New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson (knee) is working off to the side during Friday's practice and is unlikely to play on Sunday against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 10, according to Mike Reiss of ESPN. Stevenson has been unable to practice since suffering a toe injury in the Week 8 win over the Cleveland Browns, and he's on track to miss a second straight game this weekend. And with a short week upcoming for a tilt next Thursday night against the division-rival New York Jets, Stevenson may be fighting an uphill battle to be ready to play in Week 11. With Rhambo likely to sit against the Buccaneers, rookie TreVeyon Henderson will once again have an expanded role, but Terrell Jennings could once again see valuable touches out of the Pats' backfield. Even with Jennings involved, Henderson will have RB2 upside in fantasy with Stevenson likely out for another week.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Bucky Irving (foot, shoulder) is not practicing again on Friday and will be ruled out for the Week 10 game this Sunday against the New England Patriots, according to FOX Sports' Greg Auman. Even though Tampa is coming off its bye week, Irving is not ready and will miss a fifth straight game this weekend, mainly due to a shoulder subluxation that he's still recovering from. The 23-year-old is also dealing with a left-foot sprain. His next chance to return will come in Week 11 next Sunday on the road against the Buffalo Bills. Irving needs to remain stashed in all fantasy leagues, but he won't be active for Week 10. Rachaad White will once again have plug-and-play value as an RB2 with Irving out, while Sean Tucker will also have an expanded workload as the RB2 for the Bucs this weekend.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin (leg) didn't practice again on Friday and will be ruled out for the Week 10 game against the New England Patriots on Sunday, according to Greg Auman of FOX Sports. Godwin is slowly making progress, but he's still not ready coming out of the bye and will miss a fourth straight game this weekend. ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reported on Thursday that the Bucs are taking their time with the 29-year-old pass-catcher, and he might not return until late November or early December. Tampa is thin at the receiver position with veteran Mike Evans (collarbone) potentially out for the rest of the year, but the team isn't going to rush Godwin back after he suffered a season-ending ankle dislocation in Week 7 of last year. With Godwin out again this Sunday, rookies Emeka Egbuka and Tez Johnson, and Sterling Shepard will work in starting three-wide sets.

Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott said that wide receiver Joshua Palmer (ankle, knee) is questionable to play in Week 10 against the division-rival Miami Dolphins on Sunday, according to Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic. Palmer has been limited in practice all week and is up in the air to make his return this weekend. The 26-year-old hasn't played since Week 6, so even if he gets the green light to suit up this Sunday, he won't be guaranteed significant snaps on offense as WR depth behind Khalil Shakir and Keon Coleman. Palmer hasn't made much of a fantasy impact in his first year in Buffalo to begin with, catching 14 passes for 234 yards and no touchdowns in six games played. Shakir is really the only wideout in Buffalo that is worth weekly starting consideration through nine weeks in 2025.

NFL Network's Cameron Wolfe reports that Buffalo Bills running back James Cook (ankle) is "good to go" for Sunday's matchup with their division-rival Miami Dolphins. Cook missed practice on Wednesday with what has been called an ankle injury, but was elevated to limited on Thursday. While his status for Friday's practice has yet to be disclosed, fantasy managers can breathe a sigh of relief knowing he's ready to rock heading into the weekend. Miami has been one of the worst teams against the rush this season, and one of the friendliest toward fantasy running backs -- yielding the sixth-most fantasy points per game to the position (25.52). Cook owners can comfortably slot him into their lineups as a high-end RB1 in a smash Week 10 spot.

When asked about how the team's backfield split will look in Sunday's road tilt with the Seattle Seahawks, Arizona Cardinals head coach Jonathan Gannon declined to give clear insight. "Similar but not the same," said Gannon. "Maybe a little bit different." It was also noted that he and offensive coordinator Drew Petzing have not discussed which running back will be out there to start the game. Emari Demercado led the team in carries (14) and yards (79) in Week 9. However, it's worth noting that Bam Knight led the duo in snaps (38-27) and was handily out-produced (9/27). As it stands, Gannon could deploy a hot-hand approach, leaving fantasy managers stuck guessing between the two. For what it's worth, Knight has been the snap-leader since teammate Trey Benson (knee) went down with injury. Hopefully, Week 10's clash with Seattle yields further understanding of the situation.

Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews will attempt to string together another viable fantasy performance in Week 10's meeting with the hosting Minnesota Vikings. The return of quarterback <a class="rbPlayer nfl" data-id="19781" href="/nfl/player/19781/LAmar+Jackson">Lamar Jackson boded well for the eighth-year pro last Thursday, as Andrews finished in the top five at his position for the first time since Week 3, and the second time this season. While his volume was minimal (2/22/2), it was encouraging to see Baltimore's offense immediately get back on track. He should see more work in a more competitive game, and Minnesota presents as a beatable matchup -- yielding the twelfth-most fantasy points per game to opposing tight ends (14.86). Either way, Andrews and the entire Ravens' offense are on the rise with the two-time MVP back calling signals.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Sean Tucker should again see a modest workload this weekend when his team takes on the New England Patriots at home. Tucker and backfield mate Rachaad White have both seen their touch shares rise since Week 5, while teammate Bucky Irving (foot, shoulder) has tended to injury. With Irving trending toward being out another game, that should be the case again in Week 10. Tucker found standalone value for the first time this season before Tampa Bay's bye, punching in his second touchdown of the campaign. However, New England poses a far greater challenge than the Saints did the week before. The 24-year-old is on the fantasy radar, but only as a low-end flex asset.

