Dak Prescott

DAL Quarterback #4

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

NFL Network’s Jane Slater reports Dak Prescott’s “initial diagnosis is a partial avulsion of his hamstring tendon which is partially torn off the bone.”

Slater also reports that her sources told her “it typically takes more than a 4 week recovery. In some cases, they let it scar over, repair and then strengthen. With that being said, Prescott is seeking other opinions which is why there is currently a reluctance to place him on IR or make any determinations about a timeline for return.” An avulsion injury is far more serious than a typical strain. Fantasy managers should prudently move on from Prescott at this time.
DeVonta Smith

PHI Wide Receiver #6

DeVonta Smith (hamstring) did not practice Wednesday.

Smith wasn’t present for Wednesday’s walkthrough. We will get more info on the situation tomorrow, but it’s a concerning start to the week for the star receiver. Smith didn’t appear limited by the hamstring injury on Sunday when he reeled in one of the most impressive toe-drag touchdowns you’ll ever see. He finished the day with four grabs for 87 yards and one score. If Smith can’t suit up this week, a returning Dallas Goedert will operate as Jalen Hurts’ No. 2 pass-catcher.
Patrick Mahomes

KC Quarterback #15

Patrick Mahomes (ankle) is practicing in full for Week 10 against the Broncos.

Mahomes came up limping late in the Chiefs’ Week 9 win over the Bucs. He had quietly been dealing with an ankle injury before the game and aggravated it while scrambling. Mahomes finished the game without any issues, securing an overtime victory in the process. A full practice to open the week indicates it genuinely is a minor injury at most. Coming off his best fantasy performance of the season, Mahomes is climbing the QB2 ranks for Week 10.
Isaiah Likely

BAL Tight End #80

Isaiah Likely (hamstring) will not play in Week 10 against the Bengals.

Likely did not practice once this week before being ruled out. The good news is that he gets the mini-bye following Baltimore’s Thursday Night Football matchup with Cincinnati. Mark Andrews will approach a full-time role tomorrow after spending most of this season in a rotation with Likely and Charlie Kolar. A decrease in 12-personnel sets should also get Diontae Johnson on the field more.
Lamar Jackson

BAL Quarterback #8

Lamar Jackson (knee) was removed from the Week 10 injury report and will play against the Bengals.

Jackson missed two practices with a back injury last week. John Harbaugh called it rest and NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport later reported that rest days would be built into his practice regimen going forward. His DNP yesterday was no different. Eying up a potential shootout with the Bengals, Jackson will continue his MVP campaign as Week 10’s QB1 overall.
Tee Higgins

CIN Wide Receiver #5

Tee Higgins (quad) is doubtful for Week 10 against the Ravens.

Higgins did not practice this week and is set to miss Cincinnati’s second matchup with the Ravens. It will be his third game sidelined because of the quad injury. Mike Gesicki has operated as the Bengals’ de facto No. 2 receiver in his absence. The veteran tight end caught five passes for 100 yards and two touchdowns last week. He will remain in the TE1 ranks for a potential shootout with Baltimore. Andrei Iosivas is running plenty of routes sans Higgins but is nothing more than a touchdown-or-bust WR5.
Jonathon Brooks

CAR Running Back #24

Jonathon Brooks (knee) was activated from the reserve/NFI list.

Today was the Panthers’ final day to bring him off the NFI list. He practiced in full last week and was a full-go today as well. All signs point toward the rookie making his NFL debut in Week 10 versus the Giants, though don’t have to make him active if they think he needs more time to recover. Fantasy managers should take a wait-and-see approach with this backfield. In his first game off the ACL tear he suffered in college, Brooks will almost certainly play a backup role to Chuba Hubbard. Brooks will spend a week in the RB5 ranks while Hubbard is no longer a locked-in RB2.
Bryce Young

CAR Quarterback #9

Panthers coach Dave Canales announced Bryce Young will start in Week 10 against the Giants.

Young took over for an injured Andy Dalton two weeks ago and has fared better in his second stint as the Panthers’ starting quarterback this season. He has three touchdowns with as many interceptions and got his first win of the year with an upset over the Saints on Sunday. Dalton may still be the better starter in a vacuum, but Young has done enough to get a third nod in a row as the Panthers wade through the second half of yet another lost season. Fantasy managers can ignore Young as a streaming option versus the Giants this week.
Dallas Goedert

PHI Tight End #88

Dallas Goedert (hamstring) returned to practice on Wednesday.

Goedert went down with a hamstring injury in Week 6 and has not played since. He did not practice at all last week before being ruled out on Friday. A return to practice is a step in the right direction for the veteran tight end. The Eagles win need to see how he progresses throughout the week before we get a better idea of his Week 10 availability. If Goedert is cleared to play against the Cowboys, he will straddle the TE1/2 border.
A.J. Brown

PHI Wide Receiver #11

A.J. Brown (knee) practiced on Wednesday.

We’ll assume it’s a limited session until the Eagles’ final injury report drops. Either way, this is good news for Brown and his fantasy backers. The stud receiver went down with a knee injury on Sunday and did not return. An MRI didn’t reveal any major issues and he is currently considered day to day. Barring a setback, Brown is on track to suit up as a fantasy WR1 versus the Cowboys.
