We are now in week ten, over half of the season being done. Unfortunately as the season has progressed, it means more injuries pile up. Luckily, we will go through every fantasy relevant injury for this weekend and what their status is.
Ben Roethlisberger, Quarterback, Pittsburgh Steelers (knee) - Coming back from recent knee surgery, Big Ben looked rusty throughout the game, seemingly not close to 100%. He seems to be much closer to that this weekend with him practicing fully and being removed from the team's injury report for the weekend. He is all good to go.
Alex Smith, Quarterback, Kansas City Chiefs (concussion) - After missing week nine with a concussion, Smith is ready to return this weekend. He will slide right back into his usual starting spot and has a great match-up against the Panthers. He will be on the field this weekend.
Todd Gurley, Running Back, Los Angeles Rams (thigh) - Gurley popped up on the injury list this week with a thigh injury. He was sidelined on Wednesday and Thursday because of it before returning to practice on Friday. While he is questionable, he should be on the field and be playing this weekend as this injury does not seem to be serious.
Lamar Miller, Running Back, Houston Texans (shoulder) - Miller was limited on Thursday in practice before returning to a full practice on Friday. Miller has dealt with this minor injury for some time now but it hasn't stopped him from playing. He is in no danger of missing the game this weekend.
DeMarco Murray, Running Back, Tennessee Titans (toe) - Despite missing Wednesday's practice, Murray was limited on Thursday and got in a full practice on Friday. He was taken off the Titans injury report as well, suggesting he is close to (if not already) 100%. He will be ready to rock and roll as usual this weekend.
Carlos Hyde, Running Back, San Francisco 49ers (shoulder) - Hyde has missed the last two games with a troublesome shoulder injury. Luckily, he returned to practice this week and got in limited sessions all week. He sounds like he'd be a game-time decision at this rate, so keep an eye on this situation for when Sunday comes around.
Spencer Ware, Running Back, Kansas City Chiefs (concussion) - Ware was forced to miss week nine with a concussion but that will not be the case this weekend. Ware passed the concussion protocol and is cleared to play. He'll return to action this weekend.
Christine Michael, Running Back, Seattle Seahawks (hamstring) - Michael was a late addition to the injury report after being limited on Friday with a hamstring injury. It's possible that he could be a game-time decision considering he just suffered the injury. He plays on Sunday night, so owners should have a back-up just in case he can't play.
Doug Martin, Running Back, Tampa Bay Buccaneers (hamstring) - After missing six games with a hamstring injury, Martin has been practicing in some capacity all week. That includes a full session in on Friday. Everything points to him playing this weekend but also being limited to start as well. Regardless, it would seem that Martin is ready to make his return this weekend/
Tevin Coleman, Running Back, Atlanta Falcons (hamstring) - Coleman has missed the last two games with a hamstring injury. That injury will cost him another game as well with Coleman ruled out for this weekend. It is a troublesome situation, but hopefully he can be ready to come back following the team's week 11 bye. He remains week-to-week.
Dion Lewis, Running Back, New England Patriots (knee) - Lewis has been on the PUP list the entire season as he has recovered from multiple knee surgeries. He was able to practice fully all week and looked poised to make his season debut this weekend. His production will likely be miniscule this weekend as he is brought along slowly, but all signs point to him being back on the field on Sunday night.
DeAngelo Williams, Running Back, Pittsburgh Steelers (knee) - Williams has been dealing with a troublesome knee injury for some time now. It was announced earlier this week that he underwent surgery on it and is out indefinitely. Williams could be back this season but he is without a timeline at the moment. Consider him week-to-week at best right now.
James Starks, Running Back, Green Bay Packers (knee) - Starks has missed the last four games after needing knee surgery. He has been limited in practice all week but is listed as questionable for this weekend. He has a good shot at returning this weekend but his workload will likely be limited right out of the game as he makes his way back.
Mike Evans, Wide Receiver, Tampa Bay Buccaneers (concussion) - Evans suffered a concussion during his week nine game and had been working his way back from it. He has practiced fully over the past two days and passed the concussion protocol as well. He will have no problem making it on the field and playing this weekend.
Brandon Marshall, Wide Receiver, New York Jets (foot) - Marshall has dealt with injuries off-and-on this season but it hasn't prevented him from playing every game this season. He practiced fully on Wednesday before being limited for the rest of the week but there is no danger of his missing this weekend.
Dez Bryant, Wide Receiver, Dallas Cowboys (knee) - Bryant has been back for a few games now after his knee injury. He is still listed on the injury report for the Cowboys, but he is definitely playing this weekend as he has been since returning initially.
