NFL Injury Report, Week 10: Latest news, updates for Puka Nacua, Patrick Mahomes, more players for fantasy football
Key Points:
- Patrick Mahomes returned from an elbow injury in Week 9, but remains day-to-day with the Chiefs facing the Falcons in Week 10; Justin Fields would start if Mahomes sits, impacting fantasy value for receivers Rashee Rice and Travis Kelce.
- Seattle QB Sam Darnold is out for Week 10 with an injury, while Drew Lock is expected to start against the Raiders, making Lock a viable streaming option in fantasy leagues.
- Arizona QB Gardner Minshew is likely out for the season with a torn UCL, with rookie Carson Beck expected to start; this change affects WR targets, especially with Michael Wilson also out for the season.
- Patriots RBs Rhamondre Stevenson and TreVeyon Henderson are dealing with knee and illness issues respectively, potentially elevating Corey Kiner and Lan Larison as lead backs for Week 10.
- Rams WR Puka Nacua is likely headed to injured reserve due to knee and turf toe injuries, further depleting an already thin receiving corps; Matthew Stafford's fantasy outlook takes a hit while the Rams lean more on their running backs.
