Chicago Bears rookie wide receiver Luther Burden III (concussion) has been cleared from the injury report and will play in Week 10 against the New York Giants, per Kevin Fishbain of The Athletic. Burden was inactive for Chicago's Week 9 win over the Bengals after suffering a concussion in Week 8 against the Ravens, but he will end up only missing one game. The rookie was removed from this week's injury report along with top wideouts D.J. Moore (groin, hip) and Rome Odunze (ankle, heel), which will make it tough to see consistent playing time. The 21-year-old has flashed in his limited opportunities this season, catching 13 of his 15 targets for 171 yards and a touchdown in seven games. Burden is an intriguing upside bet to have stashed on benches, but shouldn't be in most lineups for Week 10.

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (ankle) is officially listed as questionable headed into Sunday's matchup against the Carolina Panthers, according to Katherine Terrell of ESPN. Kamara was a limited participant in every day of practice this week, but he followed a similar pattern last week and was able to play in Week 9 against the Rams. The veteran back has been managing this ankle injury for five weeks now, but hasn't missed any games and should be ready to go in Week 10. However, the lingering ankle issue has likely contributed to his poor production this season, averaging a career-low 3.6 yards per carry and scoring only one touchdown. Some of that can be attributed to New Orleans' poor offensive environment, but it's been a disappointing year regardless for the 30-year-old. Kamara profiles as an RB3/flex option for Week 10 against the Panthers.

Minnesota Vikings running back Aaron Jones Sr. (shoulder, toe) is officially listed as questionable for Week 10's matchup against the Baltimore Ravens, according to Alec Lewis of The Athletic. Jones was able to log two limited practices on Thursday and Friday after opening the week with a DNP on Wednesday. The 30-year-old suffered an AC joint sprain in Minnesota's Week 9 win over the Lions and was forced to leave early, but he is trending in the right direction headed into Week 10. Jones already missed four games earlier this season after being placed on Injured Reserve due to a hamstring injury, but this recent injury shouldn't force him to miss too much time. Jones profiles as an RB3 for Week 10 if he can play, but if he is unable to go, Jordan Mason would be in line to lead the backfield with Zavier Scott mixing in.

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr. (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's divisional matchup against the Houston Texans, per Adam Schefter of ESPN. Thomas suffered a low-grade high-ankle sprain in Jacksonville's Week 9 win over the Raiders, where he caught three of five targets for 55 yards. There was some optimism that Thomas would be able to suit up in Week 10, but the second-year wideout was unable to practice this week and could need a week or two to fully recover. The Jaguars are running thin at the wide receiver position with Thomas out and first-round rookie Travis Hunter (knee) on Injured Reserve. Recent trade acquisition Jakobi Meyers, along with Parker Washington, are likely to lead Jacksonville's passing game in a tough matchup against a stout Houston Texans defense in Week 10.

Chicago Bears running back D'Andre Swift (groin) is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's matchup against the New York Giants, according to Kevin Fishbain of The Athletic. Swift was downgraded to a DNP for Friday's practice session due to a personal reason, but practiced fully on Thursday, signaling that he is trending in the right direction for Sunday. The 26-year-old missed his first game of the season in Chicago's Week 9 win at Cincinnati due to the nagging groin injury. In Swift's absence, rookie Kyle Monangai racked up 198 total yards from scrimmage and figures to be a bigger part of the backfield rotation in future weeks, as indicated by head coach Ben Johnson. The plan is for Swift to be active in Week 10, and he gets a great matchup in his return against a Giants defense that has allowed a league-worst 5.5 yards per carry.

Washington Commanders running back Chris Rodriguez Jr. is primed to take on a bigger workload in Week 10 against the Detroit Lions. Rodriguez was named a team captain for Sunday's matchup, and coming off his best game of the season in Week 9 against the Seahawks, the 25-year-old is poised to see an increased workload. Rodriguez played 35.5% of the team's snaps in Week 9, which was his highest in a game since Week 4, and handled a season-high 12 carries for 65 yards and a touchdown. The third-year back out of Kentucky is a physical, downhill-style runner who has earned more opportunities with how hard he's run in his limited opportunities. Rookie Jacory Croskey-Merritt has led Washington's backfield in carries this season, but struggled over the past four games, averaging just 3.1 yards per carry. Rodriguez is in line to at least split early-down work with Croskey-Merritt in Week 10 and has the potential to emerge as the team's primary ball-carrier.

San Francisco 49ers fourth-year tight end Jake Tonges filled in admirably while teammate George Kittle missed five games with a hamstring injury. However, since Kittle's return, Tonges has seen a total of 16 offensive snaps over the past three weeks. And while he did catch a two-yard touchdown in Week 8, it came on his lone target over that same timeframe. While Kittle has yet to top 4 targets or 45 yards since returning, Tonges no longer appears to have any role in this offense and can confidently be dropped by the select few fantasy managers who might still be holding him. Kittle remains an every-week starter, while the hope remains that the eventual return of quarterback Brock Purdy will put him right back into the weekly TE1 conversation.

