The Cleveland Browns activated wide receiver
Cedric Tillman (hamstring) from Injured Reserve on Saturday, per Adam Schefter of ESPN. Tillman was able to practice in full every day this week and will make his return in Week 10 against the New York Jets after missing four weeks due to a hamstring injury. Tillman was productive over the first four games of the season, catching 11 of his 20 targets for 106 yards and two touchdowns. The 25-year-old wideout had a mini-breakout last season after the Browns traded away
Amari Cooper, catching 24 of 40 targets for 302 yards and three touchdowns in a four-game span before his season was cut short due to a concussion. Cleveland's offensive environment is not as favorable this season with
Dillon Gabriel at the helm, and while Tillman presents some upside, he shouldn't be in fantasy lineups for Week 10.

Cleveland Browns running back
Dylan Sampson has shown skills in the passing attack this season, most recently hauling in five of his six targets for 29 yards in a Week 8 loss to the New England Patriots. Sampson will now take on the New York Jets on the road in Week 10 after enjoying his bye in Week 9. The Jets have struggled against the run this season, allowing the eighth-most fantasy points per game to running backs thus far. That being said, Sampson is tough to trust in fantasy as the Browns have been relying heavily on
Quinshon Judkins in the rushing attack. Sampson will need to do his damage in the passing game to return fantasy value, something that is not a given in a game where the Browns are two-point road favorites against New York.

Cleveland Browns running back
Jerome Ford will come out of his bye to take on the New York Jets on the road in Week 10. Ford has been lightly used behind starter
Quinshon Judkins this season, seeing just 21 carries and 21 receptions over eight games. The veteran running back draws a plus matchup in theory against the Jets, who are allowing the eighth-most fantasy points per game to running backs. That said, Ford is unlikely to see a large enough workload to rack up fantasy points against New York. He remains a solid bench stash as a handcuff, but should not be in fantasy lineups heading into Week 10.

Arizona Cardinals running back
Emari Demercado led the team in rushing in their Week 9 win over the Dallas Cowboys, handling 14 carries for 79 yards. Demercado's role for Week 10, however, is still uncertain after head coach Jonathan Gannon has provided no insight whatsoever into their plans for how they will manage the backfield on Sunday in Seattle. Arizona's backfield has been a nightmare for fantasy managers to figure out recently, but Demercado provides some element of explosiveness and big-play ability that
Bam Knight and
Michael Carter don't offer. Knight has maintained the slight upper hand on snaps in recent weeks, while Carter has slid to the RB3 role. Demercado has the most juice as a receiver out of the backfield, which is an area that Seattle has struggled with this season, allowing the second-most receptions (48) to opposing running backs. It's tough to know for certain, but Knight and Demercado project to split most of the touches on Sunday, with Knight on early downs and Demercado on pass downs.

Arizona Cardinals quarterback
Jacoby Brissett is in line to make his fourth start of the season, with
Kyler Murray (foot) placed on Injured Reserve and his future with the team being in question. Brissett has provided a jolt for the Cardinals' offense since becoming the starter in Week 6, completing 65.8% of his passes for 860 yards, six touchdowns, and one interception while adding 14 carries for 49 yards and another score on the ground. The 32-year-old has averaged 22.8 fantasy points and ranks as QB10 during that span. Brissett has elevated the offense with his ability to work on time and in structure, with
Marvin Harrison Jr. recording a career high seven catches in their Week 9 win at the Dallas Cowboys and feeding star tight end
Trey McBride targets in the red zone, with him scoring four touchdowns in Brissett's three starts. Brissett faces a tough matchup in Week 10, as they face the division-leading Seattle Seahawks, who allow just a 5.4 net yards per pass attempt this season, the seventh-best mark in the league.

New Orleans Saints tight end
Juwan Johnson caught the only Saints touchdown in Week 9 against the Rams, finishing with three receptions for 31 yards on four targets. This marked his sixth game of the season with at least 50 receiving yards or a touchdown. The return of fellow tight ends
Taysom Hill and
Foster Moreau briefly lowered Johnson's stock, but he has bounced back with 13 receptions for 163 yards and a touchdown over his last three games. With
Rashid Shaheed traded at the deadline and the Saints lacking depth at the receiver position, Johnson should be in line for an uptick in targets. He ranks as a borderline TE1/TE2 against the Panthers in Week 10, who allow the 13th-most PPR points to tight ends.

