NFL Week 10 Dynasty Detour

Dynasty Detour - Week 10

Dynasty Detour 🚧
November 11, 2025

Week 10 was one of those weeks that made you question everything you know about football. TreVeyon Henderson went nuclear, Bryce Young went missing, and somewhere out there, Alec Pierce turned into a top-15 receiver. Let’s hit the Detour.

📝 Traffic Report

Let’s get into some of the best and worst performances of Week 10:

TreVeyon Henderson, NE RB - 14 CAR, 147 YD, 2 TD

If Rhamondre out touches Henderson in their next game sharing the field, I will lose it. While Stevenson is a talented player, Henderson needs to be on the field. He showed that with 2 50+ yard touchdowns in his first big game for New England.
Dynasty Takeaway: If you didn’t buy TreVeyon before this performance, good luck. He has fantasy league winning potential, if Vrabel isn’t special and decides to revert back to a Stevenson led backfield. Get him in your lineups going forward.

Chris Olave, NO WR - 5/8 REC, 104 YD, 1 TD

Olave is quietly reviving his fantasy stock despite dealing with subpar quarterback play. With little target competition, he will continue to be Shough’s number 1, who flashed some potential on Sunday.
Dynasty Takeaway: Olave’s injury history certainly provides a tax that is not on most players, but I’m a believer in the talent, and the QB play can only get better. However… if it’s me, I’m still shipping the guy who’s one concussion away from a major hit to his value, for Jordan Addison or Devonta Smith.

Bryce Young, CAR QB - 17/25, 124 YD, 1 INT, 1 FUM

If there was a stat to summarize Young’s performance on Sunday, it’s this: Despite replacing an injured Jaxson Dart and only completing 3 passes, Russell Wilson outscored Bryce Young.
Dynasty Takeaway: The Panthers’ record may have bought Bryce some time as a starting QB, but he’s not someone I believe in long-term. Even as a starter, he’s a low upside QB2. If you can somehow get a 2028 first, make the move, but I’m not sure anyone is buying with the recent performances.

Devon Achane, MIA RB - 22 CAR, 174 YD, 2 TD | 6/6 REC, 51 YD

Wow. Dynasty Detour Ryan had some justifiable concerns with Achane’s game coming into the season, but he has discarded those so far, pushing his way into being a top 20 dynasty asset. With the passing work he receives, it feels like his floor is 10 points every week.
Dynasty Takeaway: Achane is locked in as my RB5, behind Jeanty, but he surpasses Jeanty if you are in contention. That matchup in Week 16 vs Cincinnati could be key in sending you to the Fantasy Championship.

Jacorey Croskey-Merritt, WAS RB - 11 CAR, 30 YD

After an exhilarating start to the season, where Bill was PFF’s top RB, things have come back to Earth. Bill has not surpassed 6 points since week 5, and has 8 catches on the year. In a low scoring offense, Bill is not someone I want in my starting lineup.
Dynasty Takeaway: The sell window might have passed on Bill. Yes, he led the team in carries, but he only played 44% of snaps and did not catch a pass. I’m expecting WAS to draft an RB, and would sell Bill for anything close to a 2nd.

🚑️ Injury Report

Garrett Wilson suffered a knee sprain and is expected to miss 3-4 weeks. Hopefully he makes it back for the fantasy playoffs, but what a bummer. Downgrade Fields, and hopefully Mason Taylor can see some volume with Wilson sidelined.
Oronde Gadsden II avoided a major injury, and is considered day-to-day. If he’s playing, he’s a more-than-startable tight end. If he’s not, upgrade Ladd, Keenan & QJ, as there’s only so much ball to go around in LA.

🚘 Fast Lane Fun Facts

Here are 6 crazy stats from the past few weeks to take into Week 11.

Since Jacoby Brissett took over Week 6, Trey McBride is averaging 11.5 targets, 8 receptions, and 82 yards per game to go with 5 TDs in 4 games. He’s 10+ targets clear of the next closest TEs over this stretch: Tyler Warren (36), Kyle Pitts (35), and Oronde Gadsden (33), all of whom have played one more game than McBride.

Dynasty Take: With Kyler Murray sidelined at least 3 more weeks, and his status as the rest of season starter in jeopardy when he returns, McBride is shaping up to be a complete difference maker and league-winner for owners. Oh, by the way, McBride’s 27.7 TEP FPTS the last 4 games trail only Johnathan Taylor (higher than Chase, London, JSN, and CMC).

Bucs TE Cade Otton is averaging 8.7 tgts/game, 6.7 rec/game, and 17.4 TEP FPTS/game with 0 weeks below 10 in 7 games without Evans and Godwin the last two seasons

Dynasty Take: Egbuka’s arrival this year has put a damper on Otton’s production amidst the absences this year (12.8 PPG) versus last year (23.4 PPG), but clearly he steps up consistently. Worries about Godwin’s ability to come back from last year’s injury mean we could have a few more weeks of top-shelf TE finishes. A gamble on buying Otton cheap if possible could pay off big should Godwin not be able to make his way back.

Alec Pierce is PPR WR14 since returning from his injury 5 weeks ago.

Dynasty Take: Pierce is 10th in targets during that stretch, and has carved out a significant role in what looks to be one of the most efficient offenses the rest of the way. He’s a fine WR3/Flex option for team’s looking to add to their rotation, but the short sample size of success for both he and this team as a whole, as well as competition from Tyler Warren and other talented receivers long term, make me apprehensive to add Pierce for long term return on investment.

Since Tyler Shough took over in Week 8, Chris Olave (14.9 PPG before, 14.7 since) and Juwan Johnson (11.7 TEP PPG before, 12.5 since) have maintained their production without issue.

Dynasty Take: Concussion history has me worried to pay the price Olave is once again starting to command, but both provide high floor (8 games over 10 PTS for Olave, 7 for Johnson) options to add to teams in need of some point getters on their way to the post-season. Just make sure you keep in mind the Saints’ long term timeline and construction are very much in flux when assessing their dynasty value.

Over the last 4 weeks, Troy Franklin is averaging 9 targets, 1 TD, and 15.8 FPTS per game.

Dynasty Take: The Broncos usual go-to red zone WR Courtland Sutton has struggled to build off of his WR15 season last year, but I’m not yet convinced Franklin is the heir apparent. Franklin only has 4.5 rec/game and one game over 40 yards during the same stretch. Franklin will have to live on big plays and touchdowns, but with the 6th most deep targets and 4th most red zone targets in the NFL, it’s not out of the picture. Will Denver give Franklin the chance to be the WR1 next season as Sutton fades? Could go either way.

The Buccaneers have been without Evans and Godwin since Week 5. In that time Emeka Egbuka has 44.2 FPTS. Tez Johnson has 56.8.

Dynasty Take: Johnson’s success over this stretch is much more dependent on touchdowns (4 TDs to Egbuka’s 1) than usage (23 tgts to Egbuka’s 38). Egbuka will take back top billing, but Johnson provides week to week upside while he remains WR2.

Thanks for riding with us, and best of luck in the week ahead. See you on Thursday, Detourists.
