2022 Fantasy Football Stock Watch Week 10 Risers & Fallers: Aaron Rodgers & Packers Trending Down
Published: Nov 08, 2022
In NFL Week 9 of the fantasy football season, we saw Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon break the slate by scoring five touchdowns and collecting 208 total yards. Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Davante Adams bounced back from a miserable one-reception game in Week 8 by moving atop fantasy football rankings with 10 receptions and two TDs. Plus, Chicago Bears Quarterback Justin Fields stayed hot, throwing three touchdown passes and running one in while compiling 178 rushing yards. New team arrivals T.J. Hockenson and Jeff Wilson Jr. were very involved in their respective games as well. Injuries hit the Green Bay Packers hard this week as Aaron Jones and Romeo Doubs both suffered ankle injuries. Reports are out that Doubs actually suffered a high ankle sprain and will likely miss time. Christian Watson also landed on the NFL injury report for Week 10 after sustaining a concussion in Green Bay's game against Detroit. On that note, Packers QB Aaron Rodgers is among the top players trending down in the latest fantasy football stock watch video for NFL Week 10. Here are a few of the latest trendy players for this week's fantasy football stock watch.

Player News
Dolphins signed No. 13 overall pick DT Kenneth Grant to a four-year contract.
ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reports that Grant will sign his contract today. The former Michigan defensive tackle is expected to fill a major void left by Christian Wilkins, who left for the Raiders in the 2024 offseason. Grant totaled 32 tackles, three sacks, and seven TFLs in his final season at Michigan and excelled at stopping the run while also generating 27 pressures in his final season, per PFF.
Beat reporter John Hendrix reports that free agent WR Donovan Peoples-Jones is among the 16 players that the Saints will host for their rookie minicamp.
Peoples-Jones last played regular season snaps with the Lions back in 2023, when he caught 13-of-24 targets for 155 yards. He is highly unlikely to return to fantasy relevance at this point but could perhaps sign on as a special teams contributor.
Titans signed fourth-round pick WR Elic Ayomanor to a four-year contract.
Ayomanor will now begin learning behind Calvin Ridley. Although Ayomanor is unlikely to find a meaningful role in year one, dynasty managers should note his status as training camp gets underway this summer. The former Stanford receiver flashed big-play ability in his two college seasons.
Buccaneers signed seventh-round pick WR Tez Johnson to a four-year contract.
Johnson will serve as a rotational deep-threat option for Baker Mayfield. His thin frame (5'10/154) simply does not lend itself to the repeated hits one incurs in a full-time role. Johnson did earn 100-plus targets in his two seasons at Oregon, though. His big-play style make him a better fit in best ball for now, pending any major on-field breakthroughs.
Giants waived DT Casey Rogers.
Rogers was a 2024 undrafted free agent and logged 33 defensive snaps for the Giants in his rookie season. He is credited with zero tackles and/or sacks. He may find his way onto another roster as a practice squad option.
Vikings signed third-round pick WR Tai Felton to a four-year contract.
Felton is quietly in play to challenge Vikings No. 3 WR Jalen Nailor in training camp. Nailor (5'11/190) caught 28-of-42 targets for 414 yards and six touchdowns in his first season as a starter last year, with the latter category buoying his fantasy productivity. Felton (6'1/183), meanwhile, caught 96-of-143 targets for 1,119 yards and nine touchdowns while averaging 2.32 yards per route run in his final college season. Fantasy managers should monitor Felton’s training camp reports this summer, as he could have a matchup-based WR5 role if everything falls into place.
