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.

Quentin Johnston Remains Unpredictable Heading into Sunday Night
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.

After Biggest NFL Win, J.J. McCarthy Looks For More In Week 10
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.

Jacory Croskey-Merritt Ready to Go for Week 10
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.

Good Matchup, But Unknown Workload For Jordan Mason
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.

Visiting Ravens An Excellent Matchup For Justin Jefferson
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.

Keenan Allen's Snap-Share Concerns Limit Upside on Sunday Night
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.

Flex Potential For Jordan Addison In Week 10
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.

Kyle Monangai Cleared for Week 10
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.

Jerry Jeudy Hard to Trust in Week 10 Matchup vs. Jets
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.
