It helps explain his declining usage — Ridley played just 27 of 50 snaps on Sunday. Nobody needs to be holding Ridley in a shallow league at this point either way, but this at least gives you some hope that there could be fantasy volume if you have Ridley in a deep league.

Tuten was listed as DNP with the same ankle/foot injuries he played through last Thursday. He was clearly limited in the Jaguars’ Week 9 win over the Ravens and opens Week 10 not practicing. It’s still early in the week, so this may just be injury maintenance for the 23-year-old. A practice later in the week will ease fantasy managers’ concerns, but a split in touches with Chris Rodriguez is certainly on the table again for Week 10 against the Titans.

Froholdt is the Cardinals’ starting center and is trending to miss Week 10 against the Rams as he deals with a concussion. Backup interior offensive lineman Jon Gaines (ankle) also missed practice, leaving the Cardinals’ offensive line depleted with a matchup against Myles Garrett and Aaron Donald coming up this week.

Dawkins did not practice last week due to a rib injury, missing the Bills’ Week 9 win over the Vikings. he returns to practice in a limited fashion to open Week 10, giving him a chance to return against the Jets.

Garrett returned from injured reserve and played in Week 9 against the Commanders. A limited listing indicates the 30-year-old will be managing his practice reps as he ramps back up from the knee injury. Expect Garrett to play in Week 10 against the Cardinals.

Avila aggravated a hamstring injury and starts out the week not practicing. Rams head coach Sean McVay said Monday that Avila will miss some time, but may not go on injured reserve as the Rams are out of return slots. Expect Avila to miss Week 10 against the Cardinals.

Curl played through a foot injury in Week 9 but picked up a toe injury. He starts out the week not practicing but will have a chance to play Week 10 against the Cardinals if he can get a practice in later this week.

Ferguson was listed as a DNP for the Rams’ Wednesday walk-through. Rams head coach Sean McVay said earlier this week that Ferguson is likely out a couple week, so this comes as no surprise. Meanwhile, fellow tight ends Davis Allen (oblique) and Colby Parkinson (ribs) were both listed as limited participants. Allen and Parkinson are trending towards playing in Week 10 against the Cardinals, with Parkinson operating more as a pass-catcher and Allen as a blocker.

Lloyd was presumably a full go in practice on Wednesday as he did not appear on the Packers’ injury report at all to open Week 10. This indicates he will be ready to play this week against the Vikings, despite missing Week 9 due to a knee injury. With Josh Jacobs out, Lloyd will see backfield opportunities once again. Kaleb Johnson projects to get a shot at the lead back role initially, but Lloyd has a passing-down role in the backfield. In the midst of an inefficient season and facing a daunting Vikings defense, Lloyd is a shaky FLEX at best for fantasy teams in Week 10.

The Ravens currently have Tyler Loop on injured reserve and lost Jake Moody to the Falcons this week. This prompted a couple of kicker workouts this week and led to the team signing Patterson to be the kicker, at least until Loop returns. Patterson made 27-of-29 field goals for the Dolphins last season and 7-of-9 field goals this season. Miami released him in October and he finds a new home in Baltimore a few weeks later. Patterson will kick for the Ravens on Monday Night Football against the Chargers, but doesn’t have much fantasy value with a Ravens offense missing Lamar Jackson.

Kincaid has successfully played through a couple of injuries this season, and we expect that to be the case again this week, when the Bills face the Jets. Kincaid’s early-week limited participation puts him on track to play. He is a TE1 in this divisional showdown.
