Patrick Mahomes Practices in Full on Thursday
Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes (elbow, knee) was listed as a full participant in practice on Thursday for the second straight day. Mahomes had an injury scare when he sprained his right elbow on a sack-fumble in the Week 9 win over the New York Jets on Sunday, but he returned to the game and has practiced fully on both Wednesday and Thursday. Receivers Rashee Rice (knee) and Xavier Worthy (hamstring) have also been practicing in full, so the 31-year-old two-time MVP signal-caller should have both of his top receivers available to face the Atlanta Falcons on the road this weekend, in addition to new trade acquisition Josh Downs, who was acquired at Tuesday's trade deadline from the Indianapolis Colts. With another weapon and a strong matchup upcoming, Mahomes should be on the QB1 radar in fantasy football after two straight strong outings as a passer against the Jets and division-rival Denver Broncos. Mahomes has thrown for 563 yards and five touchdowns without an interception in the last two weeks, and he is RotoBaller's No. 9 fantasy QB this week as the Chiefs look to win a second game in a row.

Alex Lyon Returns From Shoulder Injury Thursday
Buffalo Sabres goaltender Alex Lyon (shoulder) will start Thursday's clash against the Chicago Blackhawks, Mike Harrington of The Buffalo News reports. The 33-year-old is finally ready for his season debut after missing the first eight weeks with a shoulder injury. Initially, Lyon was expected to make his season debut in mid-October, but he suffered a setback in his recovery. Expectations are high for Lyon, who posted a 20-10-4 record in 2025-26. He has three shutouts, a 2.77 goals-against average, and a .907 save percentage. Thursday's matchup is the perfect spot for Lyon to ease back into action, as the Blackhawks are averaging a league-low 2.17 goals per game.

Mike Matheson Back in Action Thursday
Montreal Canadiens defenseman Mike Matheson (lower body) will rejoin the lineup on Thursday against the Boston Bruins. He has been cleared for action after sitting out six games due to a lower-body injury. Matheson has battled health issues all season, making just eight appearances. Matheson has recorded four points (one goal, three assists), 15 SOG, and 13 blocks. These are decent numbers for Matheson, who will soon be 33, but he's been rarely used on the power play this season, limiting his fantasy appeal. Matheson will take Adam Engstrom's spot in the lineup.

Omar Cooper Jr. Remains Limited on Thursday
New York Jets rookie first-round wide receiver Omar Cooper Jr. (ankle) was listed as a limited participant in practice for the second straight day on Thursday. Cooper is dealing with an ankle injury -- the same one that caused him to miss time earlier this season -- so his status is fully up in the air for the Week 10 contest on Sunday at home against the division-rival Buffalo Bills. Fellow wideout Garrett Wilson is also questionable after missing the Week 9 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs with a concussion. Since coming off Injured Reserve, Cooper, the 30th overall pick from Indiana, has caught 19 passes for 276 yards and two touchdowns in four games, demonstrating his big-time upside in New York's improved passing game. However, in the first game with Adonai Mitchell back from a finger injury, Cooper left fantasy managers out to dry and was not targeted at all in the Week 8 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders. If both he and Wilson are active, there will be volatility in his Week 10 fantasy outlook, even against a Bills secondary that has been vulnerable this year. Cooper will be much more attractive as a starting option in fantasy if he is active, but Wilson misses another game. Right now, RotoBaller has Cooper ranked as the No. 46 fantasy WR for Week 10.

Patrick Kane Probable for Thursday's Game
Chicago Blackhawks right wing Patrick Kane (upper body) is considered probable for Thursday's matchup with the Buffalo Sabres, Jack Bushman of Chicago Hockey Now reports. The former MVP has missed three games with an upper-body injury. At Wednesday's practice, Kane skated alongside Anton Frondell and Andrew Mangiapane on the second line. After a slow start, Kane has picked up pace with four assists in six games. In total, he has nine points (one goal, eight assists) in 15 games.

