[[youtube]​]()[[podcast]​]()[[spotify]​](=) ​ [] 1. ARI: Kyler Murray to start [Source: NFL Network - Ian Rapoport]() Arizona Cardinals QB Kyler Murray (knee) will start in Week 10 against the Atlanta Falcons. Our view: We'll be interested to see how Murray looks in the team's new offense. Murray is a playmaker, and Fantasy GMs can easily see the QB1 upside because of his rushing ability. [Back to Top](#top) [] 2. NYG: Tommy DeVito to start [Source: Giants.com - Dan Salomone]( New York Giants QB Tommy DeVito was named the starter for Week 10. QB Matt Barkley, who was signed to the active roster Wednesday, Nov. 8, will be the backup. Our view: DeVito gets in with Daniel Jones and Tyrod Taylor out of action. He's a limited quarterback, so downgrade all Giants skill position players. We should see as much of RB Saquon Barkley as possible, but defenses know that and will plan to stop him as their primary weapon. [Back to Top](#top) = = ​ [] 3. CHI: Justin Fields doubtful [Source: Chicago Bears PR](=) Chicago Bears QB Justin Fields (thumb) was limited in practice for the third straight day on Wednesday, Nov. 8, and is listed as doubtful for Week 10. Our view: Check to see how things look before the game but it looks like another week of Tyson Bagent. [Back to Top](#top) [] 4. HOU: Nico Collins not practicing [Source: Click2Houston.com - Aaron Wilson]( Houston Texans WR Nico Collins (undisclosed) did not practice on Wednesday, Nov. 8. Our view: We don't like to see this. Let's watch to see if he's able to work Thursday. [Back to Top](#top) [] 5. CIN: Ja'Marr Chase does not practice [Source: Bengals.com]() Cincinnati Bengals WR Ja'Marr Chase (back) did not participate in practice Wednesday, Nov. 8. Our view: Chase is in danger of missing the Bengals' Week 10 matchup against the Texans. He may not be able to practice this week at all. That means at best, Chase could be a game-time decision. Fantasy GMs need to have other options at the ready. [Back to Top](#top) [] 6. MIN: Justin Jefferson unlikely to play [Source: NFL Network - Andrew Siciliano]( Minnesota Vikings WR Justin Jefferson (hamstring) was designated to return from injured reserve on Wednesday, Nov. 8, but is unlikely to play in Week 10, head coach Kevin O'Connell said. Our view: Jefferson is getting closer to a return, but he's not going to be out there in Week 10 according to reports. There's a chance we could see Jefferson back in action for Week 11, so stay tuned to his practice status over the next couple of weeks. [Back to Top](#top) [] 7. PHI: D'Andre Swift breaking tackles at a high clip [Source: ProFootballReference.com]() Philadelphia Eagles RB D'Andre Swift has broken a career-high 11 tackles - a mark that ranks fifth in the league, according to Pro Football Reference. Our view: The Eagles are on a bye in Week 10, so the league gets a break from dealing with Swift after contact. When they return in Week 11, Swift will continue to run hard and break would-be tackles. We like him as an RB2 with upside in PPR formats. [Back to Top](#top) [] 8. IND: Jonathan Taylor making it happen after contact [Source: ProFootballReference.com]() Indianapolis Colts RB Jonathan Taylor leads all qualified rushers with 2.3 yards per carry after contact, according to Pro Football Reference. Our view: Taylor has returned to the field with a thunder. He's one of the best backs in the league, and the Colts are going to go as far as Taylor can carry them this season. We hope to see the Colts stick with Taylor in the second half because they seem to go away from him a bit. However, he's going to get it done as a runner or receiver out of the backfield. That makes him an RB1 for Fantasy GMs out there in all formats. [Back to Top](#top) [] 9. BAL: Lamar Jackson has strong connection with Mark Andrews [Source: ProFootballReference.com](=) Baltimore Ravens QB Lamar Jackson has a 136.7 quarterback rating when has targeted TE Mark Andrews this season, according to Pro Football Reference. That mark ranks second among qualified leaders behind only Detroit Lions WR Josh Reynolds. Our view: This headline could be from any time Jackson and Andrews have been teammates with the Ravens. Their connection is one of the strongest in the league, and you can see it on film. The Todd Monken offense is more robust than what Greg Roman used to put together, but Jackson to Andrews will always remain a big part of what the Ravens do through the air. [Back to Top](#top) [] 10. ATL: Drake London will practice [Source: ESPN.com - Michael Rothstein]( Atlanta Falcons WR Drake London (groin) will practice Wednesday, Nov. 8. Our view: That's good news for the Falcons. We'll see how Drake's body responds to practice on Wednesday, and Friday is the big day to help determine his playing status. London missed last week with this groin injury, but he seems to be trending in the right direction. It will be interesting to see how much London is targeted by QB Taylor Heinicke upon his return, but we believe those passes will be coming in early and often.

