    NFL Player News - Week 10

    CAR - QB Cam Newton to IR

    Source: NFL Network - Ian Rapoport


    Carolina Panthers QB Cam Newton (foot) was placed on the Reserve/Injured list Tuesday, Nov. 5, which will end his season.


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


    Newton's Lisfranc injury was not getting better as the season wore on. He met with foot specialist Dr. Robert Anderson last week and didn't receive good news on his recovery. Kyle Allen continues as the starter for the team, and we may have seen the last of Newton in Carolina. He's owed a non-guaranteed $19.1 million in 2020.

    JAX - QB Nick Foles to start

    Jacksonville Jaguars QB Nick Foles (collarbone) will return as the starter after the Week 10 bye.


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


    Foles is healthy and ready to go against a huge divisional game in Week 11 against the Colts. He's got a big contract and it was only a matter of time, regardless of the hype around Gardner Minshew. The Jaguars are in win-now mode as they try to make a playoff push.

    Philadelphia Eagles WR DeSean Jackson (abdomen) was officially placed on the Reserve/Injured list Tuesday, Nov. 5.


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


    Jackson's season is over and it's disappointing as he barely saw the field in 2019. Under contract through the 2020 season, the Eagles could really use his deep speed on offense next year.

    Minnesota Vikings WR Adam Thielen (hamstring) is unlikely to play against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 10, according to a source.


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


    Thielen aggravated his hamstring injury in Week 9 and will already be declared out (according to this report) for Week 10. The team needs to be cautious with their star receiver, especially with a Week 12 bye coming up.

    Indianapolis Colts QB Jacoby Brissett (knee) said his knee is feeling better, and he remains optimistic about his chances to play against the Miami Dolphins in Week 10.


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


    It's the Dolphins, so the Colts don't need to rush Brissett out there. They could easily win against Miami if Brian Hoyer was in at quarterback. We'll know more about Brissett's availability later in the week.

    Fuller might be out there on your waiver wire if somebody was frustrated by his injury and let him go. His return would give another big-play weapon for QB Deshaun Watson.

    Snell hasn't played since Week 8 due to this knee injury. Jaylen Samuels and Trey Edmunds got most of the work in Week 9 against the Colts. Mike Tomlin is optimistic that James Conner will be back in Week 10. Watch the practice status for the Steelers backfield during the week.

    Good news for the Jets here...and for Fantasy GMs who took a chance on Bell this year. Bell had an MRI on Monday and the results were quite positive. He's getting a sizable workload but Bell has only performed like a low-end RB2 each week. We'll see if more production comes along with further playing time.

    Johnson is poised to return in Week 10, and the expectation is that he'll be on the field with Kenyan Drake a lot, including snaps at receiver. He should be back in your lineup, especially in PPR leagues.

    Washington Redskins QB Dwayne Haskins is expected to be the starting quarterback for the team's Week 11 game, according to sources.


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


    The team is going forward with Haskins as the starter, which at least will give the next head coach some more pro film to evaluate his strengths and weakness and craft a scheme and surroundings to suit him. It won't be great for his college teammate Terry McLaurin despite their experience together, because Haskins hasn't proven to be as effective a passer in the NFL (yet) as Case Keenum.

    Green received treatment during practice and is considered day-to-day. We'll see if that means he's going to practice later in the week and play for the first time this year in Week 10. With rookie Ryan Finley starting at QB, it would greatly help the offense if Green was out there.

    That means it's time for Jaylen Samuels again. We know QB Mason Rudolph is going to check down to Samuels all day, but perhaps the team uses him as a runner more. That also means the Steelers should use Trey Edmunds in a RBBC with Samuels.

    Alright, Fantasy GMs can make other plans if they were excited about getting Green back this week. The Bengals roll forward with Tyler Boyd as their top receiver like he's been all year long. It will be interesting to see how rookie QB Ryan Finley performs in his first ever start on Sunday.

    Great news for Fantasy GMs here. Kamara has missed a couple of games due to this injury, but he's back as a RB1 against the Falcons on Sunday. Expect to see Latavius Murray maintain a RB3/flex value even though Kamara is back in action.

    It should be a return to the Kamara/Ingram split with Latavius Murray playing so well in recent weeks while Kamara was out. Kamara's ceiling comes down a little bit, but his likelihood of re-injury does too, while Murray is a solid flex and bye RB2 play this week in a great matchup

    Kittle being doubtful for me sucks because I can't replace him since my league has a waiver has a waiver draft every 3 weeks and my backup TE has a bye week this week. Hopefully this doesn't cost me but it could end up biting me since I'll be down a man.

    Yuck, I would never join a league that did not have weekly pick-ups. One of my biggest joys in fantasy is working the waiver wire, I would be rather bored if did not have the ability to make weekly moves.

    Fortunately, it's a 1:00 PM ET kickoff so we should have plenty of good info in the morning. Just keep an eye on Stafford's game status if you're planning on playing him. If he plays, Stafford should perform like a low-end QB1 for Fantasy GMs in Week 10.

    The Bears forgot to run earlier in the season, but they've featured plenty of Montgomery in recent weeks. That's a good thing for the talented rookie...and it's good for their offense as they can't rely on QB Mitchell Trubisky to do much of anything.

    Lions’ QB Matthew Stafford has fractured bones in his back and doctors will not let him play today vs. Bears, per source. Jeff Driskell starts for Detroit.

    Stacking Saints today will pay off against the pathetic non-existent Falcons defense.

    Monday Update

    CHI - RB David Montgomery runs for 60 yards

    Source: ESPN


    Chicago Bears RB David Montgomery rushed 17 times for 60 yards in Week 10 against the Detroit Lions and he did not have any receptions or targets.


