As Week 10 of the fantasy football season approaches, owners need to keep tabs on pass catchers who have the chance to carry a "questionable" tag ahead of this week's action. As things currently stand, Keenan Allen, Darren Waller, Deebo Samuel, and David Njoku are the most notable wide receivers and tight ends worth keeping an eye on. Should any of these fantasy-relevant players be ruled "out," start 'em, sit 'em decisions will be even tougher.
Below, we'll give you the latest news on these pass catchers and break down how their injuries could potentially affect your Week 10 start 'em, sit 'em moves.

WEEK 10 FANTASY PICKS: Sleepers | Busts | Start 'em, sit 'em
Keenan Allen injury update, Week 10 fantasy outlook
Allen (hamstring) has not participated in practice this week and is considered "day-to-day," according to head coach Brandon Staley.
Allen aggravated the same hamstring that kept him out from Weeks 2-6 during the team's Week 8 bye and could potentially miss his seventh game this season. It's not wise for Allen to play on a less than 100-percent hamstring, as he could aggravate it once again. Should Allen fail to play this Sunday night against the 49ers, expect Josh Palmer, DeAndre Carter, and Gerald Everett to command a high target share with Mike Williams still nursing an ankle injury. Palmer, Carter, and Everett are all worth starting, with Palmer having the most upside as a solid WR2.

Darren Waller injury update, Week 10 fantasy outlook
UPDATE: Waller (hamstring) has been placed on injured reserve, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter, meaning he'll be out until at least Week 14.
Waller (hamstring) logged a limited session on Wednesday, according to the Raiders' official injury report. A limited session doesn't mean too much for Waller, who's practiced the past couple of weeks but has ultimately been ruled "out."
Should Waller miss Week 10's matchup against the Colts, Foster Moreau profiles as a formidable streaming option, as he's logged a high snap share during Waller's absence. Moreau draws a solid matchup against a Colts' defense ranking in the top-half of the league in most FPPG allowed to TEs (10.7).

Deebo Samuel injury update, Week 10 fantasy outlook
Samuel (hamstring) returned to practice in full on Wednesday, boosting his chances of suiting up on Sunday night against the Chargers. Samuel missed the 49ers most recent game against the Rams in Week 8 and got to heal up during the team's bye in Week 9.
Expect Samuel to be on the field for SNF, where he'll be a solid WR1/2 against a middle-of-the-pack Chargers pass defense. Christian McCaffery's presence does cap his upside, but Samuel's big-play ability always gives him boom potential.

David Njoku injury update, Week 10 fantasy outlook
UPDATE: The Browns have listed David Njoku as OUT for this Sunday's game against the Dolphins, according to Adam Schefter.
Njoku (ankle) was seen off to the side of practice on a bike during Thursday's session, according to the Akron Beacon Journal's Chris Easterling. He had previously missed Cleveland's practice on Wednesday.

Njoku missed the Browns most recent matchup against the Bengals in Week 8 and had an extra week to recover during Cleveland's Week 9 bye, but a DNP to start the week isn't the best sign for his availability. Should Njoku return to game action, he draws a juicy matchup against a Dolphins' defense allowing the fourth-most FPPG to TEs (12.8). If he's unable to go, fellow TE Harrison Bryant is worth a flier in deeper leagues.
