Pats RB Rhamondre Stevenson, WR Kayshon Boutte ruled out vs. Bucs

Fri Nov 7 2:37pm ET
Field Level Media

The New England Patriots will be without running back Rhamondre Stevenson and wide receiver Kayshon Boutte for Sunday's game at Tampa Bay, head coach Mike Vrabel announced Friday.

Stevenson will miss his second straight game with a toe injury. He's rushed for 279 yards and a team-high three touchdowns in his fifth season with the Patriots. Rookie TreVeyon Henderson made his first career start last week vs. Atlanta and surpassed Stevenson for the team lead in rushing yards with 55 to reach 283 on the year.

Boutte, a sixth-round pick by New England in the 2023 NFL Draft, leads the team in receiving touchdowns (five) and is second in receiving yards (431). He sustained a hamstring injury in the 24-23 win over the Falcons, catching no passes on one target before exiting.

The Patriots are going for their seventh straight win, entering the week tied for the league's best record at 7-2 before the Denver Broncos improved to 8-2 Thursday night. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers (6-2) are tied for the NFC's best record with Philadelphia, Seattle and the Los Angeles Rams entering this game.

Player Notes
Rachaad White Nov 7 5:00pm ET
Rachaad White

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Rachaad White is in line to make another start versus the New England Patriots in Week 10. White came out strong once Bucky Irving (shoulder, foot) went down in Week 4. However, White has been held in check over the last few weeks. In each of the last two games, White has been held to 38 rushing yards or fewer in both contests. The 26-year-old hasn't done much in the receiving game either, so he has been a dud in fantasy leagues over the last few weeks. It's unlikely going to get much better for White this weekend against the Pats who have done a tremendous job at stopping the run this season. Despite that, the Bucs are limited in terms of offensive weapons and will need to get White involved. The 26-year-old should be able to offer RB2 value in PPR formats this weekend.

Sean Tucker

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Sean Tucker saw a season-high 12 touches during the Week 8 win over the New Orleans Saints. Before that, Tucker had seen a minimal role in this offense even with Bucky Irving (shoulder, toe) sidelined over the last few weeks. Tucker rushed 12 times for 42 yards and scored a touchdown in the Week 8 victory. It's unclear how much he'll be involved on the ground against a tough New England Patriots run defense in Week 10. There's not a ton of upside here, but Tucker could offer low-end flex value in certain formats.

Omarion Hampton Nov 7 5:00pm ET
Omarion Hampton

Los Angeles Chargers rookie running back Omarion Hampton (ankle) worked off to the side at Friday's practice, according to Daniel Popper of The Athletic. Hampton appears to be making progress in his recovery after an extended period with no positive updates. The rookie running back was placed on Injury Reserve after suffering an ankle injury in Week 5 against the Washington Commanders. Head coach Jim Harbaugh said on Monday that he doesn't expect Hampton's 21-day practice window to be opened until after the Chargers' Week 12 bye. Second-year back Kimani Vidal has played well in Hampton's absence and will continue to be a decent RB2/flex option until Hampton is activated from IR to take over the RB1 duties in a few weeks.

Garrett Wilson Nov 7 4:50pm ET
Garrett Wilson

New York Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson (knee) is officially listed as questionable for Week 10 against the Cleveland Browns, but he is expected to play, according to Brian Costello of the New York Post. Wilson informed the media that he physically feels great and is all set to return for Sunday. The 25-year-old has been one of the most productive wide receivers in the league despite dealing with poor quarterback play. Wilson has recorded 36 receptions for 395 yards and four touchdowns on 56 targets in six games this season, ranking as WR9 in PPR points per game (16.6). The Jets' star wideout should reclaim his heavy target share in Week 10 against a tough Cleveland Browns defense.

Baker Mayfield Nov 7 4:50pm ET
Baker Mayfield

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield was off to an excellent start to the season, but has been held in check lately. In Week 8, Mayfield completed 15-of-24 passing attempts for 152 yards with zero touchdowns and zero interceptions in the win over the New Orleans Saints. He has been banged up lately, but is hopefully close to 100 percent healthy after the bye last week. The hope is that Mayfield will be able to get back to his QB1 ways against the New England Patriots in Week 10. The Bucs are limited with offensive weapons, but that hasn't stopped Mayfield before. Fantasy managers should plug in Mayfield as a QB1 for this weekend.

Roschon Johnson Nov 7 4:40pm ET
Roschon Johnson

Chicago Bears tight end Cole Kmet (concussion) and running back Roschon Johnson (back) have both been cleared from the injury report and are good to go for Sunday's matchup against the New York Giants. Kmet suffered the concussion during Chicago's Week 9 win at Cincinnati and won't miss any additional time after clearing the league's concussion protocol and practicing in full on Thursday and Friday. Rookie tight end Colston Loveland broke out for 118 yards and two touchdowns in his absence, and will likely eat into Kmet's snaps moving forward. Johnson, on the other hand, missed time at the beginning of the season with a foot injury and has been sidelined for the past two games with a back injury. The 24-year-old practiced in full on Friday and appears set to make his return as the Bears' RB3 behind D'Andre Swift and rookie Kyle Monangai in Week 10.

Luther Burden III Nov 7 4:20pm ET
Luther Burden III

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.

Alvin Kamara Nov 7 4:10pm ET
Alvin Kamara

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.

Aaron Jones Nov 7 4:00pm ET
Aaron Jones

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.

Brian Thomas Jr. Nov 7 3:50pm ET
Brian Thomas Jr.

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.

D'Andre Swift Nov 7 3:40pm ET
D'Andre Swift

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.

Chris Rodriguez Jr. Nov 7 3:20pm ET
Chris Rodriguez Jr.

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.

Jake Tonges Nov 7 3:10pm ET
Jake Tonges

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.

J.K. Dobbins Nov 7 3:00pm ET
J.K. Dobbins

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.

Kyler Murray Nov 7 2:40pm ET
Kyler Murray

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.

Isaiah Bond Nov 7 2:30pm ET
Isaiah Bond

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.

Harold Fannin Jr. Nov 7 2:20pm ET
Harold Fannin Jr.

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.

Justin Fields Nov 7 2:00pm ET
Justin Fields

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.

Cedric Tillman Nov 7 1:40pm ET
Cedric Tillman

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.

Kayshon Boutte Nov 7 1:30pm ET
Kayshon Boutte

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.
