As November begins to welcome itself to 2025, Halloween decorations are put back in the attic, and the last remaining bits of candy start to “disappear.” Thanksgiving will be here before you know it, and so will the Fantasy Football playoffs. So, as you scurry to find that pumpkin pie recipe, check out this week’s Fantasy Forecast to make sure you stay on track.
New York Giants vs. Chicago Bears
The Giants are coming off three straight losses and are winless on the road. The Bears, on the other hand, have won five out of their last six, including a nail-biter last week in which they edged out the Cincinnati Bengals with under a minute left on the clock. And yet, what may seem like an easy victory for the latter isn’t the case, as the Bears are only favored by 0.4%, according to ESPN Analytics.
Quarterback Jaxson Dart will face off against Caleb Williams this Sunday at 1 p.m. at Soldier Field. The NFC matchup should be one for the books, as the Giants desperately need a win while the Bears are staring at the top spot of their division. With both teams’ star running backs sidelined with injuries, this Week 10 brawl should be filled with air attacks. Fantasy users can expect a heavy day from both quarterbacks and their wide receiving counterparts.
Los Angeles Rams vs. San Francisco 49ers
Division matchups are always entertaining, as the rivalry between the two going head-to-head is heated. However, when those two teams reside in the same state, the stakes are even higher. That’s exactly what is going to unfold this weekend as the Rams will head up the coast to take on the 49ers in Levi Stadium.
Both teams are seeking their seventh win in hopes of claiming the top spot in the NFC West. As the 49ers’ leader in both rushing and receiving, running back Christian McCaffrey will look to continue this display of dominance against the Rams’ defense. That’s not to say that the 49ers defense won’t have its hands full, too. Ram’s running back Kyren Williams and wide receiver Puka Nacua are among the top fantasy scorers in their respective positions. The highly anticipated battle for California takes place this Sunday at 4:25 p.m.
New England Patriots vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
This week could very well answer the question of whether Drake Maye is the quarterback New England has been searching for since Tom Brady. The Patriots will look to extend their six-game win streak this Sunday as they challenge the Buccaneers in Tampa, FL.
Fantasy users should be on the lookout for wide receivers DeMario Douglas and Stefon Diggs, who seem to be Maye’s go-tos. A win this week will start to set the tone for the Pats’ playoff look, as a light three-game stretch to their bye week is just ahead. For the Bucs, who have a chance to claim the top spot in the NFC, quarterback Baker Mayfield will rely heavily on Rachaad White in the backfield and Emeka Egbuka at wideout. With Tampa Bay anxiously wanting that seventh win, the 1 p.m. matchup will require all hands-on deck.
Best of luck, Huskies.
