NFL Fantasy Weekly Rankings: Week 10 Value Meter

Week 10 Byes: Cleveland, Green Bay, Las Vegas, Seattle

Welcome to the Weekly Value Meter Rankings. This is a guide to help you decide who to start and sit in a given week. It's is not a season-long ranking nor a draft guide, and it's also not really intended as a free agent guide. While I appreciate that you want my opinion on pickups, every league is different, and your decision on whether to add/drop a particular player might also be dictated by other factors than who is rated higher in a given week.

Here are my operating assumptions for the rankings:

- The RB/WR/TE position rankings are for PPR leagues.- The Flex rankings are for Standard leagues.- 1 point per 10 rushing/receiving yards.- 1 point per 20 passing yards.- 4 points per passing touchdowns.

These are the rankings I use when I make my start/sit decisions. Please consult the rankings first before asking "Should I start Patrick Mahomes or Bryce Young?"

These are my particular rankings. If you want a second opinion elsewhere on the site, you can see our Weekly Projections.

Each week after Week 1, the first set of rankings will be posted late on Tuesday night. I will then do a set of updates before kickoff on Thursday, and again before kickoff on Sunday morning.

When setting your lineups, make sure to refer to the NFL inactives to ensure all of your players are set to receive snaps.

I welcome debate on the rankings in the comments. Please keep it friendly.

Quarterbacks

1.

Jalen Hurts PHI at DAL

2.

Josh Allen BUF at IND

3.

*Lamar Jackson BAL vs. CIN


Note: Jackson (Knee) missed practice Tuesday but should play, plus he was perfect despite missing loads of practice last week. Cleared from the injury list.

4.

Jayden Daniels WAS vs. PIT

5.

*Joe Burrow CIN at BAL


Note: Burrow will be without LT Orlando Brown protecting his blind side.

6.

Brock Purdy SF at TB

7.

Kirk Cousins ATL at NO

8.

*Sam Darnold MIN at JAX


Note: Sunday night should have been a blowout win for the Vikings, but for Arnold's three turnovers, including a fumble that was returned for a touchdown.

9.

*Kyler Murray ARZ vs. NYJ


Note: I'm not sure which was more shocking - Murray's awful fantasy day, or that Arizona won the game against the Bears pulling away anyhow.

10.

*Patrick Mahomes KC vs. DEN


Note: Mahomes initially looked to sprain his left ankle badly on Monday night, but instead later returned and led the Chiefs to the game-winning overtime touchdown. Don't be surprised if he sits out some practice this week. Fully practiced Wednesday.

11.

Matthew Stafford LA vs. MIA

12.

*Justin Herbert LAC vs. TEN


Note: Herbert jumped the Browns early with a couple of early touchdown passes, yet the Chargers still were able to hit another under in the win.

13.

*Jared Goff DET at HOU


Note: Once again, game script limited Goff's production last week. That might end up being the case frequently, though at least this week weather won't be an issue.

14.

Tua Tagovailoa MIA at LAR

15.

Russell Wilson PIT at WAS

16.

C.J. Stroud HOU vs. DET

17.

*Baker Mayfield TB vs. SF


Note: Mayfield (toe) sat out practice Wednesday and Thursday, but he's expected to play this week. ***Mayfield practiced Friday and has been cleared to face the Niners.***

18.

*Caleb Williams CHI vs. NE


Note: Williams injured his ankle on the final play of the Bears' loss against the Cardinals, but afterward he downplayed the seriousness of the injury. Williams has been cleared from the injury list.

19.

*Joe Flacco IND vs. BUF


Note: The Colts are committed to starting Flacco the rest of the way, despite a flaccid performance against the Vikings on Sunday night. However, the Colts rebuffed all trade attempts for Anthony Richardson.

20.

Aaron Rodgers NYJ at ARI

21.

*Drake Maye NE at CHI


Note: We saw both the pluses and minuses associated with the Pats turning to Maye. He bought so much time on the final play in regulation to tie the game, but also threw the game-clinching pick in overtime.

22.

Daniel Jones NYG at CAR

23.

*Cooper Rush DAL vs. PHI


Note: Rush will be the Cowboys' starter with Dak Prescott (hamstring) out; Trey Lance will be the backup.