Since returning from a foot injury that delayed his start to the 2025 season, Baltimore Ravens tight end Isaiah Likely has seen minimal usage in his team's passing game. Across five games played, the 25-year-old has hauled in eight catches for 86 yards on nine targets. However, Likely is coming off his best game of the season in Week 9, recording three catches for 60 yards on four targets against the Miami Dolphins. Week 9 was also the first time Likely has shared the field with star Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson for a full game. Across 16 games with Jackson in 2024, Likely recorded 42 catches for 477 yards and six touchdowns on 58 targets. Likely's fantasy ceiling is limited by the presence of veteran Ravens tight end Mark Andrews. However, his stock is trending upwards heading into a Week 10 matchup against the Minnesota Vikings now that Jackson is back in the fold.

Myriad injuries in his team's wide receiver corps have led to Tampa Bay Buccaneers wideout Sterling Shepard playing a larger role in his team's offense than initially expected at the outset of the 2025 season. Through eight games, the 32-year-old has recorded 27 catches for 275 yards and a touchdown on 36 targets. Tampa Bay will remain without Mike Evans (collarbone) and Jalen McMillan (neck) in Week 10 against the New England Patriots. Wide receiver Chris Godwin (leg) has yet to practice this week and also appears to be trending towards missing Week 10. Alongside rookies Emeka Egbuka and Tez Johnson, Shepard should see significant playing time against New England. His ceiling is limited, but Shepard could be a desperation flex option for deep-league fantasy managers in Week 10.

In two games since returning from the ACL tear that ended his 2024 season, Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson (knee) has recorded six catches for 143 yards on eight targets. Watson was listed as a limited practice participant on Thursday, but he's expected to play in his team's Week 10 matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday Night Football. The 26-year-old has looked as explosive as ever so far in 2025, averaging 23.8 yards per reception. Consistent target volume has always been an issue for Watson, but there are some reasons to believe he could see an expanded role in Week 10. Green Bay lost star tight end Tucker Kraft (knee) to a season-ending ACL tear in Week 9, and wide receivers Savion Williams (foot), Matthew Golden (shoulder), and Dontayvion Wicks (calf) were all on Thursday's injury report. Watson also played 66% of the Packers' offensive snaps in Week 9, up from 56% in Week 8. Heading into Week 10, Watson profiles as a high-end WR4/flex option for fantasy managers.

New England Patriots wide receiver DeMario Douglas has had an underwhelming season to this point, recording 18 catches for 262 yards and three touchdowns on 30 targets across nine games. However, Douglas had his best game of the season in Week 9, hauling in four catches for 100 yards and a score on six targets. The 24-year-old could see an expanded role once again in Week 10 against the Atlanta Falcons, as Patriots wideout Kayshon Boutte (hamstring) has yet to practice this week as he battles a hamstring injury that forced him to exit early in Week 9. New England utilizes Douglas almost exclusively from the slot, which does limit his opportunities to see the field. Still, he profiles as a high-end WR4/flex option for fantasy managers in Week 10.

From RotoBaller

Detroit Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams has spent most of the 2025 season looking like a fantasy bust, as he's recorded just 21 catches for 355 yards and three touchdowns on 36 targets across eight games. However, Williams has recorded at least six targets, 66 receiving yards, and a touchdown in two out of his last three outings. The 24-year-old remains the ultimate high-ceiling, low-floor player. Sandwiched in between impressive outings in Week 6 and Week 9 is a zero-catch performance in Week 7. Still, Week 10 against the Washington Commanders looks like it could be a boom matchup for Williams. The Commanders are allowing the most yards per reception (13.1) in the NFL so far this season and will enter Week 10 with multiple key injuries in their secondary. Williams profiles as a solid WR3 option for fantasy managers this week against Washington.

With the news that Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray (foot) will miss at least four more games after being placed on Injured Reserve, veteran signal-caller Jacoby Brissett should have an extended runway as the team's starter. Since being inserted under center for Arizona in Week 6, the 32-year-old has thrown for 860 yards, six touchdowns, and one interception across three games played. Brissett seems to have given the Cardinals' offense new life, as the team is averaging 25.7 points per game in his starts after averaging 20.6 points per contest with Murray under center. Brissett profiles as a mid-tier fantasy QB2 in a tough Week 10 matchup against the Seattle Seahawks. However, Arizona's schedule lightens up a bit after Week 10. If Brissett keeps performing the way he has so far this season, he should provide fantasy managers in two-quarterback formats with consistent starter-level play.

