Atlanta Falcons (3-5) vs. Indianapolis Colts (7-2) (Berlin)

Sunday, 9:30 a.m. ET

FanDuel odds: Colts -6.5, Total 48.5

Series Rewind: The Colts are 15-3 all-time against the Falcons but Atlanta won the most recent meeting, 29-10 on Christmas Eve 2023, behind QB Taylor Heinicke.

The first ever NFL game in Berlin pits two teams who have done the passport football thing a time or two. The Falcons are 2-2 all-time in international games and the Colts are bringing the league's No. 1 scoring offense (32.2 ppg) to Germany after previously playing in Frankfurt. Indianapolis arrives with a bit of novelty having added All-Pro CB Sauce Gardner at the trade deadline. The Colts also are trying to rebound from a five-turnover showing by the offense in a loss to the Steelers last week. QB Daniel Jones started a November game in Germany with the Giants in 2024 before New York pulled the plug on his tenure with the team. Jones passed for 342 yards last week. He'll attempt to get more out of his backfield running mate Jonathan Taylor to keep the Falcons' speed rushers off-balance. When Taylor is clicking, the Colts' excel with RPO-driven options that demand disciplined reads from a defense and open throwing lanes underneath where rookie TE Tyler Warren is thriving. He's second in the league at the position with 518 receiving yards. Taylor leads the NFL with 12 touchdowns and is second in yards from scrimmage (1,113). He's just ahead of Falcons RB Bijan Robinson (1,058), who ranks third in the league. QB Michael Penix Jr. and WR Drake London hooked up for three TD passes in Week 9. London has been used some in the slot, which might take away the potential for a one-on-one matchup with Gardner.

New York Giants (2-7) at Chicago Bears (5-3)

Sunday 1 p.m. ET

FanDuel odds: Bears -4.5, Total 46.5

Series Rewind: This is the first meeting since the Giants 20-12 win in 2022 in New Jersey trimmed the Bears' advantage in the all-time series to 36-25-2, which includes Chicago 5-3 edge in the playoffs.

Forecast-watchers are anxious for a slight chance of snow during the game, but the weather might play a role even without precipitation with wind gusts projected to touch 30 mph and wind chill around 27 degrees. It could be a day for running backs, and a problematic scenario if either team falls behind to be forced into a must-pass gear offensively. The Bears lead the NFL in turnover margin (plus-13) and takeaways (19). They are preparing for rookie QB Jaxson Dart and what is morphing into a two-RB approach with Devin Singletary (151 yards from scrimmage last week) and Tyrone Tracy Jr. WR Wan'Dale Robinson has continued to produce with Malik Nabers (knee) out for the season. Robinson has 18 games with five-plus catches since 2003. The Bears could be using more than one back this week, too, after rookie seventh-rounder Kyle Monangai racked up 198 total yards from scrimmage at Cincinnati last week. D'Andre Swift was out last week with a groin injury. The Bears added former first-round pick Joe Tryon-Shoyinka at the deadline on Tuesday in a trade with the Browns. He joins a pass rush anchored by Montez Sweat that opens playmaking alleys for the LB corps. Tremaine Edmunds has four interceptions and S Kevin Byard III has picked off passes in consecutive home games.

New England Patriots (7-2) at Tampa Bay Buccaneers (6-2)

Sunday, 1 p.m. ET

FanDuel odds: Buccaneers -2.5, Total 48.5

Series Rewind: In the most recent meeting, Tampa Bay recorded a 19-17 road victory in 2021 to end a streak of four straight New England wins in the series.

