JORDYN TYSON SIGHTING 👀🔥 I’m fired up for Jordyn Tyson, finally getting on the field after that bad hammy. Yep, I know, fumble on his first catch, blah, blah, blah… But hey, check out the rest of his first NFL game: - 4 catches on 5 targets - 30 receiving yards (7.5 YPC) - 18 offensive snaps - 16 routes run - Long reception of 9 yards The kid was on a managed snap count and clearly made the most of his opportunities. A FEW THINGS THAT REALLY CAUGHT MY ATTENTION 👀 📈 The target rate: Tyson was targeted on five of his 16 routes. That’s a 31% targets-per-route rate. Excellent involvement for a rookie making his first NFL appearance. 🔥 Versatility: The Saints used him evenly inside and outside (nine snaps each). He also ran in motion on five of his 16 routes, giving New Orleans another way to create favorable matchups. 💪 Third-down weapon: Three of his five targets came on third down, including a critical seven-yard reception on third-and-five late in the game that helped set up the go-ahead score. 👀 Trust factor: The Saints continued putting him in meaningful situations after the early fumble. He stayed involved, moved the chains and finished with four catches on five targets. Man, this guy has BALLER written all over him. If you’ve forgotten about him, here’s a reminder of why the Saints made him the eighth overall pick. 6’2”, 203 pounds. A terrific combination of size, suddenness, body control and contested-catch ability. His college resume is legit: 💥2024 (Arizona State): 75 receptions, 1,101 yards, 10 TDs. Big 12 Offensive Newcomer of the Year and First-Team All-Big 12. 💥2025 (Arizona State): 61 receptions, 711 yards, 8 TDs. Another First-Team All-Big 12 selection despite missing time. Career: 158 receptions, 2,282 yards and 22 TDs across Colorado and Arizona State. 🚀 THE ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM: HEALTH. 🚑 Clearly, the medical history is a huge concern. He suffered a devastating knee injury at Colorado in 2022, tearing his ACL, MCL and PCL. He missed nearly all of 2023 recovering from that injury. He’s also dealt with other injuries during his college career, including hamstring problems at Arizona State. Then came the August hamstring injury with the Saints, which cost him the first seven games of his rookie season. Durability is going to be the biggest question mark moving forward. But he’s back on the field now, the Saints are managing his workload, and we got our first look at what he can bring to this offense. WHAT’S NEXT? 📈 The Saints are coming off an overtime victory over Cleveland and now they’re home against Carolina (3-5). Nice matchup. The Panthers have shown some vulnerability in the secondary, and with Tyler Shough and Chris Olave helping lead the offense, there’s room for Tyson to carve out a bigger role as his snap count increases. If that hamstring cooperates, this is a high-upside player with the potential to develop into a weekly starter and eventually a WR2 behind Olave. For redraft managers, he might be worth pulling in for the homestretch. He’s still readily available in plenty of leagues. In dynasty, you’ll probably have to work a trade. But given the injury history and the fact that he hasn’t had much of a chance to show what he can do yet, this might be a good time to make a move without breaking the bank. Anyway, I’m grabbing some shares. I think this is a good play. Depth Wins Championships 🏆 Dominate with DHQFootball.com

WEEK 10 WAIVER RADAR by @draftuncut 👀🏈⬇️ Need to follow him if you don’t already, killer takes!

Killer Start Sit List by my brother @ChrisDegz 👀🏈⬇️

ELIJAH PONDER: IDP BLOWUP 🚨🏈 This dude is absolutely blowing it up in Year 2. The undrafted edge rusher has 7.5 sacks, 25+ tackles, a forced fumble, and a 75 PFF grade through 9 games. I wrote about him earlier this year, and the dude just keeps producing. Not bad for a second-year UDFA out of Cal Poly. His rookie season was mostly rotational work and special teams, but he still managed 4 sacks. This year? He’s playing heavy snaps and making life miserable for opposing quarterbacks. We’re talking 32 pressures and sack production that puts him right up there with the best. Yet he’s still flying under the radar in a lot of IDP leagues. 💪 Tougher matchup this week in Munich against Detroit. Jared Goff and that Lions offense have been clicking, and that offensive line (Sewell, Mahogany, Scruggs, Ratledge, Miller) is legit. I’m not pretending this is an easy assignment. But Ponder has the first-step quickness and enough moves to give those tackles problems. I like his chances of getting home at least once. The Patriots are 5-4 and coming off a rough loss to Green Bay. They need this one to stay in the AFC East/playoff picture, and the pass rush needs to show up. Ponder just put up 1.5 sacks last week, so there’s no reason to think he’ll be anything other than a big part of the plan again. Anyway, I’m a big fan of this kid. If he’s still sitting on your waiver wire, I’d be making a move. In most dynasty leagues, you’re probably going to have to trade for him. Young, inexpensive contract through 2027, and he’s already producing. What’s not to like? #Patriots #ElijahPonder #FantasyFootball #DHQFootball IDP Wins Championships 🏆 Dominate with DHQFootball.com

