In two games since returning from the ACL tear that ended his 2024 season, Green Bay Packers wide receiver
Christian Watson (knee) has recorded six catches for 143 yards on eight targets. Watson was listed as a limited practice participant on Thursday, but he's expected to play in his team's Week 10 matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday Night Football. The 26-year-old has looked as explosive as ever so far in 2025, averaging 23.8 yards per reception. Consistent target volume has always been an issue for Watson, but there are some reasons to believe he could see an expanded role in Week 10. Green Bay lost star tight end
Tucker Kraft (knee) to a season-ending ACL tear in Week 9, and wide receivers
Savion Williams (foot),
Matthew Golden (shoulder), and
Dontayvion Wicks (calf) were all on Thursday's injury report. Watson also played 66% of the Packers' offensive snaps in Week 9, up from 56% in Week 8. Heading into Week 10, Watson profiles as a high-end WR4/flex option for fantasy managers.

Detroit Lions wide receiver
Jameson Williams has spent most of the 2025 season looking like a fantasy bust, as he's recorded just 21 catches for 355 yards and three touchdowns on 36 targets across eight games. However, Williams has recorded at least six targets, 66 receiving yards, and a touchdown in two out of his last three outings. The 24-year-old remains the ultimate high-ceiling, low-floor player. Sandwiched in between impressive outings in Week 6 and Week 9 is a zero-catch performance in Week 7. Still, Week 10 against the Washington Commanders looks like it could be a boom matchup for Williams. The Commanders are allowing the most yards per reception (13.1) in the NFL so far this season and will enter Week 10 with multiple key injuries in their secondary. Williams profiles as a solid WR3 option for fantasy managers this week against Washington.

New England Patriots wide receiver
DeMario Douglas has had an underwhelming season to this point, recording 18 catches for 262 yards and three touchdowns on 30 targets across nine games. However, Douglas had his best game of the season in Week 9, hauling in four catches for 100 yards and a score on six targets. The 24-year-old could see an expanded role once again in Week 10 against the Atlanta Falcons, as Patriots wideout
Kayshon Boutte (hamstring) has yet to practice this week as he battles a hamstring injury that forced him to exit early in Week 9. New England utilizes Douglas almost exclusively from the slot, which does limit his opportunities to see the field. Still, he profiles as a high-end WR4/flex option for fantasy managers in Week 10.

With the news that Arizona Cardinals quarterback
Kyler Murray (foot) will miss at least four more games after being placed on Injured Reserve, veteran signal-caller
Jacoby Brissett should have an extended runway as the team's starter. Since being inserted under center for Arizona in Week 6, the 32-year-old has thrown for 860 yards, six touchdowns, and one interception across three games played. Brissett seems to have given the Cardinals' offense new life, as the team is averaging 25.7 points per game in his starts after averaging 20.6 points per contest with Murray under center. Brissett profiles as a mid-tier fantasy QB2 in a tough Week 10 matchup against the Seattle Seahawks. However, Arizona's schedule lightens up a bit after Week 10. If Brissett keeps performing the way he has so far this season, he should provide fantasy managers in two-quarterback formats with consistent starter-level play.

NFL reporter for the Houston Texans, Aaron Wilson, reported on Friday that the Texans will turn to
Matthew Wright as their kicker in Week 10 as
Ka'imi Fairbairn (quadriceps) is injured and not able to go against their division opponent, the Jacksonville Jaguars. Wright has kicked for multiple NFL teams and was last with the Washington Commanders. He has made 56 of 65 career kicks and 43 of 45 extra points. He has also kicked for the Tennessee Titans, Kansas City Chiefs, San Francisco 49ers, Carolina Panthers, Pittsburgh Steelers, and the Jaguars, Wilson reports. This is a big matchup for the Texans, as a loss will send them further to the bottom of the AFC South standings. The Texans sit at (3-5), while the Jaguars are at (5-3), and both are looking up at the division leaders, the Indianapolis Colts, at (7-2). A win here for the Texans could continue to give them hope down the stretch and help them make a run with a big division win. The Jaguars have allowed the second-fewest points to opposing kickers, making Wright a challenging play in Week 10.

Jordan Raanan, NFL Nation reporter for ESPN who covers the New York Giants, reported that
Jameis Winston may be the third-string quarterback, but he didn't want to go anywhere at the trade deadline. The plan is for him to be the New York Giants' backup to
Jaxson Dart next season. Winston has been floated as a potential trade target for teams in need of a starting quarterback, given his long-standing pedigree and NFL tenure, starting in 87 total games throughout his career. However, Winston is content in New York and wants to stay with them next season to back up young rookie star Jaxson Dart. This would be a move that would be advantageous for the Giants, considering we have seen second-year (Sophomore Slumps) from quarterbacks in the past. Think CJ Stroud of the Houston Texans in 2024. While it's all speculation, it will give the Giants peace of mind knowing their backup quarterback can still sling the ball. Winston has thrown for 24,225 yards, 154 passing touchdowns, and 111 interceptions.