New England has excelled under first-year coach Mike Vrabel and holds a half-game lead over the Buffalo Bills in the AFC East. The Patriots have won six consecutive games, including an impressive 23-20 win at Buffalo on Oct. 5. Second-year QB Drake Maye has stood out, throwing for 2,285 yards and 17 touchdowns against four interceptions. Maye has been highly consistent, never reaching 300 yards and never falling below 200. He leads the NFL in completion rate at 74.1%. The NFC South-leading Buccaneers figure to pressure Maye. He has been sacked 34 times, including six times in each of the past two games. Tampa Bay is coming off a bye and QB Baker Mayfield enjoyed the break since he is still battling knee and oblique injuries. The struggles were evident while Mayfield passed for a season-low 152 yards as the Buccaneers recorded a 23-3 win over the host New Orleans Saints in Week 8. Still, he has 1,919 passing yards and 13 touchdowns against just two interceptions. Tampa Bay will likely be without top running back Bucky Irving (foot/shoulder) for the fifth straight game. That could represent a problem since New England allows a league-low 75.4 rushing yards per game. The Buccaneers are seventh (92.6) against the run.

Baltimore Ravens (3-5) at Minnesota Vikings (4-4)

Sunday, 1 p.m. ET

FanDuel odds: Ravens -4.5, Total 48.5

Series Rewind: The Ravens are 4-3 all-time against the Vikings, including a 34-31 overtime win in 2021 when Lamar Jackson passed for 266 yards and three touchdowns and rushed for 120 yards.

Jackson is back and thriving and slow-starting Baltimore is suddenly full of life. Jackson returned from a hamstring injury last week for his lone appearance in October and he completed 18 of 23 passes for 204 yards and four touchdowns in a 28-6 rout of the Miami Dolphins. That gave the Ravens consecutive victories for the first time this season as they look to dig out a hole that saw them lose five of their first six games. Derrick Henry added 119 rushing yards as both of Baltimore's main pistons were firing. That was Henry's third 100-yard outing of the campaign. The Vikings are riding the momentum of a sparkling 27-24 road upset of the Detroit Lions last weekend. J.J. McCarthy (ankle) made his first start since Week 2 and completed 14 of 25 passes for 143 yards, two touchdowns and one interception. McCarthy will likely need an improved performance against star safety Kyle Hamilton and the rest of the Ravens. Vikings wideout Justin Jefferson caught his second touchdown pass of the season in McCarthy's return and he has 47 catches for 649 yards on the season. Jefferson had 10 receiving scores last year. The Vikings have just three interceptions, two by S Joshua Metellus, and forcing a pick or two from Jackson would help the odds of a victory.

Buffalo Bills (6-2) at Miami Dolphins (2-7)

Sunday, 1 p.m. ET

FanDuel odds: Bills -9.5, Total 49.5

Series Rewind: Buffalo has dominated the series during the Josh Allen era, winning 14 of the past 15 meetings with Miami overall, including one game in the AFC wild-card round.

The Dolphins took a dismal loss to the Baltimore Ravens on Oct. 30, which led right into a tumultuous few days for the organization. Miami fired longtime general manager Chris Grier the next day and promoted Champ Kelly to interim general manager. Kelly then orchestrated the Dolphins' lone trade before the league deadline last Tuesday when Miami sent OLB Jaelan Phillips to Philadelphia for a 2026 third-round draft pick. Miami's defense could be further depleted against the Bills as edge rusher Chop Robinson has yet to clear concussion protocol. Without Phillips and Robinson, Miami might be in trouble against Allen, who has consistently performed well against the Dolphins in his career. Allen is 13-2 as a starter against Miami, throwing for 3,950 yards and 40 touchdowns. The Bills' offense flourished last week, with tight end Dalton Kincaid racking up six catches for 101 yards and a touchdown in his second game back from an oblique injury. Bills RB James Cook is dealing with ankle and foot injuries. Cook ranks second in the NFL in rushing yards (867) behind only Indianapolis' Jonathan Taylor (895), and his seven rushing touchdowns are tied with Allen for fourth.

New Orleans Saints (1-8) at Carolina Panthers (5-4)

Sunday, 1 p.m. ET

FanDuel odds: Panthers -5.5, Total 39.5

Series Rewind: The Saints have won three of the last four and lead this division series 32-29, but it's tied 4-4 over the last eight.

