NFL Player News - Week 10

LT you think Nick Chubb is going to start breaking out? He had big day Sunday but I am thinking he might bet even better. Should he be a sure starter for me from now on?

He is certainly the lead back and I like him, but it is CLEVELAND after all so who knows, especially with defenses keying on him.

Wednesday Update

PIT - Le'Veon Bell may not report after all?

Source: 1 No Source

Updating previous reports, Pittsburgh Steelers RB Le'Veon Bell is reportedly contemplating whether or not he will show up by the Nov. 13 franchise tag deadline based on newly learned information from the collective bargaining agreement that would allow him to be deemed a third-year franchise player in 2019 rather than revert to the second year, even if he doesn't report.

[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]

The latest report in the Bell saga reminds us nobody knows anything. At this point, it seems like anything is possible. Stay tuned.

TEN - WR Tajae Sharpe hurt but should play

Tennessee Titans WR Tajae Sharpe (undisclosed) 'tweaked something' during a pre-game warmup in Week 9, according to head coach Mike Vrabel.

[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]

Only dynasty GMs should be monitoring Sharpe's progress. Vrabel said Sharpe was close to full health and expects him to be able to play this week.

PIT - QB Ben Roethlisberger misses practice

Pittsburgh Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger (finger, coaches' decision) was held out of practice Tuesday, Nov. 6.

[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]

The Steelers play on Thursday night at home against the Carolina Panthers. Giving Roethlisberger as much rest as possible is always a great idea. He should play in Week 10 and is a QB1 for Fantasy GMs anytime he's out there.

PIT - WR Antonio Brown limited Tuesday

Pittsburgh Steelers WR Antonio Brown (coaches' decision) was limited in practice Tuesday, Nov. 6.

[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]

The Steelers have a short week as they play against the Panthers on Thursday night. They'll limit Brown on Tuesday and we think he might actually be limited Wednesday too. Either way, Brown is on track to play and locked into Fantasy GMs lineups as a WR1.

GB - WR Geronimo Allison goes to IR

Green Bay Packers WR Geronimo Allison (core) was placed on the Reserve/Injured list Tuesday, Nov. 6.

[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]

In five games this year, Allison flashed some potential with 20 catches for 303 yards and two touchdowns. He'll now undergo core surgery and wait to see what his future holds with the team as he's an ERFA in 2019. The Packers move forward with rookie Marquez Valdes-Scantling getting the largest boost with Allison on IR.

SF - Nick Mullens starting Week 10

San Francisco 49ers QB Nick Mullens was informed by head coach Kyle Shanahan that he will remain the starter this week.

[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]

That makes two weeks in a row for Mullens as the team's starter. Last time out, Mullens had three touchdown passes and caused quite a stir in the fantasy community. This week we can recommend Mullens as a QB2 or streaming option. The 49ers play on Monday night against the Giants.

CAR - TE Greg Olsen still limited

Carolina Panthers TE Greg Olsen (foot) was limited in practice Tuesday, Nov. 6.

[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]

Olsen is going to be limited all season long in practice with this foot injury. He'll especially be limited this week in practice as the Panthers have a short week. They travel to play the Steelers on the road this Thursday night in Week 10.

DET - Detroit brings back RB Zach Zenner

Free-agent RB Zach Zenner (Lions) was re-signed by the Detroit Lions Tuesday, Nov. 6.

[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]

Zenner had a back injury that prevented him from making the 53-man roster for the Lions earlier this season. He'll bring some value to special teams but shouldn't touch the ball much on offense.

DET - Detroit adds WR Bruce Ellington

Source: NFL Network - Ian Rapoport

Free-agent WR Bruce Ellington (Texans) was signed to an undisclosed deal by the Detroit Lions Tuesday, Nov. 6. RB Ameer Abdullah was waived in a corresponding move.

