well,
Nickeil Alexander-Walker,
Keaton Wallace, and
Vit Krejci will have lots of work to do. Alexander-Walker has scored at least 16 points in seven straight games and is taking on more work while Young is out, and since he's so busy, Kennard's work will likely go to Wallace, who missed Sunday's game with an illness but returned with four points, three rebounds, and two assists in 11 minutes on Tuesday. His multi-category potential makes him an intriguing streaming or DFS bargain play with Kennard out.

Washington Commanders running back
Jacory Croskey-Merritt (mouth) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Detroit Lions. Croskey-Merritt was limited to begin the week due to a tooth issue. However, the rookie back was able to finish out the week with back-to-back full practice sessions. He'll be ready to go for this tough matchup against the Lions defense. Croskey-Merritt hasn't found much success on the ground lately. He has been held to 38 rushing yards or fewer in each of his last three games. However, Croskey-Merritt figures to continue having a fairly significant role in the backfield.

Minnesota Vikings running back
Jordan Mason faces a friendly matchup against a Baltimore Ravens team that has struggled to stop the run for large portions of the year, but it remains to be seen how the Vikings will allocate carries in their backfield in Week 10. Fellow running back
Aaron Jones Sr. (shoulder, toe) left last week's game and is questionable to play against the Ravens, which offers a range of possibilities for Mason. Jones was the more effective option last week in a key victory against Detroit, and though Minnesota head coach Kevin O'Connell has expressed optimism about Jones playing this week, Mason would be the featured option if Jones were to miss the game. The Vikings have ridden the hot hand when both backs have been available, which can be challenging to predict for fantasy purposes. But with Mason facing a good matchup and still getting a reasonable amount of work alongside Jones, he's a playable RB3/flex option in most formats.

Washington Wizards guard
Kyshawn George (illness) won't play versus the Cleveland Cavaliers. He was riding a questionable tag on Friday because of an illness. Unfortunately, George will officially be sidelined against the Cavs. His next chance to return to action will be for Saturday's meeting with the Dallas Mavericks. However, as far as Friday night is concerned, fantasy managers could see increased production from
Justin Champagnie, Cam Whitemore, and
Bub Carrington behind
Alexandre Sarr.
--Dennis ClausenSource: Washington Wizards
November 7, 2025
Minnesota Vikings wide receiver
Justin Jefferson is yet again a WR1 option when his team plays host to the Baltimore Ravens, who have allowed opposing teams to score on 48% of their drives, the fourth-highest rate in the NFL. Baltimore ranks 23rd against PPR receivers this season and has allowed the seventh-most air yards on the season, though the Ravens have looked significantly improved during the past month, during which they've allowed their past three opponents an average of 13 points. Behind quarterback
J.J. McCarthy, who is playing for the first time after missing his entire rookie season and five games this year, the Vikings threw for only 143 yards last week in a win at Detroit. Even in a light week, Jefferson still drew nine targets and caught a touchdown, which should inspire some optimism as Minnesota sticks with McCarthy full-time. Though Minnesota figures to have some bumps in the road with a young quarterback, Jefferson is too good to be held in check for long stretches.
--Nick PiotrowiczSource: RotoBaller
November 7, 2025
Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver
Keenan Allen had another quiet week, recording season lows with just five targets and two catches for 41 yards. The main concern is his snap share, which has dropped to 25% and 37.5% over the past two weeks as rookie pass-catchers like
Tre' Harris and
Oronde Gadsden take on bigger roles. Despite facing a favorable matchup against a surging but still vulnerable Pittsburgh Steelers pass defense, Allen's reduced usage limits the upside fantasy managers have come to expect. He does have a good individual matchup against Steelers cornerback Darius Slay, who is allowing 1.3 yards per route run, showing he can still move the chains when targeted. However, due to his declining volume, Allen is best viewed as a low-end WR3 or FLEX option this week, projected as WR35.
--Don FanelliSource: RotoBaller
November 7, 2025
Minnesota Vikings wide receiver
Jordan Addison is a suitable WR3/flex option when his team takes on the Baltimore Ravens in Week 10. The third-year receiver is coming off back-to-back underwhelming weeks, but should step into a friendlier matchup against a Ravens secondary that ranks 23rd against PPR receivers. The Vikings earned their biggest win of the season last week behind quarterback
J.J. McCarthy, who helped the Vikings top the Detroit Lions, though they completed just 14 passes for 143 yards in doing so. Addison, however, has averaged 6.8 targets per game since his return from suspension and should continue to see a better volume as the offense acclimates to its young quarterback. Fellow receiver
Justin Jefferson remains the team's top target, yet Addison has a favorable matchup and enough volume to consider playing him in most formats.
--Nick PiotrowiczSource: RotoBaller
November 7, 2025
Chicago Bears running back
Kyle Monangai (ankle) is ready to go ahead of the Week 10 matchup against the New York Giants. Monangai was limited to begin the week due to an ankle issue. However, the rookie back was able to get in back-to-back full practice sessions to clear him for this weekend. Last week, Monangai rushed 26 times for 176 yards, while hauling in three receptions for 22 yards in the win over the Cincinnati Bengals. Fellow back
D'Andre Swift (groin) still remains uncertain for this weekend. If they both play, head coach Ben Johnson said he'd likely ride the hot hand to determine the workload. This could end up as a frustrating situation for fantasy managers.
--Andy WebbSource: Bears PR
November 7, 2025
Cleveland Browns wide receiver
Jerry Jeudy will come out of his bye to take on the New York Jets on the road in Week 10. Jeudy was quiet last time he took the field, failing to catch either of his two targets in a loss to the New England Patriots. The veteran wideout will look to bounce back against a Jets team that just traded away their best cornerback, Sauce Gardner, on Tuesday. Jeudy has caught just 22 of his 54 targets for 257 scoreless yards in eight contests this season as he has been one of fantasy's biggest busts thus far. He should not be in fantasy lineups in Week 10, even against a vulnerable New York secondary.

