Colts WR Michael Pittman dislocated a finger on his left hand in the fourth quarter of Sunday night's loss to the Vikings, he told the media on Wednesday. “(The finger) was like a right angle to my pinky," Pittman explained. “I knew it wasn’t right so I was like, ‘Hey, can you fix this?’ And (the medical staff) popped it back in for me." Pittman returned for the final drive of the Vikings game and is fully expected to play against the Bills this weekend. But it's another issue for a guy who's been battling a back injury for the past month. Pittman has totaled just eight catches for 128 yards and one TD over his last four games. He shouldn't be considered more than a lower-end WR3 right now.
Saints WR Chris Olave is consulting specialists after sustaining his fifth documented concussion -- and second this season -- in the Week 9 loss to the Panthers. “We’re more worried about Chris Olave the person and making sure that everything’s good,” interim HC Darren Rizzi said Wednesday. “Then once he goes through that process, we’ll bring it back to football to see how that fits in. When I say day to day, it sounds like coach-speak. He’s kind of seeing some specialists and we’ll go through the process." Olave won't play vs. the Falcons this weekend, and we wouldn't be surprised if he lands on IR later this week. Try to keep him stashed on fantasy benches for now -- but plan to be without him for multiple weeks.
Cowboys QB Dak Prescott's hamstring is partially torn off the bone, NFL Network's Jane Slater reports. "I’m told it typically takes more than a 4-week recovery," Slater adds. This injury can sometimes take 6-10 weeks to return from. Prescott is still seeking other opinions before the Cowboys decide whether to place him on IR. That seems like the most likely outcome at this point, though. And it's possible that Prescott misses more than four weeks. He's droppable in shallower fantasy leagues.
Cowboys WR CeeDee Lamb (shoulder) got in a limited practice on Wednesday. It looks like he's on track to play vs. the Eagles this weekend. An active Lamb would be tough to bench, but he sits significantly lower than usual in our Week 10 Rankings because of the shoulder injury and the absence of QB Dak Prescott.
Eagles WR DeVonta Smith (hamstring) did not practice on Wednesday. It was just a walkthrough for Philly, and we don't have any other details on Smith's status right now. He played 96% of snaps in the Week 9 win over the Jaguars. We're still tentatively expecting Smith to play vs. the Cowboys this weekend, but we'll update his status again tomorrow.
Eagles TE Dallas Goedert (hamstring) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice. Barring a setback, he should return for this weekend's game vs. the Cowboys. Goedert led all TEs in PPR points over the first four weeks of the season, but a lot of that damage came with WRs A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith out. We haven't seen all three guys play a full game together since Week 1. Goedert posted a 4-31-0 line on five targets in that one.
Eagles WR A.J. Brown (knee) got in a limited practice on Wednesday. That bodes well for his chances of playing vs. the Cowboys this weekend. We'll keep you updated on Brown's progress over the next few days, but he can stay penciled into Week 10 fantasy lineups for now.
Titans RB Tyjae Spears (hamstring) got in a limited practice on Wednesday. He was limited last Wednesday before sitting out Thursday and Friday and then missing the Patriots game. We'll keep tabs on Spears' status over the next few days leading up to this weekend's game vs. the Chargers. Spears isn't a viable Week 10 fantasy option, but his return would put a dent in RB Tony Pollard's fantasy value.
Commanders RB Brian Robinson (hamstring) was limited in Wednesday's practice. "All signs are pointing in the right way," HC Dan Quinn said of Robinson. "We’re really gonna push it this week and make sure he can respond in the right way." We're tentatively projecting Robinson to return for Sunday's game vs. the Steelers but will keep you posted on his status.
Commanders K Austin Seibert (hip) did not practice on Wednesday. He's been fantasy's No. 1 kicker so far this year, but fantasy managers will need to keep an eye on his status over the next few days leading up to Sunday's game vs. the Steelers.
49ers WRs Deebo Samuel (rib, oblique) and Jauan Jennings (hip) were limited in practice on Wednesday. That puts both guys on track to play vs. the Buccaneers this weekend. An active Samuel is a must-start. We'll see how snaps and targets are divvied between Jennings and Ricky Pearsall. Consider both guys WR4s with upside in Week 10 fantasy lineups.
Buccaneers QB Baker Mayfield (toe) did not practice on Wednesday. He seemed to come out of Monday night's loss to the Chiefs OK, so we're guessing that this is more of a rest day. We'll see if Mayfield gets back on the field tomorrow. If he can't play vs. the 49ers on Sunday, Tampa Bay would turn to QB Kyle Trask.
Falcons WR Drake London (hip) got in a limited practice on Wednesday. The fact that he did anything this early in the week bodes well for his availability for Sunday's game vs. the Saints. We're tentatively projecting London to play in that one but will keep you updated on his status.
Chiefs WR JuJu Smith-Schuster (hamstring) remained sidelined on Wednesday. We'll see if he gets back on the field over the next two days, but fantasy owners should not be banking on JuJu playing against the Broncos this weekend.
Bills WR Amari Cooper (wrist) remained limited in Wednesday's practice. He was limited all three days last week before missing the Dolphins game, so this doesn't tell us much about his Week 10 status. Buffalo could certainly use Cooper vs. the Colts this weekend with WR Keon Coleman (wrist) likely out. We'll keep you updated on his status.
Panthers TE Tommy Tremble (back) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice. That puts him on track to return for this weekend's game vs. the Giants. Tremble has continued to play ahead of TE Ja'Tavion Sanders when healthy, despite the latter's impressive rookie campaign. Sanders can't be trusted in Week 10 fantasy lineups if Tremble is active.
Panthers WR Adam Thielen (hamstring) did not practice on Wednesday. It looks like he suffered a setback in practice last week. Thielen seems unlikely to play vs. the Giants on Sunday, but we'll keep you updated on his status.
Giants WR Darius Slayton (concussion) did not practice on Wednesday. He'll need to get back on the practice field tomorrow to have a chance to play vs. the Panthers in Germany on Sunday. At this point, fantasy owners should not be counting on having Slayton for Week 10 fantasy lineups.
Ravens QB Lamar Jackson (knee) is not listed on the final Week 10 injury report. He returned to a full practice on Wednesday after taking Tuesday off. Jackson remains a must-start for Thursday night's game vs. the Bengals' 28th-ranked QB defense.
Ravens TE Isaiah Likely (hamstring) missed practice all week and is out for Thursday night's game vs. the Bengals. Likely has matched TE Mark Andrews with a 61% route rate and averaged 3.8 targets per game this season. His absence should mean a boost in playing time for Andrews against Cincinnati, although it's always tough to know exactly what Baltimore's game plans will look like.
