Washington Commanders running back Chris Rodriguez Jr. had his best game of the season in Sunday night's blowout loss to the Seattle Seahawks, handling 12 carries for 65 yards and a touchdown. Rodriguez scored his second touchdown of the season, while the 12 carries and 65 yards were both the second-highest totals of his three-year career. The 25-year-old saw the same number of carries as rookie Jacory Croskey-Merritt and could be working his way back into a timeshare on early downs, with the rookie struggling on the ground of late. Rodriguez is a physical, bruising back that will get the yardage that is blocked for him and adds a few more after contact as he's always falling forward. The Washington offense will be without star quarterback Jayden Daniels (elbow) for the foreseeable future, but Marcus Mariota is capable of running the same style of offense. Rodriguez offers waiver wire value in deeper leagues headed into Week 10.

Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts Sr. drew another seven targets in Week 9's 24-23 loss to the Patriots, converting them into four catches for 38 yards. While his continued involvement in the passing attack has been a welcome change compared to the underwhelming production of the past few seasons, it hasn't amounted to much for fantasy, as the 25-year-old has just a single touchdown on the season. Also, althoughhe's on pace for 91 receptions, which would obliterate his previous career high of 68, the 6-foot-6 tight end is pacing for 812 yards, which would be more than last season's 602 yards but would fall well short of his career high of 1,026 that was set in his rookie season of 2021. Still, with two more red zone targets this past Sunday, the fifth-year pro could be on the verge of his big breakout performance of 2025, and he'll get a favorable matchup against the Colts in Germany this week versus a defense that's yielded a touchdown to an opposing tight end for four straight weeks now.

Despite being rumored as a potential candidate to be moved, Cleveland Browns running back Jerome Ford will remain with his team through the 2025 trade deadline. The 26-year-old has mostly been limited to a passing-downs role in Cleveland this season, recording 149 scrimmage yards on 42 touches across eight games played. However, Ford could play an expanded role in his team's Week 10 matchup against the New York Jets. Star rookie running back Quinshon Judkins (shoulder) suffered an AC joint sprain in Cleveland's final game before their Week 9 bye, putting his availability for Week 10 in question. Even if Judkins is out, Ford would likely split backfield work in Cleveland with Dylan Sampson. Still, Ford would profile as at least a low-end flex option for fantasy managers in most formats in a favorable matchup against New York if Judkins cannot play.

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk (knee) has not yet played this season as he recovers from the devastating knee injury he suffered seven games into his 2024 campaign. Aiyuk appears to be multiple weeks away from a return, as the team is not opening his 21-day practice window ahead of its Week 10 matchup against the Los Angeles Rams. In his last healthy season in 2023, Aiyuk recorded 75 catches for 1,342 yards and seven touchdowns on 105 targets across 16 games. There's no questioning the 27-year-old's ability to be productive when he's on the field; it's just a matter of when Aiyuk's knee will be healthy enough for him to return. Fantasy managers should have minimal expectations for Aiyuk's 2025 production. Still, in leagues with IR spots, Aiyuk could be a low-risk flier worth stashing.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Jayden Reed (collarbone, foot) has been on Injured Reserve since suffering a broken collarbone in Week 2. Reed also underwent foot surgery, so he's recovering from multiple injuries. Still, it appears as though the 25-year-old could be nearing a return. Across 17 games in 2024, Reed recorded 55 catches for 857 yards and six touchdowns on 75 targets. He'll join a crowded Packers wide receiver room upon his return and should see stiff competition for playing time and targets from Romeo Doubs, Christian Watson, and Matthew Golden. However, Green Bay lost star tight end Tucker Kraft (knee) to a torn ACL in Week 9, potentially opening up opportunities in the passing game. Reed may not be active for his team's Week 10 matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles, but he still may be worth adding off the waiver wire now in fantasy leagues with 12 or more teams.

