Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown (ribs) was limited in practice for the second straight day on Thursday. The 27-year-old was limited throughout the week leading up to Detroit's Week 9 matchup against the Miami Dolphins and was able to play, so he could be on a similar track going into the Lions' Week 10 showdown with the New England Patriots. Still, St. Brown seems likely to head into the weekend with an injury designation. Across eight games in 2026, the star wideout has recorded 61 catches for 657 yards and five touchdowns on 86 targets. St. Brown has seen his production dip a little bit lately, as he's been held under 90 receiving yards in five of his last six games and has not logged a touchdown catch since Week 3. However, St. Brown remains the clear number one option in the Lions' passing game, recording at least eight targets in every game so far this season. If active, he profiles as a must-start wide receiver for fantasy managers in Week 10.--Will Brady

Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff (chest) was upgraded to full participation in practice on Thursday. The veteran quarterback was limited on Wednesday by a chest injury, but it appears he is trending toward being active for Detroit's Week 10 matchup against the New England Patriots in Munich. Goff has struggled a bit lately, recording back-to-back games with fewer than 180 passing yards and an interception. However, the 32-year-old's numbers for the year remain strong, as he's completed 67.8% of his pass attempts for 2,138 yards, 15 touchdowns, and two interceptions across eight games. As long as he's active against New England, Goff profiles as a low-end top-12 quarterback option for fantasy managers in Week 10.--Will Brady

San Francisco 49ers veteran wide receiver Mike Evans (Achilles, ribs) was not seen at the portion of practice open to the media on Thursday, according to Nick Wagoner of ESPN. Evans also missed practice on Wednesday and is shaping up as doubtful to return for the team's Week 10 road matchup this Sunday against the Dallas Cowboys. The 33-year-old future Hall of Famer has not played since the win over the Washington Commanders on Monday night on Oct. 19 due to Achilles soreness and a couple of cracked ribs. He has seemingly been battling injuries since training camp this summer, and the Niners' priority is to have Evans near full strength at the end of the season and into the playoffs. With Deebo Samuel Sr. (hamstring) on the mend as well, the 49ers acquired veteran wideout Keenan Allen from the Indianapolis Colts at Tuesday's trade deadline, and he could immediately become the team's WR1 if Evans misses another game this weekend. Evans, a six-time Pro Bowler, has been productive in six games played in his first year in the Bay Area, catching 27 of 39 targets for 420 yards and three touchdowns, but he has become an extreme injury risk and will have more competition for targets in the second half with the Niners getting healthier and the presence of Allen. A more realistic return date for Evans is in Week 11 against the Minnesota Vikings.--Keith Hernandez

New England Patriots wide receiver A.J. Brown (ankle, knee) was limited in practice on Thursday, per Doug Kyed of the Boston Herald. Brown has missed most of the 2026 season due to injury, including New England's last two games. However, it appears the veteran wideout has a chance to return to the field in the Patriots' Week 10 matchup against the Detroit Lions. Upon his return, Brown profiles as the clear number one option in the New England passing game for Patriots quarterback Drake Maye. The 29-year-old would also have a favorable matchup in Week 10 against the Detroit Lions, who have struggled to defend the pass and could be without top cornerback D.J. Reed (hip). If active, Brown can be viewed as a solid WR3 option for fantasy managers in Week 10.--Will Brady

New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson (knee) was upgraded to a limited participant in practice on Thursday, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. Stevenson suffered a knee injury in Sunday's Week 9 loss to the Green Bay Packers that was expected to sideline him for a couple of weeks. He did not practice on Wednesday, but he returned to the field on Thursday and is reportedly trying to play on Sunday in Munich, Germany, against the Detroit Lions. TreVeyon Henderson (illness) has already been ruled out for a third straight game, so if Stevenson is not cleared to suit up this weekend, the Patriots will be down to Corey Kiner as the leader of their backfield against Detroit. Stevenson will likely need to upgrade to a full practice on Friday to avoid a questionable tag going into the weekend, and as of now, fantasy managers should not be getting their hopes up that he will play in Week 10 and command his typical snap share in the Patriots' backfield. The 28-year-old has been New England's clear backfield leader in 2026 with Henderson's struggles and injuries, carrying the ball 102 times for 399 yards (3.9 yards per attempt) and two touchdowns while adding 26 catches for 258 yards and two more scores on 31 targets across nine games. If Stevenson defies the odds and plays against Detroit, he will be more of an RB3/flex at risk of losing valuable snaps and touches to Kiner.--Keith Hernandez