24.

Derek Carr NO vs. ATL

25.

*Bo Nix DEN at KC


Note: It's only going to get tougher this week for Nix in the passing game, facing the Chiefs at Arrowhead.

26.

*Bryce Young CAR vs. NYG


Note: Young's numbers were unimpressive, but at least he was able to help lead the Panthers to their game-winning drive over the Saints. Young will get the start this week but coach Dave Canales wouldn't commit beyond this week.

27.

*Will Levis TEN at LAC


Note: Levis (shoulder) will increase his workload this week, and the Titans are hopeful that he can return to action this week against the Chargers. Levis fully practiced Thursday, furthering the notion that he might start this week. ***Named the starter against the Chargers.***

28.

*Mac Jones JAC vs. MIN


Note: It now appears likely that Jones will start this week, due to Trevor Lawrence's shoulder injury.

29.

Andy Dalton CAR vs. NYG

30.

*Mason Rudolph TEN at LAC


Note: ***Will Levis will return to starting this week.***

31.

*Trevor Lawrence JAC vs. MIN


Note: Two rushing touchdowns bailed out an otherwise miserable day for Lawrence. National reporters are suggesting that Lawrence (shoulder) will be unable to play. Mac Jones took the first reps in practice Thursday. ***Lawrence is not expected to play.***

32.

*Dak Prescott DAL vs. PHI


Note: Prescott (hamstring) will miss an extended period of time and is a candidate to go on IR. Prescott has been diagnosed with a partial avulsion of his right hamstring and has a 4-to-6 week timetable. ***Dak hasn't been placed on IR yet, but it's looking like it'll happen next week. Surgery is likely, but also hasn't happened yet.***

33.

Jameis Winston CLE at

34.

Jordan Love GB at

35.

Geno Smith SEA at

36.

Gardner Minshew LV at


Running Backs

1.

*Saquon Barkley PHI at DAL


Note: Barkley felt back tightness in the win over the Jaguars, but is expected to be fully available for Sunday's game against the Cowboys. Barkley got a normal rest day Wednesday.

2.

*Derrick Henry BAL vs. CIN


Note: I get that the Bengals mostly bottled up Henry until his long run in overtime, but I think with the short week the Ravens will turn heavily towards him on Thursday night.

3.

Kyren Williams LA vs. MIA

4.

Bijan Robinson ATL at NO

5.

Alvin Kamara NO vs. ATL

6.

Jahmyr Gibbs DET at HOU

7.

Joe Mixon HOU vs. DET

8.

De'Von Achane MIA at LAR

9.

*Christian McCaffrey SF at TB


Note: McCaffrey (Achilles) was designated to return from the IR on Monday and is expected to return against the Bucs. The question is whether he'll be eased in or used in his customary fashion. McCaffrey was limited Wednesday, but felt no residual pain. He's on track to play. ***McCaffrey is officially questionable, but he's going to play - it's just a question of how much.***

10.

James Cook BUF at IND

11.

Breece Hall NYJ at ARI

12.

Aaron Jones MIN at JAX

13.

*James Conner ARZ vs. NYJ


Note: Conner (finger) has had two limited practices so far this week. ***Conner had a full practice Friday and was cleared from the injury list.***

14.

*Jonathan Taylor IND vs. BUF


Note: Taylor really struggled to get going against the Vikings. The running game does appear to be less effective with Joe Flacco at quarterback.

15.

Tyrone Tracy NYG at CAR

16.

D'Andre Swift CHI vs. NE

17.

*Kareem Hunt KC vs. DEN


Note: It's noteworthy that the Chiefs haven't added any other running backs since signing Hunt, showing that they are willing to wait until Pacheco returns to give Hunt a break. Hunt (quad) was able to fully practice Thursday.

18.

J.K. Dobbins LAC vs. TEN

19.

Najee Harris PIT at WAS

20.

David Montgomery DET at HOU

21.

*Chuba Hubbard CAR vs. NYG


Note: If Week 9 was the last week we could start Hubbard, at least he went out with a bang. Jonathon Brooks is expected to debut in Week 10. Hubbard signed a contract extension early Thursday morning.

