Gets a boost if Denzel Boston doesn't play Sunday against the Texans, positioning him as a secondary receiving option.

Returned to practice Friday after toe injury; has been banged up for a few weeks without any workload decrease, and sounds on track to play Sunday against the Texans.

Cleared the injury report Friday after knee injury, removing uncertainty around his availability and positioning him to share carries with David Montgomery if Montgomery is active.

Was a full practice participant Friday and may be able to play for the first time since Week 5 after groin injury. However, Woody Marks cleared the injury report, so Montgomery will be in a timeshare if active.

Returned to practice Wednesday and upgraded to full participation Friday after hamstring injury; said Friday he wants to play. Activation from IR deadline is 4:00 p.m. ET Saturday, so status will be known by then.

Third-string RB listed as questionable with hamstring injury; if both Walker and Ott are unavailable, Nate Carter may be called up from the practice squad.

Would rank as a low-to-mid RB1 in Kenneth Walker's absence, positioning him as a significant backup option if Walker is unavailable Sunday against Atlanta.

Ferguson's absence for the 49ers game significantly impacts the Cowboys' offensive strategy. Without him, the source states the Cowboys 'are going to have an incredibly difficult time doing is persuading the 49ers defense out of loading the box,' as Ferguson provides a critical middle-of-the-field threat that can attack stacked defensive looks. His absence removes a key tool for attacking the 49ers' coverage scheme, particularly against Fred Warner's freakish coverage ability.

The source identifies Pickens as a potential offensive weapon the Cowboys should target more frequently on early downs against the 49ers, not just in third-down situations. The phrasing 'hopefully George Pickens' suggests the source views increased Pickens usage as a strategic opportunity to diversify the passing attack and reduce reliance on Prescott's clutch performance.

The source recommends the Cowboys increase Lamb's usage beyond third-down situations, arguing that 'the Cowboys embracing what they do best by throwing the ball to CeeDee Lamb' on early downs is the best path to offensive success against the 49ers. This reflects a strategic opportunity to leverage Lamb's strengths more consistently throughout drives rather than concentrating his targets in obvious passing situations.

Prescott is carrying the Cowboys offense almost entirely; the source notes that two of three touchdown drives last week came in two-minute situations (before halftime and end of game), indicating the offense relies on Prescott's clutch performance rather than sustained early-down execution. The source argues Prescott 'should be getting way more help than he is from all directions' and that the Cowboys need 'much more than just Prescott to be at their absolute best' against the 49ers, highlighting his outsized burden and lack of supporting offensive execution.

CJ Daniels is about to get more opportunities, according to #Rams HC Sean McVay OC Nate Scheelhaase is fired up about Daniels stepping up into this role Daniels’ prop line opened at 7.5 receiving yards [Retweeted](

Andy Reid on Josh Downs' first week with the Chiefs: "I thought he did a nice job of what we asked him to do. He's a smart kid & he knows how to play. ... He worked into the things we asked him to do & I think he's ready to play in a game for us." [Retweeted](

Kraft is part of the dangerous Packers receiving trio alongside Christian Watson and Matthew Golden. The trio had a field day against the Vikings in Week 1, mostly in the first half before the Vikings' defense woke up. With Jordan Love leading the NFL in passing yards per game, Kraft benefits from elite passing production and should be a key part of the Packers' aerial attack in the rematch.

Golden is part of the dangerous Packers receiving trio alongside Christian Watson and Tucker Kraft. The trio had a field day against the Vikings in Week 1, mostly in the first half before the Vikings' defense woke up. With Jordan Love leading the NFL in passing yards per game, Golden benefits from elite passing production and should be a key part of the Packers' aerial attack in the rematch.

Watson is part of the dangerous Packers receiving trio alongside Matthew Golden and Tucker Kraft. The trio had a field day against the Vikings in Week 1, mostly in the first half before the Vikings' defense woke up. With Jordan Love leading the NFL in passing yards per game, Watson benefits from elite passing production and should be a key part of the Packers' aerial attack in the rematch.

Quarterback Jordan Love has the Packers offense leading the NFL in passing yards per game. This elite passing production has translated into strong showings for the dangerous receiving trio of Christian Watson, Matthew Golden, and Tucker Kraft. Love and the Packers' aerial attack are described as incredibly dangerous, even against a stellar Vikings pass defense.

Hockenson is back as a primary receiving target for Kirk Cousins after Cousins' return to the Vikings, conditional on playing. The source emphasizes that with Cousins throwing to Justin Jefferson, Jordan Addison, and T.J. Hockenson, the Vikings have elite receiving weapons. The source specifically highlights Cousins-to-Hockenson highlights as part of the expected offensive improvement heading into December.

