TB - QB Jameis Winston out two weeks
Source: PewterReport.com
Confirming a previous report, Tampa Bay Buccaneers QB Jameis Winston will indeed be sidelined the next two weeks in order to heal his injured shoulder, according to head coach Dirk Koetter.
[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]
A move that was expected. Ryan W. Griffin (shoulder) will be activated from the Reserve/Injured list to back up QB Ryan Fitzpatrick. The team will also be missing WR Mike Evans for one game due to his suspension for a cheap shot on Saints CB Marshon Lattimore.

TB - WR Mike Evans suspended one game
Source: NFL Network - Ian Rapoport
Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR Mike Evans has been suspended for the Buccaneers' Week 10 contest for his involvement in an altercation Sunday, Nov. 5, versus the New Orleans Saints.
[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]
Evans went after Saints CB Marshon Lattimore with a cheap shot where he hit him in the back. The officials made a mistake not booting Evans from the game after that, but they're correcting that error with this suspension. Without Evans, we'll see more from WRs DeSean Jackson and Adam Humphries. It could also lead to more targets for TEs Cameron Brate and O.J. Howard.

Jones will be limited in practice this week. We'll know more about his playing status in Week 10 later in the week. The Falcons are at home against the Cowboys on Sunday.

TEN - RB DeMarco Murray nursing knee injury

Tennessee Titans RB DeMarco Murray (knee) appears to be passed his shoulder and hamstring issues, but head coach Mike Mularkey told reporters the veteran running back is now dealing with a knee injury.
[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]
His nine carries for 19 yards against the Ravens in Week 9 were a season low. We should see him limited in practice during the week. Murray's Week 10 status is not known at this time. Derrick Henry would be in line for a larger role at home against the Bengals if Murray can't play.

DAL - RB Ezekiel Elliott hearing scheduled for Thursday

Dallas Cowboys RB Ezekiel Elliott's hearing with the Second Circuit Court of Appeals is scheduled for Thursday afternoon. Per the Dallas Morning News' Kate Hairopoulos, Elliott can practice and play with the Cowboys until the three-judge committee rules since the stay he received last week did not have an end date.
[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]
It seems like Elliott is on a week-to-week basis with these legal proceedings. There is no end date for the temporary stay that was handed down last week.

Houston Texans QB Tom Savage is expected to start Week 10 against the Los Angeles Rams, according to head coach Bill O'Brien.

Savage doesn't do anything to inspire confidence, but the Texans don't really have a better option. If he continues to struggle then perhaps we'd eventually see T.J. Yates or Matt McGloin.

CIN - No suspension for WR A.J. Green

Cincinnati Bengals WR A.J. Green will not be suspended for his involvement in an altercation with Jacksonville Jaguars CB Jalen Ramsey in Week 9.
[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]
It's unbelievable that Green didn't get suspended for his altercation with Ramsey. He threw more than one punch at the young CB and Green also body slammed him from around the neck two times. Green will be on the field against the Titans in Week 10 and of course should be considered a WR1 for fantasy owners.

Dallas Cowboys WR Dez Bryant (knee, ankle) is considered day-to-day as he deals with knee and ankle injuries, according to head coach Jason Garrett.
[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]
All fantasy owners need to add WR Terrance Williams if he's on the waiver wire. We could see a larger role for WRs like Williams and Cole Beasley if Bryant misses time or isn't quite himself when he does play. Garrett doesn't believe Bryant's knee injury is serious.

DEN - QB Brock Osweiler to start again

Denver Broncos QB Brock Osweiler will be the starting quarterback against the New England Patriots in Week 10, according to sources.
[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]
Osweiler didn't look good against the Eagles defense in Week 9, throwing two interceptions and leading the team to only one touchdown drive. He'll have a better matchup against the Patriots defense, but he's nothing more than a QB2 for fantasy owners. If he struggles again this week, expect the Broncos to turn to 2016 first-round pick Paxton Lynch at some point.

TEN - More running in QB Marcus Mariota's future?
Source: John Glennon
Tennessee Titans QB Marcus Mariota will likely be involved in more designed runs moving forward since the team feels good about his mobility. Mariota suffered a hamstring injury in Week 4 and has only carried six times for 14 scoreless yards in three games since.
[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]
That seems to make sense as the young QB gets healthier. Last year, Mariota had 59 carries for 357 yards in 15 games. His rushing ability only enhances his fantasy value.

HOU - QB Colin Kaepernick was option for HOU

Free-agent QB Colin Kaepernick (49ers) was discussed as an option after QB Deshaun Watson (knee) was lost for the season, according to head coach Bill O'Brien.
[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]
Kaepernick would be a better option than what the Texans have right now with Watson out for the year. However, the situation with him is incredibly polarizing and one that no team seems ready to take on.

Prosise could be back in action this week, but there's little fantasy value in his role as a change-of-pace back. Thomas Rawls will be the lead back for Seattle on the road against the Cardinals on Thursday night.

NYG - QB Eli Manning could yield to Smith or Webb at some point?
Source: SNY - Ralph Vacchiano
New York Giants QB Eli Manning is the Giants' starting quarterback, for now, but head coach Ben McAdoo didn't rule out the possibility of giving QB Geno Smith or QB Davis Webb a chance at some point this season. Smith came in for a couple snaps in New York's Week 9 blowout loss to the Los Angeles Rams.
[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]
Like much of the team, Manning's future in NY isn't totally clear. The Giants selected Webb in the third round of the 2017 NFL draft with an idea that he could be a developmental prospect. Webb is a 'toolsy' QB with size (6'5" 230 pounds) and arm strength, but he played in a Cal offense that didn't ask him to throw downfield much (65 percent of his completions less than 10 yards from the line of scrimmage). He's drawn comparisons to Brock Osweiler (Broncos) and Nick Foles (Eagles) by some in the scouting community.

Washington Redskins TE Vernon Davis (hand) suffered a hand contusion in Week 9, but the team is optimistic that Davis will be able to play this week.

Davis could be in for a large role if Jordan Reed misses the Week 10 game against the Vikings. Reed is day-to-day with a hamstring injury, but Washington head coach Jay Gruden says he's making progress.

Baltimore Ravens RBs Danny Woodhead (hamstring) and Terrance West (calf) will return to practice Tuesday, Nov. 7, and Wednesday, Nov. 8, before receiving four days off for the Ravens' bye week.
[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]
Fantasy owners need to take note here. Woodhead was on track for a major role with this offense before suffering this hamstring injury. He's a RB2 with upside for fantasy owners in PPR leagues. Add him now for an expected return in Week 11.

Reed is always banged up, and his fantasy owners are already used to him missing time...or just watching the injury report to check his status. We'll know more about him at the end of the week. Washington is at home to face the Vikings in Week 10.