[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]

The Lions are looking for help at the no3 wide receiver position. They traded away Golden Tate (Eagles) last week and didn't get much production from T.J. Jones on Sunday. We'll see if Ellington, coming off a career high 29 catches for the Texans in 2017, can work his way into the mix behind starters Marvin Jones Jr. and Kenny Golladay.

NO - WR Michael Thomas excelling as top target

Source: Pro Football Focus

New Orleans Saints WR Michael Thomas has been targeted by QB Drew Brees on 29.6 percent of his passing attempts this season entering Week 10, the highest target percentage any receiver Brees has thrown to since arriving in New Orleans in 2006.

[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]

Thomas has caught 88.6 percent of his targets, ranking first among receivers with at least 15 targets this season. Fantasy GMs are locking him every week.

NE - RB Sony Michel likely to return Week 10

New England Patriots RB Sony Michel (knee) is likely to return in Week 10, a source said Monday, Nov. 5.

[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]

That means Cordarrelle Patterson will get less work in the backfield as a running back. Michel will first need a good week of practice participation. Keep an eye on his status as the Patriots prepare for a road game to play the Titans in week 10.

NYG - Kyle Lauletta avoids suspension

New York Giants QB Kyle Lauletta will not be suspended for his Oct. 30 arrest in a traffic incident, head coach Pat Shurmur said Tuesday, Nov. 6.

[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]

Shurmur said he has spoken to Lauletta numerous times since the event, and the quarterback is facing 'internal consequences.'

NYG - QB Eli Manning remains N.Y. starter

New York Giants QB Eli Manning will start in Week 10 against the San Francisco 49ers, head coach Pat Shurmur said Tuesday, Nov. 6.

[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]

Shurmur insisted that Manning was going to start in Week 10...but beyond that his future remains unclear. The Giants will likely be moving on from Manning this offseason so at some point they'll want to see what they have in rookie Kyle Lauletta.

DAL - QB Dak Prescott endorsed by Jerry Jones

Source: Fort Worth Star-Telegram - Clarence E. Hill Jr.

Dallas Cowboys QB Dak Prescott was endorsed as the quarterback by owner Jerry Jones. '(Prescott) is young, and he is going to get extended,' Jones said.

[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]

Ah, the dreaded vote of confidence. The Cowboys have to support Prescott because they don't have any other option to turn to. They need to build confidence with their young starter and get back on the winning track. That might have to happen with a different coaching staff in 2019.

NE - QB Tom Brady intends to play in 2022

Source: NBC Sports - Peter King

New England Patriots QB Tom Brady told NBCSports's Peter King after the game Sunday, Nov. 4, he fully intends to be playing in 2022, which is the next time he would face the Green Bay Packers in the regular season.

[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]

That sounds a bit extreme, but with Brady you just never know. Brady is 41-years old right now and in the 2022 season he would be 45 years old. The Patriots are in another Super Bowl window and the Packers playoff chances are up in the air this season. A Brady vs Rodgers matchup would be great in the Super Bowl but it doesn't seem like that's a possibility based on the way Green Bay is playing.

MIA - QB Ryan Tannehill injury update

Source: ESPN.com - Cameron Wolfe

Miami Dolphins QB Ryan Tannehill (shoulder) has been 'inconsistent' throwing with trainers, according to head coach Adam Gase, who added that some throws have been good while others he feels discomfort.

[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]

The hope was to get him back after the bye week but now that doesn't sound like a guarantee either. In the meantime, the Dolphins can always continue rolling out Brock Osweiler as their starter while Tannehill remains out.

Thursday Update

NO - WR Dez Bryant agrees with Saints

Source: NFL Network - Ian Rapoport

Free-agent WR Dez Bryant (Cowboys) agreed to a one-year deal with the New Orleans Saints Wednesday, Nov. 7. Financial terms weren't disclosed.

[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]

Bryant has been out of action all season long as he was looking for the right landing spot. He gets that with a great opportunity in New Orleans. His signing is bad news for rookie Tre'Quan Smith. We should see Smith's targets go down when Bryant is up to speed. Bryant could produce like a WR3 or flex option with upside for Fantasy GMs.

