Week 10 Fantasy Football Outlooks
Below are some fantasy football outlooks written by our NFL team here at RotoBaller, bringing you their fantasy football analysis and advice on which players to consider starting in Week 10:
Kyle McCord, Miami Dolphins
Miami Dolphins backup quarterback Kyle McCord is in line to start his team's Week 10 matchup against the Buffalo Bills following the team's placement of QB1 Malik Willis (groin) on Injured Reserve, per Sal Capaccio of WGR 550. A sixth-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft by the Philadelphia Eagles, McCord has yet to appear in an NFL game.
He spent the 2025 season on the Eagles' practice squad before being signed by the Green Bay Packers in January and then being traded to Miami right before the start of the 2026 season. McCord has a favorable matchup in what will likely be his first NFL start in Week 10 against the Indianapolis Colts, which could give him some waiver wire appeal in two-QB fantasy formats. Still, the 24-year-old is extremely unproven, and he doesn't have an amazing supporting cast of weapons around him with the Dolphins.
Geno Smith, New York Jets
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.
Kirk Cousins, Minnesota Vikings
The Las Vegas Raiders are trading four-time Pro Bowl quarterback Kirk Cousins to the Minnesota Vikings on Tuesday for their 2027 third-round pick, sources told Tom Pelissero of The Ringer. Cousins will now return to Minnesota for their playoff push, while the Raiders will now turn to No. 1 overall pick Fernando Mendoza for the rest of the 2026 season and beyond. Kyler Murray (hamstring) is sidelined with a Grade 2 hamstring strain, and veteran Carson Wentz looked awful in Monday night's loss to the Buffalo Bills, so the Vikings are turning to a man they know very well to help their offense turn things around.
The 38-year-old Cousins was performing admirably for the Raiders up until his three-interception performance in the loss to the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday. Going into Week 10, Cousins ranks as the overall QB5 with 2,340 passing yards, 20 touchdowns, and eight interceptions in nine starts.
Only Joe Burrow has thrown more TD passes than him. In Minnesota, Cousins will have QB1 upside in the right matchups, with Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison as his top two receivers in a familiar environment. The acquisition of Cousins should also be great news for Jefferson, whose value had tanked with Murray and Wentz under center in Minnesota.
Aaron Rodgers, Pittsburgh Steelers
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.
C.J. Stroud, Houston Texans
Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud completed 21 of his 35 pass attempts for 384 passing yards, five passing touchdowns, and one interception during Sunday's Week 9 win over the Los Angeles Chargers. He also rushed for 20 yards. Stroud had one of the best games of his career against a Chargers squad that dropped to 0-8 in 2026. The 25-year-old has quietly put together a dominant five-game stretch in which he has 14 total touchdowns and just two turnovers.
He has been a very polished passer in general this year, totaling 16 passing touchdowns and just two interceptions since the start of the season. Stroud has momentum on his side, and he should be deployed as a low-end QB1 with additional upside in most fantasy leagues ahead of his Week 10 matchup against the Cleveland Browns.