22.

*Chase Brown CIN at BAL


Note: Brown (ribs) carried a heavy workload in Week 9 against the Raiders and probably will do the same on Thursday night, with newly acquired Khalil Herbert getting up to speed.

23.

*Tony Pollard TEN at LAC


Note: Pollard (foot) didn't practice Thursday after participating in a limited practice Wednesday. He might see fewer reps this week with Tyjae Spears (hamstring) looking ready to return. ***Pollard has been cleared from the injury list.***

24.

Rhamondre Stevenson NE at CHI

25.

*Rachaad White TB vs. SF


Note: White surprisingly logged only six touches against the Chiefs, but one of those was a rushing touchdown at least.

26.

*Austin Ekeler WAS vs. PIT


Note: ***Teammate Brian Robinson (hamstring) has been ruled out.***

27.

Rico Dowdle DAL vs. PHI

28.

*Tank Bigsby JAC vs. MIN


Note: Bigsby and Travis Etienne really cut each other's respective value, albeit in a tough matchup against the Eagles. It doesn't get much easier this week against the Vikings. Like last week, Bigsby (ankle) and Etienne (hamstring) were limited Thursday. This week so was D'Ernest Johnson (hamstring) and it looks as if Trevor Lawrence (left shoulder) won't play. ***Both Bigsby and Etienne have been cleared from the injury list.***

29.

Javonte Williams DEN at KC

30.

*Jordan Mason SF at TB


Note: Mason (shoulder) will likely move a good amount pending the reports on his shoulder, and perhaps if the Niners throw us a crumb of information on how much they plan to use McCaffrey. Full practice Wednesday, but he's still listed as questionable. The Niners confirmed that McCaffrey will make his debut this week. ***Mason has been cleared from the injury list, but McCaffrey will play.***

31.

*Bucky Irving TB vs. SF


Note: Irving (toe) was limited in practice Wednesday and that should be expected each week. ***Irving has been cleared from the injury list.***

32.

*Travis Etienne JAC vs. MIN


Note: Etienne (hamstring) was limited in Thursday's practice, as were Tank Bigsby and D'Ernest Johnson. ***Etienne has been cleared from the injury list, as has Tank Bigsby.***

33.

Ray Davis BUF at IND

34.

*Jonathon Brooks CAR vs. NYG


Note: Brooks (knee) is expected to debut this week. ***Brooks is officially listed as questionable and will come down to the Sunday active/inactive decision.***

35.

*Raheem Mostert MIA at LAR


Note: Mostert lost another fumble in the loss to the Bills.

36.

*Jeremy McNichols WAS vs. PIT


Note: ***Teammate Brian Robinson (hamstring) has been ruled out again, so it'll be Austin Ekeler, McNichols and Chris Rodriguez again this week.***

37.

Tyler Allgeier ATL at NO

38.

Jaylen Warren PIT at WAS

39.

Roschon Johnson CHI vs. NE

40.

*Isaac Guerendo SF at TB

41.

*Chris Rodriguez WAS vs. PIT


Note: ***Rodriguez was signed to the active roster from the practice squad, with Brian Robinson out again.***

42.

Justice Hill BAL vs. CIN

43.

Devin Singletary NYG at CAR

44.

Jaleel McLaughlin DEN at KC

45.

*Tyjae Spears TEN at LAC


Note: Spears (hamstring) fully practiced Thursday and finally looks ready to return to action this week. ***Officially cleared from the injury list.***

46.

Braelon Allen NYJ at ARI

47.

Sean Tucker TB vs. SF

48.

Cam Akers MIN at JAX

49.

*Trey Benson ARZ vs. NYJ


Note: Benson logged his highest second-highest snap share and first rushing touchdown in the win over the Bears, getting extra action in the second quarter when Conner was getting checked for a concussion.

50.

Dare Ogunbowale HOU vs. DET

51.

Jaylen Wright MIA at LAR

52.

Kimani Vidal LAC vs. TEN

53.

*D'Ernest Johnson JAC vs. MIN


Note: Johnson (hamstring) was limited in Thursday's practice. ***Johnson is listed as questionable.***

54.

Miles Sanders CAR vs. NYG

55.

