Chris Rodriguez Jr. a Must-Add with Teammate Missing Practice
Jacksonville Jaguars running back Chris Rodriguez Jr. (hand) managed an RB19 fantasy finish in Week 8 on the strength of a 28-yard third-quarter touchdown run, but in a game that Jacksonville led wire-to-wire, he carried the ball only six times while teammate Bhayshul Tuten (foot, ankle) dominated touches. While ordinarily that would not be a recipe for repeatable success, Tuten missed Monday's practice with a foot and ankle injury and was not spotted at the start of Tuesday's session as the Jaguars face a short week of preparation ahead of Thursday night's matchup with the Ravens. Rodriguez was listed as limited in Monday's practice estimation, but he should be ready for Thursday's game. If Rodriguez should have the backfield to himself, his upside is obvious in a Jaguars offense that has topped 30 points on four separate occasions, making him a priority waiver add in Week 9.

Garrett Wilson Not Expected to Be Traded
As the NFL trade deadline approaches and rumors abound about the future of New York Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson, NFL insider Adam Schefter has shut down any speculation of a trade. "I was told last week, no way they trade him," he said on Tuesday. Speaking specifically about a reunion with quarterback Aaron Rodgers with the Pittsburgh Steelers, he noted, "I don't think people know that full relationship there. I don't know that that would work. That's not happening. Garrett Wilson's not being traded to Pittsburgh." Wilson leads the Jets with 43 receptions for 527 yards and three touchdowns, but he has been outshined in recent weeks by Adonai Mitchell and rookie Omar Cooper Jr.

Bhayshul Tuten Still Not Seen at Practice
Jacksonville Jaguars running back Bhayshul Tuten (foot) ran for a career-high 104 yards in a Week 8 blowout win over the Colts, but with a short week of preparation ahead of a Thursday night matchup with the Ravens, he was not spotted during the media-accessible portion of Tuesday's practice. Tuten missed Monday's practice with the foot and ankle injury suffered in Sunday's win, and as the only player not spotted on Tuesday, he is trending toward his first missed game of the year. Tuten has scored four touchdowns in his last two games, ranking as the overall RB1 by points per game over that stretch, but his absence would create an opportunity for Chris Rodriguez Jr., who scored a 28-yard touchdown of his own in Week 8.

Malik Washington a Safe-Floor Waiver Option
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Malik Washington caught five of his six targets for 40 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's loss to the Patriots, and he has now reached 40 receiving yards in six of seven contests in 2026. While Sunday's score marked his first of the season, he has consistently provided a usable fantasy floor, topping 8.5 half-PPR points in four of his last five games. He has also been the Dolphins' most targeted wide receiver in six of seven games, and with a favorable Week 9 matchup against the Detroit Lions, Washington makes for a low-cost plug-and-play waiver add as RotoBaller's WR26.

Caleb Hawkins Eyes Big Performance in Favorable Week 10 Matchup
Oklahoma State running back Caleb Hawkins will look to keep delivering big for fantasy managers in his Week 10 matchup against Kansas State. The Wildcats are allowing 318 total yards per game, but 166.1 of those are on the ground, so the matchup is pretty favorable for Hawkins. The Oklahoma State RB has 906 rushing yards and four touchdowns across 167 attempts on the season, plus has caught 31 passes for 353 yards and two scores. He has at least 17 carries in all but one contest this season, and he's gone over 100 total yards in five straight outings. Combining his on-field production with his matchup, Hawkins is a pretty solid fantasy starting option for Week 10.

Trey'Dez Green Looks to Keep Producing in Tough Week 10 Test
LSU tight end Trey'Dez Green will look to keep delivering in a tough Week 10 test against Alabama. The Crimson Tide are allowing 330.4 total yards and 21.3 points per game so far this season. Green has appeared in just four games, but has been pretty involved in each of those contests. He has at least four receptions in all four contests and two touchdown grabs across 19 total receptions. Green has 272 receiving yards overall. At a tough fantasy position to find consistent production, Green has been a pretty reliable asset this season. That remains the case for every game he's active for, but expectations need to be tempered a bit when facing tougher opponents.

KJ Duff Hoping to Bounce Back in Tough Week 10 Matchup
Rutgers wide receiver KJ Duff will look to get back on track after a down performance in his last appearance. He had just 33 yards on three receptions against Northwestern in Week 8. Duff's Week 10 matchup is a tough one, as Wisconsin allows 290.1 total yards and 17.1 points per game on the season. Duff has 45 receptions for 774 yards and nine touchdowns across seven games this season. He has delivered some big fantasy showings, but coming off a down outing and going into a tougher test, Duff isn't the confident fantasy starting option he's been most of the season. Fantasy owners need to temper expectations for him in Week 10 and maybe consider benching him.

Aiden Flora Eyes Continued Success in Tough Week 10 Test
Iowa State running back Aiden Flora has delivered some big fantasy showings this season and he will hope to post another one in a tough Week 10 test against Baylor. Flora has 937 rushing yards and eight touchdowns across 131 attempts this season, while adding 80 receiving yards on 13 receptions. He went for 221 rushing yards and two scores across 29 attempts in Week 9, so he's a hot fantasy asset. With big workloads in most games, Flora can post notable fantasy performances. His fantasy expectations just need to be tempered a bit this week, as Baylor allows just 332.8 total yards and 15.3 points per game on the season, and 99.4 of those yards are on the ground. Fantasy owners can still confidently start Flora in most fantasy leagues for Week 10.