NYJ - QB Sam Darnold ruled out

Source: New York Daily News - Manish Mehta

Updating a previous report, New York Jets QB Sam Darnold (foot) is dealing with a 'significant' foot sprain and will not play this week, according to sources.

[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]

It's said to be 'significant' but with a couple of weeks off we could see Darnold back in action. Josh McCown is the team's starter with Darnold out.

SEA - WR Doug Baldwin limited Wednesday

Seattle Seahawks WR Doug Baldwin (groin) was limited in practice Wednesday, Nov. 7.

[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]

This is a new issue for Baldwin. He's dealt with knee problems this year but this groin injury is something to monitor. Check back to make sure he's at least limited on Friday.

OAK - RB Doug Martin a limited participant

Oakland Raiders RB Doug Martin (hip) was limited during practice Wednesday, Nov. 7.

[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]

Martin is the lead back for the Raiders and has RB2 or flex appeal in Week 10 against the Chargers.

TB - RB Peyton Barber limited Wednesday

Tampa Bay Buccaneers RB Peyton Barber (ankle) was limited in practice Wednesday, Nov. 7.

[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]

At home against Washington this week, Barber has flex appeal for Fantasy GMs. Make sure he practices later in the week as he deals with this ankle injury.

WAS - Limited practice for TE Jordan Reed

Washington Redskins TE Jordan Reed (back) was limited during practice Wednesday, Nov. 7.

[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]

After getting targeted 12 times in Week 8, Reed only saw six targets come his way last week. It seems like Alex Smith preferred going after Vernon Davis instead of Reed. With Paul Richardson done for the year, Washington could distribute targets differently this week on the road against the Buccaneers. Reed is still a TE1 for Fantasy GMs.

WAS - RB Adrian Peterson listed as limited

Washington Redskins RB Adrian Peterson (shoulder) was limited during practice Wednesday, Nov. 7.

[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]

Peterson has been limited with this shoulder injury for some time. He's a low-end RB1 against the Buccaneers in Week 10.

NE - RB Sony Michel does limited work

Source: Patriots.com

New England Patriots RB Sony Michel (knee) went through a limited practice session Wednesday, Nov. 7.

[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]

Michel should be back on the field for the Patriots this week. If he does return to play against the Titans in Week 10, that means WR Cordarrelle Patterson would get less work out of the backfield as a runner.

NE - TE Rob Gronkowski works on limited basis

New England Patriots TE Rob Gronkowski (ankle, back) practiced on a limited basis Wednesday, Nov. 7.

[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]

Gronkowski's status is not yet clear. Fantasy GMs are nervous about starting him...and for good reason. Check back on his status to see what he can do on Friday.

NE - WR Julian Edelman does limited work

New England Patriots WR Julian Edelman (ankle) was listed as a limited participant in practice Wednesday, Nov. 7.

[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]

Check back to see what Edelman can do at Friday's practice. Against the Titans in Week 10, Edelman is a WR2 for Fantasy GMs.

Kansas City Chiefs WR Tyreek Hill (groin) was a full practice participant Wednesday, Nov. 7.

Hill should go off against the Cardinals this week. This full participation on Wednesday shows that he's on track to play.

CIN - RB Giovani Bernard limited in practice

Cincinnati Bengals RB Giovani Bernard (knee) was listed as a limited participant in practice Wednesday, Nov. 7.

[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]

The Bengals might get Bernard involved more as a receiver if he can play in Week 10. They're down WR A.J. Green for quite some time and they'll be searching for other pass-catching options. Bernard might be worth a 'what the heck' flex against the Saints.

NO - WR Cameron Meredith misses practice

New Orleans Saints WR Cameron Meredith (knee) did not practice Wednesday, Nov. 7.

[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]

There's a reason why the Saints added Dez Bryant. They don't have much behind Michael Thomas other than rookie Tre'Quan Smith. Meredith has been a disappointment with the Saints this year.