Tennessee Titans running back Tyjae Spears (knee) returned to practice in a limited capacity on Thursday, per Titans beat writer Paul Kuharsky. Spears has been sidelined since Week 6 by a knee injury, but it appears he could have a chance to return in Week 10 against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Across six games in 2026, Spears has recorded 141 scrimmage yards on 33 touches. The 25-year-old's fantasy upside is very limited due to the presence of Titans RB1 Tony Pollard. However, if Spears can play against Jacksonville, Pollard would likely see less work as a pass-catcher out of the backfield.--Will Brady

Charlotte Hornets forward/center Grant Williams (hamstring) is set to make his regular-season debut Thursday against the Phoenix Suns. Williams has been sidelined with a right hamstring injury sustained during offseason on-court activity. He averaged 7.0 points, 3.9 rebounds, and 1.6 assists in 19.8 minutes across 36 games last season while shooting 38.8 percent from three-point range. Williams offers limited fantasy value and is best left on the waiver wire in most leagues as he works his way back into the rotation.--Andrew Lennox

Tennessee Titans rookie first-round wide receiver Carnell Tate (shoulder) was listed as a non-participant in practice for the second straight day on Thursday. Tate was seen working off to the side on Thursday, but he has yet to practice this week with the rest of the team as the Titans come off their bye to face the division-rival Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 10. If the 21-year-old fourth overall pick from Ohio State does not return to practice in some capacity on Friday, he could be ruled out for the second straight game. If Tate misses another game, Wan'Dale Robinson, Calvin Ridley, and Elic Ayomanor would operate in three-wide sets again for Tennessee as they look to pull off the upset on the Jaguars at home. Tate has quickly become the most valuable receiver on the Titans in fantasy in his first year in the NFL, catching 34 of his 51 targets for 413 yards and one touchdown in his first seven games played, but he looks to be on the wrong side of questionable in Week 10, and fantasy managers should not bank on him returning to action this weekend to face Jacksonville. Check back on Friday to see if the young pass-catcher can return to practice.--Keith Hernandez

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Xavier Legette (knee) practiced in full Thursday, Sheena Quick reported. Legette last played in Week 2 at Atlanta, when he caught two passes for 64 yards and hurt his knee at the end of a 55-yard catch. Carolina opened his return window Wednesday and estimated him as a full participant for its walkthrough. He remains on injured reserve as the Panthers prepare for Sunday's game against the New Orleans Saints. Offensive coordinator Brad Idzik said Thursday that sending Legette downfield is the easiest way to work him back into the offense. Idzik also said Legette will have to earn his snaps after John Metchie III and Brycen Tremayne contributed in his absence. Metchie has 14 catches for 154 yards and a touchdown, and Tremayne has picked up a first down on all seven of his receptions. Tetairoa McMillan and Jalen Coker each played at least 80% of the offensive snaps against Denver, so Legette can stay on waivers in 12-team leagues until he starts seeing regular targets.--Bruno Mulé

Carolina Panthers running back Jonathon Brooks (groin) completed a full practice Thursday, according to Sheena Quick. The Panthers opened his return window Wednesday and listed him as a full participant on their estimated report after a walkthrough. Brooks remains on injured reserve ahead of Sunday's game against the New Orleans Saints. He has missed six games since aggravating the injury at Atlanta in Week 2 and undergoing core muscle surgery. Brooks can stay on fantasy benches if Carolina activates him for Week 10. Chuba Hubbard returned to full practice Thursday after resting Wednesday. He played 89% of the offensive snaps against Denver and has handled 49 touches over the past two games, including 11 catches. Trevor Etienne had two carries on seven offensive snaps against the Broncos and is listed as Carolina's lead punt returner this week. Brooks ran nine times for 30 yards in two games before going on injured reserve. His 48-yard catch on a deep pass from Bryce Young in the opener against Chicago accounted for most of his 73 yards from scrimmage.--Bruno Mulé
