Cedric Tillman WR | CLE
Browns' Cedric Tillman: Questionable but expected to play
Tillman (hamstring) officially is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Jets, but he's expected to be activated from injured reserve and suit up, Kelsey Russo of the Browns' official site reports.
Tillman has been practicing without limitations, but an official move adding him to the active roster will need to be performed in order for the wide receiver to make his return to game action Sunday. Isaiah Bond (foot) has been ruled out, so Cleveland's wide receiver depth chart consists of Jerry Jeudy, Jamari Thrash, Gage Larvadain and Malachi Corley, pending Tillman's return.

Harrison Mevis K | LAR
Harrison Mevis: Kicking for Rams this week
Mevis will be the Rams' kicker Sunday at San Francisco, Gary Klein of the Los Angeles Times reports.
Mevis signed with the Rams' practice squad Wednesday to compete with struggling kicker Joshua Karty. Two days later, Rams coach Sean McVay named Mevis as the winner of the competition, at least for now. It's a job with potential for fantasy value, as the Rams have largely played well on both offense and defense this season.

Derrick Brown DE | CAR
Panthers' Derrick Brown: Ready for Sunday
Brown (elbow) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Saints.
The 27-year-old popped up on the Panthers' injury report Thursday as a limited practice participant due to an elbow issue. However, he upgraded to full participation Friday, suggesting he's moved past the issue in time to face New Orleans in Week 10. With Brown back at full health, he's expected to operate as the Panthers' top interior defensive lineman Sunday.

Harold Fannin Jr. TE | CLE
Browns' Harold Fannin: Questionable for Sunday
Fannin (hamstring) will be listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Jets, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
After being added to the Browns' Week 10 injury report following a 'DNP' on Thursday, Fannin returned to a limited practice Friday. However, given that he heads into the weekend with a 'questionable' designation, the tight end's status now will need to be monitored ahead of Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff. If Fannin ends up limited or out against the Jets, fellow TE David Njoku would be in line for added snaps, with Blake Whiteheart and Brenden Bates available to work in complementary roles.

Isaiah Bond WR | CLE
Browns' Isaiah Bond: Won't play this week
Bond (foot) won't play Sunday against the Jets, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.
With Bond sidelined and thus targeting a return to action Sunday, Nov. 16 against the Ravens, fellow WRs Jerry Jeudy, Jamari Thrash and Gage Larvadain are candidates to see added snaps Sunday. Additionally, Cedric Tillman (hamstring, questionable) is expected to be activated off IR ahead of Week 10 action, and if that occurs, he could immediately step into a key role in Cleveland's passing offense.

TreVeyon Henderson RB | NE
Patriots' TreVeyon Henderson: On track to lead backfield Sunday
With Rhamondre Stevenson (toe) having been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, Henderson once again is in line to see added backfield work this weekend.
In Stevenson's absence in the Patriots' 24-23 win over the Falcons in Week 9, Henderson started and recorded a 75 percent snap share en route to carrying 14 times for 55 yards and catching four of his six targets for 32 yards, while Terrell Jennings was on the field for 25 percent of New England's snaps on offense, rushing 11 times for 35 yards and a TD and hauling in his only target for nine yards. Against Tampa Bay, look for the timeshare to continue to lean in Henderson's favor, a context that gives him Week 10 fantasy lineup viability. Meanwhile, Jennings offers an option for those in deeper formats who are scrambling for RB help this week.

Kayshon Boutte WR | NE
Patriots' Kayshon Boutte: Ruled out for Sunday
Coach Mike Vrabel said Friday that Boutte (hamstring) will be out for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers.
Boutte thus will target a return to action Thursday night against the Jets. In Boutte's absence, rookie WR Kyle Williams figures to see added snaps Week 10, while Stefon Diggs, DeMario Douglas and Mack Hollins also profile as candidates to handle a portion of the targets that would normally go to Boutte.

Rhamondre Stevenson RB | NE
Patriots' Rhamondre Stevenson: Won't play Sunday
Coach Mike Vrabel said Friday that Stevenson (toe) will be out for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers.
Stevenson, who was inactive for the Patriots' Week 9 win over the Falcons, thus will target a return to action next Thursday night against the Jets. In Stevenson's continued absence versus Tampa Bay, look for TreVeyon Henderson (who started and logged a 75 percent snap share en route to carrying 14 times and being targeted six times against Atlanta) to head the Patriots' Week 10 backfield, while Terrell Jennings (who was on the field for 25 percent of the team's snaps on offense last weekend, rushing 11 times and recording one target) also should handle his share of complementary touches Sunday.

Tetairoa McMillan WR | CAR
Panthers' Tetairoa McMillan: Coach concerned by hamstring injury
Panthers head coach Dave Canales acknowledged Friday that there's "concern'" about McMillan's hamstring after something "popped up" during Friday's practice, Alex Zietlow of The Charlotte Observer reports.
McMillan was added to the injury report Friday, listed as a limited participant in practice with a 'questionable' designation for Sunday's game against New Orleans. Canales said McMillan took a few practice reps after first noticing discomfort, but the wideout was then shut down for the rest of the day. The Panthers will evaluate McMillan on Saturday morning, at which point the team may or may not share any new information. Canales didn't make it sound like the hamstring injury is serious, but he did seem to acknowledge doubt about McMillan's Week 10 availability.

Adam Trautman TE | DEN
Broncos' Adam Trautman: Minimal production against Raiders
Trautman caught his lone target for two yards in Sunday's 10-7 win over the Raiders.
Trautman once again led all Denver tight ends in offensive snap share, playing 42 of 61 snaps Thursday. Meanwhile, fellow tight ends Evan Engram and Marcedes Lewis played 27 and 20 snaps, respectively. With that said, Trautman offered little production based on his usage as a blocking specialist. It was Engram, however, who saw five targets in the contest, the second most among all Broncos pass catchers. The 28-year-old Trautman should remain far off the fantasy radar when the Broncos host the Chiefs in Week 11.
