Dart just keeps getting it done


Before we get to my random thoughts for the week. Let’s quickly go over some of the impactful trades that occurred this week and what they mean from a fantasy perspective. Jakobi Meyers heads to the Jaguars to become the starter opposite Brian Thomas. This is a big upgrade at receiver for the Jaguars, giving Trevor Lawrence a nice one-two punch. Something was needed after the team lost Travis Hunter. Meyers probably doesn’t see much of an increase in his fantasy value, though. He heads to a better offense but has more quality options to compete with for playing time. As for the Raiders, look for rookies Dont’e Thornton and Jack Bech to get a chance for more playing time. Neither is very exciting fantasy options but might be worth streaming if one emerges and starts getting consistent targets.

Rashid Shaheed heads to the Seahawks but we aren’t sure the exact role he plays with his new team. Tory Horton is emerging as a legit threat for the Seahawks and Cooper Kupp remains around. Shaheed could play more of a situational role, being used to stretch the field for the high-powered Seahawks offense. This is likely a lateral move for him. He heads to a much better passing game but could get a few less targets. The Saints could turn to Devaughn Vele for a starting role opposite Chris Olave. Vele might be worth a look for fantasy teams in deeper formats.

The rest of the big trades were defensively. Cornerback Sauce Gardner was traded to the Colts, giving that team a big upgrade in the secondary. He should be a huge help to that pass defense, which has been a problem at times for the Colts this year.

The Colts traded receiver Adonai Mitchell to the Jets in the Gardner trade. This is good news for Mitchell, who was seeing little playing time with the Colts. It would not surprise to see Mitchell emerge as a starter for the Jets sooner than later. His fantasy value is on the rise with this move.

The Jets also traded defensive tackle Quinnen Williams to the Cowboys. Williams is a huge upgrade for the defensive line. He should help shore up the run defense a little and provide a better pass rush. The Cowboys still have plenty of holes defensively, though, so don’t expect this defense to suddenly be a difference maker for fantasy teams.

All and all, it was an interesting trade deadline, seeing several players getting traded. Sometimes it can be a little boring in the NFL, but at least we are seeing a little more movement in recent years. It takes for an exciting time of year.

Now for my random thoughts for the week. . . . .

I wouldn’t get too down on Daniel Jones after his turnover-filled game. He had to throw the ball 50 times last week as the Colts played catchup. This isn’t a formula that is going to be advantageous for Jones to succeed. The Colts will be in closer games going forward, so I look for Jones to rebound. Don’t panic over one bad week. I don’t like him much from a fantasy perspective this week, but still feel he will be just fine in this offense going forward. You can’t discount what he has done to start the year.

Now the Cowboys offense is starting to concern me. This unit was rolling early in the year but fell on hard times in recent weeks. Dak Prescott has fewer than 19 fantasy points two straight games and CeeDee Lamb is yet to have that monster game this year. It is a little concerning, seeing Prescott struggle to find success after his great start to the season. The entire Cowboys team is a mess right now, so you have to wonder if they will find their footing again. Not good in Dallas right now.

Drake London is so good. The performance he had last week was unbelievable. And I don’t have total faith in his quarterback, which makes his numbers this season even more impressive. He is so big and strong, making tough catches look easy. If Michael Penix keeps growing, London is just going to get better. The sky is the limit for London.

What the heck is going on with Rome Odunze? He didn’t catch a pass this last week and has fewer than 35 yards three of four games. The Bears have a lot of weapons in the passing game, though, so don’t be surprised if some of these guys disappear some weeks. There are just a lot of mouths to feed. Oduzne will have some big games the rest of the way. Don’t get too fired up over his down play in recent weeks.

It is amazing what a healthy Brock Bowers can do. He has really struggled with a knee injury since early in the season but finally looked healthy last week. Bowers didn’t have that bulky knee brace on last week and looked much quicker. He had one of those game-changing fantasy performances. It was actually one of the best fantasy games for a tight end ever, scoring 43.3 fantasy points. And now with Meyers gone, you could see Bowers getting even more looks in this offense. He could be a league-winner this season.