November 7, 2025
San Jose Sharks left wing William Eklund (lower body) was placed on Injured Reserve on Friday and will miss a third consecutive game against the Winnipeg Jets. In a corresponding move, San Jose activated Ryan Reaves (lower body) from Injured Reserve. Eklund, who has amassed 11 points (five goals, six assists) in 12 games, will also sit out Saturday's clash against the Florida Panthers. Collin Graf is expected to take Eklund's place in the top six for Friday's contest. Graf had a short-handed assist in Wednesday's 6-1 victory over the Seattle Kraken, but he has struggled with consistent offensive production, totaling four points (one goal and three assists) in 13 games this season.

November 7, 2025
Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver
Ladd McConkey remains a crucial part of the passing attack, recording a 23.5% season-long target share and catching four of six targets for 56 yards in a close win against the Tennessee Titans last week. This week, he faces the Pittsburgh Steelers' league-worst passing defense, which ranks 30th in yards allowed per game, although they recently defeated the red-hot Indianapolis Colts. While he will likely draw the attention of Steelers' cornerback Jalen Ramsey, McConkey's exceptional ability to create separation should keep his target volume high. He has become
Justin Herbert's most trusted receiver over the last few games and is expected to receive plenty of targets against a recently surging defense. Although his WR1 ceiling is often touchdown-dependent due to the many mouths to feed in Los Angeles, his high floor makes him a dependable high-end WR2 or low-end WR1 option that should be started in all leagues.
--Don FanelliSource: RotoBaller
November 7, 2025
Minnesota Vikings wide receiver
Jalen Nailor made the catch of the game last week to seal a big victory at Detroit, but the receiver's low volume should keep him out of lineups in most leagues when the Vikings play host to the Baltimore Ravens. The Vikings have called upon the former Michigan State standout in big moments, including a game-sealing third-down reception last week from quarterback
J.J. McCarthy. However, he's still averaging fewer than two catches per game this season. The Ravens rank 23rd against PPR receivers, but have held their past three opponents to an average of 13 points. With Nailor still firmly behind fellow receivers
Justin Jefferson and
Jordan Addison in the pecking order, he's a touchdown-dependent option who should be avoided if possible.

