Fantasy football returns for Week 10 of the 2025 NFL season with another week of chaos from the running back position.
Week 9 was full of surprises from the running back position, with multiple players on bye and several others dropping the ball. There was no shock seeing Christian McCaffrey take the throne against a nonexistent New York Giants defense, but the rest of the top 10 epitomized the unpredictability of fantasy football.
The Carolina Panthers’ Rico Dowdle continued his hot streak in Week 9, finishing as the only other running back with over 20 fantasy points. Chicago Bears rookie Kyle Monangai took full advantage of his featured role with D’Andre Swift absent to finish as the Week 9 RB3. Kyren Williams and Josh Jacobs rounded out the top five.
Another four teams are on bye in Week 10, shelving Chase Brown, Isaiah Pacheco, Kareem Hunt, Javonte Williams and Tony Pollard for the week. None has been a league-winner in 2025, but managers relying on either as a starter have to look elsewhere.
Monangai is easily the pickup of the week, but he flew off waiver wires in most fantasy football leagues early. New England Patriots rookie TreVeyon Henderson is also a popular streaming option with Rhamondre Stevenson out another game, but he is not a player who should still be available on Friday.
Running back is the toughest position in fantasy football to find serviceable options for late in the week, but desperate managers can still make do. There are a few players available in most leagues still worthy of a spot start in fantasy football for Week 10 of the 2025 NFL season.
The New York Giants no longer have a clear-cut starting running back. Cam Skattebo‘s injury seemingly cleared the way for Tyrone Tracy Jr. to reclaim his role in the backfield, but veteran Devin Singletary will not go away quietly.
Tracy got the start in Week 9, but Singletary was equally as involved. The veteran received three more carries and two more overall touches while playing 56.1 percent of the offensive snaps. Although it was a near-even split, Singletary was slightly more involved in the offensive game plan.
Tracy is still the more explosive player with the higher upside. The fact that Singletary continues to return kicks is also indicative of his stance with the coaching staff. However, until one player truly separates himself from the other, this has to be treated as an even split.
Singletary and Tracy both get one of their best matchups of the year in Week 10, when the Giants take on the Chicago Bears’ bottom-10 rush defense. Singletry, who should handle most of the goal-line work, is still available in over half of fantasy football leagues.
Emari Demercado returned from an ankle injury in Week 9 and immediately reclaimed the Arizona Cardinals’ backfield. Bam Knight still got the start, but Demercado out-touched him 15-11. Head coach Jonathan Gannon said...