Addison is back as a primary receiving target for Kirk Cousins after Cousins' return to the Vikings. The source emphasizes that with Cousins throwing to Justin Jefferson, Jordan Addison, and T.J. Hockenson, the Vikings have elite receiving weapons. The source specifically highlights Cousins-to-Addison highlights as part of the expected offensive improvement heading into December.

Jefferson is back as a primary receiving target for Kirk Cousins after Cousins' return to the Vikings. The source emphasizes that with Cousins throwing to Jefferson, Jordan Addison, and T.J. Hockenson, the Vikings have elite receiving weapons that should elevate the offense. The source specifically highlights Cousins-to-Jefferson highlights as part of the expected offensive improvement heading into December.

The source cautions against expecting Cousins to come in seamlessly and pick up where he left off in 2023. It may take a game or two to get back into rhythm with the offense and receivers, regardless of previous experience. However, this does not mean the Vikings won't win on Sunday; the focus is on ensuring the offense hits its stride heading into December and a potential playoff run.

Cousins returns to the Vikings to throw to Justin Jefferson, Jordan Addison, and T.J. Hockenson again after his stint with the Raiders. The source argues that with Cousins' performance level (2nd in passing TDs, 5th in yards, 9th in EPA per dropback) and Brian Flores' elite defense (1st in points allowed, 2nd in yards allowed), the Vikings would be 8-0 if not for their previous offensive struggles. The expectation is that Cousins needs only to be good; the defense provides insurance.

Through nine games as the Raiders' starter, Cousins was on pace for 38 TD passes and would fall just short of his 2022 passing yardage (4,547). He ranks 2nd in passing TDs, 5th in yards, and 9th in EPA per dropback this season. His performance has been a pleasant surprise given the Raiders' weak offensive weapons compared to the 1999 Rams. Returning to the Vikings with Justin Jefferson, Jordan Addison, and T.J. Hockenson gives him elite receiving weapons he lacked in Las Vegas.

Njoku logged his second consecutive day as a limited participant, continuing his path back to the field and showing progression in his return from injury.

Harris improved from a limited participant to a full participant on Thursday, showing positive progression in his return to availability for Week 10.

Thompson remains unable to practice despite having already missed the previous six games, with no participation for the second consecutive day heading into Week 10.

McConkey continues to deal with back spasms that kept him out of last week's loss to the Texans and did not take the field for the second consecutive practice, limiting his availability heading into Week 10 against Baltimore.

Kirk Cousins exceeded expectations as the Raiders' starting quarterback, leading the team to a 4-5 record and keeping them in the playoff mix at the halfway point of the season before being traded to the Minnesota Vikings for a third-round pick to make way for rookie Fernando Mendoza.

Brock Bowers is positioned as a unique offensive weapon and security blanket for rookie quarterback Fernando Mendoza in his first NFL start. The source emphasizes Bowers' ability to bail out quarterbacks in difficult situations, particularly valuable given the challenging defensive scheme Mendoza will face against Seattle's top-ranked defense.

The 2025 Heisman Trophy winner and No. 1 pick is making his official NFL debut as the Raiders' starting quarterback in Week 10 against Seattle after the team traded Kirk Cousins to the Vikings. The source notes Mendoza will have coaching support from offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak, who worked for Seahawks defensive coordinator Mike Macdonald last year, and will benefit from offensive weapons including Brock Bowers and check-down options in Michael Mayer and Ashton Jeanty to help him navigate a top-tier defense.

DeMario Douglas over the last 5 weeks: 29 targets 22 receptions 352 yards 4 TDs Fantasy WR9

Travis Etienne said the week of practice went well for him and he definitely hopes to be active on Sunday, but that it’s ultimately up to the medical staff/coaches. Worth noting that this is an Etienne family matchup. His brother, Trevor, plays for the Panthers. #Saints [Retweeted](

Even if Ladd McConkey is back soon the chance that back spasms bother him mid-game in a lost season make him close to a drop for me

Ladd McConkey (back) doesn’t practice again Friday.

Running back carries questionable designation with ankle injury; with Josh Jacobs ruled out, Brooks may be expected to have an expanded role if he's able to play Sunday.

Running back ruled out for Packers-Vikings matchup with finger injury; absence expected to increase role for Chris Brooks if he can play.

Wide receiver added to injury report Friday with thumb injury and carries questionable designation; source hopes he will be able to play Sunday.

Wide receiver ruled out for Vikings-Packers with calf injury.

Quarterback ruled out for Vikings-Packers matchup with hamstring injury.

Tight end ruled out for Vikings-Packers matchup with wrist/chest injury; absence will make Kirk Cousins' debut more challenging.

Bowers is used as a defensive comparison point for how opposing defenses should approach Smith-Njigba. The source notes that the Raiders' defensive approach to JSN should be similar to what defenses do when matching up with Las Vegas tight end Brock Bowers—bracket and make other pass catchers beat you.

