4 days agoChicago Bears tight end
Cole Kmet is a risky starter in fantasy this week, given his limited usage and a mediocre matchup against the New England Patriots secondary. In Week 9, Kmet struggled to make an impact, finishing with no receptions in a disappointing performance against the Arizona Cardinals. With the Bears' offense still trying to find consistency, Kmet's role in the passing game has been a concern. However, he does have an opportunity to bounce back this week against a Patriots defense that ranks 22nd in pass yards allowed and 21st in scoring defense. While the Patriots' defense is generally solid, their vulnerability in coverage could open up chances for Kmet to get back on track. For fantasy managers, Kmet offers some upside, but with his recent lack of involvement, he remains a boom-or-bust option. If you're desperate for a tight end in Week 10, Kmet's matchup gives him a chance to produce, but proceed cautiously.

Rome Odunze has the potential for a breakout performance this Sunday as he faces a vulnerable New England Patriots secondary. Last week, Odunze emerged as the lone bright spot in a disappointing offensive showing for the Bears, leading the team with 104 yards against the Arizona Cardinals. His strong outing proved he can be a reliable target in a struggling offense. This week, Odunze will face a Patriots defense that ranks 22nd in pass yards allowed and 21st in scoring defense, giving him an excellent chance to continue his hot streak. With his ability to stretch the field and make big plays, Odunze could be in for another strong performance, especially if the Bears look to exploit the Patriots' weaknesses in the passing game. For fantasy managers needing a WR3 or flex option, Odunze could be a sleeper with solid upside in Week 10.

4 days agoChicago Bears wide receiver
Keenan Allen hopes to bounce back in Week 10 as he faces off against a challenging New England Patriots secondary. After a frustrating outing in Week 9 against the Arizona Cardinals—where Allen saw ten targets but only hauled in 4 catches for 36 yards—he's eager to regain his rhythm. Despite leading the team in targets, Allen struggled to make an impact, and he'll be looking to turn things around in a more favorable matchup this week. The Patriots' defense, while solid, ranks 22nd in pass yards allowed and 21st in scoring defense, providing Allen with a solid opportunity to produce. However, his role in the offense is unclear, so his fantasy upside is risky. Still, if you're banking on a bounce-back, Allen could be a WR3/WR4 with some potential this week.

4 days agoThis week, Chicago Bears wide receiver
DJ Moore is a risky WR3 option in fantasy football. After a disappointing performance in Week 9 against the Arizona Cardinals, where Moore managed just four catches for 33 yards and appeared frustrated with his offense, he's looking to bounce back. The good news is that the Patriots' defense presents an opportunity for Moore to get back on track. New England ranks 22nd in pass yards allowed and 21st in scoring defense, which should give Moore room to produce. However, there is some concern over Moore's potential one-on-one matchup with Patriots cornerback Christian Gonzalez, a talented rookie who has been solid in coverage. While Moore's upside is evident, his inconsistency and the challenging matchup against Gonzalez make him a risky play this week. If you're rolling with him, be prepared for a volatile performance, but the opportunity is for a bounce-back.

4 days agoChicago Bears running back
Roschon Johnson is a bit of a speculative play in Week 10 as he faces the New England Patriots. With the Bears' backfield set, Johnson is a potential dart throw for fantasy managers in deeper leagues or those looking for a sleeper. The Patriots' defense has struggled against the run this season, ranking 26th in rushing yards allowed and 21st in scoring defense, which presents a favorable matchup for Johnson. However, Johnson's role remains uncertain, with the Bears still trying to find their offensive rhythm. Until the Bears can stabilize their offensive game plan, Johnson remains more of a stash or desperation flex option rather than a reliable start. If you require a high-risk, high-reward play, Johnson's matchup could provide some upside, but proceed cautiously.

4 days agoChicago Bears running back
D'Andre Swift is primed to be a strong RB2 option in fantasy this Sunday as the Bears take on the New England Patriots. After a solid performance in Week 9, where Swift rushed for 51 yards on 16 carries and added six receptions for 31 yards, he should be in line for another productive outing. The Patriots' defense has struggled against the run this season, ranking 26th in rushing yards allowed and 21st in scoring defense. This sets up an excellent opportunity for Swift to take advantage of a vulnerable defense and produce solid fantasy numbers. With his involvement in both the running and passing game, Swift offers a high floor and plenty of upside for fantasy managers. If you're looking for reliable production from your RB2 slot, Swift should be in your lineup for Week 10.

