Dejounte Murray Ruled Out Versus Nuggets
New Orleans Pelicans guard Dejounte Murray (ankle) will miss his second straight game Saturday against the Denver Nuggets due to a left ankle sprain. His absence comes one day after ESPN's Shams Charania reported that Murray requested a trade, a development the Pelicans later confirmed. Phoenix has reportedly shown interest, though no trade talks have developed. Murray is averaging 13.4 points, 4.4 assists, and 1.6 steals while shooting 43.1% through nine games. Jeremiah Fears should continue handling more of the backcourt workload after posting 18 points and seven assists against Memphis on Friday, while Murray's fantasy outlook now depends heavily on where he lands.

Trey Murphy III Remains Sidelined Saturday
New Orleans Pelicans guard/forward Trey Murphy III (knee) has been ruled out for Saturday's matchup with the Denver Nuggets due to bilateral patellar tendinopathy. It will be his fourth straight absence and fifth missed game of the season. Murphy has averaged 15.6 points, 4.8 rebounds, 3.6 assists, and 2.2 threes in 32.8 minutes when available. With Dejounte Murray (ankle) also sidelined, Saddiq Bey should remain busy after putting up 30 points and 10 rebounds against Memphis on Friday. Murphy's recurring knee issue remains the bigger concern for fantasy managers until he can put together a healthier stretch.

Yves Missi Cleared to Return Saturday Against Denver
New Orleans Pelicans center Yves Missi (knee) is set to return Saturday against the Denver Nuggets after missing 11 straight games with a left knee bone bruise. Missi will be on a minutes restriction in his first game back, which should keep expectations modest right away. He opened the season as New Orleans' starting center and posted 13 points, 14 rebounds, five assists, two steals, and three blocks against Indiana before the injury. Karlo Matkovic and DeAndre Jordan have handled most of the center starts in his absence, but Missi's rebounding and defensive production could earn him a larger share of the frontcourt minutes as his workload increases.

Vikings Elevate Depth Receiver with Jordan Addison Questionable
With Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jordan Addison (thumb) questionable to play in Sunday's Week 10 contest against the Green Bay Packers, the team decided to elevate wide receiver Jeshaun Jones from the practice squad, according to Alex Lewis of The Athletic. Addison was added to the injury report on Friday after practicing in a limited capacity, leading to some significant concern about his availability for Week 10. Now, Jones' elevation to the 53-man roster on Saturday raises additional questions about Addison's chances of playing in Sunday's divisional contest. The 27-year-old has underperformed even when healthy this year, catching a modest 18 passes for 277 yards and one touchdown across seven games in 2026. If he suits up this week, he'll rank as a WR3/flex with a low floor. If not, then Justin Jefferson will be the only Minnesota receiver on the fantasy radar for this week. The Vikings will provide clarity on Addison's status when they release their list of inactive players at 11:30 a.m. EST on Sunday.

Conor Garland Out Week-to-Week With Upper-Body Injury
Columbus Blue Jackets right wing Conor Garland (upper body) is week-to-week, Aaron Portzline of The Athletic reports. Garland was placed on Injured Reserve Friday and will miss a third straight game on Saturday night against Philadelphia. It's been a horrible year for Garland, who hasn't scored in 15 games and has only one assist. Steven Lorentz recently entered the lineup and will likely see regular action until Garland is ready to return, though he offers nothing to fantasy squads as a fourth-liner. Luca Del Bel Belluz may be worth a look, however, as Sean Monahan's (upper body) replacement in the top six.

Adam Randall Remains on IR, Questionable to Face Chargers in Week 10
Baltimore Ravens running back Adam Randall (neck, hamstring) practiced in full on Saturday and is officially listed as questionable to play in Monday's Week 10 contest against the Los Angeles Chargers, according to the team's official injury report. Randall has been on injured reserve since before Week 1, and he would need to be activated by Monday afternoon in order to suit up against the Chargers. If activated, the rookie out of Clemson would presumably be competing with Rasheen Ali for the No. 3 spot on the depth chart. Ali has delivered a minimal impact this season with just six carries across nine games, so we wouldn't be totally shocked if the Ravens look to switch things up and replace him with Randall. With that being said, given the current backfield dynamic in Baltimore, neither Ali nor Randall belong on the redraft radar. Lead back Derrick Henry is the only must-start player in this backfield, while pass-catching specialist Justice Hill has started to generate some buzz as an RB3/flex in deeper PPR leagues.

Anthony Cirelli Misses Second Straight Game
Tampa Bay Lightning center Anthony Cirelli (lower body) will miss a second straight game on Saturday against the Detroit Red Wings, Diandra Loux of The Hockey News reports. He remains day-to-day with a lower-body injury. Cirelli and Yanni Gourde (rest) joined Brayden Point (undisclosed) on the sidelines Thursday against Columbus, leaving Tampa Bay shorthanded in the middle. Gourde will jump back into action against Detroit and should get plenty of usage on the scoring lines and the power play, making him a good fantasy option.

