  • Chargers' Jaret Patterson: Elevated for Week 10

    The Chargers elevated Patterson from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday.

    Patterson will be elevated to the Chargers' active roster for a third consecutive week, and he is expected to serve as the primary backup to Kimani Vidal on Sunday. Patterson has turned 20 carries into 74 yards in two regular-season games, though Vidal will be the top pass-catching back, as the former has not recorded a target this season.

  • Patriots' D'Ernest Johnson: Elevated for Week 10

    The Patriots elevated Johnson from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday.

    Johnson has been elevated to the Patriots' active roster for a second consecutive week. He will serve as the RB3 behind TreVeyon Henderson and Terrell Jennings and will also serve as a returner on kickoffs in Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, per Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site. Johnson played five snaps on special teams without showing up in the box score otherwise during the Patriots' Week 9 win over the Falcons.

  • Michael Carter RB | ARI

    Cardinals' Michael Carter: Joins active roster

    The Cardinals signed Carter from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday, Darren Urban of the team's official site reports.

    Arizona used up its third and final elevation for Carter this past Monday at Dallas, only for him to log no snaps on offense or special teams despite being active. Emari Demercado (15 touches, 40 percent snap share) and Bam Knight (11 touches, 57 percent snap share) ended up splitting the backfield reps, and with Trey Benson (knee) still on injured reserve, such a breakdown likely will continue Sunday at Seattle. As a result, Carter currently doesn't hold much sway in terms of fantasy.

  • Trey Sermon RB | PIT

    Steelers' Trey Sermon: Signed to active roster

    The Steelers signed Sermon to the active roster from their practice squad Saturday.

    Sermon had already been elevated for the maximum three games before being signed to the active roster. However, the 26-year-old has played just one offensive snap across those outings, and he should continue to see the majority of his playing time on special teams going forward.

  • Aaron Jones RB | MIN

    Vikings' Aaron Jones: Expected to play vs. Baltimore

    Jones (shoulder/toe) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Ravens but is expected to play, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

    Jones ended Week 10 prep with back-to-back limited practices to draw the questionable tag, but he relayed to reporters after Friday's session that he'll "be in a good spot" by Sunday, per Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com. Jones' official status may not be known until the Vikings announce their list of inactive players approximately 90 minutes before the 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff, but the veteran running back is trending toward being available for the Vikings. Jordan Mason and Zavier Scott would be in line for more backfield snaps if Jones is ruled out or operates on a snap count.

  • Malik Davis RB | DAL

    Malik Davis: Signs with Dallas' practice squad

    The Cowboys signed Davis to their practice squad Friday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

    Davis was not claimed by another team after Dallas waived him Tuesday, and now he's back with the club's practice squad. With Javonte Williams and rookie fifth-rounder Jaydon Blue currently the only healthy running backs on the 53-man roster, Davis again could become a candidate for elevation after the Cowboys' bye in Week 10.

  • Jakob Johnson RB | HOU

    Texans' Jakob Johnson: Not ready to return

    Johnson (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Jaguars.

    Johnson was a full participant in practice all week, but he's not quite ready to return from injured reserve. Given his ability to ramp up his practice participation, the seventh-year pro should be activated from IR ahead of the Texans' Week 11 clash against the Titans on Sunday, Nov. 16.

  • Kene Nwangwu RB | NYJ

    Jets' Kene Nwangwu: Cleared for Week 10

    Nwangwu (concussion) does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Browns, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

    Nwangwu was unable to play against the Bengals in Week 8 while in the league's concussion protocol. He had more time to progress in his recovery courtesy of the Jets' Week 9 bye and was a full participant during Week 10 prep. Nwangwu has passed the final step of being cleared by an independent neurologist and will play against Cleveland on Sunday, when he will mostly serve on special teams as a kickoff returner while providing depth in the backfield behind Breece Hall and Isaiah Davis.

  • Khalil Herbert RB | NYJ

    Jets' Khalil Herbert: Officially questionable for Week 10

    Herbert (groin) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Browns, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

    Herbert popped up on Thursday's injury report due to a groin issue that limited his practice participation over the final two days of Week 10 prep. His status may not be known until the Jets announce their list of inactive players approximately 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff. If Herbert is not cleared to play, then Kene Nwangwu would serve as the Jets' RB3 behind Breece Hall and Isaiah Davis.

  • Lions' Craig Reynolds: Chance to return Week 10

    Reynolds (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Commanders.

    Reynolds logged a trio of limited practices during Week 10 prep, and he has a chance of returning from a one-game absence due to a hamstring injury. Even if he were cleared to play against Washington, Reynolds carries very little value from a fantasy perspective for as long as he operates behind Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery. Sione Vaki is slated to step up as the Lions' RB3 if Reynolds is unable to play Sunday.