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Malik Washington recorded a season-high 48 receiving yards on three catches in his team's Week 9 loss to the Baltimore Ravens. The 24-year-old has struggled with efficiency so far this season, logging just 183 yards on 28 catches (6.5 yards per catch). Still, Washington has emerged as a consistent target-earner since Miami lost star wideout Tyreek Hill (knee) to a season-ending knee injury in Week 4. Washington has earned at least five targets in four out of his last five games played. His upside is limited, but Washington should continue to provide a relatively stable fantasy floor in PPR-scoring formats. Heading into a Week 10 matchup with the Buffalo Bills, Washington is worth rostering in PPR leagues with 12 or more teams.

From RotoBaller

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Rashod Bateman has recorded just 15 catches for 184 yards and two touchdowns on 29 targets across eight games played in 2025. However, Bateman recorded his second touchdown reception of the season in Week 9, Baltimore's first game with quarterback Lamar Jackson under center since Week 4. Across 17 games with Jackson in 2024, Bateman recorded 45 catches for 756 yards and nine touchdowns on 72 targets. Bateman will likely remain a low-target-volume player, but Jackson's return to the lineup should unlock his big-play ability. In fantasy leagues with 14 or more teams, Bateman could be worth targeting on the waiver wire heading into a Week 10 matchup against the Minnesota Vikings.

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Daniel Jones turned in his worst performance of the season in a 27-20 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 9. Jones completed 31 of his 50 passes for 342 yards, one touchdown, and three interceptions while adding a rushing touchdown as well. The veteran quarterback came into the game with just three interceptions all season, thus doubling his number in that area in the disappointing loss. Jones will look to bounce back at home against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 10. Atlanta has been tough on quarterbacks this season, allowing just the 27th-most fantasy points per game to the position. That being said, Jones has earned enough leeway thanks to his strong play this season to be considered as a low-end QB1 in fantasy for that matchup.

Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor finally cooled off in a 27-20 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 9. Taylor carried the ball 14 times for 45 yards while catching both of his targets for 12 yards in the disappointing loss to Pittsburgh. It was the first time all season that Taylor had been held to fewer than 66 rushing yards and just the third time in nine games that he was held out of the end zone. Taylor will now head back home to face off against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 10. Atlanta has struggled to slow opposing rushing attacks this season, allowing the 10th-most fantasy points per game to running backs in eight games. Taylor remains a rock-solid RB1 in all fantasy formats heading into Week 10's contest.

Indianapolis Colts tight end Tyler Warren turned in a quiet game in a Week 9 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. Warren caught five of his seven targets for just 26 yards in the loss, a season-low in receiving yards for the breakout rookie. The first-year tight end will look to move past his quietest game as a pro in a Week 10 home matchup against the Atlanta Falcons. The Falcons have dominated enemy tight ends this season, allowing the fewest fantasy points per game to the position thus far. Warren remains a main piece of the Indy passing attack, but fantasy managers would be wise to temper expectations heading into Week 10. He is looking more like a low-end TE1 this coming weekend in all fantasy formats.

Dynasty | Jets running back Breece Hall was not traded prior to Tuesday's deadline. Dynasty Analysis: This is a situation where no news is actually news as Hall was rumored to be of interest to several contenders. In reality, him staying in New York is a pretty big disappointment as dynasty managers were clearly hoping he'd land in a better spot this year prior to hitting free agency. With the Jets waving the white flag and sending away both Sauce Gardner and Quinnen Williams, things aren't going to get much easier for Hall as he's now clearly on a tanking team. This could also be a decent buying window as the talented Hall is very unlikely to be on the Jets after this season.

Dynasty | The Saints did not trade wide receiver Chris Olave prior to Tuesday's deadline. Dynasty Analysis: Olave was rumored to be of interest to several teams, including the Bills (let your imagination wander). However, the Saints kept him in the hopes they could sign him to an extension. We'll see if that pans out in the end, but anyone with Olave on their dynasty roster has to be at least a little disappointed. Let's face it - Olave has a high floor and a low ceiling in an offense led by Tyler Shough or Spencer Rattler.

