This Sunday, Chicago Bears rookie quarterback Caleb Williams presents a risky yet intriguing fantasy option as he faces the New England Patriots. After a disappointing performance in Week 9 against the Arizona Cardinals, where Williams completed 22 of 41 passes for 217 yards with no touchdowns, he's eager to bounce back and prove his potential. The Patriots' defense offers an opportunity for redemption, as they rank 22nd in the league for passing yards allowed and 21st in scoring defense. While Williams has shown flashes of promise, his inconsistency makes him a boom-or-bust play in fantasy this week. Still, with the Patriots struggling against the pass, Williams could thrive if he finds his rhythm. For fantasy managers looking for upside, he could be a high-risk, high-reward option in Week 10, especially if you're in need of a quarterback to take a gamble on.

Chicago Bears running back D'Andre Swift is primed to be a strong RB2 option in fantasy this Sunday as the Bears take on the New England Patriots. After a solid performance in Week 9, where Swift rushed for 51 yards on 16 carries and added six receptions for 31 yards, he should be in line for another productive outing. The Patriots' defense has struggled against the run this season, ranking 26th in rushing yards allowed and 21st in scoring defense. This sets up an excellent opportunity for Swift to take advantage of a vulnerable defense and produce solid fantasy numbers. With his involvement in both the running and passing game, Swift offers a high floor and plenty of upside for fantasy managers. If you're looking for reliable production from your RB2 slot, Swift should be in your lineup for Week 10.

New Orleans Saints "tight end" Taysom Hill had his most productive game of the season against the Panthers in Week 9. In the loss, he turned in season highs in receptions (four) and receiving yards (41), had five carries for 19 yards, and scored a touchdown, his third this year. The uptick in usage resulted from the Saints' wide receiver and running back depth charts stretched thin due to injuries. The same challenge is present in Week 10, with Chris Olave (concussion) and Cedrick Wilson Jr. (shoulder) declared out and running back Jamaal Williams (groin) questionable. Hill should factor in once again as the Saints cannot run their entire offense through Alvin Kamara alone. Tight end streamers or managers feeling the pinch of a bye week can plug Hill in as the circumstances around him give him top-12 potential.

New Orleans Saints tight end Juwan Johnson tied for the second most receiving yards on the team in Week 9 against the Panthers. Sadly, all he needed for that distinction was 41 yards. On the season, Johnson now has 20 receptions for 225 yards with one touchdown. In Week 10, Johnson and the Saints take on the Atlanta Falcons in an NFC South rivalry game. The matchup offers no special advantage to Johnson. Atlanta has seen only two touchdowns go to opposing tight ends this season and lands in the middle of the pack in terms of receptions and receiving yards allowed to the position. With the Saints' offense decimated by injuries, Johnson may be in line for an uptick in work but the same could have been said about his situation in Week 9 and nothing substantial came to fruition. He can be left on the wire in Week 10.

New Orleans Saints kicker Blake Grupe went 3-for-3 on field goal attempts in Week 9. Grupe got off to an early start, hitting tries from 29 and 31 yards out in the first quarter, and then nailed a 51-yarder in the third. He also converted his lone extra point attempt on the day. To date, Grupe is 16-for-17 on field goals and 19-for-21 on extra points and ranks in the top 12 in fantasy points. In Week 10, he will take the field against the Atlanta Falcons, which has allowed the most fantasy points to opposing kickers this season. That offers an upside to Grupe, who already represents a fairly stable floor. Remove his highest and lowest fantasy scores in 2024 and he averages seven fantasy points per game. Grupe is widely available and is worthy of a start for managers seeking help at kicker in Week 10.

The New Orleans Saints D/ST didn't do much for fantasy managers in Week 9 against one of the league's worst teams. Last week they allowed 23 points to Carolina and could muster just one sack and a single interception against the Panthers. This doesn't bode well for Sunday's matchup against the high-flying offense of the Atlanta Falcons. Even though Drake London (hip) is questionable, quarterback Kirk Cousins has shown great chemistry with Darnell Mooney and the other pieces of Atlanta's offense. Atlanta's offense has averaged 24.6 points per game and allowed just four pressures on 34 dropbacks in their last game. New Orleans traded away star defensive back Marshon Lattimore at the deadline earlier this week and will be missing rookie Kool-Aid McKinstry (hamstring), leaving their secondary vulnerable to Atlanta's air attack. With the Saints already struggling they are a bad bet for fantasy use in Week 10.

The New York Giants Defense heads into Week 10 against the Carolina Panthers with a strong pass rush and a top red-zone defense. The Giants lead the NFL with 35 sacks this season, which could create significant pressure on rookie QB Bryce Young, whose Panthers rank 30th in passing yards (176.6 per game) and points scored (16.3 per game). Despite allowing 142.6 rushing yards per game (29th), the Giants' pass defense remains solid, ranking 9th overall by limiting opponents to 191.6 yards per game through the air. With Carolina struggling as the league's 30th-ranked offense, the Giants' 5th-ranked red-zone defense (44% TD conversion allowed) has a prime opportunity to stifle scoring chances, making them a viable streaming option for fantasy managers in Munich.

