Kenneth Walker Does Not Practice on Friday Due to Sore Groin
Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid said that running back Kenneth Walker (groin) did not practice on Friday after reporting a sore groin, according to Matt Derrick of ChiefsDigest.com. No decision has been made yet on Walker's availability for the Week 10 game on Sunday against the Atlanta Falcons. This is a big one. Late-week injuries are typically never a good sign, so Walker's status for Sunday's game in Atlanta could be up in the air. Fantasy managers who have Walker rostered or who are hurting at the RB position should run to the waiver wire immediately to see if rookie backup Emmett Johnson is available. If Walker is out or limited this weekend, Johnson would likely see the majority of backfield touches for the Chiefs in a good matchup. The 26-year-old Walker broke out of a mini-slump in last week's blowout win over the New York Jets, rushing the rock 18 times for 102 yards and a touchdown while also catching all four of his targets for 41 yards and two more touchdowns in the passing game. In his first year with the Chiefs as their unquestioned lead back, Walker has been a must-start RB1 on a weekly basis. Check back for more information on Walker's official Week 10 status on Friday.

Daune Morris Cited for Reckless Driving Following Car Crash
Tennessee running back Daune Morris (leg) has been cited for reckless driving following a car crash, according to a police report. Morris struck a fire hydrant and four parked cars in a collision that flipped his vehicle onto its roof. He sustained a broken leg that will keep him out for the remainder of the season. Morris has served as the top backup in the backfield, which has been led by DeSean Bishop. Morris has 434 rushing yards and three touchdowns over 66 carries, while catching six passes for 35 yards as well. Tennessee is currently 7-2 and sits eighth in the College Football Playoff rankings. The Volunteers have Texas A&M, LSU and Vanderbilt left on their regular season schedule.

David Montgomery Practicing Again Friday
Houston Texans running back David Montgomery (groin), who has missed the past three games with a groin injury, was back at practice on Friday after logging a limited participation on Thursday. Teammate Woody Marks (knee), averaging more than 78 total yards per game in his stead as the lead back, was also spotted back at practice after injuring his knee on Wednesday and missing Thursday's session. With a favorable Week 10 matchup against a Brown defense that has allowed the sixth most points above average to the running back position, either Montgomery or Marks would make for a strong start if given the backfield to themselves, but any potential split considerably lowers the ceiling of both. Through the first four weeks of the season, with both players at close to full health, Montgomery was the fantasy RB21, largely on the strength of a three-touchdown performance to open the year, while Marks trailed him as the RB33.

Keelon Russell a Game-Time Decision in Week 11
Alabama quarterback Keelon Russell (ankle) is expected to be a game-time decision for the team's Week 11 game against Vanderbilt. If he cannot play, Austin Mack would start in his place. Russell has completed 67.3% of his passes for 2,263 yards and 18 touchdowns, while being picked off five times. He's also rushed for 276 yards and five scores across 74 attempts. He has three TD passes in two straight games. Mack has attempted just four passes on the year, completing three for 18 yards - he has rushed three times for two yards and another touchdown. Vanderbilt is a pretty favorable matchup for whoever starts at QB, with the Commodores allowing 359.1 total yards and 29.4 points per game so far this season.

Woody Marks Returns to Practice Friday
Houston Texans running back Woody Marks (knee) was seen back at practice on Friday after injuring his knee on Wednesday and logging a DNP on Thursday. With veteran David Montgomery (groin) missing the past three games with a groin injury, Marks has served as the team's lead back, averaging 78.7 total yards per game. Houston faces a Browns defense in Week 10 that has given up the sixth most fantasy points above average to the running back position, but with Montgomery back at practice and Marks dealing with his own ailment, fantasy managers will need to check back for the release of the official injury report and could face a game-time decision ahead of what should be a favorable matchup.

Zachariah Branch Ruled Out for Week 10
Atlanta Falcons rookie wide receiver Zachariah Branch (hamstring) has been ruled out for this weekend's game against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 10, according to Marc Raimondi of ESPN. Branch has not played since suffering a hamstring injury in Week 8 in the loss to the division-rival Tampa Bay Buccaneers and will miss a second straight game this Sunday. The Falcons will go into their bye next week, so the 22-year-old third-rounder from Georgia will not return until at least the team's Week 12 game on the road against the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday, Nov. 29. In his absence for the second straight week, look for Olamide Zaccheaus to see the field more in Atlanta behind Drake London and Jahan Dotson, although he will not be on the fantasy radar as a starting option in most formats in Week 10 against KC. Branch has been barely used in the Falcons' offense in his first year in the NFL in 2026, catching just 10 of his 12 targets for 64 yards (6.4 yards per reception) and no touchdowns in eight games played. Because of his lack of a consistent role, Branch is really only worth stashing in dynasty/keeper leagues for the time being.

Israel Abanikanda to Serve as Cowboys RB2
Dallas Cowboys running back Israel Abanikanda has not played in an NFL game since his 2023 rookie season, but with Tyler Goodson (knee) expected to miss multiple weeks with the knee injury suffered in a Week 9 win over the Colts, the former fifth-round pick of the New York Jets is expected to serve as the primary backup to Javonte Williams. Currently the fantasy RB6, Williams has handled nearly a 76% running back rush share, and although Goodson has matched his efficiency with 4.1 yards per carry, the former Bronco trails only D'Andre Swift with nine rushing touchdowns. With Abanikanda unlikely to eat into his workload, either near the goal line or between the 20s, Williams is RotoBaller's RB7 ahead of a Week 10 matchup with the 49ers.

