Minnesota Vikings running back
Aaron Jones Sr. (shoulder, toe) is officially listed as questionable for Week 10's matchup against the Baltimore Ravens, according to Alec Lewis of The Athletic. Jones was able to log two limited practices on Thursday and Friday after opening the week with a DNP on Wednesday. The 30-year-old suffered an AC joint sprain in Minnesota's Week 9 win over the Lions and was forced to leave early, but he is trending in the right direction headed into Week 10. Jones already missed four games earlier this season after being placed on Injured Reserve due to a hamstring injury, but this recent injury shouldn't force him to miss too much time. Jones profiles as an RB3 for Week 10 if he can play, but if he is unable to go,
Jordan Mason would be in line to lead the backfield with
Zavier Scott mixing in.
UPDATE: "I do feel good. Continue to take it each day. I still have two days, so I feel like I'll be in a good spot," Jones said when asked about his chances of playing on Sunday.--Kyle McCarthySource: Alec Lewis

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver
Brian Thomas Jr. (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's divisional matchup against the Houston Texans, per Adam Schefter of ESPN. Thomas suffered a low-grade high-ankle sprain in Jacksonville's Week 9 win over the Raiders, where he caught three of five targets for 55 yards. There was some optimism that Thomas would be able to suit up in Week 10, but the second-year wideout was unable to practice this week and could need a week or two to fully recover. The Jaguars are running thin at the wide receiver position with Thomas out and first-round rookie
Travis Hunter (knee) on Injured Reserve. Recent trade acquisition
Jakobi Meyers, along with
Parker Washington, are likely to lead Jacksonville's passing game in a tough matchup against a stout Houston Texans defense in Week 10.

Chicago Bears running back
D'Andre Swift (groin) is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's matchup against the New York Giants, according to Kevin Fishbain of The Athletic. Swift was downgraded to a DNP for Friday's practice session due to a personal reason, but practiced fully on Thursday, signaling that he is trending in the right direction for Sunday. The 26-year-old missed his first game of the season in Chicago's Week 9 win at Cincinnati due to the nagging groin injury. In Swift's absence, rookie
Kyle Monangai racked up 198 total yards from scrimmage and figures to be a bigger part of the backfield rotation in future weeks, as indicated by head coach Ben Johnson. The plan is for Swift to be active in Week 10, and he gets a great matchup in his return against a Giants defense that has allowed a league-worst 5.5 yards per carry.

Washington Commanders running back
Chris Rodriguez Jr. is primed to take on a bigger workload in Week 10 against the Detroit Lions. Rodriguez was named a team captain for Sunday's matchup, and coming off his best game of the season in Week 9 against the Seahawks, the 25-year-old is poised to see an increased workload. Rodriguez played 35.5% of the team's snaps in Week 9, which was his highest in a game since Week 4, and handled a season-high 12 carries for 65 yards and a touchdown. The third-year back out of Kentucky is a physical, downhill-style runner who has earned more opportunities with how hard he's run in his limited opportunities. Rookie
Jacory Croskey-Merritt has led Washington's backfield in carries this season, but struggled over the past four games, averaging just 3.1 yards per carry. Rodriguez is in line to at least split early-down work with Croskey-Merritt in Week 10 and has the potential to emerge as the team's primary ball-carrier.

San Francisco 49ers fourth-year tight end
Jake Tonges filled in admirably while teammate
George Kittle missed five games with a hamstring injury. However, since Kittle's return, Tonges has seen a total of 16 offensive snaps over the past three weeks. And while he did catch a two-yard touchdown in Week 8, it came on his lone target over that same timeframe. While Kittle has yet to top 4 targets or 45 yards since returning, Tonges no longer appears to have any role in this offense and can confidently be dropped by the select few fantasy managers who might still be holding him. Kittle remains an every-week starter, while the hope remains that the eventual return of quarterback
Brock Purdy will put him right back into the weekly TE1 conversation.

