New York Jets running back Isaiah Davis was one of the bigger losers of the trade deadline. After weeks of speculation that the team might move Breece Hall, the Jets ultimately held onto their starter, keeping him locked in as the clear RB1. Davis was coming off the best performance of his young career before the bye, totaling 109 scrimmage yards on 12 touches, showing burst and efficiency when given opportunities. However, his path to meaningful volume remains limited with Hall still leading the backfield. The Jets also face a difficult Week 10 matchup against Cleveland, a defense allowing the second-fewest fantasy points to running backs. Davis currently profiles as a stash-and-hold handcuff rather than a startable option.

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Tory Horton has been a touchdown machine in his rookie season, scoring five touchdowns on just 13 receptions. He posted a career day in Week 9 with four catches for 48 yards and two scores while logging a season-high 73% snap share. However, Seattle's trade for Rashid Shaheed may limit Horton's fantasy trajectory. Shaheed recorded 44 receptions in nine games with the Saints this season and is expected to slide in as the No. 2 option alongside Jaxon Smith-Njigba. With Shaheed likely to command consistent snaps and targets, Horton becomes a far more volatile play. He should be viewed as a stash-only option in deeper leagues, not a weekly fantasy starter.

Chicago Bears wide receiver Olamide Zaccheaus is coming off his best performance of the season, posting six receptions for 58 yards and a touchdown in Week 10 against Cincinnati. With rookie Luther Burden III (concussion) sidelined, Zaccheaus logged his second-highest snap share of the year (66%) and delivered as the primary slot option in Ben Johnson's scheme. He's developed solid chemistry with Caleb Williams, and now draws a favorable Week 11 matchup against the Giants, who allow the fourth-most fantasy points to opposing wideouts. If Burden remains out, Zaccheaus carries deep-league FLEX value against a struggling Giants secondary.

Dynasty | The Saints did not trade wide receiver Chris Olave prior to Tuesday's deadline. Dynasty Analysis: Olave was rumored to be of interest to several teams, including the Bills (let your imagination wander). However, the Saints kept him in the hopes they could sign him to an extension. We'll see if that pans out in the end, but anyone with Olave on their dynasty roster has to be at least a little disappointed. Let's face it - Olave has a high floor and a low ceiling in an offense led by Tyler Shough or Spencer Rattler.

Chicago Bears rookie tight end Colston Loveland broke out in a big way in Week 9, catching six of seven targets for 118 yards and two touchdowns in the Bears' 47-42 win over the Bengals. The highlight came on a 58-yard game-winning touchdown, capping off a monster performance that pushed Chicago to a 5-3 record. With Cole Kmet exiting early due to a concussion, Loveland stepped in as the primary tight end, logging 79% of the offensive snaps. Now, with Kmet still in concussion protocol entering Week 10, Loveland could once again handle a full workload against the New York Giants, who have allowed the ninth-most passing yards in the NFL this season. If Kmet remains sidelined, Loveland is a must-start fantasy option across all formats, offering TE1 upside in Week 10.

With Jayden Daniels (elbow) expected to miss time following a gruesome Week 9 injury, Marcus Mariota is set to take over as the Washington Commanders' starting quarterback for the foreseeable future. In three starts this season, the veteran has completed 52 of 78 passes (66.7%) for 576 yards, throwing four touchdowns and three interceptions, while adding 102 rushing yards and a touchdown on 16 carries. Mariota draws a favorable Week 10 matchup against the Detroit Lions, who have allowed the 10th-most fantasy points per game to quarterbacks this season. With his dual-threat ability and favorable matchup, Mariota profiles as a low-end QB2 for Week 10, and potentially beyond if Daniels remains sidelined.

New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton emerged as one of the quiet winners of the NFL Trade Deadline. While several teams reshaped their receiving corps during the deadline, the Giants stood pat, signaling confidence in their current group and keeping Slayton locked in as a top option. Through seven games, Slayton has caught 19 of 30 targets for 254 yards without finding the end zone. Despite modest production, he's played on 85% of the team's offensive snaps, maintaining a strong role in the offense. With rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart continuing to impress, Slayton's breakout could be right around the corner. In Week 10, Slayton draws a favorable matchup against the Chicago Bears, who have allowed the fifth-most fantasy points per game to wide receivers. Given his snap share and matchup, Slayton profiles as an intriguing deep-league FLEX flier this week.

Green Bay Packers tight end Luke Musgrave is set to step up as the team's new TE1 with the unfortunate injury to Tucker Kraft (knee) in Week 9. Kraft is out for the season, and Musgrave becomes the next man up. Musgrave is also not a nobody; he was actually drafted ahead of Kraft in the 2023 NFL draft. Musgrave was the starter for most of his rookie season until an injury opened the door for Kraft. For a team looking for a replacement at the tight end spot after Kraft's injury, Musgrave is a likely candidate and worth the pick-up. However, fantasy managers should temper their expectations, as Jayden Reed (collarbone, foot) is set to return soon, and the Packers' pass-catchers still include Christian Watson, Romeo Doubs, Matthew Golden, and now Musgrave. The point being, there are a lot of mouths to feed, and what made Kraft so special was his ability to create yards after catch (15.3 yards per reception). Moving forward, fantasy managers should view Musgrave as a touchdown-dependent TE2.