4 days agoThis Sunday, Chicago Bears rookie quarterback
Caleb Williams presents a risky yet intriguing fantasy option as he faces the New England Patriots. After a disappointing performance in Week 9 against the Arizona Cardinals, where Williams completed 22 of 41 passes for 217 yards with no touchdowns, he's eager to bounce back and prove his potential. The Patriots' defense offers an opportunity for redemption, as they rank 22nd in the league for passing yards allowed and 21st in scoring defense. While Williams has shown flashes of promise, his inconsistency makes him a boom-or-bust play in fantasy this week. Still, with the Patriots struggling against the pass, Williams could thrive if he finds his rhythm. For fantasy managers looking for upside, he could be a high-risk, high-reward option in Week 10, especially if you're in need of a quarterback to take a gamble on.

4 days agoThe Carolina Panthers DST will take on the New York Giants in Munich, Germany, in Week 10. The Giants offense has scored 23 or more points just once this season, and Carolina's defense has allowed 23 or fewer points just once this year. It's a true movable object versus a stoppable force matchup. That being said, Carolina did have their best game to date against New Orleans in Week 9 despite forcing zero turnovers as they held the Saints to just two offensive touchdowns. The Panthers' DST could be a streaming option in deep leagues, but Carolina is not recommended fantasy defense in Week 10.

4 days agoCarolina Panthers kicker
Eddy Pineiro has been in fantasy purgatory for most of his 2024 campaign amid immense struggles for Carolina's offense. The team has flip-flopped quarterbacks, traded away receivers, and consistently failed to put him in a position to kick the ball. They did, however, show some improvement in Week 9 as Pineiro made a 48-yarder to go along with two extra points. He should still be wholly avoided for fantasy purposes, but there are definite signs of life for the placekicker in Carolina.

4 days agoCarolina Panthers rookie tight end
Ja'Tavion Sanders (ankle, wrist) came off the injury report Friday and will play against the New York Giants in Week 10. Over the last month, Sanders has been the Panthers' most reliable target, averaging four receptions for 51 yards per game during that stretch. Unfortunately, the rookie has yet to find the end zone in his NFL career, which has hurt his production numbers, but that milestone should indeed be crossed soon. The Giants defend tight ends surprisingly well, ranking third in the league in points allowed against the position. With tight end
Tommy Tremble (back) questionable, Sanders should see the majority of snaps once again. He is ranked as TE21 by RotoBaller for this matchup.

4 days agoCarolina Panthers undrafted rookie wide receiver
Jalen Coker will start in the team's Week 10 matchup against the New York Giants in Munich, Germany. Coker has been the surprise of the season for Carolina, with 14 catches for 222 yards and a touchdown over his last six games. With wide receiver
Jonathan Mingo traded to Dallas earlier this week, that could be a signal that Carolina brass believe in the kid from Holy Cross and want to see him with more snaps. In the last two weeks, Coker has combined for six receptions for 114 yards and a touchdown. While not a steady starting option, he could be a streaming player in deep-leagues against the Giants in Week 10.

4 days agoCarolina Panthers rookie wide receiver
Xavier Legette has scored a touchdown in two straight weeks, both coming in red zone targets. The Panthers rookie wideout will look to find the end zone again in the Germany game against the New York Giants. All four of Legette's scores this season have been from inside the 20-yard line, as his 6-foot-2, 227-pound frame has become his greatest advantage. While his down-to-down consistency still leaves more to be desired, Legette did hang on for a crucial 26-yard completion over the middle in the Panthers' game-winning drive in Week 9. Facing an unimpressive New York Giants defense in Week 10, he should have opportunities to build on his chemistry with quarterback
Bryce Young. Still, a WR3 for now, the rookie from South Carolina relies on scores for production.

4 days agoEarlier this week, running back
Chuba Hubbard agreed to a four-year, $33.2 million contract extension with the Carolina Panthers. Hubbard will look to keep things rolling against the New York Giants on Sunday. Hubbard has been one of the few bright spots for Carolina, ranking as RB7 in half-PPR scoring entering Week 10. He has absorbed all backfield work from running back
Miles Sanders, who sees fewer and fewer touches. While rookie running back
Jonathon Brooks (knee) is questionable for this German matchup against the Giants, there is no reason to expect a lighter workload for Hubbard, who sealed the team's Week 9 victory with a 16-yard touchdown run. He should be a safe RB2 in Week 10.

4 days agoCarolina Panthers quarterback
Bryce Young is coming off his best performance of the season against the New Orleans Saints in Week 9. Young finished that game with 171 yards, one touchdown, one interception, and a 61% completion rate. He also orchestrated a game-winning drive to secure Carolina's second win of the season. In Week 10, he'll travel to Germany to face a feeble New York Giants team who've lost four straight. Young has utilized some emerging targets in the Panthers' offense, such as tight end
Ja'Tavion Sanders and wide receivers
Xavier Legette and
Jalen Coker. Still, as a QB fighting for his starting job every week, the second-year quarterback remains a low-end QB2 this week.
