Sapp played in four games in 2013 after being claimed off waivers from the Jets in November. He’s a special teamer and deep reserve on defense.

Watson and the Browns used Houston’s aggressiveness against them, managing 65 passing yards on 13 passes behind the line of scrimmage. His best throw was a strike to Harold Fannin Jr. on Cleveland’s final drive of the game, a 30-yarder that moved the Browns into a goal-to-go situation they would quickly convert. Watson has returned stable QB2 superflex value at a bottom of the basement price this year. He’ll head into the Week 11 bye looking like a reasonable bet to continue doing that.

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.

Klubik also added 26 yards rushing on the day. The rookie from Clemson looked pretty good for most of the second half, with no problem driving the ball down the field to his receivers. Some of those passes sailed on him, and he held onto the ball too long at times, but he has the arm and the ability to make enough throws to move the ball down the field and keep the Jets’ receivers relevant for fantasy football. He may have to start next week against the Chargers with Geno Smith (head/ankle) leaving this game early.

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.

Cousins didn’t exactly stuff the box score in this one, but his performance provided a noticeable upgrade for the Vikings’ passing game. Getting the start on a short week following his trade to the Vikings, Cousins struggled early on, but eventually found his footing on the road against a solid Packers defense. His first big play of the game came on a 38-yard touchdown pass to Myles Price, where he placed the ball perfectly between three defenders to find Price, who then turned the ball upfield for the long score. In the fourth quarter, Cousins would connect with Gavin Bartholomew for his second touchdown pass of the day, which all but put the game out of reach for the Packers. With a full week to get ready for Week 11’s game against the Niners, we would expect Cousins and the offense to look a little more in sync. Cousins profiles as a mid-QB2 next week.

Benford was questionable to play in Week 10 with a wrist injury but was cleared to go. He then injured his groin in the fourth quarter and will not return to the game. The Bills are set to face the Dolphins in Week 11 before facing the Chiefs the following week, so there is a chance that they hold their top cornerback out for next week. We’ll have to see if he is able to practice at all during the week.
