Plus, trade deadline fallout opens the door for a Jonathan Taylor rebound against Miami, and the Rams DST headlines the top defensive plays Nov 12, 2026 at 1:52 am ET • 2 min read The biggest story this week was what happened at Tuesday's NFL trade deadline, and we had some major moves that altered things in Fantasy and reality. The biggest trades for Fantasy managers involved Kirk Cousins going to Minnesota, Keenan Allen going to the 49ers and Josh Downs going to Kansas City. But we also know a trade that didn't happen was impactful: Jonathan Taylor remaining in Indianapolis. Now that we know Taylor is staying with the Colts, we need him to return to his dominant ways. He performed poorly in his past two games against Jacksonville and Dallas with 9.4 PPR points or less in each outing. Struggling against the Jaguars is understandable given their strong defense, but it was frustrating to see Taylor struggle against the Cowboys. Hopefully, Taylor was bothered by the trade speculation, and now he can play without any hesitation. He has a great matchup in Week 10 against Miami, and the Dolphins are No. 6 in most Fantasy points allowed to opposing running backs. A running back has scored at least 12 PPR points in every game against the Dolphins this season, including four guys scoring at least 19.4 PPR points. That's the level of production we expect from Taylor on a weekly basis, and he scored at least 19 PPR points in five of his first seven games. The Colts stripped down their offense with the trades of Allen and Downs, along with an earlier deal sending standout offensive lineman Quenton Nelson to Seattle, but I'm still confident in Taylor. As long as he's healthy and active, Taylor has top-10 upside in all leagues. I would have preferred to see him traded to a better team, but the Colts kept Taylor and now need to keep him playing at a high level for the rest of the year.

But Jacoby Brissett was the Cardinals' quarterback then, and Michael Wilson (neck) was healthy. Carson Beck will make his first NFL start for Arizona in Week 10, and Wilson is out. Myles Garrett is also healthy for the Rams, and they have limited the Chargers and Commanders to 22 total points in their past two games with six sacks and four turnovers over that span. I like the Rams DST as a top-three Fantasy option in Week 10. DST (Sleepers) Ravens (vs. LAC)Bills (at NYJ)Colts (vs. MIA) DST (Sits)Patriots (at DET) The Patriots defense has fallen apart lately with two miserable games against Chicago in Week 7 and Green Bay in Week 9. In those two games, New England allowed at least 30 points with no turnovers, although the Patriots did have three sacks in both outings. Now, New England faces another NFC North team in Detroit, and the Lions have only 5 turnovers on the season. Detroit has scored 20 points or less in three games in a row against Green Bay, Minnesota and Miami, but the Lions have also scored at least 26 points in five outings this year. I would avoid the Patriots DST in most leagues in Week 10. Projections powered by Sportsline Projections powered by Sportsline Projections powered by Sportsline
