Fantasy football managers are adjusting their lineups for Week 10 as several players see their stock rise or fall based on recent performances and matchups.
Risers
Carolina Panthers quarterback Bryce Young emerges as a top riser after throwing for 276 yards and three touchdowns against the Denver Broncos in Week 9. Young has now produced multiple touchdowns in five of eight starts and at least 276 passing yards in six of eight games. He faces the New Orleans Saints in Week 10, making him a near must-start option.
Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud also rises despite a tough matchup against the Cleveland Browns. Stroud has thrown for 2,251 yards with 16 touchdowns and only two interceptions, averaging 7.98 yards per attempt. With a deep receiving corps including Nico Collins, Tank Dell, and Marvin Harrison Jr., Stroud remains a top-12 fantasy quarterback.
New York Jets running back Breece Hall returns to form with 18 touches in his first game back, moving him into the top 20 running backs. The Jets face the Buffalo Bills, who have allowed the second-most fantasy points to opposing running backs, potentially allowing both Hall and Braelon Allen to be viable RB2 options.
Baltimore Ravens running back Derrick Henry and wide receiver Zay Flowers benefit from the expected insertion of quarterback Jacoby Brissett. Brissett's pass-heavy tendencies could open running lanes for Henry, who has 689 rushing yards and eight touchdowns, while Flowers has 43 receptions for 614 yards and three touchdowns.
New Orleans Saints rookie wide receiver Jordyn Tyson saw five targets in his debut despite running only 34.8% of routes. His route share is expected to increase, making him a low-end WR3 with upside in a potential shootout against the Panthers.
Fallers
Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford slides after throwing nine interceptions, his most since 2023, and failing to reach 230 passing yards since Week 5. His 6.9 yards per attempt is tied for his worst mark since joining the Rams. If Puka Nacua's knee injury is serious, Stafford could fall out of the top 24 quarterbacks.
Cleveland Browns running back Quinshon Judkins managed only 5.5 PPR fantasy points against the Saints despite overtime snaps. Poor rush efficiency and competition from Dylan Sampson for targets limit his upside against the Texans in Week 10.
New York Giants running back Devin Singletary drops to a desperation flex option with the expected return of Cam Skattebo, who will reclaim early-down work. Singletary reverts to a third-down and two-minute drill role.
Houston Texans wide receiver Nico Collins falls despite a touchdown catch in Week 9. He has not seen more than five targets in a game since Week 5, with a 14.4% target share and 62.9% snap share over his last three games due to a heavy receiver rotation.
Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Brenton Strange is capped by low pass volume; Trevor Lawrence has thrown only 40 combined passes in the last two games. As 10-point favorites against the Tennessee Titans, the Jaguars are unlikely to throw more than 25 times, limiting Strange to high-end TE2 status with touchdown dependency.