The Carolina Panthers continue to be a surprising contender in the NFC South. They enter this week's game coming off their best win of the season, a 16-13 win at previously 5-1-1 Green Bay on a last-second field goal. While quarterback Bryce Young hasn't thrown for 200 yards since Week 2 at Arizona, the Panthers offense has been sparked by running back Rico Dowdle, who ran for 130 yards and a career-high two TDs in last week's win. Carolina now has the NFL's fifth-best rushing offense (139.8 yards per game). Dowdle (quadriceps) didn't practice Wednesday and was limited Thursday. Saints QB Tyler Shough was not able to spark one of the league's worst offenses (31st in scoring offense, 29th in total offense) in a challenging first start at the Los Angeles Rams. He did throw his first career touchdown, but only after New Orleans was in a 20-3 hole. Standout RB Alvin Kamara had just 14 yards on six carries last week after being limited with an ankle injury. He's again been limited this week.

Jacksonville Jaguars (5-3) at Houston Texans (3-5)

Sunday, 1 p.m. ET

FanDuel odds: Jaguars -1.5, Total 37.5

Series Rewind: The Texans lead the all-time series 31-16 and have won 12 of the last 15 over Jacksonville. The Jaguars are going for their first season sweep of Houston since 2017 after a 17-10 Week 3 victory.

C.J. Stroud's streak of 29 straight starts comes to an end this week after he sustained a concussion in last week's loss to Denver. Backup quarterback Davis Mills will be called upon to make his first start for Houston since January 2023. He has 35 career touchdowns to 25 interceptions in 40 games (26 starts), completing 17 of 30 passes for 137 yards last week in relief of Stroud. Even with Stroud, the Texans have limped to a tie for 24th in the league in scoring offense (21.0 points per game) under first-year offensive coordinator Nick Caley. Jacksonville heads to Houston off a chaotic 30-29 overtime win at Las Vegas which felt important as it prevented a three-game losing streak that would have turned a 4-1 start into a 4-4 record. The Jaguars' receiver room is a bit beat up, most notably with Travis Hunter Jr. placed on injured reserve with a knee injury sustained last week in practice. To address this, Jacksonville traded for Jakobi Meyers from the Raiders before Tuesday's trade deadline. He had a career-high 1,027 yards last year for Las Vegas.

Cleveland Browns (2-6) at N.Y. Jets (1-7)

Sunday, 1 p.m. ET

FanDuel odds: Browns -2.5, Total 37.5

Series Rewind: The Browns took a 15-14 lead in the all-time regular-season series with a 37-20 victory in their last meeting in 2023. Five of the last seven meetings were one-score games.

For a game between two teams with a combined three wins, there are so many questions. How will the Jets respond to the trade-deadline sell-off of defensive stars Sauce Gardner and Quinnen Williams? Can the Browns win their first game outside of Cleveland since Week 2 of last season? Which Jets quarterback will be Myles Garrett's prey as he attempts to add to his AFC-leading 10 sacks? Both teams are coming off bye weeks following very different results. New York racked up 502 yards of offense at Cincinnati in Week 8 to earn head coach Aaron Glenn's first win. Cleveland gave up a season-high 422 yards in a Week 8 loss at New England. The Browns are 3-2 after a bye week under coach Kevin Stefanski. Cleveland's Quinshon Judkins leads all rookies with 486 rushing yards but will have to deal with New York linebacker Jamien Sherwood, who has double-digit tackles in three of his last four home games.

Arizona Cardinals (3-5) at Seattle Seahawks (6-2)

Sunday, 4:05 p.m. ET

FanDuel odds: Seahawks -6.5, Total 44.5

Series Rewind: The Seahawks have swept the last eight meetings, including a 23-20 win at Arizona on "Thursday Night Football" in Week 4 on a game-ending 52-yard field goal by Jason Myers.

