MORE WEEK 10: Top waiver pickups | FAAB budget planner | Buy-low, sell-high
Odell Beckham Jr. update
Beckham Jr. has been officially released by the Browns, meaning he's on waivers, and teams will have until 4 p.m. ET on Tuesday to submit claims on him. The waiver order starts with Detroit and ends with Arizona -- from last in league standings to first. If he's unclaimed, he'll enter free agency and will be free to negotiate with any team.
If you own him in fantasy, it's probably best to wait and see where he ends up before doing anything with him. Hopefully, he'll land in one of the spots SN identified as his best fits.
WEEK 10 PPR RANKINGS:
Quarterback | Running back | Wide receiver | Tight end | D/ST | Kicker
DeAndre Hopkins injury update
Hopkins (hamstring) was out in Week 9 and is being labeled "day-to-day" heading into a matchup with Carolina. He's one of those players who is always tough to bench, and ideally Arizona would just rule him out if he's not going to be full-go. If he does play, there certainly is a risk he's on a snap count.
Given the upside, we still rank him as the WR9 in standard and WR8 in PPR leagues. Still, we can't emphasize enough there is a ton of risk given the injury concerns and the matchup with Carolina.
WEEK 10 STANDARD RANKINGS:
Quarterback | Running back | Wide receiver | Tight end | D/ST | Kicker
Dawson Knox injury update
Knox (hand) is expected to practice Wednesday but will likely be limited. We will be at the mercy of practice reports, and this situation could come down to a game-time decision. If he does play, he's instantly considered a TE1 against the Jets, who are giving up the eighth-most fantasy points per game to TEs. He might be on a snap count, but the upside is probably worth the risk at such a scarce position.
If he's out, we no longer consider Tommy Sweeney a streaming option based on his lack of production in the two games Knox missed.
Noah Fant COVID update
Fant (reserve/COVID list) will return to practice this week for Denver, so we can expect him to be ready to go against Philadelphia.
The Eagles are the league's worst defense against fantasy TEs, but with Fant's inconsistency and failure to smash in favorable matchups this season, we rank him as the TE13 in standard and PPR leagues. His upside is much higher, but the guys ranked ahead of him are safer options.
Corey Davis injury update
Davis (hip) has missed each of New York's last two games but is expected to be ready to go against Buffalo in Week 10. His outlook is tough to analyze with the unknowns at the quarterback position and the tough matchup with Buffalo. Add in the perceived re-injury risk, and he's a concerning option at wideout this week.
With those things considered, we rank him modestly as the WR38 in standard in PPR leagues as he faces off with the league's No. 1 defense against fantasy WRs. Surely he'll get a ton of targets, though, so although his floor is low, a WR4 ranking seems appropriate.
