Fantasy Heroes for Week 10

Dart, Jaxson 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.

STAFFORD, MATTHEW Stafford's second touchdown strike was the 400th touchdown pass of his decorated career, becoming just the ninth quarterback in NFL history to reach that mark. The 37-year-old kept making history by becoming the first signal-caller to record at least four touchdown passes with no interceptions over three consecutive contests. Stafford's 25 touchdown passes represent his highest mark since the 41 he threw in the regular season the year the Rams won Super Bowl LVI. The 2009 first-overall pick is playing some of the best ball of his career heading into a crucial home tilt against the 7-2 Seahawks next Sunday.

Mills, Davis Making his first start of the season with C.J. Stroud (concussion) unavailable, Mills struggled through three quarters before coming to life in the fourth, hitting Jayden Higgins and Dalton Schultz for TDs before running in a 14-yard score of his own to complete a stunning comeback from a 29-10 deficit. Mills could return to the bench in Week 11 against the Titans if Stroud gets cleared to return, but if he gets a second start he likely won't need to be quite as busy.

Williams, Caleb Williams struggled for most of a snowy Chicago afternoon but heated up in the last four minutes as the Bears staged a late comeback. He cut Chicago's deficit to 20-17 with 3:56 remaining in the fourth quarter on a two-yard touchdown pass to Rome Odunze, then Williams capped a four-play, 53-yard drive with a go-ahead 17-yard touchdown run just over two minutes later. The 2024 first overall pick has complemented his 13:4 TD:INT through the air in 2025 with the first three rushing touchdowns of his career, as well as a receiving touchdown. Williams has guided the Bears to a 6-3 record heading into a Week 11 road game against the NFC North rival Vikings.

GOFF, JARED Goff topped 300 yards for the second time this season thanks to a particularly efficient performance. In addition to completing more than 75 percent of his passes, Goff tallied three gains of more than 20 yards while throwing for a pair of 14-yard touchdowns and one of nine. Goff now has multiple passing scores in six of his nine games on the campaign, and he's averaged more than 7.5 yards per attempt in three straight matchups.

Jones, Mac There may be no quarterback controversy in San Francisco but Jones has clearly shown he has the ability to start in the NFL. He's thrown for over 2,000 yards with a completion percentage near 70% while posting 13 touchdowns and six interceptions in his eight starts so far. While Brock Purdy will undoubtedly get this job back, Jones has auditioned to start for someone next season, so he makes for a solid dynasty stash.

MAYFIELD, BAKER Mayfield's final numbers were certainly appealing from a fantasy perspective, although some of the yardage came on a last-ditch drive that he capped off with his final touchdown pass of the day, an 11-yard strike to Tez Johnson. That play was preceded by 21- and 10-yard TDs to Emeka Egbuka and Johnson, respectively, giving Mayfield his first three-touchdown-pass tally since Week 1. The veteran signal-caller's numbers were all the more impressive considering the ongoing absences of Mike Evans (IR, collarbone/concussion), Chris Godwin (fibula) and Bucky Irving (shoulder/foot), and he figures to once again shoulder a heavy workload through the air when the Buccaneers face the Bills on the road in Week 11.

BRISSETT, JACOBY Brissett's improbable victory over the Cowboys last week was put out of mind after Arizona was greeted by the Seahawks with a 35-0 deficit in the first half. The veteran signal-caller salvaged his day by compiling stats in garbage time, producing his fourth straight start of 250 or more passing yards and two touchdowns thrown. Brissett has great shot at extending his streak of fantasy production against an injury-riddled 49ers defense next Sunday.

Allen, Josh Allen took three sacks and was unofficially hit an additional four times, helping make his yardage total a bit empty from a real-world football perspective. The Bills were unexpectedly forced into a pass-heavy game script after heading into the halftime locker room down by a 16-0 margin, leading Allen to his highest passing yardage total since Week 1. Allen did toss multiple touchdowns for the first time in three games by connecting with Keon Coleman and Jackson Hawes for scoring strikes of 35 and 26 yards, respectively, and he'll aim to take out his frustration on the Buccaneers defense in a Week 11 home matchup next Sunday.

Gabriel, Dillon Gabriel opened the scoring with a nine-yard touchdown pass to David Njoku and connected with Jerry Jeudy for a 22-yard touchdown in the second quarter, but the rookie quarterback completed only 11 of 23 first-half passes for 125 yards. Cleveland's offense struggled in the second half even as Gabriel's accuracy improved slightly, and he came up short of 200 passing yards for the fourth time in five starts as the Browns fell to 2-7 overall. Per Brad Stainbrook of the Browns' official site, head coach Kevin Stefanski confirmed after the game that Gabriel will remain the starter for the team's Week 11 rematch versus the Ravens, against whom Gabriel threw his first NFL touchdown pass in Week 2.

Taylor, Jonathan And those who slept through it on the West Coast can likely go back to bed as they either won or lost their fantasy game if Taylor was involved in it. Depending on your exact format, this was one of the biggest fantasy days of all-time as Taylor continues to show everyone he's not just a candidate for fantasy MVP this year, but the NFL MVP as well. He's as locked in as ever and while his ADP can't really rise much at this point, this was quite the day.

