With the fantasy football trade deadline approaching, it’s essential for managers to evaluate their teams. Whether you’re trying to secure a bye or a playoff position, time is limited to enhance your roster.

Now is the ideal moment to assess your players and identify potential trades that could strengthen your lineup for the crucial final weeks. The NFL landscape changes rapidly—injuries happen, roles shift, and rookies gain more playing time—so fantasy managers need to stay adaptable.

Here are 10 players whose fantasy values have notably shifted following Week 9’s games:

Fantasy Football Players to Acquire in Week 10

RB Tyrone Tracy Jr., New York Giants: Even with Devin Singletary now back to full health, Tracy is firmly holding onto the starting role. He showcased his talent with 16 carries for a leading 66 yards against Washington while Singletary saw only seven opportunities.

WR Ladd McConkey, Los Angeles Chargers: Another promising rookie, McConkey is especially attractive for PPR league participants. He recorded five catches for 64 yards and led his team with seven targets. He and Quentin Johnston are quickly becoming key fantasy assets for the team.

WR Nick Westbrook-Ikhine, Tennessee Titans: With DeAndre Hopkins traded away and Mason Rudolph stepping in at quarterback, Westbrook-Ikhine has greatly benefited. He has scored in four straight games and is a solid option in deeper leagues, TD-only setups, and daily fantasy play.

RB Emari Demercado, Arizona Cardinals: Although Demercado only had six touches in Week 9, his exceptional speed indicates that his playing time may increase. He made an impressive 53-yard touchdown run and finished with a total of 80 yards. His fantasy potential is somewhat limited as long as James Conner is healthy, but he is definitely trending up.

TE Drew Sample, Cincinnati Bengals: Sample scored a touchdown in Week 9, and his role is expanding due to Erick All’s knee injury. Despite sharing time with Mike Gesicki, Bengals tight ends combined for three touchdowns in the previous game.

Fantasy Football Players to Trade Away in Week 10

RB Braelon Allen, New York Jets: Allen once seemed poised for a larger role with many touches, but the new coaching staff is now favoring Breece Hall, leaving Allen mostly off the field. Since the coaching change, he has averaged over five touches per game.

RB Travis Etienne, Jacksonville Jaguars: Over the last three games, Etienne has recorded only 12 carries and just eight touches in the last two. Tank Bigsby’s rise has cut into Etienne’s opportunities. He is currently only reliable in the deepest of fantasy leagues.

QB Caleb Williams, Chicago Bears: Williams has struggled, completing just 49.2% of his passes over the last two games, totaling 348 yards without a touchdown. Following a standout four-touchdown game in London, his performance has declined significantly.

QB Anthony Richardson, Indianapolis Colts: Richardson was benched for 39-year-old Joe Flacco. This decision might not be temporary, which spells trouble for Richardson’s fantasy viability for this season and potentially after.

TE Sam LaPorta, Detroit Lions: Once regarded as one of the top tight ends in 2023, LaPorta’s performance has plummeted. He has had two or fewer catches in three of the last four games and has been held to 28 or fewer yards twice in that span. He is mainly a TE2 now, contrasting sharply with fantasy managers’ expectancies when drafting him early.