November 7, 2025
Denver Broncos running back
J.K. Dobbins (foot) briefly left Thursday night's win over the Raiders after having his foot pinned awkwardly beneath a defender's body during a third-quarter rush attempt. While he was able to return to the game, Dobbins and the team are now awaiting a second opinion to determine the severity of the foot injury. Dobbins has been a workhorse for the Broncos all season long, and in a game bereft of offensive highlights, he still managed a respectable 77 yards on 18 carries. Dobbins will now benefit from the post-TNF mini-bye before a Week 11 matchup with the Chiefs, and then the team's actual Week 12 Bye. If Dobbins is forced to miss time,
RJ Harvey becomes the obvious next-man-up. However, having topped seven carries only once this season, there should also be an expectation for
Tyler Badie and/or
Jaleel McLaughlin to see an expanded role.

Charlotte Hornets guard
Collin Sexton (neck) went from more likely to play to more likely to watch from the sidelines on Friday. Earlier Friday morning, Sexton was considered probable to play their NBA Cup game against the Miami Heat, but the team's PR department has since announced that he's been downgraded to doubtful. Unfortunately,
LaMelo Ball (ankle) was also downgraded from questionable to doubtful. That means
Tre Mann is likely moving into the starting five while
Kon Knueppel and
Sion James will have an even bigger role in the offense. For fantasy managers in deeper leagues,
KJ Simpson might even be worth a look for relief minutes in the backcourt. As of right now, Knueppel is the most consistent with averages of 14.8 points, 5.8 rebounds, 2.3 assists, and 3.1 threes per game.

Charlotte Hornets guard
LaMelo Ball (ankle) has been downgraded from questionable to doubtful ahead of their Friday night matchup with the Miami Heat. The star point guard has had a history of ankle issues and will now likely miss a third consecutive game due to another ankle injury. His backcourt mate,
Collin Sexton (neck), was also downgraded to doubtful, so that means more opportunities for
Tre Mann,
Sion James, and
Kon Knueppel. So far this season, the rookie Knueppel has been the most consistent, especially from three. If available, he'd be the highest priority streamer since he averages 14.8 points, 5.8 rebounds, 2.3 assists, and 3.1 threes per game.
--Alex Fischbein - RotoBallerSource: Charlotte Hornets PR
November 7, 2025
Arizona Cardinals quarterback
Kyler Murray (foot) has been in the building working hard, and the expectation is that he should return at some point this season, according to general manager Monti Ossenfort. When asked if that meant a return to the starting lineup, Ossenfort was less committal, saying, "A lot can happen" during the four weeks Murray is slated to miss after being placed on IR on Wednesday. The Cardinals are 1-2 in the three games started by
Jacoby Brissett, but the offense has taken a notable step forward, with both
Marvin Harrison Jr. and
Trey McBride benefiting from Brissett's 287 passing yards per game, along with his six touchdowns to only one interception. As he supports the team's primary pass-catchers, Brissett himself has also entered the streaming conversation in deeper leagues and superflex formats.

New Orleans Pelicans center
Yves Missi (illness) will miss a third consecutive game after the team ruled him out for Saturday's matchup with the San Antonio Spurs. The 21-year-old has appeared in five games so far (four starts), but hasn't really seen any increase in production yet. While he's been out,
Kevon Looney has taken over the starting center spot while
Derik Queen has seen increasing minutes off the bench. While Looney can provide managers with solid rebounding numbers, Queen provides a higher all-around ceiling after posting 23 points, 15 rebounds, nine assists, and seven steals across 44 minutes in his last two games.
--Alex Fischbein - RotoBallerSource: NBA Injury Report
November 7, 2025
Golden State Warriors center
Al Horford (foot) is dealing with soreness in his left foot and is considered questionable for the team's NBA Cup matchup with the Denver Nuggets. The veteran big man played in their last game against the Sacramento Kings and put up a subpar effort in the scoring department. He finished with 0 points on 0-for-8 shooting overall and 0-for-7 from deep. He did, however, contribute seven boards, two assists, and two steals. If Horford can't give it a go on Friday,
Quinten Post would likely see a boost in opportunities off the bench since
Draymond Green (rib) is considered probable. Post can be a solid streamer in deeper category leagues for managers that need some threes and rebounds.

