This Week's Top Add
Colston Loveland is the player to prioritize this week. His target share has jumped from 20% on the season to 29-40% over his last two games, and he lines up for three easy matchups for tight ends in his next four weeks. All projections below are News Hub Fantasy's points projections for this week.
On bye this week: Pittsburgh Steelers, Tennessee Titans.
Jordan Love, Green Bay Packers, QB: 41 pass attempts, 288 yards, 3 TD, 1 INT
Jordan Love topped his season per-game average of 280.8 passing yards and 2.0 touchdown passes in one of his last four starts, last week's 288 yards and 3 touchdowns. His recent four-game fantasy average of 19.6 points is well above his 17.4-point season average, a steady-to-rising trend.
He projects for 17.5 points this week at the New England Patriots, a tough matchup that allows 14.1 points a game to quarterbacks. Week 10 brings another tough matchup at the Minnesota Vikings (8.5 allowed) before his bye in Week 11 and an average matchup at the Los Angeles Rams in Week 12.
Priority add in all leagues.
C.J. Stroud, Houston Texans, QB: 28 pass attempts, 153 yards, 2 TD, 2 carries
C.J. Stroud's production has been steady against his season per-game marks of 35.3 attempts, 266.7 yards and 1.6 touchdown passes, with his touchdown total exceeding his average last week even though his yardage dipped. His recent four-game average of 18.8 fantasy points sits above his 17.8-point season average.
He projects for 17.5 points this week in a tough matchup at the Los Angeles Chargers (14.1 points allowed to QBs), but things open up after that: an average matchup at the Cleveland Browns in Week 10, an easy matchup against the Indianapolis Colts in Week 11 (18.7 allowed) and an average matchup versus the Baltimore Ravens in Week 12.
Add in 12-team leagues.
Emanuel Wilson, Seattle Seahawks, RB: 24 carries, 1 target
Jadarian Price, the Seahawks' No. 2 running back, is on injured reserve, clearing out competition behind Wilson in the backfield. Wilson's 24 carries last week were well above his season per-game average of 15.9 carries, and his 100 rushing yards and touchdown show a role that is clearly growing with Price out.
He projects for 13.5 points this week against the Arizona Cardinals, an average matchup allowing 20.8 points a game to running backs. The schedule gets easier from there, with an easy matchup at the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 10 (24.4 allowed) and another easy matchup at the San Francisco 49ers in Week 12 after his Week 11 bye.
Priority add in all leagues.
Blake Corum, Los Angeles Rams, RB: 11 carries, 1 target
Blake Corum's usage trend is listed as rising, and his recent four-game fantasy average of 14.3 points is well above his 9.5-point season average on 9.4 carries a game. His carry totals have bounced between 5 and 17 over his last four games, but the touchdown production has been consistent with four rushing and receiving scores on the season.
He projects for 11.5 points this week at the Washington Commanders, an average matchup allowing 19.6 points a game to running backs. Week 10 brings another average matchup at the Arizona Cardinals, followed by his Week 11 bye and an easy matchup against the Green Bay Packers in Week 12 (23.4 allowed).
Add in 12-team leagues.
Jonah Coleman, Denver Broncos, RB: 11 carries, 5 targets
Jonah Coleman's usage trend is rising, and his five targets and 63 receiving yards last week were well above his season per-game averages of 2.5 targets and 24.2 receiving yards. His recent four-game average of 13.2 fantasy points tops his 9.9-point season average, a sign his receiving role is expanding.
He projects for 10.5 points this week at the Carolina Panthers, an easy matchup allowing 26.1 points a game to running backs, among the most generous marks in these facts. After his Week 10 bye, he gets another easy matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 11 (24.4 allowed) before an average matchup at the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 12.
Add in 12-team leagues.
Tyler Allgeier, Arizona Cardinals, RB: 11 carries, 5 targets
Tyler Allgeier's carry total last week was close to his season average of 9.0 a game, but his 147 rushing yards and receiving touchdown pushed his recent four-game fantasy average to 15.1 points, well above his 9.2-point season average. The role looks steady week to week, with last week's output more of a production spike than a workload jump.
He projects for 10.0 points this week at the Seattle Seahawks, an average matchup allowing 21.0 points a game to running backs. Tougher matchups follow against the Los Angeles Rams in Week 10 (17.6 allowed) and at the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 11 (18.7 allowed), before an average matchup versus the Washington Commanders in Week 12.
Add in 12-team leagues.
Makai Lemon, Philadelphia Eagles, WR: 9 targets, 6 catches, 57 yards
DeVonta Smith, the Eagles' most-used wide receiver this season at 10.2 touches a game, is out, and Britain Covey is also out on the team's depth chart. That absence is the reason to add Lemon now.