Denver Broncos running back J.K. Dobbins (foot) briefly left Thursday night's win over the Raiders after having his foot pinned awkwardly beneath a defender's body during a third-quarter rush attempt. While he was able to return to the game, Dobbins and the team are now awaiting a second opinion to determine the severity of the foot injury. Dobbins has been a workhorse for the Broncos all season long, and in a game bereft of offensive highlights, he still managed a respectable 77 yards on 18 carries. Dobbins will now benefit from the post-TNF mini-bye before a Week 11 matchup with the Chiefs, and then the team's actual Week 12 Bye. If Dobbins is forced to miss time, RJ Harvey becomes the obvious next-man-up. However, having topped seven carries only once this season, there should also be an expectation for Tyler Badie and/or Jaleel McLaughlin to see an expanded role.

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray (foot) has been in the building, working hard, and the expectation is that he should return at some point this season, according to GM Monti Ossenfort. When asked if that meant a return to the starting lineup, Ossenfort was less committal, saying, "A lot can happen" during the four weeks Murray is slated to miss after being placed on IR on Wednesday. The Cardinals are 1-2 in the three games started by Jacoby Brissett, but the offense has taken a notable step forward, with both Marvin Harrison Jr. and Trey McBride benefiting from Brissett's 287 passing yards per game, along with his six touchdowns to only one interception. As he supports the team's primary pass-catchers, Brissett himself has also entered the streaming conversation in deeper leagues and superflex formats.

Cleveland Browns rookie wide receiver Isaiah Bond (foot) will miss Sunday's game against the Jets with a foot injury sustained in the team's Week 8 loss to the Patriots. Following a Week 9 bye, Bond has yet to return to practice and was ruled out of action on Friday. Since accumulating a season-high 58 yards on three catches in Week 4, Bond has made only four catches over his past four games and has been blanked from the stat sheet in the last two. Anyone still holding onto him in redraft leagues can drop him without reservation, and a similar move needs to be at least considered in dynasty leagues, depending on available options on waivers.

Cleveland Browns rookie tight end Harold Fannin Jr. (hamstring) carries a questionable tag into Sunday's Week 10 matchup with the Jets. Fannin was a surprise DNP at Thursday's practice before returning to action on Friday. Through nine weeks, Fannin leads the Browns with 38 catches for 352 yards, and his two receiving touchdowns are tied for the team lead. He has been a reliable outlet throughout the season, but especially since Dillon Gabriel's takeover at quarterback. He has caught at least four passes in each of Gabriel's starts, with both of his touchdowns coming in that span. If active, he should provide a safe floor with a high potential ceiling against a Jets defense that saw two of its best players depart at the trade deadline.

New York Jets head coach Aaron Glenn is refusing to announce his starting quarterback for Sunday's Week 10 contest against the Cleveland Browns, according to Rich Cimini of ESPN. "We'll have a quarterback," Glenn said. The first-year head coach wouldn't even say if he hopes to get to a point where there's an entrenched starter. Cimini writes that Justin Fields is expected to "get the nod" on Sunday after leading the Jets to their first win of the year before their Week 9 bye. Fields probably gives New York its best chance of winning a second straight game over veteran Tyrod Taylor, and he certainly gives fantasy managers more upside as a QB2. However, nothing is official, and Fields won't be all that attractive as a QB2 streamer in fantasy lineups this weekend if he makes another start against a very capable Browns defense that is also coming off a bye.

Cleveland Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski said he expects wide receiver Cedric Tillman (hamstring) to be activated from Injured Reserve on Saturday and play against the New York Jets on Sunday, according to Scott Petrak of Browns Zone. It will be a boost to what has been a rough Browns offense led by rookie quarterback Dillon Gabriel. Tillman has been on IR since injuring his hamstring in Week 4, though, so it wouldn't be a surprise if the 25-year-old is eased back into the fold. However, it's good news for Cleveland's WR room, with rookie Isaiah Bond (foot) looking unlikely to play. When fully healthy, Tillman should serve as the team's WR2 behind Jerry Jeudy, who has really struggled in 2025. Before landing on IR, Tillman had 11 catches on 20 targets for 106 yards and two touchdowns. He's worth a speculative waiver-wire pickup if you're hurting at WR, but we wouldn't recommend starting him in his first game back.

New England Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel announced on Friday that wide receiver Kayshon Boutte (hamstring) will not play this Sunday against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 10 action, per Doug Kyed of the Boston Herald. This was the expectation after Boutte missed practice all week following a hamstring injury he picked up early in last Sunday's win over the Atlanta Falcons. Before the injury, the 23-year-old was on a three-game touchdown streak, so he's worth stashing in fantasy leagues if you have the room. Boutte already has a career-high five touchdown catches and has contributed 23 receptions for 431 yards on 31 targets through nine games in his third NFL season. With Boutte sidelined this weekend, Stefon Diggs will operate as the clear No. 1 wideout, with DeMario Douglas and Mack Hollins also in line for more targets. Rookies Kyle Williams and Efton Chism III will be looking for more snaps as well.