San Francisco 49ers quarterback
Brock Purdy (toe) is getting a lot closer to returning, and the team is hopeful that he can start in Week 11 against the Arizona Cardinals, according to Jeremy Fowler of ESPN. The 49ers will decide before their matchup on Sunday against the Rams if Purdy will be active as the team's No. 2 quarterback behind
Mac Jones, a promising sign in his recovery. Purdy came back in Week 4 against the Jaguars, but ultimately made the turf toe injury worse and has since missed five consecutive games. The 25-year-old hasn't registered a full practice since Week 4, but it looks like he is getting close to returning as San Francisco's QB1. Jones has filled in admirably in Purdy's absence, but he will move back to being the backup quarterback once Purdy is ready to go.

November 8, 2025
New Orleans Saints wide receiver
Chris Olave caught three of four targets for 57 yards in the Week 9 loss to the Rams. The four targets marked a season low after he entered the week ranked second in the league in targets while
Spencer Rattler was under center. With rookie
Tyler Shough now at the helm, the two will need to develop chemistry quickly, especially after the Saints traded away
Rashid Shaheed, who led the team in targets during Shough's first start. Olave is averaging a career-low 10.2 yards per reception but a career-high 6.1 catches per game, showcasing his reliability as the clear No. 1 option in the passing game. His ceiling remains high, though quarterback uncertainty keeps him in the WR2 range for Week 10 against a tough Panthers defense that has allowed the sixth-fewest PPR points to wide receivers.

Atlanta Falcons tight end
Kyle Pitts Sr. is seeing consistent looks in this offense in 2025, averaging over six targets, five catches, and 47 yards per game this season. Unfortunately, it has yet to translate to touchdowns, as the 25-year-old has recorded just one score on the year. That could change this weekend, as Week 10 brings a matchup in Germany against the Colts. Indianapolis has allowed the fourth-most passing yards per game in the NFL over its last three games (268.7) and has allowed 24.5 points per game on the road (16.6 PPG at home). Not only that, they've yielded a touchdown pass to a tight end in four consecutive games now. With newly acquired CB Sauce Gardner set to cover
Drake London or another receiver, it could open things up more for Pitts, so the 6-foot-6 tight end projects as a top 10 option at the position this week.

Washington Commanders quarterback
Jayden Daniels (elbow) could potentially return after three weeks, though the timeline could end up being a five to six-week period depending on when his evaluation after the bye week in Week 12, according to Jeremy Fowler of ESPN. Daniels did not suffer any ligament damage and won't need surgery on his injured left elbow, and will avoid being placed on Injured Reserve. It was a gruesome-looking injury for the second-year quarterback during Washington's Week 9 loss to the Seahawks, but it looks like Daniels avoided a significant season-ending injury and could be back for the team's Week 13 matchup against the Broncos following their bye week. Washington's record could play into the decision on when and if he returns, but if he is back to full health, fantasy managers can expect Daniels to suit up and play. Veteran
Marcus Mariota will slide back in as the starter while Daniels is sidelined.
--Kyle McCarthySource: Jeremy Fowler
November 8, 2025
New Orleans Saints running back
Devin Neal logged three carries for 11 yards and caught his lone target for one yard in the Week 9 loss to the Rams. With
Alvin Kamara officially questionable due to an ankle injury ahead of Week 10, Neal could be in line for additional work. The rookie was a sixth-round pick after an impressive career at Kansas, where he set program records with 4,343 rushing yards and 49 touchdowns. However, he's seen limited action in the NFL, totalling just six carries for 21 yards and four receptions for 12 yards. Even if he draws the start against the Panthers, Neal should remain on waivers in most formats, though he could hold deep-league appeal if Kamara is sidelined.

Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said on Saturday that rookie wide receiver Matthew Golden (shoulder) is day-to-day and is "fighting to play," according to Weston Hodkiewicz of the Green Bay Packers. Golden left early during Green Bay's Week 9 loss to the Carolina Panthers and was listed as limited in practice on Thursday, but was downgraded to DNP on Friday. LaFleur said that they will see how the rookie first-rounder is feeling and that he needs to "be able to handle everything we're throwing at him." Golden has had an underwhelming season so far in a crowded Packers' pass-catching group, but he has looked dynamic on his limited targets. The rookie has caught 23 of his 29 targets for 262 yards and added eight carries for 45 yards in eight games, but is still searching for his first career touchdown. Golden may need a week to recover from the shoulder injury, with more updates on his status expected soon.

New Orleans Saints running back
Alvin Kamara is officially listed as questionable (ankle) for Sunday's game against the Panthers. In Week 9 against the Rams, he continued his season-long struggles, recording just four carries for 14 yards and one reception for four yards. Kamara is in the midst of the worst season of his career, posting lows in nearly every major category: 3.6 yards per carry, 41.9 rushing yards per game, 16.7 receiving yards per game, and 3.9 yards per touch. He also hasn't found the end zone since Week 1. Facing a Panthers defense that allows 110.8 rushing yards and 1.1 rushing touchdowns per game, Kamara is trending in the wrong direction and no longer offers a reliable fantasy floor. He's a low-end RB2, slipping closer to RB3 territory for the divisional matchup.

Atlanta Falcons quarterback
Michael Penix Jr. appears to be rounding into form after a slow, inconsistent start to the season, now with a touchdown pass in four straight games and a 7:1 TD:INT over that span. While that's a positive, the 25-year-old is completing just 60.8 percent of his passes, which is the fourth-lowest mark in the NFL, only slightly better than the likes of
Cam Ward (57.6 percent) and
Dillon Gabriel (59.9 percent), so he can be hard to trust for fantasy. Week 10 brings a road matchup against the Colts in Berlin, Germany, a defense that is middle of the pack in terms of fantasy points allowed to opposing QBs, and that has allowed the fourth-most passing YPG in the NFL over the last three games (268.7). Penix has a lower completion percentage on the road (56.1 percent), but Indianapolis has been more forgiving on the road, allowing 24.5 points per game on the road compared to 16.6 PPG at home. They'll also be without pass-rushing DT DeForest Buckner, which should give Penix a bit more time to throw, and as 6.5-point underdogs, that's likely what he'll have to do. Even so, the left-handed QB shapes up as a mid-range QB2 in Week 10.

New Orleans Saints quarterback
Tyler Shough went 15-for-24 for 176 yards, one touchdown, and one interception in his first career start against the Rams. He led the Saints on a 71-yard touchdown drive to close out the first half but otherwise struggled to sustain offense, with New Orleans holding the ball for just 16:07 compared to Los Angeles' 43:53. The Saints also traded receiver
Rashid Shaheed, Shough's most targeted player in the loss, to Seattle at the deadline. On the positive side, Shough wasn't afraid to air it out, connecting with both Shaheed and
Chris Olave on completions of over 25 yards. He'll look to rebound against the division-rival Carolina Panthers, who are allowing 205.8 passing yards per game, 15th in the league. Shough remains off fantasy radars for now.

Despite a difficult matchup with the Houston Texans,
Parker Washington seems like a solid flex starter this week. With Brian Thomas Jr. out of the lineup, Washington seems like the prime candidate to step up as the top target. The Jaguars did acquire
Jakobi Meyers via trade, but time will tell how quickly he gets acclimated. That all could mean plenty of targets for Washington, but efficiency is more of a question mark. The young receiver surprisingly had a season-high 11 targets earlier this season against the Texans, and is coming off 19 combined targets the last two weeks. The Jaguars offense may struggle, but it at least seems Washington will catch plenty of passes to have a solid fantasy day in Week 10.

The Houston Texans made calls to the New York Jets about running back
Breece Hall, according to Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle. The Texans were looking to make a big splash at the deadline with the Jets' star running back, but the asking price was ultimately too high for their liking. Hall was discussed in multiple trade rumors before the deadline, most commonly linked to the Kansas City Chiefs, but the Texans were apparently looking to make an upgrade to their running back room as well. Veteran
Nick Chubb and rookie
Woody Marks will continue to split reps in Houston's backfield moving forward, with neither presenting significant fantasy upside behind a poor offensive line.

