Jaylen Warren Poised for Another Big Game in Week 10
Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Warren is averaging 16 fantasy points per game this season and has a great opportunity to keep rolling in Week 10 against the Cincinnati Bengals. Cincinnati is allowing the eighth-most yards per carry to opposing backs and has surrendered consecutive 100-yard rushing performances over the past two weeks. Through nine weeks, teams haven't run the ball often against the Bengals, instead opting to keep pace with their high-powered offense. However, Pittsburgh has found success winning games behind its rushing attack, led by Warren and backfield mate Rico Dowdle. When Warren faced Cincinnati in Week 3, he exploded for 176 total yards on 20 touches. Even with Dowdle getting more involved in recent weeks, Warren has remained excellent for fantasy purposes and should be viewed as a must-start RB1 in this divisional matchup.

Drew Lock Cleared to Play Sunday
Seattle Seahawks quarterback Drew Lock (elbow, oblique) does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's contest on the road against the Las Vegas Raiders and will play in Week 10, according to Gregg Bell. The Seahawks took it easy on Lock for a second straight week during practice as he battles right-elbow and oblique injuries, but neither ailment is serious enough to keep him sidelined this weekend. It is good news for Seattle, who will be without starting signal-caller Sam Darnold (quadriceps) for a second straight game. Lock has done a good job of managing the game and limiting turnovers in his three games (two starts) this year in place of the injured Darnold, completing 71.1% of his pass attempts for 597 yards, five touchdowns, and no interceptions while leading the Seahawks to two wins. That does not mean that he will be a starting option in single-QB fantasy football leagues this weekend in Sin City. The Seahawks will likely lean heavily on their ground game again to take the pressure off of Lock as a passer. In what could be his final start before Darnold returns to the starting gig, Lock will be a low-end QB2 option for fantasy managers in superflex leagues in Week 10.

Aaron Rodgers on Fantasy Radar in AFC North Showdown
Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers will return from a Week 9 bye to take on the division-rival Cincinnati Bengals in Week 10. When Rodgers last faced Cincinnati in Week 3, he finished as a top-10 fantasy QB with 292 passing yards, three touchdowns, and one interception. Although he'll be on the road this time, the Bengals remain a relatively favorable matchup, surrendering 229 passing yards and over 28 points per game to opposing offenses at home. Unlike most AFC North battles, this contest is expected to be high-scoring, with a projected point total of around 49.5. The Steelers have won their last few games behind a strong running game, but Rodgers will likely need to throw more in this one to keep pace with Cincinnati's high-powered offense. While the 42-year-old isn't necessarily a must-start, he profiles as a high-end QB2 with plenty of streaming appeal on Sunday night.

Tyler Higbee Cleared to Play Sunday
Los Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee (illness) was limited in practice on Friday but has been removed from the Week 10 injury report and will play on Sunday against the division-rival Arizona Cardinals, according to Blaine Grisak of Sports Illustrated. Higbee came down with an illness on Thursday and did not practice, but he is feeling better now and will be fine to suit up on Sunday in what should be an elevated pass-catching role for the banged-up Rams offense. Fellow tight end Colby Parkinson (rib) will also be active, while Davis Allen (oblique) is questionable. The Rams now have receivers Puka Nacua (knee, toe), Davante Adams (hamstring), and Jordan Whittington (back) on Injured Reserve, so quarterback Matthew Stafford has run out of reliable targets in the passing game going into a very favorable matchup this weekend in the desert. Tight end Terrance Ferguson (ankle, hamstring) also remains on IR. The 33-year-old Higbee has not had more than two receptions or 14 yards in any of the last three games, but with all of L.A.'s wideouts hurt, he will be on the TE1/2 borderline in fantasy football this weekend. In the first meeting with Arizona on Oct. 18, Higbee caught all four of his targets for 22 yards. His lone touchdown in 2026 came in the Sept. 27 loss to the Denver Broncos.

Aaron Nesmith Active on Friday
Indiana Pacers guard/forward Aaron Nesmith (knee) is available for Friday's NBA Cup matchup against the New York Knicks despite dealing with right knee soreness. The 27-year-old is averaging 11.7 points, 2.2 rebounds, and 1.7 assists in 25.2 minutes through 10 appearances. His three-point shooting and defensive contributions give him some fantasy value in deeper leagues.