According to ESPN's Shams Charania, Brooklyn Nets guard
Cam Thomas (hamstring) will miss 3-4 weeks. As expected, the 24-year-old has shined on the scoring end for the Nets this season, averaging 21.4 points. Unfortunately, he'll be on the shelf with a hamstring strain, something he dealt with throughout the 2024 campaign. With that said, fantasy managers shouldn't be surprised to see Thomas' absence extend beyond the four-week mark. In the meantime,
Terance Mann,
Noah Clowney, and
Tyrese Martin are the favorites to pick up the slack on the scoring end behind
Michael Porter Jr.--Dennis ClausenSource: Shams Charania
November 7, 2025
Minnesota Vikings tight end
T.J. Hockenson should be considered a low-end TE2 option with his team taking on the Baltimore Ravens in Week 10. The veteran burned his former team, the Detroit Lions, with a touchdown catch last week, but Minnesota completed only 14 passes for 143 yards behind first-time starting quarterback
J.J. McCarthy, albeit in a big victory. The Ravens currently rank 10th against half-PPR tight ends, and Baltimore has held its past three opponents to an average of 13 points. In McCarthy's three starts this year, Hockenson has a total of 10 targets, and there could be more bumps in the road with what is effectively a rookie quarterback learning on the fly. Hockenson is still a distant third in the Vikings' passing game pecking order behind receivers
Justin Jefferson and
Jordan Addison, so relying upon the tight end is a tough sell this week.
--Nick PiotrowiczSource: RotoBaller
November 7, 2025
Chicago Bears second-year wide receiver
Rome Odunze (ankle, heel) upgraded to a full practice on Friday and has been cleared to play this Sunday against the visiting New York Giants in Week 10, according to the team. Odunze played through a heel in last week's win over the Cincinnati Bengals and added an ankle injury on Sunday. The 23-year-old did not practice on Wednesday and was limited on Thursday before upgrading to full practice on Friday. It's good news that he won't be missing this weekend's tilt, but fantasy managers have to be a little concerned that Odunze didn't have a single catch last week despite the team putting up 47 points against a porous Bengals defense. Despite the donut in Week 9, fantasy managers should have Odunze in their starting lineups this weekend, as he's tied for the team lead in targets (31) and leads the Bears in receptions (59), receiving yards (473), and touchdowns (five) in eight games this year.

Kicker
Will Reichard should be considered an average fantasy option when his Minnesota Vikings play host to the Baltimore Ravens in Week 10. Baltimore ranks 24th against fantasy kickers on the season, but has seen its defense come to life in the past month. The Ravens have held their past three opponents to an average of 13 points, and they enter the game with a few days of added rest after playing the Thursday night game in Week 9. Minnesota quarterback
J.J. McCarthy performed admirably in a big win at Detroit, but he's started only three times in his career, and some bumps in the road should be expected. Reichard has been excellent overall, however, making 16-of-18 field goal attempts, but a tough-to-predict Vikings offense makes him a middling fantasy option.

Winnipeg Jets winger Gustav Nyquist (undisclosed) skated in a non-contact jersey during the morning skate but is expected to remain out for Friday's meeting with the San Jose Sharks. Due to an unspecified health issue, Nyquist is forced to skip a third straight game. The Swedish veteran has tallied five assists in 11 games this season. With Nyquist sidelined, Nikita Chibrikov may return to the lineup for Friday's matchup. The Russian forward has been a healthy scratch so far in November after failing to score in his first five appearances of the season.

