New York Jets tight end Kenyon Sadiq is currently rostered in just 10% of Yahoo leagues, but the rookie is coming off of a productive performance in a 35-12 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 9. Sadiq caught all four of his targets for 49 yards against the Chiefs and ranked second on the team in receptions and receiving yards, behind only wide receiver Omar Cooper Jr. Sadiq saw two more targets and three more receptions than fellow tight end Mason Taylor, while out-gaining Taylor 49 yards to 11 yards. Through nine games in 2026, Sadiq has caught 21 passes (on 31 targets) for 235 yards (11.2 yards per reception) and a touchdown, while adding a three-yard rushing touchdown. Sadiq and the Jets have a Week 10 matchup against a Buffalo Bills defense that allows 238.8 passing yards per game (29th in the NFL) and, according to Pro Football Reference, 7.4 fantasy points per game (14th in the NFL). Sadiq could garner consideration as a deep-league bench stash, and he remains a strong player in dynasty formats.--Ryan O'Bleness

Miami Dolphins tight end Greg Dulcich has not had a very productive 2026 season, recording 24 receptions for 270 yards (11.3 yards per catch) and zero touchdowns through eight games. He is second on the team in targets and receptions, and third in receiving yards, but the 1-7 Dolphins have struggled throughout the season. Most recently, Dulcich tallied just two catches (on four targets) for 14 yards in a 19-9 loss to the Detroit Lions in Week 9. Additionally, Miami quarterback Malik Willis (groin) was placed on IR on Nov. 10 due to a groin injury. Kyle McCord is expected to take over as Miami's starting quarterback. According to RotoBaller, Dulcich averages 5.1 fantasy points per game in half-PPR scoring formats. Dulcich ranks as RotoBaller's No. 30 tight end for Week 10, with the Dolphins playing the Indianapolis Colts. He is currently rostered in just 10% of Yahoo leagues, and there is no need for fantasy managers to add him.--Ryan O'Bleness

Running back Kendre Miller visited the Dallas Cowboys on Tuesday, and according to Joseph Hoyt of The Dallas Morning News, the Cowboys are expected to sign him to the team's practice squad. With Tyler Goodson (knee) expected to miss multiple weeks due to a knee injury, Miller has a chance to immediately play a significant role behind starter Javonte Williams. Williams is currently the only healthy running back listed on Dallas' roster, so Miller has a clear path to the No. 2 role in the running game for the Cowboys, but he will reportedly begin his tenure by spending some time on the practice squad as he familiarizes himself with a new team and new playbook. Miller was released by the New Orleans Saints on Nov. 7. In six games with the Saints in 2026, Miller recorded 57 carries for 159 yards (2.8 yards per carry) and two touchdowns, while adding nine receptions (on 13 targets) for 37 yards (4.1 yards per reception). Miller now has some fantasy football value as the direct handcuff to Williams, and he will likely earn a few touches of his own, but his exact workload will be worth monitoring.--Ryan O'Bleness

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Jalen Royals caught two passes for 18 yards in a Week 9 win over the New York Jets. He has tallied eight total receptions (on 14 targets) for 63 yards (7.9 yards per reception) and one touchdown in 2026. In terms of targets, Royals has worked behind tight ends Travis Kelce and Noah Gray, running backs Kenneth Walker III and Emmett Johnson, and wide receivers Rashee Rice and Xavier Worthy (hamstring) this season. Things didn't get any clearer for Royals on Tuesday, as the Chiefs acquired wideout Josh Downs from the Indianapolis Colts ahead of the trade deadline. There is a chance that Royals could see a slight uptick in opportunities in a Week 10 matchup against the Atlanta Falcons, with Worthy dealing with a hamstring issue and being considered "day-to-day," and Downs needing to get acclimated to his new team and playbook. However, Royals is currently rostered in 0% of Yahoo leagues and ranks as RotoBaller's No. 98 wide receiver for Week 10 (half PPR). He is way off the fantasy radar, and there is probably no need to add him until he proves he can be productive.--Ryan O'Bleness

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. (foot) is hopeful to get back on the field for the Week 10 matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals. Pittman has been out since October 10 due to a foot injury. He has resumed running and is hopeful to play for the first time since Week 4 on Sunday. Through three games, Pittman has recorded seven receptions for 89 yards and zero touchdowns. He figures to be significantly involved in the passing attack once he gets back on the field. It's unclear if he'll return this week, but it sounds like Pittman is getting closer to a return. Fantasy managers in need of help at wideout and are willing to be patient should consider adding Pittman this week.--Andy Webb