November 7, 2025
Cleveland Browns rookie wide receiver
Isaiah Bond (foot) will miss Sunday's game against the Jets with a foot injury sustained in the team's Week 8 loss to the Patriots. Following a Week 9 bye, Bond has yet to return to practice and was ruled out of action on Friday. Since accumulating a season-high 58 yards on three catches in Week 4, Bond has made only four catches over his past four games and has been blanked from the stat sheet in the last two. Anyone still holding onto him in redraft leagues can drop him without reservation, and a similar move needs to be at least considered in dynasty leagues, depending on available options on waivers.

November 7, 2025
Minnesota Timberwolves guard
Anthony Edwards (hamstring) has been upgraded from questionable to available on the team's official injury report. The superstar wing returned to the court from a hamstring strain on Wednesday night and didn't turn in one of his best performances. He finished with 15 points (5-13 FG), five assists, two rebounds, two steals, and three turnovers in a 114-137 blowout loss. The good thing is that it seems as though there weren't any health setbacks in that game, so he'll be ready to suit up for the team's pursuit of the NBA Cup.
--Alex Fischbein - RotoBallerSource: NBA Injury Report
November 7, 2025
Cleveland Browns rookie tight end
Harold Fannin Jr. (hamstring) carries a questionable tag into Sunday's Week 10 matchup with the Jets. Fannin was a surprise DNP at Thursday's practice before returning to action on Friday. Through nine weeks, Fannin leads the Browns with 38 catches for 352 yards, and his two receiving touchdowns are tied for the team lead. He has been a reliable outlet throughout the season, but especially since
Dillon Gabriel's takeover at quarterback. He has caught at least four passes in each of Gabriel's starts, with both of his touchdowns coming in that span. If active, he should provide a safe floor with a high potential ceiling against a Jets defense that saw two of its best players depart at the trade deadline.
--Patrick McGrathSource: Daniel Oyefusi
November 7, 2025
New York Jets head coach Aaron Glenn is refusing to announce his starting quarterback for Sunday's Week 10 contest against the Cleveland Browns, according to Rich Cimini of ESPN. "We'll have a quarterback," Glenn said. The first-year head coach wouldn't even say if he hopes to get to a point where there's an entrenched starter. Cimini writes that
Justin Fields is expected to "get the nod" on Sunday after leading the Jets to their first win of the year before their Week 9 bye. Fields probably gives New York its best chance of winning a second straight game over veteran
Tyrod Taylor, and he certainly gives fantasy managers more upside as a QB2. However, nothing is official, and Fields won't be all that attractive as a QB2 streamer in fantasy lineups this weekend if he makes another start against a very capable Browns defense that is also coming off a bye.
--Keith HernandezSource: ESPN New York - Rich Cimini
November 7, 2025
Atlanta Hawks guard
Luke Kennard (illness) is officially listed as questionable for Friday's NBA Cup game against the Toronto Raptors. If Kennard can suit up, he should get around 20-25 minutes again since
Trae Young (knee) remains sidelined and the team continues a committee approach in the backcourt. On the other hand, if Kennard has to sit out,
Keaton Wallace would likely see a big bump in minutes off of the bench. The last time he played more than 15 minutes, he registered 11 points, seven assists, three rebounds, and one steal against the Indiana Pacers. He's most likely be the best streaming option that's also widely available across all fantasy formats.

