2024 Week 10 NFL Fantasy Injury Preview

Follow Dr. Edwin Porras on his fantasy football account here and see what his day job is in the Denver area

Christian McCaffrey: Achilles/calf

This has been a long time coming and with Jordan Mason potentially still dealing with the shoulder injury from a month ago, CMC will (likely) get close to a full workload. There’s no need to wait and see one of the most electric athletes we’ve seen on an NFL field the past decade. The last test is getting through a full game. Even though that’s not guaranteed, its now or never.

Projected Return: Week 10

AJ Brown: MCL Sprain

After knee injuries WRs tend to bounce back showing good peripherals and Week Winner Rates. There’s some re-injury risk baked in but overall Brown should be back in every lineup.

Projected Return: Week 10

CeeDee Lamb: AC Joint

The bigger question (AC joint reinjury notwithstanding) is how much Cooper Rush will force feed Lamb and how well that offense can perform. This is not likely a ceiling game overall for Lamb. In fact, his ceiling is capped ROS with Dak out. Specifically for this week though, expect a dip in YAC.

Projected Return: Week 10

Drake London: Hip/Oblique

Like Keenan Allen in 2018, London was limited all week in practice. Expect him to play with some level of limitation against the Saints. Still, fire him up everywhere despite the mild risk of reinjury.

Projected Return: Week 10

Dallas Godert: Hamstring

Should be back. Small chance of reinjury but the Eagles tend to be conservative and Godert should be safe to play at full tilt.

Projected Return: Week 10

Kyle Pitts: Hamstring

Pitts is on the report again with a hamstring issue. Even though he was a full participant, this is an issue he hasn’t been able to shake for a couple of years now. In a splitting hairs scenario, you can lean the other direction despite the good matchup.

Projected Return: Week 10
