The Dallas Cowboys announced on Thursday that second-year defensive lineman Marshawn Kneeland passed away on Thursday morning. A second-year player from Western Michigan, Kneeland was just 24 years old. The team did not announce a cause of death. Kneeland appeared in 18 games during the past two seasons, registering 26 tackles and a sack. In a statement, the team said, "Marshawn was a beloved teammate and member of our organization. Our thoughts and prayers regarding Marshawn are with his girlfriend Catalina and his family."

Las Vegas Raiders tight end Michael Mayer lost his starting role in Week 9 with the return of Brock Bowers, but he remained involved in the offense. Despite operating as the TE2, Mayer caught three of seven targets for 26 yards in the 30-29 loss to Jacksonville. Notably, he still played 83% of the snaps as Las Vegas used 12 personnel (two-tight-end sets) on 58.3% of their plays, which is their highest rate this season. With Jakobi Meyers now in Jacksonville, the Raiders are likely to continue leaning on heavier formations, which should keep Mayer on the field. However, the matchup is difficult this week. Denver has allowed the eighth-most fantasy points to tight ends, but their strong pass rush could force Mayer into increased blocking duties rather than receiving work. Mayer should remain on fantasy benches in Week 10.

Despite his team's struggles, Las Vegas Raiders right end Brock Bowers is a must-start tight end in a Week 10 matchup against the Denver Broncos. The second-year superstar from Georgia returned from a knee injury with a three-touchdown, week-winning performance last time out, and there's no reason to stray from him against Denver. The Broncos may be one of the best overall defenses in the league, but they've been only middle of the pack against fantasy tight ends. Further, Vegas shipped out top wide receiver Jakobi Meyers this week, opening the door for Bowers to vacuum even more targets during the remainder of the season. Ranked as RotoBaller's No. 2 overall tight end this week, Bowers should be starting in every format.

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Tre Tucker is perhaps this week's most unpredictable fantasy player when his team takes on the Denver Broncos on Thursday Night Football. The Raiders granted receiver Jakobi Meyers' trade request this week by shipping the veteran to Jacksonville, which figures to make Tucker the team's No. 2 option behind tight end Brock Bowers. His first opportunity, however, comes against a Broncos defense that has allowed the second-fewest points to fantasy wide receivers. Given the circumstances, managers should consider Tucker to be a risky WR3/flex option. While Tucker could be in line for more targets without Meyers, he's still not the offense's top option, he's playing on a bad team, and he's up against one of the very best secondaries in the league this week.

Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Geno Smith is a low-end Superflex option with his team playing an excellent Denver Broncos defense on Thursday. The veteran was a superb fantasy quarterback after his resurgence with Seattle in 2022, but this season had been mostly diminishing returns until a four-touchdown outburst last week against Jacksonville. Even after his best game, Smith has an unsightly 1:1 touchdown-to-interception ratio. He has thrown 11 interceptions and 11 touchdowns through eight games, during which he's thrown for an average of just under 213 yards. Facing a Denver defense that ranks among the league's best against fantasy quarterbacks, Smith can be a bye-week fill-in if needed, but managers should favor their other options, if possible.

Las Vegas Raiders running back Ashton Jeanty should be viewed as a quality RB2 option when the Raiders take on a quality Denver Broncos defense on Thursday. The rookie from Boise State has been something of a letdown, given where he was taken in most preseason fantasy drafts, but he has such control over the Vegas backfield that he still enters Week 10 as the No. 13 overall fantasy running back. Jeanty has eclipsed 80 yards only once in eight games, a 138-yard showing against the Chicago Bears in Week 4, though his 25 targets have made him a regular part of the team's passing game and given him additional fantasy value. At 2-6, the Raiders look headed for yet another lost season, but a running back playing more than 70% of his team's offensive snaps should be in fantasy lineups.

