It was one of Young’s worst performances of the season considering the middle competition. Young posted a negative EPA per drop back and was 10 percent under his expected completion rate against New Orleans. His statistical day would have been a little less bleak if Darren Waller had been able to hang on to what would have been a 30-yard score in the first half. Young, who regular missed open wideouts in the intermediate areas, has struggled for most of the past month. Young will be a superflex option in Week 11 against the Ravens.

The Saints ramped up Tyson’s snaps and routes in his second game of the season, as the rookie ran a route on 32 of the team’s 47 drop backs on the day and easily led all New Orleans pass catchers in targets and receiving yards. Chris Olave, meanwhile, was limited to three catches for 30 yards on five targets. Tyson was targeted both in the short and intermediate areas, and nearly came up with a couple downfield grabs on poorly-thrown balls from Tyler Shough. The Saints saw fit to target Tyson twice on backfield screen looks in the second half. That kind of usage suggests Tyson could be an outsized part of the Saints offense going forward. He’ll be a WR3 option in Week 11 against the Bears.

The Bills leaned heavily on James Cook in this one, with Allen dropping back to pass just 21 times. When the Bills did pass, they took a few big shots down the field, which resulted in a long touchdown pass to D.J. Moore, but also a long interception on third down in what was ultimately an “arm punt.” Of Allen’s two rushing touchdowns, only one of them was on a tush push. The Bills quarterback has now rushed for 10+ touchdowns in four straight seasons, tying Jalen Hurts (2021-24) for the longest streak by a quarterback in NFL history, and he has 324 total touchdowns in his career, which is now the most by any player in their first 10 seasons in NFL history. He will look for another big fantasy day in Week 11 against the Dolphins.

McConkey is not taking the team flight to Baltimore, hence the Sunday rule-out. This has become a(nother) lost season for McConkey, who has gone from supposedly not even being injured entering Week 9 pre-game warmups to now missing back-to-back contests. McConkey’s own poor health coupled with Justin Herbert’s stunningly dreadful play is conspiring to make Ladd a WR4 we are no longer even sure about keeping around on our 12-team league benches. He’s a tough drop because of how little talent there is behind him in L.A., but it’s so difficult to envision McConkey contributing when it matters most during the fantasy playoffs.

Brown tried to gut it out through this issue early in the fourth quarter, but he ultimately walked off the field and into the locker room, likely ending his day. Even though he’s listed as questionable, we don’t expect him to return in a blowout loss. He will have a Week 11 bye to get healthy, though it’s looking like a lost season for the former superstar. Brown missed a month with a high-ankle injury early in the year, and now his lingering knee issue won’t go away, even as he tries to play through it.

After injuring his thumb in Friday’s practice, Addison has officially been ruled out for Sunday’s pivotal NFC North tilt against the Packers. With Jauan Jennings (calf) and T.J. Hockenson (wrist/chest) also sidelined, Kirk Cousins will be forced to rely on Myles Price, Tai Felton, and Jeshaun and his other receivers behind Justin Jefferson. Jefferson could be in line for a big day in his first game with Cousins since 2023. The Vikings also ruled out QB Kyler Murray, QB Max Brosmer, LB Blake Cashman, and DL Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins for Sunday’s game.

Mayfield suffered a lower leg injury in Week 9 against the Bears. He played through it then, but clearly it became a bigger issue after the adrenaline wore off. The Bucs are currently on bye, giving him some extra time to recover, but it may not be enough. Mayfield’s absence would give us another round of Jalon Daniels. The UDFA rookie made three starts earlier this year. He topped out at 189 passing yards and one touchdown.

Aidan Hutchinson hip-drop tackled Maye for a sack early in the first quarter. Maye limped off the field and made his way to the locker room shortly after going down. He was initially listed as questionable to return but has since been downgraded to out. A dreaded high-ankle sprain appears to be on the table right now. The good news is that the Patriots get their bye next week, which will give Maye some extra time to recover. Tommy DeVito will close out Week 10 under center.

No surprise here. St. Brown is good to go as a mid-range WR1 for Week 10. Sione Vaki is also active. Inactive for the Lions are CB D.J. Reed, C Cade Mays, DB Keith Abney II, LB Amen Ogbongbemiga, DT Mekhi Wingo, and EDGE Ahmed Hassanein.