November 7, 2025
Cleveland Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski said he expects wide receiver
Cedric Tillman (hamstring) to be activated from Injured Reserve on Saturday and play against the New York Jets on Sunday, according to Scott Petrak of Browns Zone. It will be a boost to what has been a rough Browns offense led by rookie quarterback
Dillon Gabriel. Tillman has been on IR since injuring his hamstring in Week 4, though, so it wouldn't be a surprise if the 25-year-old is eased back into the fold. However, it's good news for Cleveland's WR room, with rookie
Isaiah Bond (foot) looking unlikely to play. When fully healthy, Tillman should serve as the team's WR2 behind
Jerry Jeudy, who has really struggled in 2025. Before landing on IR, Tillman had 11 catches on 20 targets for 106 yards and two touchdowns. He's worth a speculative waiver-wire pickup if you're hurting at WR, but we wouldn't recommend starting him in his first game back.
UPDATE: Tillman is officially listed as questionable for Week 10.--Keith HernandezSource: Browns Zone - Scott Petrak
November 7, 2025
Cleveland Browns rookie quarterback
Shedeur Sanders (back) will be the team's No. 2 QB on Sunday against the New York Jets in Week 10, according to head coach Kevin Stefanski. Sanders missed the Week 8 loss to the New England Patriots due to back tightness, but he's ready to back up fellow rookie
Dillon Gabriel once again coming out of the team's bye week. With the 23-year-old signal-caller back to full health,
Bailey Zappe will revert to the QB3 role. Sanders has slowly risen up Cleveland's QB depth chart this year following the trades of
Kenny Pickett and
Joe Flacco. The Browns want to get an extended look at Gabriel as the starter under center, but it doesn't mean that Sanders won't make his NFL debut for the team later this year. Still, he should only be rostered right now in dynasty/keeper leagues.

New England Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel announced on Friday that wide receiver
Kayshon Boutte (hamstring) will not play this Sunday against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 10 action, per Doug Kyed of the Boston Herald. This was the expectation after Boutte missed practice all week following a hamstring injury he picked up early in last Sunday's win over the Atlanta Falcons. Before the injury, the 23-year-old was on a three-game touchdown streak, so he's worth stashing in fantasy leagues if you have the room. Boutte already has a career-high five touchdown catches and has contributed 23 receptions for 431 yards on 31 targets through nine games in his third NFL season. With Boutte sidelined this weekend,
Stefon Diggs will operate as the clear No. 1 wideout, with
DeMario Douglas and
Mack Hollins also in line for more targets. Rookies
Kyle Williams and
Efton Chism III will be looking for more snaps as well.
--Keith HernandezSource: Boston Herald - Doug Kyed
November 7, 2025
Washington Wizards forward
Kyshawn George (illness) popped up on the injury report later Friday morning with some sort of illness. He's officially listed as questionable, which is a bit worrisome since he appeared on the official report so late. The second-year wing has seen a huge step in production so far this season as he averages 16.8 points, 6.8 rebounds, 4.0 assists, 1.0 steals, and 1.1 blocks per game with shooting splits of .532/.500/.619. If George is unable to play,
Bub Carrington and
Tre Johnson may both be able to start since
Bilal Coulibaly (leg) has been ruled out. Johnson has been the better option as Carrington has struggled mightily to start his sophomore season.

November 7, 2025
New England Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel announced on Friday that running back
Rhamondre Stevenson (toe) is ruled out for Week 10 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday, according to Doug Kyed of the Boston Herald. Stevenson will miss a second straight game after injuring his toe in the Week 8 victory over the Cleveland Browns. He has yet to practice since the injury, which means he could be on his way to a third straight missed game on a short week for next Thursday's divisional contest against the New York Jets. With Stevenson officially out again, rookie
TreVeyon Henderson will be in line for lead-back duties again this Sunday in Tampa, with
Terrell Jennings backing him up. The 23-year-old Henderson will be in play as a plug-and-play RB2 in fantasy lineups. Last week, with Stevenson out, he had a season-high 14 carries for 55 yards and also caught a season-high four passes on six targets for 32 yards.
--Keith HernandezSource: Boston Herald - Doug Kyed