The Seahawks are a mediocre 2-2 at home and the Cardinals are 2-2 on the road entering this NFC West showdown. Seattle quarterback Sam Darnold is 4-0 in his career against Arizona and leads the NFL with 18 games with a 100-plus rating since the start of 2024. Counterpart Jacoby Brissett is 0-2 against Seattle and makes his fourth straight start for the Cardinals in place of the injured Kyler Murray. Seahawks star Jaxon Smith-Njigba had a season-low 79 receiving yards in the first meeting this season against Arizona and needs just 52 to reach the 1K mark for the second straight season. Speedy wideout Rashid Shaheed, acquired Tuesday from the Saints, makes his debut for the Seahawks and gives Darnold another weapon on the outside as Cooper Kupp tries to get healthy. Cardinals star Trey McBride is just the third tight end in NFL history (Tony Gonzalez, Travis Kelce) with five-plus catches in 10 straight games.

Detroit Lions (5-3) at Washington Commanders (3-6)

Sunday, 4:25 p.m. ET

FanDuel odds: Lions -8.5, Total 48.5

Series Rewind: Dan Quinn won the first encounter with Dan Campbell, leading his Commanders to a stunning 45-31 win at top-seeded Detroit in last season's divisional playoff round.

Despite having a banged-up offensive line and more losses already than last season (15-2), the Lions chose to stand pat at Tuesday's trade deadline. Coach Dan Campbell says he has "the dudes" he needs to make a run in the second half of the season. That starts with QB Jared Goff, who has thrown for at least 200 yards and a touchdown in all four road games this season, and RB Jahmyr Gibbs, who had 175 scrimmage yards and two scores in January's playoff loss to Washington. Gibbs is chasing a rebound effort after being bottled up by the Vikings last week. Remember, Detroit did not have $180 million defensive end Aidan Hutchinson in that game and big No. 97 will be looking to pad his sack total against Marcus Mariota, who makes his fourth start of the season following Jayden Daniels' elbow injury. Mariota will have to lean on RB Jacory Croskey-Merritt and WR Deebo Samuel with Terry McLaurin (elbow) missing practices this week.

Los Angeles Rams (6-2) at San Francisco 49ers (6-3)

Sunday, 4:25 p.m. ET

FanDuel odds: Rams -4.5, Total 49.5

Series Rewind: After the Rams won three of the four games over the last two seasons, the 49ers won the first game between the two in Los Angeles Oct. 2. San Francisco leads 8-4 this decade and leads the all-time series 79-71-3.

Led by 37-year-old Matthew Stafford, the Rams have one of the best passing offenses in the league this season. Stafford has a league-high 21 touchdowns and ranks second in the NFC with 2,147 yards. He's been on a remarkable hot streak of late, throwing nine touchdowns over his last two games and 16 over his last five. His last interception came in Week 3. A depleted San Francisco defense which ranks 21st in the league in passing defense (223.7 yards per game) will be tested by the surprise MVP candidate, who is expected to get star receiver Puka Nacua (rib) back this week after he exited last week's game. On the other side, Mac Jones has been San Francisco's starting quarterback since the last time these teams faced off in Week 5. He threw for 342 yards and two touchdowns in that road win and is expected to make his sixth straight start this week with Brock Purdy (toe) still limited. The 49ers lost another defensive player, defensive end Mykel Williams, to a season-ending injury in last week's win at the Giants. LB Tatum Bethune is one of a handful of players stepping up, posting a career-high 16 tackles last week. Since Week 6, he leads the NFL with 50 tackles.

Pittsburgh Steelers (5-3) at Los Angeles Chargers (6-3)

Sunday, 8:20 p.m. ET

FanDuel odds: Chargers -2.5, Total 44.5

Series Rewind: The Steelers won 20-10 last season for their 11th win in the past 15 meetings, including the postseason.

