Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen had another quiet week, recording season lows with just five targets and two catches for 41 yards. The main concern is his snap share, which has dropped to 25% and 37.5% over the past two weeks as rookie pass-catchers like Tre' Harris and Oronde Gadsden take on bigger roles. Despite facing a favorable matchup against a surging but still vulnerable Pittsburgh Steelers pass defense, Allen's reduced usage limits the upside fantasy managers have come to expect. He does have a good individual matchup against Steelers cornerback Darius Slay, who is allowing 1.3 yards per route run, showing he can still move the chains when targeted. However, due to his declining volume, Allen is best viewed as a low-end WR3 or FLEX option this week, projected as WR35.

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson is yet again a WR1 option when his team plays host to the Baltimore Ravens, who have allowed opposing teams to score on 48% of their drives, the fourth-highest rate in the NFL. Baltimore ranks 23rd against PPR receivers this season and has allowed the seventh-most air yards on the season, though the Ravens have looked significantly improved during the past month, during which they've allowed their past three opponents an average of 13 points. Behind quarterback J.J. McCarthy, who is playing for the first time after missing his entire rookie season and five games this year, the Vikings threw for only 143 yards last week in a win at Detroit. Even in a light week, Jefferson still drew nine targets and caught a touchdown, which should inspire some optimism as Minnesota sticks with McCarthy full-time. Though Minnesota figures to have some bumps in the road with a young quarterback, Jefferson is too good to be held in check for long stretches.

Washington Commanders running back Jacory Croskey-Merritt (mouth) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Detroit Lions. Croskey-Merritt was limited to begin the week due to a tooth issue. However, the rookie back was able to finish out the week with back-to-back full practice sessions. He'll be ready to go for this tough matchup against the Lions defense. Croskey-Merritt hasn't found much success on the ground lately. He has been held to 38 rushing yards or fewer in each of his last three games. However, Croskey-Merritt figures to continue having a fairly significant role in the backfield.

Minnesota Vikings quarterback J.J. McCarthy is coming off the best victory of his young career last week against Detroit, and can be considered a quality Superflex option when the Baltimore Ravens travel to U.S. Bank Stadium in Week 10. The second-year quarterback completed only 14 passes for 143 yards last week, but made several key plays that spurred the Vikings to victory by accounting for three touchdowns and sealing the game with a perfect throw on a late third-down conversion. He'll take on a Baltimore defense that is allowing points on 48% of drives, which ranks 28th of 32 teams, but has played much better recently, as none of the past three Baltimore opponents surpassed 17 points. McCarthy is still acclimating to being the full-time starter, so it's reasonable to expect some mistakes along the way, but the Week 9 victory gave plenty of reasons for optimism that he can be a fantasy-relevant quarterback as he gains additional experience.

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Quentin Johnston bounced back from a zero-target performance by catching four passes for 53 yards and a touchdown against the Tennessee Titans. This week, he faces a vulnerable Pittsburgh Steelers defense that ranks 27th in allowing deep passes (20+ yards), which fits Johnston's downfield role. However, he is likely to have a tough matchup against Steelers cornerback Joey Porter Jr., who is giving up one of the fewest fantasy points per route run in the league (0.15). Johnston's role in the offense remains unpredictable due to the rotating group of pass-catchers, including emerging rookie tight end Oronde Gadsden. His value heavily depends on game script, since it relies on the offense creating opportunities down the field or near the goal line. Johnston should be considered a boom/bust FLEX option, projected as WR26 this week.

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jalen Nailor made the catch of the game last week to seal a big victory at Detroit, but the receiver's low volume should keep him out of lineups in most leagues when the Vikings play host to the Baltimore Ravens. The Vikings have called upon the former Michigan State standout in big moments, including a game-sealing third-down reception last week from quarterback J.J. McCarthy. However, he's still averaging fewer than two catches per game this season. The Ravens rank 23rd against PPR receivers, but have held their past three opponents to an average of 13 points. With Nailor still firmly behind fellow receivers Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison in the pecking order, he's a touchdown-dependent option who should be avoided if possible.

From RotoBaller

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Ladd McConkey remains a crucial part of the passing attack, recording a 23.5% season-long target share and catching four of six targets for 56 yards in a close win against the Tennessee Titans last week. This week, he faces the Pittsburgh Steelers' league-worst passing defense, which ranks 30th in yards allowed per game, although they recently defeated the red-hot Indianapolis Colts. While he will likely draw the attention of Steelers' cornerback Jalen Ramsey, McConkey's exceptional ability to create separation should keep his target volume high. He has become Justin Herbert's most trusted receiver over the last few games and is expected to receive plenty of targets against a recently surging defense. Although his WR1 ceiling is often touchdown-dependent due to the many mouths to feed in Los Angeles, his high floor makes him a dependable high-end WR2 or low-end WR1 option that should be started in all leagues.

