Who’s Hot & Who’s Not – 11/04/2025 – Week 10 NFL Fantasy Football
Who’s Hot!
Justin Herbert, Los Angeles Chargers
Herbert is the QB1 in fantasy football over the last three weeks! Oh, he’s also a perfect 3-for-3 in clutch games during this stretch! He has plenty of weapons at his disposal, and he continues to produce despite numerous injuries along the offensive line. During this impressive run, he’s averaging nearly 300 passing yards per game and trails only Drake Maye in scramble yards, per FantasyPoints. Furthermore, he has a good schedule for the next couple of weeks, so he should remain a trusted QB1 for fantasy.
Rico Dowdle, Carolina Panthers
Simply put, Dowdle has been awesome this season. Dowdle is a perfect 3-for-3 in clutch games in games he’s started, and he’s averaged over 31 fantasy points per game in those matchups. Furthermore, in those three starts, he’s averaged 173.0 rushing yards per game and an insane 3.64 yards after contact per attempt, per FantasyPoints. For the season, amongst RBs with at least 120 carries on the season, he ranks second in yards after contact per attempt and third in yards per carry. Expect him to be the lead back for Carolina moving forward.
Tee Higgins, Cincinnati Bengals
Over the last three weeks, Higgins has been the WR10 in PPR formats! He’s recorded 20+ fantasy points in two of his last three games. During this three-week stretch, he’s handled a massive 14.5 average depth of target (aDOT) with a strong 2.37 yards per route run, per FantasyPoints. Despite Ja’Marr Chase clearly being the alpha, there’s enough to go around in this pass-heavy Cincinnati offense.
Dalton Schultz, Houston Texans
Schultz has two clutch games in his last three, which isn’t too shabby! Despite all the issues with the Houston offense, he’s essentially become the second option in the passing attack. A 4.7 aDOT over the last three weeks is incredibly underwhelming; however, he’s caught over 80% of his targets during that span, and 1.90 yards per route run isn’t terrible, considering the low aDOT. We may need to temper expectations in Week 10, as Davis Mills is likely under center. However, when C.J. Stroud returns, Schultz figures to remain a consistent part of the team’s [inconsistent] offense.
Who’s Not!
Tua Tagovailoa, Miami Dolphins
Tagovailoa has recorded fewer than 10 fantasy points in three of his last four games. His clutch rate is moving further and further away from 50%. During this uninspiring four-game stretch, Tagovailoa has a 5:7 TD/INT ratio and a 6.3 aDOT that is the fourth-lowest in the NFL during that span. Per FantasyPoints, that is higher than only Justin Fields, Dillon Gabriel, Jared Goff, and Geno Smith. Another thing to monitor is what Miami does at the trade deadline. There could be big ramifications for this Miami offense and Tagovailoa, depending on who all Miami trades away.
Kenneth Walker, Seattle Seahawks
Despite averaging 4.45 yards per carry and being among the game’s best in missed tackles forced per attempt, Walker has underwhelmed a bit for fantasy purposes. In PPR scoring, he hasn’t hit double-digits since Week 4. That’s also the last time Walker recorded a clutch game! Not ideal to say the least! For most of the season, Zach Charbonnet has stolen the red zone and goal-line carries. Walker only has one game this season (Week 1) where he recorded more than two targets in a game.
