Georgia Tech Transitioning to DeAndre Hopkins as Wide Receivers Coach
Future Pro Football Hall of Fame wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins will take over as Georgia Tech's wide receivers coach after the Yellowjackets let go of former offensive coordinator George Godsey and wide receivers coach Jafar Williams. Hopkins joined the team as an assistant wide receivers coach, likely ending his 13-year NFL career, during which he recorded 13,295 yards receiving and 85 touchdowns receiving. Georgia Tech's passing game has been fairly productive this season, averaging 241.2 yards passing per game. Jordan Allen is the team's leading receiver, totaling 576 yards receiving on 49 receptions, but has found the end zone just once this season.

Travis Hunter Only Worth Deep-League Holds After Week 9
Jacksonville wide receiver and cornerback Travis Hunter is only worth holding in deeper fantasy leagues after he put together another lackluster performance in Week 9. He was targeted just once in the passing game - he made the catch, but lost a yard and also fumbled and lost the ball. Hunter has seven receptions for 75 yards and a touchdown this season, and four catches for 59 yards, and the score came in one contest, so he's barely done anything else. He's not getting on the field nearly enough to be worth more than a bench spot in deeper leagues for now. Injuries could push him up the depth chart, but he's a much bigger defensive asset for Jacksonville this season.

Jacksonville Plans to Hold Brian Thomas Jr. Through Trade Deadline
Jacksonville plans to keep wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr. on the roster through this year's trade deadline, according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. The Jaguars have relayed that message to inquiring teams. Thomas was a star in his rookie year in 2024, catching 87 of his 133 targets for 1,282 yards and 10 touchdowns. He regressed in year two across 14 games, tallying 707 yards and two touchdowns over 48 receptions and 91 targets. This season in eight games so far, Thomas has just 117 yards and two touchdowns on 10 catches and 22 targets. He went from playing 80% of the team's offensive snaps as a rookie to 78% of the snaps last year - Thomas is at just 43% so far this season. His fantasy value is dropping rapidly, and staying with the Jaguars won't help his cause.

Malachi Fields Offers Deep-League Value Heading into Week 10
New York Giants wide receiver Malachi Fields has produced more over the past three weeks, and that gives him deep-league fantasy appeal heading into Week 10. The rookie has five or more targets in three straight appearances, but anywhere from 19-83 yards. He's getting on the field more now than he did earlier this season, and it's led to some better fantasy showings. Fields still has only one touchdown grab on the year though, and has only gone over 50 yards twice, so he's no more than a deep-league option. Fields is one to monitor in case he ever takes off, but he should be skipped in standard leagues for now.

Oregon Announces Teitum Tuioti Will Miss the Rest of the Season
Oregon edge rusher Teitum Tuioti will be out for the remainder of the 2026 season due to a knee injury, according to Ducks head coach Dan Lanning. Tuioti is third on the team in tackles with 44, while he has also recorded 5.5 sacks, which is second on the team, a pass defensed and a forced fumble through nine games this year. Even with Tuioti making a significant impact, the Oregon defense has struggled at times this season, allowing 349.7 total yards per game, which is middle of the pack. Tuioti is a highly sought-after prospect for the upcoming 2027 NFL Draft.

Justice Hill Worth Deep-League Pickups Before Week 10
Baltimore running back Justice Hill is worth adding in some deeper leagues prior to the kickoff of Week 10 games. He's coming off his best fantasy performance of the season - Hill rushed nine times for 85 yards and a score against Jacksonville in Week 9, plus had three receptions for seven yards across three targets. He has only topped 35 total yards in one other game this season, but he does have six or more touches in three straight appearances. In the right matchups, Hill could be deployed in deeper leagues, but behind bellcow Derrick Henry, there's not a lot of work available in the Baltimore backfield. Matchups that favor receiving running backs are where fantasy owners can consider Hill in deeper setups.

Jordan Watkins on the Waiver Radar Amid WR Injuries
San Francisco wide receiver Jordan Watkins is a rising fantasy asset after what he's done over his past two games. He went for 56 yards on three receptions and six targets in Week 7 against Atlanta, then caught all four of his targets for 86 yards and a score against the Raiders in Week 9. He has played more the past three games with the 49ers dealing with a bevy of injuries to offensive players. The more time that Mike Evans (ribs, Achilles), Christian Kirk (knee) and Deebo Samuel Sr. (hamstring) miss, the more valuable Watkins becomes. It's worth noting that Watkins' role could be wiped away with the return of even a couple of those wide receivers though. Watkins is still worth adding in more fantasy leagues going into Week 10. He's a solid deep-league starting option for now, and could become a standard league streaming threat if several Niners miss the game against the Cowboys, which is a very favorable fantasy matchup.

Brian Thomas Jr. a Stash Option in Deep Leagues Before Week 10
Jacksonville wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr. is just worth stashing in deep fantasy leagues going into Week 10. A trade could potentially help his cause, but he hasn't done enough on the field this season to be starting in too many leagues. He has 10 receptions for 117 yards and two touchdowns across 21 targets so far this season. Thomas wasn't targeted in the team's blowout Week 9 win over Baltimore, and Thomas has just one catch over his past four appearances combined. His snap counts have fallen way off, and he's played below 50% of the team's totals in two of the past three games. Thomas can still be stashed through the trade deadline, but if his production doesn't pick up soon, he can be dropped in most leagues.

