Cade Otton Carving Out Larger Role in Tampa Bay
Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cade Otton has seen his involvement in the offense increase over recent weeks. During the first four weeks, Otton was a dud, including two games where he was held without a catch. Since then, Otton has become a viable fantasy option and figures to keep doing that in Week 10. Coming into this game, Otton has at least four receptions or more and 40-plus receiving yards in each of his last four contests. The Bucs continue to be shorthanded on offense and Otton has stepped up and delivered for them. Fantasy managers should continue to ride with Otton as a TE2 for the upcoming matchup against the New England Patriots.

Emari Demercardo Likely Earned Larger Role
Arizona Cardinals running back Emari Demercado posted his best performance of the season during last week's win over the Dallas Cowboys. Demercado saw a season-high 14 carries for 79 yards in the Week 9 victory. Before that, Demercado saw only a few carries in the backfield, but figures to have earned a larger role in the backfield. It's worth noting the Cardinals are operating a three-back committee with Michael Carter and Bam Knight involved as well. It seems like the team goes with the hot-hand in the backfield which is Demercado right now. Fantasy managers in desperate need of help for Week 10 might want to consider Demercado as a possible flex option.

Parker Washington Should be Busy in Week 10
Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Parker Washington is expected to have an expanded role during Sunday's game against the Houston Texans. The Jags will be without both Brian Thomas Jr. (ankle) and Travis Hunter (knee) during this Week 10 matchup. That means, Jakobi Meyers, Washington, and Dyami Brown should be the primary wideouts this weekend. Last week, Washington secured eight of his nine targets for 90 yards in the win over the Las Vegas Raiders. The 23-year-old has seen 19 targets over his last two games. He has shown enough on the field lately to be plugged in as a flex option for Week 10.

Chris Rodriguez Jr. Likely to See More Carries
Washington Commanders running back Chris Rodriguez Jr. is coming off his best performance of the season last week. In Week 9, Rodriguez rushed a season-high 12 times for 65 yards and scored a touchdown in the loss to the Seattle Seahawks. Finally, the Commanders have decided to give Rodriguez a chance and he proved he's up for the challenge. He figures to at least split the early-down work with Jacory Croskey-Merritt while Jeremy McNichols handles the pass-down duties. It's not a favorable situation for fantasy managers, but Rodriguez is looking like the best of the bunch right now. He'll be worth a look as a flex option in deep leagues for Week 10.

Zach Tom Questionable to Play Vs. Eagles
Per the team, Green Bay Packers offensive lineman Zach Tom (back) is questionable to play in Monday night's home matchup with the Philadelphia Eagles. Tom logged a week's worth of limited practice sessions ahead of Week 10's clash due to a back injury, and is among four Packers' offensive players who have been deemed questionable. The Wake Forest product had already missed two games earlier this season due to an oblique injury. However, he's been one of the best run-blocking tackles in the league when healthy, and can hold his own in pass-blocking situations, too. If Tom is eventually unable to suit up, teammates Darian Kinnard and Anthony Belton are the most likely to work in his stead.

Savion Williams Deemed Questionable for MNF
ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that Green Bay Packers wide receiver Savion Williams (foot) has been labeled as questionable for the team's home clash with the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday Night Football. The TCU product joins fellow wide receivers Matthew Golden (shoulder) and Dontayvion Wicks (calf) on the injury report, as all three have garnered the questionable tag. With Wicks out the previous two contests, Williams had seen his snap share rise slightly. That said, he operated fifth in that regard, commanding just three targets (3/20/1) across the sample. If all three wideouts wind up being inactive, teammates Christian Watson, Romeo Doubs, and Malik Heath would man Green Bay's pass-catching corps as the only receivers without a designation.

Ray-Ray McCloud III Elevated to Giants' Active Roster
According to Dan Salomone of Giants.com, the New York Giants have elevated wide receiver Ray-Ray McCloud III from the practice squad to the active roster ahead of Sunday's matchup with the hosting Chicago Bears. McCloud III will suit up for a second consecutive game for the Giants after joining the squad roughly two weeks ago. In his debut, the 29-year-old played the second-most snaps of all New York wideouts (91%). However, he was targeted just once (1/5). While he may boast more work as he becomes more comfortable in his new surroundings, the Giants' passing offense has not found consistent success supporting multiple fantasy wide receivers. McCloud III will rank as RotoBaller's PPR WR88 for his clash with Chicago.

Cooper Kupp Should Be Active Vs. Cardinals
Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Cooper Kupp (hamstring, heel) is expected to be active for Sunday's home tilt with the Arizona Cardinals, according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. Despite being listed as questionable while dealing with multiple injuries, the veteran should make his return from a one-game absence in Week 10. However, he'll be faced with more target competition, as the team added former New Orleans Saints wide receiver Rashid Shaheed at Tuesday's trade deadline. Kupp has played a clear second fiddle to running mate Jaxon Smith-Njigba in 2025, and the acquisition of Shaheed stands to dent his impact further. Look for him to stay involved while his new teammate is worked into the offense, but the 32-year-old is trending down.

