Fantasy Injury Updates: Le'Veon Bell, Josh Gordon, Evan Engram affect Week 10 start 'em, sit 'em decisions image

Le'Veon Bell and Evan Engram have both had injuries crop up in the early part of Week 10 that have their statuses for Sunday in doubt. That would put a damper on the Jets-Giants game that already could be kind of ugly. We're also tracking updates Josh Gordon's status for Monday Night Football for the Seahawks, and his possible activation would turn DK Metcalf into a possible Week 10 bust and create even more start 'em, sit 'em headaches.

Le'Veon Bell injury update

After going for a surprise MRI on Monday, Bell (knee, ankle) is not practicing Wednesday. Adam Gase said that Bell pushed him to practice but that he's "really sore," so they decided to keep him out, according to the New York Daily News. Gase added that he believes Bell will play Sunday against the Giants.

Bilal Powell has been a somewhat popular waiver pickup with Bell's status in doubt, but Gase apparently has some optimism that won't come to fruition. Bell is an auto-start if he's active, while Powell is a sleeper RB2 option against a weak Giants defense.

Will Josh Gordon play Week 10?

Gordon passed his Seahawks physical over the weekend, lining him up to play in Week 10 on Monday night against the 49ers. There hasn't yet been an indication as to how much Gordon will play right away, assuming he's active.

Against a tough 49ers defense, you can't rely on a big question mark like Gordon. His potential activation will put a damper on DK Metcalf's value, though. Given the tough matchup, Metcalf looks no better than a boom-or-bust FLEX option.

Evan Engram injury news

Engram is sitting out Wednesday's Giants' practice with a foot injury, and his MRI has been sent to noted foot specialist Dr. Robert Anderson. Engram's history of injuries makes him a legitimate question mark until good news comes out about his foot.

(Update: Engram reportedly has a mid-foot sprain and could miss multiple weeks.)

Engram is obviously in your fantasy lineups if he plays, and you wouldn't substitute Rhett Ellison if he doesn't. If Engram is the only tight end on your roster, you might want to hit a free agent pickup now just in case -- maybe O.J. Howard (vs. Cardinals), Eric Ebron or Jack Doyle (vs. Dolphins) are available.