Chris Rodriguez Jr. Good to Go in Week 10
Jacksonville Jaguars running back Chris Rodriguez Jr. (hand) was limited in practice on Friday but was removed from the Week 10 injury report and will suit up for Sunday's divisional clash in Tennessee against the Titans. Despite being limited in practice all week with a hand injury, Rodriguez is good to go this weekend and will continue his role as the change-of-pace option behind RB1 Bhayshul Tuten. C-Rod played a season-high 45% of the offensive snaps in last week's blowout win over the Baltimore Ravens on Thursday night with Tuten nursing an ankle/foot injury. It led to 10 carries (the second-highest total of the season) for only 19 yards, but he managed to find the end zone for the fourth time this year and the second time in as many weeks, while catching both of his targets for 13 yards. He has been second fiddle to Tuten in Jacksonville's backfield this year, so with Tuten active again in Week 10, it is hard to trust C-Rod as anything more than a deep-league, touchdown-dependent RB3/flex option against the Titans. In his first year in Duval in 2026, the former sixth-rounder from Kentucky has carried the football 55 times for 228 yards (career-low 4.1 yards per attempt) and four touchdowns, adding only four catches for 36 yards in the passing game. Rodriguez is ranked as RotoBaller's No. 36 fantasy RB in Week 10.

Adonai Mitchell Practices in Full but Listed as Questionable for Week 10
Despite practicing in full on Friday, New York Jets wide receiver Adonai Mitchell (knee) is listed as questionable to play in Week 10 on Sunday against the division-rival Buffalo Bills, according to Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic. Fellow wideouts Garrett Wilson (concussion) and rookie Omar Cooper Jr. (ankle) are also questionable, but all three receivers practiced in full and are trending in the right direction to be available this weekend. The 24-year-old Mitchell missed time with a finger injury, but in his first game back in the Week 8 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders, he exploded for seven catches, 142 yards, and his first touchdown of the year on nine targets. The big performance made him a prime waiver-wire pickup going into the Jets' Week 9 contest on the road against the Kansas City Chiefs, and a lot was expected of him when Wilson was ruled out. Mitchell went on to flop in Kansas City, failing to catch any of his seven targets for a donut in the box score. Around Mitchell's 142-yard explosion in Week 8 were two zeroes for fantasy managers, so it has become extremely difficult to trust him as a starter in fantasy football lineups going into a Week 10 matchup against the Bills, especially with Wilson expected to return from his concussion. Treat Mitchell as a boom/bust WR3/flex. RotoBaller has him ranked as the No. 32 wideout this week.

Pelle Larsson Ruled Out on Friday
Miami Heat guard/forward Pelle Larsson (illness) has been ruled out for Friday's matchup against the Cleveland Cavaliers. The 25-year-old has started Miami's last two games, recording 14 points, seven rebounds, two assists, and one steal in Tuesday's win over Utah. Larsson is averaging 11.4 points, 3.5 rebounds, 3.6 assists, and 1.3 steals in 29.5 minutes per game this campaign. With Klay Thompson (ankle) also sidelined, Andrew Wiggins and Tim Hardaway Jr. should see expanded roles.

Jakobi Meyers Cleared to Face the Titans on Sunday
Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Jakobi Meyers (ankle) was limited in practice on Friday but has been removed from the final Week 10 injury report and will play on Sunday against the division-rival Tennessee Titans. Meyers continues to be listed on Jacksonville's injury report with various issues, but the 30-year-old veteran has not missed a game and enters Week 10 action with 26 receptions for 374 yards (14.4 yards per catch) and two touchdowns in eight games played. Fantasy managers who have been deploying him as a WR3/flex are hoping he can make some noise this weekend against the last-place Titans, as he has not visited the end zone since Sept. 27 in the Week 3 win over the New England Patriots. The problem for Meyers in the Jaguars' offense is that quarterback Trevor Lawrence continues to distribute the football around to all of his weapons instead of honing in on a few select targets. Meyers has been targeted double-digit times in 2026 just once and has not gone over 83 receiving yards in a single game, giving him a somewhat tepid fantasy floor. RotoBaller has Meyers ranked as the No. 28 pass-catcher this weekend in Nashville.

Jalen Suggs Available Against Bucks
Philip Rossman-Reich of OrlandoMagicDaily.com reports that Orlando Magic guard Jalen Suggs (knee) is set to return for Friday's matchup against the Milwaukee Bucks. Suggs missed eight consecutive contests due to a mild right knee bone bruise. The 25-year-old is averaging 8.0 points, 5.0 rebounds, 5.7 assists, and 2.0 steals through three starts. Anthony Black could see fewer minutes with Suggs returning, but he should retain a sizable role with Paolo Banchero (ankle) still sidelined.