NFL reporter for the Houston Texans, Aaron Wilson, reported on Friday that the Texans will turn to Matthew Wright as their kicker in Week 10 as Ka'imi Fairbairn (quadriceps) is injured and not able to go against their division opponent, the Jacksonville Jaguars. Wright has kicked for multiple NFL teams and was last with the Washington Commanders. He has made 56 of 65 career kicks and 43 of 45 extra points. He has also kicked for the Tennessee Titans, Kansas City Chiefs, San Francisco 49ers, Carolina Panthers, Pittsburgh Steelers, and the Jaguars, Wilson reports. This is a big matchup for the Texans, as a loss will send them further to the bottom of the AFC South standings. The Texans sit at (3-5), while the Jaguars are at (5-3), and both are looking up at the division leaders, the Indianapolis Colts, at (7-2). A win here for the Texans could continue to give them hope down the stretch and help them make a run with a big division win. The Jaguars have allowed the second-fewest points to opposing kickers, making Wright a challenging play in Week 10.

Jordan Raanan, NFL Nation reporter for ESPN who covers the New York Giants, reported that Jameis Winston may be the third-string quarterback, but he didn't want to go anywhere at the trade deadline. The plan is for him to be the New York Giants' backup to Jaxson Dart next season. Winston has been floated as a potential trade target for teams in need of a starting quarterback, given his long-standing pedigree and NFL tenure, starting in 87 total games throughout his career. However, Winston is content in New York and wants to stay with them next season to back up young rookie star Jaxson Dart. This would be a move that would be advantageous for the Giants, considering we have seen second-year (Sophomore Slumps) from quarterbacks in the past. Think CJ Stroud of the Houston Texans in 2024. While it's all speculation, it will give the Giants peace of mind knowing their backup quarterback can still sling the ball. Winston has thrown for 24,225 yards, 154 passing touchdowns, and 111 interceptions.

According to NFL Insider Ian Rapoport, Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels' MRI and medical opinions revealed positive news, as his dislocated left elbow is not as severe as initially anticipated. There was no ligament damage & he won't need surgery, and Daniels will not be immediately placed on Injured Reserve. What a sigh of relief that is for Daniel's long-term outlook and dynasty fantasy managers. Based on initial reports, this was a gruesome on-field injury where medical experts were working to stabilize his arm. While it's too quick to jump to conclusions that he will potentially be back in the 2025 season, Commanders fans and dynasty managers can feel some peace knowing there wasn't any ligament damage or what appears to be an extended absence beyond next season. Marcus Mariota will be under center while Daniels is sidelined, and most pass-catchers such as Terry McLaurin (quad), Deebo Samuel Sr., and Zach Ertz will likely see a dip in their production without Daniels running the offense.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Jayden Reed (collarbone, foot) has been on Injured Reserve since suffering a broken collarbone in Week 2. Reed also underwent foot surgery, so he's recovering from multiple injuries, but might be nearing a return in the next few weeks. This week, he has been spotted on the practice field with no pads, working alongside the wide receivers. From a fantasy perspective, the Packers' expansive receiver room is somewhat clustered, as there is no transparent alpha. Romeo Doubs has led the pack with a 20.8% target share, Matthew Golden with an 11.8% target share, Christian Watson with a 10.8% target share, and even Tucker Kraft (knee), who is done for the year but was breaking out in a big way, was only seeing a 16.8% target share. This pass-catching room is a messy one that will be hard to predict, and throwing Reed back into the mix in a few weeks will only make it more difficult. Reed recorded 55 catches for 857 yards and six touchdowns on 75 targets in 2024. For now, fantasy managers can continue to hold him on their IR, but temper expectations around his return, considering his return is projected to be a week or two before the fantasy playoffs start.

Arizona Cardinals' second-year running back out of Florida State, Trey Benson (knee), missed yet another opportunity to practice on Thursday after it was reported on Wednesday by Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic that head coach Jonathan Gannon did not make it sound likely that running back Benson would return from Injured Reserve to play in Week 10 against the division-rival Seattle Seahawks. This is tough news for fantasy managers who were hoping to get him activated after the four-game minimum from the IR stint. Benson remains a top IR stash for the time being, as they likely will give him the RB1 duties upon his return. Arizona will continue to mix and match in their backfield with Bam Knight, Emari Demercado, and Michael Carter. Right now, Demercado and Knight have some RB3 value while Carter is likely the odd man out based on recent usage.

Denver Broncos running back J.K. Dobbins fought through some pain in the second half as he paced the backfield with touches again, showing great patience and swift cuts in Thursday's 10-7 win against the Las Vegas Raiders in their primetime matchup. With 18 rush attempts on the night, Dobbins worked hard for his 77 yards against a Raiders defense that certainly came to play. Dobbins added one catch for seven yards on a night where quarterback Bo Nix struggled to produce much for the offense. The veteran out-touched running back mate RJ Harvey 19-6 is encouraging for his control in the offense, but notably, Harvey did steal a red-zone possession from Dobbins. Still looking to end the touchdown drought, Dobbins should maintain his healthy floor on a volume basis alone and is an RB2 in Week 11's matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs.