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jerry Jeudy will come out of his bye to take on the New York Jets on the road in Week 10. Jeudy was quiet last time he took the field, failing to catch either of his two targets in a loss to the New England Patriots. The veteran wideout will look to bounce back against a Jets team that just traded away their best cornerback, Sauce Gardner, on Tuesday. Jeudy has caught just 22 of his 54 targets for 257 scoreless yards in eight contests this season as he has been one of fantasy's biggest busts thus far. He should not be in fantasy lineups in Week 10, even against a vulnerable New York secondary.

Chicago Bears running back Kyle Monangai (ankle) is ready to go ahead of the Week 10 matchup against the New York Giants. Monangai was limited to begin the week due to an ankle issue. However, the rookie back was able to get in back-to-back full practice sessions to clear him for this weekend. Last week, Monangai rushed 26 times for 176 yards, while hauling in three receptions for 22 yards in the win over the Cincinnati Bengals. Fellow back D'Andre Swift (groin) still remains uncertain for this weekend. If they both play, head coach Ben Johnson said he'd likely ride the hot hand to determine the workload. This could end up as a frustrating situation for fantasy managers.

From RotoBaller

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jordan Addison is a suitable WR3/flex option when his team takes on the Baltimore Ravens in Week 10. The third-year receiver is coming off back-to-back underwhelming weeks, but should step into a friendlier matchup against a Ravens secondary that ranks 23rd against PPR receivers. The Vikings earned their biggest win of the season last week behind quarterback J.J. McCarthy, who helped the Vikings top the Detroit Lions, though they completed just 14 passes for 143 yards in doing so. Addison, however, has averaged 6.8 targets per game since his return from suspension and should continue to see a better volume as the offense acclimates to its young quarterback. Fellow receiver Justin Jefferson remains the team's top target, yet Addison has a favorable matchup and enough volume to consider playing him in most formats.

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. (glute) was able to practice in full on Thursday and Friday and has been cleared to play in Week 10 against the Atlanta Falcons in Berlin, Germany, on Sunday. Pittman was held out of Wednesday's practice with a glute injury, but he quickly returned to a full practice on Thursday and is fine to play overseas this weekend. The 28-year-old needs to be in all starting fantasy lineups this weekend as the Colts look to bounce back from only their second loss of the year last week to the Pittsburgh Steelers. Pittman has been the clear WR1 for the Colts and quarterback Daniel Jones in 2025, catching 52 of his 68 targets for 561 yards and six touchdowns in what has been a fine bounce-back season for him. He could be primed for another big game against Atlanta, a defense that has been more vulnerable to WRs in recent weeks.

Los Angeles Chargers running back Kimani Vidal struggled against the Tennessee Titans' weak run defense, gaining only 30 yards on 12 carries, averaging just 2.5 yards per carry. This Week 10 matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers presents a much tougher challenge, as the Steelers just held the league's top running back, Jonathan Taylor, to a season-low 45 yards. The Steelers have significantly improved their run defense since the first half of the season, making Vidal's chances of fantasy success highly dependent on a positive game script. With Hassan Haskins (hamstring) and Omarion Hampton (ankle) still on IR, Vidal will see the volume, but if the game stays close, a pass-heavy approach could limit his rushing opportunities. Vidal is considered a mid-range RB2 and a high-floor PPR FLEX option, projected as RB17. However, his ceiling depends on the Chargers securing an early lead.

From RotoBaller

Kicker Will Reichard should be considered an average fantasy option when his Minnesota Vikings play host to the Baltimore Ravens in Week 10. Baltimore ranks 24th against fantasy kickers on the season, but has seen its defense come to life in the past month. The Ravens have held their past three opponents to an average of 13 points, and they enter the game with a few days of added rest after playing the Thursday night game in Week 9. Minnesota quarterback J.J. McCarthy performed admirably in a big win at Detroit, but he's started only three times in his career, and some bumps in the road should be expected. Reichard has been excellent overall, however, making 16-of-18 field goal attempts, but a tough-to-predict Vikings offense makes him a middling fantasy option.

Chicago Bears second-year wide receiver Rome Odunze (ankle, heel) upgraded to a full practice on Friday and has been cleared to play this Sunday against the visiting New York Giants in Week 10, according to the team. Odunze played through a heel in last week's win over the Cincinnati Bengals and added an ankle injury on Sunday. The 23-year-old did not practice on Wednesday and was limited on Thursday before upgrading to full practice on Friday. It's good news that he won't be missing this weekend's tilt, but fantasy managers have to be a little concerned that Odunze didn't have a single catch last week despite the team putting up 47 points against a porous Bengals defense. Despite the donut in Week 9, fantasy managers should have Odunze in their starting lineups this weekend, as he's tied for the team lead in targets (31) and leads the Bears in receptions (59), receiving yards (473), and touchdowns (five) in eight games this year.