*Khalil Herbert CIN at BAL


Note: Herbert was traded to the Bengals on Tuesday. With the Bengals playing on Thursday night, chances are he won't get too many snaps in Week 10. Herbert will suit up Thursday night.

56.

Ty Johnson BUF at IND

57.

Tyler Goodson IND vs. BUF

58.

*Gus Edwards LAC vs. TEN


Note: ***Edwards (ankle) should return to action this week after a full practice Friday.***

59.

*Antonio Gibson NE at CHI


Note: Gibson played only eight snaps in the loss to the Titans.

60.

Kenneth Gainwell PHI at DAL

61.

Trey Sermon IND vs. BUF

62.

*Keaton Mitchell BAL vs. CIN


Note: Mitchell (ACL) has been activated from the PUP list and will play some on Thursday night.

63.

Blake Corum LA vs. MIA

64.

Ezekiel Elliott DAL vs. PHI

65.

Carson Steele KC vs. DEN

66.

*Ty Chandler MIN at JAX


Note: Chandler was surpassed by Cam Akers on Sunday night as the backup to Aaron Jones.

67.

*Brian Robinson WAS vs. PIT


Note: Robinson (hamstring) was expected to go last week but then didn't feel comfortable in Sunday morning warmups. Robinson has had two limited practices so far this week. Given the setback last week, I'm going to wait to move him back up the rankings. ***Robinson has been ruled out again this week.***

68.

*Jamaal Williams NO vs. ATL


Note: Williams (groin) was limited on Thursday. ***Williams did not practice Friday - he's listed as questionable.***

69.

*Dameon Pierce HOU vs. DET


Note: Pierce (groin) hasn't practiced yet this week. ***Ruled out again this week.***

70.

*Dalvin Cook DAL vs. PHI


Note: ***The Cowboys did not elevate Cook from the practice squad this week.***

71.

*Zack Moss CIN at BAL


Note: Moss's neck injury prompted the Bengals to trade for Khalil Herbert. The Bengals placed Moss on IR on Tuesday.

Wide Receivers

1.

Justin Jefferson MIN at JAX

2.

Ja'Marr Chase CIN at BAL

3.

Amon-Ra St. Brown DET at HOU

4.

Cooper Kupp LA vs. MIA

5.

Terry McLaurin WAS vs. PIT

6.

Garrett Wilson NYJ at ARI

7.

*A.J. Brown PHI at DAL


Note: Brown injured his knee early in the win over the Jaguars. Initial tests on the knee came back clean, and he is day-to-day. Brown returned to a full practice Thursday after a limited practice Wednesday. ***Brown has been cleared from the injury list.***

8.

*CeeDee Lamb DAL vs. PHI


Note: Lamb (shoulder) is considered week-to-week, but he's optimistic about playing this week. I'm leaving Lamb in the rankings instead of putting him at the bottom because he returned to the game. But he gets a downgrade both due to his injury and because of Dak Prescott's injury. Lamb has had two limited practices so far this week. ***Lamb has been cleared from the injury report.***

9.

Malik Nabers NYG at CAR

10.

Davante Adams NYJ at ARI

11.

*Puka Nacua LA vs. MIA


Note: Nacua was ejected for throwing a punch just before halftime.

12.

Khalil Shakir BUF at IND

13.

*Drake London ATL at NO


Note: London suffered a hip pointer in the win over the Cowboys, and coach Raheem Morris said it's a pain-tolerance issue for London. ***London had three limited practices, but he's expected to play.***

14.

*DeVonta Smith PHI at DAL


Note: Smith (hamstring) sat out Wednesday but returned to a limited practice Thursday. ***Smith had a full practice Friday and was cleared from the injury report.***

15.

George Pickens PIT at WAS

16.

*Deebo Samuel SF at TB


Note: Samuel (rib/oblique) has been limited in practice so far this week. ***Deebo is listed as questionable, though he practiced without a no-contact jersey Friday.***

17.

*Nico Collins HOU vs. DET


Note: ***Collins (hamstring) was activated from IR on Saturday by the Texans, and he's officially listed as questionable.***

18.

