Week 10 fantasy advice from PlayerProfiler highlights chaos in matchups and new player roles. Start QB Brock Purdy (49ers) in the high‑scoring shootout against Dallas, where he’s averaging 22 fantasy points and projected for 34.3 attempts. Sit Kirk Cousins (Vikings) despite a solid season, as he’s still adjusting to a new offense and faces a tough Packers defense. For RBs, start Ollie Gordon II (Dolphins) against a soft Colts defense, while bench both Vikings’ Jordan Mason and Aaron Jones due to split snaps and low upside. At WR, start Zay Flowers (Ravens) versus the Chargers, benefitting from Jacoby Brissett’s target share and a +11.8 positional matchup. These picks aim to maximize weekly upside amid shifting team dynamics.

Coleman Owen’s journey from an unrecruited Higley High player to a Green Bay Packers return specialist and wide receiver reads like a Hollywood script. After walking on at Northern Arizona University with no scholarship, he earned Second‑team All‑Big Sky honors in 2022‑23 before transferring to Ohio, where he set a school single‑season record with 78 catches for 1,245 yards and eight TDs, plus a punt‑return and rushing score, earning First‑team All‑MAC in 2024. Undrafted in 2026, Owen briefly signs with Indianapolis, is waived after a concussion, then joins the Packers in September. His story highlights perseverance, self‑confidence, and rapid rise to the NFL’s 52‑man roster.
The 49ers have restructured defensive tackle DeForest Buckner’s contract, converting $6.5 million of his salary into a signing bonus and adding two void years to free up $5.2 million in 2026 cap space. Buckner, a 2016 first‑round pick, returned to San Francisco this season after stints with Indianapolis, where he signed a $84 million extension and later a two‑year, $46 million deal. In 2026 he’s played eight games, posting 32 tackles, four sacks, a fumble recovery and three pass defenses.
The Indianapolis Colts should get a victory in Week 10 against the Miami Dolphins, and here is what you need to know before the game.
The Cowboys, now 4-5 after a 27-23 win over Indianapolis, head into a tough home clash with 7-1 San Francisco. Dallas posted 508 total yards (329 passing, 179 rushing) despite penalties and two turnovers. CeeDee Lamb exploded for 195 yards and a TD on 10 catches, while Javonte Williams hit 101 rushing yards and the game‑winner. Injuries have thinned the 49ers’ secondary and limited their pass rush—Nick Bosa and DeForest Buckner returned but recorded no sacks, and the team has only 15 sacks total. Meanwhile, San Francisco’s key receivers are sidelined, leaving McCaffrey and Kittle as primary threats. Dallas’ defense, fresh from a strong run‑stop against Jonathan Taylor, aims to contain McCaffrey and give Prescott protection.
The Indianapolis Colts' loyalty to Jonathan Taylor might be noble, but it can also be a decision they'll regret for years to come.
Kansas City Chiefs welcome wide receiver Josh Downs, who “kind of screamed” when he learned of his trade from the Indianapolis Colts earlier this year. Downs, a fourth‑year playmaker praised for his route‑running and separation skills, gushed about joining quarterback Patrick Mahomes, saying the excitement is “hard to put into words.” The trade, announced at his first Chiefs press conference, energizes a team also scouting cornerback depth as they advance toward a new $3 billion stadium slated to open in 2031.
The Dolphins gear up for a Week 10 showdown with the Indianapolis Colts, a game that could shape the 2027 draft order. Quarterback Malik Willis is sidelined for at least four weeks after a lingering injury, prompting rookie Kyle McCord—selected in the 2025 sixth round—to make his first regular‑season start. Defensive tackle Zach Sieler suffered a torn biceps and faces surgery, while starting center Aaron Brewer missed practice with a concussion. Both teams are dealing with depleted rosters, adding extra intrigue to the 1 p.m. Eastern matchup.