His nine targets last week, 28% of the team's total, were well above his season per-game average of 5.6 targets and 18% target share, showing a role clearly opened up by the injuries. His receiving yardage (57) and catches (6) also topped his season averages of 31.4 yards and 3.9 catches.
He projects for 8.0 points this week against the New York Giants, an average matchup allowing 29.5 points a game to wide receivers. After his Week 10 bye, he gets another average matchup versus the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 11 and an easy matchup at the Dallas Cowboys in Week 12 (33.8 allowed).
Priority add in all leagues.
KC Concepcion, Cleveland Browns, WR: 4 targets, 3 catches, 37 yards
KC Concepcion's week-to-week target totals have swung widely, from 10 targets and 129 yards in Week 7 down to 4 targets last week, but his 20% season-long target share and 6.1 targets a game underline a consistent role in the offense. His recent four-game average of 10.1 fantasy points is well above his 6.6-point season average.
He projects for 7.5 points this week at the New Orleans Saints, an average matchup allowing 28.4 points a game to wide receivers. Week 10 brings an easy matchup against the Houston Texans that allows 39.5 points a game to wide receivers, one of the most favorable marks in these facts, before his Week 11 bye and an average matchup versus the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 12.
Add in 12-team leagues.
Treylon Burks, Washington Commanders, WR: 5 targets, 3 catches, 81 yards
Terry McLaurin, the Commanders' most-used wide receiver this season at 5.4 touches a game, is on injured reserve, which is the reason to add Burks now.
His five targets last week, 19% of the team's total, were above his season per-game average of 3.7 targets and 12% target share, and his 81 receiving yards were more than double his 38.8-yard season average, a role clearly opened by the injury.
He projects for 6.5 points this week against the Los Angeles Rams, a tough matchup allowing 26.1 points a game to wide receivers. The schedule turns friendlier after that, with an average matchup at the New York Giants in Week 10, an average matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 11 and an easy matchup at the Arizona Cardinals in Week 12 (33.1 allowed).
Add in 12-team leagues.
Antonio Williams, Washington Commanders, WR: 7 targets, 5 catches, 54 yards
Terry McLaurin, the Commanders' most-used wide receiver this season at 5.4 touches a game, is on injured reserve, which is also the reason to add Williams.
His seven targets last week, 26% of the team's total, were well above his season per-game average of 4.7 targets and 15% target share, showing a growing role alongside Burks in McLaurin's absence.
He projects for 6.0 points this week against the Los Angeles Rams, a tough matchup allowing 26.1 points a game to wide receivers, with the same upcoming schedule as Burks: an average matchup at the New York Giants, an average matchup versus the Cincinnati Bengals and an easy matchup at the Arizona Cardinals.
Given his modest projection behind Burks in the same receiver room, this is a deep-leagues-only add for now.
Colston Loveland, Chicago Bears, TE: 9 targets, 7 catches, 65 yards
Colston Loveland's usage trend is rising, and his target share has climbed from a 20% season average to 29% and 40% in his last two games. His recent four-game fantasy average of 13.3 points is nearly double his 7.2-point season average, and his receiving yardage has reached at least 65 yards in each of his last two outings.
A per-game projection is not listed for him this week, but his recent scoring puts him in TE1 territory. He faces an easy matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers this week (14.7 points allowed to tight ends), then after his Week 10 bye gets another easy matchup versus the New Orleans Saints (16.3 allowed) and an easy matchup at the Detroit Lions in Week 12 (28.3 allowed).
Priority add in all leagues.
Hunter Henry, New England Patriots, TE: 3 targets, 3 catches, 30 yards
A.J. Brown and Mack Hollins, both listed as the Patriots' most-used wide receiver this season, are out, with Brown on the roster without a game status yet and Hollins on injured reserve.
Despite those absences, Henry's usage has stayed steady rather than spiking: his 16% target share last week is close to his season average of 15%, and his 3.6 catches and 40.8 receiving yards a game have not meaningfully changed recently.
He projects for 8.5 points this week in a tough matchup against the Green Bay Packers (8.8 points allowed to tight ends), with an easy matchup at the Detroit Lions in Week 10 (28.3 allowed) followed by his Week 11 bye and a tough matchup at the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 12.
With steady rather than growing usage, this is a stash while the receiver injuries play out.
Defense streamers
The Detroit Lions travel to face the Miami Dolphins this week and project for 8.0 fantasy points, the fifth-best mark among all defenses in these facts. Their 5.9-point season average has kept them on waiver wires in most leagues.
The Dallas Cowboys head to the Indianapolis Colts and project for 7.0 points, ninth-best among defenses this week. A 5.3-point season average means they remain widely available.
The New Orleans Saints host the Cleveland Browns and also project for 7.0 points, tenth-best this week. Their 5.2-point season average has likewise left them on most waiver wires.