The Las Vegas Raiders traded away Jakobi Meyers on Tuesday, and now Tucker is listed as the team's No. 1 wide receiver. Obviously, Brock Bowers is the number one pass-catching option for the Raiders offense, but Meyers was averaging seven targets per game. Those targets now have to go to somebody else, with Tucker and Bowers being the most likely candidates. Tucker has had some spike weeks in 2025, with a three-touchdown game back in Week 3, but has been more of a boom-or-bust WR3 option for fantasy managers with 427 receiving yards and four touchdowns through nine weeks. With Meyers on the move and a clear path for more targets, Tucker could work his way into the low-end WR2 conversation moving forward, but certainly has to prove it first. Tyler Lockett, Dont'e Thornton, and Jack Bech are not much of a threat for targets at this time.

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Parker Washington led the Jaguars in targets and receptions in Week 9 against the Las Vegas Raiders. He hauled in eight of his nine receptions for 90 yards, with a very solid 26 percent target share. Travis Hunter (knee) is out for another three games minimum, Brenton Strange (hip, quadriceps) is sidelined, and Brian Thomas Jr. (ankle) is struggling in 2025 and rolled his ankle late in the game on Sunday, and is questionable heading into Week 10. The Jaguars traded for Jakobi Meyers on Tuesday; however, Washington should still receive a majority of the looks on Sunday against the Houston Texans while Meyers adjusts to the new offense. The unfortunate news is that the Texans are a tough matchup, allowing the fourth fewest points to opposing wide receivers. Derek Stingley Jr. is also one of the top cornerbacks in the game, so it might be tough sledding for the Jaguar pass catcher he guards on Sunday. That said, the targets should be there for Washington, as he's now seen 19 over his last two games, making him a flex option in Week 10 and a must-add off the waiver wire.

New York Giants running back Devin Singletary was expected to have an increased role this weekend with Cam Skattebo (ankle) sidelined for the rest of the season. However, nobody expected him to out-touch Week 9's hottest waiver wire pickup, Tyrone Tracy Jr. Singletary not only out-touched Tracy 10 to nine, but he also played 56% of the snaps compared to Tracy's 44%. Singletary was also more efficient with his touches, averaging 5.38 YPC to Tracy's 3.60 YPC. It's a small sample size of one game, so it's important not to overreact, considering Tracy was the starter in 2024; however, it's a situation to monitor moving forward, and Singletary no longer deserves to be on the waiver wire in 12-team formats. He should be rostered heading into Week 10 and has some RB3 value against the Chicago Bears, who rank middle of the pack against opposing running backs.

Arizona Cardinals second-year running back out of Florida State, Trey Benson (knee), is eligible to return from the IR this week; however, the team has not yet provided an update on whether or not they will activate him. "He's doing well. He's getting better," head coach Jonathan Gannon said on November 1. Fantasy managers who have been stashing him on their IR will be disappointed by this news, but it will remain crucial for fantasy managers to stay up to date with his news this week to see if he's activated. Benson was fantasy football's top waiver wire pick-up back in Week 4 when James Conner (foot) was ruled out for the year. Since Benson's injury, the Cardinals' running back room has been a carousel of Bam Knight, Emari Demercado, and Michael Carter. After Week 9's win at the Dallas Cowboys, it was Demercado who appeared to be the more effective running back (5.64 YPC) compared to Knight's (3.0 YPC). The Cardinals have also committed to Jacoby Brissett as their starting quarterback moving forward, so once Benson returns, he should be in the RB2 conversation and see a majority of the team snaps. He remains one of, if not the best, IR stash in fantasy football.

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy (toe), still affected by a turf toe injury suffered in Week 1 and reaggravated in Week 4, missed a fifth consecutive game in Week 9. Head coach Kyle Shanahan referred to Purdy's injury as "probably something that doesn't go away all year, regardless of when he comes back," as reported by The Athletic's Vic Tafur. Based on Shanahan's assessment, Purdy will be playing through pain if and when he resumes starting duties. Doing so would limit his mobility and, in turn, potentially affect his effectiveness. Until Purdy can get healthy enough for game action, Mac Jones will remain under center for San Francisco. Jones improved to 5-2 with the 49ers' 34-24 win over the Giants on Sunday. Should his role as interim starter extend to Week 10, he will face a Rams defense he gouged for 342 yards and two touchdowns in Week 5.

