Will Walker help the Vikings?
Of course not, Javon Walker had no explosion in his lower body before he signed the big contract with the Oakland Raiders, and that was three years ago.

Not much can be expected of him now. At this point of the season, what choices are available to the injury-riddle receiving group of the Vikings? Trading for Greg Camarillo will help when the Vikings play teams that feature more zone coverage than tight man-to-man, but the problems that will arise for the Vikings without Sidney Rice, or maybe even Percy Harvin, is when teams press the wide outs and force Brett Favre to hold onto the ball a little longer than he wants. The Vikings need both Rice and Harvin back and healthy to be the explosive offense of a year ago.

Texans WR Nico Collins "long shot" to play Week 10

With Nico Collins still not practicing today and not designated to return from IR, it makes him a long shot to play Sunday night vs. the Texans.

Related Players: Tank Dell, Xavier Hutchinson, Robert Woods, Dalton Schultz

Fantasy Impact:

Since the injury to Stefon Diggs, Dell has been the only reliable piece of this receiving corps, and it looks like that will continue for one more week. C.J. Stroud can be benched in place of a streamer for Week 10.

“He’ll be fine,” Liam Coen says of Baker Mayfield’s toe, knowing he’s been limited but will be ready come Sunday afternoon vs. 49ers.

Related Players: Kyle Trask

Fantasy Impact:

Looks like Mayfield will suit up, but it's a pretty difficult matchup against the 49ers defense. He should be considered a top-15 option for Week 10.

Ravens RB Keaton Mitchell expected to make season debut on TNF

Ravens RB Keaton Mitchell (knee) expected to be active for tonight’s Bengals game barring unforeseen development, per sources.

Practiced in full this week and ready for his season debut. A jolt of speed in time for rivalry game.

Related Players: Derrick Henry, Justice Hill

Fantasy Impact:

We wouldn't expect a ton of usage out of Mitchell here, but it will probably come at the expense of Hill, rather than Henry, if it's a close game. We'll have to see how the backfield splits moving forward, but stashing Mitchell is certainly not a bad idea.