JAX - Full practice for RB Leonard Fournette

Jacksonville Jaguars RB Leonard Fournette (hamstring) took part in a full practice session Wednesday, Nov. 7.

[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]

Fournette should be back for the Jaguars this week. That means he's in your lineup as a RB2 with upside. The Jaguars travel to play the Colts in Week 10.

MIN - Minnesota claims RB Ameer Abdullah

The Minnesota Vikings claimed RB Ameer Abdullah off waivers from the Detroit Lions Wednesday, Nov. 7.

[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]

The Vikings add Abdullah and let go of Roc Thomas in a corresponding move. Abdullah failed to impress with the Lions after they took him in the second round of the 2015 NFL draft. He'll serve as a change-of-pace back and veteran depth behind Dalvin Cook and Latavius Murray.

BUF - WR Kelvin Benjamin limited Wednesday

Buffalo Bills WR Kelvin Benjamin (knee) was limited in practice Wednesday, Nov. 7.

[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]

We can't trust Benjamin as anything more than a WR5 or deep flex play in Week 10. The Bills travel to play the Jets this week and they've got Derek Anderson as their starting quarterback.

CAR - TE Greg Olsen fully practices

Carolina Panthers TE Greg Olsen (foot) practiced fully Wednesday, Nov. 7.

[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]

On a short week, Olsen is good to go. The tight end position is brutal this year so consider yourself fortunate to be able to start Olsen as a TE1 every week.

Pittsburgh Steelers WR Antonio Brown (coaches' decision) practiced on a limited basis Wednesday, Nov. 7.

[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]

Pittsburgh Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger (finger) put in a full practice Wednesday, Nov. 7.

Kansas City Chiefs WR Sammy Watkins (foot) was not able to practice Wednesday, Nov. 7.

[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]

Keep an eye on Watkins status during the week. The Chiefs play the Cardinals in Week 10 and Watkins would certainly have plenty of fantasy value if he is out there. If not, then Chris Conley or Demarcus Robinson could produce like crazy deep 'what the heck' flex options.

PHI - RB Darren Sproles expected back

Updating an earlier report, Philadelphia Eagles RB Darren Sproles (hamstring) is expected to return in Week 10, according to head coach Doug Pederson.

[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]

Sproles has only played in one game this year, but he looks to finally be on track to return from this hamstring injury. The veteran will likely get on the field as the primary third-down back for the Eagles and that gives him RB3 or flex value for Fantasy GMs in PPR leagues.

The NFL is a circus, how can they allow Le'Veon Bell to miss 9 weeks? They should be a clause that allows a player to decline a franchise tag and seek a better contract elsewhere instead of this madness... And the funny thing is that the players don't realize he's doing the right thing and only think of 'team' when there's no team in contract negotiations

Fournette is on track to play this week for the first time since Week 4. Fantasy GMs should consider him a RB2 with upside this week against the Colts.

NO - WR Dez Bryant's Saints debut up in air

Source: NFL.com - Herbie Teope

New Orleans Saints WR Dez Bryant has begun work with his new team after signing Tuesday, Nov. 6, but head coach Sean Payton declined to commit to Bryant playing in Week 10. 'We'll see,' Payton said on a media conference call Thursday, Nov. 8. 'It would be hard for me to comment not having had a practice yet. But we'll take a peek and see how he does today and tomorrow, and then we'll fill you in Sunday.'

[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]

Bryant would be a boom/bust WR3/Flex if he does play, but Cameron Meredith was not getting much in the way of targets or snaps in the role and Bryant would be eased in with his conditioning and familiarity with his role unknown.

PIT - More on Le'Veon Bell situation

Source: NFL Network - Aditi Kinkhabwala and Tom Pelissero

Updating previous reports, Pittsburgh Steelers RB Le'Veon Bell would be franchise tagged at the quarterback level, around $25 million in 2019, not at the lower number he was tagged at in 2018, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero. 'I've been told by both league and team sources that neither the NFL nor the Steelers have any plan to argue that the second tag should carry over, should Bell not play this year,' NFL Network's Aditi Kinkhabwala reported. 'They are all in agreement that any potential tag would be the third (or the transition).'

