Washington Commanders rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels should be viewed as a high-end QB1 despite facing a tough Pittsburgh Steelers defense. Daniels continued his incredible rookie campaign last weekend against the New York Giants as he went 15-for-22 with 209 yards and two scores. He added 35 yards on the ground. During Weeks 6 and 8, Daniels threw for at least 250+ passing yards and attempted at least 30 passes. This weekend, he will face a Pittsburgh Steelers defense that has allowed the fourth-fewest points to opposing QBs this season. However, given his ability as a runner, fantasy managers should continue to feel confident locking Daniels into their lineup in all formats.

Washington Commanders running back Austin Ekeler could operate as the lead running back for the second-straight game, with Brian Robinson Jr. (hamstring) listed as questionable. Last week, operating as the lead option, Ekeler scored a season-high 17.3 PPR points and found the end zone for the second time this season. He tied Chris Rodriguez Jr. for a team-high 11 carries. However, Ekeler was also heavily involved in the passing game, bringing in three of his four targets for 41 yards. Given his role as a potential three-down back, fantasy managers should view the 29-year-old as a solid RB2 if Robinson cannot play facing a Pittsburgh defense that has allowed the 11th-fewest PPR points to opposing RBs this season.

Washington Commanders running back Chris Rodriguez Jr. could see increased opportunities as No.1 running back Brian Robinson Jr. (hamstring) is listed as questionable and is in danger of missing his second-straight game. Last weekend, Rodriguez surprisingly saw more attempts than the presumed No.3 option Jeremy McNichols. In this game, Rodriguez tallied a team-high 52 yards off 11 attempts. However, the Kentucky product is still on the practice squad and would need to be elevated before Sunday's game in order to suit up. If the Commanders decide to leave him off the roster, fantasy managers should expect Jeremy McNichols to serve as the backup behind Austin Ekeler and could be worth a look as a desperation flex in deeper formats.

Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin should be viewed as a high-end WR2 in Week 10 when he faces the Pittsburgh Steelers. Last weekend, the Commanders did not need to rely on their passing attack as often, which limited McLaurin's opportunities. However, he still brought in two of his three targets for two touchdowns and 19 yards. Since Week 3, McLaurin has averaged 18.0 PPR points per game and has found the back of the end zone six times. Even though the Steelers have allowed the tenth-fewest PPR points to opposing wideouts, McLaurin should remain locked into all fantasy lineups this weekend given his role as the clear top pass catcher in Washington.

Washington Commanders wide receiver Noah Brown has scored at least double-digit PPR points in each of his past two games but remains a risky flex option in Week 10, facing a tough Steeler defense. After catching the game-winning Hail Mary in Week 8, Brown led all Washington pass catchers with five catches for 60 yards in their Week 9 victory over the Giants. Over the past two weeks, Brown has seen six targets in each game. Fantasy managers should expect Brown to continue to be deployed as the clear No.2 wideout in this offense, but he could continue to struggle in certain matchups. This weekend, facing the Steelers, who have allowed the tenth-fewest PPR points to opposing wideouts, could limit his overall production which makes him a risky flex option for deeper formats.

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Nick Westbrook-Ikhine will take on the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 10. The undrafted receiver out of Indiana has taken advantage of the extra opportunity afforded to him after DeAndre Hopkins was traded, posting a touchdown in four straight games. In the past two weeks he's seen 10 targets, second on the team behind Calvin Ridley. Westbrook-Ikhine has seemed to develop a solid rapport with quarterback Mason Rudolph right at the time that Will Levis takes back the top signal-caller spot for the Titans. Because of this, he's off the fantasy radar in Week 10 against a Chargers defense that has been extremely hard to move the ball against.

Arizona Cardinals tight end Trey McBride remains at the top of tight end rankings as the Cardinals host the New York Jets in Week 10. McBride finally broke through and scored his first offensive touchdown of the season on a 2-yard jet sweep rush. It's clear that McBride remains the focal point of the Cardinals' passing attack, even though he has not yet recorded an end-zone reception this season. McBride is one of the premier tight ends in fantasy football, and that is likely to remain the case as the Cardinals host the Jets.