Seattle Seahawks tight end AJ Barner gave fantasy managers a nice performance during last week's win over the Arizona Cardinals. Barner hauled in two of his four targets for seven yards and a touchdown. He also rushed the ball three times for three yards and scored another touchdown on the ground. He hasn't been a huge factor in the offense this season, but hopefully this two-touchdown game will get him more involved going forward. The 24-year-old should remain on the TE2 radar ahead of the Week 10 matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders. Fantasy managers in need of an option because of injuries or bye weeks should consider adding Barner this week.--Andy Webb

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Dohnte Meyers has shown flashes during the first half of his rookie campaign. Through eight games, Meyers has hauled in 18 of his 26 targets for 222 receiving yards with zero touchdowns. The 26-year-old has played well at times, but his overall ceiling is limited with Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins ahead of him on the depth chart. Meyers has been locked into the third wideout role with Andrei Iosivas (thumb) on the Injured Reserve. He has taken advantage of it with five receptions for 81 yards over his last two games. His upside is limited with two star receivers ahead of him, but there is some stash value in dynasty leagues with Meyers.--Andy Webb

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Xavier Smith is back with the team after being waived in early October. Following a handful of injuries, the Rams signed Smith off the San Francisco 49ers practice squad on Tuesday. The Rams are in need of bodies at wideout with Puka Nacua (knee), Davante Adams (hamstring), and Jordan Whittington (back) all sidelined right now. So far this season, Smith has only seen one target, and he hasn't taken any offensive snaps since Week 3. The 29-year-old will probably only be depth for the Rams, but he could take some offensive snaps. Fantasy managers in deep leagues might want to consider stashing him with the Rams having multiple receivers out.--Andy Webb

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Ashton Dulin is expected to see an increased role following Tuesday's trade deadline. The Colts made some moves at the deadline and traded both Keenan Allen and Josh Downs. Now, Dulin might be the top or second target in Indy following the trades. This season, Dulin has recorded four receptions for 84 yards with one touchdown in eight games. He has been buried on the depth chart, so his impact has been minimal. The expectation is that he's going to see increased opportunities down the stretch of the season. The 29-year-old could be worth stashing in deep leagues with his role likely expanding.--Andy Webb

The New Orleans Saints are taking a wait-and-see approach on running back Travis Etienne Jr. (hamstring) as far as his return from Injured Reserve to play in Week 10 against the division-rival Carolina Panthers, according to Luke Johnson of The New Orleans Times-Picayune. "We'll see," head coach Kellen Moore said. "He's progressing well. We'll gather some more information and make a decision." Etienne was eligible to come off the IR to play in last week's overtime win over the Cleveland Browns, but the Saints decided he needed another week to recover. He has not played since the Week 3 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders, but Etienne is only 34 yards shy of quarterback Tyler Shough's team-leading 162 yards on the ground this year. If Etienne returns to practice on Wednesday, the 27-year-old will have a good chance to return as the Saints' lead back this weekend in a plus matchup against Carolina. Before his hamstring injury, the former Jaguars RB had 128 rushing yards on 30 carries while adding 11 catches for 51 yards in three games. Etienne could be eased back in when he is activated from IR, but he still remains the best bet to lead New Orleans in backfield touches and scrimmage yards when all is said and done in 2026.--Keith Hernandez

The New England Patriots did not make any trades at this year's NFL deadline on Tuesday, sources told Andrew Callahan of the Boston Herald. Despite plenty of injuries on offense, primarily at wide receiver and running back, the Patriots took a standstill approach at Tuesday's deadline and did not make any moves. Running back Rhamondre Stevenson (knee) is expected to miss several weeks, while RB TreVeyon Henderson (illness) could miss a third straight game this weekend in Germany against the Detroit Lions due to a neurological condition. If both Stevenson and Henderson are unavailable, Corey Kiner would become New England's RB1. Star receiver A.J. Brown (knee, ankle) could also miss another game this weekend. The Patriots were hesitant to part with future draft capital after trading a 2028 first-rounder and a 2027 fifth-rounder to the Philadelphia Eagles for Brown in the offseason. Additionally, they were operating with only around $5 million in remaining salary cap space for the 2026 season.--Keith Hernandez

