When the Dallas Cowboys and Green Bay Packers agreed to the blockbuster Micah Parsons trade this past summer, the Cowboys added a clause that essentially prevents the Packers from trading Parsons to the Philadelphia Eagles or any NFC East team. According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, if the Packers trade Parsons to the Eagles in 2025 or 2026, the Packers would owe the Cowboys a first-round pick. The two teams applied the same condition to Kenny Clark, who was traded to Dallas as part of the deal and must stay out of the NFC North for the next two seasons. The clause was added due to Parsons' interest in returning to Pennsylvania to play for the Eagles. This specific trade condition initially flew under the radar, but opposing teams started to take notice when exploring the NFL's internal draft pick database ahead of the trade deadline. When the Cowboys traded multiple draft picks for Quinnen Williams at the deadline, they were prohibited from including their 2028 first-round pick in trade talks, as Dallas has to keep that selection in case they end up trading Clark. Similarly, the Packers would not have been allowed to include their 2028 first-round pick in trade talks.

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Cooper Kupp (hamstring, heel) has a better chance to play in Week 10 than he did last week, but his status remains up in the air, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. It appears that Kupp, who was listed as questionable, will be a true game-time decision for Sunday's contest against the Cardinals. Fantasy managers should check back for confirmation on Kupp's status when the Seahawks post their list of inactive players at 2:35 p.m. ET. Jaxon Smith-Njigba remains the No. 1 receiver in Seattle, and newcomer Rashid Shaheed would have the No. 2 receiver spot all to himself if Kupp doesn't play.

Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels' dislocated left elbow is "not as serious as initially feared," according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero. Daniels won't require surgery, but his exact timeline is uncertain. On one hand, the Commanders chose not to place him on injured reserve, leaving the door open for him to return within the next four weeks. On the other hand, Pelissero notes that Daniels' injury could be season-ending. The Commanders have a Week 12 bye, at which point the team plans to re-evaluate the second-year quarterback. In addition to considering his health and recovery, the Commanders may also weigh their playoff status. If their playoff hopes are slipping away by Week 12, they could exercise caution and give Daniels extra time to recover. In the meantime, Marcus Mariota will handle starting quarterback duties for Washington.

Arizona Cardinals running back Emari Demercado posted his best performance of the season during last week's win over the Dallas Cowboys. Demercado saw a season-high 14 carries for 79 yards in the Week 9 victory. Before that, Demercado saw only a few carries in the backfield, but figures to have earned a larger role in the backfield. It's worth noting the Cardinals are operating a three-back committee with Michael Carter and Bam Knight involved as well. It seems like the team goes with the hot-hand in the backfield which is Demercado right now. Fantasy managers in desperate need of help for Week 10 might want to consider Demercado as a possible flex option.

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle was reportedly on the trade block ahead of the trade deadline. The Dolphins view Waddle as part of their future, but they at least wanted to listen to offers. It doesn't sound like the Dolphins planned to move Waddle unless they were blown away with an offer. The highest bidder for Waddle was the Buffalo Bills who offered a first-round pick for him. The Dolphins declined that offer as they clearly don't want to deal their star to their division rival. It remains to be seen if the Dolphins will keep Waddle through the offseason, but it appears the price is higher than a first-round pick.

Indianapolis Colts defensive back Sauce Gardner will make his team debut against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 10. Despite a fast turnaround, the Colts believe Gardner is a quick study and is able to grasp the defensive gameplan for this game. As expected, Gardner will shadow Atlanta Falcons' top wide receiver Drake London during their Week 10 contest. The Colts gave up two first-round picks for Gardner, so it's not shocking to see him thrown at the best receiver right away. Gardner is an elite defensive back, so he should be able to handle himself.

Indianapolis Colts running back DJ Giddens is a healthy scratch ahead of the Week 10 matchup against the Atlanta Falcons. Giddens won't be active for the third straight game as he hasn't played since Week 7. The Colts will ride with Tyler Goodson and Ameer Abdullah as the backups to Jonathan Taylor. So far this season, Giddens has rushed the ball 18 times for 66 yards with zero touchdowns. He could be worth stashing in dynasty leagues, but doesn't need to be rostered outside of that.

New York Giants running back Devin Singletary will take a backseat to Tyrone Tracy Jr. during the upcoming Week 10 matchup against the Chicago Bears. The Giants are looking for a stable option in the backfield with Cam Skattebo (ankle) done for the season. Last week, Singletary rushed eight times for 43 yards in the loss to the San Francisco 49ers. Tracy only saw five carries during that game, but figures to see an increased workload this weekend. This seems like a frustrating situation for fantasy managers going forward. It doesn't seem like the Giants have a clear gameplan for their backfield at the moment. That being said, Singletary isn't anything more than a low-end flex option for Week 10.

New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton is coming off his best performance of the season last week. Slayton hauled in five of his seven targets for a season-high 62 yards in the loss to the San Francisco 49ers. The Giants are lacking playmakers with the injuries piling up on offense. That being said, Slayton and Wan'Dale Robinson should continue being the primary targets in the passing attack. Slayton will get a plus-matchup in Week 10 against the Chicago Bears defense that struggles to contain the passing attack. After his performance last week, Slayton should be viewed as a WR3 in PPR formats for this weekend.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Rachaad White will remain as the lead back for at least one more week. White is set to make his fifth straight start with Bucky Irving (shoulder, toe) ruled out for this Week 10 matchup against the New England Patriots. During that time, White has seen a significant increase in playing time which has resulted in increased fantasy value. The downside is, White really hasn't found much success on the ground with 41 rushing yards or fewer in three of those four games. He comes into a tough matchup against a Pats defense that has done well against the run. The 26-year-old will likely need to get involved through the air in order to offer RB2 value this weekend.