Denzel Boston Listed as Questionable
Cleveland Browns rookie wide receiver Denzel Boston (toe) returned to practice on Friday but is listed as questionable to play in Week 10 on Sunday against the hosting Houston Texans, according to Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN. Head coach Todd Monken said that Boston "moved around pretty good" in practice on Friday and is "trending in the right way" to play this weekend. The 22-year-old second-rounder from Washington picked up a toe injury in the Week 9 overtime loss to the New Orleans Saints last weekend and missed the first two practices of the week. His injury was downplayed earlier in the week, though, and the young pass-catcher appears to be on the right side of questionable for Week 10 action. In last week's loss to the Saints, Boston had six catches on seven targets for a season-high 98 receiving yards while working with quarterback Shedeur Sanders for the first time all year. The move back to Deshaun Watson under center this week after he missed Week 9 due to a concussion could be a concern for Boston's fantasy managers, as well as the less-than-appealing matchup against Houston's defense. Boston has a nice 32-507-3 line in his first nine NFL games, but he could be a boom/bust WR2/3 against the Texans if he is active on Sunday.

Puka Nacua Targeting a Mid-December Return
Los Angeles Rams All-Pro wide receiver Puka Nacua (knee, toe) was placed on injured reserve after suffering an MCL and PCL sprain, as well as turf toe, on the team's final offensive play of a Week 9 win over the Commanders, but NFL insider Ian Rapoport reports that he is targeting a mid-December return. While that timeline would afford him the chance to ramp up ahead of a potential Rams playoff run, it likely puts his return close to the start or even midway through the fantasy playoffs. The WR2 by points per game, Nacua is one of the few players reasonably capable of making an immediate fantasy impact following an injury of this nature, putting contending fantasy managers in a bind as to whether to hold him or flip him for more reliable production. The two-time Pro Bowler is RotoBaller's WR31 in rest-of-season rankings.

Denzel Boston Returns to Practice Friday
Cleveland Browns rookie wide receiver Denzel Boston (toe) returned to practice on Friday after missing the first two sessions of the week with a toe injury. Fantasy managers will need to monitor the team's official injury report for his level of participation, but his mere presence is an encouraging sign for his Week 10 availability. The 2026 second-round pick ranks first among rookie wide receivers by both receiving yards and touchdowns, and he once again makes for a strong flex play if he's able to suit up against a Texans defense that has been surprisingly vulnerable to outside receivers. With starting quarterback Deshaun Watson already confirmed as the Week 10 starter after missing the team's previous game with a concussion, Boston is RotoBaller's WR25.

Jake Bauers, Red Sox Agree on Four-Year Contract
First baseman Jake Bauers and the Boston Red Sox agreed on a four-year, $58 million contract on Friday, sources told Jeff Passan of ESPN. Bauers parlayed his breakout season with Milwaukee while helping them win their first-ever World Series title in 2026 into a massive payday with Boston. The 31-year-old veteran left-handed slugger turned things around at the plate in a big way this year in his third season with the Brew Crew, slashing .266/.389/.484 with a career-best .874 OPS, 26 home runs, 22 doubles, 86 RBI, 93 runs scored, and 11 stolen bases in 144 regular-season games across 578 plate appearances in his seventh year in the majors. He was not as productive in the postseason, going 9-for-47 (.191) with a home run, a double, six RBI, four runs scored, 10 walks, and 19 strikeouts in 13 games played. However, he was named the MVP of the National League Championship Series against the Los Angeles Dodgers after going 4-for-14 (.286) with a home run, a double, and six RBI in the four-game sweep of L.A. Bauers should hit in the heart of Boston's order in 2027 and beyond and could see most of his playing time in the outfield and at designated hitter.

Bam Knight Will be Good to Go vs. Rams
Arizona Cardinals running back Bam Knight (concussion) has no injury designation and will be good to go against the division-rival Los Angeles Rams in Week 10 on Sunday, according to Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic. Knight suffered a concussion in the Week 8 win over the Dallas Cowboys and did not play in last week's loss on the road against the division-rival Seattle Seahawks. With rookie first-rounder Jeremiyah Love (ankle) still on Injured Reserve, Knight will return this weekend and could take over lead-back duties from Tyler Allgeier. In the first matchup against the Rams in Week 6, Knight had a season-high 15 carries for 80 yards while adding two catches on two targets for 18 yards. Before suffering a concussion, Knight was the more effective back while sharing the workload with Allgeier. Albeit in a bad matchup against a Rams defense that is starting to hit its stride, Knight will be a flex option in deeper leagues at the RB position in what will likely be a timeshare with Allgeier. RotoBaller has him ranked as the No. 40 fantasy RB in Week 10. Knight has been very efficient with limited touches this year, gaining 168 yards on 28 rushing attempts (6.0 yards per carry), but he has yet to find the end zone.

Xavier Legette Questionable vs. Saints
Carolina Panthers wide receiver Xavier Legette (knee) is listed as questionable to play on Sunday in Week 10 against the division-rival New Orleans Saints, according to The Athletic's Joe Person. Legette was listed as a full participant in Thursday's practice, so he should be on the right side of questionable to come off Injured Reserve on Saturday and play on Sunday in New Orleans. The 25-year-old former first-rounder in 2024 has played in only two games so far in his third year in the NFL due to his knee injury. Before his injury, he was serving as the WR3 for Carolina behind Tetairoa McMillan and Jalen Coker, leading to just two receptions on six targets for 64 yards. Legette has been a major disappointment for the Panthers early in his career, catching 86 of his 154 targets for 924 yards (10.7 yards per reception) and seven touchdowns in 33 games played, and as long as McMillan and Coker stay healthy, he will have limited fantasy upside as a deep-league stash for WR depth. Legette is not currently rostered in any Yahoo leagues, and he will not be a recommended flex play in deeper leagues this weekend if he is active versus the Saints.
