The Los Angeles Chargers announced that rookie tight end
Oronde Gadsden (knee) is questionable to return to Sunday night's game against the Pittsburgh Steelers in the second half due to a knee injury. Gadsden injured his knee in the third quarter in Week 10 and was seen limping to the locker room to be evaluated. At the time of his injury, the 22-year-old rookie had caught three of his six targets for only 13 yards. Despite the slow game, Gadsden had become a must-roster player in fantasy football after recording at least 68 receiving yards in each of his previous four games. The fifth-rounder came into Sunday night's action with 32 catches on 38 targets for 453 yards and two touchdowns as L.A.'s top pass-catching TE.
Will Dissly was a healthy scratch for this game, so
Tucker Fisk and
Tyler Conklin will pick up the slack if Gadsden cannot return against Pittsburgh.

Chicago Bears wide receiver
Rome Odunze surprisingly put up a donut for his fantasy managers in the Week 9 comeback win over the Cincinnati Bengals in a game in which the Bears put up 40-plus points. The 23-year-old second-year pass-catcher rewarded fantasy managers who stuck with him in another comeback win for Chicago on Sunday over the New York Giants, as Odunze caught six of his 10 targets for a team-high 86 yards and a touchdown. Odunze also led the Bears in receptions and targets, and his sixth touchdown of the year was a two-yard hookup with quarterback
Caleb Williams in the fourth quarter. The strong day was great to see for Odunze, who went quiet after scoring five times in the first four games of 2025. Consistency has not been Odunze's strong suit in his sophomore season, but he still leads Chicago in catches (37), receiving yards (559), and receiving touchdowns (six) through 10 weeks. The former first-rounder should be in all fantasy lineups in a potential Week 11 shootout against Minnesota.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers rookie wide receiver
Tez Johnson continues to see his role grow in his first year in the NFL, with
Mike Evans (collarbone),
Chris Godwin (leg), and
Jalen McMillan (neck) injured. The Buccaneers fell short coming out of their bye in a 28-23 defeat to the visiting New England Patriots on Sunday in Week 10, but it wasn't because of Johnson's efforts. The 23-year-old first-year wideout caught four of his five targets on the day for 42 yards and two touchdowns. He averaged a healthy 10.5 yards per catch and now has four touchdowns in his first eight NFL games. In fact, Johnson has scored all four of his TDs in his last four games. He has had at least five targets in the last three games as he and fellow rookie
Emeka Egbuka lead Tampa's banged-up receiving corps. Evans and McMillan may not return this year, and Godwin is unlikely to be back in Week 11 against the Bills, so Johnson will be firmly in the WR4/flex mix in fantasy yet again next weekend.

San Francisco 49ers tight end
George Kittle suffered a hamstring injury in the season opener and landed on Injured Reserve, so it's been a frustrating season for his fantasy managers. However, Kittle showed on Sunday why he's still a high-end fantasy TE when he's healthy. In the team's 42-26 loss to the division-rival Los Angeles Rams in Week 10, he led the team by catching all nine of his targets for a season-high 84 receiving yards and his third touchdown of the season. Kittle's nine targets were tied for second on the team, and his nine catches and 84 receiving yards led the 49ers. The 32-year-old veteran's touchdown was a nifty show of athleticism as he tiptoed the sideline and dove for the pile-on. Kittle also made a highlight-reel catch earlier in the game where he laid out with full extension to make the grab. He had more yards on Sunday than he did in his previous three games, and he could be starting to heat up just in time for quarterback
Brock Purdy (toe) to potentially return in Week 11 against the Cardinals.

The Arizona Cardinals were blown out on the road 44-22 by the division-rival Seattle Seahawks in Week 10, but veteran quarterback
Jacoby Brissett was able to rack up yardage and throw two more touchdowns for fantasy managers in two-QB leagues on Sunday. Brissett finished the day 22-for-44 passing for 258 yards, two touchdowns, and no interceptions while adding four carries for an additional 31 yards on the ground. The 32-year-old was sacked five times for a loss of 52 yards. Seattle went up 35-0 in the first half, so all of Brissett's fantasy production on Sunday was basically in garbage time. Brissett's 258 passing yards were actually his fewest in his four starts with
Kyler Murray (foot) injured, but he's now thrown eight touchdowns and only one pick in his time as Arizona's starter. He'll be in play as a QB2 again in another divisional matchup in Week 11 against the San Francisco 49ers. With Murray now on Injured Reserve, Brissett is guaranteed to make at least three more starts.

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver
Jaxon Smith-Njigba got off to a hot start during Sunday's game against the Arizona Cardinals. Smith-Njigba scored a 43-yard touchdown on the opening drive. He took a shot to the head later in the first quarter and was taken out of the game to be evaluated for a concussion. Luckily, Smith-Njigba was fine and returned to continue doing damage to this defense. He finished his day with five receptions on six targets for 93 yards and a touchdown in the win. Smith-Njigba becomes the first player this season to reach 1,000 receiving yards. He'll look to keep the good times rolling against the Los Angeles Rams next weekend.

