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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back
Bucky Irving (foot, shoulder) is not practicing again on Friday and will be ruled out for the Week 10 game this Sunday against the New England Patriots, according to FOX Sports' Greg Auman. Even though Tampa is coming off its bye week, Irving is not ready and will miss a fifth straight game this weekend, mainly due to a shoulder subluxation that he's still recovering from. The 23-year-old is also dealing with a left-foot sprain. His next chance to return will come in Week 11 next Sunday on the road against the Buffalo Bills. Irving needs to remain stashed in all fantasy leagues, but he won't be active for Week 10.
Rachaad White will once again have plug-and-play value as an RB2 with Irving out, while
Sean Tucker will also have an expanded workload as the RB2 for the Bucs this weekend.

NFL Network's Cameron Wolfe reports that Buffalo Bills running back
James Cook (ankle) is "good to go" for Sunday's matchup with their division-rival Miami Dolphins. Cook missed practice on Wednesday with what has been called an ankle injury, but was elevated to limited on Thursday. While his status for Friday's practice has yet to be disclosed, fantasy managers can breathe a sigh of relief knowing he's ready to rock heading into the weekend. Miami has been one of the worst teams against the rush this season, and one of the friendliest toward fantasy running backs -- yielding the sixth-most fantasy points per game to the position (25.52). Cook owners can comfortably slot him into their lineups as a high-end RB1 in a smash Week 10 spot.

Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott said that wide receiver
Joshua Palmer (ankle, knee) is questionable to play in Week 10 against the division-rival Miami Dolphins on Sunday, according to Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic. Palmer has been limited in practice all week and is up in the air to make his return this weekend. The 26-year-old hasn't played since Week 6, so even if he gets the green light to suit up this Sunday, he won't be guaranteed significant snaps on offense as WR depth behind
Khalil Shakir and
Keon Coleman. Palmer hasn't made much of a fantasy impact in his first year in Buffalo to begin with, catching 14 passes for 234 yards and no touchdowns in six games played. Shakir is really the only wideout in Buffalo that is worth weekly starting consideration through nine weeks in 2025.

When asked about how the team's backfield split will look in Sunday's road tilt with the Seattle Seahawks, Arizona Cardinals head coach Jonathan Gannon declined to give clear insight. "Similar but not the same," said Gannon. "Maybe a little bit different." It was also noted that he and offensive coordinator Drew Petzing have not discussed which running back will be out there to start the game.
Emari Demercado led the team in carries (14) and yards (79) in Week 9. However, it's worth noting that
Bam Knight led the duo in snaps (38-27) and was handily out-produced (9/27). As it stands, Gannon could deploy a hot-hand approach, leaving fantasy managers stuck guessing between the two. For what it's worth, Knight has been the snap-leader since teammate
Trey Benson (knee) went down with injury. Hopefully, Week 10's clash with Seattle yields further understanding of the situation.

According to head coach Pete Carroll, Las Vegas Raiders offensive lineman Jackson Powers-Johnson (ankle) is expected to "be out for a while" after picking up an injury in Thursday's 10-7 loss to the Denver Broncos. Powers-Johnson was forced from the game in the second quarter with an ankle issue and did not return, although the specifics of the injury were not detailed. Per Carroll, "He hurt his ankle, legit. I don't want to go into any of the details, but he hurt his ankle." It's a massive blow to Las Vegas' offensive line, as the former second-round pick has evolved into one of the league's premier guards. Teammate Alex Cappa replaced the 22-year-old when he went down, and figures to be the answer at the position while the latter is sidelined.

Baltimore Ravens tight end
Mark Andrews will attempt to string together another viable fantasy performance in Week 10's meeting with the hosting Minnesota Vikings. The return of quarterback <a class="rbPlayer nfl" data-id="19781" href="/nfl/player/19781/L
Amar+Jackson">Lamar Jackson boded well for the eighth-year pro last Thursday, as Andrews finished in the top five at his position for the first time since Week 3, and the second time this season. While his volume was minimal (2/22/2), it was encouraging to see Baltimore's offense immediately get back on track. He should see more work in a more competitive game, and Minnesota presents as a beatable matchup -- yielding the twelfth-most fantasy points per game to opposing tight ends (14.86). Either way, Andrews and the entire Ravens' offense are on the rise with the two-time MVP back calling signals.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back
Sean Tucker should again see a modest workload this weekend when his team takes on the New England Patriots at home. Tucker and backfield mate
Rachaad White have both seen their touch shares rise since Week 5, while teammate
Bucky Irving (foot, shoulder) has tended to injury. With Irving trending toward being out another game, that should be the case again in Week 10. Tucker found standalone value for the first time this season before Tampa Bay's bye, punching in his second touchdown of the campaign. However, New England poses a far greater challenge than the Saints did the week before. The 24-year-old is on the fantasy radar, but only as a low-end flex asset.

Since returning from a foot injury that delayed his start to the 2025 season, Baltimore Ravens tight end
Isaiah Likely has seen minimal usage in his team's passing game. Across five games played, the 25-year-old has hauled in eight catches for 86 yards on nine targets. However, Likely is coming off his best game of the season in Week 9, recording three catches for 60 yards on four targets against the Miami Dolphins. Week 9 was also the first time Likely has shared the field with star Ravens quarterback
Lamar Jackson for a full game. Across 16 games with Jackson in 2024, Likely recorded 42 catches for 477 yards and six touchdowns on 58 targets. Likely's fantasy ceiling is limited by the presence of veteran Ravens tight end
Mark Andrews. However, his stock is trending upwards heading into a Week 10 matchup against the Minnesota Vikings now that Jackson is back in the fold.

A rash of injuries in his team's wide receiver corps has led to Tampa Bay Buccaneers wideout
Sterling Shepard playing a larger role in his team's offense than initially expected at the outset of the 2025 season. Through eight games, the 32-year-old has recorded 27 catches for 275 yards and a touchdown on 36 targets. Tampa Bay will remain without
Mike Evans (collarbone) and
Jalen McMillan (neck) in Week 10 against the New England Patriots. Wide receiver
Chris Godwin (leg) has yet to practice this week and also appears to be trending towards missing Week 10. Alongside rookies
Emeka Egbuka and
Tez Johnson, Shepard should see significant playing time against New England. His ceiling is limited, but Shepard could be a desperation flex option for deep-league fantasy managers in Week 10.