From RotoBaller

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Calvin Ridley faces the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 10 NFL action. Ridley was a droppable fantasy asset not even three few weeks ago, but has bounced back with Mason Rudolph quarterbacking the Titans, posting 216 yards over the past two weeks. Will Levis has been named the starter for Week 10, and while Ridley has had success with Levis, it's been a lot more shaky with the Kentucky product dishing him the ball. Add in the fact that LA is fifth-best at stopping fantasy WRs and first in the league in total points allowed, and you have a potential disaster waiting for Ridley managers. He will always have the big play ability in his back pocket, but don't expect much from this Titans offense and Ridley that has been mostly ineffective this season, especially with Levis at the helm.

Houston Texans wide receiver Robert Woods could suddenly be his team's top receiving option in Week 10 against the Detroit Lions. Houston wide receiver Stefon Diggs (knee) is already out for the season, while Nico Collins (hamstring) is questionable after being activated from injured reserve. Tank Dell (back) popped up on the final injury report and is also questionable, which could leave Woods as the team's most trusted receiver. Woods' role will be hard to predict based on the status of the other receivers, making him highly risky to play, but he could be worth the stash in deep formats.

From RotoBaller

Tennessee Titans running back Tyjae Spears (hamstring) will return in Week 10 to face the Los Angeles Chargers. The second-year back out of Tulane has missed the last three games due a hamstring injury, but practiced in full on Thursday and Friday and has no designation heading into the weekend. With his limited involvement pre-injury, starting Spears against a defense that is top-10 across the board in rushing defensive metrics is not advisable. Especially with Will Levis taking over the offense yet again, which is likely to have a negative impact on all skill position players for Tennessee, Spears is not a great start in any leagues this week.

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Joe Flacco started in place of the struggling Anthony Richardson in Week 9 versus the Vikings, but the veteran QB was unable to get the offense going, completing 16 of 27 passes for 179 yards, no touchdowns, one interception, and a fumble. Finding success in Week 10 could be just as much of an uphill battle, as the Colts take on a tough Buffalo pass defense and Flacco will be down one of his weapons with Michael Pittman Jr. set to miss the game. While Buffalo has been tough on quarterbacks, allowing the sixth-fewest fantasy points to opposing signal-callers, their rush defense has been gashed for the second-most fantasy points to opposing running backs. With former Pro Bowl running back Jonathan Taylor in tow, it's all the more reason to lean on the run game. That leaves Flacco as a low-end QB2 in Week 10.

Tennessee Titans running back Tony Pollard will take on the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 10 of the NFL season. The Titans RB1 missed some practice this week with a foot injury but was removed from the final report and is good to go against LA. He's been one of more reliable RB2s on the season, albeit with a capped ceiling, not having topped more than 18 half-PPR points yet this year. The matchups haven't dictated the outcome of Pollard's success for the most part, although he did gash the soft Patriots run-defense last week for a season-high 128 rushing yards after receiving 31 opportunities. Tyjae Spears (hamstring) will return this week after missing the past three games which will decrease the workload for Pollard, but he still remains a safe floor play against the Chargers stout rush defense. Expect another 10-15 point half-PPR outing for the former Cowboy.

Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud should be considered a QB2 in a risky matchup Sunday against the Detroit Lions. Detroit's defense ranks eighth against fantasy quarterbacks and is tied for first in hurries, bad news for a Texans offensive line that allowed eight sacks last week. Additionally, wide receivers Nico Collins (hamstring) and Tank Dell (back) are both questionable, so Stroud could be relying on the likes of Xavier Hutchinson and Robert Woods. The Sunday night kick time also offers little room for error, so managers in one-QB formats should start exploring their options.

