Ravens Rookie RB is Good to Go! ✅
Plus, Nico Collins is OUT – and could Tank Dell double down on last week's performance?
All of the most important fantasy news over the last 24 hours – all in one place.
Texans WR Nico Collins ruled out for Houston’s Week 10 clash with Bengals
With Collins out, expect WRs Tank Dell and Noah Brown – who led all of Houston’s pass catchers in scoring last week even with Collins in the lineup – to get increased run in the passing game. While it’s unlikely that Stroud follows up his 470 yard, 5 TD performance with another of that nature against a relatively stout Bengals defense, Stroud’s weekly upside remains as high as any fantasy quarterback’s moving forward. That gives Dell and Noah Brown obvious WR3 appeal with potential high WR2 upside this week, and both can confidently be placed into lineups this week in what could be one of the most competitive games of the week. While Collins is missing this game, he was able to log limited practices during the week, suggesting that this is not a long term injury and is something he has a solid chance to return from in Week 11.
Ravens rookie RB Keaton Mitchell will play in Week 10 after dealing with midweek hamstring injury
After appearing on the injury report throughout the week with the always-dreaded hamstring injury, Mitchell is reportedly good to go and set to suit up against a tough Browns defense in Week 10. Mitchell gave the Ravens and his fantasy managers a taste of his home-run ability last week against the Seahawks, and he’ll look to replicate that kind of production this week against a similarly tough opponent. Unfortunately for Mitchell, Baltimore’s backfield remains a relative committee, but he passes the eye test and could be a prime candidate for increased volume if Justice Hill would underperform at any point moving forward. While Mitchell is unlikely to unseat Gus Edwards for the goal line role – which Edwards has held onto over the course of the season so far – his high efficiency as a runner and the touchdown upside that Baltimore’s offense presents makes him an intriguing flex play with upside in Week 10.