*Josh Downs IND vs. BUF


Note: Downs was the Colts' leading pass-catcher in the loss to the Vikings, despite playing only 25 snaps.

19.

*Tyreek Hill MIA at LAR


Note: ***Hill (wrist) popped up on the injury report on Friday, and sat out both Friday and Saturday's practice. The Dolphins were noncommittal about Hill's status for Monday night.***

20.

Darnell Mooney ATL at NO

21.

*DeAndre Hopkins KC vs. DEN


Note: Hopkins was unleashed on Monday night against the Bucs, but he'll face tougher coverage this week against the Broncos.

22.

Zay Flowers BAL vs. CIN

23.

Marvin Harrison ARZ vs. NYJ

24.

Calvin Ridley TEN at LAC

25.

DJ Moore CHI vs. NE

26.

Courtland Sutton DEN at KC

27.

*Tank Dell HOU vs. DET


Note: ***Dell popped up on the injury report Friday with a back injury and is listed as questionable.***

28.

Jordan Addison MIN at JAX

29.

*Jauan Jennings SF at TB


Note: I'm presuming that Jennings (hip) returns this week. Jennings has been limited so far in practice this week - not a great sign after having a bye week to rest and recover. Too bad, because it's such a great matchup against the Bucs. ***Jennings upgraded his practice participation over the course of the week and has been cleared from the injury report.***

30.

*Jaylen Waddle MIA at LAR


Note: On one hand, at least Waddle scored, but he also wasn't targeted until late in the fourth quarter, and then got saddled with a 23-yard loss for his part in the Dolphins' final lateral play.

31.

*Xavier Legette CAR vs. NYG


Note: Legette briefly left last week's game with a hand injury.

32.

*Brian Thomas JAC vs. MIN


Note: Thomas (chest) was able to play against the Eagles but managed just two catches on four targets in the loss. ***Thomas was limited all week and is listed as questionable. It's similar to last week, and he drew praise from coach Doug Pederson for his toughness.***

33.

Ladd McConkey LAC vs. TEN

34.

*Nick Westbrook-Ikhine TEN at LAC


Note: Westbrook-Ikhine scored for the fourth week in a row against the Pats.

35.

Alec Pierce IND vs. BUF

36.

Diontae Johnson BAL vs. CIN

37.

Jalen Coker CAR vs. NYG

38.

Rome Odunze CHI vs. NE

39.

Jalen Tolbert DAL vs. PHI

40.

Keenan Allen CHI vs. NE

41.

*Amari Cooper BUF at IND


Note: ***Cooper (wrist) is listed as questionable after having three limited practices this week.***

42.

*Demarcus Robinson LA vs. MIA


Note: Robinson netted two touchdowns, including a slick one-handed catch for the game-winner. He benefited from Puka Nacua getting kicked out just before halftime. Robinson (toe) was rested for Thursday's practice, the Rams' first practice of the week. He's expected to be fine for Monday night. ***Robinson was cleared from the injury report on Saturday.***

43.

Michael Wilson ARZ vs. NYJ

44.

Quentin Johnston LAC vs. TEN

45.

Noah Brown WAS vs. PIT

46.

Van Jefferson PIT at WAS

47.

DeMario Douglas NE at CHI

48.

Rashod Bateman BAL vs. CIN

49.

*Sterling Shepard TB vs. SF


Note: Shepard (hamstring/hip) did not practice Thursday. ***Shepard managed only one limited practice this week on Friday, but that was enough for the Bucs to clear him from the injury report.***

50.

Parker Washington JAC vs. MIN

51.

*Jameson Williams DET at HOU


Note: Williams has served his suspension, but the Lions have a roster exemption in order to ease him back in. ***Williams' roster exemption has been lifted.***

52.

Devaughn Vele DEN at KC

53.

Troy Franklin DEN at KC

54.

*Wan'Dale Robinson NYG at CAR


Note: Robinson had a touchdown overturned due to a penalty in the loss to the Commanders.

55.

Joshua Palmer LAC vs. TEN

56.

*Mack Hollins BUF at IND


Note: ***Hollins (shoulder) could be in line for more snaps with Keon Coleman out.***

57.

Ricky Pearsall SF at TB

58.

