Fantasy Football News

49ers WR Mike Evans (Achilles) remained sidelined in practice all week and is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Cowboys. WR Deebo Samuel (hamstring) is off the final injury report. He practiced all week, including a full workout on Friday. That’s an encouraging sign, but Samuel would still be a risky fantasy start in his first action in over a month.

Cowboys TE Jake Ferguson (knee, ankle) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the 49ers. That leaves Brevyn Spann-Ford as Dallas’ top TE. He’s more of a daily tournament flier than season-long starter. San Francisco ranks 15th in adjusted fantasy points allowed to TEs.

Cowboys WR George Pickens (hamstring) is off the final injury report and will play vs. the 49ers on Sunday. He was a full participant in Friday’s practice for the first time since the Friday before Week 7. Pickens is seemingly getting closer to 100% and is worth getting back in most fantasy lineups as a WR2 with upside.

Seahawks QB Sam Darnold (ribs, quad) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Raiders. QB Drew Lock (right elbow, oblique) was limited in practice all week but is off the final injury report. Lock will start against Vegas but is only in play in 2-QB and superflex leagues at less than 100%.

Cardinals RB Bam Knight (concussion) is off the final injury report and will play vs. the Rams on Sunday. We’re expecting Knight and RB Tyler Allgeier to split work down the middle, as they did with RB Jeremiyah Love out in Weeks 6 and 7. That leaves both guys as unexciting RB3s with Arizona implied for a week-low 15 points.

Dolphins RB Jaylen Wright (quad) put in a full week of practice and is off the final injury report for Sunday’s game vs. the Colts. He should return to his role as No. 2 RB behind Ollie Gordon but isn’t a fantasy option.

Dolphins WR Chris Bell (knee) is listed as doubtful for Sunday’s game vs. the Colts. He injured his surgically repaired knee in last week's loss to the Lions, HC Jeff Hafley said Friday. Bell 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 listed as questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Bills. Wilson and Cooper are on track to play after progressing from limited practices on Wednesday and Thursday to full practices on Friday. Mitchell was added to Friday’s injury report but listed as a full participant in practice. We’ll keep you updated on this WR corps and get New York’s inactives around 11:30 am ET Sunday.

Vikings WR Jordan Addison (thumb) is questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Packers. He was added to the injury report and limited in practice on Friday. We’ll look for further updates on his status and get Minnesota’s inactives around 11:30 am ET Sunday. If available, Addison will be in the WR3 mix with Kirk Cousins back under center.

Vikings TE T.J. Hockenson (wrist, chest) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Packers. We don’t have any details on either injury, but he didn’t practice all week. Hockenson has drawn a 21% target share this season, so it’s a significant loss. TE Gavin Bartholomew drew a 21% target share on a 63% route rate when Hockenson missed most of Week 5. You shouldn’t need to go there in season-long lineups, but Bartholomew might be worth a look in daily contests. Hockenson’s absence should push more targets to WRs Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison.

Browns WR Denzel Boston (toe) is questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Texans. He only got in a limited practice on Friday and had a walking boot on his left foot after Friday’s workout. HC Todd Monken said Boston is “trending in the right way” to play on Sunday, but this toe issue adds risk to his fantasy profile.

Jaguars WR Jakobi Meyers (ankle) is off the final Week 10 injury report. He only got in limited practices on Thursday and Friday but will play vs. the Titans this weekend. Meyers is a viable WR3 in that plus matchup.

Jaguars RB Bhayshul Tuten (ankle, foot) is not listed on the final injury report for Sunday’s game vs. the Titans. He only got in a limited practice on Friday, so it’s safe to assume that Tuten still isn’t at 100%. That might mean fewer touches than usual this weekend, but Tuten remains a strong fantasy start against Tennessee’s 27th-ranked RB defense.

Texans RB David Montgomery (groin) is listed as questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Browns. He went from no practice on Wednesday to a limited workout on Thursday to full on Friday. Montgomery has been out since Week 5, so it’s possible Houston is ramping him up for a Week 11 return. We’ll look for further updates on his status. RB Woody Marks (knee), who sat out on Thursday, returned to a full practice on Friday and is off the final injury report.

Texans WR Marvin Harrison (hamstring) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Browns. It looks like he hurt his hamstring on Wednesday and then missed the final two practices of the week. This could turn out to be a multi-game absence. Harrison has posted 25%, 25%, and 35% route rates in his three games with the Texans, totaling 11 targets. It’s not a huge loss, but it does free up a few more routes for WRs Tank Dell and Kayshon Boutte, who have been splitting work with Harrison.

Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes (right elbow, knee) put in a full week of practice and is not listed on the final injury report. He’ll start Sunday’s game vs. the Falcons. Last week’s throwing-elbow injury adds some risk to his Week 10 profile. But Mahomes returned from the injury and played well last week, so we’re not docking him in our projections.

Titans RB Tyjae Spears (knee) is listed as questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Jaguars. He progressed to a full practice on Friday, which should have him on track to play. Spears isn’t a viable fantasy start but could steal a few touches from RB Tony Pollard.

Saints RB Travis Etienne (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game vs. the Panthers. He practiced all week, including a full workout on Friday, which should have him on track to return for this one. Etienne was leading a committee backfield before going down in Week 3, totaling 17 carries and 11 targets in two full games. It’s unclear exactly how big a role he’ll play in his first action in a month and a half. Etienne is the best fantasy bet in New Orleans’ backfield, but consider him just a risk/reward RB3 or flex play. RB C.J. Donaldson (shoulder) is out for Week 10, leaving RBs Alvin Kamara and Audric Estime behind Etienne.

Chiefs RB Kenneth Walker was held out of Friday's practice with groin tightness, HC Andy Reid said. "We'll see how he feels through this afternoon, with rehab, and through tomorrow," Reid added. We'll be on Walker Watch through the weekend. Make sure RB Emmett Johnson is rostered in your fantasy league. He'll be Kansas City's lead back and a high-upside fantasy start if Walker misses Sunday's game vs. the Falcons.

Update: Walker is listed as questionable.

Panthers RB Jonathon Brooks (groin) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game vs. the Saints. He returned to practice this week but isn't ready for live action just yet. Chuba Hubbard will continue to dominate work in Carolina's backfield in a juicy matchup against the league's 31st-ranked RB defense.