From RotoBaller

Denver Broncos wide receiver Pat Bryant should be left out of lineups in most formats when his team takes on the Las Vegas Raiders in the Thursday Night Football game for Week 10. The rookie from Illinois has earned more playing time as the season has progressed, appearing in more than half of Denver's offensive snaps five weeks in a row, but he has yet to catch more than two passes in a game. He scored his first touchdown in Week 8 against Dallas and has been the Broncos' preferred replacement with Marvin Mims (concussion) out, though Courtland Sutton and Troy Franklin have continued as quarterback Bo Nix's most-targeted options. Bryant has a solid matchup against a bad Vegas defense, but he'll be touchdown-dependent in a secondary role.

Denver Broncos kicker Wil Lutz (illness) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice after being limited with an illness earlier in the week. The 31-year-old is good to go and doesn't carry an injury designation versus the Las Vegas Raiders on Thursday night. He will look to right the ship in Week 10 after missing his first field goal of the season in Week 9. He dealt with an illness during the week and doesn't carry an injury designation versus the Raiders on Thursday night. To be fair, the Houston Texans blocked the field goal attempt, which was from 51 yards out. The Raiders average 26.3 points allowed per game, which enabled Lutz more opportunities than he had in Week 9 to put points up on the board. In what could be a close game due to the division rivalry, managers should count on Lutz to bounce back as RotoBaller has him ranked at 11 overall for the week.

Denver Broncos running back RJ Harvey will look to continue his touchdown streak Thursday night against the Las Vegas Raiders as he enters Week 10 leading the Broncos' backfield in scores on the season with six. In Week 9 against the difficult Houston Texans defense, Harvey continued to prove head coach Sean Payton right with his dynamic usage in the passing game, catching all five of his targets for 51 receiving yards and a touchdown. This marks the second game this season in which Harvey has seen five targets in a game, and his third straight game in which he has had at least one touchdown. As RotoBaller's RB23 overall on the week, start Harvey with confidence as an RB2 with weekly scoring upside.

Denver Broncos running back J.K. Dobbins has still been the king of the backfield through nine weeks from a touch standpoint, but he will strive to get back in the end zone for the first time since Week 5 as he faces the Las Vegas Raiders at home on Thursday night. At first glance, averaging 77.2 rushing yards per game would sound like a no-brainer RB1 statistic. However, the presence of running back RJ Harvey has certainly been a threat to Dobbins' scoring opportunities. Harvey has now outscored Dobbins on the season with six total touchdowns to four, with five of them coming within the past three games. With Dobbins' healthy floor, thanks to currently accounting for the fifth most rushing yards in the league, he is RotoBaller's 13th-ranked running back for Week 10.

Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton will look to resume his spot as the team's No. 1 wideout against the Las Vegas Raiders on Thursday night, despite having three different games where he caught one reception. In Week 9 against the stingy Houston Texans, Sutton's lone catch ended up going for a 30-yard touchdown reception that jump-started the Denver offense towards their comeback win. Counterpart Troy Franklin has been the leader in targets for the past two weeks straight. Still, it's arguable that Sutton's alpha spot in the offense isn't being threatened, as he just signed a four-year contract extension in July and continues to find the end zone. As RotoBaller's WR11 for the week, continue looking at Sutton with weekly scoring upside as a back-end WR1.

From RotoBaller

Denver Broncos wide receiver Troy Franklin will strive to lead the team in targets for a third straight game against the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 10. Despite being on the field for fewer snaps throughout the season than teammate Courtland Sutton, Franklin has now surpassed Sutton for the time being with 21.05% of the offensive target share compared to Sutton's 20.39% target share. It's safe to say that Franklin is making a name for himself within the Broncos offense, and with head coach Sean Payton integrating him more into the playbook, we could see weekly upside from him. Franklin is RotoBaller's WR35 for the week and can be trusted as a strong WR3/ Flex option against the Raiders.

From RotoBaller

Denver Broncos tight end Evan Engram has been a tough player to trust in fantasy lineups for the 2025 season, ranking as the TE27 through nine weeks with just one fringe TE1 finish. In last week's matchup against the Broncos, Engram had zero catches on three targets, marking what could be the final straw for fantasy managers trusting in him thus far. The Houston Texans were one of the most difficult defensive matchups of the schedule, so there could be an opportunity for Engram to bounce back against the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 10. With RotoBaller having Engram ranked as the TE23 against the Raiders, it's likely best to look for an option with more upside.