New Orleans Saints quarterback Derek Carr returned to action in Week 9 after an oblique injury sidelined him for the previous three weeks. In his return, he went 18-for-31 for 236 yards and one touchdown against the Panthers. It was the first time since Week 1 (also against Carolina) that Carr escaped a game without throwing an interception. In Week 10, Carr will face the Atlanta Falcons, who represent a somewhat forgiving matchup. Atlanta has given up 15 passing touchdowns in 2024 and has fewer sacks (nine) than any other team in the league. The biggest obstacle Carr will have to overcome on Sunday is the lack of healthy receivers. Chris Olave (concussion) and Cedrick Wilson Jr. (shoulder) are the latest of the Saints' pass catchers to be sidelined due to injury, leaving Carr the likes of rookies Mason Tipton and Jermaine Jackson, and journeyman Marquez Valdes-Scantling. Calling Carr a QB2 this week is generous given his circumstances and he should only be considered in two-quarterback formats.

Running back Alvin Kamara was the primary beneficiary of the New Orleans Saints offense being depleted by injuries in Week 9. Kamara ceded five carries to Taysom Hill but set new season-highs with 29 attempts for 155 rushing yards. With multiple receivers out, including an early exit by Chris Olave (concussion), Kamara's ability as a receiver took on added importance and he led the team in receptions and yardage, too. In Week 10, the situation is largely the same with Williams designated as questionable, Olave still ailing, and Cedrick Wilson Jr. (shoulder) also declared out. Thus, Kamara is in line for another big workload as both a runner and receiver against the Falcons. When the NFC South rivals squared off in Week 4, Kamara came away with 26 touches, 119 total yards, and a touchdown. He is a must-start in Week 10.

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Cedrick Wilson Jr. (shoulder) has been declared out for the team's Week 10 game against the Atlanta Falcons. Wilson picked up his shoulder injury during last week's loss to the Panthers but was able to return to the game. He ended up not practicing and will now be sidelined along with Chris Olave (concussion), leaving the Saints quite thin at wide receiver. Mason Tipton, Marquez Valdes-Scantling, and Jermaine Jackson will see their roles enhanced, though they are unlikely to make an impact in fantasy. So far this season Wilson has caught 11 of his 14 targets for 122 yards and one touchdown.

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Mason Tipton suddenly finds himself at the top of the team's depth chart going into Week 10. Chris Olave (concussion) and Cedrick Wilson Jr. (shoulder) have both been declared out on the team's final injury report for their game against the Atlanta Falcons, paving the way for Tipton to step in as the Saints' WR1. What he does with the opportunity is another question. In the wake of Olave's early exit last Sunday, Tipton was targeted just three times and had zero catches despite being on the field for 78% of the team's offensive snaps. Tipton had close to an 80% snap share in the two previous weeks as well but saw little production. Over the last three weeks, the rookie out of Yale has eight catches on 14 targets for 59 receiving yards. It is hard to trust that Tipton will break out in Week 10 as there is little separating him from Marquez Valdes-Scantling or Jermaine Jackson. Looking like a WR5, Tipton can be on the wire in most leagues but makes for a dart-throw flex in deep leagues.

Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker will face the Denver Broncos in Week 10. Butker nailed all four kicks in Week 9 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Chiefs kicker split the goalposts on his only extra-point attempt and all three field goal attempts, with a long of 40 yards in the contest. Butker has now gone three straight games without missing a single kick. The Chiefs taking on the Broncos could mean more opportunities for Butker this week. The Denver defense is a strong unit, which could prevent Kansas City from scoring many touchdowns in this contest. The Chiefs may rely upon Butker more this week as he has not had more than two field goal attempts in a game since Week 5. Butker is ranked sixth-best kicker in our RotoBaller rankings this week, so fantasy managers should continue starting him.

The Kansas City Chiefs defense will take on the Denver Broncos in Week 10. The Kansas City defense gave up 24 points last week against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers but still managed to rack up two sacks. The Chiefs have collected 17 sacks in eight games this season, but that may be difficult in Week 10. Broncos quarterback Bo Nix has been sacked 15 times this season, fewer times than Patrick Mahomes has been brought down. Nix has shown his ability as a rusher this season, ranking fifth in rushing yards among quarterbacks. That said, Kansas City has been among the best defenses at stopping the run, and they're aware of Nix's rushing ability. If the Chiefs continue their run-stopping ways, they should be able to contain the Broncos offense. The Chiefs former first-round pick, George Karlaftis, was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice but practiced fully the rest of the week and does not carry an injury designation heading into the contest. Karlaftis is a vital piece of the defensive unit, so it's positive news that he has been removed from the injury report. This week, the Kansas City defense is ranked as the fourth-best defense in our RotoBaller rankings, so they are among the best options. Fantasy managers should start them confidently.