[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]

It sure feels like both sides are trying to find a way out while saving face and not disrupting their plans. James Conner teams should be elated at this news although Bell is in Pittsburgh, so it's hard to say what will happen next. Conner will likely remain fantasy relevant no matter what happens with Bell.

Green Bay Packers WR Randall Cobb (hamstring) was limited during practice Thursday, Nov. 8.

Cleveland Browns WR Jarvis Landry (wrist) fully participated in practice Thursday, Nov. 8.

Detroit Lions RB Kerryon Johnson (ankle) was limited during practice Thursday, Nov. 8.

[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]

The Lions are giving Johnson as much rest as possible during the week. He should be able to play against the Bears and they should use him more for multiple reasons. He's only gotten more than 12 carries twice in a game this year and both times he rushed for over 100 yards. Being committed to the run could also help protect QB Matthew Stafford who was sacked 10 times last week.

Burkhead is worth the add in deep leagues and this could throw a monkeywrench into James White and Sony Michel's value for the fantasy playoffs. It sounds like Burkhead should be ready to go in a few weeks.

Kansas City Chiefs WR Sammy Watkins (foot) will miss a second straight day of practice Thursday, Nov. 8, as he deals with a foot injury.

Watkins is probably not going to play this weekend with a titanic tilt against the Rams up next week and a bye after that. We'll watch the play and involvement of Chris Conley and Demarcus Robinson to see who is worth the pickup if this becomes a bigger issue for Watkins.

Buffalo Bills QB Derek Anderson (concussion) was working off to the side with team trainers during practice Thursday, Nov. 8.

Josh Allen might be closer to playing than Anderson this week. The Jets defense is probably a better play if Allen is in, but Anderson has also been generous when facing deficits.

Philadelphia Eagles RB Darren Sproles (hamstring) aggravated his hamstring injury Wednesday, Nov. 7, and he's expected to miss Week 10.

This clarifies the Eagles backfield to an extent, but none of Josh Adams, Corey Clement, and Wendell Smallwood are more than desperation plays entering Week 10.

NO - WR Cameron Meredith to IR

New Orleans Saints WR Cameron Meredith (knee) was placed on the Reserve/Injured list Thursday, Nov. 8, as he is having arthroscopic surgery.

[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]

Dez Bryant should take over the slot role with Meredith on injured reserve, but he will have to score touchdowns to be relevant in fantasy leagues. The Bears reluctance to commit money to Meredith in the offseason looks wise in light of this development.

Ravens | Joe Flacco could be sidelined with hip injury
Baltimore Ravens QB Joe Flacco (hip) suffered a hip injury in Week 9 against the Pittsburgh Steelers that has put his status 'in question' for Week 11 versus the Cincinnati Bengals.

Footballguys view: It's not 100% that Lamar Jackson would be the starter according to reports, but it is 100% that he should be picked up in all leagues. We haven't seen a quarterback with his running ability since Michael Vick and the Ravens face a lineup of weak pass defenses after the bye.

Sunday Update

PIT - Le'Veon Bell unlikely to report

Pittsburgh Steelers RB Le'Veon Bell is unlikely to report by the deadline Tuesday, Nov. 13, according to multiple sources, which would make him ineligible to play for the remainder of the season.

[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]

Make sure to read this for what it is - multiple sources are telling ESPN and Adam Schefter they don't expect Bell to report by Tuesday. The story in the link specifically says however Bell's camp has been silent on this. Adam Schefter is the most reliable reporter in the NFL in our opinion. But understand this is not official yet. With that said, James Conner's value has never been higher. And Le'Veon Bell's value has never been lower this year. Backup RB Jalyen Samuels would also benefit of course if Bell doesn't report on time.