*Mason Tipton NO vs. ATL


Note: ***Chris Olave (concussion) is on IR, and Cedrick Wilson (shoulder) is out this week. So Tipton, Marquez Valdes-Scantling and Jermaine Jackson are the Saints' active wide receivers.***

59.

Kalif Raymond DET at HOU

60.

*Xavier Worthy KC vs. DEN


Note: The first quarter was brutal for Worthy on Monday night - his long catch was negated by him barely stepping out of bounds while wide open, and he lost 10 yards on a run.

61.

Kayshon Boutte NE at CHI

62.

Tim Patrick DET at HOU

63.

Ray-Ray McCloud ATL at NO

64.

*Gabe Davis JAC vs. MIN


Note: ***Davis (shoulder) is questionable after a limited practice Friday, and there's some optimism from coach Doug Pederson that Davis will be able to play.***

65.

*Mike Williams PIT at WAS


Note: Williams was traded to the Steelers before Tuesday's deadline. We'll see how quickly he gets integrated into the offense.

66.

*Xavier Gipson NYJ at ARI


Note: Gipson and Malachi Corley are the top candidates to be the Jets' third receiver with Mike Williams traded to the Steelers.

67.

Xavier Hutchinson HOU vs. DET

68.

Tutu Atwell LA vs. MIA

69.

Andrei Iosivas CIN at BAL

70.

*Greg Dortch ARZ vs. NYJ


Note: Dortch only had one target in the win over the Bears. He needs a game flow where the Cardinals are trailing to have much value.

71.

John Metchie HOU vs. DET

72.

Ja'Lynn Polk NE at CHI

73.

DJ Chark LAC vs. TEN

74.

*Adonai Mitchell IND vs. BUF


Note: ***Mitchell should get more snaps this week with Michael Pittman (back) ruled out.***

75.

*Jermaine Burton CIN at BAL


Note: Burton is active this week after last week's debacle leading to his deactivation. The Bengals could really use him as a deep threat.

76.

Olamide Zaccheaus WAS vs. PIT

77.

*Jonathan Mingo DAL vs. PHI


Note: Traded to the Cowboys on Tuesday.

78.

*Jalen McMillan TB vs. SF


Note: McMillan (hamstring) had to sit out Monday night. McMillan still hasn't practiced this week. ***McMillan managed a limited practice Friday and is listed as questionable - it's noteworthy that Sterling Shepard had a similar practice scheme was cleared from the injury report.***

79.

*Keon Coleman BUF at IND


Note: Coleman (wrist) is scheduled to have an MRI on his injured wrist. ***Coleman has been ruled out for this week and could miss time beyond this week.***

80.

*Darius Slayton NYG at CAR


Note: Slayton was placed in the concussion protocol following the Giants' loss to the Commanders. ***Slayton has been ruled out this week and didn't make the trip to Germany.***

81.

*Michael Pittman IND vs. BUF


Note: Pittman (back) was held to one catch in the loss to the Vikings, perhaps the biggest disappointment of Week 9. ***Pittman has been ruled out this week.***

82.

*Tee Higgins CIN at BAL


Note: Higgins (quad) still hasn't practiced since suffering his injury, including two missed practices this week. Officially inactive again this week.

83.

*JuJu Smith-Schuster KC vs. DEN


Note: ***Smith-Schuster (hamstring) has been ruled out this week.***

84.

*Adam Thielen CAR vs. NYG


Note: Thielen surprisingly was not traded, whereas teammates Diontae Johnson and Jonathan Mingo were dealt. ***Thielen has been ruled out again this week, which might explain why the Panthers didn't trade him.***

85.

*Mike Evans TB vs. SF

86.

*Chris Olave NO vs. ATL


Note: Olave suffered another concussion early in the loss to the Panthers. ***Olave was placed on IR by the Saints and will be out at least until December.***

Note: Barkley felt back tightness in the win over the Jaguars, but is expected to be fully available for Sunday's game against the Cowboys. Barkley got a normal rest day Wednesday.

3.

*Derrick Henry BAL vs. CIN


Note: I get that the Bengals mostly bottled up Henry until his long run in overtime, but I think with the short week the Ravens will turn heavily towards him on Thursday night.

