Here is an accumulation of potential Week 10 NFL inactives and players that have recently been ruled out. These are players that are questionable or worse heading into the week. Make sure you stay as up-to-date as possible, as some of these will carry over all the way up to game time on Sunday or Monday. Once again, good luck with your matchups!
Say what?! Your fantasy football league isn’t hosted on Fantrax? Unthinkable! Check out all the features Fantrax has to offer, and we think you’ll be singing a different tune for next season.
Week 10 NFL Inactives
Houston Texans at Cleveland Browns
OUT – David Johnson (RB) ARI – Concussion
After suffering a concussion in last week’s game, Johnson could not get through the concussion protocol this week in practice. Duke Johnson could have a huge workload in his absence, but I would expect Deshaun Watson and the receiving core benefit the most from a fantasy perspective.
INJURED RESERVE – Nick Chubb (RB) CLE – Knee
Chubb is still waiting for clearance to return after having missed five weeks with a knee injury. He not only practiced this week, but he also practiced without his knee brace at the end of the week. Chubb was lighting the world on fire through his first four games, so his return would bolster many rosters that own the talented running back.
Washington Football Team at Detroit Lions
OUT – Kyle Allen (QB) WAS – Ankle
After suffering an ankle dislocation, Kyle Allen will now miss the rest of the season recovering from his unfortunate injury. Alex Smith will be given the reigns as the team’s starting quarterback the rest of the season.
OUT – Kenny Golladay (WR) DET – Hip
Ugh. Another week, another game missed by Kenny Golladay. This seems like a lost season for Detroit’s top receiver who was drafted very early in drafts this year.
QUESTIONABLE – T.J. Hockenson (TE) DET – Toe
Hockenson got in a practice on Friday after missing Thursday’s practice with a toe injury. That should be a good sign for his Week 10 status. However, make sure to pay close attention before Detroit’s 1:00 PM ET kickoff.
Jacksonville Jaguars at Green Bay Packers
OUT – Laviska Shenault Jr. (WR) JAX – Hamstring
The talented rookie wide receiver will miss Week 10 with a hamstring injury. The good news is he did get in limited practices, which should pave the way for a Week 11 return.
INJURED RESERVE – Allen Lazard (WR) GB – Core
Lazard still hasn’t been activated following surgery to his core area in Week 3. However he is close to a return, and this could be the week we see him. He would be a much-needed boost to a receiving core that doesn’t have much outside of Davante Adams.
QUESTIONABLE – Robert Tonyan (TE) GB – Ankle
The Packers tight end was limited on Thursday, and then he was held out of practice on Friday. That’s not a good trend for his Week 10 status. His absence could mean the definitive return of the aforementioned Allen Lazard.
Philadelphia Eagles at New York Giants
*The Philadelphia Eagles do not have any significant fantasy players on the injury report*
INJURED RESERVE – Devonta Freeman (RB) NYG – Ankle
In an unfortunate turn of events, the Giants lead back will now miss a minimum of three more weeks due to his ankle injury. In his absence, continue to fire up Wayne Gallman as a borderline RB2.
QUESTIONABLE – Golden Tate (WR) NYG – Knee
Tate hasn’t been very fantasy-relevant the entire season and is coming off a healthy inactive in Week 9. He obviously is frustrated with how he is being treated. At 32 (I’m 32 as well Golden, don’t feel bad), his better days may be behind him regardless if he plays or not.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Carolina Panthers
*The Tampa Bay Buccaneers do not have any significant fantasy players on the injury report*
OUT – Christian McCaffrey (RB) CAR – Shoulder
DANGIT!!! We had the game’s best fantasy player back for one week before he got injured again. This is a week to week injury, meaning he probably misses Week 11 as well.
Denver Broncos at Las Vegas Raiders
QUESTIONABLE – Jerry Jeudy (WR) DEN – Shoulder
Jeudy got in a limited practice on Friday, and head coach Vic Fangio does expect him to play this week. If Jeudy can’t go for any reason, K.J. Hamler would see a massive upgrade in his fantasy outlook.
*The Las Vegas Raiders do not have any significant fantasy players on the injury report*
Los Angeles Chargers at Miami Dolphins
OUT – Justin Jackson (RB) LAC – Knee
Jackson will miss Week 11 after being injured in pre-game warmups last week. Expect to see some form of Joshua Kelley, Troymaine Pope, and Kalan Ballage. Ballage had a big game last week and looked really good while doing it.