Smith-Njigba has expanded his effectiveness by deploying in both slot and outside alignments; the 20th pick in the 2023 NFL Draft was a strong slot receiver upon arrival but is now spending more time as a perimeter option. This dual-alignment capability has made him significantly more dangerous as a weapon in the Seahawks offense, forcing opposing defenses to account for him across multiple positions.

Smith-Njigba's lowest output of the season came in Week 9 against Arizona (10 targets, 7 receptions, 51 yards, 0 TDs), when the Cardinals deployed zone-heavy, two-high safety looks that bracketed him over the top and forced him into shorter underneath routes. The Raiders are studying this defensive approach and plan to employ similar zone-heavy coverage to mitigate his deep and intermediate route damage, where he does most of his work.

Smith-Njigba leads the NFL with 71 receptions for 1,036 yards and 9 touchdowns through 9 games; described as arguably the best wideout in the NFL. He has been limited to under 100 receiving yards in only 2 of 9 games this season, demonstrating elite consistency. Defensive coordinator Rob Leonard acknowledges he presents a supreme challenge across all categories—early down, third down, and red zone—requiring a full collective effort to limit.

St. Brown's German descent makes the Lions a perfect match for Sunday's game in Munich vs. the Patriots, positioning him as a centerpiece in a special homecoming game.

Travis Kelce caught 7 receptions for 74 yards and 1 touchdown in the Madden simulation, including a 16-yard gain to move the Chiefs to midfield in the fourth quarter and a red-zone touchdown reception to bring Kansas City closer in the final moments. He was heavily targeted late in the game during the Chiefs' comeback attempt.

Jalen Royals had a strong performance in the Madden simulation with 6 receptions for 82 yards and 1 touchdown. He caught a fly route touchdown from Mahomes on third-and-five to bring the Chiefs within one score in the fourth quarter, and added a 17-yard deep crossing route to move the team to the 9-yard line.

Rashee Rice caught 6 receptions for 41 yards in the Madden simulation, including a third-and-three comeback route to move the chains in the second quarter. However, he was also targeted on a crossing route in the third quarter when Xavier Watts intercepted Mahomes' high throw intended for Rice.

Josh Downs, newly acquired by the Chiefs, made an immediate impact in the Madden simulation with 6 receptions for 84 yards. He caught a 12-yard gain on third-and-10 to move the chains, an 18-yard deep out route to reach the Falcons' 25-yard line, and a 26-yard out route in the fourth quarter, demonstrating strong chemistry with Mahomes.

Patrick Mahomes completed 29 of 39 passes for 293 yards, 2 touchdowns, and 1 interception while adding 1 rushing attempt for 7 yards in the Madden simulation. He led a late-game comeback attempt but fell short as the Chiefs lost 21-19, with his final drive ending in a sack and turnover on downs.

Kenneth Walker led the Chiefs' ground attack in the Madden simulation with 4 rushing attempts for 40 yards, highlighted by a 28-yard run on the opening drive that set the tone for Kansas City's ground-and-pound approach.

Michael Penix Jr. completed 16 of 22 passes for 171 yards and 1 touchdown while adding 4 rushing attempts for 16 yards in the Madden simulation. He orchestrated the Falcons' offense effectively, including touchdown passes to Bijan Robinson, though the simulation ended in a Falcons victory.

Kyle Pitts Sr. caught 5 receptions for 61 yards in the Madden simulation, showing consistent target involvement in the Falcons' passing attack despite the team's 3-6 record.

Jahan Dotson recorded a 14-yard reception on a pick-and-roll pass in the Madden simulation, moving the Falcons to the Chiefs' 14-yard line in the second quarter and setting up another Bijan Robinson touchdown.

Drake London caught 3 receptions for 37 yards in the Madden simulation, including a 15-yard catch that moved the Falcons to the Chiefs' 4-yard line early in the second quarter, setting up Bijan Robinson's first touchdown.

Brian Robinson saw limited usage in the Madden simulation as a complementary back to Bijan Robinson in the Falcons' ground attack. He recorded a 10-yard run in the third quarter as Atlanta alternated between the two Robinson backs to drain the clock, indicating a backup role in the simulation.

In Madden simulation, Robinson dominated the Falcons' offense with 16 rushing attempts for 100 yards and 3 total touchdowns (2 rushing, 1 receiving). He scored on a 1-yard rushing TD in the second quarter after breaking a tackle, caught a pass from Penix Jr. for a second TD, and added a third TD on a toss play in the fourth quarter, demonstrating heavy workload and red-zone involvement.

Deebo Samuel (hamstring) is good to go for Sunday’s game against the Cowboys

Trent Williams (shoulder) and Deebo Samuel (hamstring) are both questionable for Sunday’s game against the Cowboys

In concussion protocol but has made it almost through the league's protocol. If he wakes up Saturday with no concussion symptoms, he should be cleared to play Week 10 for the Jets.

