Five Fantasy Takeaways: Week 10

Player Notes
Justin Fields Nov 10 10:40am CT
Justin Fields

When asked about who will get the starting nod in this Thursday's road matchup with the New England Patriots, head coach Aaron Glenn declined to say whether it'd be quarterback Justin Fields or Tyrod Taylor. Glenn has been playing this game for a few weeks now, and it doesn't appear that he'll relent in doing so. For what it's worth, Glenn noted that he "liked his [Fields] aggressiveness on the interception," presumably insinuating that he enjoyed watching his QB attempt to fit it into a tight window. As it stands, the 26-year-old will likely remain the Jets' signal-caller for the remainder of the season. With that said, it doesn't seem that Glenn is willing to shut the door on the possibility of Taylor playing altogether. Stay tuned, as it likely won't be official until much closer to game time on Thursday.

Garrett Wilson

ESPN's Rich Cimini reports that New York Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson (knee) will undergo imaging on Monday to determine the severity of his injury. The Ohio State alum left Sunday's contest after reaggravating the knee that forced him to miss the previous two games. It's unfortunate news for Wilson, whose team is slated for a quick turnaround on Thursday night against their division rival, the New England Patriots. When asked about his status, head coach Aaron Glenn declined to give a clear outlook, noting, "Hopefully, he'll be good to be able to play this week, but I don't want to stamp that just yet." Things are looking down for Wilson on the short week. Expect an update on him over the next day or so.

Tyler Allgeier Nov 10 10:00am CT
Tyler Allgeier

Atlanta Falcons running back Tyler Allgeier logged 11 carries for 57 yards and a season-high two touchdowns in the team's 31-25 overtime loss to the Indianapolis Colts. While Bijan Robinson managers may view Allgeier as a frustrating timeshare partner, the fourth-year back is quietly becoming fantasy-relevant. In games the Falcons have either won or pushed to overtime, Allgeier has averaged 13.6 carries for 56.5 yards and five touchdowns across four games. With three upcoming games where Atlanta projects as a favorite, Allgeier could continue to provide sneaky fantasy value as a touchdown-dependent flex option for desperate teams.

Jerry Jeudy Nov 10 9:50am CT
Jerry Jeudy

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jerry Jeudy put up his best game of the 2025 season in Week 10, hauling in six of 12 targets for 78 yards and a touchdown in the 27-20 loss to the New York Jets. Despite the return of Cedric Tillman and the Brown struggles in the passing game, Jeudy finally showcased his talent for the first time in the 2025 season. In PPR formats, Jeudy currently ranks as the WR64, averaging 7.5 fantasy points per game. Rookie quarterback Dillon Gabriel is averaging a league-low 5.0 yards per attempt this season, relying heavily on the tight ends in the passing game. Without a quarterback change, Jeudy will continue to be a volatile option in fantasy moving forward.

Jaxson Dart Nov 10 9:50am CT
Jaxson Dart

New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton caught all four of his targets for 89 yards in the team's 24-20 loss to the Chicago Bears. Slayton briefly exited with a hamstring injury but returned in the third quarter to post his highest yardage total of the season. Since Malik Nabers tore his ACL in Week 4, Slayton has had to step up as one of the Giants' primary receiving options. However, rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart left the game with a concussion and is uncertain for Week 11 against the Green Bay Packers. Slayton's fantasy outlook will hinge on Dart's availability, as his production would likely drop if Russell Wilson starts in his place.

Tez Johnson Nov 10 9:40am CT
Tez Johnson

Tampa Bay Buccaneers rookie wide receiver Tez Johnson hauled in four of five targets for 42 yards and two touchdowns in the team's 28-23 loss to the New England Patriots. Since Mike Evans (collarbone) went down, Johnson has emerged as a key piece of the Buccaneers' passing attack, recording at least 40 yards in every game since the injury, and scoring four touchdowns over his last four contests. The rookie from Oregon is averaging 14.2 fantasy points per game since Week 6, ranking 20th among wide receivers during that stretch. With Evans, Chris Godwin, and Jalen McMillan all sidelined, Johnson should remain a featured target for Baker Mayfield moving forward.