Devon Dampier Hoping to Deliver Despite Tough Week 10 Test
Utah quarterback Devon Dampier has a tougher test coming in Week 10 against BYU, but he remains a high-level fantasy starting option based on what he's done this season. The Cougars are allowing just 298.8 total yards and 18.8 points per game, so this will be a bit of a challenge for Dampier. The Utah QB has completed 69.6% of his passes for 1,876 yards and 18 touchdowns across eight games played so far. He has multiple TD passes in all but one contest, but six of his seven interceptions have come across the past four games. Dampier has 393 rushing yards and five scores across 83 carries, which helps offset some of the INTs. He's shown enough this season to trust in all matchups, but his fantasy expectations need to be tempered going into this tough Week 10 test.

Jeremiah Smith Looking to Get Back on Track in Week 10
Ohio State wide receiver Jeremiah Smith has seen his production dip a bit of late, but he still remains a high-end fantasy option going into his Week 10 matchup against Oregon. He has 1,067 receiving yards and 13 touchdowns over 62 receptions so far this season. While he's caught four touchdowns over the past three games, he's failed to top 100 receiving yards in any of those contests. He will try to get back to his elite levels of production against Oregon, which allows 341.8 total yards and 21.4 points per game. It's not a great matchup, but it's also not a tough test, so Smith should be lined up to produce big. He remains a must-start player, and that should stick for the remainder of the season, as long as he's healthy.

DeSean Bishop Looks to Keep Producing in Ranked Matchup
Tennessee running back DeSean Bishop has put together some big showings over the past four games, and he'll hope to make it five straight when he takes on Kentucky in Week 10. Bishop has 120 or more rushing yards in four straight games, and he's scored seven rushing touchdowns in that span. He hasn't added much as a pass catcher this season, but he's up to 171 rushing attempts, including at least 19 attempts in four straight outings. Kentucky is a bit of a tougher test, with the Wildcats allowing 362.6 total yards and 24.8 points per game, but 113.3 of those yards are on the ground, so Bishop's outlook is pretty solid. That makes him worth starting in most fantasy leagues.

Oklahoma Sticking With John Mateer
Oklahoma will stick with John Mateer at quarterback as they prepare for a key matchup with Florida on Saturday, according to CBS Sports' Matt Zenitz. "Handled his normal amount of reps with the first-team offense during OU's practice today, per sources," posted Zenitz to his X account on Tuesday. Mateer has struggled mightily this season, leading the Sooners to a subpar 4-4 record. Through eight games, Mateer has completed 65.6% of his passes for 1,835, and 13 touchdowns, but those numbers have also come with seven interceptions, including a three-interception game against Kentucky on Oct. 17. Mateer and Oklahoma will go up against a Florida pass defense that has allowed 235.8 yards passing per game. Mateer is RotoBaller's 23rd-ranked quarterback and is projected to score 19.3 fantasy points against the Gators.

Sam Leavitt a Solid Week 10 Option Despite Tough Test
LSU quarterback Sam Leavitt has delivered pretty well this season, and that keeps him as a worthwhile fantasy starting option despite a tough Week 10 test coming against Alabama. The Crimson Tide are allowing 330.4 total yards and 21.3 points per game so far, so it will be a bit of a stiffer test for Leavitt. The LSU quarterback has completed 70.3% of his passes this season for 2,173 yards and 17 touchdowns - he has been picked off eight times, while rushing for 324 yards and eight touchdowns across 72 attempts. Leavitt has multiple TD passes in five straight contests, and has tacked on two rushing scores in that stretch. He remains a good fantasy starting option, although his fantasy expectations need to be tempered a bit this coming week.

Caleb Douglas' Expanded Role Boosts Waiver-Wire Appeal
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Caleb Douglas caught four of six targets for 43 yards in Sunday's 24-19 loss to the New England Patriots, following his two-touchdown performance against the New York Jets in Week 7. The rookie's increased playing time was particularly encouraging, as he led Miami's receivers with 56 offensive snaps (86%), up from 44 snaps (68%) against the Jets. His targets also doubled from three to six, although Malik Washington and tight end Greg Dulcich matched that total against New England. Douglas has recorded 13 receptions for 226 yards and two touchdowns in four games, including five catches for 94 yards in his NFL debut against the Las Vegas Raiders. After missing three games with an ankle injury, he appears to be establishing himself as a regular contributor in Miami's passing attack. His explosive-play ability offers fantasy upside, although target competition remains a consideration with Malik Willis under center. RotoBaller's Week 9 waiver rankings list Douglas as 28% rostered and recommend adding him in leagues with 12 or more teams. He also sits at WR31 in RotoBaller's early Week 9 half-PPR rankings ahead of Sunday's matchup with the Detroit Lions.

Brevyn Spann-Ford Emerges as Potential Week 9 Streaming Option
Dallas Cowboys tight end Brevyn Spann-Ford offers waiver-wire appeal in Week 9 after Jake Ferguson (ankle) was injured in Week 8. While Ferguson has yet to be ruled out, Spann-Ford's snap share has slowly increased over the past three weeks, rising from 46 percent in Week 6 to 53 percent in Week 7, and to a season-high 88 percent in Week 8. Now, yes, a lot of that had to do with Ferguson's injury; however, Spann-Ford has also seen five targets in two of his last three games and appears to be on the fantasy radar if he were to own the position himself. Spann-Ford has been fairly efficient on a targets-per-route basis (23%); he just hasn't been getting the opportunities (2.3 targets per game) this season. Fantasy managers in deep formats looking for a tight end option may want to turn to Spann-Ford in Week 9 if Ferguson does sit this one out.
