Browns | Denzel Boston questionable, 'trending in the right direction' Fri Nov 13, 01:20 PM
Browns rookie WR Denzel Boston (toe) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Texans. "We'll have to see how he progresses, but he's trending in the right direction," head coach Todd Monken said on Friday. Boston returned to practice Friday after missing Thursday's session.

Falcons rookie WR Zachariah Branch has been ruled out for Sunday's Week 10 game against the Chiefs with a hamstring injury. It will be the second straight game Branch has missed.
| Footballguys view: Branch got some low-value touches near the line of scrimmage early in the season, but it didn't translate into much fantasy production. This Falcons offense focuses so heavily on Bijan Robinson, Drake London, and Kyle Pitts that it's hard to trust anyone else in fantasy lineups. |

Cardinals TE Elijah Higgins and the team have agreed to a three-year extension worth up to $26.8 million, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport and ESPN's Adam Schefter reported on Friday.
| Footballguys view: Higgins has been the Cardinals' TE2 since they drafted him and has just started seeing more opportunities over the last few weeks. It's hard to justify stashing him outside of extremely deep leagues. But if Trey McBride were to miss a game, there's some theoretical contingent upside here. |

Giants RB Devin Singletary got blown up by Commanders LB Sonny Styles on a blitz on the opening drive of Thursday's loss and played only three more snaps, one of them a kneel-down. His pass protection has been shaky the past two weeks, which the beat writer says eliminates the possibility of him being used as the third-down back.

Panthers WR Xavier Legette (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's Week 10 game at the Saints. Legette is in his practice window ahead of a possible activation from injured reserve. He was a limited participant and worked with the scout team this week.
| Footballguys view: The Panthers' offense is concentrated on Tetairoa McMillan and Jalen Coker. Any scoring or big days outside of those two are sporadic. That pushes Legette pretty far off the fantasy radar. |

Panthers RB Jonathon Brooks (groin) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's Week 10 game at the Saints. Brooks remains in his practice window ahead of a possible activation from injured reserve. He was a limited participant and worked with the scout team this week.
| Footballguys view: Brooks still has a couple of weeks left in his 21-day window before the Panthers have to activate him. He logged two full practices to start this week, so he appears close. He's worth stashing in deep leagues, though expectations should be tempered given his lengthy injury history. |

Patriots QB Drake Maye (right shoulder) is off the injury report and is set to play in Sunday's game against the Lions in Madrid.
| Footballguys view: Maye has been on the injury report for most of the year with this right shoulder issue, but it hasn't kept him from being an elite fantasy option over the last month. Start him this week in what could be a shootout against the Lions. |
Drake Maye player page
Cowboys RB Israel Abanikanda will be the backup to RB Javonte Williams on Sunday against the 49ers, head coach Brian Schottenheimer said on Friday. RB Hunter Luepke will get more plays and potentially more touches.
| Footballguys view: Abanikanda is a good athlete and is still just 24. He got a little taste of action in 2023 with the Jets, but we haven't seen him since. Expect him to handle only a few touches as Williams dominates the backfield. But Abanikanda can be picked up in deep leagues with Tyler Goodson expected to miss a few weeks. Abanikanda is an injury away from a big opportunity on an explosive offense. |

Patriots TE Hunter Henry (foot) was limited in practice but has no injury designation for Sunday's Week 10 game at the Lions. Henry was questionable for last Sunday's game against the Packers and was active after practicing only on Friday that week.
| Footballguys view: Henry is a vet with a good understanding of his body and the offense he plays in. He doesn't need a full week of practice to play, and he's expected to go this week. A.J. Brown's expected return puts a slight cap on Henry's ceiling, but he's a solid touchdown-or-bust streaming option in Week 10. |

Browns rookie WR Denzel Boston (toe) returned to practice on Friday. Boston had been absent from practice on Thursday while dealing with the toe injury. The Browns host the Texans on Sunday.
| Footballguys view: We've reached the point where it's probably just best to start Boston, KC Concepcion, and Harold Fannin every week and hope for the best. The depth of pass-catchers leads to volatile production, but they all have sky-high weekly ceilings. If Boston can't go, the floors for Concepcion and Fannin both rise. If Boston is out there, he'll likely draw tough coverage from Derek Stingley, but he can make his fantasy day in one play, making him a strong WR2 option in fantasy lineups. |