Doubtful for Week 10 with an ankle injury sustained Monday night against the Vikings; already missed Week 8 with a back injury and had an early exit from Week 6 in Las Vegas. The source expects the doubtful designation to become an out by game time, meaning the Bills' starting right tackle will likely be unavailable.

Likely replacement for Josh Jacobs on game-day roster vs. Vikings; missed last week's action but positioned to see increased carries with Jacobs ruled out.

Questionable vs. Vikings with ankle injury; on IR with practice window now open for return. Packers have used four of eight allotted return designations this season.

Ruled out vs. Vikings. Packers have already managed without him in recent weeks, indicating available depth at tight end.

Ruled out vs. Vikings with fractured ring finger; did not finish last week's game vs. Patriots; surgery pending per head coach Matt LaFleur. Likely to be replaced on game-day roster by MarShawn Lloyd.

Drew Lock (right elbow, oblique) will play Week 10.

Colby Parkinson (ribs), Tyler Higbee (illness) not listed on injury report for Week 10.

Colby Parkinson (ribs), Tyler Higbee (illness) not listed on injury report for Week 10.

Penix is the Falcons' starting quarterback facing the Chiefs' strong pass rush. The source expects the Chiefs to build on their second-half performance against the Jets by moving Penix off his spot and forcing him past his first read, which should lead to mistakes and pressure situations.

Pitts is identified as an offensive weapon for the Falcons who can still cause problems for the Chiefs' linebackers and safeties despite a quiet season. He is part of the Falcons' talented offensive core that the Chiefs must account for defensively.

London is part of the Falcons' talented offensive core alongside Bijan Robinson and Kyle Pitts. Despite these weapons, the Falcons are only 3-6. London demands attention from the Chiefs' defense, and the source notes he is a key offensive weapon the Chiefs must account for in their defensive game plan.

Downs makes his Chiefs debut after being traded from the Colts. The source expects him to play 20-50% of snaps in his first week; one the source likes Mahomes having another underneath option, while another expects the Chiefs to design a few routes to get Downs' feet wet in the offense. The source notes the Chiefs typically onboard receivers slowly.

Walker III impressed in the Chiefs' 35-12 win over the Jets, finishing with 143 yards from scrimmage and three touchdowns, looking like the player from the 5-0 start. To keep him rolling against Atlanta, the Chiefs need their receivers to win against man coverage; if receivers make Atlanta pay for loading the box, Walker will have more room to run and play-action will regain effectiveness.

Robinson is identified as one of the league's two best running backs and will face the Chiefs in Week 10. The source expects a run-heavy game and notes Robinson is coming off 100 rushing yards and 47 receiving yards; the Chiefs' key defensive challenge is to slow him down rather than stop him entirely, as he poses a threat both on handoffs and in the passing game.

Running back Jonathon Brooks is listed as doubtful for Week 10 against the New Orleans Saints.

Wide receiver Xavier Legette is listed as questionable for Week 10 against the New Orleans Saints. The Panthers could use him at least situationally.

Receiver Jordan Addison was injured on Friday and has been listed as questionable by the Vikings for Sunday's game against the Packers.

Tight end T.J. Hockenson (wrist/chest) won't play on Sunday against the Packers, according to Vikings head coach Kevin O'Connell.

Kirk Cousins will start for the Minnesota Vikings against the Green Bay Packers on Sunday. Vikings head coach Kevin O'Connell announced the change in the lineup on Friday, just days after the team traded for Cousins from the Las Vegas Raiders. Cousins was previously the Vikings' starting quarterback from 2018 to 2023, which overlapped with O'Connell's time there. This move comes after Carson Wentz's poor injury-replacement performance (8-of-25, 8.9 passer rating) on Monday Night Football prompted the trade.

The #Vikings final Week 10 injury report OUT: LB Blake Cashman, TE T.J. Hockenson, DL Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins, WR Jauan Jennings and QB Kyler Murray QUESTIONABLE: WR Jordan Addison (thumb), S Joshua Metellus (shoulder) and OLB Kyle Van Noy [Retweeted](

Coach Kevin O'Connell named Cousins the starter for Minnesota on Sunday against the Packers at Lambeau Field.

Omar Cooper Jr. (ankle), Adonai Mitchell (knee) listed questionable for Week 10.

Garrett Wilson (concussion) officially listed questionable for Week 10.

Vikings TE TJ Hockenson is out for Week 10. Jordan Addison is questionable.

Vikings TE TJ Hockenson is out for Week 10. Jordan Addison is questionable.