Cade Otton Nov 10 9:30am CT
Cade Otton

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cade Otton hauled in nine of 12 targets for 82 yards in Sunday's 28-23 loss to the New England Patriots. Otton set a new career high in targets and tied his career best with nine receptions. With multiple injuries to Tampa Bay's receiving corps, the fourth-year tight end has stepped into a key role. Chris Godwin (fibula) isn't expected back until late November, and Mike Evans (collarbone) remains sidelined, leaving Otton as one of Baker Mayfield's top options alongside Emeka Egbuka. The Buccaneers face the Buffalo Bills in Week 12, a matchup that could feature plenty of scoring opportunities for both teams. With injuries and bye weeks thinning out the tight end options, Otton deserves strong fantasy consideration this week.

Alec Pierce Nov 10 9:20am CT
Alec Pierce

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Alec Pierce hauled in four of seven targets for 84 yards and a touchdown in the team's 31-25 overtime victory over the Atlanta Falcons. Pierce continued to build strong chemistry with quarterback Daniel Jones, logging a season-high 94.8% snap share and finding the end zone for the first time in 2025. Over his last four games, Pierce has averaged an impressive 91.5 receiving yards per game, which leads the NFL since Week 7. As the Colts head into their bye week, the emerging deep threat will look to continue his breakout campaign when they face the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 12.

Parker Washington Nov 10 9:10am CT
Parker Washington

Jacksonville Jaguars second-year wide receiver out of Penn State scored two touchdowns on Sunday in the Jaguars' 36-29 loss to the Houston Texans. One of them came early in the first quarter, a seven-yard strike from quarterback Trevor Lawrence, which put the Jaguars up 10-0. The second came in the second quarter, a 73-yard punt return that put the Jaguars up 17-0. Additionally, Washington led the Jaguars in targets with seven; the next closest was running back Travis Etienne Jr. with three. Although Washington led the team in targets, he was only able to haul in three of them for 33 yards to go with his two touchdowns. For most of the afternoon, he was shadowed by Derek Stingley Jr., who is considered to be one of the best cornerbacks in the game. As long as Travis Hunter (knee) and Brian Thomas Jr. (ankle) continue to miss time, Washington will remain in the low-end WR2 conversation heading into Week 11, when the Jaguars take on the Los Angeles Chargers.

Trey Benson Nov 10 8:50am CT
Trey Benson

Arizona Cardinals' second-year running back out of Florida State, Trey Benson (knee), has missed the last five games with a knee injury, and remains one of, if not the best, IR stash for the 2025 fantasy football rest of season rankings. Benson became the starting running back for the Cardinals in Week 4 after James Conner (foot) was injured and was reported to miss the remainder of the 2025 campaign. Benson had shown flashes of success in his limited snap share with Conner, averaging 5.52 YPC through three games on 21 carries. Bam Knight and Emari Demercado are getting the bulk of the workload right now, but neither has done enough to run away with the job. Benson, upon his return, will immediately provide fantasy managers who held on with RB2 value.

Chris Rodriguez Jr. Nov 10 8:40am CT
Chris Rodriguez Jr.

Washington Commanders running back Chris Rodriguez Jr. (shoulder) exited during the second half of Sunday's Week 10 contest against the Detroit Lions. At the time of his departure, he had six carries for 16 rushing yards and a touchdown, sharing work fairly evenly with Jacory Croskey-Merritt and Jeremy McNichols. Rodriguez Jr. was named team Captain for Sunday's contest, and many reports suggested a potential shift in Commander running back ownership. Still, due to his injury, we couldn't see exactly how things would have played out. Croskey-Merritt ended the game with 11 carries for 30 yards (2.7 YPC), playing most of the second half, while McNichols finished with five carries for 25 yards. The Commanders head to Spain for their Week 11 tilt with the Miami Dolphins, who are bottom-10 against opposing running backs on the season, making Rodriguez Jr. a desperate flex-worthy start, if healthy next week.

Washington Commanders LB Bobby Wagner had nine tackles, including six solo, in a Week 10 loss to the Detroit Lions.

Blake Corum Nov 10 1:13am CT
Blake Corum

Dynasty | Rams running back Kyren Williams had 73 rushing yards, two catches, 11 receiving yards, and two touchdowns in a win against San Francisco. Dynasty Analysis: He had 14 carries and Blake Corum had 13, which is a little concerning. Still, Williams has a nose for the end zone and smelled it twice in this one. He might be a bit of a "sell high" in dynasty leagues based on the emergence of Corum but his ADP and ranking seem pretty secure at the moment.

