Patrick Mahomes and Matt Ryan both look likely to return to bolster the Week 10 fantasy QB rankings. Ryan missed Week 8 and then had a Week 9 bye, while Mahomes looks to be at the front end of his timetable for returning from his dislocated knee. Each boosts the WR2 on their team, Sammy Watkins for Mahomes and Calvin Ridley for Ryan, into much stronger starting territory in your fantasy WR spots, perhaps making start 'em, sit 'em decisions a little easier this week.

Will Patrick Mahomes play Week 10?
Mahomes got some reps in pregame Sunday, and despite reports that he could play through Saturday, he was ruled inactive and Matt Moore started again for Kansas City. Considering how close Mahomes reportedly came to playing, it seems likely he will suit up in Week 10. He also jumped all over Harrison Butker after the game-winning field goal, so his knee obviously feels decent - the biggest conceptual risk would be a re-dislocation.

If Mahomes plays, he's obviously starting for your fantasy team. Tyreek Hill and Travis Kelce should be fantasy starters regardless. Sammy Watkins probably gets the biggest boost if Mahomes is back, going from a borderline play to a pretty much must-start with his high-end QB.

Matt Ryan injury update
Last week, Falcons coach Dan Quinn told reporters that he expects Ryan to be ready to play in Week 10 following Atlanta's Week 9 bye. Ryan missed Week 8 due to his ankle injury, and Matt Schaub threw for a ton of yards in his place.
WEEK 10 PPR RANKINGS: Running back | Wide receiver | Tight end
While it's not always pretty, it seems like the Atlanta offense can throw for a lot of yards no matter the Matt under center. Ryan's return boosts Calvin Ridley into more firm starter territory against the Saints in Week 10, and you were already starting Julio Jones and Austin Hooper.