I actually feel like Rico Dowdle could be in the same boat as Bowers. The Panthers have given Dowdle the lead role once again and he looked amazing last week against a really good Packers rush defense. He now has 100-yard rushing games three of five. The Panthers are going to run their offense through him the rest of the way. Look for a ton of volume from Dowdle the rest of the way.

News and Notes: The Falcons signed kicker Zane Gonzalez and released kicker Parker Romo on Tuesday. Gonzalez will take over the kicking duties for the Falcons going forward. . . . .The Jaguars acquired wide receiver Jakobi Meyers from the Las Vegas Raiders in exchange for fourth- and sixth-round draft picks on Tuesday. Meyers should move into a starting role immediately for the Jaguars. . . . .The Jets acquired wide receiver Adonai Mitchell and two first-round picks from the Colts on Tuesday in exchange for cornerback Sauce Gardner. Mitchell could move into a prominent role with the Jets while Gardner becomes the top cornerback for the Colts. . . . .The Bears acquired defensive end Joe Tryon-Shoyinka and a seventh-round draft pick from the Browns on Tuesday in exchange for a sixth-round pick. . . . .Dallas traded for defensive lineman Quinnen Williams from the Jets in exchange for a 2026 first-round pick and more on Tuesday. Williams is a huge upgrade along the line for the Cowboys. . . . .The Seahawks acquired wide receiver Rashid Shaheed from the Saints for a fourth- and fifth-round pick in the 2026 draft on Tuesday. . . . .The Bengals traded linebacker Logan Wilson to the Cowboys for a seventh-round pick on Tuesday. . . .Miami traded defensive end Jaelan Phillips to the Eagles for a third-round pick on Tuesday. Phillips gives the Eagles another top edge rusher along the line.

HOT PLAYS

Jaxson Dart, QB, Giants. Dart just keeps getting it done. He is third overall in fantasy quarterback scoring his last three games. He has 20-plus fantasy points every game he has played this year. Dart has four straight games with a rushing touchdown and multiple touchdowns all six of his starts. His consistency is off the charts. Dart should have another big game this week against the Bears, a team that allows the fifth most fantasy points to quarterbacks. The Bears allowed nearly 500-passing yards last week.

Jaylen Warren, RB, Steelers. Warren had his first two-touchdown game of the season last week. He ran for just 31 yards but still got a ton of touches and produced good fantasy numbers. He has 17-plus fantasy points two of three games. We like him to keep it going this week against the Chargers. The Steelers are going to need to score some points to keep up with that offense, so Warren has good touchdown potential once again. Plus, the Chargers have allowed more than 160-rushing yards two games this season.

Keenan Allen, WR, Chargers. Allen is 11th in fantasy receiver scoring his last three games and 13th overall for the season. His numbers are even down a little the last two games but has at least five targets each of his last two games. We like him to get it going this week against a bad Steelers secondary. Pittsburgh allows the most fantasy points to receivers this year and 300-yard games three straight and four of five games. You will want to get all Chargers passing game options involved in this one, including Allen.

Kyle Monangai, RB, Bears. Sure, D’Andre Swift has a chance to return this week, but we are still starting Monangai. He is going to get his touches after nearing nearly 200 total yards in his first NFL start. He has 17-plus fantasy points two of three games. Monangai has looked tremendous in recent weeks and is going to keep getting double-digit touches in this offense. He can post big numbers against this week against the Giants, a team that allows the second-most fantasy points to running backs. The Giants have allowed 192.3-rushing yards per game their last three games.

Jordan Addison, WR, Vikings. Addison was kind of quiet last week but had at least 11 fantasy points four straight before that showing. He has been really good most of the season. Don’t get too down on him over a game. Addison will return to his big ways this week against the Ravens, a team that allows the fifth most fantasy points to receivers. Baltimore has allowed at least 245-passing yards four of five games. 