Oregon State Re-Signs Braden Atkinson for 2027 Season
Oregon State has re-signed quarterback Braden Atkinson for the 2027 season, according to On3's Pete Nakos. It will be Atkinson's second season with the Beavers, as he transferred from Mercer, where he played in 2025. Atkinson has been solid for Oregon State this season, recording 3,169 yards passing while completing 65.8% of his passes, throwing 25 touchdowns against just three interceptions. He has also scored two rushing touchdowns. The Beavers' offense is seventh in the country in total yards per game this season, racking up an average of 498.4 yards per contest while scoring 38 points per game, which is 12th-best in the country.

Jerry Jones Says Teams Haven't Called About Trading for Dak Prescott
Dallas owner Jerry Jones said that trade calls for quarterback Dak Prescott have not come in over the years. Jones added that for most of Prescott's Cowboys tenure, the team hasn't been in a position where trading him away made any sense. He's played in nine games this season and 148 contests over his 11-year career with the Cowboys. This year, Prescott has a 64.9% completion mark, plus 2,381 passing yards and 16 touchdowns. He's thrown five interceptions, while rushing for 102 yards and a score across 25 attempts. Dallas is just 4-5 this season, but is comfortably in second place in the NFC East, only trailing the Giants, who are 5-2-1, so a playoff push is within reason.

Sione Vaki Worth Waiver Consideration in Deep League Before Week 10
Detroit running back Sione Vaki has factored in enough over the past few games to emerge as a possible waiver wire add in very deep fantasy leagues. He has 30 rushing attempts on the season, with 14 of those coming over the past two contests. Vaki has seven receptions over eight targets this season, with three targets and catches over the past two games. He has racked up only 135 rushing yards and 64 receiving yards, but he's starting to get enough work to be a possible streaming option in very deep leagues. His Week 10 matchup against the Patriots is a tougher one though, so he's likely to be skipped outside very deep fantasy setups. He's one to remember if Jahmyr Gibbs ever were to be injured or out.

Kimani Vidal Remains a Deep-League PRR Option
Los Angeles Chargers running back Kimani Vidal continues to mix into the team's backfield alongside Omarion Hampton and Keaton Mitchell. Vidal has shown some big-play potential and gets enough passing-down work to be a deep league option, even though his workload is unpredictable. In Week 9, after the bye, Vidal played 28 snaps (39%), which was just one fewer than Hampton and 10 more than Mitchell. He took seven carries for 30 yards and added a six-yard reception. He has at least seven carries in four straight games and is averaging a healthy 4.5 yards per carry on the season. He has one rushing touchdown and one receiving touchdown, along with 10 catches for 56 yards. He's not getting enough volume to be a regular starter, but he's definitely still in the mix for the Bolts, who are desperate for any sort of spark on offense. Vidal has enough potential to be a hold or a stash in deep leagues, in case he gets more work down the line, but he's hard to start in most formats in Week 10 against the Ravens.

Keelon Russell Day-to-Day Heading into Week 11
Alabama quarterback Keelon Russell (ankle) is considered day-to-day heading into the team's Week 11 contest against Vanderbilt. He's played in all nine games for the Crimson Tide so far, completing 67.3% of his passes for 2,263 yards and 18 touchdowns. He has five interceptions on the season, while also rushing for 276 yards and five scores over 74 attempts. Austin Mack is the only other quarterback who has played this season, so he'd be the best guess as to who could replace Russell if he's forced to miss this week's game. Vanderbilt is a pretty favorable matchup for whoever starts at QB for Alabama, with the Commodores allowing 359.1 total yards and 29.4 points per game so far.

Christian Dvorak Sets Up Two Goals as Flyers Earn Rare Win
Philadelphia Flyers center Christian Dvorak tallied a game-high two points as the team recorded a 3-1 road win against the Vancouver Canucks on Monday. The Flyers picked up only their fifth win of the season, with Dvorak contributing two assists. His passing ability helped Michael Bunting open the scoring just 2:03 into the game, and Dvorak earned a power-play assist as Travis Konecny lit the lamp early in the second period. Dvorak is one of only a few Flyers players who can be happy with their contribution in 2026-27. The 30-year-old has produced three goals and seven assists in 20 games, ranking third on the team in scoring.

Demarcus Robinson Is a Good Stash for WR Depth
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Demarcus Robinson returned from an ankle injury in Week 9, and he'll have an opportunity to earn more playing time in the next few weeks as the team continues to deal with multiple other injuries at the position. Robinson was carted off the field with a high ankle sprain in Week 2 and missed five games on IR before being activated and playing in Week 9 against the Raiders. He played 51% of snaps in his return and tied for second on the team with four targets. He caught three of those passes for 22 yards, but he should be able to ramp up to a bigger role in the coming weeks if Mike Evans (Achilles) remains sidelined. Deebo Samuel Sr. (hamstring) has also been out, but he seems to have a better chance of returning this week. Robinson will remain boom-or-bust since Brock Purdy spreads the ball around, but he can be an emergency option in deep leagues against the Cowboys this week and a good stash for depth in most leagues now that he's back from injury and playing in an effective passing offense.