*Christian McCaffrey SF at TB


Note: McCaffrey (Achilles) was designated to return from the IR on Monday and is expected to return against the Bucs. The question is whether he'll be eased in or used in his customary fashion. McCaffrey was limited Wednesday, but felt no residual pain. He's on track to play. ***McCaffrey is officially questionable, but he's going to play - it's just a question of how much.***

Aaron Jones MIN at JAX

George Kittle SF at TB

20.

*A.J. Brown PHI at DAL


Note: Brown injured his knee early in the win over the Jaguars. Initial tests on the knee came back clean, and he is day-to-day. Brown returned to a full practice Thursday after a limited practice Wednesday. ***Brown has been cleared from the injury list.***

21.

Malik Nabers NYG at CAR

22.

*Tyreek Hill MIA at LAR


Note: ***Hill (wrist) popped up on the injury report on Friday, and sat out both Friday and Saturday's practice. The Dolphins were noncommittal about Hill's status for Monday night.***

23.

*James Conner ARZ vs. NYJ


Note: Conner (finger) has had two limited practices so far this week. ***Conner had a full practice Friday and was cleared from the injury list.***

24.

*Jonathan Taylor IND vs. BUF


Note: Taylor really struggled to get going against the Vikings. The running game does appear to be less effective with Joe Flacco at quarterback.

25.

Tyrone Tracy NYG at CAR

26.

Evan Engram JAC vs. MIN

27.

Davante Adams NYJ at ARI

28.

*Puka Nacua LA vs. MIA


Note: Nacua was ejected for throwing a punch just before halftime.

29.

*CeeDee Lamb DAL vs. PHI


Note: Lamb (shoulder) is considered week-to-week, but he's optimistic about playing this week. I'm leaving Lamb in the rankings instead of putting him at the bottom because he returned to the game. But he gets a downgrade both due to his injury and because of Dak Prescott's injury. Lamb has had two limited practices so far this week. ***Lamb has been cleared from the injury report.***

30.

*DeVonta Smith PHI at DAL


Note: Smith (hamstring) sat out Wednesday but returned to a limited practice Thursday. ***Smith had a full practice Friday and was cleared from the injury report.***

31.

*Deebo Samuel SF at TB


Note: Samuel (rib/oblique) has been limited in practice so far this week. ***Deebo is listed as questionable, though he practiced without a no-contact jersey Friday.***

32.

Trey McBride ARZ vs. NYJ

33.

Cade Otton TB vs. SF

34.

George Pickens PIT at WAS

35.

Khalil Shakir BUF at IND

36.

Travis Kelce KC vs. DEN

37.

D'Andre Swift CHI vs. NE

38.

*Kareem Hunt KC vs. DEN


Note: It's noteworthy that the Chiefs haven't added any other running backs since signing Hunt, showing that they are willing to wait until Pacheco returns to give Hunt a break. Hunt (quad) was able to fully practice Thursday.

39.

Darnell Mooney ATL at NO

40.

*Josh Downs IND vs. BUF


Note: Downs was the Colts' leading pass-catcher in the loss to the Vikings, despite playing only 25 snaps.

41.

*DeAndre Hopkins KC vs. DEN


Note: Hopkins was unleashed on Monday night against the Bucs, but he'll face tougher coverage this week against the Broncos.

42.

Zay Flowers BAL vs. CIN

43.

J.K. Dobbins LAC vs. TEN

44.

Najee Harris PIT at WAS

45.

*Tony Pollard TEN at LAC


Note: Pollard (foot) didn't practice Thursday after participating in a limited practice Wednesday. He might see fewer reps this week with Tyjae Spears (hamstring) looking ready to return. ***Pollard has been cleared from the injury list.***

46.

*Tank Dell HOU vs. DET


Note: ***Dell popped up on the injury report Friday with a back injury and is listed as questionable.***

47.

Marvin Harrison ARZ vs. NYJ

48.

David Montgomery DET at HOU

49.

*Chuba Hubbard CAR vs. NYG


Note: If Week 9 was the last week we could start Hubbard, at least he went out with a bang. Jonathon Brooks is expected to debut in Week 10. Hubbard signed a contract extension early Thursday morning.

