Live Blog: Week 10
Week 10 is in full swing and the fantasy football regular season is winding down as the playoffs approach. Sunday has plenty of fantasy football goodness in store, and we will be breaking it all down as it happens in the Rotoworld Week 10 Live Blog. Injury updates, statistical breakdowns, running back splits, target totals, and other fantasy tidbits can be found below as soon as the games kickoff at 1:00 PM ET.
* That will be a wrap for the Rotoworld Week 10 Live Blog. Thank you for joining me, and I will see you next Sunday! *
(6:27 PM): Demaryius Thomas is struggling today as a result of Peyton Manning's horrendous game. Thomas has just one catch for 17 yards in a nice matchup with Emmanuel Sanders hurting. Hopefully the second half has more production in store for Thomas and the Broncos.
(6:19 PM): Still no sign of C.J. Anderson today for Denver. Ronnie Hillman has nine touches for 28 yards on the afternoon.
(6:16 PM): Charcandrick West with a healthy 14 carries already today as the second half begins between Kansas City and Denver. With the Chiefs leading 19-0, West will likely finish the game with a big workload and is at 48 yards and a score on 14 carries so far.
(6:10 PM): * INJURY UPDATE * Julian Edelman has reportedly stayed in the locker room after halftime, and reports from New England are stating that he is out for the rest of the game. Look for more work for Danny Amendola when New England has the ball.
(6:04 PM): No further news has surfaced regarding Marshawn Lynch's Sunday night status, but reports early Sunday morning listed Lynch as 50/50 to play against Arizona. Thomas Rawls is in line to start if Lynch is a late scratch.
(6:01 PM): Cairo Santos had a fantastic first half with four field goals (the Andy Reid special) and one extra point. Santos had a long of 49.
(5:58 PM): With Dion Lewis out, LeGarrette Blount has received 12 of 13 touches for New England running backs today. James White has received one carry, but Blount has been the only back involved for the most part. No sign of Brandon Bolden yet.
(5:54 PM): Dwayne Harris just hauled in a touchdown pass from Eli Manning to put the Giants on top of New England 17-10. Manning is at 251 yards and two touchdowns at halftime, and is looking worlds better than his big brother today.
(5:45 PM): Teddy Bridgewater finished up the first half 9/14 for 85 yards and a score with Rhett Ellison the only Vikings player to catch more than one pass. Adrian Peterson is at 49 yards on 12 carries with Minnesota leading thanks to a Cordarrelle Patterson kickoff return.
(5:39 PM): Still no Julian Edelman (ankle) for New England. Danny Amendola has four catches for 28 yards so far today and should see a boost in work while Edelman is out.
(5:36 PM): Peyton Manning has now completed four passes to the Broncos and three passes to the Chiefs, as he has thrown three interceptions in the first half. Manning has thrown at least one pick in every game this season and is up to 16 on the season.
(5:34 PM): Derek Carr now has multiple touchdown passes in seven of nine games in 2015 and has thrown just five interceptions.
(5:26 PM): Derek Carr stays hot with a deep touchdown pass to Andre Holmes. That makes two touchdowns for Carr today, following two-straight four touchdown games in Weeks 8 and 9.
(5:22 PM): Same old running back mix for the Giants today so far. Rashad Jennings, Andre Williams, and Shane Vereen have all been used. No sign of Orleans Darkwa yet to complete the four-man rotation. This situation is terrible for fantasy purposes.
(5:14 PM): * INJURY UPDATE * Julian Edelman is on the New England sideline being looked at for a potential ankle injury and is now heading into the locker room. Updates to come.
(5:11 PM): Clive Walford just hauled in his third touchdown in the last four weeks and has been a nice red zone target for Derek Carr recently. Walford doesn't have more than two catches in a single game this season, but is noteworthy in dynasty leagues as he has a chance to develop in this young offense.
(5:09 PM): Another interception for Peyton Manning, as he now sits at 4/9 for 30 yards and two picks through the first quarter in Denver. Tough start so far for the Hall of Fame quarterback.
