Fantasy Football News

Buccaneers QB Baker Mayfield is uncertain for next weekend's game vs. the Lions after suffering an injury to his foot/ankle area in the Week 9 loss to the Bears, NFL Network's Mike Garafolo reports. Mayfield was in a protective boot most of this past week, although the injury isn't considered long-term, Garafolo adds. We'll keep an eye on Mayfield this coming week. His absence would put QB Jalon Daniels back under center for the Bucs -- a downgrade for the pass catchers.

Texans Edge Will Anderson is active for today's high-upside matchup with the Browns. He entered the day questionable after a Thursday ankle injury that kept him out of Friday's practice. But beat writer Aaron Wilson says the injury "was never regarded as serious." That's enough to leave me playing Anderson at his normal level.

Packers RB Pierre Strong is a healthy scratch for today’s game vs. the Vikings. It’ll be Kaleb Johnson, MarShawn Lloyd, and Chris Brooks in Green Bay’s backfield. Johnson sits highest in our Week 10 rankings, but this is a situation to try to avoid.

Panthers RB Jonathon Brooks (groin) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Saints. He returned to practice this week and should be on track for a Week 11 return. RB Chuba Hubbard will continue to dominate work today.

Dolphins WR Chris Bell (knee) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Colts. The rookie has averaged only 3.4 targets per game this season, so his absence is just a slight boost to WRs Caleb Douglas and Malik Washington.

Jets WRs Garrett Wilson (concussion), Omar Cooper (ankle), and Adonai Mitchell (knee) are active for today’s game vs. the Bills. Wilson should be at 100% now that he’s cleared concussion protocol. Cooper and Mitchell also look relatively safe to get into fantasy lineups after putting in full practices on Friday.

Saints RB Travis Etienne (hamstring) is active for today’s game vs. the Panthers. He practiced all week, including a full workout on Friday, but Etienne’s workload is still tough to project in his first action since Week 3. He was working in a committee backfield even before the hamstring injury. Check your Team Dashboard to see if Etienne belongs in your starting lineup.

Titans RB Tyjae Spears (knee) is active for today’s game vs. the Jaguars. He’s not a viable fantasy start but could steal a few touches from RB Tony Pollard.

Vikings WR Jordan Addison (thumb) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Packers. With WR Jauan Jennings also out, Minnesota is down to WRs Myles Price, Tai Felton, and Jeshaun Jones behind WR Justin Jefferson. Jefferson could be in for huge volume today.

Browns WR Denzel Boston (toe) is active for today’s game vs. the Texans. He only got in one limited practice this week and was still in a walking boot as of Friday, so it’s safe to assume that Boston won’t be at 100% for this one. But the matchup against Houston’s 31st-ranked WR defense adds upside.

Patriots QB Drake Maye hurt his right ankle on a sack on the first possession of Sunday's game vs. the Lions. He headed back to the locker room and is officially questionable to return. QB Tommy DeVito has replaced Maye. We'll update his status when we know more.

Update: Maye has been ruled out. The Patriots have a Week 11 bye. We'll see about Maye's status beyond that.

Lions WR Amon-Ra St. Brown (rib) is active for today’s game vs. the Patriots in Germany. He played his usual role through this injury last week and remains a must-start in fantasy lineups today.

Patriots RB Rhamondre Stevenson (knee) is active for today’s game vs. the Lions in Germany. He was reportedly expected to miss multiple weeks with his knee injury and got in just two limited practices this week. It’s safe to assume that Stevenson won’t be at 100% today, leaving him as a risky fantasy start. But his availability knocks RB Corey Kiner out of lineup consideration.

Patriots WR A.J. Brown (knee, ankle) is active for today’s game vs. the Lions in Germany. He was limited in practice all week and listed as questionable, so it’s safe to assume Brown still isn’t back to 100%. He hasn't topped 3 catches or 48 yards in his 3 games this season and shouldn’t be considered more than a WR3 in Week 10 fantasy lineups.

Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes suffered a muscle strain and "a very small sprain" of the UCL in his throwing elbow last week, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. The Chiefs consulted doctors from the Kansas City Royals and Texas Rangers to offer second and third opinions on Mahomes' injury this week. They all believe that it's safe for Mahomes to play vs. the Falcons today. Mahomes remained sore throughout the week, per Schefter. but "took all the throws" in practice. The injury adds some risk to Mahomes' Week 10 profile, but he still lands safely inside the top 10 of our Week 10 QB rankings.

There's "some doubt" about Vikings WR Jordan Addison's availability for today's game vs. the Packers, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Addison injured his thumb in Friday's practice and is listed as questionable. The team is expected to make a decision on his status closer to kickoff, Rapoport adds. Addison will come with elevated risk if he suits up. If not, Minnesota would be down to WRs Myles Price, Tai Felton, and Jeshaun Jones behind WR Justin Jefferson. We'll get the Vikings' inactives around 11:30 am ET.

Browns WR Denzel Boston (toe) is expected to play vs. the Texans today, "barring a surprise," ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reports. Boston only got in one limited practice this week and was still in a walking boot as of Friday. That adds obvious risk to his profile, but he gets a nice matchup against a Houston defense that's allowed the second-most fantasy points per game to outside WRs.

Chargers WR Ladd McConkey (back) is listed as questionable for Monday night's game vs. the Ravens. He didn't practice all week, which seemingly has him on the wrong side of 50/50 to play against Baltimore. Barring some positive news on McConkey Sunday morning, he should be on fantasy benches.

The Packers activated RB Chris Brooks (ankle) from IR. He's been out since Week 4 but is now eligible to play vs. the Vikings tomorrow. We'll see if Green Bay rolls with four RBs or makes one of Brooks, Kaleb Johnson, MarShawn Lloyd, or Pierre Strong a healthy scratch. This remains a backfield to avoid in Week 10 fantasy lineups.

The Saints activated RB Travis Etienne (hamstring) from IR, putting him on track to play vs. the Panthers on Sunday. It'll be Etienne's first action since Week 3. He was leading a committee backfield before going down, but it's unclear exactly how big a role Etienne will play this weekend coming off the extended layoff. He's a risk/reward Week 10 fantasy start.
