JuJu Smith-Schuster won't play Sunday against Broncos for third straight game. No surprise since he didn't practice this week

Related Players: DeAndre Hopkins, Xavier Worthy, Mecole Hardman, Justin Watson

Looks like it'll be another lost week for JuJu, which puts both Worthy (low) and Hopkins (high) on the WR3 radar against the Denver secondary.

Titans QB Will Levis will return to the starting lineup Sunday against the Chargers, coach Brian Callahan said.

Levis returns to the field, but he'll do so without DeAndre Hopkins to throw it to. Levis should not be started here in Week 10.

Shane Steichen has ruled out Michael Pittman Jr. (back, finger) for Sunday.

No practice this week for Pitt.

Bernhard Raimann is cleared.

Related Players: Josh Downs, Alec Pierce, Adonai Mitchell

Josh Downs is the only reliable pass-catcher in Indianapolis as it stands, and should be in strong lineup consideration as a WR2 with Pittman on the sidelines.

Todd Bowles said Mike Evans is the only player ruled out — Greg Gaines and Jalen McMillan are the biggest question marks for Sunday vs. 49ers.

This wide receiver room is on the tipping point of being one of the worst in the league, so hopefully we see McMillan cleared in time. Outside of him, Cotton remains the only pass-catcher we can play with any certainty.

Sean McDermott said that WR Amari Cooper (wrist) and FB Reggie Gilliam (hip) will be questionable vs. the Colts.

Keon Coleman has already been declared Out (and will "probably" miss multiple weeks), so it would be quite the blow to the passing offense if Cooper misses as well. Shakir should be locked into WR2 slots in fantasy.

Still no word on whether Amari Cooper will be playing, but we should see Shakir continue in his role that has seen him hit 7+ targets in three straight games. He's a WR2 in Week 10.

Doug Pederson said it’s trending to Trevor Lawrence not playing Sunday vs. Vikings and Mac Jones would start in his place.

With Lawrence possibly needing surgery (and not playing that well, to boot), Jones can be considered a potential stash for the rest of the season, though that's only appealing in Superflex/2QB leagues.

S Jalen Thompson is a Thursday add with an ankle issue. RB James Conner remains limited with a finger injury.

Related Players: Trey Benson, Emari Demercado

Demercado has seen far more 2024 action than Benson, but you'd have to think the rookie would see more run if Conner misses Week 10. That said, both back-ups will likely be stay-aways in most fantasy formats against the Jets defense.

Pittman DNP again.

Related Players: Josh Downs, Alec Pierce, Adonai Mitchell

Things aren't trending well for Michael Pittman Jr. to see the field in Week 10, but we'll have to watch for Friday practice reports to confirm. Josh Downs is the only reliable pass-catcher in Indianapolis as it stands, and should be in strong lineup consideration regardless of Pittman's status.

Second straight day with no practice for Keon Coleman.

Amari Cooper continues to be limited. Christian Benford fully participating is a good sign.

It seems as though Cooper is still dealing with his wrist issue as well, so the Bills might be right back to having an extremely thin WR room once again for Week 10. Consider Shakir a high-floor WR2 if either or both of his teammates miss.