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver
Dyami Brown (concussion) has been cleared to play, but remains a risky flex at best against the Houston Texans. With
Brian Thomas Jr. ruled out this week, Brown should get opportunities to make plays in Week 10. However, the Jaguars offense hasn’t been the best this season, and the Texans defense has been stout, especially against the pass. That means it will likely be tough for the Jaguars offense as whole to move the ball well, reducing Brown’s upside. That is especially true with recent acquisition Jakobi Meyers potentially heavily involved moving forward. If fantasy managers are in need of a waiver-wire flex play, they can do worse than Brown, but in a tough matchup, the upside seemingly isn’t there.
--Seth Quinn - RotoBaller
November 8, 2025
Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver
Jakobi Meyers will look to get involved in the offense in Week 10, his first week with the team. With
Brian Thomas Jr. out, Meyers has a chance to prove to the team they made the right call in acquiring him. Last week, it was Parker Washington who stepped up with 8 catches for 90 yards. However, the Texans pass defense is one of the best in the NFL, so it may be difficult for the whole offense to step up. That makes Meyers a risky start. Meyers has a chance to be the top target this week which raises his upside, but being on a new team with a tough matchup makes it hard to predict how he will do in Week 10.
--Seth Quinn - RotoBaller
November 8, 2025
Jacksonville Jaguars running back
Travis Etienne Jr. has been a solid fantasy starter this season, which should continue in Week 10. The Houston Texans serve as a somewhat difficult matchup, but are more difficult for passing offenses than rushing offenses. With quite a few receiving options banged heading into this week, the Jaguars could decide to lean on the run game more. Etienne Jr. is coming off a 22 carry, five reception game with 115 total yards against the Las Vegas Raiders. That potential volume gives the Clemson product a solid fantasy floor. Fantasy managers should feel fine starting Etienne Jr. in one of their RB slots against the Texans in Week 10.
--Seth Quinn - RotoBaller
November 8, 2025
Jacksonville Jaguars running back
Bhayshul Tuten has a small chance to be more involved, but is still a risky start in Week 10. The receiving core for the Jaguars is currently banged up, which led them to rely on the run game more last week. That led Tuten to get 10 total touches and find the end zone, but he only produced 28 total yards. The rookie should be involved again against a top defense that’s especially strong against the pass, making him seem like a potentially decent option. However, the floor is very low given his backup status to
Travis Etienne Jr. He should be involved in the game plan, but Tuten is still better left on benches in Week 10.

Buffalo Bills running back
James Cook has been removed from the injury report and will play Sunday against the Miami Dolphins, presumably without any limitations. This is great news for Cook and his fantasy managers, as a matchup against the Dolphins provides an enormous opportunity for the 26-year-old to rack up fantasy points. Miami has been miserable against the run this year, surrendering the third-most rushing yards and fifth-most fantasy points to opposing running backs in 2025. Cook is the overall RB7 in PPR leagues so far with 867 rushing yards, 100 receiving yards, and seven touchdowns. In his last outing against Miami, he accrued 118 scrimmage yards and one touchdown. Fantasy managers should have full confidence deploying Cook as a mid-to-high RB1 this week.

The Jacksonville Jaguars defense/special teams unit has a plus matchup in Week 10 against the Houston Texans. The Houston offense has been inconsistent this season, but with Davis Mills starting at QB, things may get even more difficult for them. That is great news for the Jaguars, who currently sit third in the NFL in takeaways. The only menacing threat to the Jaguars defense is Nico Collins, so as long as they can corral him, they should be in line for multiple sacks and turnovers. Fantasy managers should be starting the Jaguars D/ST unit with confidence in Week 10.
--Seth Quinn - RotoBaller
November 8, 2025
The Carolina Panthers D/ST should be started in most fantasy leagues ahead of their Week 10 matchup against the New Orleans Saints. While the Panthers' defense has ranked below league-average in terms of fantasy production through the first nine weeks of the season, they're a must-start unit with a great opportunity to get right against the Saints on Sunday. New Orleans has allowed the second-most fantasy points to opposing D/ST units, and
Tyler Shough threw an interception with just 176 passing yards last week. Meanwhile, Carolina has momentum of its own, allowing just 13 points and forcing two turnovers in an impressive win over the Green Bay Packers last week. Managers should start the Panthers D/ST with confidence this week, even if it means picking them up off the waiver wire. After all, the unit ranks #3 in RotoBaller's Week 10 D/ST rankings for fantasy football.