From RotoBaller

Kansas City Chiefs running back Kareem Hunt will face the Denver Broncos in Week 10. Hunt is coming off another solid performance, totaling 106 yards and a touchdown against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Hunt played a vital role in the Chiefs 30-24 overtime win, as he was the one who crossed the goal line to end it. The Chiefs lead back will take on the Broncos, who rank 20th in fantasy points allowed to opposing running backs this season. The Denver defense is tougher on the pass than the run, so Hunt should see another sizeable workload in this contest. Hunt logged a limited practice on Wednesday with a quad injury but practiced fully the rest of the week and does not have an injury designation for the game. Hunt is ranked RB16 in our RotoBaller Half-PPR rankings this week, making him a high-end RB2 option in this matchup. Expect Hunt to get at least 20 carries again in this contest with a good chance of finding the endzone.

From RotoBaller

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins will match up against the Denver Broncos in Week 10. Hopkins had a strong performance in his first full game as a Kansas City Chief last week. The veteran receiver hauled in eight catches for 86 yards and two touchdowns in the Week 9 win against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Buccaneers are among the most favorable matchups for wide receivers, but Hopkins will not be so fortunate this week. The Broncos rank ninth in fantasy points allowed to opposing wide receivers this season, so Hopkins will likely have less success in this matchup. Hopkins will often face All-Pro cornerback Patrick Surtain II in this contest, limiting his upside. That said, Hopkins is ranked WR18 in our RotoBaller Half-PPR ranking this week. Fantasy managers should start Hopkins as a mid-tier WR2 this week despite the matchup.

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Xavier Worthy will face the Denver Broncos in Week 10. Worthy is coming off his worst performance of the season in Week 9 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Despite the favorable matchup against Tampa Bay, the rookie receiver finished the game with zero catches and negative yardage. Worthy should have scored on a deep ball in the first quarter but did not get both feet down in bounds. It was the first game of Worthy's career that he did not register a single reception. The good news is it's only up from here. The bad news is the Broncos rank ninth in fantasy points allowed to opposing wide receivers this season. Worthy needs to demonstrate his ability to be a reliable pass catcher to become a relevant option in the Kansas City offense, but he has not done that yet. Worthy is ranked WR40 in our RotoBaller Half-PPR rankings this week, placing him firmly in the flex range. Fantasy managers should view the Chiefs rookie as nothing more than a desperation flex option in this matchup.

From RotoBaller

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes will take on the Denver Broncos in Week 10. Mahomes is coming off his best fantasy performance of the season, passing for 291 yards and three touchdowns against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Buccaneers defense has allowed huge performances to opposing offenses all season, so this week will be more challenging for the Chiefs quarterback. The Denver Broncos rank sixth in fantasy points allowed to opposing quarterbacks this season, making them one of the toughest matchups. Mahomes has been trending up in the past few weeks, and that trend could continue as he builds more chemistry with DeAndre Hopkins. Mahomes found himself on the injury report earlier this week with an ankle injury but practiced fully all week and does not have an injury designation for the game. Mahomes is ranked QB10 in our RotoBaller rankings this week, making him a low-end QB1 in this matchup. Given his recent success, fantasy managers should start Mahomes this week but temper expectations in a difficult matchup.

From RotoBaller

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce will take on the Denver Broncos in Week 10. Kelce is coming off a season-best performance against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 9. The veteran tight end had 14 catches on 16 targets for 100 yards in the 30-24 overtime win. Kelce will transition from facing one of the most favorable matchups to one of the toughest. The Broncos rank 10th in fantasy points allowed to opposing tight ends this season, so Kelce will have his work cut out for him. That said, Kelce is among the few elite tight ends with a strong guaranteed workload every week. Kelce is ranked TE2 in our RotoBaller Half-PPR rankings this week in a difficult matchup, but fantasy managers should feel great about starting him every week.

San Francisco 49ers rookie wide receiver Ricky Pearsall is in Tampa for a Week 10 matchup against the Buccaneers on Sunday. The 31st-overall pick in the 2024 draft will be playing in just his third game as a pro after an impressively short recovery from being shot in the chest as the victim of an armed robbery. Pearsall has a bright future but will be running as a third receiver this week with Deebo Samuel Sr. (rib/oblique) and Jauan Jennings (hip) expected to play. The 49ers are also welcoming back Christian McCaffrey (Achilles), and tight end George Kittle is healthy so targets will be hard to come by. Tampa Bay's pass defense hasn't been good, so the matchup is there for deeper-league managers looking to strike gold, but Pearsall should be considered a WR4 on Sunday, considering San Francisco's expected hierarchy.

The New England Patriots defense remains an unreliable fantasy option heading into Week 10 against the Chicago Bears and their No. 1 pick quarterback, Caleb Williams. The Patriots' defense has several playmakers, but the unit's productivity has been underwhelming so far. New England has forced just five turnovers through nine weeks while allowing an average of 23.4 points per game. Even against the Bears and Williams, who has seven turnovers this year, the Patriots' defense cannot be trusted to make a real impact. They've tallied the eight-fewest fantasy points among D/ST units and remains off the radar this Sunday.