Omar Cooper Jr. Questionable to Play in Week 10
New York Jets rookie first-round wide receiver Omar Cooper Jr. (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's Week 10 game against the division-rival Buffalo Bills, according to Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic. The Jets' top receivers are all questionable with injuries this weekend, as Garrett Wilson (concussion) and Adonai Mitchell (knee) are also on the injury report and iffy to play. Wilson, who did not play in last week's loss to the Kansas City Chiefs due to a concussion, is very close to clearing the league's concussion protocol and is expected to return on Sunday, according to head coach Aaron Glenn. All three of Wilson, Cooper, and Mitchell were able to practice in full on Friday, so they should all be on the right side of questionable and eventually cleared to play this weekend. The 22-year-old Cooper, who has already spent time on Injured Reserve in his rookie campaign due to an ankle injury, had 11 catches on 12 targets for 218 yards and two touchdowns in his first two games back, but he laid a donut for fantasy managers in the Week 8 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders when Mitchell returned from a finger injury. He bounced back with eight receptions for 58 yards on a season-high 11 targets in the loss to the Chiefs, but fantasy managers should be knocking him down a few pegs in the flex rankings in Week 10 against Buffalo with Wilson expected to be back. Cooper should be viewed as a boom/bust WR4/flex, with RotoBaller ranking him as the No. 40 WR for Week 10.

Norman Powell Set to Suit Up Friday
According to Joel Lorenzi of The Athletic, Chicago Bulls guard/forward Norman Powell (back) is available for Friday's matchup against the Atlanta Hawks and will not face a minutes restriction. Powell missed the last two games, first sitting out against Philadelphia with a shoulder issue before lower back spasms kept him sidelined Wednesday versus San Antonio. The 33-year-old is averaging 19.3 points and 1.6 steals in 28.8 minutes through eight appearances. With no restrictions on his workload, Powell can be plugged back into fantasy lineups for his scoring and steals.

Klay Thompson Sidelined on Friday
Miami Heat guard/forward Klay Thompson (ankle) will miss Friday's matchup against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Thompson tweaked his left ankle on a late chase-down block during Tuesday's win over Utah, finishing with 11 points on 3-for-13 shooting, including 2-for-10 from beyond the arc. The 36-year-old is averaging 14.4 points and 3.8 three-pointers in 24.8 minutes per game while shooting 40.8 percent from three-point range. With Thompson sitting out the first half of Miami's back-to-back, Andrew Wiggins and Tim Hardaway Jr. will likely see extended minutes, boosting their short-term fantasy appeal.

Bhayshul Tuten Off the Injury Report, Will Play on Sunday
Jacksonville Jaguars running back Bhayshul Tuten (ankle, foot) was limited in practice on Friday but was removed from the Week 10 injury report and will play in Sunday's divisional contest against the Tennessee Titans. Tuten did not practice on Wednesday and Thursday, and he also missed all three practices on a short week before suiting up and playing in last Thursday's blowout win over the Baltimore Ravens. However, he played in a season-low 36% of the offensive snaps and had a season-low 12 rushing attempts for 29 yards and a touchdown while not being targeted in the passing game for the first time all year. Fantasy managers will be hoping that Tuten is more involved this weekend against the Titans, and they should be comforted by the fact that the 23-year-old at least participated in one practice this week. The second-year RB has been a strong weekly option in fantasy football in 2026, carrying the football 122 times for 521 yards (4.3 yards per attempt) and four rushing touchdowns, adding 15 catches on 16 targets for 181 yards and another three touchdowns as a receiver. Tuten could cede valuable touches to backfield mate Chris Rodriguez Jr. again in Week 10, but fantasy managers should have him on the RB1/2 borderline now that he is officially active for Sunday's game in Nashville.

Cincinnati Bengals Defense Could Struggle Against Steelers
The Cincinnati Bengals Defense will face the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday night in Week 10. After a promising start to the season, the Bengals defense has taken a step back in the past two weeks. The Cincinnati defensive unit allowed 36 points to the Tennessee Titans in Week 8 and 17 points to the Atlanta Falcons last week. The points allowed were not extremely bad last week, but the defense failed to record a single sack for the first time this season. Now the Bengals defense gets to face a Steelers offense that has been rolling on the ground. The Cincinnati defense will also be without safety Kyle Dugger in a game with a nearly 50-point over/under. The Bengals defense is ranked 17th in our RotoBaller Week 10 rankings, making them a unit that can be avoided this week.