The Steelers entered the 2026 trade deadline chasing three wide receivers—Jacksonville's Brian Thomas Jr., Indianapolis' Josh Downs, and Tennessee's Calvin Ridley—but walked away empty‑handed. Talks with Tennessee fell apart after Ridley's recent airport incident and his steep production drop (1,017 yards in 2024 to just six catches this season). Downs was blocked by Pittsburgh's lack of a 2027 fourth‑round pick, while the Colts ultimately sent him to Kansas City for multiple picks. The team also held back to preserve draft capital amid quarterback uncertainty, hoping injured Roman Wilson and Michael Pittman Jr. will return and rookie Germie Bernard can complement D.K. Metcalf.
The Vikings secured Kirk Cousins from the Las Vegas Raiders at the November 12 trade deadline, surrendering a 2027 third‑round pick. Before landing Cousins, Minnesota also queried the Chargers’ Justin Herbert, the Colts’ Daniel Jones and the Jets’ Geno Smith—each ultimately off the table due to no‑trade clauses, contract extensions, or lack of interest. The deal materialized just 90 minutes before the deadline after a disastrous outing by Carson Wentz and an injury to Kyler Murray. Cousins, who preferred Minnesota if a trade occurred, brings a $10 million 2027 roster bonus and an $80 million, two‑year extension the Vikings likely will restructure.
The post‑trade‑deadline edition of the 2027 NFL Mock Draft 6.0 examines how recent moves reshaped next year’s draft board. The biggest shock was Jacksonville trading a first‑round pick for Eagles DT Jordan Davis, giving Philadelphia, the Jets, Browns and Titans multiple first‑rounders. The Jets now sit with three top‑13 picks, making them the most intriguing team. The mock highlights top targets: Chargers eye Ohio State WR Jeremiah Smith; Titans consider South Carolina edge rusher Dylan Stewart; Dolphins favor Oklahoma State QB Drew Mestemaker; Jets (via Indianapolis) target Notre Dame CB Leonard Moore; Eagles look at Texas QB Arch Manning; Jets also like Miami QB Darian Mensah; Commanders eye Texas DE Colin Simmons; Buccaneers pursue Indiana WR Charlie Becker; Cardinals consider Notre Dame QB CJ Carr. The draft outlook reflects the trade deadline’s impact and shifting prospects as college season wraps up.
Philip Rivers, the former NC State quarterback and NFL veteran, is set to become the Wolfpack’s next head coach pending a Friday board vote. The 44‑year‑old, who has spent the past six seasons building St. Michael Catholic HS into a state semifinalist, told NC State he’d finish the high school playoff, which ended with a 42‑35 loss to The Glenwood School. He would inherit a 4‑5 team after the October 24 firing of Dave Doeren, with games remaining against Syracuse, Florida State and North Carolina. Rivers, who threw for 13,484 yards and 95 TDs at NC State (2000‑03) and briefly returned to the NFL with the Colts, was the early favorite over Russell Wilson. The board’s decision comes as Rivers’ son Gunner, a 2025 NC State commit, recovers from a knee injury.
The 49ers trade for veteran WR Keenan Allen from the Colts just before the deadline, giving quarterback Brock Purdy a healthy target as San Francisco battles injuries to Mike Evans, Deebo Samuel and others. The deal also revives a six‑year feud between Allen and Evans that began in 2020 when Allen mocked Evans on Twitter over the NFL Network Top 100 rankings. Allen, a six‑time Pro Bowler, arrives with 40 catches for 351 yards this season and is set to debut against the Dallas Cowboys, while Evans remains sidelined with rib and Achilles issues. Coach Kyle Shanahan says Evans may return later in the week.
Keenan Allen’s trade from the Indianapolis Colts to the San Francisco 49ers on Nov. 10, 2026, sparked a brief but enthusiastic Instagram post from his wife, Ciandra Monique, who wrote “BACK TO DA BAYYYYY.” The four‑word message, set to E‑40’s “Yay Area,” celebrates Allen’s return to the Bay Area, where he starred at Cal and now begins a one‑year stint with the 49ers after a six‑year, six‑time Pro Bowl career. The deal sent the veteran wide receiver to San Francisco for a 2027 sixth‑round pick, ending a short, 40‑reception run with the Colts.