Dallas Cowboys linebacker DeMarvion Overshown (knee) and rookie cornerback Shavon Revel (knee) are "trending" toward playing in Week 11 against the Las Vegas Raiders, according to Joseph Hoyt of the Dallas News. Overshown suffered a torn ACL, MCL, and PCL in December of last season and has been on the Physically Unable to Perform List for most of the season. His 21-day practice window was opened on October 22, and he'll be set to return following the team's Week 10 bye. Revel, on the other hand, has also been recovering from a torn ACL suffered in September 2024 during his final season at East Carolina. The rookie third-rounder began the season on the Reserve/Non-Football Injured List and is trending towards making his NFL debut in Week 11. Overshown and Revel could be big players to get back for a struggling Dallas defense. They'll be expected to be joined by Dallas' two trade deadline acquisitions in linebacker Logan Wilson and defensive tackle Quinnen Williams.

Cincinnati Bengals tight end Noah Fant caught two of his three targets for 28 yards and a touchdown in a thrilling 47-42 loss against the Chicago Bears in Week 9. Fant caught his third touchdown of the season and has now recorded multiple receptions in four straight games. Fant had little involvement in this game despite it being one of the highest scoring games we will see all season. Since posting a season high 73.5% route share in Week 7, the 27-year-old has dipped to 33.3% and 44% in each of the past two weeks. The targets in Cincinnati's offense are heavily consolidated around the top two wideouts in Tee Higgins and Ja'Marr Chase, and with Fant's route share being limited in back-to-back games, fantasy managers should likely look elsewhere if searching for a streamer at tight end for Week 10.

Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Pat Freiermuth scored his third touchdown of the season in Sunday's 27-20 win over the AFC-leading Indianapolis Colts. Freiermuth has gotten rolling a bit after a slower start to the year, recording at least three receptions in each of the past three games and scoring all three touchdowns. The 27-year-old leads the team in receiving yards in that time and ranks as TE4 in total PPR points (44.1). It's fueled almost entirely by his five catches, 111-yard, two-touchdown performance against the horrendous Cincinnati Bengals defense on Thursday night in Week 7. The usage isn't there to justify Freiermuth all of a sudden jumping to TE1 status in fantasy. Freiermuth profiles as a low-end streaming option against the Chargers on Sunday Night Football in Week 10.

Washington Commanders running back Chris Rodriguez Jr. had his best game of the season in Sunday night's blowout loss to the Seattle Seahawks, handling 12 carries for 65 yards and a touchdown. Rodriguez scored his second touchdown of the season, while the 12 carries and 65 yards were both the second-highest totals of his three-year career. The 25-year-old saw the same number of carries as rookie Jacory Croskey-Merritt and could be working his way back into a timeshare on early downs, with the rookie struggling on the ground of late. Rodriguez is a physical, bruising back that will get the yardage that is blocked for him and adds a few more after contact as he's always falling forward. The Washington offense will be without star quarterback Jayden Daniels (elbow) for the foreseeable future, but Marcus Mariota is capable of running the same style of offense. Rodriguez offers waiver wire value in deeper leagues headed into Week 10.

Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts Sr. drew another seven targets in Week 9's 24-23 loss to the Patriots, converting them into four catches for 38 yards. While his continued involvement in the passing attack has been a welcome change compared to the underwhelming production of the past few seasons, it hasn't amounted to much for fantasy, as the 25-year-old has just a single touchdown on the season. Also, althoughhe's on pace for 91 receptions, which would obliterate his previous career high of 68, the 6-foot-6 tight end is pacing for 812 yards, which would be more than last season's 602 yards but would fall well short of his career high of 1,026 that was set in his rookie season of 2021. Still, with two more red zone targets this past Sunday, the fifth-year pro could be on the verge of his big breakout performance of 2025, and he'll get a favorable matchup against the Colts in Germany this week versus a defense that's yielded a touchdown to an opposing tight end for four straight weeks now.

Despite being rumored as a potential candidate to be moved, Cleveland Browns running back Jerome Ford will remain with his team through the 2025 trade deadline. The 26-year-old has mostly been limited to a passing-downs role in Cleveland this season, recording 149 scrimmage yards on 42 touches across eight games played. However, Ford could play an expanded role in his team's Week 10 matchup against the New York Jets. Star rookie running back Quinshon Judkins (shoulder) suffered an AC joint sprain in Cleveland's final game before their Week 9 bye, putting his availability for Week 10 in question. Even if Judkins is out, Ford would likely split backfield work in Cleveland with Dylan Sampson. Still, Ford would profile as at least a low-end flex option for fantasy managers in most formats in a favorable matchup against New York if Judkins cannot play.

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk (knee) has not yet played this season as he recovers from the devastating knee injury he suffered seven games into his 2024 campaign. Aiyuk appears to be multiple weeks away from a return, as the team is not opening his 21-day practice window ahead of its Week 10 matchup against the Los Angeles Rams. In his last healthy season in 2023, Aiyuk recorded 75 catches for 1,342 yards and seven touchdowns on 105 targets across 16 games. There's no questioning the 27-year-old's ability to be productive when he's on the field; it's just a matter of when Aiyuk's knee will be healthy enough for him to return. Fantasy managers should have minimal expectations for Aiyuk's 2025 production. Still, in leagues with IR spots, Aiyuk could be a low-risk flier worth stashing.