COLD PLAYS   

Breece Hall, RB, Jets. Hall had his best game of the season his last time out but that was against a brutal Bengals defense. He had fewer than eight fantasy points two straight games before that bit Week 8. He has been up and down in a Jets offense that has struggled often this season. We look for a down game from Hall this week against the Browns. Cleveland has one of the best defenses in football and allows the second fewest fantasy points to running backs.

Woody Marks, RB, Texans. Just when you thought you might be able to start trusting Marks in your fantasy lineup, he scored just 2.7 fantasy points last week. He remains a volatile fantasy play for a team that has struggled to run the ball at times this year. He is more of a matchup play and one against the Jaguars this week is not a good one for Marks. Jacksonville allows the ninth fewest fantasy points to running backs. The Texans ran for just 87 yards against the Jaguars in Week 3.

Daniel Jones, QB, Colts. Jones had his first poor game of the season last week, turning the ball over five times. The Colts got down early in this game, though, and had to air it often much of the second half. This wasn’t a good thing for Jones or the Colts offense. We look for them to get a lead this week against the Falcons and take the air out of the ball. Jones could have a ho-hum performance in Week 10 against Atlanta, a team that allows the fifth fewest fantasy points to quarterbacks. The Falcons have allowed less than 200-passing yards all but a game.

Khalil Shakir, WR, Bills. Shakir is the most dependable fantasy receiver for the Bills. He has 11-plus fantasy points two straight games and six total for the season. His yardage totals aren’t great, though, so he can be a little touchdown dependent. And we aren’t sure he finds the end zone this week against the Dolphins. Miami can’t stop the run but do well against the pass, allowing the fewest fantasy points to receivers. Shakir did score against Miami in Week 3 but had just four receptions for 45 yards.

Tyler Warren, TE, Colts. Warren has cooled a bit since his fantastic start to his NFL career. He has less than double-digit fantasy points two straight games. He is getting looks, having 12 targets those two games, but is making few big plays with those looks. And we think it could be more of the same this week against the Falcons, a team that has completely shut down tight ends this season. Atlanta allows the fewest fantasy points to tight ends.

SLEEPERS    

R.J. Harvey, RB, Broncos. Harvey played 32 percent of the snaps last week, his highest total since Week 4. Harvey has touchdowns three straight games and has 16-plus fantasy points two straight. Harvey is starting to get more work and taking advantage. He has some fantasy potential this week against the Raiders. Las Vegas allows the 12th most fantasy points to running backs and 150-plus rushing yards two straight games.

J.J. McCarthy, QB, Vikings. McCarthy returned from his ankle injury last week and played a strong game, leading his team to an upset road win against a good Lions team. McCarthy had a three-touchdown performance, giving him three-touchdown games two of three this season. He has topped 21 fantasy points two games as well. He has some potential in this potent Vikings offense, especially this week against the Ravens. Baltimore allows the eighth most fantasy points to quarterbacks.

Ty Johnson, RB, Bills. Johnson doesn’t get much weekly work but gets some touches on a weekly basis. He scored a season high 10 fantasy points last week. The only reason we kind of like Johnson this week is because you have to think the Bills are going to blow out the Dolphins. This means that Johnson could get some garbage time touches against a bad defense. Miami allows the sixth most fantasy points to running backs and at least 122-rushing yards all but two games.

Darius Slayton, WR, Giants. Slayton returned to the lineup Week 8 and has played at least 73 percent of the snaps two straight games. He was targeted a season-high seven times last week, catching five passes for 62 yards. He has some potential for the big game in this offense, especially this week against the Bears. Chicago allows the third most fantasy points to receivers. Slayton is worth a look as a WR3 or flex option in Week 10.