Aaron Rodgers wasn't the least bit unnerved when Tuesday's trading deadline came and went without the AFC North-leading Steelers adding a receiver. Now comes prove it time for the four-time NFL MVP with 520 career touchdown passes. The Steelers rank 21st in passing offense at 200.9 yards per game despite having the future Hall of Famer at the controls. Rodgers' season high for passing yardage is just 249 and his season output of 1,692 yards is less than erratic Tennessee Titans rookie Cam Ward (1,760). Offseason acquisition DK Metcalf leads the team with a modest 29 receptions, 467 yards and five scoring catches. The Pittsburgh defense helped a bunch in last weekend's taming of the Indianapolis Colts by recording five sacks and forcing five turnovers. The Steelers caused a sixth turnover on special teams. The Chargers look to attack that defense with Justin Herbert, who ranks second in the NFL with 2,390 yards. Ladd McConkey (524) and Keenan Allen (520) are both having solid seasons. The offensive line is beat up and that caused a deadline-beating trade for Trevor Penning from the New Orleans Saints. Penning worked out at both tackle spots on his first day in town. Joe Alt (ankle) joined fellow star tackle Rashawn Slater (knee) on injured reserve. Linebacker Tuli Tuipulotu (team-high 7.5 sacks) would like to cause issues for Rodgers.

Starts, Sits, Sleepers: Week 10

Player Notes
Jaxon Smith-Njigba Nov 8 2:30am CT
Jaxon Smith-Njigba

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba should continue to dominate fantasy football in Week 10 against the Arizona Cardinals. Although the Cardinals are No. 11 against opposing wide receivers in fantasy, Smith-Njigba has proven himself to be matchup-proof this season. The Cardinals are the only team to hold Smith Njigba to less than 96 yards or 18.3 fantasy points this season. However, that game was played in Week 4. A lot has changed since then, and Smith-Njigba has evolved into perhaps the best wide receiver in the league at the moment. Since Week 4, Smith-Njigba has not recorded fewer than 123 receiving yards or 22 fantasy points. He is about as automatic as they come. With the Seahawks' offense reaching such a high level over the last few weeks, Smith-Njigba has a great chance to continue his stats in both categories. Nobody is going to bench Smith-Njigba while he is playing like this, but you can expect another monster game in Week 10 from the third-year man.

Jason Myers Nov 8 2:20am CT
Jason Myers

Seattle Seahawks kicker Jason Myers should have plenty of chances to rack up points on Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals. Myers has always been an accurate kicker, but Seattle's ascension as an office is providing Myers with a lot of shots at field goals and extra points. Myers enters Week 10 averaging 9.75 fantasy points as a kicker. He is providing your team with legitimate low-end flex value in your kicker spot. Best of all, Myers is doing so consistently. He has reached double-digit fantasy points three times this season. The Cardinals boast a solid defense, but they will be traveling to Seattle in Week 10. The home-field advantage should help Seattle be successful offensively. Trust Myers as a high-end kicker option in Week 10 and beyond.

Zach Charbonnet Nov 8 2:10am CT
Zach Charbonnet

Seattle Seahawks running back Zach Charbonnet has been wildly inefficient and ineffective this season. However, he remains fantasy relevant because his role at the goal line is netting touchdowns. Charbonnet will face a solid Cardinals defensive front in Week 10 as he continues to split time with fellow running back Kenneth Walker III. Either way, Charbonnet's inefficiencies make him difficult to trust as a legitimate starter for fantasy this week. Fortunately, Seattle's offense should have no issue moving the ball up and down the field against the Cardinals. Charbonnet already scored on this team in Week 4, and he should have had a second score in that game. With another four teams on bye in Week 10, you could throw Charbonnet in your flex and hope for a touchdown. He is a better bet than what you are likely able to scrape together on the waiver wire this week.

From RotoBaller

Sam Darnold Nov 8 1:50am CT
Sam Darnold

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold should be a quality option at the position in Week 10 against the Arizona Cardinals. Darnold has been on a tear recently. He is coming off an impressive four-touchdown performance against the Commanders in Week 9. Darnold is comfortable in the offense, and it shows. The matchup with the Cardinals is not scary. While Arizona does boast a solid defense, Darnold already took advantage of this matchup in Week 4. The Cardinals have not seen an offense as dialed in as Seattle's yet this season. As such, Darnold has a great chance to exceed the 16.08 fantasy points he scored in Week 4. As long as wide receiver Jaxson Smith-Njigba continues to play at a high level, Darnold will succeed for fantasy. Start him as a quality QB1 in Week 10.