Gibbs, Jahmyr 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.

Achane, De'Von The Dolphins shocked the free world (and likely themselves, too) by manhandling the Bills in a 30-13 win. Achane was the cause of most of Buffalo's pain as he ripped off some huge plays, including a 35-yard touchdown scamper that effectively ended the game. Achane has quietly had another solid season but we hadn't seen chunk plays like this very often this year. Achane will look to build on this and if he does, he'll climb right back up the RB1 dynasty rankings as a result.

Henderson, TreVeyon This was the day dynasty managers had been dreaming about since Henderson was drafted last Spring. With Rhamondre Stevenson out, Henderson finally got his chance to shine and took advantage of it. Even better, he did it on just 15 touches. Henderson simply has to be in line to start moving forward but we've seen some strange things in terms of New England's loyalty to Rhamondre Stevenson. Regardless, Henderson's ADP slide will now come to an abrupt end.

Williams, Kyren 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.

Hall, Breece 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.

Allgeier, Tyler The backup RB scored one-yard TDs in the first and fourth quarters as he continues to take red-zone work away from Bijan Robinson. Robinson led the Falcons with 84 rushing yards on the day but didn't get into the end zone, and he has only two rushing touchdowns in nine games compared to Allgeier's six. It was also Allgeier's first multi-TD performance since Week 1 of the 2023 season. as long as he continues to see heavy usage in the red zone and at the goal line, Allgeier will have some fantasy utility even though Sunday was only the third time this season he's topped 50 rushing yards in a game.

Charbonnet, Zach Charbonnet finished as the Seahawks' leading rusher while matching starter Kenneth Walker (14-67-0) in carries. The 24-year-old Charbonnet did not receive a target for the first time since Week 2 in an odd game script that saw Seattle attempt just 12 passes in a comfortable win. The backup's value has been inflated by six trips to the end zone this season, but his week-to-week production remains volatile, with Sunday being his first game rushing for over 50 yards in eight appearances. Charbonnet is providing enough to be considered a flex option against the Rams next Sunday.

Marks, Woody The rookie RB led the Texans' backfield with 16 touches (to Nick Chubb's six) and 81 scrimmage yards to the veteran's 52, and Marks capped his strong performance with a one-yard TD plunge in the second quarter. He's seen double-digit carries in four straight games as he continues to push his way to the top of the depth chart, and Marks could deliver another big performance in Week 11 against the Titans -- a defense he erupted for 119 combined yards and two touchdowns against in Week 4.

Etienne Jr., Travis The fourth-year RB produced the Jaguars' last score of the afternoon on a six-yard run in the third quarter, giving the team a 29-10 lead that shockingly evaporated in the fourth. Etienne ended a four-game TD drought in the process, and on the season he's amassed 786 scrimmage yards and four total touchdowns (three rushing, one receiving) through nine contests. He'll look to keep rolling in Week 11 against the Chargers.

Nailor, Jalen Nailor made nearly all of his impact early and late in the game. He beat Marlon Humphrey deep down the field on the sixth play from scrimmage and then managed to turn upfield for a 62-yard gain that came just short of a touchdown. Nailor then came up big during Minnesota's rally late in the game, as he hauled in another deep pass for a 28-yard gain before making an impressive acrobatic 10-yard touchdown catch four plays later. This marked the first time that Nailor has reached 100 receiving yards in his career and also matched his career high of five receptions.

Williams, Jameson 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.

London, Drake London is putting together a career year and clearly has something clicking with Michael Penix Jr. While the game results haven't been there very often for the Falcons, you can't blame London, who is pushing for top-5 receiver status in dynasty leagues at this point. The buying window on London has clearly closed.

Olave, Chris The fourth-year wideout put together his best performance of the season in terms of yardage, capped by a 62-yard TD in the second quarter. Olave failed to see double-digit targets for only the fourth time in 2025, but he's showing some good early chemistry with rookie QB Tyler Shough, who was making his second career start. Olave will take a 60-664-4 line on 94 targets through 10 games into the Saints' bye, before facing the Falcons in Week 12.

Johnson, Tez Johnson finished a distant third on Tampa Bay in receiving yards and tied for third in targets, but he made a significant impact by recording 10- and 11-yard touchdown grabs in the second half. The rookie has scored his first four career TDs in the last four games, and he's drawn between five and nine targets in the last three contests. Johnson's elevated role should continue in a Week 11 road matchup against the Bills, considering Chris Godwin (fibula) is likely to remain sidelined alongside Mike Evans (IR, collarbone/concussion).

It was the fourth-year pro's first score of the season, and Pierce now has at least 69 receiving yards in four consecutive contests. The 2022 second-round pick is enjoying his most consistent season yet, as he heads into the Week 11 bye having already posted a 28-585-1 receiving line through eight games with 10 catches of 20-plus yards.