Cleveland Browns rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders (back) will be the team's No. 2 QB on Sunday against the New York Jets in Week 10, according to head coach Kevin Stefanski. Sanders missed the Week 8 loss to the New England Patriots due to back tightness, but he's ready to back up fellow rookie Dillon Gabriel once again coming out of the team's bye week. With the 23-year-old signal-caller back to full health, Bailey Zappe will revert to the QB3 role. Sanders has slowly risen up Cleveland's QB depth chart this year following the trades of Kenny Pickett and Joe Flacco. The Browns want to get an extended look at Gabriel as the starter under center, but it doesn't mean that Sanders won't make his NFL debut for the team later this year. Still, he should only be rostered right now in dynasty/keeper leagues.

New England Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel announced on Friday that running back Rhamondre Stevenson (toe) is ruled out for Week 10 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday, according to Doug Kyed of the Boston Herald. Stevenson will miss a second straight game after injuring his toe in the Week 8 victory over the Cleveland Browns. He has yet to practice since the injury, which means he could be on his way to a third straight missed game on a short week for next Thursday's divisional contest against the New York Jets. With Stevenson officially out again, rookie TreVeyon Henderson will be in line for lead-back duties again this Sunday in Tampa, with Terrell Jennings backing him up. The 23-year-old Henderson will be in play as a plug-and-play RB2 in fantasy lineups. Last week, with Stevenson out, he had a season-high 14 carries for 55 yards and also caught a season-high four passes on six targets for 32 yards.

Carolina Panthers running back Rico Dowdle (quadriceps) was a full participant in Friday's practice and has been cleared to play in Week 10 versus the division-rival New Orleans Saints on Sunday, according to the team. Dowdle did not practice on Wednesday, leading to questions about his availability for the weekend, but head coach Dave Canales made it sound like the team was fully counting on Dowdle to be available against the Saints. He was limited on Thursday before being upgraded to a full practice on Friday, so Dowdle should be fine to once again serve as the team's lead back on Sunday. The 27-year-old has been fantastic out of Carolina's backfield this year, unseating Chuba Hubbard for the RB1 role. In the last five games, Dowdle has gone off with 652 rushing yards and three touchdowns on 103 carries while also adding 10 catches for 112 yards and another score. Start him everywhere in Week 10 in a plus matchup.

Carolina Panthers rookie first-round wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan (hamstring) was added to Friday's injury report with a hamstring injury and is now questionable to play on Sunday against the division-rival New Orleans Saints in Week 10. Head coach Dave Canales said McMillan's hamstring issue "popped up" on Friday. The 22-year-old wasn't listed on the weekly injury report on Wednesday or Thursday. Late-week additions to the injury report are usually never a good thing, so fantasy managers should not be surprised if McMillan is unavailable to play this weekend or limited if he's on the field. In his first NFL season, McMillan has been the Panthers' most consistent pass-catcher, hauling in 41 of his 69 targets for 558 yards and two touchdowns in nine starts. If he cannot go against New Orleans, Xavier Legette and Jalen Coker would be in play as flex options in fantasy leagues, with rookie Jimmy Horn Jr. being elevated to the No. 3 role.

New York Jets head coach Aaron Glenn is non-committal on whether newly acquired wide receivers Adonai Mitchell and John Metchie III will make their debuts with the team in Week 10 on Sunday against the Cleveland Browns, according to Rich Cimini of ESPN. Glenn said that Mitchell is "a true X" receiver who can win in one-on-one matchups, while Metchie is a "master" route-runner out of the slot. Maybe Mitchell and Metchie need more time to study the offensive playbook? The Jets acquired Metchie from the Philadelphia Eagles last week and Mitchell from the Indianapolis Colts at Tuesday's trade deadline. Garrett Wilson (knee) will return this weekend from a knee injury that kept him sidelined for the last few games, but there is an opportunity for both Mitchell and Metchie to carve out roles with Josh Reynolds (hip). But in a bad Jets passing attack, both Mitchell and Metchie aren't much more than deep-league dart throws.

Cleveland Browns rookie tight end Harold Fannin Jr. (hamstring) is back on the practice field on Friday after missing Thursday's session with a hamstring injury, according to Camryn Justice of WEWS. Fannin was a full participant at Wednesday's practice, so his DNP on Thursday raised eyebrows across the fantasy community. The 21-year-old could still be questionable to play this Sunday against the New York Jets, but his return to practice on Friday is a good sign for his availability this weekend. Check back later on Friday for Fannin's official status going into Sunday's contest. If Fannin is active against the Jets, he's pretty much a must-start in fantasy lineups, as he leads the Browns in catches (38), targets (51), and receiving yards (352) through nine weeks. If Fannin is limited or out in Week 10, fellow TE David Njoku would have clear WR1 utility.
