As we get ready for the Week 10 main slate, one of the best offenses in football is getting stronger while one of the worst teams is somehow getting worse.
Itās another chaotic morning on the injury front.
Hereās everything you need to know before setting your lineup ā¦
CMC is back. The last time CMC was expected to play football was Week 1 MNF. Of course, he was a surprise late scratch and we havenāt seen him since. Itās reasonable to be skeptical about him returning to a full role, but heās impossible to sit in managed leagues. Heās our consensus RB11 and I love the idea of playing him in DFS.
The Saints are decimated. On the flip side, New Orleans is in shambles. In addition to playing their first game under the Rizzler, they will be without Chris Olaveāwho might miss the rest of the season. Their WR room today is headlined by Mason Tipton, Marquez Valdes-Scantling (yes, heās on the Saints now), and Jermaine Jackson. Safe to say, feel free to start Taysom Hill today (heās our TE10).
Quick hitters. Drake London and Deebo Samuel are playing today ā¦ It sounds like Dak might be done for the year (& now the Cowboys are threatening us with Trey Lance) ā¦ The Jags WRs are good to go, bud bad news on Trevor Lawrence ā¦ Tank Dell is expected to play tonight, but Nico Collins is a GTD (make sure you have a backup plan) ā¦ Tyreek Hill is also a GTD for MNF. Ugh ā¦ We will have to wait another week to see Jonathan Brooks (knee; sigh).
Read on for an offense to load up on today in DFS ā¦

11/10 Stat of the Day: An Emerging WR in LA
- by Matt LaMarca
Stat: Quentin Johnston is still available in 60% of Yahoo leagues and 56.3% of ESPN leagues
Johnston was the No. 1 target using this weekāsĀ waiver wire tool. Heās consistently been the Chargersā No. 2 option in the passing game, racking up a 19% target share and 30% air yards share in his six contests. Heās already had two weeks where heās finished as a top-10 WR in PPR scoring, and heās coming off the first 100-yard game of his career last week.
The Chargersā offense has also become a bit more pass-friendly in recent weeks. They started the year as one of the most run-heavy offenses in football, posting a -5%Ā dropback over expectation (DBOE) through their first four games. Since then, theyāve been at +3%, andĀ Justin Herbert has averaged 286.6 passing yards per game.
With their offense trending in a more favorable direction, Johnston deserves to be rostered in all but the shallowest of leagues. He still profiles as a āboom-or-bustā type of option, but the booms could be a bit more frequent moving forward.