Dalton Schultz, TE, Texans. Schultz had six receptions for 77 yards on eight targets last week against a good Broncos defense. He has 11-plus fantasy points three of four games. He has been really consistent in recent weeks, making him a good spot play for fantasy owners. And this week against the Jaguars might be a spot to play him. Jacksonville struggles to stop the tight end, allowing the second-most fantasy points to tight ends. Schultz had five receptions against the Jags in Week 3.

High/Low Scoring Games

Each week, we will take a look at some of the high and low-scoring games for the coming week. In high-scoring affairs, get your marginal players on those teams in your lineup to take advantage of the possible points barrage. And in the low-scoring games, keep those marginal players on the bench and make sure to have your defenses involved in those contests.

High Scoring Games: Ravens/Vikings, Bills/Dolphins, Giants/Bears, Patriots/Bucs, Lions/Commanders, Rams/49ers.

Low Scoring Games: Raiders/Broncos, Browns/Jets, Jaguars/Texans, Saints/Panthers.

Bye Weeks: Bengals, Cowboys, Chiefs, Titans.

Starts, Sits, Sleepers: Week 10

Player Notes
Dalton Kincaid Nov 8 12:10am CT
Dalton Kincaid

Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid is ready to shine again in a Week 10 matchup with the Miami Dolphins. Kincaid leads all Bills receivers with 411 yards despite missing one game. The Bills' tight end posted his second 100-yard game of the season last week, and faces a Dolphins defense that has given up the fifth-highest weekly score to tight ends this season. In their Week 3 matchup, Kincaid found the endzone while hauling in five catches for 66 yards. Kincaid is a must-start this week in a juicy matchup during the early slate of games.

From RotoBaller

KaVontae Turpin Nov 8 12:00am CT
KaVontae Turpin

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver KaVontae Turpin has just four catches for 25 yards over his last three games, but he has offered a much greater spark on special teams and should continue to handle return duties when the team returns from its Week 10 bye. Turpin has 18 kick returns over his last four games, including six last week against the Arizona Cardinals. His 722 kick return yards in 2025 rank fourth-most in the NFL. Turpin's role on offense has been minimal behind CeeDee Lamb, George Pickens, and Jalen Tolbert, but he should continue to make a significant impact on special teams when the Cowboys face the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 11.

From RotoBaller

Keon Coleman Nov 8 12:00am CT
Keon Coleman

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Keon Coleman has seen his targets diminished as the offense continues to focus on Khalil Shakir and Dalton Kincaid in the passing game. The Bills' reliance on their running game, first in the NFL with 161.5 yards per game, also factors into Coleman's diminished targets. The second-year receiver saw just two targets last week and hasn't eclipsed 50 yards in a game since Week 1. Coleman should not be started in any format until he can carve out a consistent role in the Bills' explosive offense.

From RotoBaller

Noah Gray Nov 8 12:00am CT
Noah Gray

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Noah Gray was held without a catch and played a season-low 37 percent of the offensive snaps during last week's loss to the Buffalo Bills. The direct backup to Travis Kelce heads into the Chiefs' bye week with a goal to get back on track, earn more snaps, and produce at a higher level in Week 11 against the Denver Broncos. It has been a disappointing start to Gray's fifth pro season. Last year, he had occasional standalone value and finished the year as the overall TE22 in PPR leagues. So far this year, he is the TE55, has just 1.2 touchdowns per game, and is still searching for his first touchdown of the campaign. Even as Kelce shows some signs of aging, Gray can be dropped to waivers in all redraft and most dynasty leagues.