From RotoBaller

Denver Broncos quarterback Bo Nix will host the Las Vegas Raiders at home in Week 10 as he looks to carry the team to a seventh straight win. Through nine weeks, the Raiders have allowed an average of 224 passing yards per game this season and 11 passing touchdowns. Nix has had some fourth-quarter magic this season, as he has made some magnificent scrambles to bolster his stats in the final minutes of the game, and we could see that trend continue if the division rivalry proves to be a close matchup. Fantasy managers should continue to trust Nix in their starting lineups with RotoBaller ranking him as QB8 overall for Week 10.

Arizona Cardinals running back Emari Demercado had a strong performance in a 27-17 win over the Dallas Cowboys in Week 9, rushing for a team-high 79 yards on 14 carries. Demercado ran well against a poor Dallas run defense, and with uncertainty in regards to Trey Benson's (knee) return, the Cardinals could ride the hot hand with Demercado as the back to receive the most touches in their Week 10 matchup against the division-leading Seattle Seahawks. The Arizona backfield has been a messy one to figure out for fantasy managers, and it will likely stay that way for the foreseeable future. Seattle is a tough matchup, but Demercado has value as a flex play.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Romeo Doubs has been the most consistent wide receiver target for the team this season and could be ready to take on more targets after the injury to Tucker Kraft (knee). Doubs led the Packers with seven catches for 91 yards on 10 targets in their ugly 16-13 loss to the Panthers last week. No other Green Bay pass catcher drew more than five targets. The 25-year-old should continue to build on his already solid production and could elevate his numbers in Kraft's absence. Christian Watson's return will draw away some targets, but his presence helps stretch the field, creating more opportunities for Doubs and the offense. Doubs is ranked as RotoBaller's WR32 for Week 10.

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle has enjoyed a fantastic bounce-back season in 2025, leading the team with 41 catches for 586 yards and four touchdowns in nine games. Waddle had been in plenty of trade rumors with the current state of the Dolphins, but the team is committed to their 26-year-old star wideout and views him as a piece of their future. Waddle has emerged as the no-doubt WR1 after Tyreek Hill (knee) went down in Week 3, and has been among the most productive wideouts in the league. Waddle ranks as WR13 in PPR points since Week 4, and he should continue to return borderline WR1 fantasy production as one of the most explosive players in the league and the focal point of head coach Mike McDaniel's passing attack.

Free agent cornerback Asante Samuel Jr. (spine) has been cleared to play and is now making his rounds of visits with teams, according to Jeremy Fowler of ESPN. Those include the Panthers on Wednesday, Packers on Thursday, Vikings on Friday, 49ers on Monday, Bears on Tuesday, and Steelers on Wednesday. Samuel underwent spinal fusion surgery in April and has now been cleared to return to action. The 26-year-old has been a solid player for his career, but the injury has caused concerns for some teams. Samuel will likely make his decision on which one to sign within the next week once his visits conclude.

Los Angeles Rams kicker Joshua Karty is facing competition for the starting kicking gig, according to head coach Sean McVay. The organization will have Harrison Mevis compete for the kicking job with Karty ahead of the Week 10 matchup against the San Francisco 49ers. Karty had a strong rookie campaign where he connected on 84.3 percent of his field goal attempts. The 23-year-old is having a much more difficult time during his sophomore season. Karty is 10-for-15 on field goal attempts, while missing three additional extra point kicks. Mevis hasn't kicked in the NFL before and was signed onto the practice squad this week. Neither kicker is an ideal option for the Week 10 contest against the 49ers.

New York Giants kicker Graham Gano (neck) was unable to take the field for Wednesday's practice session. It appears Gano is managing a neck injury after missing four games earlier in the season due to a groin issue. When healthy, Gano has been a viable option for the Giants, but keeping him healthy has been a problem. The Giants have both Younghoe Koo and Jude McAtamney on their practice squad right now. One of them would get the starting gig if Gano is forced to miss time. He'll have a few days to get ready ahead of the Week 10 matchup against the Chicago Bears.