Patriots WR A.J. Brown (knee) is questionable for Sunday's Week 10 game at the Lions but has "a good chance to play." The Patriots listed the designation on their Friday injury report. Brown was limited in practice on Thursday.
| Footballguys view: That was the expectation when Brown logged a week of limited practices. But a limited role or chance of reinjury keeps him more in the WR3 range than where a fully healthy Brown would typically rank. |
A.J. Brown player page
Lions RB Sione Vaki (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's Week 10 game against the Patriots. Vaki was a limited participant in practice on Friday. He was also questionable for last Sunday's game against the Dolphins with the ankle injury.
| Footballguys view: Vaki quietly carved out a role in the Lions' backfield over the last few weeks, and his return to practice on Friday gives him a chance to play on Sunday. Not like you're ever benching Jahmyr Gibbs, but Vaki's inactive status could lead to an even larger workload for fantasy's RB1. If Vaki can't go, expect Jacob Saylors to complement Gibbs with a handful of touches. Either way, Vaki or Saylors probably won't garner enough work to produce any meaningful fantasy production. |
Sione Vaki player page
Lions QB Jared Goff (chest) has no injury designation for Sunday's game against the Patriots in Munich. Goff was a full participant in practice on Friday. He was limited on Wednesday before upgrading to full participation on Thursday.
| Footballguys view: No concern here after back-to-back full practices. Start Goff this week against a susceptible Bills defense as a QB1. |
Jared Goff player page
Texans WR Marvin Harrison Jr. (hamstring) was not practicing on Friday during the portion of practice open to the media. Houston plays at the Browns on Sunday in Week 10.
| Footballguys view: Harrison hasn't practiced this week and appears on track to miss Week 10. In Week 9's scoring frenzy, Harrison was one of the few receivers who couldn't find paydirt. There was hope that a trade to Houston would resuscitate his career, but we haven't seen it so far. Even if active, Harrison can't be trusted in any lineup. And in most leagues, he can be safely dropped to the waiver wire. |

Texans DE Will Anderson Jr. (ankle) was not seen during the portion of Friday's practice open to the media. Anderson was added to the injury report as a limited participant on Thursday.

Texans RB David Montgomery was at practice for a second straight day on Friday. The veteran has missed the past month with a groin injury suffered against the Titans.
| Footballguys view: Montgomery returned to practice on Thursday and made another appearance on Friday. Woody Marks is dealing with a knee injury, so Montgomery is returning at the perfect time. Marks is expected to go, but an active Montgomery could help him shoulder the load. If Marks is out and Montgomery is active (unlikely), Montgomery can be started as an RB2 in fantasy. But if Marks is active, it'll be hard to trust Montgomery in any lineup. |
David Montgomery player page
Lions WR Amon-Ra St. Brown is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's Week 10 game against the Patriots in Germany. St. Brown has been dealing with a rib injury.
| Footballguys view: St. Brown is as tough as they come and has a long history of playing through injuries. The Lions play in Munich this week, with kickoff at 9:30 a.m. ET will require managers to wake up and check the inactive report. We expect St. Brown to play, but check back Sunday morning for an official update. |
Amon-Ra St. Brown player page
Panthers RB Jonathon Brooks (groin) has had his practice statuses from earlier this week changed from "full" to "limited," a team spokesperson said on Friday. The change was made because Brooks took scout team reps while returning from injured reserve.
| Footballguys view: All signs point to Brooks making his return this Sunday, as the "downgrade" to an LP on Friday's report doesn't tell the full story. He can't be trusted in fantasy lineups, but he's worth stashing on deep benches, mostly as an injury-away option if anything happens to Chuba Hubbard. |
Jonathon Brooks player page
Texans RB Woody Marks is good to go for Sunday's Week 10 game against the Browns. Marks was "back at it" on Friday after dealing with knee soreness from hits over the past few weeks.
| Footballguys view: Marks' week of limited practice is a bit concerning, but he should be ready to go on Sunday against the Browns. He can be relied on as a high-floor RB2, although his ceiling has left much to be desired this year. |
Woody Marks player page
Texans RB Woody Marks is "back at it" on Friday after a knee injury kept him out of Thursday's practice. Marks has been dealing with knee soreness from hits taken over the past few weeks, which a league source described as residual soreness and "nothing structural." The Texans had held him out as a precaution and were taking a wait-and-see approach to his availability for Sunday's game at the Browns.

