49ers RB Christian McCaffrey was limited in practice on Wednesday. HC Kyle Shanahan said the veteran had "no pain," and we’re expecting CMC to make his 2024 debut against Tampa Bay. He’s a clear RB1 in our Week 10 RB rankings.
Bengals WR Tee Higgins (quad) is listed as doubtful for Thursday night's game vs. the Ravens. He didn't practice all week and won't play in that one. TE Mike Gesicki has been the beneficiary of Higgins' absences this season, averaging 6.8 targets, 5.5 catches, 70.5 yards, and 0.5 TDs in four outings without Higgins. Gesicki sits safely inside the top 10 TEs in our Week 10 Rankings.
Ravens RB Gus Edwards (ankle) has been designated to return from IR. He'll practice on Wednesday, although it's unclear if he'll be cleared to play vs. the Titans this weekend. Edwards was operating as a distant No. 2 behind J.K. Dobbins before going down -- and might have even lost that job to rookie Kimani Vidal. Edwards should stay on fantasy waiver wires for now.
Panthers HC Dave Canales said Wednesday that RB Jonathon Brooks (knee) will be activated but wouldn't commit to him playing vs. the Giants this weekend. Carolina needed to activate Brooks this week or else he would have gone on season-ending IR. The rookie was a full-go in practice all last week, but the team continues to be exceedingly cautious with his return to game action. We'll keep you updated on the situation, but Brooks shouldn't be in your Week 10 fantasy plans.
Texans WR Nico Collins (hamstring) was not designated to return and will not practice on Wednesday, according to insider Aaron Wilson. "Collins has passed all tests for hamstring, no setbacks, per league sources, regained speed, mobility, ready to go," Wilson tweets. But the Texans are still deciding whether to activate Collins for Sunday night's game vs. the Lions. We'll see if Collins gets back on the practice field tomorrow.
Bills HC Sean McDermott said Wednesday that WR Keon Coleman came out of the Week 9 win over the Dolphins with a wrist injury. Coleman won't practice on Wednesday. And, while McDermott wouldn't rule him out for this weekend's game vs. the Colts, he also said Coleman could be sidelined "more than just this week." We'll keep an eye on Coleman's status over the next few days, but he shouldn't be part of your Week 10 fantasy plans.
Jaguars HC Doug Pederson said QB Trevor Lawrence is dealing with "upper-body" soreness and will be limited in Wednesday's practice. He wouldn't commit to Lawrence being available for this weekend's game vs. the Vikings. Jacksonville notably signed QB C.J. Beathard off Miami's practice squad on Wednesday for more depth. QB Mac Jones would start against Minnesota if Lawrence is unable. We'll keep you updated on the situation. Lawrence's absence would be a downgrade for Jacksonville's offense, although Jones is one of the better backups in the league.
Ravens TE Isaiah Likely (hamstring) did not practice on Tuesday. He played a season-low 30% of the offensive snaps last week -- and it looks like we now know why. We'll see if Likely practices tomorrow and how he's listed on the final injury report for Thursday night's game vs. the Bengals. His absence would likely mean a boost in playing time for TE Mark Andrews.
Ravens QB Lamar Jackson (knee) did not practice on Tuesday. He missed two practices last week before torching the Broncos for 280 yards and three scores. It's at least worth noting that Jackson ran only three times for four yards in that one -- both season lows. We'll keep an eye on the rushing production, but HC Jim Harbaugh confirmed on Tuesday that Jackson will play vs. the Bengals on Thursday night. He remains a must-start in fantasy lineups.
Bengals WR Tee Higgins (quad) did not practice on Tuesday. He seems unlikely to be available for Thursday night's game vs. the Ravens, but we'll see how he's listed on the final injury report tomorrow. Higgins' absence would lock in Mike Gesicki as a top-10 TE play this week.
Vikings K Will Reichard is expected to miss at least this weekend's game vs. the Jaguars with a quad strain, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero. Minnesota is signing K John Parker Romo to fill in for Reichard. The former undrafted free agent has yet to attempt an NFL kick. The Vikings have a 25.75-point implied total this weekend, but we'd shy away from using Romo in fantasy lineups in his NFL debut.
Update: Reichard will be placed on IR, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. He'll miss at least the next four games and can be dropped from fantasy rosters.
Former Jets WR Mike Williams has been traded to the Pittsburgh Steelers for a 2025 Fifth Round pick. Williams was signed to the Jets as a free agent, but lost playing time to Allen Lazard. He was then buried after miscommunications with QB Aaron Rodgers and the Jets trading for WR Davante Adams. He should slot in as the WR2 for the Steelers.
Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said Tuesday that WR CeeDee Lamb (shoulder) has a "good chance" to play vs. the Eagles this weekend. We take anything Jones says with a hefty grain of salt, but this matches previous reporting that Lamb could be ready by Sunday. We'll keep a close eye on his status throughout the week. For now, we're projecting him in for Week 10.
The Panthers are trading WR Jonathan Mingo to the Cowboys. Dallas is sending a fourth-round 2025 pick for Mingo and a seventh-rounder.
Jerry Jones revealed during his weekly Tuesday radio spot that the Cowboys will place QB Dak Prescott on IR for his hamstring injury. That means the QB will miss at least the next four games.
Buccaneers TE Cade Otton delivered 8 catches, 77 yards, and 1 TD against Kansas City. He saw a huge 35.4% target share – easily the best on the team.
Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes avoided a serious ankle injury in Monday’s win over Tampa Bay. Mahomes hurt the ankle on a late-game throw on the run. "I was obviously running for the goal line, kind of had committed to running the football, and at the last second saw Samaje and so kind of awkwardly rolled the ankle a bit," Mahomes told reporters postgame. "Definitely scary, I think it hurt more just because it was the same ankle I rolled last week. So scared me a little bit, but once I took my breath and kind of calmed down a little bit, it ended up not being too bad." He might miss some practice time, but Mahomes is on track to face Denver in Week 10.
Chiefs WR DeAndre Hopkins erupted for 8 catches, 86 yards, and 2 TDs in a Week 9 win over Tampa Bay. After seeing a limited role in his K.C. debut, Hopkins’ usage noticeably increased against the Bucs.
The Browns are trading Edge Za'Darius Smith to the Lions for a 2025 fifth-round pick and a late-round pick swap in 2026. Smith has 5 sacks and 7 QB hits through nine games. He joins a Detroit defense that has tallied 5 sacks over three games since Edge Aidan Hutchinson went down -- including just 1 total sack over the past two weeks.
The Bengals are trading a seventh-round pick to the Bears for RB Khalil Herbert. It's much-needed depth for a Cincinnati squad that just lost RB Zack Moss to a neck injury. He's out "indefinitely," according to HC Zac Taylor.
Update: Moss is expected to miss the rest of the regular season, according to NFL Network.
