Fantasy Football Dynasty Report for Week 10
Welcome back to the Dynasty Report!
This week’s dynasty report is different than most. We have officially hit the halfway point of the 2026 fantasy football season, and it is time for some midseason awards. These awards are mostly based on players’ on-field NFL performances through seven weeks, but also take into account player perception and other factors.
Come back next week for more rookie standouts, dynasty stock reports, prospect performances, and more dynasty content. And if you are looking for an even deeper look into dynasty football, be sure to tune in every week to the Fantasy Footballers Dynasty Podcast with Borg, Betz, and one of the Ballers!
Rookie Standouts
A few weeks ago I said that the presence of J.K. Dobbins and RJ Harvey would be too much for Jonah Coleman to overcome and become a weekly starter this season. However, I was wrong about that, due to a mix of Harvey’s knee injury, Dobbins’ inefficiency, and Coleman’s big-play ability. Coleman is 18th in a team’s rushing attempts and target share at RB since returning from injury. He shoots up to 13th in rushing market share and eighth in RB target share if you only include the games without Harvey. Despite only being active for five games this season, Coleman (9) is only one red zone opportunity behind Dobbins (10) this season, while Harvey only has one red zone opportunity on the year. The Denver Broncos are on bye this week, but their upcoming schedule heading into the fantasy playoffs (PIT, MIA, NYJ, LV) is very enticing.
There was some doubt about Omar Cooper Jr.’s involvement in the New York Jets’ offense following Adonai Mitchell’s return. Cooper Jr. saw zero targets in Week 8, despite seeing a 78% snap share. However, he saw plenty of opportunity in a Week 9 blowout against the Chiefs. He only scored 9.8 half-PPR points, but his 11 targets were encouraging. Garrett Wilson’s imminent return from a concussion could cause Cooper Jr.’s production and involvement in New York’s offense to decrease again, but their upcoming game against the Bills should involve plenty of garbage-time passing attempts from Geno Smith. Cooper Jr.’s long-term dynasty value heavily relies on what the Jets’ long-term plan is for the QB position.
Trade Deadline Stock Report
The Minnesota Vikings acquired Kirk Cousins from the Las Vegas Raiders in exchange for a 2027 third-round pick. This likely ends Kyler Murray’s career as a starting QB. The Vikings have struggled at QB this year, whether it was with Kyler, Carson Wentz, or the few snaps of Max Brosmer we saw last week. As someone living in Arizona, I have seen Cardinals fans on both sides, either supporting or hate-watching Kyler in Minnesota. Unfortunately, Kyler was unable to support Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison for fantasy managers. More importantly, he was unable to lead the Vikings to scoring real NFL points. Minnesota ranks bottom-two in total yards per game and passing yards per game, while also ranking 27th in points per game, ahead of teams like the Titans, Dolphins, and Chargers. This could be a buy-super-duper-low for Kyler fans, but I cannot picture a scenario where Kyler becomes a true dynasty asset other than being a backup who could come in for a few weeks.

The short-term benefits of this trade for Jefferson and Addison are clear, but it does create a scary scenario that you have to consider when thinking about the Vikings post-Cousins (pt. 2). Kyler was not the answer, and neither was Wentz, Brosmer, J.J. McCarthy, Josh Dobbs, Nick Mullens, or Jaren Hall, six of the seven QBs Minnesota has rolled out post-Cousins. They had their guy in Sam Darnold, but let him walk, and you see how things look for them now. Enjoy every snap you get from Cousins as a Jefferson, Addison, or Hockenson manager. However, you might want to consider how much longer you think Cousins will be on the Vikings and produce for all of their pass-catching options.
The Indianapolis Colts refused to move on from Jonathan Taylor (and Daniel Jones) at the trade deadline. They traded away Josh Downs, Keenan Allen, Quenton Nelson, and DeForest Buckner, indicating the start of a complete rebuild. Taylor has historically played much better in wins than losses, and I do not project many wins for the Colts in the near future. It will be tough to gauge Taylor’s dynasty value as a soon-to-be 28-year-old RB who signed a two-year extension on a tanking team. His name value alone propels him into top-10 conversations in dynasty, but he might be in a similar situation to Derrick Henry’s final year in Tennessee.
Jonathan Taylor Week 9
– 70% snaps
– 13 carries, 46 yds
– 22 routes, 5 targets, 5 catches, 18 yds
– 9.4 fantasy pointsHe's had his 2 worst fantasy games the last 2 weeks – someone please trade for him!

Daniel Jones has taken a significant step back post-Achilles tear. He is the QB39 in PPG this season, behind guys like Athan Kaliakmanis, Joe Milton III, and Tanner McKee. In an era where we have seen superstars across sports come back from Achilles tears and return to their old selves, Jones unfortunately has not looked the same as he did last season. The Keenan Allen and Josh Downs trades certainly do not help, but Jones was on a downward trajectory regardless of those moves.
Prospect Performance
Dylan Riley
We have seen this story before: a dominant Boise State RB comes into the NFL following a dominant CFB season, and dynasty managers are excited about his production. Fortunately for Dylan Riley, his expectations will not be as high as Ashton Jeanty’s, who came into the NFL as the sixth overall pick. Riley’s big-play ability is what excites me most as someone the manager of a few rebuilding dynasty teams. Last week, he scored a 73-yard receiving TD and finished the game with 21 touches for 280 scrimmage yards and three TDs against Colorado State. Many RBs have put their name in the hat for best/most exciting RB prospect of the 2027 draft class, and Riley has the potential to be a dynasty darling in rookie drafts this upcoming offseason.
Boise State had Ashton Jeanty. Now they have Dylan Riley 🐴🔥

Marquee Prospect Matchup
Texas vs LSU
Cam Coleman and Jackson Harris (WRs) will both take the field in what could be a defining game of the CFB season, with real playoff stakes on the line. That is, until they expand the playoffs to 64 teams like March Madness. Coleman is projected as a potential first-round pick, but Harris has significantly outplayed him so far this season. Harris has more receptions and yards, while they are tied at seven TDs on the season. Arch Manning’s performance on the road in Death Valley could also add more fuel to his name in dynasty.
