Brevyn Spann-Ford Gains Fantasy Value as Role Expands
Dallas tight end Brevyn Spann-Ford is expected to take on a bigger role for the offense and that gives him a little more fantasy appeal. Jake Ferguson (knee) is expected to miss multiple weeks with an injury, so that opens the door for Spann-Ford to play and produce more. He already has 15 receptions for 130 yards across 20 targets this season. Spann-Ford has at least two receptions in four straight games, and he has two or more targets dating back five contests. With a chance at more snaps and production, he's got some deep-league fantasy appeal. He has a pretty average matchup coming against San Francisco in Week 10, and that's good enough to try him in some deeper leagues. Fantasy owners should want to see some improved production out of him before considering him in standard leagues.

Gunnar Helm Gaining Ground in Titans Passing Attack
Tennessee Titans tight end Gunnar Helm returns from the Week 9 bye following his best performance of the season. Helm caught five of nine targets for 76 yards against Cincinnati in Week 8, setting career highs in receptions, targets, and receiving yards. The second-year tight end had caught three passes for 24 yards against Cleveland the previous week after seeing little involvement earlier in October. His nine targets against the Bengals were particularly encouraging, as Tennessee leaned heavily on the passing game in its 43-36 loss. Helm has not scored a touchdown this season, and his recent production comes from a small sample. Still, his growing involvement gives fantasy managers a reason to watch him heading into Sunday's matchup against Jacksonville, especially in leagues where tight end options are limited.

Kyle Williams Seeing More Snaps in Patriots Offense
New England Patriots wide receiver Kyle Williams has seen a significant increase in playing time over the last two games. Williams played 83% of the offensive snaps against Miami in Week 8 and 78% against Green Bay in Week 9. He had played fewer than 40% in each of his previous seven games. The increased role hasn't produced consistent fantasy results, as Williams failed to catch either of his two targets in Sunday's 45-27 loss to the Packers. He caught a 43-yard touchdown against Miami the previous week, showing his ability to make plays downfield. Williams has just seven receptions this season, so the lack of targets remains a concern. Still, his growing snap share makes him a player to monitor in deeper fantasy leagues.

Stephan Jaeger Looking to Keep Strong Fall Run Going
Stephan Jaeger has been on a strong run during the fall golf season, recording his third straight finish of T26 or better last week at the World Wide Technology Championship. He now ranks 75th in total strokes gained (+0.282 per round), 83rd on approach (+0.107), 12th around the greens (+0.330), and 44th in putting (+0.226). The only area where he is losing strokes is off the tee, where he ranks 150th (-0.382), largely due to his 157th-ranked driving accuracy. He has gained strokes both around the green and on approach in his last two measurable events, and will need to continue playing well with his irons and short game to find himself in contention again at the Austin Championship. At $7,900 on DraftKings, he offers solid upside based on his recent play, but there is some risk that his driver could go awry once again.

Rico Dowdle a Rising Fantasy Asset After Past Two Showings
Pittsburgh running back Rico Dowdle is on the rise as a fantasy asset after what he's done over the past two games. In Week 7 against New Orleans, Dowdle went for 41 rushing yards on nine attempts, plus caught all six of his targets for 45 more yards. In Week 8 against Cleveland, Dowdle finished with 56 rushing yards and a score over 15 carries, while not being targeted in the passing game. He logged 28 offensive snaps in both games, which was over 40% of the team's total in each contest. Dowdle is trending up heading into Week 10, which offers him a pretty average fantasy matchup against Cincinnati. He didn't face the Bengals earlier this season, but has a pretty solid outlook based on what we've seen from him of late, so he can be started in deeper leagues and considered as a flex-level option in standard leagues.

Geno Smith Has Week 10 Streaming Appeal
New York Jets quarterback Geno Smith draws a Buffalo defense that allowed 15 passing touchdowns through its first seven games. Smith threw for 577 yards and five touchdowns against Miami and Las Vegas before struggling in last Sunday's loss to Kansas City. He finished with just 165 passing yards, playing without Garrett Wilson (concussion), who remains uncertain for Week 10. Buffalo has faced more than 38 pass attempts per game this season, giving Smith a chance to rebound if the Jets are forced to throw frequently. Wilson's availability will be important when evaluating Smith for Sunday's matchup. Available in most fantasy leagues, Smith is a potential one-week streaming option, especially if Wilson returns to the lineup.

Jaylen Warren Continues to Build on Strong Season
Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Warren enters Week 10 riding one of his most productive stretches of the season. Warren rushed for 143 yards and a touchdown on 17 carries against Cleveland before Pittsburgh's Week 9 bye. He also recorded 101 rushing yards against New Orleans in Week 7, giving him four 100-yard rushing performances in his last six games. Warren has handled at least 14 carries in six straight contests, maintaining a substantial workload despite sharing the backfield with Rico Dowdle. He has 704 rushing yards and 294 receiving yards through eight games, putting him close to 1,000 yards from scrimmage. The Steelers face Cincinnati in Week 10, a team Warren rushed for 127 yards against earlier this season. His production has firmly established him as a weekly fantasy starter.

Roman Wilson Worth Deep-League Stashes as He Nears Return
Pittsburgh wide receiver Roman Wilson is worth stashing in some deep fantasy leagues despite him currently being on the injured reserve list. He's eligible to come off that list on November 22, which is Week 11 against Philadelphia. Before landing on IR, Wilson caught 14 of his 25 targets for 188 yards and two touchdowns across five games played. He looked to be emerging after tallying 134 receiving yards and two touchdowns across Weeks 3 and 4, but then got injured in Week 5. That opened the door for Germie Bernard to step into a larger role, so Wilson will not have to fight for snaps and targets with him. Of course, Pittsburgh already has DK Metcalf too, and Michael Pittman Jr. (foot) is another wideout to possibly deal with when he's activated down the road. That leaves Wilson as a better deep-league fantasy option only for now, but his production could change his outlook.