Chicago Bears wide receiver
Olamide Zaccheaus is coming off his best game of the season, catching six of eight targets for 58 yards and a touchdown in the 47-42 win over Cincinnati. His expanded role came with
Cole Kmet and
Luther Burden III sidelined, but both are expected to return in Week 10 against the Giants. With Chicago's receiving corps back to full strength (plus 25 mph winds likely limiting the passing game), Zaccheaus is set to move back into a secondary role. Even with a favorable matchup, he should not be in fantasy lineups this week.

Washington Commanders running back
Jeremy McNichols has maintained a consistent role as the team's most trusted option on pass downs. McNichols has totaled 17 carries for 143 yards and a touchdown to go with 12 catches on 17 targets for 129 yards in nine games this season. The 29-year-old led Washington in receiving in their Week 8 loss at Kansas, catching five of his six targets for 64 yards, the second most in a game of his career. That was also his highest snap share in a game this season at 43.4%, but he's mostly been limited to late down responsibilities while rookie
Jacory Croskey-Merritt and
Chris Rodriguez Jr. handle the early down carries. In a Week 10 matchup where Washington is a sizable home underdog against the Lions, McNichols could be on the field more often in a negative game script. McNichols has some sneaky PPR value in deeper leagues on Sunday.

Jacksonville Jaguars kicker
Cam Little’s stock is on the rise after nailing an NFL-record 68-yard field goal last week. However, with the Jaguars offense banged up, his long distance ability may not translate into enough opportunities for a big fantasy day. The Jaguars will be without
Brian Thomas Jr., so it will be even harder for them to move the ball against what is already a tough matchup to start with. In their previous matchup with the Texans this season, the Jaguars scored just 17 points with more healthy weapons, so it’s hard to see the upside with Little this week. However, he still should be viewed as a solid option given his big leg and solid floor this season. Little should be considered a low end starting kicker in Week 10.
--Seth Quinn - RotoBaller
November 8, 2025
Carolina Panthers wide receiver
Tetairoa McMillan (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Week 10 against the New Orleans Saints, and head coach Dave Canales acknowledged that he's concerned about the rookie's status. However, if McMillan does suit up on Sunday, he'll rank as a low-end WR2 and should be started in all fantasy leagues. The 22-year-old has found plenty of success in his first pro season, catching 41 passes for 558 yards and two touchdowns while ranking as the overall WR21 in PPR leagues. He's a high-volume target in an offense that passes the ball a decent amount; he had both a 100-yard game and a multi-touchdown game within the first six weeks of his NFL debut. McMillan is a strong WR2 option for the rest of the season, but as long as he's on the injury report, managers will need to confirm his availability 90 minutes before kickoff.
--Andersen PickardSource: RotoBaller
November 8, 2025
Chicago Bears kicker
Cairo Santos has been inconsistent this season, converting just 78% of his field goal attempts. He's seen plenty of recent volume, with him averaging 3.7 field goal attempts over his last three games. This season, Santos ranks as the No. 11 kicker in fantasy scoring on a per-game basis. However, Week 10 sets up poorly. With 25 mph winds and mid-30s temperatures expected in Chicago, kicking conditions will be difficult. Combine that with Ben Johnson's aggressive fourth-down tendencies, and Santos' opportunities could be limited. Fantasy managers should look elsewhere at kicker this week.
--Nathan HarveySource: Pro Football Reference
November 8, 2025
Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback
Trevor Lawrence may have a tough time in Week 10. The Jaguars face the Houston Texans, who have one of the top defenses in the NFL, and are especially strong against the pass. Combining that with a banged up receiving core, and you’ve got a recipe for a tough outing. However, Lawrence has shown capable of producing big fantasy games in tough matchups after a great rushing performance against the Kansas City Chiefs. He also rushed for two touchdowns last week, which could be a good way to still produce fantasy points in a tough situation this week. That makes Lawrence a capable starter in bigger leagues and superflex leagues in Week 10.