Week 10 QB Rankings by @TheOppReportFF

KONATA MUMPFIELD: NEXT MAN UP 👀🏈 This one is tough, but I’m going with it. Konata Mumpfield is the Rams guy I’m looking at Sunday. I expect him to see a nice target share, get the opportunities, and make the most of them. Face it, the Rams WR room is a wasteland right now: 🤕 -Puka Nacua: Out with multiple knee injuries and turf toe. Expected to miss an extended period. -Davante Adams: On IR with a hamstring injury. A return after Week 12 is the current target. -Jordan Whittington: On IR with a back injury. And the tight end room isn’t much better. Terrance Ferguson is expected to miss at least another couple of weeks with ankle and hamstring issues. Colby Parkinson (ribs) and Davis Allen (oblique) were both limited in Wednesday’s practice. Tyler Higbee is healthy, but that’s a lot of uncertainty among the Rams’ pass catchers heading into Sunday. So, let’s look at Mumpfield this year. 👀 11 receptions 162 receiving yards 1 TD 23 targets Not exactly eye-popping numbers, averaging just over 4 PPR points per game. But here’s the one game we can lean on as a potential comparison. Week 3 against Denver, with Nacua out: 🚀 4 receptions, 93 yards and a TD on 8 targets, playing 73% of the offensive snaps. 💥 That was a nice game! He’s also been playing more recently, with snap shares of 47%, 43%, 50% and 44% over his last four games. Now, clearly Sean McVay has something up his sleeve to account for all these roster losses. He’ll no doubt lean hard on Kyren Williams and Blake Corum while hoping the defense with the Big Man back stifles Arizona. Solid strategy for sure, however still think Matthew Stafford is still going to have to throw the football to somebody! I think that somebody is Mumpfield. ✅ He’s done it before, and Sunday against Arizona gives him another shot. Lets look at him as deep- league pickup and dynasty dart. He’s rostered in the low-to-mid teens on most platforms, so there’s a good chance he’s still available. I’m not calling him a sure thing. The floor is low until we see the targets and playing time increase. But I’m willing to take a shot here. The Rams are short on healthy receivers, and Mumpfield could be the guy who benefits most. #KonataMumpfield #Rams #FantasyFootball #DHQFootball

ZACH CHARBONNET: HIGH UPSIDE PICK 👀🏈 Hate to say it, but I think Zach Charbonnet is fixing to give my Raiders defense a long afternoon this week. The Seahawks RB is now two games removed from his ACL injury, and he’s looking more and more like his old self. The workload is trending in the right direction, too. Check out the progression since his return: 📈 Week 8 vs. Bears: 6 carries, 23 yards (3 catches) 📈 Week 9 vs. Cardinals: 16 carries, 77 yards (1 catch, 9 yards) That’s a pretty significant jump in usage and dude basically took over the Arizona game in the 4th quarter, taking four consecutive carries for 33 yards, helping grind down the clock and put the game away. He even had a 25-yard run called back by a penalty. That’s some serious downhill running! 💪 Add to that the matchup this weekend. The Raiders have been absolutely floundering against the run, surrendering 5.21 yards per carry to opposing running backs and sitting dead last in the league against the run. 📉 Now, I’m not saying Charbonnet is going to ruin my boy Fernando Mendoza’s coming-out party, but he’s certainly capable of making life difficult. Expect Seattle to lean on the ground game, eat some clock, and give Charbonnet opportunities to punch one in near the goal line. MY CALL: 14 carries, 70+ rushing yards, 12–15 fantasy points with TD upside. Hearts with the Raiders, but my money is on a BIG day from Zach Charbonnet. 👀🔥 #ZachCharbonnet #SeattleSeahawks #Raiders

KAELON BLACK: HANDCUFF / FLEX STARTER 👀🏈 I’m really liking Kaelon Black as not only a handcuff but a potential flex play as the season rolls on. I’ve written about him a couple times already and boy, he has not disappointed! The 49ers rookie (3rd-round pick out of Indiana) has clearly established himself as not only Christian McCaffrey’s backup but a scoring threat himself. Over the last two games, he’s handled roughly 39% of the carries compared to about 42% for CMC, turning 23 carries into 133 yards and a touchdown. He even led the team in rushing yards in Week 9 (11-70), with CMC active and scoring twice. The third-string competition isn’t getting much work either. Black is healthy, carrying no injury designation heading into Week 10. The matchup is on the road against Dallas, a defense that’s been giving up plenty of fantasy production to opposing running backs lately. His standalone value is still somewhat limited while CMC is healthy, particularly with minimal receiving work so far. But the workload is growing, and you know what the Shanahan offense can do with a productive back. Here’s the real appeal: If anything happens to CMC, Black suddenly steps into an RB1 workload. We’re talking 15-20 carries with some receiving upside. That’s a lottery ticket worth holding. He’s still rostered in the mid-30% range in a lot of leagues. For the clear backup in one of the league’s better offenses, that feels way too low. I’m trying to pick this guy up in both redraft and especially dynasty. CMC’s potential heir apparent? I’m buying. BOOM! 💥 #49ers #KaelonBlack #FantasyFootball