New York Jets defensive end Will McDonald put in a request to be traded before Tuesday's NFL deadline, but the Jets did not oblige him and did not trade him, according to Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic. Cornerback Nahshon Wright remains on the roster, too, which is a mild surprise, according to Rosenblatt. McDonald has not been as productive in 2026 for the Jets while losing playing time to both David Bailey and Kingsley Enagbare. The 27-year-old former 15th overall pick in 2023 from Iowa State has 16 tackles (seven solo), three sacks, two tackles for loss, seven QB hits, a forced fumble, and two fumble recoveries in nine games so far in 2026 in his fourth year in the NFL. McDonald was much more productive over the last two seasons for Gang Green, recording 18.5 sacks in 32 games played for the Jets. Despite being 2-7 as they head into a Week 10 divisional clash with the Buffalo Bills, the Jets chose to stand pat at this year's trade deadline, with their biggest non-move coming in the form of retaining star running back Breece Hall.--Keith Hernandez

The Pittsburgh Steelers had discussions about a trade for Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr., Indianapolis Colts receiver Josh Downs, and Tennessee Titans receiver Calvin Ridley, sources told Gerry Dulac of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. Thomas and Ridley were not traded at Tuesday's NFL deadline, while Downs was sent to the Kansas City Chiefs. Thomas was a popular name leading up to the deadline, but the Jaguars never seemed all that interested in trading the former first-rounder despite him falling out of favor in the passing game in 2026 in his third year in the league. Instead of sending the 24-year-old pass-catcher away, the Jaguars sent plenty of draft capital to the Philadelphia Eagles, Atlanta Falcons, and New Orleans Saints on Monday for defensive tackle Jordan Davis, defensive back Jessie Bates III, and defensive tackle Davon Godchaux, respectively. Fantasy managers still holding Thomas would have preferred he be traded out of town after catching only 10 passes for 117 yards and two touchdowns in the first eight games of 2026. In the last four games, Thomas has put up three donuts for fantasy managers and has caught just one pass on seven targets for 12 yards. Thomas is impossible to trust in starting fantasy lineups in Week 10 against the division-rival Tennessee Titans.--Keith Hernandez

The Denver Broncos acquired linebacker Daiyan Henley from the division-rival Los Angeles Chargers on Tuesday, a source told Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network. The Broncos sent a 2027 fourth-round draft pick and a 2028 fifth-round pick to the Chargers for Henley, who is in the final year of his rookie deal in 2026. The soon-to-be 27-year-old Henley will not be a big salary cap hit. The Broncos already have linebackers Alex Singleton and Justin Strnad, but they have been seeking depth for a defense that currently ranks 23rd in the NFL against the run. The Broncos were also interested in trading for Indianapolis Colts RB Jonathan Taylor and Tennessee Titans RB Tony Pollard, but they did not meet the Colts' and Titans' asking prices and stood pat at the RB position. Singleton is among one of the best tackling linebackers in the league, but the Broncos want to take some pressure off him, as the 32-year-old leads all defensive players with 617 snaps played over the first nine weeks. Henley will allow Denver to give Singleton some more rest going forward. The 26-year-old former third-rounder from Washington State had a team-high 51 tackles for the Chargers in eight games before being traded and was also the Bolts' leading tackler in each of the last two seasons.--Keith Hernandez

The Denver Broncos and New York Giants were among the teams that were interested in trading for Tennessee Titans running back Tony Pollard, sources told NFL insider Jordan Schultz. But the Titans were adamant for weeks that they were unlikely to move Pollard, as he has been vital to the locker room and the continued development of second-year quarterback Cam Ward. Out of the AFC South, both Pollard and Indianapolis Colts star running back Jonathan Taylor stayed put at Tuesday's NFL trade deadline. The 29-year-old Pollard has also been a huge asset for fantasy managers in 2026, as he currently ranks as the RB16 in half-PPR scoring with 595 rushing yards and six touchdowns on 133 carries through eight games played, adding 14 catches for 70 yards on 21 targets. In the last five weeks, he has been a top-10 RB with five touchdowns and 374 rushing yards. Pollard, who is on an expiring deal, made sense for contending teams looking to bolster their backfield, as the Titans are 1-7 heading into a Week 10 home game against the division-rival Jacksonville Jaguars. Now that he is staying in Tennessee for the remainder of the 2026 season, the Titans could look to reach a contract extension with Pollard before the start of free agency next March.--Keith Hernandez

The Philadelphia Eagles waived running back Jaydon Blue on Tuesday, according to Zach Berman of The Athletic. With the move, the Eagles do not currently have another running back on their active roster behind starter Saquon Barkley as they head into their Week 10 bye, with Tank Bigsby (abdomen) and Will Shipley (foot) still on Injured Reserve. On the practice squad, they still have Elijah Mitchell, so if they do not add to the position before their Week 11 contest against the Pittsburgh Steelers, expect Mitchell to come up to the active 53-man roster to give them depth behind Barkley, who continues to battle through nagging hamstring and back injuries. The 22-year-old Blue, a fifth-rounder by the Dallas Cowboys in 2025 from Texas, was surprisingly cut by the Cowboys just before the start of the regular season. He stayed in the NFC East with the Eagles, but Blue mostly worked on special teams in two games in Philly, failing to record a rushing attempt while catching only one pass for nine yards. Even with the Eagles' offense extremely banged up, it is a bad sign that Blue is now available off waivers to all of the other NFL teams.--Keith Hernandez

