  • Josh Downs WR | IND

    Colts' Josh Downs: Falls back to earth in Week 10

    Downs secured one of two targets for three yards during the Colts' 31-25 overtime win over the Falcons on Sunday.

    Downs took a clear back seat to Michael Pittman and Alec Pierce, as well as rookie tight end Tyler Warren, during Indianapolis' victory in Berlin, a disappointing outcome given that he had scored in three consecutive appearances prior to Week 10. The Colts are headed into a bye, so Downs' next chance to bounce back will come in Kansas City in Week 12. Even after a disappointing outing, Downs retains solid fantasy value, especially in PPR formats.

  • Chargers' Oronde Gadsden: Set for MRI on knee

    Gadsden is scheduled to undergo an MRI on his left knee after exiting Sunday's 25-10 win over the Steelers in the third quarter, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    The rookie tight end finished with three catches for 13 yards on six targets before leaving the game when he made hard contact with the knee of a Steelers defender. The MRI will shed more light on the severity of Gadsden's injury, but his status for a Week 11 game in Jacksonville is murky. If he's sidelined next weekend, the Chargers would go back to Tyler Conklin and Will Dissly as their main pass-catching options at tight end.

  • Texans' Will Anderson: Forces fumble, sets up score

    Anderson had two tackles, including 1.0 sacks, one pass defensed and one forced fumble in Sunday's 36-29 win over the Jaguars in Week 10.

    Anderson's sack, which extended his streak in that category to four consecutive games, came on the game's final play. It also forced a fumble that teammate Sheldon Rankins scooped and returned 32 yards for a touchdown. Anderson is up to 7.0 sacks, two forced fumbles and one fumble recovery through nine games.

  • Texans' Braxton Berrios: Minimal playing time in win

    Berrios was untargeted and returned one kickoff for 32 yards in Sunday's 36-29 win over Jacksonville in Week 10.

    Berrios, who battled through a chest injury during the preparation for Week 10, was on the field for one snap on offense and five on special teams. The return of injured wideouts like Christian Kirk have marginalized Berrios, who has played just one snap on offense that last two games.

  • Texans' Xavier Hutchinson: Untargeted in win

    Hutchinson was not targeted over 40 snaps in Sunday's 36-29 win over Jacksonville in Week 10.

    Houston's passing game remains in flux with quarterback Davis Mills stepping in for C.J. Stroud (concussion). That limited Hutchinson to zero targets for the first time in nine games. Hutchinson's third season in the NFL has been his most productive, but the team's passing attack has been inconsistent in 2025.

  • Jaylin Noel WR | HOU

    Texans' Jaylin Noel: Bounces back in win

    Noel caught all four of his targets for 35 yards and returned one punt for eight yards in Sunday's 36-29 win over the Jaguars in Week 10.

    Noel was more involved Sunday than in Week 9, when he played just 11 offensive snaps and went untargeted, but that performance looks like a outlier. Other than last week's shutout, Noel has at least four catches and four targets in three of the last four games.

  • Seahawks' DeMarcus Lawrence: Two defensive touchdowns

    Lawrence recorded four tackles (one solo) and 0.5 sacks in Sunday's 44-22 win over the Cardinals. He also recovered two fumbles and returned both for touchdowns.

    Lawrence scooped a fumble by Cardinals quarterback Jacoby Brissett in the first quarter and returned it 34 yards to the house. Two drives later, the veteran linebacker picked up another Brissett fumble and took it 22 yards to paydirt. Lawrence now has four career defensive touchdowns. It was a remarkable game for the 33-year-old, who has 25 tackles (10 solo) and 4.0 sacks on the season.

  • Elijah Arroyo TE | SEA

    Seahawks' Elijah Arroyo: Reels in one pass

    Arroyo caught his lone target for five yards in Sunday's 44-22 win over the Cardinals.

    It was a quirky game in which the Seahawks scoring two defensive touchdowns, and they threw the ball just 12 times. Arroyo handled a 47 percent snap share, which has been fairly consistent all season. He still profiles as the No. 2 tight end behind AJ Barner ahead of a Week 11 matchup versus the Rams.

  • AJ Barner TE | SEA

    Seahawks' AJ Barner: Rushes twice in divisional win

    Barner rushed twice for three yards but wasn't targeted in Sunday's 44-22 win over the Cardinals.

    The Seahawks threw the ball just 12 times, as they scored 38 points in the first half and benefited from two defensive touchdowns. Thus, Barner failed to secure a target for the first time this season while handling just 23 offensive snaps. He should return to his typical pass-catching role in Week 11 versus the Rams.

  • George Holani RB | SEA

    Seahawks' George Holani: Scores in blowout win

    Holani rushed seven times for 31 yards and a touchdown in the 44-22 win over the Cardinals on Sunday.

    Holani typically stays out of the offensive rotation, as he has played more than three offensive snaps just one other time this year, but the blowout nature of this game meant he handled 11 snaps, scoring his first regular-season touchdown in the process. The 25-year-old running back should revert to a special-teams role in Week 11 versus the Rams.
