Now, let’s break down all the latest fantasy-relevant injury news in this week’s Fantasy Football Injury Report for Week 9. We will continually update this list. Week 10 Byes: Kansas City, Los Angeles Rams, Miami, Philadelphia Ja’Marr Chase (WR) Cincinnati Bengals – Chase landed hard on his back in Cincinnati’s Sunday Night victory over Buffalo. Chase played through the injury. However, it had a noticeable impact on his play and the early report sounded disconcerting. We will keep the FullTime Discord updated. #Bengals Ja’Marr Chase making it sound like his back injury will be something worth monitoring. Concerned tone, to be certain, from him. “I’m just going to support my teammates, man. Let those guys do what they got to do. Only thing I can do is get healthy for the team.” — Paul Dehner Jr. (@pauldehnerjr) November 6, 2023 Justin Jefferson (WR) Minnesota Vikings – The Vikings could welcome Jefferson back as early as this week. However, he has yet to return to practice. We will monitor Jefferson’s practice participation throughout the week and keep FullTime Fantasy Members advised in the Discord Channel. UPDATE: Jefferson and K.J. Osborn are expected to miss Week 10. Deebo Samuel (WR) San Francisco 49ers – The 49ers welcomed Samuel back to practice on Monday. He will return this week in Jacksonville and just in the nick of time too. San Francisco has lost three straight games and faces a surging Jaguars squad also coming off of their bye. Dallas Goedert (TE) Philadelphia Eagles – Godert fractured his right forearm trying to snag a sideline catch. He will miss a minimum of 3-4 weeks. The Eagles don’t have a viable in-house replacement, so expect more targets for DeVonta Smith and Kenneth Gainwell. Justin Fields (QB) Chicago Bears – After missing three games, Fields has returned to practice in a limited capacity. Fields is trending in the right direction. And his return would be a boost for all Chicago fantasy options. UPDATE: Fields is OUT. Justin Fields is considered day-to-day after returning to practice Friday on a limited basis — Chicago Bears (@ChicagoBears) November 7, 2023 David Montgomery (RB) Detroit Lions – Montgomery returned to practice on Monday and will be back in Detroit’s lineup on Sunday in Los Angeles. This is a welcomed development for fantasy football managers. But, it does complicate things after Jahmyr Gibbs’s breakout performance prior to the bye. James Conner (RB) Arizona Cardinals – Some more good news- the Cardinals are expected to welcome back both QB Kyler Murray and RB James Conner. And after Arizona’s shutout loss in Cleveland, these reinforcements are just in time. Murray projects to be a middling QB2 until we see how he performs. However, Conner is a strong, volume-based RB2 option. Josh Downs (WR) Indianapolis Colts – Downs tweaked a knee injury and could not play in the second half of Indy’s Week 9 game. We will know more about his knee as the week progresses. Treylon Burks (WR) Tennessee Titans – Burks is in the NFL’s concussion protocol and is considered doubtful for Week 10. Cole Kmet (TE) Chicago Bears – You can breathe a sigh of relief as tight end Cole Kmet was a full participant in Tuesday’s practice after sitting out Monday. #Bears Tuesday Injury Report: pic.twitter.com/OGge04gVnA — Bears Communications (@BearsPR) November 7, 2023 Daniel Jones (QB) New York Giants – A lost season for Jones ended in Week 10. Jones suffered a non-contact new injury that turned out to be a torn ACL. With Tyrod Taylor (ribs) on IR, Tommy DeVito will take over for the Giants. Cam Akers (RB) Minnesota Vikings – A second ruptured Achilles will end Cam Akers’s season. Akers already made an unprecedented return to action following his first Achilles injury. However, expecting a second miraculous recovery is highly unlikely. Matthew Stafford (QB) Los Angeles Rams – The fact that the Rams signed Carson Wentz is worrisome. Stafford injured his thumb in Week 9 and missed last week’s game. When he’s up to speed, Wentz is an upgrade over Brett Rypien, who was held to 130 scoreless yards in Sunday’s defeat. Darren Waller (TE) New York Giants – More bad news for the Giants. The hamstring injury that forced Waller out of Week 9 is severe enough that the club placed Waller on IR. Subsequently, Waller will be out until at least Week 15. Robert Woods (WR) Houston Texans – After missing two games, Woods is expected to return this week at Cincinnati, so be cautious with the amount of FAAB you use on Noah Brown. Also, Woods makes an intriguing pickup per FullTime Fantsy’s Matchup Analyzer Tool, which ranks the Texans with the second-easiest schedule for wide receivers in the next four weeks. UPDATE: Woods has not returned to practice, putting his Week 10 status in doubt. Ka’imi Fairbairn (PK) Houston Texans – The Texans were forced to use RB Dare Ogunbowale as an emergency kicker after Fairbairn injured his quadriceps. Subsequently, the Texans just signed free agent Matt Amendola to their practice squad. That puts Fairbairn’s Week 10 availability in doubt. UPDATE: Faibarin will not play. Khalil Herbert (RB) Chicago Bears – Chicago designated their starting running back to return from IR. However, Herbert will not play on Thursday. Continue to start D’Onta Foreman. De’Von Achane (RB) Miami Dolphins – Reports indicate that Achane will be ready to return to action following Miami’s Week
Fantasy Football Waiver Wire: Week 10

A costly bye slate and more untimely injuries derailed a Week 9 that still had its share of headlines. Fantasy football managers are now less than a month from the playoffs. That makes the Fantasy Football Waiver Wire: Week 10 the most important week to load up for that postseason run.
As always, FullTime Fantasy has you covered. Also, the byes this week are even worse than Week 9, making the fantasy football waiver wire: week 10 even more impactful.
Week 10 Byes: Kansas City, Los Angeles Rams, Miami, Philadelphia
FAAB denotes Free Agent Acquisition Budget
Tank Dell (WR) Houston Texans (25% FAAB) – If you’re in the FullTime Fantasy Discord, you added Dell weeks ago. However, if he is still available in any league you’re in, be prepared to pay a king’s ransom. Dell is coming off of an amazing performance. His third 20-plus point fantasy outing this season. We can’t expect that kind of production weekly, but Dell is being targeted at a higher rate than Nico Collins. C.J. Stroud implored the Texans to draft Dell and that connection has certainly paid off.
Keaton Mitchell (RB) Baltimore Ravens (12% FAAB) – Before Week 9, Mitchell had all of one touch in 2023. That was mostly the same on Sunday until the Ravens were attempting to run out the clock. Mitchell only played 14 second-half snaps but parlayed them into 11 touches, 143 yards, and a touchdown in garbage time. Undoubtedly, Mitchell has a top gear lacking with Baltimore’s other two backs. However, that doesn’t mean that Mitchell will suddenly start earning a role. He’s worth a healthy FAAB bid. But fantasy managers would be wise to temper expectations and proceed with caution.
Kyler Murray (QB) Arizona Cardinals (10% FAAB) – For several weeks we have recommended a proactive bid on…
