The Training Room: Week 10 Fantasy Football Injury Report

Nov 05, 2017

Stay up to date with all the current injuries that happened this past week to determine what you should do on the waiver wire. We will update these injuries throughout the week to reflect practice participation and expectations heading into this week.

The Training Room

Player	Position	Team	Injury	Recovery For Timetable	Potential Pickup	Comments
Eddie Lacy	RB	Seahawks	Strained Groin	RULED OUT FOR THURSDAY, 2-3 Weeks	Thomas Rawls	Lacy injured his groin against the Redskins and did not return. With the Seahawks scheduled to play Thursday night, it is highly unlikely that Lacy would be ready for that game.
Dez Bryant	WR	Cowboys	Sprained Knee, High Ankle Sprain	EXPECTED TO PLAY SUNDAY	Terrance Williams, Cole Beasley	Dez was able to get in a limited practice on Friday which puts him in line to play on Sunday. The Cowboys will likely put him through warm-ups to make sure there's no irritation or setback, but it looks like Bryant will play against the Falcons. How effective he'll be will be the question as those who return from high ankle sprains could struggle with cutting and getting out of routes.
Jameis Winston	QB	Buccaneers	Sprained Shoulder	RULED OUT FOR SUNDAY, Week to Week	Ryan Fitzpatrick	The Bucs are planning to shut down Winston for at least a week or two to reduce the aggravation to his throwing shoulder. There's a good chance that he doesn't miss much time, but with the Bucs not in playoff contention, they'll be cautious with Winston to make sure he's as close to 100% when he returns.
Terrance Williams	WR	Cowboys	high ankle sprain	EXPECTED TO PLAY SUNDAY	Cole Beasley	Williams was not on the final injury report so all signs point to him being ready for Week 10. With Dez Bryant banged up, he could be a sneaky option to consider.
Demarco Murray	RB	Titans	Sprained Knee	EXPECTED TO PLAY SUNDAY	Derrick Henry	Murray was not listed on the final injury report heading into Week 10. He'll continue to try and play through his knee issue, but it seems like every game he gets banged up which limits his productiion.
Trent Taylor	WR	49ers	Rib Injury	RULED OUT FOR SUNDAY, Week to Week	Victor Bolden, Aldrick Robinson	Taylor suffered a rib fracture and will sit out through the 49ers Week 11 bye to hopefully be available in Week 12.
Matt Forte	RB	Jets	Knee Pain	RULED OUT FOR SUNDAY	Bilal Powell, Elijah McGuire	Forte continues to be limited due to swelling in his knee, and there's no indication as to what could be causing the swelling. Forte will likely undergo more testing to determine why the swelling exists to determine if there's an underlying issue.
Devonta Freeman	RB	Falcons	Sprained Knee	EXPECTED TO PLAY SUNDAY	Tevin Coleman	Freeman practiced fully on Thursday and Friday, which should allow the Falcons to use him as they normally would.
Vernon Davis	TE	Redskins	Injured Hand	EXPECTED TO PLAY SUNDAY	Jordan Reed	Davis has been a full participant in practice after being limited on Wednesday. With Jordan Reed out Sunday, Reed will be the primary TE and should be very productive.
T.Y. Hilton	WR	Colts	Strained Groin	EXPECTED TO PLAY SUNDAY	Donte Moncrief	Hilton was added to the injury report on Thursday and was a limited participant both Thursday and Friday. Adam Schefter reports that despite the groin injury, Hilton is expected to play Sunday. I'd expect the Colts to see how he feels in warm-ups first before giving him the green light. There's some risk here with Hilton as an in-game aggravation could occur, but he has been very productive with Jacoby Brissett as of late so it'd be hard to sit him if he's active.

Wondering when a player is going to return from either an injury or a suspension? See below for our On The Radar section, which goes over players that are recovering from an injury sustained in previous weeks and what their timetables are for returning to the field.