Smith-Njigba, Jaxon Smith-Njigba got off to a hot start Sunday when he peeled the top off of Arizona's defense for a 43-yard touchdown on the game's opening drive. JSN was checked for a concussion in the first half, but he returned promptly without issue for the remainder of the contest. The explosive play would end up accounting for most of Smith-Njigba's final fantasy score -- even with the Seahawks dropping 44 points -- after Seattle's defense and rushing attack accounted for the remaining four touchdowns. The breakout superstar became the first player to reach 1,000 yards in receiving this season, and he sits just 89 yards shy of the career best 1,130 yards he posted in 2024. Smith-Njigba will attempt to accomplish the personal achievement in a pivotal NFC West matchup against the Rams next Sunday.

Odunze, Rome Odunze bounced back from a Week 9 goose egg against the Bengals, leading the Bears in targets, catches and receiving yards Sunday. He accounted for Chicago's lone aerial score with a two-yard touchdown catch in the fourth quarter. Odunze could stand to improve his game-to-game consistency, but the 2024 first-round pick leads the Bears across the board with 37 catches, 559 receiving yards and six receiving touchdowns on 69 targets heading into a Week 11 road game against the Vikings.

Waddle, Jaylen Waddle led the Dolphins in receiving yards and targets in the upset victory, making a significant contribution in the form of a 38-yard touchdown grab on the first play of the second quarter. The veteran wideout unsurprisingly continues to enjoy a robust role following the season-ending knee injury to Tyreek Hill, recording at least five catches and 82 receiving yards in five of his last six games. Waddle will continue in an elevated role against a porous Commanders secondary in Madrid next Sunday.

McBride, Trey 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.

KITTLE, GEORGE It took a one-sided loss to do it, but Kittle finally produced the kind of stat line managers were hoping for when selecting the tight end early in drafts. The star tight end has chipped three touchdown catches across five active games, with Sunday's output marking the first time he surpassed four receptions or 43 receiving yards. The injury-riddled 49ers may need to rely on Kittle's receiving abilities in order to remain a threat down the stretch.

Schultz, Dalton The veteran tight end saw a season high in targets and topped 50 receiving yards for the fourth time in the last five games, this time with Davis Mills at QB instead of C.J. Stroud (concussion). Schultz capped his day with his first TD of the season, a seven-yard strike from Mills in the fourth quarter as the Texans put together a stunning comeback from a 29-10 deficit. Schultz will take a 45-438-1 line on 59 targets through nine contests into a Week 11 tilt against the Titans.

Parkinson, Colby Parkinson turned in his finest fantasy outing of the season after hitting paydirt for the first time in 2025.

Parkinson can safely be ignored in standard fantasy formats next Sunday against the Seahawks.

Warren, Tyler The rookie tight end finished as the Colts' leader in receptions, receiving yards and targets in the overseas clash, and all three totals also served as new career highs for Warren. The Penn State product has been as good as expected over his first nine games, and he'll head into the Week 11 bye with a robust 50-617-3 receiving line on 67 targets after serving as one of Daniel Jones' primary security blankets during the latter's resurgent first half of the season.

Hawes, Jackson The rookie tight end from Georgia Tech logged his second-highest snap share of the season (34 offensive snaps) during Sunday's blowout win. Prior to Week 8, Hawes hadn't received a target in each of the Bills' previous two games. He's now caught six of seven targets for 69 yards and a touchdown across his first seven NFL games. He's expected to continue playing behind Dalton Kincaid and Dawson Knox in the Week 9 matchup against the Chiefs.

Otton, Cade Otton led the Buccaneers in receptions and was second to Emeka Egbuka in both receiving yards and targets. All three components of the tight end's receiving line also qualified as season highs, and he's now exceeded 50 receiving yards in four of the last five games. Given both Chris Godwin (fibula) and Bucky Irving (foot/shoulder) could remain out for next Sunday's Week 11 road matchup against the Bills -- while Mike Evans (IR, collarbone/concussion) remains on injured reserve -- Otton may have another busy afternoon.

Njoku, David Njoku's nine-yard touchdown catch in the first quarter was his third touchdown in Njoku's last four games.

Up next for Njoku and the Browns is a Week 11 home game against the Ravens.

Farrell, Luke Farrell got the start in place of George Kittle (hamstring) on Sunday, finishing with 41 snaps played on offense (58 percent). Jake Tonges wound up playing more snaps (79 percent) while garnering more targets (five) in the passing game, but it was Farrell who cashed in one of Mac Jones's three touchdown passes. It appears that the 49ers will deploy both tight ends in tandem while Kittle mends on injured reserve. In that scenario, neither option offers much fantasy upside heading into next Sunday's tilt against Arizona.

He added a 22-yard chip shot early in the third quarter to give the Ravens a 12-10 lead, but he missed on a 56-yarder later in the same frame.

He followed that up with a 37-yard field goal in the fourth quarter, which gave the Jets a 10-point cushion.

Harrison missed the past two games due to a knee injury, but he looks to be ready to rush the passer Sunday. The defensive end's Week 7 appearance against the 49ers led to four total tackles, including 1.0 sacks. His return to this Falcons defense will bolster an already strong pass rush for a tough matchup against a high AFC seed.