Drake Maye threw three interceptions against the Packers on Sunday, and all three came with Maye in a clean pocket—indicating the Packers' defense won without relying on blitzing pressure. The Packers never rushed more than four defenders, instead winning after the snap through disguise, rotation, and safety play. McKinney picked off Maye's first pass and returned it to the 14-yard line, then later read Maye's eyes from a deep-quarter alignment and drove on a backside dig.

TJ Hockenson (wrist, chest) ruled out for Week 10.

Croskey-Merritt (groin) is eligible to return for a Monday game against the Bengals in Week 11. It's not yet clear if he'll be ready, but the Commanders did suggest at one point that he had a chance to return after the four-game minimum (and Thursday's game was No. 4).

Tracy (hamstring) is eligible to return for Week 13, but it isn't yet clear if he's expected to be ready. His return timeline remains uncertain.

Daniels became the first QB since Blake Bortles in 2017 (against the Chargers) to throw two 4th quarter interceptions while trailing and still win the game. Daniels is the first QB to pull off such a win in regulation since Joe Flacco against the Jags in 2016. He finished 23-of-33 for 249 yards and 3 TDs, 2 INT.

Johnson played 28% of snaps (17 snaps) and ran 31% of routes (12 routes), finishing with 1-8-0 on three targets (9%).

Singletary played just five snaps, taking one carry for three yards. Tyrone Tracy (hamstring) is eligible to return for Week 13, but it isn't yet clear if he's expected to be ready.

Mooney played 72% of snaps and ran 28 routes (72% share), finishing with 2-8-0 on five targets (15%).

Rookie wideout Malachi Fields has three straight games with at least three catches and 40 yards since McCarthy took over at QB. He finished with 3-62-0 on 31 routes (79% share) and four targets (12%).

Bates picked up a few extra snaps while Okonkwo was sidelined with a back injury, though he did not record any receiving statistics in the game.

Sinnott stepped up with 4-42-1 on just nine routes while Okonkwo was sidelined with a back injury. Sinnott and John Bates picked up a few extra snaps while Okonkwo was out, though Sinnott actually had a larger snap share the week before (43%, with zero targets on eight routes). Prior to Thursday's game, Sinnott had been targeted on two of 66 routes.

Okonkwo finished second on the team in targets (eight) despite missing part of the game with a back injury. He finished with just 4-24-0 receiving, while Ben Sinnott stepped up with 4-42-1 on just nine routes.

Burks returned to the lineup with a 56% route share, putting up 2-27-0 on three targets across 22 routes.

Jefferson dropped to a 41% route share with Treylon Burks (56%) back in the lineup. Jefferson wasn't targeted on any of his 16 routes.

Williams ran a team-high 33 routes (85% share) and scored a 31-yard TD on a crossing route, but he was targeted just twice overall, finishing with 2-42-1 receiving. Williams finished with a season high for snap share (84%) and a season low for target share (6%).

Ekeler played 42% of snaps, gaining 52 yards from nine carries and four targets. He had a near-50/50 split of the backfield with Rachaad White for a second straight week, with both players receiving 13 opportunities and 52 yards apiece.

White played 53% of snaps, gaining 52 yards from 11 carries and two targets. He had a near-50/50 split of the backfield with Austin Ekeler for a second straight week, with both players receiving 13 opportunities and 52 yards apiece.

Diggs put up 6-83-1 on a 77% route share and led the Commanders in targets (10) and air yards (55). The route share was Diggs' second-best of the year, and an improvement on 64% in the prior game (though he's been above 70% four times now, so this wasn't out of his ordinary range).

Nabers lost a fumble in the third quarter and seemingly could've done more to break up the game-clinching interception. He did get the second-most targets (seven, 21%) on a night where Skattebo and Likely dominated production. Per Ryan Dunleavy, Nabers left the locker room immediately after the game without speaking to media, a first in three years, signaling frustration after a difficult week.

Likely put up 9-127-1 on a team-high 11 targets (32% share) while handling a career-high 92% route share. Before Thursday's game, Likely had just 11 of the 63 targets (17.5%) from J.J. McCarthy this season; he is now up to 22 of 97 targets (22.7%) from McCarthy.

Skattebo played a career-high 88% of snaps and took 22 of 23 RB opportunities (96%), cashing in his 21 touches for 122 yards and two TDs. An every-down role likely would make Skattebo a low-end RB1 down the stretch.

David Montgomery (groin) listed questionable for Week 10.

Woody Marks (knee) not listed on injury report for Week 10.

Did not practice on Wednesday or Thursday and was expected to miss another week; status in question for Cowboys matchup, further depleting 49ers secondary depth.

Expected to play in Cowboys-49ers matchup after starting the week with two limited practices; positioned as a star receiver threat against a 49ers secondary dealing with injuries to Deommodore Lenoir and Renardo Green.

