Must-Know Quarterback Fantasy Football Stats
Daniel Jones (QB – IND)
Daniel Jones has really turned his career around. A season after being benched for Drew Lock/Tommy DeVito, he has led the Colts to an AFC-leading 7-2 record and the league’s best offense. This is translating on the fantasy side, too, as Danny Dimes’ 20.4 points per game average ranks him as the QB8 for the season.
However, I don’t expect big things from Jones this week. The Falcons’ defense is the sixth-toughest matchup for quarterbacks, allowing just 15.2 points per game. They also have allowed by far the fewest passing yards per game of any team at just 174.8. With how efficient he and the Colts’ offense have been all season, Jones is not a must-bench. But it’s at least worth checking your other options before simply rolling out Jones as your QB1 this week.
Lamar Jackson (QB – BAL)
Lamar Jackson dominantly returned from injury, delivering one of his most efficient performances of the season as the Baltimore Ravens rolled past the Miami Dolphins in Week 9. Jackson completed 18-of-23 passes for 204 yards and four touchdowns, all without an interception, posting a 143.2 passer rating.
Jackson was razor-sharp when targeting open receivers (over three yards of separation), completing 14-of-15 passes for 144 yards and all four of his touchdowns — the third time in his career he’s thrown four touchdowns to open targets, with two of those games coming against Miami.
Must-Know Running Back Fantasy Football Stats
Breece Hall (RB – NYJ)
No one was unhappier that Breece Hall didn’t get traded on Tuesday than fantasy players. The former Iowa State star was outstanding in the Jets’ last game before the Week 9 bye, totaling 20 touches for 147 scrimmage yards and two touchdowns, plus one passing score. He scored 32.9 PPR fantasy points in the win over the Cincinnati Bengals. However, he had struggled over the previous two weeks, totaling 33 rushing attempts for 97 yards, plus two receptions for 14 receiving yards. He scored 13.1 fantasy points, scoring 7.2 points or fewer in both contests.
Moreover, Hall could lose work to Isaiah Davis, after the second-year pro was equally as impressive in Week 9, totaling 10.9 scrimmage yards and 17.9 fantasy points. Unfortunately, the star running back doesn’t face an awful Bengals run defense this week. Instead, the Browns have arguably the best run defense in the NFL, surrendering only 15.4 fantasy points per game to running backs, the second-fewest in the league. Furthermore, Cleveland has held running backs to 15.8 fantasy points per game and zero rushing touchdowns over their past three matchups.
Emari Demercado (RB – ARI)
Emari Demercado played a key role in the Cardinals’ Monday-night win over the Cowboys in Week 9, carrying 14 times for 79 yards. Bam Knight out-snapped Demercado 38-27 and ran more routes. But it was Demercado who handled the bulk of the rushing chores, as Knight had only nine carries. It looks like a split backfield in Arizona until Trey Benson returns from a knee injury. He’s eligible to come off injured reserve (IR) in Week 10, but it’s not clear if Benson is ready to play. Demercado is worth a speculative add if you’re desperate for RB help.
Must-Know Wide Receiver Fantasy Football Stats
Zay Flowers (WR – BAL)
Believe it or not, DraftKings Sportsbook has the Baltimore Ravens at -140 odds to win their division this year, despite their 3-5 start. The AFC North is especially weak this year, and with Lamar Jackson back at the helm, it’s expected that Baltimore goes on a big run in the second half of the season. This is great news for alpha wide receiver Zay Flowers. The third-year receiver out of Boston College is currently sitting as the WR24 in PPR points per game this season, and this is with Cooper Rush and Tyler Huntley under center for half the year.
Flowers is one of the most dynamic route runners in the NFL. His 29.8% target share ranks eighth amongst wide receivers, and his 2.45 yards per route run ranks 10th overall. Flowers has managed to post over 13 PPR points per game through eight weeks despite only finding the end zone once. Flowers has never been a major red-zone threat, but we can expect some positive regression in the touchdown department now that Jackson is healthy. He is currently valued as the dynasty WR26 on KeepTradeCut, a community-sourced ranking site. Flowers is my WR18, presenting and an excellent buy window for the young ascending star.