Jahmyr Gibbs Nov 10 1:13am CT
Jahmyr Gibbs

Dynasty | Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs had 142 rushing yards, three catches, 30 receiving yards and three touchdowns in a win against the Commanders. Dynasty Analysis: He did all this on only 18 touches. It was a ridiculously efficient game for Gibbs, who averaged 9.5 yards per carry and ten yards per catch on the day. We've seen games like this from Gibbs before, so we know it's no fluke. He remains one of the top players in the dynasty format and today just solidified it further.

Jameson Williams Nov 10 1:13am CT
Jameson Williams

Dynasty | Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams had six catches for 119 yards and a touchdown in a win against Washington. Dynasty Analysis: Dan Campbell apparently took over the play calling duties in the game and Williams was clearly a focal point. This was one of the best games he's had all year and if this is the start of something big, the buying window has clearly closed for him in dynasty leagues. He'll remain a WR2/3 with upside at the moment but his dynasty ceiling is about as high as anyone's.

Marvin Harrison Jr. Nov 10 1:13am CT
Marvin Harrison Jr.

Dynasty | Arizona tight end Trey McBride had nine catches for 127 yards and a touchdown in a blowout loss to the Seahawks. Dynasty Analysis: Seattle jumped out to a 35-0 lead in this one and forced Arizona to throw the ball 44 times, which was likely not the plan heading into the game. McBride and Marvin Harrison Jr combined for 25 of those targets and while Harrison (3/33/1) scored, McBride did a little more with his. After a weird streak of touchdown-less game last season, he has now matched his total of six from his first three seasons and that number is bound to increase moving forward. McBride is entrenched as a top-2 dynasty tight end.

Tyler Shough Nov 10 1:13am CT
Tyler Shough

Dynasty | Saints quarterback Tyler Shough completed 19-of-27 passes for 282 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions in a win against Carolina. Dynasty Analysis: OK, then. Shough is obviously on borrowed time as the Saints quarterback unless he puts the team on his back and gets them out of range to draft his replacement next Spring. Today was a step in that direction as he ran the offense and looked pretty comfortable doing it. While it's just one game, Shough has looked markedly better than Spencer Rattler and his ADP and rookie ranking is clearly rising.

Breece Hall Nov 10 1:13am CT
Breece Hall

Dynasty | Jets running back Breece Hall had 83 rushing yards, one catch, 42 receiving yards and a touchdown in a win over the Browns. Dynasty Analysis: Hall should get a 20% point kicker just by playing on the Jets but alas, that's not how fantasy football works. Regardless, Hall reminded us all just how talented he really is as he worked hard to shed tackles and show his speed in the process. After not being traded, Hall is likely auditioning for a solid free agent contract so dynasty managers can expect his effort level to stay consistent as he hunts for a new deal. His ADP slide will end at least for this week.

Jaxson Dart Nov 10 1:13am CT
Jaxson Dart

Dynasty | Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart completed 19-of-29 passes for 242 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions prior to exiting with a concussion in a loss to the Bears. Dynasty Analysis: Dart clearly has what it takes to be an effective NFL quarterback but this injury may keep him out a week or two. You can imagine the Giants will be careful with him in the concussion protocol after they were fined for going through the motions with him and putting him right back in the game a couple of weeks ago. Dart's ADP and rookie ranking are safe and dynasty managers honestly likely hope he can simply sit out a bit as we await the return of his playmakers next season.

From Dynasty League Fantasy

Kimani Vidal Nov 10 1:13am CT
Kimani Vidal

Dynasty | Chargers running back Kimani Vidal had 95 rushing yards, one catch, 13 receiving yards and a touchdown in a win against Pittsburgh. Dynasty Analysis: Vidal has taken the job left by Omarion Hampton and, well, run with it. His production has been solid as he's posted at least 95 rushing yards every time he's had at least 18 carries (three times so far) and the Chargers really haven't missed a beat. While no real threat to Hampton's long-term job, Vidal has played well enough to let Los Angeles take their time in bringing Hampton back. Even then, Vidal has likely earned at least a change-of-pace role upon his return. He belongs on dynasty rosters now even beyond Hampton's return.