Marquez Valdes-Scantling is part of the Steelers' receiving depth chart. Aaron Rodgers mentioned him as an option in the receiving room, noting 'We have Marquez (Valdes-Scantling), who hasn't been brought up yet, so we have a lot of options,' indicating he remains available for deployment as the team manages injuries and returns.

DK Metcalf, identified as the Steelers' WR1, expressed enthusiasm for the receiving room's depth and Hurleman's potential impact, indicating confidence in the team's offensive weapons and upcoming contributions from returning receivers.

Roman Wilson is currently on injured reserve. Aaron Rodgers expressed hope for his return alongside Michael Pittman Jr., stating 'I'm hopeful that we'll get (Michael Pittman Jr.) and Roman (Wilson) back sooner rather than later.' Mike McCarthy also mentioned Wilson in the context of the Steelers' receiving group returning to health.

Michael Pittman Jr. is currently on injured reserve. Aaron Rodgers expressed hope for his return, stating 'I'm hopeful that we'll get (Michael Pittman Jr.) and Roman (Wilson) back sooner rather than later.' Mike McCarthy also mentioned Pittman in the context of the Steelers' receiving group returning to health.

Tyler Higbee is being considered as a potential beneficiary of Puka Nacua's IR absence, though the source suggests the Rams' elite running backs (first and second in rush success rate) and defensive strength may lead Sean McVay to prioritize the run game, limiting pass-catcher upside.

Downs was acquired by the Kansas City Chiefs at the trade deadline for a fourth and fifth round pick and becomes the Chiefs' best separator and man-coverage beater. He is one of the better separators in the league and very good against man-to-man coverage, offering something the offense lacked. While acclamation may take time (DeAndre Hopkins comparison), if he's locked in and ready, he could be fantasy productive, especially with play-action opportunities built off Kenneth Walker's run game establishing the threat. The source notes Downs' talent is undeniable—a 25–26-year-old shouldn't suddenly fall off—and Andy Reid has a track record of scheming up small-bodied receivers like Xavier Worthy for success. Downs is the clear man-coverage advantage over Rashid Rice. However, the source emphasizes uncertainty: Downs has not played well this year in Indianapolis (Keenan Allen has outplayed him), and there is a real chance acclamation takes time to materialize.

Mahomes faces the Falcons in Week 10 and is ranked QB8 but projected to exceed that ranking with 3+ touchdowns and a top-5 finish. The source states: 'It wouldn't surprise me if Mahomes outscores any of them,' referring to other high-projection QBs like Dak Prescott. The Falcons defense is described as soft and lacking pass rush threat, and the Chiefs offense may want to prove something in the passing game after the trade deadline. Notably, Jesse Bates—the secondary defender who has historically picked off Mahomes—is not in this matchup.

Bold prediction: top-4 RB scorer in Week 10 with 25+ carries and 25+ points. Cook has a seven-game streak of 70+ rushing yards, averaging 18.6 PPG. The matchup is favorable: Bills are 9-point road favorites against the Jets and expected to lean heavily on Cook to avoid David Bailey's elite pass rush. The source calls it an 'absolute smash spot' and great DFS pivot. With playoff positioning in mind, the source explicitly states: 'I think you can ride James Cook in this spot.'

Bold prediction: top-15 receiver finish this week. Coker has emerged with a 24% target per route run rate against cover three, averaging almost 16 yards average depth of target and 2.31 yards per route run versus cover three. The source prefers Coker over Ted McMillan in this matchup because Koolin McKinstry, the Saints' shadow corner, is likely to follow McMillan on 50-60% of his routes (held McMillan without targets in their second matchup last year), leaving Coker as the more attackable option. Saints have allowed the ninth-highest catchable target rate to wide receivers.

Deep flex play consideration with significant uncertainty in the high-scoring Saints-Panthers game. There is speculation Tyson will play more snaps, but he barely played last week, making this a risky play. Could benefit from the high-scoring game environment if snap count increases, but role clarity is lacking.

Bold prediction: QB8 this week against the Saints. While the high-scoring game environment (50-point total) initially suggests both QBs will shine, the source expresses nervousness about Young's performance. Defenses have been blitzing Young at a 40% rate this year (up from 29% last year), and he hasn't played well against the blitz in 2024. Saints defensive coordinator Brandon Staley has shown willingness to blitz heavily in specific matchups to pressure opposing QBs, posing a risk to Young's fantasy output despite the high game total.

Taking over the QB role in Arizona this week. The source expresses uncertainty about what fantasy managers will get from Beck in a disastrous week for quarterbacks overall, with multiple choppy QB matchups to avoid.

Has been a reliable streamer all season but now faces an iffy matchup against Green Bay in what the source describes as a disastrous week for quarterbacks overall; losing the starting role to Fernando Mendoza.

Removed from the league-winner list after strong performance; now ranked RB6 rest of season. Has performed exceptionally well since being removed from the list, demonstrating significant upside.

