November is here — the unofficial start of the witching hour of the fantasy football season. We’ve crossed the point of no return, with fewer weeks left than games already played. In formats like the FFPC and NFFC, only five waiver periods remain before claims lock. In most home leagues, just eight weeks are left, playoffs included.
The good news? Your weekday evenings — and maybe your sanity — are almost yours again. The bad news? The window to make that one decisive move to push your team over the top is rapidly closing.
This week delivered another gut punch: Tucker Kraft’s season is over after suffering a torn ACL. Fantasy managers who had enjoyed a weekly positional edge now find themselves scrambling for a replacement. Never a dull moment in this thing of ours.
And Week 10 won’t offer much relief. Dallas, Cincinnati, and Kansas City are all on bye (along with Tennessee, though that one stings a bit less). That means some of fantasy’s biggest stars and highest scorers will be absent — forcing managers to dig deep to survive another brutal stretch of the schedule.

Running Backs
Devin Singletary (RB, NYG) — Singletary out-touched and out-produced Tyrone Tracy, a significant development in New York’s first game without Cam Skattebo. He should be added in all formats and see where this goes. Singletary has a history with Brian Daboll dating back to their Buffalo days.
Emari Demercado (RB, Ari) — Arizona rode the hot hand at running back in their MNF win over Dallas. Demercado led them with 14-79 and added a reception. Bam Knight also mixed in. Demercado looks like the better option moving forward and can lead Arizona in RB production until Trey Benson returns from injury.