On The Radar

Player	Position	Team	Injury	Timetable For Recovery	Potential Pickup	Comments
C.J. Prosise	RB	Seahawks	Sprained Ankle	EXPECTED TO PLAY THURSDAY	J.D. McKissic	Prosise has been practice in full this week, so it is likely that he will return for Thursday night football against the Cardinals. It remains to be seen if the Seahawks will be cautious with him, or if they plan to use him as they normally would. Last time Prosise tried to play he hurt himself on the first play.
Zach Ertz	TE	Eagles	Strained Hamstring	Week to Week	Brent Celek	Ertz did not feel comfortable in warm-ups this past week with his hamstring, so the Eagles decided to hold him out. With the Eagles on bye in Week 10, there's a good chance Ertz should be fine for Week 11.
Jordan Reed	TE	Redskins	Strained Hamstring	NOT EXPECTED TO PLAY SUNDAY	Vernon Davis	After returning to a limited practice both Wednesday and Thursday, Reed did not practie Friday, which is not a good sign. Reed likely experienced some new soreness and potentially had a setback.
Sam Bradford	QB	Vikings	Knee Bone Bruise	Placed on IR, Season Over	Case Keenum, Teddy Bridgewater	Bradford had his knee scoped this week and was put on IR, ending his season. Bridgewater is the QB you want for the Vikings.
Chris Hogan	WR	Patriots	DNP, Sprained Shoulder	NOT EXPECTED TO PLAY, 1-2 Weeks	Phillip Dorsett	Hogan is apparently still in a sling and has not practice at all this week. He will not play Week 10 and remains without a timetable.
Teddy Bridgewater	QB	Vikings	Knee Surgery	Practicing Fully	Case Keenum	Bridgewater is practicing fully, which is awesome to see given the injury he sustained. Bridgewater should step in for Keenum once he falters, and although it's hard to figure out how he'll look, he's a great speculative add should you need help.
Niles Paul	TE	Redskins	Concussion	QUESTIONABLE FOR SUNDAY, Day to Day	Jordan Reed, Vernon Davis	Paul has missed practice on both Thursday and Friday. Although he is listed questionable, he is looking unlikely to play. Vernon Davis becomes a good option to consider.
Terrance West	RB	Ravens	Strained Calf	Week to Week	Alex Collins	The Ravens are on bye this week, so hopefully West will be able to return to practice after their bye. With Danny Woodhead close to returning as well, it is going to be a crowded backfield for West to have an impact.
Jamison Crowder	WR	Redskins	Strained Hamstring	EXPECTED TO PLAY SUNDAY	Josh Doctson, Terelle Pryor	Crowder has been limited all week, but Adam Schefter reports that Crowder is expected to play against the Vikings.
Kenny Golladay	WR	Lions	Strained Hamstring	QUESTIONABLE FOR SUNDAY, Day to Day	Marvin Jones	Golladay will be a game time decision as he'll test out his hamstring during warm-ups to see if he'll be active. He's trending in the right direction but can't be trusted this week.
Martellus Bennett	TE	Packers	Sprained Shoulder	QUESTIONABLE FOR SUNDAY, Week to Week	Rob Gronkowski	Bennett was a limited participant later in the week compared to being a full participant earlier in the week. There's a good chance Bennett does not play this Sunday in hopes that he's 100% next week.
Corey Coleman	WR	Browns	Broken Hand	Week to Week	Kenny Britt	Coleman is returning to practice this week after being designated to return from IR for the Browns. The Browns will have 3 weeks to activate him and put him on the active roster, which would be a welcomed site for them. Coleman should step into his normal role when he is activated and I wouldn't expect the Browns to limit him in any way when he does return.
Andrew Luck	QB	Colts	Shoulder Labral Repair	Out For Season	Jacoby Brissett	What a disastrous 2017 season for Luck. The Colts will shut his throwing program down and focus mainly on just rehabbing the shoulder in hopes that the discomfort he's dealing with corrects itself. Surgery is still an option should he not show any progress, but this is something to keep an eye on for the future.
David Johnson	RB	Cardinals	Wrist Surgery	Eligible to return Week 12	Adrian Peterson	Coach Arians recently told reporters that it was doubtful that Johnson would return this year from his wrist surgery. With the Cardinals in flux with Carson Palmergoing down with an injury, there's a possibility that they shut Johnson down depending on if the Cardinals start to lose. Add in the fact that they have Adrian Peterson, and it's not a lock that Johnson returns this season.
Charles Clay	TE	Bills	Knee Surgery	EXPECTED TO PLAY SUNDAY	Nick O'Leary	Clay has been limited in practice all week with signs pointing that he'll make his return after knee surgery this week against the Saints. Clay could be eased back into snaps, but becomes a good streaming option if he
Greg Olsen	TE	Panthers	Foot Surgery	Eligible to Week 12	Ed Dickson	Olsen is eligible to return to practice. Hopefully he'll ramp up his activities and not experiencing any soreness which will allow him to return in Week 12.
Aaron Rodgers	QB	Packers	Collarbone Surgery	Eligible to return Week 15	Brent Hundley	Adam Schefter reports that Rodgers could start throwing around 6 weeks after surgery. While this is definitely possible, there are still a lot of things that need to occur just to get to that point.
Danny Woodhead	RB	Ravens	Strained Hamstring	Eligible to return Week 11	Alex Collins, Jarvoris Allen	Woodhead returned to practice and looks to be ready to return when the Ravenscome out of their bye. Add him now if you have the roster flexibility.
Carson Palmer	QB	Cardinals	Broken Arm	Eligible to return Week 16	Drew Stanton, Blaine Gabbert	Palmer is droppable in all leagues as he will not make it back to make an impact for fantasy football purposes.