Los Angeles Rams running back
Kyren Williams has seen a reduced role in the backfield this season. Despite that, Williams continues to find ways to succeed, which he did once again on Sunday. Williams rushed 14 times for 73 yards and scored two touchdowns in the win over the San Francisco 49ers. He has now scored three touchdowns over his last two games. The biggest downside is that Williams continues to split up the backfield duties with
Blake Corum. The Rams might need to rely on Williams more heavily next weekend in what could be a high-scoring affair against the Seattle Seahawks.

Detroit Lions wide receiver
Jameson Williams got off to an extremely slow start to Sunday's game against the Washington Commanders. Williams entered halftime with only one reception for 19 yards. Fantasy managers thought they were getting a dud from Williams, but he turned it around in the second half. Williams finished his day with six receptions on seven targets for 119 yards and a touchdown in the blowout win. This is now back-to-back games in which Williams has found the end zone. He'll look to keep that streak alive against the Philadelphia Eagles next week.

San Francisco 49ers quarterback
Mac Jones has been able to make the most of this starting opportunity while
Brock Purdy (toe) is sidelined. On Sunday, Jones did everything he could to help his team win, but unfortunately it wasn't enough. He completed 33-of-39 passing attempts for 319 yards with three touchdowns and one interception in the loss to the Los Angeles Rams. Jones made some mistakes as well, but he also posted his third 300-plus yard passing game of the season. It's unclear if Purdy will be ready to start for the Week 11 matchup against the San Francisco 49ers. If not, Jones should be viewed as a streaming option for that one.

Arizona Cardinals tight end
Trey McBride had his best performance of the season during Sunday's game against the Seattle Seahawks. McBride carried a three-game touchdown streak into this contest, which was in jeopardy until he scored mid-way through the third quarter. Overall, McBride finished with nine receptions on 15 targets for 127 yards and one score in the blowout loss. McBride has seen his fantasy value quickly rise with
Jacoby Brissett under center. The Cardinals figure to ride with Brissett for the rest of the season, which is good news for McBride fantasy managers. He'll carry his four-game touchdown streak into the Week 11 matchup against the San Francisco 49ers.

Detroit Lions quarterback
Jared Goff didn't seem to have any issues during Sunday's game against the Washington Commanders. This defense had absolutely no answers for Goff as he picked them apart all game. Goff completed 25-of-33 passing attempts for 320 yards with three touchdowns and zero interceptions in the win. The 31-year-old has now thrown for multiple touchdowns in five of his last six games. This marked only the second time this season that Goff has thrown for over 300 yards in a single game. He'll look to keep the fun times going against the Philadelphia Eagles next weekend.

Los Angeles Rams quarterback
Matthew Stafford completed 24 of his 36 pass attempts for 280 yards, four touchdowns, and zero interceptions during Sunday's Week 10 win over the San Francisco 49ers. The veteran quarterback continues to strengthen his MVP candidacy, playing turnover-free football while racking up passing touchdowns. He has now thrown for at least four touchdowns in each of his last three games, totaling 13 touchdowns and zero turnovers during that three-week span. He has a whopping 25 touchdowns and just two turnovers in 2025, keeping the Rams in the hunt for the top seed in the NFC. All the while, he has maintained QB1 value in fantasy football despite his lack of rushing upside. Managers should start him in all leagues ahead of next week's matchup against the Seattle Seahawks.

Detroit Lions running back
Jahmyr Gibbs had 15 carries for 142 rushing yards and two rushing touchdowns during Sunday's Week 10 win over the Washington Commanders. He also caught three of his four targets for an additional 30 receiving yards and one receiving touchdown. Just one week removed from a disappointing showing at home, Gibbs bounced back with a monstrous three-touchdown explosion on the road. This marked his largest fantasy points total of the 2025 season, vaulting him to the overall RB4 spot in PPR leagues. Managers should continue to deploy Gibbs as a high-end RB1 in fantasy football, including next week against the Philadelphia Eagles.

Los Angeles Chargers running back
Omarion Hampton (ankle) was not wearing a walking boot as he watched his teammates warm up ahead of Sunday's Week 10 contest against the Pittsburgh Steelers. The absence of a boot is a promising sign as Hampton inches closer to his return from injured reserve. The rookie has been sidelined since Week 5, leaving
Kimani Vidal as the team's lead running back. Once Hampton is healthy enough to return, he should reclaim the every-down role that he occupied prior to his injury. Before he's activated, though, he'd need to be designated to return and log a few promising practice sessions. As soon as he gets back onto the field, he'll rank as a solid RB1 for fantasy football.

San Francisco 49ers quarterback
Brock Purdy (toe) will "have a chance" to play in next week's contest against the Arizona Cardinals, head coach Kyle Shanahan told the media. The 25-year-old has been sidelined for most of this season, playing just two of the Niners' 10 games so far.
Mac Jones is playing above .500 in his absence, but he lost to the Rams on Sunday and now has six turnovers over his last four games. The return of Purdy should elevate the 49ers' offense while continuing to support strong fantasy outings from players like
Jauan Jennings,
George Kittle, and
Christian McCaffrey. Meanwhile, Purdy himself should rank as a low-end QB1 in fantasy football.