From RotoBaller

Kenneth Walker III Nov 8 1:50am CT
Kenneth Walker III

Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III has been a fantasy disappointment this season; however, Walker could deliver flex value in Week 10 against the Arizona Cardinals. Arizona has a good-but-not-great defense this season. Walker already carved them up to the tune of 110 total yards in Week 4. Walker has been held in check since then, never topping 9.6 PPR fantasy points. Still, Walker is consistently receiving double-digit opportunities. It is only a matter of time before he breaks off a big run. Seattle's offense is in a serious rhythm at the moment. They are throwing the ball extremely effectively, but they could improve on the ground. Look for Walker to have a bit of a bounce-back game this week to get the Seahawks' running game going again. If you need a flex play with upside, Walker could be your man in Week 10.

Jalin Hyatt Nov 8 1:20am CT
Jalin Hyatt

New York Giants wide receiver Jalin Hyatt is receiving another opportunity to prove his fantasy value in Week 10 against the Chicago Bears. Yet he remains an unreliable option given his minimal production this season. Hyatt has done little with his chances, registering only three receptions for 17 yards on the year, making him essentially unplayable in fantasy leagues. The silver lining is the opponent: the Bears rank 30th against WRs, giving up a league-high 38.63 points per contest. Furthermore, Chicago has allowed 20 passing touchdowns on the season, indicating a high-scoring environment where Hyatt could benefit from a deep shot. Still, based on his season-long performance of only five targets, he is not to be started in any leagues.

From RotoBaller

Daniel Bellinger Nov 8 1:20am CT
Daniel Bellinger

New York Giants tight end Daniel Bellinger is showing subtle signs of increased involvement in the offense, making him a speculative play in deep fantasy leagues for Week 10 against the Chicago Bears. While Bellinger is the 35th-ranked fantasy TE, averaging just 3.86 points per game, he is benefiting from rookie QB Jaxson Dart's tight end targets and the team's increased use of two-tight end sets following major receiver injuries. Bellinger's impressive 17.6 yards per reception shows an unexpected deep-threat element that could exploit the Chicago defense's weakness, as they have allowed 20 passing touchdowns on the season. Although Chicago is an average matchup against the TE position, this vulnerable defense (28.4 points allowed per game) offers a glimmer of hope that Bellinger could score a sneaky touchdown.

From RotoBaller

Wan'Dale Robinson Nov 8 1:10am CT
Wan'Dale Robinson

New York Giants wide receiver Wan'Dale Robinson has emerged as the clear focal point of the passing attack and projects as a strong fantasy start in the Week 10 road game versus the Chicago Bears. Robinson is enjoying the best season of his career, currently ranking as the 21st fantasy WR while commanding a high volume, as evidenced by his team-leading 11 targets in Week 9. His high usage, coupled with a solid 9.97 fantasy points per game, sets him up for success against the Chicago defense, which ranks 30th against fantasy WRs, surrendering a generous 38.63 points per contest. The Bears' propensity to allow points (28.4 per game, 29th in NFL) and passing touchdowns (20 allowed) makes Robinson a high-floor, high-ceiling option this week.

From RotoBaller

Tyrone Tracy Jr. Nov 8 1:00am CT
Tyrone Tracy Jr.

New York Giants running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. is in a precarious fantasy position entering Week 10, as he is dealing with a murky workload split and a difficult opponent. Despite the season-ending injury to Cam Skattebo, Tracy Jr. saw only five carries for 18 yards in Week 9, being out-carried by Devin Singletary (eight) as the Giants transitioned to a running back committee approach. As the 47th-ranked fantasy RB, averaging 5.56 points per game, Tracy Jr.'s outlook is dimmed by the upcoming matchup with the Chicago Bears, who, while generally a poor defense, have been tougher against the run. The Bears are the 21st-ranked fantasy defense against running backs, allowing a hefty 22.73 points per game, which does offer a glimmer of hope for a committee back. Given his diminished role and low 3.5 yards per carry average, Tracy Jr. remains a risky Flex option.