Chicago Bears running back Kyle Monangai put himself on the map with a tremendous performance against the Cincinnati Bengals last week. Monangai rushed a season-high 26 times for 176 yards on the ground. He didn't stop there as hauled in three of his five targets for 22 additional yards through the air. It's worth noting that the increased workload was due to D'Andre Swift (groin) being unavailable to play. Swift currently holds a questionable tag for Week 10. That being said, Monangai could be in line for another large workload against the struggling New York Giants defense in Week 10. If Swift is active, Monangai should still offer RB3 value. However, Monanagi is a legitimate RB1 play if Swift is unable to go. Fantasy managers will need to check back closer to kick-off for another update.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cade Otton has seen his involvement in the offense increase over recent weeks. During the first four weeks, Otton was a dud, including two games where he was held without a catch. Since then, Otton has become a viable fantasy option and figures to keep doing that in Week 10. Coming into this game, Otton has at least four receptions or more and 40-plus receiving yards in each of his last four contests. The Bucs continue to be shorthanded on offense and Otton has stepped up and delivered for them. Fantasy managers should continue to ride with Otton as a TE2 for the upcoming matchup against the New England Patriots.

Washington Commanders running back Chris Rodriguez Jr. is coming off his best performance of the season last week. In Week 9, Rodriguez rushed a season-high 12 times for 65 yards and scored a touchdown in the loss to the Seattle Seahawks. Finally, the Commanders have decided to give Rodriguez a chance and he proved he's up for the challenge. He figures to at least split the early-down work with Jacory Croskey-Merritt while Jeremy McNichols handles the pass-down duties. It's not a favorable situation for fantasy managers, but Rodriguez is looking like the best of the bunch right now. He'll be worth a look as a flex option in deep leagues for Week 10.

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Parker Washington is expected to have an expanded role during Sunday's game against the Houston Texans. The Jags will be without both Brian Thomas Jr. (ankle) and Travis Hunter (knee) during this Week 10 matchup. That means, Jakobi Meyers, Washington, and Dyami Brown should be the primary wideouts this weekend. Last week, Washington secured eight of his nine targets for 90 yards in the win over the Las Vegas Raiders. The 23-year-old has seen 19 targets over his last two games. He has shown enough on the field lately to be plugged in as a flex option for Week 10.

ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that Green Bay Packers wide receiver Savion Williams (foot) has been labeled as questionable for the team's home clash with the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday Night Football. The TCU product joins fellow wide receivers Matthew Golden (shoulder) and Dontayvion Wicks (calf) on the injury report, as all three have garnered the questionable tag. With Wicks out the previous two contests, Williams had seen his snap share rise slightly. That said, he operated fifth in that regard, commanding just three targets (3/20/1) across the sample. If all three wideouts wind up being inactive, teammates Christian Watson, Romeo Doubs, and Malik Heath would man Green Bay's pass-catching corps as the only receivers without a designation.

According to Dan Salomone of Giants.com, the New York Giants have elevated wide receiver Ray-Ray McCloud III from the practice squad to the active roster ahead of Sunday's matchup with the hosting Chicago Bears. McCloud III will suit up for a second consecutive game for the Giants after joining the squad roughly two weeks ago. In his debut, the 29-year-old played the second-most snaps of all New York wideouts (91%). However, he was targeted just once (1/5). While he may boast more work as he becomes more comfortable in his new surroundings, the Giants' passing offense has not found consistent success supporting multiple fantasy wide receivers. McCloud III will rank as RotoBaller's PPR WR88 for his clash with Chicago.

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Cooper Kupp (hamstring, heel) is expected to be active for Sunday's home tilt with the Arizona Cardinals, according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. Despite being listed as questionable while dealing with multiple injuries, the veteran should make his return from a one-game absence in Week 10. However, he'll be faced with more target competition, as the team added former New Orleans Saints wide receiver Rashid Shaheed at Tuesday's trade deadline. Kupp has played a clear second fiddle to running mate Jaxon Smith-Njigba in 2025, and the acquisition of Shaheed stands to dent his impact further. Look for him to stay involved while his new teammate is worked into the offense, but the 32-year-old is trending down.

Cleveland Browns tight end Harold Fannin Jr. (hamstring) is expected to play on Sunday versus the New York Jets. The 21-year-old didn't practice on Thursday and was limited on Friday, resulting in a questionable designation. However, it doesn't appear as if he was in any real danger of missing the meeting with the Jets. Fannin is currently the team's top receiving option. In eight games, he's amassed 38 receptions (51 targets) for 352 yards and two touchdowns, making him a starting fantasy option in all formats, even with the expected return of Cedric Tillman (hamstring).

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Cedric Tillman (hamstring) is expected to play in Week 10 against the Jets. The wideout appeared in only four games this season, amassing 11 receptions (20 targets) for 106 yards and two touchdowns. Unfortunately, he injured his hamstring and has been sitting on the shelf for over a month. Tillman practiced in full everyday this week, so his activation from the Injured Reserve list on Saturday wasn't surprising. All things considered, it's unknown if he'll be limited in his first game back. However, Tillman's presence may be enough to lower the ceiling of Jerry Jeudy and David Njoku. That would apply to Harold Fannin Jr. (hamstring), who is also in line to suit up versus New York.

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan (hamstring) is expected to play in Sunday's game versus the New Orleans Saints. He showed up on Friday's injury report because of a hamstring issue, resulting in a questionable designation. Fortunately, it appears fantasy managers will have him out there in Week 10. The rookie has played well this season despite only scoring two touchdowns, amassing 41 catches (69 targets) for 558 yards, making him a viable fantasy option in any format for the favorable matchup with the Saints. His presence in the lineup could also make life easier for Bryce Young, who is coming off a rough showing in Week 9 against the Green Bay Packers.