Projected as WR6 overall this week, not a top-5 WR finish. The source expects Seattle's running backs to dominate, reducing JSN's efficiency; he may score on a deep touchdown but is not expected to win the week or finish as a top-5 WR.

Fernando Mendoza, the Raiders' rookie quarterback, faces significant pressure in his debut start against Seattle's defense on the road. The source expects this defensive mismatch to create opportunities for Seattle's running backs and potentially lead to turnovers, as the rookie signal caller will struggle in this unfavorable spot. He is taking over the QB role for Kirk Cousins.

Bold prediction: top 15 RB this week. Seattle's opponent has allowed over 1,000 rushing yards in the same stretch; Charbonnet is expected to score a touchdown with Seattle's implied team total of 23.5 points.

Jadarian Price could produce big plays against the Raiders' weak run defense (132 rushing yards allowed per game, 5.21 yards per carry), and the source projects him as a top-20 running back this week. However, Price has been inconsistent with a 25.5% stuffed rate and 27.7% rush success rate (51st of 57 qualified RBs), making him hit-or-miss; the source trusts Charbanet more but still recommends starting Price with confidence in flex or RB2 spots, expecting both Seattle backs to score touchdowns. Seattle's opponent has allowed over 1,000 rushing yards in the same stretch; team has 23.5 implied total.

The source signals that San Francisco may be kicking Keenan Allen, suggesting a potential reduction in his receiver role and rotation at the position; this indicates decreased playing time or offensive involvement going forward.

Jordan Watkins is a deep league option with recent strong performance and splash-play potential. He has looked good over the past month and showed promise in preseason. Recommended as a deep league roll of the dice for those seeking upside in the 49ers wide receiver rotation, particularly with potential changes to the receiver group.

The source's bold prediction for Brock Purdy is elevated to QB1 overall for Week 10, initially projected as a top-two QB scorer, then upgraded to QB1 overall. The game features the highest over-under of the season (mid-50s), and Purdy is playing at a tremendous level. The source recommends stacking Purdy with CeeDee Lamb in this high-scoring matchup. Purdy is selected as QB1 for Week 10 over Josh Allen; the source's reasoning is that the Bills will avoid dropping back against the Jets' elite edge rusher and will instead lean on James Cook, making Purdy the safer QB play. Regardless of San Francisco's receiver rotation or personnel changes, Purdy continues to deliver at an incredibly high level, making him a reliable fantasy asset independent of who lines up around him.

Omar Cooper bounced back strongly in Week 9 after recording a zero the previous week, validating Jacob Gibbs' bold prediction and demonstrating resilience.

CeeDee Lamb is the source's Week 10 bold prediction pick, described as 'simply red-hot' with 108 targets on the year (averaging 12+ per game) and on pace for 205 targets, which would tie Marvin Harrison Sr. for most in NFL history. He has posted two of the top five receiving yardage games of the season (195 and 189 yards). Removing the Tampa Bay outlier game, he averages 24.8 PPR points per game. Over the last five games, his target share has been elite: 47%, 48%, 46%, and a low of 33%. Last week he scored 33.5 points. Against San Francisco in Week 10, Lamb faces a defense that has allowed five top-24 WR performances in their past four games. While the 49ers defense is generally well-coached with star players, their catchable target rate allowed on first three targets is 12th-worst in the league (nearly identical to Dallas at 11th-worst). The 49ers have a 29.5 implied team total suggesting a potential shootout, and the source projects Lamb to run back-to-back 30+ point weeks in this matchup. The game features the highest over-under of the season (mid-50s).

The source is making a bold prediction that Derrick Henry will bounce back in Week 10 against the Chargers after a brutal stretch of three out of four games with fewer than six fantasy points. The Ravens are expected to stabilize at quarterback with Jacobe Brassette, and Vegas projects Baltimore for 21 points and a win. In three games where the Ravens scored 21+ points and won without Lamar Jackson, Henry averaged 29 fantasy points per game with 21, 36, and 21 rush attempts. Across a larger 223-snap sample in close games without Lamar Jackson, Henry accounted for 47% of the Ravens' offensive touches, up from 39% with Lamar on the field. Head coach John Harbaugh has familiarity with the Chargers offense, and the Ravens are expected to lean heavily on Henry in what should be a script-friendly game. Additionally, Henry has been 'Mr. December' throughout his career, averaging 5.3 yards per carry in 38 December games with 38 total touchdowns (37 rushing, 1 receiving), setting up a potential two-week bounceback with Carolina on the road next week. The source projects Henry as a top-eight running back in Week 10.