Titans WR Carnell Tate (shoulder) will be out for Sunday's Week 10 game against the Jaguars. Tate was limited to side work with the training staff on Thursday after not practicing on Wednesday.
| Footballguys view: Tate will miss his second straight game, this one a divisional matchup against the Jaguars. Wan'Dale Robinson should see a slight bump in target share, but it's hard to recommend anyone else as a viable flex in this Titans' offense. Expect them to run the ball as much as they can to keep the Jaguars' offense off the field. If they're in a position where they have to throw, Robinson is positioned to be the top guy. |

Browns RB coach Duce Staley said there is no smoke behind RB Dylan Sampson outsnapping RB Quinshon Judkins over the last few weeks. Staley said the split is all about the situation in the game.
| Footballguys view: That may be true, but the Browns are underdogs this week against the Texans. Sampson has run 77 routes over the last three weeks to Judkins' 22. If the Browns are playing from behind, Sampson will get some extra work. Both Sampson and Judkins are RB3s this week, but Sampson has an arguably higher ceiling in PPR leagues. |

Jaguars RB Bhayshul Tuten (ankle/foot) will return to practice on Friday, head coach Liam Coen said. Tuten was seen working inside during the open portion of Wednesday's practice. The Jaguars visit the Titans on Sunday.
| Footballguys view: Tuten played last week after a full week of DNPs, so a return to practice signals that he'll likely be available this Sunday. The Jaguars have a juicy matchup against the Titans on the horizon. If Tuten is active, the only fear is that the Jaguars will have this game packed up by halftime, and Tuten will see the bench for the second half like he did last week. |
Bhayshul Tuten player page
Dolphins rookie WR Chris Bell is doubtful for Sunday's Week 10 game at the Colts, head coach Jeff Hafley said on Friday. Bell had his knee banged in Wednesday's practice, but Hafley said he does not expect it to be a long-term issue.
| Footballguys view: Bell suffered an ACL tear last season, and the team has managed his workload since OTAs and training camp. He's regularly been limited during in-season practices, and the team will likely be careful with the rookie if he aggravated the injury this week. Bell was mostly off the fantasy radar, but his absence could make Caleb Douglas a bit more alluring for managers without a better option. |
Chris Bell player page
Jets WR Garrett Wilson has one step to go before he clears the concussion protocol, head coach Aaron Glenn said on Friday. "I see that happening," Glenn said, adding that he is "confident" Wilson will play in Sunday's Week 10 game against the Bills.
| Footballguys view: Wilson missed last week's game with the concussion but is trending towards a return this week against the Bills. The Bills' defense has been susceptible to big plays this year. If Wilson is healthy, start him as a WR2. |
Garrett Wilson player page
Jets WR Omar Cooper Jr. is "good to go" for Sunday's game against the Bills. Cooper was limited at Thursday's practice with an ankle injury.