CLE: No practice for David Njoku [Source: Sirius XM NFL Radio - Adam Caplan]( Cleveland Browns TE David Njoku (knee) did not participate in practice Wednesday, Nov. 8. Our view: Let's see what Njoku can do later in the week. He was out there in Week 9, and Njoku caught 4-of-6 passes for 26 yards and a touchdown in the Browns' win over the Cardinals. Fantasy GMs can look to him as a TE2 with upside if he plays. [Back to Top](#top) [] 12. GB: Aaron Jones listed as limited [Source: Packers.com]() Green Bay Packers RB Aaron Jones (hamstring) was limited during practice Wednesday, Nov. 8. Our view: Jones is going to be limited for a time this week. Let's see what he can do on Friday, but we're expecting him out there in Week 10. We like him as an RB2 with upside. [Back to Top](#top) [] 13. HOU: Dameon Pierce not practicing [Source: Click2Houston.com - Aaron Wilson]( Houston Texans RB Dameon Pierce (ankle) is not practicing on Wednesday, Nov. 8. Our view: Pierce was out of action in Week 9, and we'll see if he can practice later this week. Devin Singletary is in line to get a majority of the backfield touches against the Bengals on Sunday if Pierce can't play again. [Back to Top](#top) [] 14. CIN: Tee Higgins listed as limited [Source: Bengals.com]() Cincinnati Bengals WR Tee Higgins (hamstring) was limited during practice Wednesday, Nov. 8. Our view: Being limited on Wednesday doesn't give us much clarity on Higgins' status for Sunday's game against the Texans. Let's circle back to see what he can do on Friday. With Ja'Marr Chase (back) not practicing on Wednesday (and perhaps a game-time decision), Fantasy GMs need to keep an eye on Higgins as the week goes on. [Back to Top](#top) [] 15. WAS: Curtis Samuel listed as limited [Source: Commanders.com]() Washington Commanders WR Curtis Samuel (toe) was limited during practice Wednesday, Nov. 8. Our view: Watch to see what Samuel does later in the week. If he's out there, it could negatively impact the targets for guys like WR Jahan Dotson. [Back to Top](#top) [] 16. GB: Christian Watson on track to play [Source: Packers.com]() Green Bay Packers WR Christian Watson (back) fully participated in practice Wednesday, Nov. 8. Our view: Good news for the Packers here. However, we need to see actual production from Watson (and the Packers' passing game in general) before we start recommending him as even a flex play. [Back to Top](#top) [] 17. ARI: James Conner designated to return [Source: KPRC.com - Aaron Wilson]() Arizona Cardinals RB James Conner (quadriceps) was designated to return from the Reserve/Injured list Wednesday, Nov. 8. Our view: The Cardinals have been pleased with Conner's recovery from a quad injury that knocked him out of action in Week 5. Upon his return, Fantasy GMs can consider Conner a volume-based RB1 option. We'll see what he can do in practice this week as the Cardinals prepare to take on the Falcons.
