The Atlanta Falcons placed defensive end Dante Fowler on the Reserve/COVID-19 list. Fowler has 17 combined tackles, six quarterback hits and two sacks in eight games so far this season. He was inactive for the team’s most recent game in Week 9 against the Broncos due to a hamstring issue. It’s unknown if Fowler himself tested positive for COVID-19 or if he was deemed a

Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon (foot) has officially been ruled out for Week 10 against the division-rival Steelers. Mixon had initially been listed as doubtful on Friday, so fantasy managers should’ve already removed him from their starting lineups. The 24-year-old last played against the Colts in Week 6, running the ball 18 times for 54 yards and a touchdown. Giovani Bernard will once again

The Green Bay Packers activated linebacker Christian Kirksey (shoulder) from Injured Reserve on Saturday and placed tight end John Lovett on IR in a corresponding move. Kirksey has been out since injuring his shoulder in Week 3, and his return will be a big boost for the middle of the Packers Defense in an excellent matchup against the Jaguars and rookie quarterback Jake Luton in

Seattle Seahawks running backs Chris Carson (foot) and Carlos Hyde (hamstring) have both been downgraded to out for Week 10 and the divisional matchup against the Rams. It will be their third straight missed game, which has opened things up for rookie DeeJay Dallas. Travis Homer out-snapped the rookie last week in the loss to the Bills, but Dallas has been the more productive fantasy

The Miami Dolphins elevated wide receiver Antonio Callaway to the 53-man active roster on Saturday and also activated linebacker Kyle Van Noy off the Reserve/COVID-19 list. A fourth-round pick of the Browns in 2018, Callaway caught 51 passes for 675 yards and five touchdowns in 20 games for Cleveland before receiving a suspension from the NFL. He’s now past the suspension and will have an

New England Patriots kicker Nick Folk (back) and tight end Ryan Izzo (hamstring) are both questionable for Week 10 on Sunday night against the Ravens. Both Folk and Izzo practiced on a limited basis all week, so we’d expect them both to suit up against Baltimore. Folk ranks just 24th in overall fantasy points at the kicking position through eight games, but the veteran booter

Tampa Bay Buccaneers left guard Ali Marpet (concussion), who has been in the league’s concussion protocol the last two weeks, had his game status for Week 10 against the Panthers downgraded from questionable to out. Marpet started the first eight games at left guard before missing last Sunday’s game against the Saints. Tampa started reserve tackle Joe Haeg at left guard last week. Starting center

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers placed wide receivers Jaydon Mickens and Cyril Grayson on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Saturday. Mickens has served as the team’s primary punt and kickoff returner this year, while Grayson was on the team’s practice squad. Mickens will not travel with the team to play against Carolina in Week 10. Wide receiver Scotty Miller, cornerback Sean Murphy-Bunting and safety Antoine Winfield Jr.

The Arizona Cardinals are activating offensive guard J.R. Sweezy (elbow) from Injured Reserve, and he’ll be back in action in Week 10 against the Bills, according to a source. Sweezy was injured in Week 5 and has been on IR ever since. The 31-year-old former seventh-round pick of the Seahawks back in 2012 is in his second season with the Cardinals. His return to Arizona’s

The Houston Texans are placing running back David Johnson (concussion) on Injured Reserve on Saturday, meaning that he’ll be out for a minimum of three weeks. It’s a tough blow for any fantasy managers that were counting on Johnson to try and get them over the hump and into the fantasy playoffs. Duke Johnson was a popular waiver-wire pickup this week after Johnson left the

Chicago Bears running back David Montgomery (concussion) has been ruled out of Monday night’s game against the Minnesota Vikings. Montgomery has been commanding a fairly large share of the touches in Chicago, seeing a snap rate of over 80 percent for five consecutive games before his injury in Week 9. With no Montgomery, expect to see a mix of Cordarrelle Patterson and Ryan Nall at

The Buffalo Bills placed four players on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Saturday, including cornerback Josh Norman, after he tested positive for the coronavirus. Norman and the others players placed on the COVID-19 list will not be able to play in Week 10 against the Cardinals. Tight end Tyler Kroft, cornerback Levi Wallace and safety Dean Marlow have been deemed high-risk close contacts. Defensive assistant coach

The Cleveland Browns are activating running back Nick Chubb (knee) from the Injured Reserve and he will play in Week 10’s game against the Houston Texans. Chubb has been on IR since injuring his knee during Week 4’s win over the Dallas Cowboys. The return of Chubb will be a big boost for a Cleveland offense that wants to feature him as a centerpiece. Chubb’s

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Stefon Diggs is a fantasy WR1. It’s not what we expected when he arrived in Buffalo to play in an offense that had been more run-centric, but Diggs has impressed so much that he has now joined that top tier of fantasy receivers. On the season, Diggs is averaging seven catches on 10.1 targets for 90.3 yards and 0.3 touchdowns. Arizona

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Dez Bryant remains on the team’s practice squad, but even if he’s activated for Sunday’s game against the Patriots, he should remain on the fantasy sidelines. Some were tempted by Bryant’s name recognition to play him in Week 9, but Bryant played just two snaps in that game. He’s clearly not ready to be a weapon for quarterback Lamar Jackson. Don’t

The New England Patriots allow fewer fantasy points per game to tight ends than any other NFL team. That’s potentially terrible news for Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews in Week 10, as he has to face off against this Pats team. Andrews was expected to be a top fantasy tight end this season, but considering his last three games have seen him total just

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Marquise Brownis an explosive player, but he’s also shown some poor consistency this season. Brown has just four catches over the past two games, including just one reception against the Steelers in Week 8. That one catch did go for a three-yard touchdown, but overall, Brown’s target share is troublesome. The Ravens face New England this week, a team that ranks

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson isn’t playing like his 2019 MVP self this year, but even with some struggles, fantasy managers should feel confident about plugging him in as their QB1 on Sunday night against the Patriots. While Jackson hasn’t thrown for more than two touchdowns in a game since Week 1, his upside as a runner remains, and New England’s defense allowed the last

The Minnesota Vikings have waived guard Pat Elflein (knee), who had spent the season on the Injured Reserve due to a knee injury. The Vikings will roll with second-round rookie offensive guard Ezra Cleveland moving forward. Losing Elflein doesn’t really change the outlook of things in Minnesota, as they were already operating without him, but a healthy Elflein could bolster another team’s offensive line. Keep

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver D.J. Chark Jr. (illness) is off the injury report and should be a full go on Sunday against the Green Bay Packers. With rookie quarterback Jake Luton under center, Jacksonville moved the ball well in Week 9 against Houston. That might be a tougher task against the Packers, but Chark seems poised to be Luton’s top option after a game in
