Ainge had a nondescript week of practice, but led the South on a game-winning, 14-play drive that ended on Florida WR Andre Caldwell’s two-yard end around score. The injury prone Ainge projects as a second-day pick.

Ward went down with a leg injury after a couple of pass-breakups in the third quarter. He limped to sideline and was later carted to the locker room. The Colts declared Ward questionable to return.

Smith took a big hit on the Jets’ last play of the first half and was evaluated for a concussion at halftime. Rookie Cade Klubnik played the first drive and led the Jets on a 61-yard drive that ended in a field goal. However, with Smith cleared to return, Klubnik will head back to the bench.

Douglas finished third among the team’s wideouts in targets behind A.J. Brown and Mack Hollins. Brown left the game with a hamstring injury in the fourth quarter and did not return. His absence could open up more work for Douglas, but the Pats are on bye after their trip to Germany. Fantasy managers don’t need to hold Douglas through their week off.

He was sandwiched between a pair of defenders on a third-quarter run and eventually walked off between trainers. Marks had 65 total yards before leaving, including one catch for 15 yards.

Garrett and Aaron Donald should have productive outings against a Cardinals offensive line that will be playing with a third-string left tackle and a backup center. Rookie QB Carson Beck will also be making his first career start. The Rams D/ST unit should put up points today.

McDuffie sat out in Week 9 after injuring his back in Week 8. He missed Weeks 6-7 with a groin injury. Getting him back in the lineup provides the Rams’ secondary with a serious boost. He should play very well against a Cardinals wide receiver corps made up of backups. Myles Garrett (knee) and S Kam Curl (toe) are also active. The Rams declared QB Ty Simpson, S Maximus Pulley, LS Joe Cardona, OLB Darryl Peterson, OL Steve Avila, OL Keagen Trost and OLB Desjuan Johnson. Simpson will serve as the emergency third quarterback.

Williams is active despite only logging one limited practice this week. The future Hall of Famer will man his normal spot at bookend left tackle against the Cowboys. Linebacker Dre Greenlaw is also active, giving the Niners two of their key starters in this one. The 49ers have declared QB Kurtis Rourke, WR Mike Evans, OL Enrique Cruz Jr., LB Tatum Bethune, and WR Brandin Cooks inactive for Week 10.

A.J. Brown left this game late with a hamstring injury but was struggling before getting banged up. With the WR1 doing nothing, Hollins stepped up with team-highs in catches and yards. He was, however, catching passes from Tommy DeVito, who took over for an injured Drake Maye. Hollins could see more work if Romeo Doubs remains on IR and Brown is out once again, but we won’t know much about either player until after the Pats’ upcoming bye week.

Porter and fellow corner DaRon Bland are both active for this one, giving the Cowboys their top two corners against a good 49ers offense. We’ll see if Porter and Bland can slow Brock Purdy and company at home in Jerry World as the Cowboys look to move to 5-5 this season. The Cowboys ruled out S P.J. Locke, LB Donovan Ezeiruaku, WR Jonathan Mingo, S Juanyeh Thomas, OT Ajani Cornelius, TE Jake Ferguson, and DB Derion Kendrick.

Cooper Jr. was injured on the Jets’ first play of the game when Breece Hall was tackled into the back of his leg. Cooper Jr. has been battling an ankle injury throughout the season, so there is some concern that this could lead to an extended absence.
