Week 10 Trade Targets For Fantasy Football

Colston Loveland | TE | Chicago Bears

I could feature any key member of the Bears in this article for a simple reason.

The Chicago Bears offense is going to win 2026 fantasy football leagues.

Luther Burden has headlined this column before, but let’s focus on Loveland this time around. His slow start to the season sounded the alarms everywhere, but he’s since settled in. Since Week 6, Loveland is averaging 8.5 targets, 6.0 receptions, 63.3 receiving yards and 15.3 PPR PPG. During that span, Loveland has run 78% of the routes, while leading all tight ends in TPRR (26%) and ranking second in target share (25%). We've seen a strong floor from Loveland as of late, eclipsing 50 receiving yards in each of his last four games.

But we know there’s a sky high ceiling, too.

Of course, we still reminisce about the end to his rookie season when Loveland played a pivotal role in the Bears offense. From Week 8 on, Loveland emerged as not just the team’s top tight end, but their best pass catcher. During that stretch, Loveland ran 72% of the routes, logged 72.4% of the snaps and was targeted on 24% of his routes. That was the highest rate on the Bears, and the later the season, the more Chicago involved Loveland. From Weeks 17-20 (playoffs included, obviously), Loveland saw double-digit targets in all four games, averaging 12 looks per game while sporting a whopping 32% TPRR and 31% target share.

Fast forward back to present day and I fully expect Loveland to recapture that upside to close the 2026 campaign. The Bears have the most favorable rest of season schedule for tight ends from Week 10 on, drawing matchups with the Saints, Lions twice, Jaguars, Dolphins, Bills and Packers. That means Loveland will have four matchups against bottom-seven defenses at defending opposing tight ends. Loveland had a quiet game compared to Burden and Rome Odunze in Week 9 and because the Bears are on bye in Week 10, he might be a bit easier to acquire, especially if the team with him can’t afford to lose any more games. 

Jared Goff | QB | Detroit Lions

After a scorching start to the season, Goff has posted back-to-back duds, scoring a combined 16.3 fantasy points over the past two weeks. A poor showing against Minnesota’s vaunted defense is easy to overlook, but it was surprising to see Goff and the Lions offense struggle against Miami this past weekend. Still, Goff has been outstanding in just about every other game over the course of the season, and is going to return to borderline MVP form the rest of the way.

Goff and the Lions have an awesome schedule from here on. For starters, they have the eighth-best schedule for opposing quarterbacks from Weeks 10-17. But it’s not just about who the Lions are playing, but where they are playing. Since joining the Lions, Goff has always been a much more productive quarterback indoors. Fortunately for him, Detroit plays six of their next seven games indoors, with four of those contests coming at home. Since 2023, Goff is averaging 270.2 passing yards (5th), 2.09 passing touchdowns (5th) and 18.6 fantasy points per game when playing indoors. Meanwhile, perpetual injuries to Detroit’s defense assure that Goff and the offense will have to continue putting up points, giving us fantasy-friendly game environments.

Ollie Gordon | RB | Miami Dolphins

Gordon is coming off a down game against the Lions last week, carrying the ball 16 times for 55 scoreless yards. And once again, he was essentially useless in the passing game.

I’m going right back to the well.

Since becoming Miami’s starting running back in Week 4, Gordon has logged 73% of the snaps (8th), 69% of the rush attempts (10th) and 82% of the inside the five carries (8th). During that span, Gordon’s 17.4 carries per game are the ninth-most in the NFL, operating as fantasy’s RB21 on a PPG basis. Each week, you’d be tough to project many running backs with more carries than Gordon, but the only thing keeping him from flirting with low-end RB1 status has been consistent pass game usage. 

Gordon isn’t suddenly going to become Jahmyr Gibbs or Christian McCaffrey, but we could see a slight bump in targets going forward. Kyle McCord is set to take over at quarterback following Malik Willis’ move to injured reserve, which could lead to more check downs to the running backs. Willis is sporting just an 11.6% checkdown rate this season, which ranks 32nd among 33 qualified quarterbacks. McCord, meanwhile, heavily targeted RB LeQuint Allen during his time at Syracuse, so we could absolutely see more dump offs to Gordon out of the backfield going forward. 

The schedule is also very favorable for Gordon, as the Dolphins get an elite matchup against the Colts on Sunday before facing the Bills, Jets, Dolphins, Broncos, Bears, Packers, Chargers and Bills the rest of the way.
