Cowboys Offense Without Dak Prescott

• 🤕 Dak Prescott is expected to go on IR after a hamstring injury, impacting the Cowboys' offense.
• 🎯 CeeDee Lamb is still considered a must-start fantasy receiver despite a shoulder injury, as Cooper Rush will heavily rely on him.
• 📉 Outside of Lamb, the Cowboys' offensive options are considered very meek, with only Rico Dowdle being a potential flex play.
• 🚫 Managers are advised to stay away from most Cowboys players due to the backup quarterback and a strong Eagles defense.

Steelers Acquire Mike Williams

• 🤝 The Steelers traded for Mike Williams from the Jets, adding a deep threat to their receiving corps.
• 🚀 This move is seen as an elevation for Russell Wilson, making him a more viable starting option in fantasy.
• 📈 Williams is a good stash candidate, but unlikely to be a fantasy starter unless George Pickens is sidelined.

Christian McCaffrey's Return and 49ers Backfield

• 🔙 Christian McCaffrey is expected to return in Week 10 against the Buccaneers, regardless of the matchup.
• 🏃‍♂️ While Jordan Mason and Elijah Mitchell will still see carries, McCaffrey will receive the bulk of the work.
• 🤔 Managers are advised to start McCaffrey, but there's a slight risk of re-injury or a limited snap count in his first game back.

Bengals Backfield and Ravens Matchup

• 🔄 Chase Brown is the starter for the Bengals, with Khil Herbert serving as an insurance policy.
• 📉 The Ravens' run defense is considered fantastic, making Chase Brown a risky start despite his recent production.
• 📈 Mike Gesicki is a strong start at tight end as long as T. Higgins is out, benefiting from increased targets.

Roster Trends: Most Added, Dropped, Traded

• 📈 Demarcus Robinson and Quentin Johnston are among the most added players, with Robinson showing touchdown potential and Johnston having flashes of production.
• 📉 Jaylen McMillan is a notable player on the dropped list, with a difficult schedule and the return of Mike Evans looming.
• 🔄 DeAndre Hopkins is a sell-high candidate after a two-touchdown game, though he has looked good and the Chiefs need receiver help.
• 📉 Jaylen Waddle is a buy-low candidate, but his value is impacted by Tyreek Hill and Devon Achane's target share.

Running Back Roundtable

• 🤔 Breece Hall is considered a problem for fantasy managers, no longer an RB1 due to limited touches and a pass-heavy offense.
• 🤷‍♂️ The Jaguars backfield is difficult to trust, with both Travis Etienne and Tank Bigsby being touchdown-dependent flex plays.
• 🚀 Jonathan Brooks is expected to get 6-8 carries if activated, potentially reducing Chuba Hubbard's role long-term.
• 🔥 Najee Harris is an easy start as an RB2/flex due to improved offensive dynamics and a favorable matchup, but his schedule turns terrible later.

Start/Bench/Cut

• 🌟 Baker Mayfield is a strong start, even without his top receivers, while Patrick Mahomes is a bench option due to a tough matchup.
• 🎯 Daniel Jones is a start for Week 10 against the Panthers, but a cut for the rest of the season.
• 🚀 DeAndre Hopkins is a starter, but Calvin Ridley is a cut due to inconsistency and Khil Shakir is a bench option.
• 🌟 Josh Downs is favored over Tank Dell (even with Nico Collins back) and Courtland Sutton due to consistent targets and favorable matchups.
• 🌟 Evan Engram is a start at tight end, while Hunter Henry is a bench option due to Drake May's reliance on him, and Kyle Pitts is a cut due to inconsistency.