After trading wide receivers Keenan Allen and Josh Downs to the San Francisco 49ers and Kansas City Chiefs, respectively, on Tuesday, the Indianapolis Colts signed Nick Westbrook-Ikhine to their 53-man active roster from their practice squad, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. Alec Pierce (heel) remains on Injured Reserve and has no timetable for a return, so with Allen and Downs now out of town, the Colts are looking at starting Laquon Treadwell, Ashton Dulin, and rookie Deion Burks in their Week 10 matchup against the Miami Dolphins. Westbrook-Ikhine will join Anthony Gould as they look for a role on offense going forward for the rebuilding Colts. The 29-year-old Westbrook-Ikhine has been active for only three games with Indy this year, failing to corral his only target in the passing game. He had a career-high 497 receiving yards and nine touchdowns on 32 receptions in 2024 in his final year with the Tennessee Titans, but he caught just 11 passes for 89 yards and no touchdowns last year in 15 games with Miami. In a Colts offense that is averaging just over 20 points per game in 2026, and after just losing their best two remaining WRs to trades, fantasy managers should be avoiding this receiving corps if they can.--Keith Hernandez

The Minnesota Vikings released veteran wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. on Tuesday, according to Ari Meirov of The 33rd Team. Beckham was signed to Minnesota's active roster off the practice squad for Monday's game against the Buffalo Bills, but he played only two snaps and was not targeted in the 23-6 loss. In his three games with the New York Giants earlier this year, OBJ had zero receptions on just one target. The Vikings need room on their active roster after acquiring veteran quarterback Kirk Cousins in a blockbuster trade with the Las Vegas Raiders. The 34-year-old Beckham is expected to return to Minnesota's practice squad, but he will only be eligible to be brought back up to the active roster for three more games this year. The three-time Pro Bowler (in each of his first three seasons in the NFL) is nearing the end of his NFL career in his 11 seasons and will not be on the fantasy radar in any format for the rest of the 2026 campaign.--Keith Hernandez

The San Francisco 49ers did not release wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk on Tuesday, according to David Lombardi of The San Francisco Standard. Reports suggested that the 49ers were likely to release Aiyuk on Tuesday, but that did not end up happening. Aiyuk does not count for a roster spot during his two-week unpaid roster exemption after the league reinstated him from the left-squad list this week. The former first-rounder's roster exemption will expire on Monday, Nov. 23, after the team's Week 11 game against the Minnesota Vikings in Mexico City. He has been on the 49ers' left-squad list since last December, but he got the ball moving recently by hiring agent Drew Rosenhaus as he looks to play football in 2026. After tearing the ACL, MCL, and meniscus in his right knee in October of 2024 (he missed all of last year), Aiyuk said he is "feeling great." San Francisco has three options: release Aiyuk, trade him, or keep him. Keeping him is out of the question, with the most likely scenario coming in the form of his release. The trade option is now out of the window after the deadline passed on Tuesday. Before getting hurt in 2024, Aiyuk had two straight 1,000-yard seasons with the 49ers, but he remains a long shot to return to fantasy relevance in the second half of the 2026 season.--Keith Hernandez

Carolina Panthers head coach Dave Canales made it sound like running back Jonathon Brooks (abdomen) was getting close to a return from Injured Reserve, according to Mike Kaye of ESPN. The Panthers are currently deciding whether they will open the 21-day practice window for Brooks this week. If the 23-year-old gets back on the practice field this week, he could be activated from IR and play in Week 10 against the division-rival New Orleans Saints. Brooks has not played since Week 2 due to a core-muscle injury, but when he returns, he will be back in the team's RB2 role as a change-of-pace complement to starter Chuba Hubbard. Brooks was seen working off to the side in one of the team's unofficial practices last week, so he is definitely getting closer to a return. Due to two torn ACLs, Brooks has only appeared in five games since entering the league in 2024, and he has played in just two games in 2026, carrying the football nine times for 30 yards while catching two passes for 43 yards. He is a speculative RB handcuff stash going into Week 10 action. Brooks is rostered in 37% of Yahoo leagues.--Keith Hernandez