Los Angeles Chargers running back
Kimani Vidal struggled against the Tennessee Titans' weak run defense, gaining only 30 yards on 12 carries, averaging just 2.5 yards per carry. This Week 10 matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers presents a much tougher challenge, as the Steelers just held the league's top running back,
Jonathan Taylor, to a season-low 45 yards. The Steelers have significantly improved their run defense since the first half of the season, making Vidal's chances of fantasy success highly dependent on a positive game script. With
Hassan Haskins (hamstring) and
Omarion Hampton (ankle) still on IR, Vidal will see the volume, but if the game stays close, a pass-heavy approach could limit his rushing opportunities. Vidal is considered a mid-range RB2 and a high-floor PPR FLEX option, projected as RB17. However, his ceiling depends on the Chargers securing an early lead.

November 7, 2025
Indianapolis Colts wide receiver
Michael Pittman Jr. (glute) was able to practice in full on Thursday and Friday and has been cleared to play in Week 10 against the Atlanta Falcons in Berlin, Germany, on Sunday. Pittman was held out of Wednesday's practice with a glute injury, but he quickly returned to a full practice on Thursday and is fine to play overseas this weekend. The 28-year-old needs to be in all starting fantasy lineups this weekend as the Colts look to bounce back from only their second loss of the year last week to the Pittsburgh Steelers. Pittman has been the clear WR1 for the Colts and quarterback
Daniel Jones in 2025, catching 52 of his 68 targets for 561 yards and six touchdowns in what has been a fine bounce-back season for him. He could be primed for another big game against Atlanta, a defense that has been more vulnerable to WRs in recent weeks.

Luguentz Dort (trapezius) won't play on Friday versus the Sacramento Kings. The 26-year-old suffered a right trap injury in Tuesday's meeting with the Los Angeles Clippers after a collision with
Ivica Zubac. He didn't return in that one and would go on to miss Wednesday's loss to the Portland Trail Blazers.
Ajay Mitchell ended up getting the start in his place against the Blazers, finishing with 21 points. Mitchell did have five turnovers, something fantasy managers should keep in mind. Still, he has plenty of streaming value. As far as Dort is concerned, his next chance to get back on the court will be on Sunday in Memphis.

November 7, 2025
Cleveland Browns running back
Quinshon Judkins suffered a shoulder injury in a Week 8 loss to the New England Patriots, but he comes out of his Week 9 bye without an injury designation. He should be in line to handle his normal workload in a Week 10 road matchup against the New York Jets. The Jets have struggled against running backs this season, allowing the seventh-most fantasy points per game to the position. A Tuesday trade of Quinnen Williams to the Dallas Cowboys won't help matters much as New York looks to try to slow down Judkins. The Browns have a good shot at beating or at least keeping things close against the Jets in Week 10, which makes Judkins less likely to see a poor game script limit his touches. He sets up as a low-end RB1 in fantasy heading into Week 10.

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback
Justin Herbert enters Week 10 aiming to maintain his efficient performance against a Pittsburgh Steelers defense that has shown vulnerabilities through the air. Despite Pittsburgh ranking last in passing yards allowed per game and 27th in fantasy points per dropback on deep passes, they recently improved by beating the league's top offense, the Indianapolis Colts, last week. Herbert's protection remains a significant concern, with tackle Joe Alt out for the season, and the Chargers trading for the inconsistent yet necessary Trevor Penning. The offensive line, which allowed six sacks last week, has forced Herbert (who already leads all quarterbacks in rushing yards) to use his legs to extend plays and gain yardage. After a solid 250-yard, three-touchdown performance, Herbert's efficiency and rushing floor make him a strong start. RotoBaller projects Herbert as QB5 this week, and he remains a high-end QB1.

Vancouver Canucks goaltender Thatcher Demko (undisclosed) may be absent for this weekend's back-to-back against the Columbus Blue Jackets and Colorado Avalanche. According to Canucks head coach Adam Foote, Demko might miss the action "because of preventative maintenance." The American netminder has faced several health issues in recent years, and it's understandable that the Canucks want to manage his workload. This season, things have gone well for Demko, as he sits on a 5-4-0 record and has a 2.57 goals-against average with a .911 save percentage. If Demko has to take some time off, Kevin Lankinen and Jiri Patera will share the Canucks crease.
