Week 10 Bye Weeks Put Fantasy Managers Under Pressure

On November 10, 2026, the Week 10 running back outlook left fantasy managers with fewer familiar options. Jonah Coleman, Saquon Barkley, Bucky Irving and D'Andre Swift are all unavailable because of bye weeks, while injuries to Josh Jacobs and Rhamondre Stevenson also affect the available choices. These widespread shortages could make lineup decisions especially important as teams pursue playoff places.

Corey Kiner is the top waiver option if Stevenson and TreVeyon Henderson both miss the Patriots’ game. Kiner leads New England with 4.9 yards per carry and could handle at least 15 attempts, primarily on early downs and in short-yardage situations. Lan Larison is expected to take more of the passing-down work, and Kiner is a stronger option in non-PPR and half-PPR formats than in full PPR.

Other possible options depend on players’ health. Audric Estime could be a high-end flex if Travis Etienne remains out, with a potential 12 touches against Carolina. Zonovan Knight would be the preferred Cardinals running back if he clears concussion protocol; Tyler Allgeier is ranked as a starter in case Knight does not return. Cam Skattebo could also rank among the top 24 backs if he comes back from injury.

Managers should also consider less frequently started players, including Zach Charbonnet and Jadarian Price against the Raiders, and Breece Hall and Braelon Allen against Buffalo. Start Blake Corum alongside Kyren Williams; Corum has averaged 14 PPR points per game over the past month. Managers are advised to follow injury updates through the week before settling their lineups.
