  • ATL Safety #23

    Falcons S DeMarcco Hellams exited Preseason Week 1 against the Dolphins with a left-leg injury.
    Hellams was carted from the field with an air cast applied to his left leg. Although he recently lost out to Richie Grant in the competition for the Falcons’ No. 2 safety role, Hellams remained a capable rotational defender. He played 249 coverage snaps last season without giving up an explosive pass play (15-plus yards) when in primary coverage.
  • HOU Wide Receiver #3

    Tank Dell (back) is expected to play against the Lions in Week 10, according to Aaron Wilson of KPRC Houston.
    Dell was added to the injury report on Friday, but still got in a limited practice. Wilson notes that Nico Collins’ status with his hamstring is still to be determined and the Texans are prepared to play with Dell as the WR1 again this week if Collins can’t go.
  • MIA Wide Receiver #10
    Dolphins Head Coach Mike McDaniel told reporters Tyreek Hill (wrist) is doing everything possible to play in Week 10 against the Rams.
    McDaniel added that “we’ll see” and wouldn’t say he’s optimistic or pessimistic. Hill popped up on the injury report and missed practice with the wrist injury on Friday. The Dolphins have an extra day before their matchup against the Rams on Monday Night Football. Unfortunately, it looks like Hill will need the extra time in order to have a chance to play this week. For fantasy managers, the timing is less than ideal as Hill’s status is unlikely to be determined before kickoff Sunday.
  • NO Wide Receiver #12
    Chris Olave (concussion) is expected to be placed on injured reserve, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.
    Olave has already been ruled out for Week 10 against the Falcons. Rapoport notes that the move to IR is expected to become official later today. That puts Olave on the shelf for at least four games. Rapoport even speculated that given the nature of the injury and the team’s record, Olave’s season could already be over. Olave was placed on a backboard and carted off the field after he suffered his second concussion of the season and fifth documented concussion of his football-playing career in Week 9 against the Panthers.
  • LAR Guard #72
    Rams G Jonah Jackson (shoulder) practiced in full on Thursday.
    The Rams’ offensive line is quietly trending toward a midseason turnaround after operating as one of the league’s worst units early on. Hopefully, Jackson can stack another full practice on Saturday and suit up for the first time since Week 2. Fellow OL Steve Avila (knee) likewise practiced in full on Thursday.
  • LAR Wide Receiver #88
    Jordan Whittington (shoulder) practiced in full on Thursday.
    Whittington is trending toward a Week 10 return from his multi-week shoulder injury. Demarcus Robinson’s hot streak likely relegates the promising rookie to that of a bench stash though.
  • LAR Wide Receiver #15
    Demarcus Robinson (toe/hip) was limited in Friday’s practice.
    Robinson has scored five touchdowns over his last four games, somewhat inflating his fantasy-scoring potential; he is averaging just 1.23 yards per route run during that span, which more accurately reflects his expected weekly productivity. That said, a capable player in a high-end passing offense remains WR3/4-viable, particularly with four teams on bye.
  • CAR Running Back #24
    Jonathon Brooks (knee) is questionable for Week 10 against the Giants.
    Brooks was activated from the reserve/NFI list this week and practiced in full during all three sessions. Still, head coach Dave Canales was non-committal on his status for Week 10. The good news is that fantasy managers will get to see Carolina’s inactives before every game other than Thursday’s kicks off. The bad news is that’s because the Panthers take on the Giants in Germany for a game kicking off bright and early stateside. Playing in his first game in nearly a year, Brooks will be eased back into the lineup this week if he plays at all. Fantasy managers wanting to get their full eight hours of sleep should just keep Brooks on the bench.
  • CAR Tight End #0
    Ja’Tavion Sanders (wrist/ankle) was removed from the injury report and will play in Week 10 against the Giants.
    Sanders was back in action on Friday, practicing in full with the rest of his Panthers’ teammates. The enticing rookie tight end is averaging 2.43 yards per route run over the last three weeks and the Giants’ tight end-coverage unit is among the league’s worst. He is firmly on the streaming TE1 radar.
  • KC Running Back #29
    Kareem Hunt (quad) was removed from the injury report and will play in Week 10 against the Broncos.
    Hunt’s inclusion on the injury report is seemingly a formality at this point. He regularly takes it easy during the practice week before suiting up come game day. This is just the Chiefs smartly managing the 29-year-old’s repetitions. He is an RB2.
  • KC Wide Receiver #17
    Mecole Hardman (shoulder/knee) was removed from the injury report and will play in Week 10 against the Broncos.
    Hardman got banged up in Week 9 but returned to catch three passes for 17 yards. The gadget receiver will continue seeing a handful of schemed touches a week but is not on the fantasy radar heading into Week 10.