The source made a bold prediction for Joe Burrow to hit four passing touchdowns in Week 9, but he fell short of that specific projection; however, he did record four total touchdowns (passing and rushing combined), partially validating the underlying bullish stance on his scoring upside.

starting Kaleb Johnson against Minnesota’s defense 😭😭😭 (I’m desperate)

Blake Cashman was on the field Friday in a red jersey, meaning he is progressing though concussion protocol but not out of it. Kyle Van Noy was also on the field. Did not see T.J. Hockenson. Would be a big absence Sunday in Green Bay. [Retweeted](

Chiefs WR Xavier Worthy (hamstring) cleared to full practice status; hamstring injury did not prevent full participation.

Chiefs WR Rashee Rice (knee) cleared to full practice status; knee injury did not prevent full participation.

Chiefs TE Travis Kelce (ankle) cleared to full practice status; ankle injury did not prevent full participation.

Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes (knee, right elbow) returned to full practice status after suffering an injury scare in Week 9 where he appeared to suffer a devastating elbow injury but was able to return to action; health trajectory positive heading into Falcons matchup.

Falcons WR Zachariah Branch did not practice Thursday due to a hamstring injury; status for weekend game uncertain pending Friday practice participation.

A good what-the-heck flex play with touchdown upside against the Titans. The source notes he could score a touchdown or record a 25-yard reception given the Titans' weak defense and the Jaguars' 10.5-point favorite status, suggesting the Jaguars will play downhill the entire game.

Moved down in Mattek Fantasy Football's Week 10 rankings, dropping below Bam Knight at 29. Judkins is losing snaps to Dylan Samson, who has played more snaps back-to-back despite having only 15 rushes on the season. The source expects the Browns to stubbornly want to use Judkins, but Samson's superior pass-catching ability means he likely plays more overall snaps.

Moved up in Mattek Fantasy Football's Week 10 and rest-of-season rankings. Knight is likely to play the passing downs. In games where Knight and Alvin Kamara played together before Jeremiah Love was out, Knight was the more efficient rusher and more efficient pass catcher than Kamara. The source moved Knight up in rest-of-season rankings despite a bad concussion that surprisingly did not cause him to miss significant time.

One of Mattek Fantasy Football's biggest risers from the flex rankings video to Week 10. Samson has played back-to-back games with more snaps than Quinchon Judkins despite only 15 rushes on the season, but has been targeted 16 times, giving him a useful pass-catching role. The source notes Samson is not quite as good as Judkins on the ground, but so much better of a pass catcher that he probably plays more overall snaps. This is a useful role when the Browns are going to be a dog in every game they play.

The source argues Mason has regained a similar level of fantasy value as Justin Jefferson following Kurt Cousins' return to the Vikings. Mason will be the early-down back with Aaron Jones handling passing downs, giving Mason a huge lead in baseline projection. The source notes if there is a running back touchdown for the Vikings against the Packers, it's very likely to be Jordan Mason, indicating strong red-zone role.

Aaron Jones is relegated to passing-down back duties for the Vikings with Jordan Mason handling early-down work. Jones is losing work to DJ Dallas, which the source characterizes as not great. Over three consecutive games, Jones has scored only three, six, and three fantasy points, indicating DJ Dallas is significantly eating into his workload.

Larrison will handle all passing downs in the Germany game against Detroit, splitting work with Corey Ker who takes early-down snaps. Larrison will not be involved in early-down work. If Randre Stevenson plays, Larrison would be removed from rankings entirely, indicating Stevenson would reclaim the primary role.

Ranked in the 30s in the source's week 10 running back rankings, contingent on Travis Etienne's activation status. Part of a three-running-back rotation with Etienne and Audrey Estime. The source notes you're not rushing to start any of these Saints backs, indicating limited appeal across the backfield.

Banged up and did not practice on Thursday, creating significant uncertainty about his availability for week 10. If he is able to play, he would be part of a three-running-back rotation with Travis Etienne and Audrey Estime. The source notes that if a play goes to Donaldson, it means something else has gone wrong on that play, indicating limited upside.

Expected to play for the first time since week three after injury. Before the injury, he played 59% and 54% of snaps in his last two games. The source expects Etienne to command a larger share of backfield work than before his injury because other Saints running backs have been inefficient. His absence has made the heart grow fonder, and he should return with increased role share despite competition from Audrey Estime and CJ Donaldson.

Ranked RB21 against Jacksonville, but it's not a great matchup. Taj Spears should be back this week, which will limit Pollard's usage. Additionally, the loss of Carnell Tate will limit the Titans' overall offensive efficiency. The Jaguars run defense is one of the three best units in the NFL. However, Pollard was so efficient before his injury that the source shows him respect in the rankings despite these headwinds.

Listed as questionable; was listed as questionable last week and later reported an illness-related injury at practice, limiting his availability for the Rams against Arizona. His status impacts the Rams' offensive efficiency and target distribution.

Being used as the reserve running back for the Dolphins, behind Ollie Gordon in the depth chart.