According to NFL Insider Ian Rapoport, Washington Commanders quarterback
Jayden Daniels' MRI and medical opinions revealed positive news, as his dislocated left elbow is not as severe as initially anticipated. There was no ligament damage & he won't need surgery, and Daniels will not be immediately placed on Injured Reserve. What a sigh of relief that is for Daniel's long-term outlook and dynasty fantasy managers. Based on initial reports, this was a gruesome on-field injury where medical experts were working to stabilize his arm. While it's too quick to jump to conclusions that he will potentially be back in the 2025 season, Commanders fans and dynasty managers can feel some peace knowing there wasn't any ligament damage or what appears to be an extended absence beyond next season.
Marcus Mariota will be under center while Daniels is sidelined, and most pass-catchers such as
Terry McLaurin (quad),
Deebo Samuel Sr., and
Zach Ertz will likely see a dip in their production without Daniels running the offense.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver
Jayden Reed (collarbone, foot) has been on Injured Reserve since suffering a broken collarbone in Week 2. Reed also underwent foot surgery, so he's recovering from multiple injuries, but might be nearing a return in the next few weeks. This week, he has been spotted on the practice field with no pads, working alongside the wide receivers. From a fantasy perspective, the Packers' expansive receiver room is somewhat clustered, as there is no transparent alpha.
Romeo Doubs has led the pack with a 20.8% target share,
Matthew Golden with an 11.8% target share,
Christian Watson with a 10.8% target share, and even
Tucker Kraft (knee), who is done for the year but was breaking out in a big way, was only seeing a 16.8% target share. This pass-catching room is a messy one that will be hard to predict, and throwing Reed back into the mix in a few weeks will only make it more difficult. Reed recorded 55 catches for 857 yards and six touchdowns on 75 targets in 2024. For now, fantasy managers can continue to hold him on their IR, but temper expectations around his return, considering his return is projected to be a week or two before the fantasy playoffs start.

Arizona Cardinals' second-year running back out of Florida State,
Trey Benson (knee), missed yet another opportunity to practice on Thursday after it was reported on Wednesday by Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic that head coach Jonathan Gannon did not make it sound likely that he would return from Injured Reserve to play in Week 10 against the division-rival Seattle Seahawks. This is tough news for fantasy managers who were hoping to get him activated after the four-game minimum from the IR stint. Benson remains a top IR stash for the time being, as they likely will give him the RB1 duties upon his return. Arizona will continue to mix and match in their backfield with
Bam Knight,
Emari Demercado, and
Michael Carter. Right now, Demercado and Knight have some RB3 value while Carter is likely the odd man out based on recent usage.

Las Vegas Raiders tight end
Brock Bowers caught just one of his three targets for 31 yards during Thursday's Week 10 loss against the Denver Broncos. Just a few days removed from a spectacular three-touchdown performance, Bowers came tumbling back down to earth with the first one-catch outing of his young career. On a positive note, this week's dud was likely an anomaly, and he should bounce back in Week 11 against the Dallas Cowboys. However, that doesn't negate the fact that Bowers massively underperformed his fantasy projection this week. Managers who started Bowers are likely to enter their Week 10 matchups with an early deficit.

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver
Tre Tucker caught two of his three targets for 28 yards during Thursday's Week 10 loss against the Denver Broncos. He also had a seven-yard rush in the defeat. Tucker played 100 percent of the offensive snaps, taking on a large workload after the Raiders traded away wide receiver
Jakobi Meyers. Despite the increased usage, Tucker was still out-produced in the receiving game by
Tyler Lockett (five catches, 44 yards) and
Brock Bowers (one catch, 31 yards). The 24-year-old ranks outside the top 36 fantasy receivers heading into Week 11 against the Dallas Cowboys.

Las Vegas Raiders quarterback
Geno Smith (quad) was diagnosed with a quad contusion following Thursday's Week 10 loss against the Denver Broncos, head coach Pete Carroll told members of the media, including NFL.com's Ian Rapoport. Smith briefly exited the game early in the fourth quarter and was replaced by
Kenny Pickett, who attempted one pass. The veteran quarterback returned to the game, then left again with a "questionable" designation in the final minutes. Las Vegas did not get the ball back, and it's unclear whether Smith or Pickett would have earned snaps if the Raiders' offense returned to the field. The 35-year-old completed 16 of 26 passes for 143 yards and his league-leading 12th interception of the season. He also took six sacks. It remains to be seen whether Smith will play in Week 11. On a positive note, playing on Thursday night gives him a full 11 days to rest and recover before the Raiders return to action against Dallas.

Denver Broncos wide receiver
Pat Bryant saw two targets during Thursday's loss to the Las Vegas Raiders. He finished with one catch -- a 43-yard reception -- and was the Broncos' receiving yards leader in an underwhelming performance from the passing game. Bryant now has five catches, 103 yards, and one touchdown over his last three games. He has maintained very steady involvement in the offensive attack, logging around 50 percent of the offensive snaps in each of the last six weeks. The rookie out of Illinois doesn't have standalone fantasy value quite yet, but he is one step closer to establishing himself as the full-time No. 3 receiver behind
Courtland Sutton and
Troy Franklin. If
Marvin Mims Jr. (concussion) continues to miss time, Bryant will see more meaningful involvement.

November 7, 2025
Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver
Tyler Lockett caught five of his six targets for 44 yards during Thursday's Week 10 loss against the Denver Broncos. The veteran receiver made his Raiders debut last week, but he saw just one target in that game, so Thursday's outing represented a major increase in volume for the veteran wideout. Lockett established himself as quarterback
Geno Smith's favorite target after the Raiders traded
Jakobi Meyers to the Jaguars. While Lockett doesn't represent a long-term receiving threat in Las Vegas' rebuild, he still has redraft appeal as a low-end WR3/flex, especially given his connection to Smith and head coach Pete Carroll from their time together in Seattle.

Las Vegas Raiders running back
Ashton Jeanty had 19 carries for 60 rushing yards and a touchdown during Thursday's Week 10 loss against the Denver Broncos. He also caught three of his five targets for an additional three receiving yards. The rookie was relatively inefficient on the ground and through the air, but managers should be intrigued by his high-volume role and touchdown despite the loss. He played 87 percent of the offensive snaps on Thursday Night Football, maintaining a significant workload in a slightly negative game script scenario. He should continue to be viewed as a fringe top-12 fantasy running back.