Rashid Shaheed (WR – SEA)
Rashid Shaheed is an interesting WR3/flex moving forward. With New Orleans, he was the WR38 in fantasy points per game, commanding a 21% target share with 55.4 receiving yards per game, 1.75 yards per route run and a 23.4% first-read share. In nine games, he had seven red-zone targets and 12 deep targets.
Among 110 qualifying wideouts, Shaheed ranks 40th in separation score. Seattle’s passing volume could increase, but I wouldn’t bank on it, which will hurt Shaheed’s weekly consistency. Seattle has the fifth-lowest neutral passing rate in the NFL. Shaheed will have plenty of spike weeks during the rest of the season, but he’s not a set-and-forget weekly Flex. Seattle ranks 17th in rest of season strength of schedule for fantasy wide receivers.
Jakobi Meyers (WR – JAX)
Jakobi Meyers is the WR47 in fantasy points per game and hasn’t hit double-digit PPR points since Week 2. It has been a rough stretch of games for him since. Overall with the Raiders, Meyers has had a 20.9% target share with 50.3 receiving yards per game (1.51 yards per route run) and a 25.2% first-read share, per Fantasy Points Data.
Meyers had five red-zone targets and five deep targets with Las Vegas. Meyers could return WR3/Flex value moving forward, but he’ll be facing the second-hardest fantasy schedule for wide receivers for the rest of the season, plus a murky target outlook should Brian Thomas Jr. and Travis Hunter return quicker than I’m initially anticipating.
Must-Know Tight End Fantasy Football Stats
Dalton Kincaid (TE – BUF)
Dalton Kincaid was the star of the day, catching all six of his targets for 101 yards and a touchdown, marking just the second 100-yard performance of his career. Kincaid created three or more yards of separation on four of his six targets, accounting for 84 yards and his score; both career bests on well-timed seam and corner routes.
Kincaid led a tight end group that combined for five catches, 130 yards and a touchdown on downfield targets, with Dawson Knox (one catch, 30 yards) and Jackson Hawes (one catch, 18 yards) contributing key chunk plays. Kincaid continues to “get away with it” in fantasy despite playing a limited snap role. He only played 34% of the snaps while running 16 routes versus Kansas City. But this has been his usage all year when he’s been a fantasy TE1. The Bills tight end has posted a 25% target rate per route run (fourth among all tight ends).
Kincaid is being hyper-targeted while remaining hyper-efficient. Possibly the efficiency tails off… but beggars can’t be choosers at tight end. And it’s entirely possible that Kincaid could see his routes increase from the 55% rate in Week 9. It was as high as 70% earlier this season. A healthy Kincaid is emerging as Josh Allen‘s go-to guy. Don’t overthink it.
Dalton Schultz (TE – HOU)
Dalton Schultz has yet to cross the goal line through eight games in 2025. What the 29-year-old tight end has done is be a steady option in the Texans’ passing game, recording at least five receptions in five of the last six games. He caught six passes for 77 yards opposite a stout Denver defense in Week 9. Those marks came just two weeks after grabbing nine out of 10 targets for 98 yards at Seattle.
The Broncos and Seahawks feature superior defenses to that of the Jaguars, which was just shredded by Vegas tight end Brock Bowers (127 yds, three touchdowns), with some help from Michael Mayer (three receptions, 26 yards), this past Sunday. Obviously, Schultz is not Bowers, but he is a more than capable fantasy option in the right situation. This is the right situation.
Colston Loveland (TE – CHI)
OK, well, there was the big Colston Loveland breakout game we’ve been waiting for. I honestly thought this game was coming in Week 8, but it didn’t happen. I faded Loveland entering Week 9 with the return of Cole Kmet, but Kmet left the game with a concussion. Assuming Kmet will be out for Week 10, Loveland gets at least one more game with full-time run before the Chicago tight end situation becomes a mess again. In Week 9, Loveland had an 18.9% target share with six grabs, 118 receiving yards and two scores. The Giants are 18th in schedule-adjusted fantasy points per game allowed to tight ends, per Fantasy Points Data. Loveland is a solid streamer this week with TE1 upside.