From RotoBaller

Cam Skattebo Nov 7 11:50pm CT
Cam Skattebo

New York Giants running back Cam Skattebo (ankle) underwent season-ending surgery last week, but he is not expected to face a very complicated rehab process, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Although the rookie suffered a dislocated ankle, fractured fibula, and ruptured deltoid ligament in Week 8, he quickly underwent successful surgery and is on track to return to football action within six months. "Even at the very latest benchmark, he should be ready to roll for OTAs and minicamp," Rapoport wrote in an X post about Skattebo. As the Giants approach the back half of their season, they'll turn to Devin Singletary and Tyrone Tracy Jr. to lead their backfield. Redraft managers can drop Skattebo, but dynasty managers should hold onto him, as he'll likely be a high-end RB2 next season.

From RotoBaller

Chris Boswell Nov 7 11:50pm CT
Chris Boswell

Last week, Pittsburgh Steelers kicker Chris Boswell converted both of his field goal attempts and all three extra points in a 27-20 victory over the Indianapolis Colts. He should stay steady in a Week 10 showdown with the Los Angeles Chargers. The Chargers' defense has been solid overall, but Boswell has consistently shown to be matchup-proof and dependable for both the Steelers and fantasy managers alike. The veteran is 14-for-15 on field-goal attempts of 40 yards or more and a perfect 20-for-20 on extra points this season, his 11th as a pro. Boswell can remain locked into fantasy lineups as a top-10 kicking option.

From RotoBaller

Khalil Shakir Nov 7 11:50pm CT
Khalil Shakir

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Khalil Shakir has emerged as a target monster in the team's high-powered offense. Shakir has led the team in targets in each of their two matchups since their bye week, and faces a Miami Dolphins defense that he burned for a touchdown in Week 3. The fourth-year receiver is on pace to exceed last year's breakout season. Shakir is currently on pace for 80 receptions, 848 yards, and six touchdowns, all career highs. The team has done an excellent job of getting the ball into Shakir's hands on short-to-intermediate passes and letting him use his elusiveness to gain yards after the catch. Look for another high-usage day as quarterback Josh Allen and the Bills offense attack their divisional rival.

From RotoBaller

Josh Allen Nov 7 11:40pm CT
Josh Allen

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen has averaged 23.7 fantasy points per game this season, sitting atop the rankings as he heads into a Week 10 matchup with the Dolphins. When Allen last faced Miami in Week 3, he posted 213 passing yards with three touchdowns. He added 25 more rushing yards. The former Wyoming star is coming off a dominant offensive performance against a top-flight Kansas City Chiefs defense in Week 9, where he posted 273 yards passing with three touchdowns (one passing, and two rushing). The Bills offense has been unstoppable following their bye week, and should continue to soar this week.

From RotoBaller

Jahan Dotson Nov 7 11:40pm CT
Jahan Dotson

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Jahan Dotson remains third on the depth chart with a low floor heading into Week 10 against the Green Bay Packers, but his ability to deliver big plays can't be ignored. The 25-year-old has three catches over his last four games, and each of them went for at least 17 yards. The highlight of his year so far was a 40-yard touchdown in the Eagles' last game against the New York Giants. Dotson is targeted far less than A.J. Brown, DeVonta Smith, and Dallas Goedert, but we can't rule out Jalen Hurts throwing the ball his way a few times, especially if the Eagles find themselves in a stalemate with the Packers and need a spark. With that said, there's a lot of risk here, and Dotson's low floor outweighs his chance of making a big play. He can be left on waivers in fantasy leagues with 14 or fewer teams.

From RotoBaller

Kameron Johnson Nov 7 11:40pm CT
Kameron Johnson

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Kameron Johnson has been held without a catch in each of his last two games, and he'll likely remain off the fantasy radar in Week 10 against the New England Patriots. While Tampa Bay has been hit by the injury bug on offense, they've found receivers other than Johnson to step up and fill larger roles. For example, players like Tez Johnson and Sterling Shepard have been more involved with Mike Evans (collarbone) and Chris Godwin Jr. (fibula) sidelined. Meanwhile, Johnson has zero catches on one target over his last two games. He has just four catches this whole season, and all four came in Week 6 against the 49ers. The second-year Barton product should remain primarily involved on special teams, where he has four kick returns and four punt returns over the last two weeks.