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


    The Bears controlled this game, but Montgomery was still held to a marginal fantasy day because he didn't score or get involved in the passing game. He's a low ceiling option at the Rams next week.

    CHI - QB Mitchell Trubisky tosses three TDs

    Source: ESPN


    Chicago Bears QB Mitchell Trubisky completed 16-of-23 passes for 173 yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions in Week 10 against the Detroit Lions.


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


    Trubisky got hot in the second half and the win probably staves off calls for his job for at least a few more weeks. He's not trustworthy in fantasy leagues against the Rams on the road next week.

    New York Jets WR Jamison Crowder caught five passes for 81 yards and one touchdown against the New York Giants in Week 10. He was targeted six times during the game.


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


    Crowder was strong early and looked shifty and fast on his receptions. He is the only consistent fantasy option in the Jets passing game heading into a matchup with his old team in Washington.

    NYJ - Le'Veon Bell find end zone

    New York Jets RB Le'Veon Bell rushed for 34 yards and one touchdown on 18 carries against the New York Giants in Week 10. He also caught four passes for 34 yards during the game.


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


    Bell isn't getting a lot of traction in the run game but he is getting volume in the passing game and the good matchup with the Giants allowed him to score. His outlook against Washington next week will be a low RB1/solid RB2 again.

    DET - QB Jeff Driskel throws for 269 yards, TD

    Source: ESPN


    Detroit Lions QB Jeff Driskel completed 27-of-46 passes for 269 yards, one touchdown and one interception in Week 10 against the Chicago Bears in place of the injured QB Matthew Stafford (back).


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


    Driskel had a good first drive and a nice improvisational throw late for a long score, but otherwise had trouble moving the offense. He'll at least support a pulse for Kenny Golladay and Marvin Jones, but the ceiling games won't be in play without Matthew Stafford.

    New York Giants WR Golden Tate caught four passes for 95 yards and two touchdowns against the New York Jets in Week 10. He was targeted eight times during the game.


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



    Tate had a 61-yard score and continues to be a key target earning his free agent contract. He's a solid WR3/Flex with upside and a good schedule in the fantasy playoffs.

    New York Giants WR Darius Slayton caught 10 passes for 121 yards and two touchdowns against the New York Jets in Week 10. He was targeted 14 times during the game.


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


    Slayton had his second two touchdown game of his rookie year in a sign of big things to come. He and Daniel Jones have excellent chemistry and Slayton should be lines after his bye next week.

    New York Giants RB Saquon Barkley rushed for one yard on 13 carries against the New York Jets in Week 10. He also caught five passes for 30 yards during the game.


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


    Barkley was frustrated all day and couldn't get going against a Jets defense missing many front seven defenders. The bye this week should be good for him.

    CLE - WR Odell Beckham Jr. targeted 12 times

    Cleveland Browns WR Odell Beckham Jr. finished with five receptions for 57 yards on 12 targets in Week 10 against the Buffalo Bills.


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


    Beckham got a target spike, including red zone targets that drew pass interference calls, but his fantasy bottom line was still mediocre. It's tough to bench him because of his reputation, but the splash plays and weeks just aren't there this year.

    Cleveland Browns WR Jarvis Landry posted nine receptions for 97 yards and a touchdown on 10 targets in Week 10 against the Buffalo Bills.


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


    Landry got the day started off well for the Browns offense and made a crucial adjustment to a pass to set up the game-winning touchdown. He is building momentum heading into a matchup with the Steelers on Thursday.

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


    Hunt was relevant in PPR leagues and worked into the offense enough to be worth a pickup if he wasn't added before this week. He'll face a tough Steelers defense on Thursday.

    Atlanta Falcons TE Austin Hooper (knee) suffered a knee injury during the Week 10 game.

    Hooper has been one of the few reliable tight end options this year. We will be watching this injury closely. If Hooper is out next week, Russell Gage could be a more important target against Carolina next week.

    New Orleans Saints WR Michael Thomas caught 13 passes for 152 yards against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 10. He was targeted 14 times during the game.


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


    Thomas is on track to break Marvin Harrison's record for receptions in a season and he converting targets into catches at an astounding rate. He should have another ceiling game against the Bucs next week.

    NO - Eight catches for RB Alvin Kamara

    New Orleans Saints RB Alvin Kamara caught eight passes for 50 yards against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 10. He was targeted 10 times during the game. He also rushed for 24 yards on four carries.


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


    The offense didn't look as good with Kamara as it did the last two weeks before the bye with Latavius Murray featured. Kamara is still a good enough PPR play, but this is trending towards a committee.

    Foot injuries can be season-enders and Freeman isn't known for his quick healing properties. Brian Hill is likely to get the start at Carolina next week.

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


    Mixon gave everything he had even though a good amount of his carries came when the game was out of hand. He was effective early and would be a much more valuable fantasy commodity in even an average offense. He'll be a solid RB2 play against Oakland next week.

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


    Finley had a few throws to build on, but he is clearly a rookie and work in progress. He'll get an easier assignment against Oakland next week, but we will keep expectations low.

    NFL - WR Antonio Brown unlikely to play again this year

    Source: 1 No Source


    Free-agent WR Antonio Brown (Patriots) is not expected to play in the National Football League again this season. Three teams have been in contact with him but if he were to receive an offer, the NFL would be prepared to place him on the commissioner's exempt list, according to multiple sources. This means that any team that signed Brown would have to pay him until the league's investigation into sexual assault allegations against him has concluded.


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


    Brown can be dropped in redraft leagues, but it's still a buy low moment in dynasty leagues.

    Jacksonville is up next week for the Colts, so Brian Hoyer could still have value in 2QB/Superflex leagues.