Texans RB Woody Marks, who missed practice on Thursday with a knee injury, is dealing with residual soreness from hits taken over the past two games and the issue is "nothing structural," per a league source. The team is taking a precaution by holding him out for now and is taking a wait-and-see approach about Sunday's game at the Browns. Texans RB Emari Demercado said he is confident in his ability to step in if Marks is sidelined.
| Footballguys view: David Montgomery is back at practice this week after an extended absence due to a groin injury, but his chances of playing are slim. If Marks can't play, Demercado becomes a borderline RB3 against the Browns. Dare Ogunbowale would likely spell Demercado on passing downs, capping his ceiling. But as we approach byes and injuries, there should be enough volume to justify starting Demercado. If Marks is active, his projection will be tempered because of the injury. |
Woody Marks player page
Patriots RB Rhamondre Stevenson (knee) is listed as questionable on the Week 10 injury report. Rhamondre Stevenson was limited in Thursday's practice.
| Footballguys view: Stevenson was expected to miss multiple weeks with a knee injury but returned to practice on Thursday and logged another on Friday. If he's active, he's a risky start, more of a back-end RB2 than the back-end RB1 he'd be if healthy. If Steveson can't go, fire up Corey Kiner as a high-floor volume play. If Stevenson is active, Kiner becomes more of a desperation start. |
Rhamondre Stevenson player page
Patriots WR A.J. Brown (knee) is listed as questionable on the Week 10 injury report. A.J. Brown was limited in Thursday's practice.
| Footballguys view: Brown practiced in limited fashion all week and will have a chance to play Sunday in Munich in an important game for the Patriots' playoff hopes. The Patriots have a Week 11 bye, so Brown will have an extra week of rest if he can push through Week 10. If he's active, the risk of limitation or reinjury will keep him in the WR3 range. |
A.J. Brown player page
Ravens QB Lamar Jackson suffered a broken and dislocated right thumb, and the team says his injury timeline is 6-10 weeks after surgery. "We will let his progress guide the timing of his return," the Ravens said in a statement. Jackson has said he plans to return this season.
| Footballguys view: This timeline matches our initial estimate. If Jacoby Brissett can keep the offense humming, expect Jackson to push a bit harder to hit the six-week end of this range. If they are losing, there's a chance we don't see Jackson again this year. Jackson can be stashed in deep leagues, but there's certainly a chance that he's already played his last snap in 2026. |

Patriots RB Rhamondre Stevenson (knee) was present for practice on Friday and took part in warmups, which he did not do on Thursday. Stevenson was not in uniform.

Jets RB Breece Hall remained with the team through the trade deadline and is set to form the 1-2 punch the Jets envisioned with RB Braelon Allen. "I know at the end of the day, if I was to get traded, it would be to a team that wanted me, and I'm here — and so obviously the team wants me," Hall said on Thursday. Hall missed five games with a quad injury, during which Allen handled the bulk of the carries, but returned atop the depth chart in last Sunday's Week 9 loss to the Chiefs, rushing 15 times for 61 yards. Hall has 224 yards and a rushing touchdown in four games this season.

The Rams are placing WR Puka Nacua on injured reserve. He must miss the next four games with the MCL/PCL sprain and turf toe he suffered in last Sunday's win over the Commanders. The Rams signed WR Brennan Presley to take his roster spot.
| Footballguys view: Roster mechanics be damned, and after saying he wouldn't be put on IR, now he's out for the next four games. With a bye in Week 11, that means Nacua is eligible to return in Week 15 against the Cowboys. Fantasy GMs are hoping he can return for the fantasy playoffs. |

Seahawks QB Drew Lock (oblique) was again a limited participant in practice on Thursday. Lock was also limited on Wednesday. The Seahawks plan to start Lock again on Sunday against the Raiders, with Sam Darnold ruled out.
| Footballguys view: Lock has a couple of injuries that he's battling through. The team has Jalen Milroe ready as the no.2 quarterback, and he's an exciting and athletic prospect. Lock should be fine running the offense, and the team should have little problem handling the Raiders (starting rookie QB Fernando Mendoza) on Sunday. |

Chargers WR Ladd McConkey (back) did not practice on Thursday, the team's first injury report ahead of Monday's Week 10 game at the Ravens. McConkey was listed as questionable to return in last Sunday's game against the Texans with a back injury. He was one of nine Chargers who did not practice Thursday.
| Footballguys view: McConkey has back spasms, and that's what kept him out of action in Week 9. Fantasy GMs have until Saturday to see what McConkey's final status is on the injury report as the Chargers play on Monday Night Football against the Ravens. Stay tuned. |