From RotoBaller

Pat Freiermuth Nov 7 11:30pm CT
Pat Freiermuth

Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Pat Freiermuth has topped four targets in just one game this season but will hope to remain a reliable red-zone target for quarterback Aaron Rodgers in a Week 10 clash with the Los Angeles Chargers. Freiermuth has three touchdown catches over his last three contests, including two from inside the 20-yard line. Unfortunately, if he doesn't find the end zone on Sunday night, his fantasy output will likely disappoint as the Chargers have surrendered the fifth-fewest receptions and fifth-fewest yards to opposing tight ends this year. The 27-year-old is a fine dart throw in a pinch, but Freiermuth can't be started with any real confidence this week.

From RotoBaller

Jonnu Smith Nov 7 11:20pm CT
Jonnu Smith

Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Jonnu Smith has not eclipsed 30 receiving yards in any contest this season and will face a tough test against the Los Angeles Chargers this week. The Chargers' defense has been solid across the board, limiting opposing tight ends to the sixth-fewest fantasy points per game. On the bright side, Smith did earn five targets last week, tied for the second-most on the team. He could be equally or more involved in what's projected to be a close matchup on Sunday night, but it's hard to trust him with both Pat Freiermuth and Darnell Washington also earning opportunities. Smith checks in as the TE26 in RotoBaller's Week 10 rankings and should be avoided in most formats.

From RotoBaller

Rashid Shaheed Nov 7 11:20pm CT
Rashid Shaheed

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Rashid Shaheed "might need to play extensively" in Week 10 against the Arizona Cardinals, according to Brady Henderson of ESPN.com. Henderson notes that Shaheed, who was acquired from the New Orleans Saints earlier this week, may be tasked with handling a large workload as the Seahawks overcome injuries to receivers Cooper Kupp (heel, hamstring), Jake Bobo (calf), Dareke Young (hip), and Tory Horton (groin/shin) is doubtful. Of that group, Kupp is the only one with a real chance to play. Shaheed and Kupp both figure to get involved alongside alpha receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba. Shaheed is more of a big-play threat while Kupp offers a reliable presence in the short passing game. The 27-year-old is a low-floor, high-ceiling WR3 heading into a matchup against a Cardinals defense that most recently allowed Dallas' top two receivers to combine for 13 catches and 164 yards.

From RotoBaller

Dawson Knox Nov 7 11:10pm CT
Dawson Knox

Buffalo Bills tight end Dawson Knox has logged 288 offensive snaps this season, the most on the team at the position. However, that hasn't exactly helped his production. In Knox's eight appearances, he's caught only nine passes (14 targets) for 118 yards. He also has only one touchdown, which occurred in the Week 6 loss to the Atlanta Falcons. Knox was once a go-to option for quarterback Josh Allen, with the 28-year-old combining for 15 touchdowns in the 2021 and 2022 seasons. Unfortunately, he's regressed significantly since the start of the 2023 campaign, finding the end zone only four times. Granted, the 2019 No. 96 overall pick could have a decent fantasy showing at some point before the end of the year. Still, he's tough to trust, especially if Dalton Kincaid is on the field. With that in mind, Knox isn't worth starting in any fantasy format in Week 10 against the Miami Dolphins.

From RotoBaller

Calvin Austin III Nov 7 11:00pm CT
Calvin Austin III

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Calvin Austin III has seen six targets in each of his last two games and should stay involved against the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 10. Austin has shown flashes of chemistry with quarterback Aaron Rodgers throughout this season and appears to be locked in as the team's WR2 behind DK Metcalf. That said, he's still difficult to trust for fantasy purposes, especially in this matchup. The Chargers have been stout against the pass, allowing the fifth-fewest fantasy points per contest to opposing wideouts. Austin's utilization on Sunday night is worth monitoring, and he could be a speculative add in deeper formats, but fantasy managers should avoid starting him this week if possible.

