With Week 10 down, we are in the home stretch of the fantasy season. Things continue to shift in a hurry, with players emerging and falling each week.

Fantasy Football Roster Trends

Key Injuries

  • Garrett Wilson (WR – NYJ): Wilson reinjured his knee in Week 10, which will certainly keep him out this week and, according to the best estimates, 3-4 weeks, putting him out for the remainder of the Fantasy regular season.
  • J.K. Dobbins (RB – DEN): What was thought to be a mild foot injury may be far worse. Dobbins sought a 2nd opinion, and rumors are that he will be on the shelf for 2-6 weeks.
  • Kyler Murray (QB – ARI): Kyler did not play in Week 10, but late last week was placed on IR, keeping him out until at least Week 14.

Most Added Players

Alec Pierce (WR – IND)

We have been mentioning Pierce for a couple of weeks, and if you were smart enough to grab him, you are reaping the rewards. If you didn’t grab him, your window is surely closed as he turned in another solid performance in Week 10.

Tez Johnson (WR – TB)

Tez has certainly carved out a role in the Bucs offense catching two touchdowns in Week 10. Look for him to continue his high upside as we still have no clarity on the return of Chris Godwin or Mike Evans.

Troy Franklin (WR – DEN)

In one of the worst Thursday night games on record, Franklin was the lone fantasy light spot. Catching the loan Broncos touchdown on the night and also leading the team in targets, Franklin showed that he is far more than a one-week wonder and solidified his weekly flex value moving forward.

Most Dropped Players

Chuba Hubbard (RB – CAR)

While we were hoping for a split backfield, Rico Dowdle clearly is the lead back, taking 18 of the 21 running back carries. Chuba has now fallen into a pure handcuff in the event of a Rico injury.

D.J. Moore (WR – CHI)

Moore briefly exited his Week 10 game with a shoulder injury but did return. However, that did not help with his fantasy day as he laid an egg with NO catches on the day over his four targets

T.J. Hockenson (TE – MIN)

If only Hockenson’s fantasy production matched his actual skill set. One of the most talented TEs in the league, he has not found his way to fantasy relevance in 2025, posting another poor game with two catches for eight yards.

Most Traded Players

Justin Jefferson (WR – MIN)

Justin Jefferson is clearly one of the most gifted WRs in the NFL. However, with the continued struggles in the Vikings offense, he has yet to return the value in which he was drafted at, leading many managers to sell or buy on his talent rather than his production.

TreVeyon Henderson (RB – NE)

Henderson has arrived! Capitalizing on Rhamondre Stevenson‘s absence, Henderson racked up 150 total yards and two touchdowns, while showcasing that elite speed breaking off a 69-yard touchdown. Will he keep this up when Stevenson returns is the question that many managers are speculating on, with either trading for or trading out of Henderson ownership shares.

Final Thoughts

In most leagues, we have four weeks to go in the regular season. Rosters have taken form but teams are a single injury away from rising to glory or falling by the wayside. Having a plan will only get you so far; you must be ready to handle any curveball thrown your way and adjust on the fly if you want to have a chance to be crowned Fantasy Champion in 2025.