Harold Fannin Jr. Likely Good to Go Against the Jets
Cleveland Browns tight end Harold Fannin Jr. (hamstring) is expected to play on Sunday versus the New York Jets. The 21-year-old didn't practice on Thursday and was limited on Friday, resulting in a questionable designation. However, it doesn't appear as if he was in any real danger of missing the meeting with the Jets. Fannin is currently the team's top receiving option. In eight games, he's amassed 38 receptions (51 targets) for 352 yards and two touchdowns, making him a starting fantasy option in all formats, even with the expected return of Cedric Tillman (hamstring).

Cedric Tillman Anticipated to Play on Sunday
Cleveland Browns wide receiver Cedric Tillman (hamstring) is expected to play in Week 10 against the Jets. The wideout appeared in only four games this season, amassing 11 receptions (20 targets) for 106 yards and two touchdowns. Unfortunately, he injured his hamstring and has been sitting on the shelf for over a month. Tillman practiced in full everyday this week, so his activation from the Injured Reserve list on Saturday wasn't surprising. All things considered, it's unknown if he'll be limited in his first game back. However, Tillman's presence may be enough to lower the ceiling of Jerry Jeudy and David Njoku. That would apply to Harold Fannin Jr. (hamstring), who is also in line to suit up versus New York.

Tetairoa McMillan Likely Playing on Sunday
Carolina Panthers wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan (hamstring) is expected to play in Sunday's game versus the New Orleans Saints. He showed up on Friday's injury report because of a hamstring issue, resulting in a questionable designation. Fortunately, it appears fantasy managers will have him out there in Week 10. The rookie has played well this season despite only scoring two touchdowns, amassing 41 catches (69 targets) for 558 yards, making him a viable fantasy option in any format for the favorable matchup with the Saints. His presence in the lineup could also make life easier for Bryce Young, who is coming off a rough showing in Week 9 against the Green Bay Packers.

D'Andre Swift Anticipated to Play Against the Giants
According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, Chicago Bears running back D'Andre Swift (groin) is anticipated to suit up on Sunday versus the New York Giants. The 26-year-old has been battling a groin injury for a few weeks. However, it finally kept him off the field for the Week 9 win over the Cincinnati Bengals. Kyle Monangai handled nearly all of the snaps out of the backfield in that one, amassing 176 yards off 26 carries, adding three receptions for 22 yards. While Swift might lead the way in snaps at the position, it's hard to imagine Monangai going away after such a strong performance. Unfortunately, the backfield competition makes this situation hard to navigate from a fantasy standpoint. With that said, Swift still is worth starting in most fantasy formats for the favorable matchup with the Giants, although that may change in the weeks ahead.

Garrett Wilson Expected to Suit Up in Week 10
New York Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson (knee) is expected to play on Sunday versus the Cleveland Browns. The wideout injured his knee in the Week 6 loss to the Denver Broncos, keeping him off the field for the Jets' previous two games heading into the Week 9 bye. He practiced in a limited capacity on Wednesday and Thursday. However, despite logging a full session on Friday, it still wasn't good enough to avoid a questionable tag. Fortunately, it appears Wilson will suit up, so he's anticipated to pick up right where he left off as the top target for quarterback Justin Fields. Of course, Wilson is a must-start in all fantasy formats, although his presence could mean less attention for Tyler Johnson, Isaiah Williams, Mason Taylor, and the recently acquired Adonai Mitchell, assuming he plays.

Jake Bates A Top Kicker Option in Week 10 Versus Washington
Detroit Lions kicker Jake Bates projects as one of the top kicker options for Week 10's matchup against the Washington Commanders. Bates hasn't been quite as effective this season compared to last, however, making just nine of 13 attempts, but he has nailed all 30 of his extra points, which is the most in the league. His 69.2% field goal percentage ranks 31st out of 33 qualified kickers this season. The Lions attempt field goals at one of the lowest rates in the league, but Bates has still struggled to deliver in his limited opportunities. Bates should have plenty of opportunity for scoring in Week 10 against a Washington defense that hasn't shown itself capable of stopping anything recently.

Chase McLaughlin A Solid Option in Week 10
Tampa Bay Buccaneers kicker Chase McLaughlin has been reliable again this season, making 17 of his 21 field goal attempts and converting 16 of 17 extra points. His 81% field goal percentage ranks just below the league average of 83.6% and is a sizable step down from last season's career best mark of 93.8%, which was third best in the league. The 29-year-old has been money on kicks from 50 yards or longer this season, drilling all eight of his attempts. No other kicker has made more than six. The eight field goals from 50 yards or more are already one shy of his career best mark set back in 2022. McLaughlin has solid streaming value in Week 10 against New England, which is one of the highest projected totals of the week.