From RotoBaller

Jaxson Dart Nov 8 12:50am CT
Jaxson Dart

New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart remains a high-floor fantasy option for the Week 10 road matchup against the Chicago Bears due to his elite rushing production, despite a limited receiving corps. Currently the 17th-ranked fantasy QB, Dart averages a solid 18.48 fantasy points per game, significantly buoyed by his impressive five rushing touchdowns on the season. This week's opponent, the Bears, presents an appealing matchup for dual-threat quarterbacks, as they are the 26th-ranked fantasy defense against QBs, allowing an average of 19.66 points per game. Furthermore, Chicago's pass defense has been susceptible, allowing an average of 237.6 passing yards and 20 passing touchdowns through eight games, confirming Dart as a strong QB1 with significant upside.

From RotoBaller

Xavier Legette Nov 8 12:40am CT
Xavier Legette

Xavier Legette may have increased involvement in the passing game in this week's matchup against the Saints in Week 10. The Carolina WR was a non-factor last week against the Green Bay Packers, only logging one reception for 22 yards. Tetairoa McMillan was limited in Friday's practice with a hamstring injury and is questionable to start in Week 10. The rookie has been the Panthers' top receiver this season with 12.1 PPR Fantasy Points Per Game. If McMillan misses Sunday's game, Legette is likely to move up on the depth chart and become one of Bryce Young's top targets. Although Legette has not been productive for fantasy players this season, there was one notable exception: Week 7 against the Jets. In that game, Legette was the top receiver targeted as he had nine receptions for 92 yards, one receiving touchdown, and recorded 24.2 PPR fantasy points. So it is possible he could provide more fantasy production in an expanded role. Monitor McMillan's status before Sunday's game, and if he is out, consider Legette as a deeper flex play for Week 10 against the New Orleans Saints.

Jalen Coker Nov 8 12:40am CT
Jalen Coker

Jalen Coker might be worth consideration for fantasy lineups in Week 10 against the Saints. The second-year wide receiver has not been an effective fantasy performer so far in 2025, as he has only 45 receiving yards in three games played. On Friday's injury report, though, top Carolina WR Tetairoa McMillan was listed as limited in practice due to a hamstring injury and is now questionable to start in Week 10. If McMillan is out, Coker might see an increased target share as a quality contributor in the Panthers' passing attack. The Saints have been vulnerable to WRs in the last four weeks, giving up 34.73 fantasy points against the position, which ranks 25th-most among all NFL teams. Fantasy players should monitor McMillan's status, and if he is unable to play, Coker becomes a possible flex option in Week 10. Coker did show some promise late last season and may produce quality fantasy totals in a favorable matchup.

From RotoBaller

Ja'Tavion Sanders Nov 8 12:40am CT
Ja'Tavion Sanders

Ja'Tavion Sanders has barely contributed to the Panthers' passing game this season. In six games played, Sanders has 16 receptions for 116 yards while averaging 4.4 PPR Fantasy Points Per Game. Last week against the Green Bay Packers, Sanders caught his only target for five yards. Carolina will face the New Orleans Saints in Week 10, who allow 14.54 points to tight ends, ranking 19th in the league. But Sanders has not shown us any reasons to believe he can take advantage of the matchup. Tetairoa McMillan, the Panthers' top pass-catcher, was limited in Friday's practice with a hamstring injury and is questionable to start on Sunday. Although more targets would be available for other Carolina pass-catchers if McMillan does not play, the fantasy outlook for Sanders does not change much at all. He has not delivered enough results to be worthy of any consideration. Sanders is not rosterable in all formats until further notice.

From RotoBaller

Ryan Fitzgerald Nov 8 12:40am CT
Ryan Fitzgerald

Ryan Fitzgerald is a viable fill-in option if a deeper one is needed for Week 10. In last week's game against the Green Bay Packers, the Carolina kicker nailed his only field goal attempt and was 1-for-2 on extra point attempts. The rookie kicker has recorded an average of 7.2 fantasy points this season while hitting all of his field goal attempts in four of the last five weeks. Over the last four weeks, the Saints have allowed 10 points per game to the kicker position, which ranks 28th of all teams. New Orleans has also given up an average of 27 points to opposing teams, which is tied for 24th-most in the league this season. The matchup appears to be favorable for Fitzgerald, and while he is ranked just 18th at kicker by RotoBaller for Week 10, he could provide adequate fantasy totals.

