Multiple NFL players are officially ruled out or listed as questionable for Week 10, with several key fantasy assets sidelined or uncertain ahead of Sunday’s slate.
Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown is listed as questionable with rib injuries but practiced in limited fashion and played through them last week — surpassing 16 fantasy points. He is expected to play Sunday against the New England Patriots. Patriots wide receiver A.J. Brown is also questionable with ankle and knee injuries but has averaged eight targets per game when playing over 75% of snaps. He faces a favorable matchup: the Lions have allowed the fourth-most fantasy points per game to wide receivers.