50.

*Chase Brown CIN at BAL


Note: Brown (ribs) carried a heavy workload in Week 9 against the Raiders and probably will do the same on Thursday night, with newly acquired Khalil Herbert getting up to speed.

51.

Calvin Ridley TEN at LAC

52.

DJ Moore CHI vs. NE

53.

*Jauan Jennings SF at TB


Note: I'm presuming that Jennings (hip) returns this week. Jennings has been limited so far in practice this week - not a great sign after having a bye week to rest and recover. Too bad, because it's such a great matchup against the Bucs. ***Jennings upgraded his practice participation over the course of the week and has been cleared from the injury report.***

54.

*Michael Pittman IND vs. BUF


Note: Pittman (back) was held to one catch in the loss to the Vikings, perhaps the biggest disappointment of Week 9. ***Pittman has been ruled out this week.***

55.

Jake Ferguson DAL vs. PHI

56.

Mark Andrews BAL vs. CIN

57.

Rhamondre Stevenson NE at CHI

58.

Courtland Sutton DEN at KC

59.

Jordan Addison MIN at JAX

60.

*Rachaad White TB vs. SF


Note: White surprisingly logged only six touches against the Chiefs, but one of those was a rushing touchdown at least.

61.

*Austin Ekeler WAS vs. PIT


Note: ***Teammate Brian Robinson (hamstring) has been ruled out.***

62.

Rico Dowdle DAL vs. PHI

63.

*Tank Bigsby JAC vs. MIN


Note: Bigsby and Travis Etienne really cut each other's respective value, albeit in a tough matchup against the Eagles. It doesn't get much easier this week against the Vikings. Like last week, Bigsby (ankle) and Etienne (hamstring) were limited Thursday. This week so was D'Ernest Johnson (hamstring) and it looks as if Trevor Lawrence (left shoulder) won't play. ***Both Bigsby and Etienne have been cleared from the injury list.***

64.

*Jaylen Waddle MIA at LAR


Note: On one hand, at least Waddle scored, but he also wasn't targeted until late in the fourth quarter, and then got saddled with a 23-yard loss for his part in the Dolphins' final lateral play.

65.

*Xavier Legette CAR vs. NYG


Note: Legette briefly left last week's game with a hand injury.

66.

*Brian Thomas JAC vs. MIN


Note: Thomas (chest) was able to play against the Eagles but managed just two catches on four targets in the loss. ***Thomas was limited all week and is listed as questionable. It's similar to last week, and he drew praise from coach Doug Pederson for his toughness.***

67.

Ladd McConkey LAC vs. TEN

68.

*Nick Westbrook-Ikhine TEN at LAC


Note: Westbrook-Ikhine scored for the fourth week in a row against the Pats.

69.

Diontae Johnson BAL vs. CIN

70.

Dalton Kincaid BUF at IND

71.

T.J. Hockenson MIN at JAX

72.

Javonte Williams DEN at KC

73.

*Bucky Irving TB vs. SF


Note: Irving (toe) was limited in practice Wednesday and that should be expected each week. ***Irving has been cleared from the injury list.***

74.

*Travis Etienne JAC vs. MIN


Note: Etienne (hamstring) was limited in Thursday's practice, as were Tank Bigsby and D'Ernest Johnson. ***Etienne has been cleared from the injury list, as has Tank Bigsby.***

75.

Ray Davis BUF at IND

76.

Jalen Coker CAR vs. NYG

77.

Rome Odunze CHI vs. NE

78.

Jalen Tolbert DAL vs. PHI

79.

Alec Pierce IND vs. BUF

80.

*Demarcus Robinson LA vs. MIA


Note: Robinson netted two touchdowns, including a slick one-handed catch for the game-winner. He benefited from Puka Nacua getting kicked out just before halftime. Robinson (toe) was rested for Thursday's practice, the Rams' first practice of the week. He's expected to be fine for Monday night. ***Robinson was cleared from the injury report on Saturday.***

81.

*Sterling Shepard TB vs. SF


Note: Shepard (hamstring/hip) did not practice Thursday. ***Shepard managed only one limited practice this week on Friday, but that was enough for the Bucs to clear him from the injury report.***