QUESTIONABLE – Matt Breida (RB) MIA – Hamstring
Breida got in limited practices at the end of the week, making his status for Week 10 brighter. Whether or not he plays, this is one of the ugliest running back situations in the league. Breida would probably see slightly more touches than normal, but I would still expect Jordan Howard, Salvon Ahmed, and DeAndre Washington to garner touches as well.
INJURED RESERVE – Preston Williams (WR) MIA – Foot
After being carted off the field last week, Williams was placed on the injured reserve and will miss the next three weeks at best. This will be interesting to see who benefits from this in terms of fantasy. DeVante Parker could be a target hog, but I believe this benefits Mike Gesicki, who has had a very disappointing season.
Buffalo Bills at Arizona Cardinals
*The Buffalo Bills do not have any significant fantasy players on the injury report*
QUESTIONABLE – Kenyan Drake (RB) ARI – Ankle
Drake has been practicing all week, putting him on the right side of questionable. If he plays, it will be interesting to see how he is used in what should be a shootout. Chase Edmonds is still the preferred back in terms of PPR leagues.
Seattle Seahawks at Los Angeles Rams
*The Seattle Seahawks do not have any significant fantasy players on the injury report*
*The Los Angeles Rams do not have any significant fantasy players on the injury report*
San Francisco 49ers at New Orleans Saints
INJURED RESERVE – Raheem Mostert (RB) SF – Ankle
OUT – Deebo Samuel (WR) SF – Hamstring
OUT – Tevin Coleman (RB) SF – Knee
Once again we have to group the 49ers injured starters all in one because they can’t seem to stop getting hurt. Mostert has been ruled out in Week 10, as well as his other two teammates mentioned above. This opens the door for Jerick McKinnon to have a larger workload, putting him in RB2 territory. However the Saints defense seems to get better in the second half of the season every year, and the 49ers could be in for a long day.
*The New Orleans Saints do not have any significant fantasy players on the injury report*
Cincinnati Bengals at Pittsburgh Steelers
DOUBTFUL – Joe Mixon (RB) CIN – Foot
Mixon should already likely be ruled out from all reports, especially after not practicing all week. He has missed the last two games, and once again will cede to Giovanni Bernard. Bernard doesn’t get an easy matchup, but he should be given enough of a workload to claim RB2 status.
COVID-19 list- Ben Roethlisberger (QB) PIT – Illness
As we have seen multiple times this week, a teams starting quarterback seems to test positive at the beginning of the week, then has multiple negative tests and plays that weekend. Roethlisberger looks likely to suit up, and has a juicy Week 10 matchup against the Bengals.
Baltimore Ravens at New England Patriots
QUESTIONABLE – Mark Ingram (RB) BAL – Ankle
Ingram returned to practice in full capacity on Friday, and now looks likely to play on Sunday night. If he plays, there should be little confidence in the type of performance he will have, as this is an ugly three-headed backfield (four if you include Lamar Jackson).
QUESTIONABLE – Damien Harris (RB) NE – Chest
INJURED RESERVE – Sony Michel (RB) NE – Quadriceps
Damien Harris took a big hit on Monday Night Football and is listed as questionable as a result. He has got in limited practices, so he should play. The ultimate question is do we see the return of Sony Michel, and what will be the result if he does suit up? This has the potential to destroy both players’ values, where it will leave fantasy managers guessing every week who will receive more carries.
QUESTIONABLE – N’Keal Harry (WR) NE – Concussion
Harry practiced this week in limited capacity, and he should be ready to go on Sunday night. It may not matter, as Cam Newton has struggled through the air. Harry has also struggled to get separation, and they go against the high-powered Baltimore Ravens defense.
Minnesota Vikings at Chicago Bears
*The Minnesota Vikings do not have any significant fantasy players on the injury report*
QUESTIONABLE – Allen Robinson (WR) CHI – Knee
Robinson was limited all week, but the fact they are playing on Monday gives him a better outlook. Robinson has turned into a target monster in a depleted offense and is a locked-in low-WR1/high-WR2.
QUESTIONABLE – David Montgomery (RB) CHI – Concussion
Concussions are never predictable, so Montgomery owners need to pay close attention to his Saturday practice report. If he doesn’t practice, I would not expect him to play in Week 10. The second-year back has not stood a chance this year behind one of the leagues worst offensive lines. That likely isn’t changing this year, as he has the ceiling of an RB2. If he misses time, it is a complete unknown who benefits the most.
