Primed for a Bounce-Back
Christian Kirk is primed for a bounce-back spot after a disappointing Week 9 performance in a tough matchup against the 49ers. Most importantly, Kirk left that game without a setback and is now three weeks removed from an ankle injury that hindered him out for the majority of the first half of the season. Kirk’s Week 10 matchup is significantly better against a Tampa Bay defense that ranks 26th in pass-defense DVOA and has allowed the most fantasy points per game to the WR position this season.
Unrivaled Floor
Quarterback is typically the position I am most willing to sacrifice in order to make a lineup work but I’ll be making Lamar Jackson a priority this week. Jackson’s matchup against the Bengals is obviously good as he ran all over Cincinnati back in Week 6 for 152 yards and a touchdown. While it’s tough to rely on that sort of rushing production on a weekly basis, Jackson’s rushing ability gives him a strong fantasy floor that is unrivaled at the QB position.
Dwayne Haskins Expected to Start vs Jets After Bye Week
The Redskins have not made it official, but it is reported that Haskins will get the start for the Redskins when they return from their bye week.
As reported by: Mike Garafolo Other tagged players: Case Keenum
James Conner (Shoulder) Limited in Practice Wednesday
Conner was able to practice in a limited fashion Wednesday, a good sign for his chances of playing Sunday. Jaylen Samuels’ value would be significantly lower if Conner plays.
As reported by: Brian Batko Other tagged players: Jaylen Samuels Adam Thielen (Hamstring) Does Not Practice Wednesday
Thielen continues to look unlikely to play this week, sitting out practice Wednesday.
As reported by: David Helman Other tagged players: Stefon Diggs, Kirk Cousins Amari Cooper (Knee/Ankle) Limited in Practice Wednesday
Cooper was limited in practice Wednesday, but should still be expected to play this week.
As reported by: David Helman Redskins Activate Derrius Guice to 53-Man Roster
Guice has been activated to the 53-man roster, meaning he will be back for the Redskins after their bye week.
As reported by: Field Yates Other tagged players: Adrian Peterson Patrick Mahomes (Knee) Full Participant in Practice Wednesday
Mahomes appears on track to start this week, although nothing is official at this point. If Mahomes makes it through this week of practice, he will start Sunday and push Moore back to the bench.
As reported by: Herbie Teope Other tagged players: Matt Moore Jared Cook (Ankle) and Tre'Quan Smith (Ankle) Practice Fully Wednesday
Cook and Smith both appear ready to return to action this week after practicing fully Wednesday. Both had been out prior to the Saints’ bye week.
As reported by: Mike Triplett Other tagged players: Tre'Quan Smith Alvin Kamara (Knee/Ankle), Josh Hill (Calf) Limited in Practice Wednesday
Kamara is progressing in his return, practicing in a limited fashion Wednesday. His status this week is still in question.
As reported by: Mike Triplett Other tagged players: Josh Hill Davante Adams (Toe), Marquez Valdes-Scantling (Ankle/Knee) and Robert Tonyan (Hip) Limited in Practice Wednesday
The limited designation means all three players could play this week for the Packers. Adams made his return last week from a turf toe injury, finishing with 7 catches for 41 yards. The Packers are likely to give him plenty of rest during practice until he is fully healed.
As reported by: Matt Schneidman Other tagged players: Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Robert Tonyan Ito Smith Clears Concussion Protocol, Has Neck Injury
Smith has cleared the concussion protocol, but he was unable to practice Wednesday with a neck injury. The extent of the injury isn’t know, but his status is in question for this week.
As reported by: Vaughn McClure O.J. Howard (Hamstring), Cameron Brate (Ribs) Both Full Participants on Estimated Practice Report Wednesday
The Bucs are starting to get healthy at TE, with both O.J. Howard and Cameron Brate practicing fully Wednesday. From a fantasy perspective, having both TEs healthy again will split up the targets.
As reported by: Greg Auman Other tagged players: Cameron Brate Brandin Cooks (Concussion) Ruled Out Sunday
Cooks has been ruled out for Sunday with a concussion. He is also seeing a specialist this week, and his long-term status is in question for the Rams.
As reported by: Lindsey Thiry Le’Veon Bell (Knee/Ankle) Does Not Practice; Chris Herndon (Hamstring), Demaryius Thomas (Hamstring) Both Limited Wednesday
As expected, Bell did not practice Wednesday. Herndon and Thomas were both limited, and all three players have a chance to play this week.
