Keon Coleman Ruled Out For Week 10
Buffalo Bills rookie wide receiver Keon Coleman (wrist) has been ruled out for Week 10, according to Katherine Fitzgerald of The Buffalo News. Coleman has been unable to participate in any practices this week after sustaining a wrist injury in last weekend's victory over the Miami Dolphins. In this game, the Florida State product caught just one pass for 21 yards. However, during Weeks 7 and 8, Coleman began to break out and averaged an impressive 97.5 yards per game during this stretch. In addition, other Buffalo wideouts Amari Cooper (wrist) and Curtis Samuel (pectoral) could also be in danger of missing this weekend's game, which could leave Khalil Shakir as the top option for quarterback Josh Allen. UPDATE: "It's a week-to-week deal," head coach Sean McDermott said. "It'll probably be multiple weeks."

Brandon Aubrey Faces Tough Matchup In Week 10
Dallas Cowboys kicker Brandon Aubrey has slowed down fantasy-wise after his hot start to the season as the offense has sputtered in recent weeks. Aubrey faces a tough matchup in Week 10 against a strong Eagles' defense. With quarterback Cooper Rush under center, the offense may take another step back and field goal opportunities could be limited. Aubrey can still be started, but fantasy managers may want to look elsewhere for their kicker in Week 10.

Jake Ferguson Sees Fantasy Stock Decrease In Week 10
Dallas Cowboys tight end Jake Ferguson is no longer a surefire top-10 ranked tight end on a weekly basis with quarterback Dak Prescott (hamstring) set to miss at least four games. Ferguson has yet to score a touchdown in 2024 and while he should serve as backup quarterback Cooper Rush's security blanket, his upside takes a hit. Philadelphia has the fourth-best defense against opposing tight ends this season, further muddying the situation for Ferguson. He grades as a low-end TE1 this week and can still be started in most situations, but his ceiling is capped.

Jalen Tolbert Offers Little Fantasy Appeal In Week 10
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Jalen Tolbert scored a touchdown in last week's loss, connecting with backup quarterback Cooper Rush late in the game. Week 10's matchup with the Philadelphia Eagles is not an easy one, with wide receivers scoring the 11th-fewest fantasy points per game against Philadelphia's secondary. CeeDee Lamb (shoulder) has been a limited participant in practice this week and is trending towards playing, meaning Tolbert is not guaranteed a safe target volume. He should not be started this week with Cooper Rush under center.

Ezekiel Elliott Expected To Be Active Sunday
Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott was held out of the Week 9 loss due to disciplinary reasons, but the veteran is expected back in the lineup for Week 10's matchup with the Philadelphia Eagles. Elliott is completely off the fantasy radar after ceding the lead-back role to Rico Dowdle. Furthermore, Philadelphia's defense ranks third against opposing running backs. Elliott can be left on the waiver wire and should not be in any lineups this week.

Rico Dowdle Grades As High-End RB3 In Week 10
Dallas Cowboys running back Rico Dowdle has captured the lead role in the backfield over the past few weeks, but the offense may lose some efficiency with quarterback Dak Prescott (hamstring) set to miss at least the next four games. Dowdle should see significant volume coming off of an RB1 finish a week ago, but the matchup against Philadelphia's third-ranked run defense is far from ideal. He can be considered a flex option with a fairly lower floor than usual this week.

Cooper Rush Set To Make First Start Of 2025
Dallas Cowboys quarterback Cooper Rush has been thrust into the starting role with Dak Prescott (hamstring) headed to injured reserve. The 30-year-old career backup has played well in place of Prescott in the past, but Sunday's matchup against a stingy Philadelphia secondary is not the spot to trust him in. Rush grades as a high-end QB3 this week and can be considered as a QB2 option in deep leagues.

Khalil Herbert Doesn't See The Field Much In Bengals Debut
Cincinnati Bengals running back Khalil Herbert was traded from Chicago on Tuesday before the trade deadline. It was surprising that the team activated him for his first game after just two days of practice. He only played 2% of the offensive snaps and didn't register any touches in the box score. He did fumble the hand-off on one play but was able to recover it. He'll have some extra time with the team and the playbook as the Bengals take on the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday night in Week 11.

Nelson Agholor Hauls In A Touchdown Against Bengals
Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Nelson Agholor grabbed his second touchdown in three games during the comeback win over the Bengals on Thursday. The veteran finished with one reception for a six-yard score on two targets. He continues to be a touchdown-dependent fantasy option who is only relevant in very deep leagues. With the addition of Diontae Johnson, Agholor moves to the third or fourth receiver, so fantasy managers shouldn't expect him to score every week. The Ravens will go up against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 11.

Zay Flowers Quiet In Thursday Night Win
Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers received plenty of attention from the Cincinnati Bengals' defense on Thursday night. Flowers received the third-most targets with six of them and finished with four receptions for 34 yards. A lot of his opportunities were short-to-mid throws which explains the average of 8.4 yards per catch. While the defense keyed on Flowers, the other pass-catchers got free for plenty of yards and touchdowns. The speedy wideout will look to bounce back against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 11.