Minnesota Vikings kicker John Parker Romo will make his season debut this Sunday when Minnesota travels to EverBank Stadium to square off against the Jacksonville Jaguars. The Vikings placed rookie kicker Will Reichard (quad) on injured reserve earlier this week after missing his first two career attempts in Week 9's 21-13 victory over the Indianapolis Colts. Romo -- who spent the offseason with Minnesota -- was signed by the team this past Tuesday and is now primed to take over kicking duties, with Reichard set to miss at least four contests. The 27-year-old spent 2023 in the XFL, drilling 17-of-19 field goal attempts for the San Antonio Brahmas. Still, he won't be a viable fantasy option until he proves his salt on an NFL field. Romo is RotoBaller's K19 in this week's ranks.

Minnesota Vikings tight end T.J. Hockenson gets a juicy matchup this weekend when his team takes on the Jacksonville Jaguars in a road matchup. The Iowa product returned to action last weekend for the first time since injuring his ACL a season ago to put up 27 yards on 3-of-4 receiving in the Vikings' win over the Indianapolis Colts. Hockenson played eight fewer snaps than teammate Josh Oliver (41), who had a strong outing of his own (5/58/1). However, it's excellent news that the 27-year-old came away from the outing without a setback, and his snap counts and usage are likely to rise over the coming weeks as he gets more acclimated to action. Still, fantasy managers may want to give him another week before slotting the veteran into their lineups if they have a better option -- despite the fantastic matchup. He's RotoBaller's TE13 in PPR formats in this week's rankings.

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jalen Nailor will line up against the Jacksonville Jaguars this coming Sunday. The third-year wideout had a few helpful fantasy performances earlier this season but has largely been an afterthought in the Vikings' offense in recent weeks. With the return of tight end T.J. Hockenson, Nailor is likely the fourth or fifth option in Minnesota's passing attack, with fellow WRs Justin Jefferson, Jordan Addison, and running back Aaron Jones all pacing him in target thus far. Even in an excellent matchup against the Jaguars defense, the 25-year-old is little more than a touchdown-dependent desperation play this Sunday. Nailor ranks as RotoBaller's PPR WR61 ahead of this weekend.

The Buffalo Bills are ranked as a top-10 fantasy football defense for their matchup against the Indianapolis Colts. Colts quarterback Joe Flacco has committed a turnover in each of his three starts and the team averages under 21 points per game this season. They'll also be without one of their top weapons in wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. (back/finger). The Bills DST is 10th in average fantasy points per game and worthy of a start in all leagues this weekend.

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown (knee) is off the injury report and good to go for Sunday's divisional battle against the Dallas Cowboys. Brown left last weekend's game early with a knee injury and logged a limited practice session on Wednesday. However, he was then upgraded to full participation on Thursday and remained in the same status on Friday. During Weeks 6 through 8, Brown found the back of the end zone twice and averaged an impressive 96.3 yards and 19.0 PPR points per game during this stretch. Fantasy managers should lock the former Ole Miss product into their lineups as a high-end WR1 this weekend facing a Dallas defense who has allowed the 16th-most PPR points to opposing wideouts this season.

From RotoBaller

Houston Texans tight end Dalton Schultz should be considered a TE2 in Week 10 with a difficult matchup on Sunday against the Detroit Lions. Detroit ranks No. 1 against fantasy tight ends going into this week, and the former Dallas Cowboy hasn't exactly been lighting it up this season anyway. Through nine games, the veteran tight end has zero top-15 finishes at his position and has not caught a regular-season touchdown since Week 11 of 2023. But due to his high snap count and injuries to Houston's receivers, he's still playable as a bye-week fill-in or in formats that play more than one tight end.

From RotoBaller

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jordan Addison will face off against the Jacksonville Jaguars this Sunday in Week 10. It's been a bit of a sophomore slump for Addison this season, as he is averaging just over three catches and 45.5 yards per game with two touchdowns in six contests. He had a nice outing last weekend, reeling in all five of his targets for 42 yards and a touchdown against a porous Colts defense. He may do so again in another intriguing matchup against a lowly Jaguars defensive unit that's given up the third-most fantasy points to wide receivers in 2024. Still, as the matchup does not project to be a shootout with quarterback Trevor Lawrence (shoulder) trending in the wrong direction, fantasy managers could be disappointed with Addison's performance if he doesn't hit pay dirt. The 22-year-old is RotoBaller's PPR WR33 heading into Week 10.