Chicago Bears running backs
D'Andre Swift (groin) and
Kyle Monangai (ankle) are both set to play in Week 10 on Sunday against the New York Giants after being listed on the injury report this week, and head coach Ben Johnson gave a bit of insight into how the team plans to divvy up the backfield workload this weekend, according to Courtney Cronin of ESPN. "I believe in a guy having the hot hand. One guy, if he's feeling it and giving us a spark, we might lean on that a little bit longer," Johnson said. Swift missed the Week 9 win over the Cincinnati Bengals with his nagging groin issue, leading to Monangai going for almost 200 scrimmage yards and a touchdown on 29 touches. Swift is on track to return this weekend, but it sounds like Monangai is going to be more involved as Chicago manages Swift's groin injury. Monangai's fantasy ceiling obviously takes a hit with Swift returning, but he might still be a decent RB3/flex with upside against the G-Men.

Carolina Panthers rookie first-round wide receiver
Tetairoa McMillan (hamstring) was added to Friday's injury report with a hamstring injury and is now questionable to play on Sunday against the division-rival New Orleans Saints in Week 10. Head coach Dave Canales said McMillan's hamstring issue "popped up" on Friday. The 22-year-old wasn't listed on the weekly injury report on Wednesday or Thursday. Late-week additions to the injury report are usually never a good thing, so fantasy managers should not be surprised if McMillan is unavailable to play this weekend or limited if he's on the field. In his first NFL season, McMillan has been the Panthers' most consistent pass-catcher, hauling in 41 of his 69 targets for 558 yards and two touchdowns in nine starts. If he cannot go against New Orleans,
Xavier Legette and
Jalen Coker would be in play as flex options in fantasy leagues, with rookie
Jimmy Horn Jr. being elevated to the No. 3 role.
UPDATE: Canales said he's "concerned" about McMillan's injury, but the team will re-evaluate him on Saturday.--Keith HernandezSource: Carolina Panthers
November 7, 2025
Carolina Panthers running back
Rico Dowdle (quadriceps) was a full participant in Friday's practice and has been cleared to play in Week 10 versus the division-rival New Orleans Saints on Sunday, according to the team. Dowdle did not practice on Wednesday, leading to questions about his availability for the weekend, but head coach Dave Canales made it sound like the team was fully counting on Dowdle to be available against the Saints. He was limited on Thursday before being upgraded to a full practice on Friday, so Dowdle should be fine to once again serve as the team's lead back on Sunday. The 27-year-old has been fantastic out of Carolina's backfield this year, unseating
Chuba Hubbard for the RB1 role. In the last five games, Dowdle has gone off with 652 rushing yards and three touchdowns on 103 carries while also adding 10 catches for 112 yards and another score. Start him everywhere in Week 10 in a plus matchup.
--Keith HernandezSource: Carolina Panthers
November 7, 2025
Cleveland Browns rookie tight end
Harold Fannin Jr. (hamstring) is back on the practice field on Friday after missing Thursday's session with a hamstring injury, according to Camryn Justice of WEWS. Fannin was a full participant at Wednesday's practice, so his DNP on Thursday raised eyebrows across the fantasy community. The 21-year-old could still be questionable to play this Sunday against the New York Jets, but his return to practice on Friday is a good sign for his availability this weekend. Check back later on Friday for Fannin's official status going into Sunday's contest. If Fannin is active against the Jets, he's pretty much a must-start in fantasy lineups, as he leads the Browns in catches (38), targets (51), and receiving yards (352) through nine weeks. If Fannin is limited or out in Week 10, fellow TE
David Njoku would have clear WR1 utility.