Larry Fitzgerald, Wide Receiver, Arizona Cardinals (ankle) - Fitzgerald popped up on the team's injury this week with an ankle injury. He practiced all week in a limited fashion and was removed from the team's final injury report. In a juicy march-up, he will be healthy and in line for a big game as well.
Jarvis Landry, Wide Receiver, Miami Dolphins (shoulder) - Landry did indeed miss Thursday's practice with this shoulder injury but was able to return on Friday. Landry likely won't be 100% going into this game but every indication is that'll play. He should be out there on Sunday for fantasy owners.
Randall Cobb, Wide Receiver, Green Bay Packers (hamstring) - After being limited in practice on Thursday, Cobb returned to a full practice on Friday and was removed from the team's injury report. Expect to see a lot of Cobb this weekend.
Julian Edelman, Wide Receiver, New England Patriots (foot) - Edelman has been limited in practice all season and has not missed a game despite being questionable every weekend. He is in no danger of missing week ten and should be in for his usual work-load.
Jeremy Maclin, Wide Receiver, Kansas City Chiefs (groin) - Maclin re-injured his groin injury last weekend and was forced to leave the game. He hasn't practiced this week and was ruled out for this weekend by head coach Andy Reid. Maclin is likely week-to-week for the time being.
Tyrell Williams, Wide Receiver, San Diego Chargers (knee) - Williams has dealt with this knee injury for several weeks now but it hasn't stopped him from playing all along. He is labelled as questionable but he will be out there on Sunday.
Allen Hurns, Wide Receiver, Jacksonville Jaguars (concussion) - Hurns was forced to leave week nine with a concussion and has been able to practice on a limited basis over the past two days. He is still in the concussion protocol, but could be cleared prior to the game. Hurns is likely a game-time decision this weekend as well.
Travis Benjamin, Wide Receiver, San Diego Chargers (knee) - Benjamin has been dealing with a knee injury for several weeks now. He actually re-aggravated the injury in week nine and did not practice at all this week. He is labelled as doubtful for the game and will not suit up. He remains week-to-week.
DeSean Jackson, Wide Receiver, Washington Redskins (shoulder) - Jackson has been dealing with a shoulder injury for a few weeks now. He wasn't able to practice much this week and is listed as doubtful for this weekend. He won't suit up and will be viewed as week-to-week for the time being.
Will Fuller, Wide Receiver, Houston Texans (leg) - Fuller has been dealing with a leg injury for several weeks now and is coming off a bye week. He was limited in practice all week and is listed as questionable. He is expected to suit up for this weekend but be sure to check in on Sunday to double check.
Chris Hogan, Wide Receiver, New England Patriots (back) - Hogan had been fine this week before missing practice on Friday with a back injury. He is questionable for this weekend and appears to be heading towards being a game-time decision as right now. Be sure to check back in on Sunday night to confirm his status.
Victor Cruz, Wide Receiver, New York Giants (ankle) - Cruz has been unable to practice this week due to an ankle injury. Despite that, he is still optimistic in suiting up on Monday night but will likely need to practice on Saturday for him to have a shot at playing. He appears to be trending towards being out this weekend.
Eddie Royal, Wide Receiver, Chicago Bears (toe) - Royal has missed the last two games with his troublesome toe injury. He has been limited in practice all week and has a shot of returning this weekend. Be sure to check back in on Sunday for final confirmation but he appears likely to suit up as of right now.
Kenny Stills, Wide Receiver, Miami Dolphins (calf) - Stills sat out of practice on Thursday before returning on Friday in a limited capacity. His calf injury does not appear serious and is listed as questionable. Despite that, he should be fine to play this weekend.
Delanie Walker, Tight End, Tennessee Titans (groin) - Walker has been playing through a pesky groin injury for a few weeks now but practiced in full all week. He is off the team's final injury report and should be close to 100%. He is all good to go for this weekend.
Antonio Gates, Tight End, San Diego Chargers (knee) - Gates has been dealing with a knee injury for a few weeks now but was able to practice fully on Thursday and Friday and is actually off the team's final injury report. He will be out there this weekend with no issues.
Martellus Bennett, Tight End, New England Patriots (ankle) - Bennett has been limited in practice over the past few weeks with his ankle injury but has not missed any game action. While he is listed as questionable to play, he will suit up on Sunday night as usual.
Hunter Henry, Tight End, San Diego Chargers (knee) - Henry has been limited at practice all week with his knee injury. He is listed as questionable to play but there is no reason to believe he would miss this weekend. He is good to go for week 10.
Ladarius Green, Tight End, Pittsburgh Steelers (ankle) - Green has not played this season after dealing with a troublesome ankle injury that required surgery. He has been practicing off-and-on for the past few weeks and reports indicate he will make his debut this weekend. It isn't confirmed by any means, so be sure to check back in on Sunday for final word.