From RotoBaller

Justice Hill Nov 7 10:50pm CT
Justice Hill

Baltimore Ravens running back Justice Hill hasn't done much throughout the 2025 campaign. Although he had two touchdowns in the Week 4 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, he's been quiet overall from a production standpoint. The 27-year-old logged a season-high 35 offensive snaps in Week 6 versus the Los Angeles Rams. Yet, since the Ravens returned from their bye week, that number dropped considerably, with Hill logging only 11 offensive snaps in the Thursday night win over the Miami Dolphins in Week 9. With Baltimore looking to build on a two-game winning streak, the team is aiming for a much-needed victory over Minnesota on Sunday. The Vikings have looked good at times on the defensive side of the ball this season. However, regardless of the matchup, Hill isn't worth starting in any fantasy format. That likely won't change anytime soon, especially with Lamar Jackson and Derrick Henry getting most of the carries.

From RotoBaller

D.K. Metcalf Nov 7 10:40pm CT
D.K. Metcalf

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver DK Metcalf is coming off his worst showing of the season and will hope to bounce back against the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 10. Unfortunately for Metcalf, Los Angeles has been stingy against the pass, allowing the fifth-fewest fantasy points to opposing wideouts and the third-fewest passing yards per game. On the positive side, Metcalf has been heavily involved in scoring situations, earning over 60% of Pittsburgh's red-zone targets this year. Assuming this contest remains competitive throughout, quarterback Aaron Rodgers should look his way early and often, especially near the goal line. While Metcalf's weekly reliability has dipped, his upside keeps him in play as a low-end WR2 or strong flex option.

From RotoBaller

Dallas Goedert Nov 7 10:30pm CT
Dallas Goedert

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert has been a top fantasy producer. It's fair to say he's had some weak showings throughout the 2025 campaign. However, the 30-year-old has also had a few standout performances, including a two-touchdown effort in the Week 8 NFC East clash with the New York Giants, marking his second multi-score game of the year. Goedert has 30 catches and 289 receiving yards this season, which isn't great compared to other tight ends around the National Football League. On the other hand, he's made up for it by finding the end zone seven times, more than anyone else at the position. With the Eagles sitting among the top teams in the NFC, Philadelphia will look to extend its winning streak to three games by handling Green Bay on Monday night. The Packers have had trouble defending opposing tight ends this season. Still, Goedert's designation as a must-start fantasy option wouldn't have changed even if he had a challenging matchup on the horizon. That will remain the case until he shows signs of regression moving ahead.

From RotoBaller

Jaylen Warren Nov 7 10:20pm CT
Jaylen Warren

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Warren is fresh off a two-touchdown performance and will look to stay hot against the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 10. While the Chargers rank middle-of-the-pack against fantasy running backs, they have allowed the sixth-most yards per carry and fifth-most rushing touchdowns to the position. Los Angeles has been much tougher through the air than on the ground, so Pittsburgh may lean on Warren and the running game to keep pace on the road. Kenneth Gainwell and Kaleb Johnson will mix in for a few touches, but Warren's role as the Steelers' RB1 remains secure. Fantasy managers can confidently start him as a top-15 play on Sunday night.

From RotoBaller

Darius Cooper Nov 7 10:00pm CT
Darius Cooper

Philadelphia Eagles rookie wide receiver Darius Cooper saw his highest usage of his career so far and his first playing time since Week 3 in Philly's last game against the Giants. When Philly hosted New York, Cooper played 26 snaps, being on the field for 44.1% of offensive plays. His previous highest was 12 snaps on 20% of plays back in Week 2. Cooper was also close to having the first target of his career on a third quarter pass, but the play was negated by a pass interference, stopping him from recording his first stat. Even with A.J. Brown missing the contest, Cooper was unable to get involved. He's still unworthy of a bench spot on fantasy teams.