From RotoBaller

Minnesota Vikings tight end T.J. Hockenson should be considered a low-end TE2 option with his team taking on the Baltimore Ravens in Week 10. The veteran burned his former team, the Detroit Lions, with a touchdown catch last week, but Minnesota completed only 14 passes for 143 yards behind first-time starting quarterback J.J. McCarthy, albeit in a big victory. The Ravens currently rank 10th against half-PPR tight ends, and Baltimore has held its past three opponents to an average of 13 points. In McCarthy's three starts this year, Hockenson has a total of 10 targets, and there could be more bumps in the road with what is effectively a rookie quarterback learning on the fly. Hockenson is still a distant third in the Vikings' passing game pecking order behind receivers Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison, so relying upon the tight end is a tough sell this week.

Cleveland Browns quarterback Dillon Gabriel will come out of his bye to face off against the New York Jets on the road in Week 10. Gabriel has shown a limited fantasy ceiling this season, passing for 702 yards, five touchdowns, and two interceptions in six games (four starts). The Jets have struggled against opposing passing games this season, allowing the 11th-most fantasy points per game, and that was before they traded Sauce Gardner and Quinnen Williams at Tuesday's NFL trade deadline. That being said, the Cleveland offense has been one of the least impressive units in the league. Gabriel settles in as a QB3 in fantasy heading into Week 10 even in a prime matchup against a gutted New York defense.

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy (toe) is officially listed as questionable for the Week 10 game this Sunday against the division-rival Los Angeles Rams, according to Cam Inman of the Bay Area News Group. Inman also reports that Mac Jones will make his eighth start of the year, so if Purdy is active this weekend, it will be in a backup role. The 25-year-old Purdy has yet to practice in full since aggravating a turf-toe injury back in the Week 4 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars, so he won't be given the starting gig back just yet. Purdy is getting closer to playing just his third game of the year, but it's unclear if he'll be back to face the division-rival Arizona Cardinals in Week 11. Fantasy managers who have been stashing him this entire time may be running out of patience, but it's been made clear he's the Niners' starter under center when he's past his turf-toe injury. In his two games played this year, Purdy has gone 48-for-73 passing for 586 yards, four touchdowns, and four interceptions.

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert enters Week 10 aiming to maintain his efficient performance against a Pittsburgh Steelers defense that has shown vulnerabilities through the air. Despite Pittsburgh ranking last in passing yards allowed per game and 27th in fantasy points per dropback on deep passes, they recently improved by beating the league's top offense, the Indianapolis Colts, last week. Herbert's protection remains a significant concern, with tackle Joe Alt out for the season, and the Chargers trading for the inconsistent yet necessary Trevor Penning. The offensive line, which allowed six sacks last week, has forced Herbert (who already leads all quarterbacks in rushing yards) to use his legs to extend plays and gain yardage. After a solid 250-yard, three-touchdown performance, Herbert's efficiency and rushing floor make him a strong start. RotoBaller projects Herbert as QB5 this week, and he remains a high-end QB1.

From RotoBaller

Cleveland Browns running back Quinshon Judkins suffered a shoulder injury in a Week 8 loss to the New England Patriots, but he comes out of his Week 9 bye without an injury designation. He should be in line to handle his normal workload in a Week 10 road matchup against the New York Jets. The Jets have struggled against running backs this season, allowing the seventh-most fantasy points per game to the position. A Tuesday trade of Quinnen Williams to the Dallas Cowboys won't help matters much as New York looks to try to slow down Judkins. The Browns have a good shot at beating or at least keeping things close against the Jets in Week 10, which makes Judkins less likely to see a poor game script limit his touches. He sets up as a low-end RB1 in fantasy heading into Week 10.

Seattle Seahawks tight end AJ Barner (calf) is listed as questionable to play on Sunday against the division-rival Arizona Cardinals in Week 10 due to a calf injury, per ESPN's Brady Henderson. However, Barner has a good chance of being active this weekend after upgrading to a full practice on Friday. He had his reps limited in practice on both Wednesday and Thursday due to a calf issue. The 23-year-old should be active this Sunday against the Cardinals and will continue his role as Seattle's top pass-catching tight end. Barner has taken on a bigger role in the passing time in his sophomore season in 2025, catching 21 of his 26 targets for 236 yards and four touchdowns in eight starts. His next touchdown will be a new season high after he posted a 30-245-4 line in 17 games in 2024. Treat Barner as a TE2 streamer this weekend in fantasy if he's active.