Mathew Barzal Set for Season Debut Saturday
New York Islanders forward Mathew Barzal (knee) was activated from Injured Reserve and is expected to make his season debut on Saturday against the Anaheim Ducks. Barzal sat out the first month and a half after re-aggravating a knee injury before training camp. His absence has been a huge blow to the Islanders' power play, as the team has converted only 16.4 percent of their chances. The Islanders' overall offensive record hasn't been great either, with 2.94 goals averaged. Anaheim ranks 30th in goals allowed, so Barzal will have a good opportunity to make an immediate impact.

Titans Waive Running Back Michael Carter
The Tennessee Titans waived running back Michael Carter on Saturday, according to Aaron Wilson of KPRC2. Carter had earned offensive snaps in each of the Titans' last two games, but he occupied a depth role with just three carries, seven rushing yards, and a seven-yard reception. Dropping Carter from the 53-man roster would seem to indicate that the Titans are confident Tyjae Spears (knee, questionable) will be able to play in Sunday's Week 10 contest against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Assuming his status is confirmed, the Titans will roll into Sunday's game with a backfield featuring Tony Pollard, Spears, and Nicholas Singleton. As an established veteran, Carter may be able to wind up on a 53-man roster elsewhere, but he profiles as a No. 3 or No. 4 running back and does not belong on the fantasy radar.

Artemi Panarin Unavailable Against Flames
Los Angeles Kings left wing Artemi Panarin (personal) won't play on Saturday against the Calgary Flames. He will miss his first game of the season for personal reasons. Panarin's absence is a huge blow for the Kings, as he leads the team in goals (eight), assists (11), and points (19) after 17 games. Alex Turcotte will be Panarin's replacement on the first line. Playing with Adrian Kempe and Alex Laferriere boosts Turcotte's fantasy appeal, but he's averaged just 0.26 points per game in his NHL career.

Chris Brooks Activated From Injured Reserve for Week 10
Green Bay Packers running back Chris Brooks (ankle) has been activated from injured reserve ahead of Sunday's Week 10 contest against the Minnesota Vikings, according to an official announcement from the team. Brooks remains on the injury report and is officially listed as questionable, but his activation indicates that he should be able to play in Sunday's divisional battle, barring a setback. The 26-year-old had appeared in four games before landing on IR in Week 5. Across those four contests, he operated in a depth capacity with 15 carries, 70 rushing yards, three receptions, and 24 receiving yards. Even with Josh Jacobs (finger) sidelined for several weeks, there doesn't appear to be an immediate path to fantasy relevance for Brooks. He'll likely operate behind Kaleb Johnson and MarShawn Lloyd this weekend, and he could also end up behind Pierre Strong Jr. in the pecking order.

Chris Kreider Ruled Out for 6-8 Weeks
Montreal Canadiens left wing Chris Kreider (lower body) will be out for 6-8 weeks, the team announced before Saturday's game against Colorado. Kreider suffered a lower-body injury on Thursday night against Boston, appearing to hurt his left leg. Through his first 19 games with the Canadiens, Kreider has registered nine points (three goals, six assists) and 21 hits. With him out, Florian Xhekaj will enter the lineup against Colorado. Owen Beck will likely also feature in the lineup during Kreider's absence.

Zay Jones Elevated to Active Roster for Week 10
Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Zay Jones has been elevated from the practice squad to the active roster for Sunday's Week 10 contest against the Los Angeles Rams, according to Darren Urban of the team's official website. Jones will offer a major reinforcement for a Cardinals team that has experienced several significant losses at the wide receiver position. Arizona traded away Marvin Harrison Jr. earlier this season, and they recently placed Michael Wilson (neck) and Kendrick Bourne (tibia) on injured reserve with season-ending injuries. Jones has yet to play an offensive snap this season, but that could change Sunday with both Wilson and Bourne sidelined. With that being said, he remains off the fantasy radar in his role behind Reggie Virgil, Simi Fehoko, and Devin Duvernay. He could also face some adversity while catching passes from inexperienced rookie quarterback Carson Beck, who is making his NFL debut in Week 10.

Cale Makar Unavailable for Two Weeks
Colorado Avalanche defenseman Cale Makar (lower body) has been ruled out for two weeks ahead of Saturday's tilt against Montreal. Both Makar and Nathan MacKinnon (lower body) were hurt in Thursday's loss to Ottawa and will exit the lineup this week. While Makar is expected to return in a couple of weeks, MacKinnon will miss at least a month. Makar is once again among the highest-scoring defensemen in 2026-27, posting 23 points (five goals, 18 assists) in 19 appearances. Alex Gagne is set to take his spot in the lineup, and the blue line will lean more on Devon Toews and Sam Malinski.

Nathan MacKinnon to Miss One Month
Colorado Avalanche center Nathan MacKinnon (lower body) will be unavailable for at least one month. The team lost him to a lower-body injury in Thursday's matchup with Ottawa, and MacKinnon will miss his first game of the season Saturday night against Montreal. MacKinnon is having another excellent season, boasting a team-high 30 points (10 goals, 20 assists) in 20 games. Nazem Kadri and Brock Nelson are expected to have bigger roles for the Avalanche, though the coming weeks promise to be difficult, with Cale Makar (lower body) also sidelined.