New England Patriots TE Rob Gronkowski (ankle, back) is traveling with the team for their Week 10 game, according to a source.

Updating a previous report, San Francisco 49ers TE George Kittle (chest) was limited in practice Saturday, Nov. 10.

[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]

Kittle has been limited with this chest injury all week. He'll likely play on Monday night against the Giants and is a TE1 for Fantasy GMs whenever he's on the field.

Buffalo Bills QB Josh Allen (elbow) has been ruled out of the Week 10 game.

San Francisco 49ers WR Pierre Garcon (knee) is not participating in practice Saturday, Nov. 10.

[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]

It looks like Garcon is going to miss the Monday night game against the Giants. Fantasy GMs were not looking forward to starting him anyway, so his absence isn't going to change many lineups out there.

Washington Redskins WR Jamison Crowder (ankle) has been ruled out of the team's Week 10 game.

[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]

Without Crowder, we'll see Maurice Harris get quite a bit of work from the slot. He's a WR3 or flex play with upside against the Buccaneers in Week 10.

NO - WR Dez Bryant to miss eight months

New Orleans Saints WR Dez Bryant's (Achilles) MRI confirmed a torn Achilles' tendon, and he is expected to be sidelined for around eight months, according to a source.

[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]

This means Bryant will be ready by training camp next year. He signed only a one-year deal with the Saints so we'll have to see if he can generate interest next offseason on the open market...while recovering from an Achilles' injury at 30-years old.

Against the Titans on Sunday we'll likely see the Patriots without Gronkowski again. They have a bye in Week 11, so that would give Gronkowski an extra bit of rest if he doesn't play this week. He did travel with the team and hasn't officially been ruled out but all signs indicate he's not going to play.

New York Jets QB Josh McCown will start Week 10's game against the Buffalo Bills.

No surprise here. Rookie Sam Darnold has a foot injury that needs to get some rest in order to heal up. The Jets may have Darnold as McCown's backup this week as they only have two active quarterbacks on the roster. They do have Davis Webb on their practice squad but there's no word if they'd activate him to play as a backup or not.

[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]

Fournette's wasn't efficient as a runner, mostly because of the Colts effort on defense. He showed good burst and strength and should be treated as a low RB1 against Pittsburgh next week.

Bortles is pulling us back into considering him as a streamer with this performance. He benefited from a Donte Moncrief big play and Leonard Fournette's contributions as a receiver. He has some superflex/QB2 appeal against the Steelers next week.

NE - WR Julian Edelman hits century mark

New England Patriots WR Julian Edelman (ankle) registered nine receptions for 104 yards on 12 targets in the Week 10 game against the Tennessee Titans, but he left the game late with an ankle injury.

New England Patriots RB Sony Michel rushed 11 times for a team-best 31 yards in Week 10 against the Tennessee Titans and he didn't have any catches or targets.

Los Angeles Rams WR Cooper Kupp (knee) left the Week 10 game against the Seattle Seahawks due to a non-contact knee injury. He was assisted by a member of the training staff to the sideline, then to the locker room.

Kupp's injury looked serious. It seems almost impossible that he would be back for next week's game and it would be a win if he isn't out for the season. Gerald Everett, Tyler Higbee and Josh Reynolds all have some waiver wire appeal now.

McCoy looked like a young back running the ball. Who knows if he can look like this again after the bye, but it's clear that the Bills are still going to have those occasional strong performances and maybe even fuel a big day for McCoy. He's worth rostering through the bye to see if this can continue.

Cleveland Browns WR Jarvis Landry caught two passes for 22 yards against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 10.

New Orleans Saints WR Michael Thomas registered game highs with eight catches, 70 yards and two touchdowns in the Week 10 win against the Cincinnati Bengals.

Ingram was strong early in the passing game with a near walk-in touchdown and strong later in the running game as the Saints put it away with a lot of time to spare. He'll be a solid RB2 despite the tough matchup against the Eagles next week.