Garrett Wilson Remains Limited on Thursday
New York Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson (concussion) was listed as a limited participant in practice on Thursday for the second straight day. A concussion caused Wilson to miss the Jets' Week 9 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs on the road this past Sunday. The 26-year-old is making progress through the league's concussion protocol this week, but he might need to upgrade to full practice participation on Friday to avoid a questionable tag going into the weekend for a Week 10 contest on Sunday at home against the division-rival Buffalo Bills. Fantasy managers should be keeping a close eye on Wilson's status, as his availability will have a big effect on whether Adonai Mitchell and rookie Omar Cooper Jr. (ankle) will be viable flex plays against a Bills secondary that has had its issues in 2026. Wilson shed his non-contact jersey in Thursday's practice, which could be setting him up to be cleared from the concussion protocol on Friday or Saturday. If Wilson is cleared to face Buffalo this weekend, he should be in most starting fantasy football lineups as quarterback Geno Smith's No. 1 target in the passing game. Wilson has 43 catches on 63 targets for 527 yards and three touchdowns through eight games this year, but he has not found paydirt in the last three games he has played.

Kevin Fiala Makes Season Debut Thursday
Los Angeles Kings left wing Kevin Fiala (lower leg) will make his season debut on Thursday against the New York Islanders, Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site reports. The 30-year-old hasn't taken the ice for an NHL regular-season game since early February. He fractured his lower leg while playing for Switzerland at the 2026 Olympics. He had a follow-up procedure in September. Fiala finished last season with 40 points (18 goals, 22 assists) in 56 games. Although he might be rusty at first, Fiala is a proven scorer in the NHL, and fantasy managers should keep an eye on him.

Jakobi Meyers Upgrades to Limited Practice on Thursday
Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Jakobi Meyers (ankle) was listed as a limited participant in practice on Thursday. It is a notable development after he did not practice at all with the team on Wednesday. Meyers has been a regular on the team's practice report this year, but he has not missed any games, and his return to practice on Thursday should mean that he will be fine to play this weekend in a divisional tilt on Sunday on the road against the Tennessee Titans. The 30-year-old veteran has been a regular contributor in his first full season with the Jags in 2026 as the WR2 behind Parker Washington, catching 26 passes for 374 yards and two touchdowns in his eight games played. However, Meyers has not found the end zone since Week 3 against the New England Patriots, and he is still searching for his first 100-yard game of the year. Fantasy managers will want to check back on his final status on Friday, but if Meyers ends up playing against the Titans this weekend, he will be a solid WR3/flex with a good chance to find the end zone for the third time this year. He caught four of his six targets for 65 yards in last Thursday night's rout over the Baltimore Ravens.

Giants Would Like Cam Skattebo to Get 15-20 Carries Thursday
ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reports that he talked with someone from the New York Giants, and they would like to see running back Cam Skattebo get 15 to 20 carries in Thursday night's divisional game against the Washington Commanders in wet, rainy conditions. Skattebo injured his hamstring in the Week 7 overtime win over the Houston Texans and was not ready to play in the Week 9 win over the division-rival Philadelphia Eagles despite having the bye in Week 8 to rest up. He has been cleared from his hamstring injury this week, though, and will make the start against Washington, so fantasy managers should be returning him to their starting lineups. Both the Commanders and Giants could feature run-heavy offensive game plans in the bad weather on Thursday, which means that backup Devin Singletary could get plenty of opportunities as well, and could be a sleeper as a flex play in deeper fantasy leagues. Fantasy managers would be ecstatic if Skattebo did not miss a beat after carrying the football 17 times for a season-high 124 yards and a touchdown in Week 7 against the Texans. The second-year back has 418 rushing yards and two rushing scores on his 98 carries to this point in the season.

Chris Rodriguez Jr. Limited in Practice on Thursday
Jacksonville Jaguars running back Chris Rodriguez Jr. (hand) was limited in practice on Thursday. The 26-year-old has been battling a hand injury for several weeks that has kept him from practicing in full, but he was able to suit up in Jacksonville's Week 9 win over the Baltimore Ravens and could be on track to do the same in Week 10 against the Tennessee Titans. Across eight games in 2026, Rodriguez Jr. has recorded 228 rushing yards and four touchdowns on 55 carries. His production upside is limited by the presence of Jaguars RB1 Bhayshul Tuten (ankle/foot), but Tuten has yet to practice this week as he battles an ankle/foot injury. Similar to Rodriguez Jr., Tuten was able to play through his injury last week. However, if Tuten were unable to play against Tennessee and Rodriguez Jr. is active, he would profile as a must-start running back for fantasy managers in Week 10.

Amon-Ra St. Brown Remains Limited in Practice on Thursday
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.