Rico Hoey Looking to Put Together Another Strong Week at Austin Championship
Rico Hoey has put together an up-and-down season, recording 22 made cuts in 28 events, including seven finishes inside the top 25. He played well last week at the World Wide Technology Championship, posting rounds of 67-69-67-70, but a quadruple bogey on the 13th hole Sunday ruined his chances at a second top-10 finish of the year. He currently ranks 16th in strokes gained off the tee (+0.487 strokes per round), 87th on approach (+0.093), and 49th tee to green (+0.437). His short game has been a weak point, ranking 135th around the greens (-0.142) and 138th in putting (-0.281). Omni Barton Creek's Fazio Canyons Course measures over 7,400 yards and features wide fairways, so Hoey's 49th-ranked driving distance and impressive sixth-place ranking in proximity from over 200 yards (44'10") could give him an advantage. At $8,100 on DraftKings, he offers strong value for fantasy lineups.

De'Zhaun Stribling Worth Stashing in Deeper Leagues
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver De'Zhaun Stribling (ankle) remains on injured reserve following surgery. The second-round rookie out of Ole Miss impressed during training camp and earned a starting role before suffering the injury in Week 1. Head coach Kyle Shanahan hopes to have Stribling back in December, though he may need time to work his way into the offense. San Francisco has dealt with receiver injuries all season, which could create opportunities when Stribling returns. The rookie has yet to record an NFL reception, leaving plenty of uncertainty about his fantasy value down the stretch. Managers in deeper leagues can consider using an open IR spot on Stribling, but he's not worth holding on an active roster in most redraft formats.

Aaron Rodgers Offers Streaming Upside in Week 10 Matchup
Pittsburgh quarterback Aaron Rodgers carries some streaming appeal for his Week 10 matchup against Cincinnati. It's a pretty average matchup for a fantasy quarterback, but we've already seen this matchup once this season, and Rodgers delivered big in that contest. Back in Week 3, Rodgers completed 19 of his 34 passes for 292 yards and three touchdowns. He was picked off once, and he finished with a season-high 10 rushing yards on three attempts. He's completed just 60.8% of his passes on the season, but for 1,871 yards and 13 touchdowns - he has six interceptions, while rushing for 23 yards on 12 attempts. Rodgers has been a solid fantasy option this season. Coming off his bye week and going into a matchup he's already had success in, that makes Rodgers worth possibly streaming in any fantasy league setup.

Pierceson Coody Looking to Carry Momentum Into Austin Championship
Pierceson Coody put together an all-around solid tournament at the World Wide Technology Championship, posting rounds of 68-70-68-69 en route to a T33 finish. He has made 20 of 30 cuts this year, including 12 top-25 finishes, and looks to keep it going at the Austin Championship. Coody ranks 88th in total strokes gained (+0.198 strokes per round), 28th off the tee (+0.131), 97th on approach (+0.028), and 78th in putting (+0.066). He has been one of the longest hitters on Tour, ranking 14th in driving distance, which should benefit him on the 7,400-yard layout at Omni Barton Creek's Fazio Canyons Course, which features wide fairways. Coody has been solid lately and offers plenty of upside at $9,000 on DraftKings.

Evander Kane Signs With KHL Team
Left wing Evander Kane has taken his talents to the KHL for the rest of the season, signing a one-year contract with HC Sibir Novosibirsk. Despite a decent 31-point campaign with the Vancouver Canucks in 2025-26, Kane couldn't secure a new NHL deal this offseason. In total, he's played for five NHL franchises, posting 648 points (339 goals, 309 assists) in 1,001 career games. We may see Kane back in the NHL if he performs well in Russia. At 35, he should still have something left in the tank.

Kevin Coleman Jr. Facing Uphill Battle for Fantasy Relevance
Miami Dolphins rookie wide receiver Kevin Coleman Jr. has yet to establish himself as a fantasy-relevant option this season. In eight games, Coleman has caught eight of 21 passes for 82 yards and two touchdowns, and added 16 yards on one carry. Since Caleb Douglas returned from a three-game absence due to a high-ankle sprain, Coleman's snaps have decreased, and he has played just 19% of snaps over the last three games. Now, starting quarterback Malik Willis (groin) is being placed on injured reserve, which means backup Kyle McCord will start moving forward. The Dolphins' offense ranks 31st in passing yards this season. With the crowded receiving room, including Douglas, Malik Washington, and Chris Bell, and the team's struggles in the passing game, Coleman remains off the fantasy radar until proven otherwise.

Aiden Flora Remains Quality Fantasy Option for Week 11
Iowa State running back Aiden Flora sticks as a high-level fantasy starting option as he prepares for a matchup against Cincinnati in Week 11. He has 1,119 rushing yards and nine touchdowns over 157 carries this season, plus has 17 receptions for 100 yards. Flora has 403 rushing yards and three touchdowns over his past two games combined, so he's trending up. With 20 receiving yards last week, he went over 200 total yards in back-to-back games. Cincinnati is a favorable matchup, as the Bearcats are allowing 29.4 points and 445.3 total yards per game, and 169.3 of those yards are coming on the ground. Flora is primed for another big showing in Week 11, so fantasy owners should be confident starting him in a lot of leagues.