From RotoBaller

Bryce Young Nov 8 12:30am CT
Bryce Young

Bryce Young logged his worst fantasy performance of the 2025 season last week. The third-year quarterback registered only 4.0 fantasy points and did not record any passing touchdowns for the first time since Week 3. In Week 10, Young is in line to bounce back with a potentially decent outing against one of the worst teams in the league, the 1-8 Saints. This season, New Orleans ranks 21st in Fantasy Points Per Game allowed to QBs. Last week, the New Orleans pass defense gave up a season-high 281 passing yards and four TD passes to Rams QB Matthew Stafford. Fantasy players who roster Young in deeper superflex leagues can consider starting him against the Saints as a low-end QB2 if they need a lineup plug-in. If Tetairoa McMillan (hamstring) does not play, though, Young may only post adequate totals at best.

Rico Dowdle is set for a favorable matchup against the New Orleans Saints in Week 10. Against running backs over the last four weeks, the Saints gave up 521 rushing yards, which is the fourth-most of all teams, and four rushing touchdowns, which is tied for the third-most. Dowdle was the clear lead back for Carolina in Week 9, playing on 73.6% of snaps. In that game, Dowdle rushed for 130 yards on 25 carries, with two rushing TDs, and he totaled 28.1 PPR fantasy points. In the last five games, Dowdle had three rushing TDs, averaged 6.3 yards per carry, and averaged 22.1 PPR Fantasy Points Per game. He exceeded 28 points three times during that span. With a plus matchup against the Saints in Week 10, fantasy players should start Dowdle as a prime must-start option in all formats.

Chuba Hubbard was relegated to the backup running back role again in Week 9. Last week, the fifth-year RB only played on 22% of snaps, recorded 17 yards on five carries, and logged 1.7 PPR fantasy points, which was his lowest in a single game this season. Since returning from a calf injury in Week 7, Hubbard has totaled 82 rushing yards and averaged 5.5 PPR Fantasy Points Per Game. In that same span of time, Rico Dowdle outperformed Hubbard with 263 yards and 14.7 PPR fantasy points scored per game. Fantasy players should leave Hubbard on the bench as a handcuff to Dowdle until further notice. Those who don't roster Dowdle can consider cutting Hubbard before Sunday if they need to make any more roster room.

Buffalo Bills kicker Matt Prater has been a victim of the offense's success at times this season. The team consistently moves the ball downfield and scores, but the high touchdown percentage has limited Prater's field goal opportunities. The kicker is fourth in the league with 25 extra points made, but ranks just 20th with 12 field goals. Prater's 85.7% conversion rate is adequate, but his lack of opportunities has frustrated fantasy owners throughout the season. Week 10 should bring another positive matchup where Prater maintains a high floor, but will unlikely emerge as a top-tier kicker this week. Despite the lack of high-end scoring, he does remain a steady play for teams in need of a five-to-ten point week from their kicker.

Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid is ready to shine again in a Week 10 matchup with the Miami Dolphins. Kincaid leads all Bills receivers with 411 yards despite missing one game. The Bills' tight end posted his second 100-yard game of the season last week, and faces a Dolphins defense that has given up the fifth-highest weekly score to tight ends this season. In their Week 3 matchup, Kincaid found the endzone while hauling in five catches for 66 yards. Kincaid is a must-start this week in a juicy matchup during the early slate of games.

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver KaVontae Turpin has just four catches for 25 yards over his last three games, but he has offered a much greater spark on special teams and should continue to handle return duties when the team returns from its Week 10 bye. Turpin has 18 kick returns over his last four games, including six last week against the Arizona Cardinals. His 722 kick return yards in 2025 rank fourth-most in the NFL. Turpin's role on offense has been minimal behind CeeDee Lamb, George Pickens, and Jalen Tolbert, but he should continue to make a significant impact on special teams when the Cowboys face the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 11.