Rashod Bateman Catches Another Touchdown In Week 10
Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Rashod Bateman continues the best season of his career as he caught another touchdown pass in the Week 10 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals. The former first-round pick finished with six receptions for 54 yards and a score on eight targets. Bateman is now 14 yards shy of his career-high for receiving yards in a single season and has done so with 15 fewer receptions so far. He's starting to turn a corner and become the big-play receiver that the Ravens hoped he would be. His next chance to score will be against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 11.

Mark Andrews Finds Paydirt In Week 10
Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews went into Thursday night with the hope of more snaps and involvement and cashed in during the 35-34 victory. With Isaiah Likely (hamstring) sidelined, Andrews received seven targets which he turned into six receptions for 68 yards and a touchdown. This was his second-best output of the season and his highest snap share of the year with 87%. Whenever Likely is out, Andrews gains some big-time fantasy value and becomes a borderline must-start. He'll look to replicate this performance in Week 11 against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Tylan Wallace Posts Career Night Against Bengals
Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Tylan Wallace broke out for the best game of his career on Thursday night in the 35-34 win over the Cincinnati Bengals. The 25-year-old finished the contest with three receptions for 115 yards and a touchdown on three targets. He produced a game-changing moment when he caught a sideline pass from Lamar Jackson, broke a tackle, and ran down the field to complete an 84-yard touchdown play at the beginning of the fourth quarter. Wallace has the speed to break off some big plays, but he's fourth on the depth chart at best. He'll try to shake free again in Week 11 against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Derrick Henry Salvages Week With Another Touchdown
Baltimore Ravens running back Derrick Henry seemed like he was headed for a fantasy dud as the offense couldn't get much going during the first half on Thursday night. Luckily, Henry scored on a goalline run towards the end of the third quarter and salvaged his fantasy week for many managers. He ended the game with 68 yards and one score on 16 carries with one reception for three yards. The only threat to Henry's fantasy output is the defense allowing tons of points to force games into a shootout. He'll try to find some running room against the Steelers in Week 11.

Lamar Jackson Shines In Comeback Win Over Bengals
Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson continued his marvelous season as he led the team to a comeback win over their AFC North rivals on Thursday night. In the 35-34 win over the Cincinnati Bengals, Jackson registered 290 yards and four touchdowns while going 25-for-33 on his pass attempts and adding 33 yards on seven carries. The offense had a slow start to the game but put 28 points up in the second half, including a 21-point fourth quarter. Jackson completed passes to nine different receivers while delivering touchdown strikes to four of them. He's already tied his passing touchdown mark from last season in six fewer games while he tries to go for even more against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 11.

Trevor Lawrence Seems Unlikely To Play Against Vikings
Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence (shoulder) has been limited all week at practice due to a shoulder injury. According to Ian Rapoport, the former number-one overall pick is unlikely to play against the Vikings in Week 10. While he hasn't been ruled out officially, Rapoport points to the fact that Lawrence has been very limited this week leading up to their game. If he's unable to suit up, backup Mac Jones would step in and make his first start since Week 12 of the 2023 season. A clearer picture will be available after the injury report comes out on Friday.

Kyle Hamilton Suffers Sprained Ankle
Baltimore Ravens safety Kyle Hamilton (ankle) was forced to leave Thursday night's game after making an awkward plant on his right foot. He did not return to the game, but Ian Rapoport is now saying that the star safety suffered an ankle sprain and it's not considered serious. With how bad the Ravens' defense has been, losing Hamilton for any amount of time would have been a devastating hit. He'll get a few extra days to prepare for Week 11, but his status will be something to monitor throughout next week.

Tanner Hudson Finds The End Zone On Thursday
Cincinnati Bengals tight end Tanner Hudson had 42 yards and a touchdown off six catches in Thursday's loss to the Ravens. With Erick All Jr. (knee) done for the remainder of the 2024-25 campaign, Hudson had a chance to get more involved behind Mike Gesicki. He made the most of his opportunity, although Cincinnati couldn't pull off a win. Hudson easily had his best showing of the season on Thursday. However, the 29-year-old still has more work to do before earning a spot in fantasy lineups moving ahead.

Mike Gesicki Cools Off Against The Ravens
Cincinnati Bengals tight end Mike Gesicki had four catches for 30 yards in Thursday's loss to the Baltimore Ravens. The veteran had two touchdowns in the win over the Raiders in Week 9. However, he cooled off significantly on Thursday. Granted, he had nine targets from Joe Burrow. Still, fantasy managers were disappointed with the end result. With the Bengals sitting on a 4-6 record, the team will look to rebound in Week 11 against a capable Chargers defense. Gesicki should be viewed as a risky, high-upside fantasy option for that one, although his outlook won't be as favorable if Tee Higgins (quadriceps) is back on the field.

Chase Brown Has Another Quality Outing On Thursday
Cincinnati Bengals running back Chase Brown ran for 42 yards and a touchdown off 14 carries in Thursday's one-point loss to Baltimore. He added nine catches for 52 yards. The 24-year-old has been solid of late. Although Brown played better in the Week 9 victory over the Las Vegas Raiders, he still picked up his seventh touchdown in his last seven appearances. With a tough Chargers defense on the horizon for Week 11, Brown remains a viable fantasy option, even more so with Zack Moss (neck) done for the rest of the 2024-25 campaign.