New York Jets head coach Aaron Glenn is non-committal on whether newly acquired wide receivers
Adonai Mitchell and
John Metchie III will make their debuts with the team in Week 10 on Sunday against the Cleveland Browns, according to Rich Cimini of ESPN. Glenn said that Mitchell is "a true X" receiver who can win in one-on-one matchups, while Metchie is a "master" route-runner out of the slot. Maybe Mitchell and Metchie need more time to study the offensive playbook? The Jets acquired Metchie from the Philadelphia Eagles last week and Mitchell from the Indianapolis Colts at Tuesday's trade deadline.
Garrett Wilson (knee) will return this weekend from a knee injury that kept him sidelined for the last few games, but there is an opportunity for both Mitchell and Metchie to carve out roles with
Josh Reynolds (hip). But in a bad Jets passing attack, both Mitchell and Metchie aren't much more than deep-league dart throws.

November 7, 2025
The Indianapolis Colts announced on Friday that they placed defensive tackle DeForest Buckner (neck) on Injured Reserve. Buckner will now be forced to miss at least the next four games, starting with this Sunday's game in Berlin, Germany, against the Atlanta Falcons. The 31-year-old three-time Pro Bowler will be eligible to return on Dec. 14 against the Seattle Seahawks. It's a notable loss for the interior of the Colts' defensive line for the foreseeable future. In nine games this year, Buckner had four sacks, 42 tackles (26 solo), nine tackles for loss, and 13 QB hits for Indy. With the veteran pass-rusher out for at least four games, the Colts will need the likes of Grover Stewart, Neville Gallimore, and Adetomiwa Adebawore, among others, to step up.
--Keith HernandezSource: Indianapolis Colts
November 7, 2025
New England Patriots wide receiver
Kayshon Boutte (hamstring) was not seen at the portion of practice open to the media on Friday, according to ESPN's Mike Reiss. Boutte has not practiced all week after injuring his hamstring in the Week 9 win over the Atlanta Falcons, so he's likely to be officially ruled out for Week 10 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers later on Friday. The 23-year-old ended his streak of three straight games with touchdowns after getting hurt early in last Sunday's game against Atlanta, as he finished with no catches on just one target. He will probably be questionable, at best, for Week 11, too, with that contest coming next Thursday night against the division-rival New York Jets. With Boutte likely out this weekend,
Stefon Diggs,
DeMario Douglas, and
Mack Hollins will likely start in three-wide sets, with rookie
Kyle Williams also likely to see an expanded role.
--Keith HernandezSource: ESPN Boston - Mike Reiss
November 7, 2025
New England Patriots running back
Rhamondre Stevenson (knee) is working off to the side during Friday's practice and is unlikely to play on Sunday against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 10, according to Mike Reiss of ESPN. Stevenson has been unable to practice since suffering a toe injury in the Week 8 win over the Cleveland Browns, and he's on track to miss a second straight game this weekend. And with a short week upcoming for a tilt next Thursday night against the division-rival New York Jets, Stevenson may be fighting an uphill battle to be ready to play in Week 11. With Rhambo likely to sit against the Buccaneers, rookie
TreVeyon Henderson will once again have an expanded role, but
Terrell Jennings could once again see valuable touches out of the Pats' backfield. Even with Jennings involved, Henderson will have RB2 upside in fantasy with Stevenson likely out for another week.
--Keith HernandezSource: ESPN Boston - Mike Reiss
November 7, 2025
Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver
Chris Godwin (leg) didn't practice again on Friday and will be ruled out for the Week 10 game against the New England Patriots on Sunday, according to Greg Auman of FOX Sports. Godwin is slowly making progress, but he's still not ready coming out of the bye and will miss a fourth straight game this weekend. ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reported on Thursday that the Bucs are taking their time with the 29-year-old pass-catcher, and he might not return until late November or early December. Tampa is thin at the receiver position with veteran
Mike Evans (collarbone) potentially out for the rest of the year, but the team isn't going to rush Godwin back after he suffered a season-ending ankle dislocation in Week 7 of last year. With Godwin out again this Sunday, rookies
Emeka Egbuka and
Tez Johnson, and
Sterling Shepard will work in starting three-wide sets.