Dynasty | The Cardinals will start Jacoby Brissett this week against Seattle. Dynasty Analysis: Murray's foot injury is said to still be a factor but it's not hard to read the tea leaves here as Arizona seems to have soured on Murray as their present and future at the position. It's a stunning turn of events on paper but it's also obvious to everyone that Jacoby Brissett has simply played better than Murray, which doesn't bode well for his future. We'll see what happens in the coming weeks but expecting Murray to stay with the Cardinals next season seems pretty far-fetched. His ADP is going to take a nose dive this week.

New Orleans Saints tight end Juwan Johnson has put together three strong performances over the last few weeks. On Sunday, Johnson hauled in three of his four targets for 31 yards and a touchdown in the loss to the Los Angeles Rams. Before that, Johnson had posted back-to-back five-catch games for the Saints. It's worth noting that the Saints traded wide receiver Rashid Shaheed on Tuesday, so Johnson could see more passes coming his way. Johnson is worth rostering in most fantasy formats and is someone to consider as a streaming option for the Week 10 matchup against the Carolina Panthers.

Dallas Cowboys running back Malik Davis has been waived by the organization on Tuesday. Davis was signed off the practice squad ahead of Monday's game against the Arizona Cardinals. The 26-year-old has seen a minimal role in the backfield over the last two games. Davis has rushed three times for six yards over the last two games. His absence isn't going to make much of an impact on the Cowboys backfield going forward.

Denver Broncos kicker Wil Lutz (illness) was listed as a non-participant during Tuesday's estimated practice. The team should offer more on his status soon, but this is somewhat concerning with a quick turnaround against the Las Vegas Raiders on Thursday. The veteran kicker knocked down his lone extra point and 1-of-2 field goal attempts during Sunday's win over the Houston Texans. Lutz figures to be ready for Thursday's game, but fantasy managers will have a better idea after Wednesday's practice session.

Houston Texans kicker Ka'imi Fairbairn is reportedly dealing with a lower-body injury right now. It's unclear when or how he suffered the injury, but his status for the Week 10 matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars is up in the air. It sounds like the veteran kicker is currently receiving treatment. The organization should give more information on his status soon. The Texans hosted kicker Matthew Wright on Tuesday. Wright figures to take over the kicking duties if Fairbairn is unable to go this weekend.

Denver Broncos wide receiver Marvin Mims Jr. (concussion) was able to return to the practice field on Tuesday. This is positive news after Mims began the week on the sidelines during Monday's estimated practice. Mims has been out since suffering a concussion during the Week 8 matchup against the Dallas Cowboys. He remains in concussion protocol, but Mims has a chance to suit up for Thursday's Week 10 matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders. Fantasy managers should check back on Wednesday for another update on his status.

Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Pat Freiermuth finished with three receptions for 27 yards and a touchdown on four targets in a 27-20 win over the Indianapolis Colts. Freiermuth's third score of the season came in the second quarter on a 12-yard strike from quarterback Aaron Rodgers. The two have shown improved chemistry over the past few weeks following Freiermuth's extremely quiet start to the campaign. It's worth noting, however, that he was out-snapped by Darnell Washington, who is also emerging as a red-zone threat for Rodgers. While Freiermuth can't yet be considered a reliable fantasy option, he remains more viable than teammate Jonnu Smith and likely offers a safer floor than Washington. He's an intriguing stash but should only be viewed as a low-end streaming option against the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 10.

Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Darnell Washington hauled in four of six targets for 43 yards in a Week 9 victory over the Indianapolis Colts. While Washington's box score output may look modest, his utilization on Sunday was noteworthy. Although he and quarterback Aaron Rodgers were unable to connect for a touchdown, Rodgers looked his way on two consecutive passes inside the five-yard line in the first quarter. Washington later saw another red-zone opportunity, catching a pass and taking it 13 yards before being brought down at the goal line. On the season, Washington now has seven red-zone targets, tied for the 13th-most amongst all tight ends and just one fewer than teammate DK Metcalf, who leads the Steelers with eight. While his role remains too inconsistent to trust in most redraft leagues, Washington is worth a speculative add in dynasty and deeper formats heading into a Week 10 bout with the Los Angeles Chargers.