The Indianapolis Colts lost in Week 9 in part because of a wretched play late in the game by Sauce Gardner. The cornerback. knew it too.
The 49ers are gearing up for a showdown with the Dallas Cowboys as they finalize roster moves ahead of the playoff push. Veteran wideout Keenan Allen, fresh from his trade from the Colts, jokes about a friendly jab from Mike Evans and admits he’s still mastering Kyle Shanahan’s playbook terminology. Cornerback Nate Hobbs returns to practice, offering versatile depth after injuries to the starting backs, while rookie Ephesians Prysock and practice‑squad addition Jack Jones vie for snaps. Backup quarterback Mac Jones expresses excitement staying with a winning squad, and Deebo Samuel joins Allen and West back on the field for the Cowboys clash.
JoeBucsFan.com’s “Morning Cup Of Joe” delivers a quick, upbeat start to the workday with a roundup of football links, quirky news, and a featured “Distraction of the Day.” The latest edition teases a discussion about whether the Indianapolis Colts mishandled a recent situation, inviting readers to dive into the full analysis.
Brevyn Spann-Ford took responsibility for 2 penalties against Indianapolis and explained what he needs to improve with Jake Ferguson sidelined.
The 49ers acquire veteran wideout Keenan Allen from the Colts for a 2027 sixth‑round pick, prompting questions about his feud with teammate Mike Evans. Allen says the 2020 social‑media spat over NFL Top 100 rankings is long over, praising Evans as the better player. Allen arrives with 40 catches, 351 yards and a touchdown in eight games this season, while Evans has 27 catches for 420 yards and three TDs despite a right Achilles injury. Together they give San Francisco two proven targets as the team eyes a championship run.
Former Cowboys receiver James Washington warns that Dallas’ 14 penalties (153 yards) in a 27-23 win over Indianapolis are “killing the spirit” of the team. The Cowboys sit 4-5, ranking second in the league with 42 penalties and leading with 667 penalty yards. Head coach Brian Schottenheimer and owner Jerry Jones face mounting criticism as the squad prepares for a Week 10 showdown with the 49ers, needing a stronger ground game to curb costly miscues and keep playoff hopes alive.
The Kansas City Chiefs bolstered Patrick Mahomes’ receiving options by trading for Indianapolis slot receiver Josh Downs before the Nov. 10 deadline, sending 2027 fourth‑ and fifth‑round picks and receiving a 2027 seventh‑rounder in return. Downs, who posted 33 catches for 354 yards and a TD in nine games, adds depth after injuries to Tyquan Thornton and Rashee Rice. Despite the move, the Chiefs keep a Tyreek Hill reunion on the table; Hill, a former Mahomes target who helped win Super Bowl LIV, is recovering from a severe knee injury and faces a pending NFL conduct investigation. His return could still reshape Kansas City’s offense this season.
The Miami Dolphins' injury list swells as starting center Aaron Brewer enters the NFL’s five-step concussion protocol after a hit in the loss to Detroit, missing Wednesday’s practice. The team also loses defensive tackle Zach Sieler for the season with a torn biceps and quarterback Malik Willis to IR for a lingering groin injury. Rookie guard Kadyn Proctor previously sat out a game with similar concussion symptoms. Brewers status will be closely monitored ahead of the Dolphins’ Week 10 road game against the Indianapolis Colts.
The Indianapolis Colts are going to look much different when they take the field for Sunday's game against the Miami Dolphins than they did at the start of the season after a number of trades, and quarterback Daniel Jones isn't thrilled about the situation.
After a 27-23 win over the Colts, Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott urged owner Jerry Jones to add depth before the trade deadline. In response, the Cowboys signed former New Orleans Saints running back Kendre Miller to the practice squad, filling the void left by injured backup Tyler Goodson and providing support for starter Javonte Williams. Miller, a fourth‑year veteran who posted 57 carries for 159 yards and two touchdowns in six games for the Saints in 2026, joins on a $17,000‑per‑week practice squad deal without costing Dallas any draft picks. The move leverages Miller’s familiarity with running‑back coach Derrick Foster and addresses the team’s sudden backfield crisis.
