Texans RB Devin Singletary carried 30 times for 150 yards and a TD in the Week 10 win over the Bengals. The carries and rushing yards were both career highs. Singletary added one catch on two targets for 11 yards, handling 32 of 35 RB opportunities. (Mike Boone got three targets.) We'll see what this backfield looks like when RB Dameon Pierce returns from his ankle injury, but he remained sidelined in practice all this past week and isn't a lock to return for Week 11. Singletary had basically pulled even with Pierce even before the injury and might be the leader of a committee when Pierce returns. Week 11 brings a plus matchup vs. the Cardinals' 28th-ranked RB defense.
Colts RB Jonathan Taylor remained a clear lead-back in Sunday’s win over New England. JT handled 23 of 24 team carries and saw Indy’s only RB target. His lone score came from one yard out on a pitch. Following a Week 11 bye, Taylor will encounter a neutral schedule. The 24-year-old is a firm hold in redraft leagues.
Vikings RB Alexander Mattison sustained a concussion in the second half of Sunday's game vs. the Saints. That leaves Ty Chandler as Minnesota's lead back for the rest of this one -- and likely in Week 11 against Denver. We'll track Mattison's progress through the protocol this coming week.
Seahawks LB Jordyn Brooks (hamstring) is active for today's game against the Commanders. He missed the week's first two practices before returning to a full Friday workout and winding up questionable. Brooks is ready for IDP usage if you waited on him, though.
Saints QB Derek Carr exited Sunday's game vs. the Vikings after taking a big hit in the third quarter. He was replaced by QB Jameis Winston, who promptly completed three straight passes, capped by a TD to WR Chris Olave. We'll look for an update on Carr -- and see how Winston fares.
Update: Carr has been ruled out with a concussion and right shoulder injury
Commanders WR Curtis Samuel (toe) is active for today’s game vs. the Seahawks. He was limited in practice all week and probably still isn’t at 100%. Consider Samuel just a PPR WR4 against a stout Seattle secondary.
Cardinals WR Michael Wilson (shoulder) is active for today’s game vs. the Falcons. The rookie is more intriguing with QB Kyler Murray back under center but would still be a flier in Week 10 fantasy lineups.
Cardinals RB James Conner (knee) is active for today’s game vs. the Falcons. He’s been out since Week 5 and was limited in practice all week, so it’s possible that Conner is on some type of touch count today. But he projects to see enough work to at least be a low-end fantasy starter. See where Conner sits in the Week 10 RB Rankings.
Saints WR Michael Thomas hurt his knee in the first quarter of Sunday's game vs. the Vikings. He's officially questionable to return. We'll update his status when we know more.
Update: Thomas has been ruled out.
Patriots QB Mac Jones was benched for the final drive of Sunday’s loss to the Colts. Bailey Zappe took over and promptly threw a game-ending INT on his seventh attempt. How’d we get here? Well, Jones posted only 170 yards and 1 INT on 15-of-20 passing. He misfired badly on several throws, including one that should have gone for a late score. Jones also took a season-high five sacks. New England will evaluate its QB options during a Week 11 bye. Note that Zappe targeted Demario Douglas four times in today’s limited action. Overall, the Round 6 rookie led the team across the board with 9 targets, 6 catches, and 84 yards. He's the most reliable piece of a bottom-barrel pass offense and should retain some WR3/FLEX value in PPR leagues, especially with Kendrick Bourne out for the year.
Ravens CB Marlon Humphrey (hamstring) is active for today's game against the Browns. He'll carry some re-injury risk and isn't a high-level IDP play. But his presence helps the Baltimore D.
Buccaneers CB Carlton Davis (toe) is inactive for today's game against the Titans. Fellow starting CB Jamel Dean, however, has cleared the concussion protocol and will play. D-linemen Calijah Kancey (quad) and Logan Hall (groin) are active after hitting the day questionable.
Niners DT Javon Hargrave (knee) is active for today's game against the Jaguars. Use him as planned in IDP lineups.
Packers S Rudy Ford (calf) and DT Kenny Clark (shoulder) are active for today's game against the Steelers. Neither is a high-level IDP option, but each is available for deeper lineup spots.
Jaguars S Andre Cisco (hamstring) and CB Tyson Campbell (hamstring) are active for today's game against the 49ers. Use them as planned in your IDP lineups.
Browns RB Pierre Strong (hamstring) is active for today’s game vs. the Ravens. He should continue to serve as the No. 3 RB behind Jerome Ford and Kareem Hunt.
Ravens RB Keaton Mitchell (hamstring) is active for today’s game vs. the Browns. He was added to the injury report on Thursday but put in a full practice on Friday, so we’re not expecting the hamstring to be a problem.
Texans WR Robert Woods (foot) is active for today’s game vs. the Bengals. He was a full participant in Friday's practice, so the foot shouldn’t be a major issue. Woods’ return is good timing with WR Nico Collins out with his calf injury. Woods will join Tank Dell and Noah Brown as Houston’s top three WRs. See where they all sit in the Week 10 WR Rankings.
Vikings TE T.J. Hockenson (ribs) is active for today’s game vs. the Saints. ESPN’s Ed Werder said this morning that Hockenson “won’t play as many snaps as normal but will be on field in key situations.” We’re still expecting him to be out there for most pass plays, so Hockenson is fine to keep in Week 10 fantasy lineups.
Bengals WR Ja'Marr Chase (back) is active for today’s game vs. the Texans. He got in limited practices on Thursday and Friday after suffering what’s been reported as a back bruise in last Sunday night’s win over the Bills. Chase was truly 50/50 for this one, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, and “it's unclear how functional he'll be." Chase did enough in pre-game warmups to get the green light, though. His fantasy floor and ceiling are lower than usual this week, but you’d still need to be loaded at WR to bench him.