(5:06 PM): No sign of C.J. Anderson yet today, as Ronnie Hillman has handled the running work for Denver. Five carries and eight yards so far for Hillman, to go with one catch for four yards.
(5:01 PM): Dustin Hopkins is your leading fantasy kicker so far today, as he connected on four field goals and five extra points today in Washington's 47-14 win over New Orleans.
(4:49 PM): Odell Beckham Jr. wasting no time getting the Giants on the scoreboard today, catching an 87-yard touchdown pass from Eli Manning. This game had a huge Vegas total and it looks like it will live up to the lofty billing today as the Patriots and Giants are tied 7-7 early.
~
(4:47 PM): Latavius Murray dealt with concussion issues all wekk but is active today. Just 13 yards on Murray's first four carries, but it's good to see him active after taking a big hit in Week 9.
(4:42 PM): Life without Dion Lewis is beginning for New England and LeGarrette Blount handled seven carries for 29 yards on their opening drive. Tom Brady hit TE Scott Chandler to finish off the drive with a touchdown, and Blount owners can expect a lot more work today if New England keeps a lead.
(4:36 PM): Charcandrick West is off to a nice start today with four carries for 25 yards and score early for Kansas City. The hot start is encouraging for West in a tough matchup.
(4:30 PM): Aaron Rodgers just threw a second touchdown pass with :32 left as the Green Bay Packers attempt to comeback against Detroit. Two point conversion attempt no good, so Detroit will escape. James Starks ended at 96 total yards on the day with Eddie Lacy inactive.
(4:21 PM): Week 10 target leaders so far:
Running Backs
Jeremy Langford (9): 7 rec, 109 yds, TD
DeMarco Murray (8): 6 rec, 58 yds

Davante Adams (17): 8 rec, 64 yds
Antonio Brown (14): 10 rec, 139 yds, 2 TD
Kamar Aiken (14): 7 rec, 73 yds
Mike Evans (13): 8 rec, 126 yds

(4:15 PM): Teddy Bridgewater off to a quick start today as the afternoon games are underway. Bridgewater hit Rhett Ellison for an 11-yard score and the Vikings are up 7-0 at Oakland.
(4:10 PM): Jacksonville wins on a Jason Myers boot after a face mask penalty with no time left, and Detroit just scored, but left the door open for Aaron Rodgers by missing the PAT. Detroit leading Green Bay 18-10 with 1:57 left.
(4:00 PM): Chicago's rookie running back Jeremy Langford is having a second-straight monster day, as he is now at 182 total yards and two scores as Chicago is smashing St. Louis. Langford is both Chicago's leading rusher and receiver today while doing his best Matt Forte impression.
(3:57 PM): Aaron Rodgers finally got Green Bay into the end zone, hitting tight end Richard Rodgers with a short touchdown. Green Bay is trailing Detroit late, so Rodgers may scrounge up some more fantasy points before this game wraps up.
(3:50 PM): St. Louis showing their struggles when their defense and running game fall behind, as Nick Foles is just 15/31 for 173 yards with the Rams trailing Chicago 30-13. This offense simply can't move the ball right now without Gurley heavily involved.
(3:45 PM): Antonio Brown is going bonkers again today. Brown has 139 yards and two scores on 10 catches as the Steelers lead the Browns 30-9.
(3:41 PM): Joique Bell is still leading Detroit's backfield today, with 15 yards on 10 carries. Ameer Abdullah has 15 yards on five carries as the Lions' running game struggles continue. Theo Riddick has five touches today as well.
(3:38 PM): Gary Barnidge just caught his seventh touchdown of the season and has 65 yards on six catches to go with the score today. Barnidge has been quite a surprise this season but has been solid as a TE option since he broke out in Week 3.
(3:35 PM): Allen Robinson finally gets in the mix for Jacksonville, catching a 15-yard touchdown. Robinson has four grabs today for 35 yards and the score as half of the emerging "Allen Duo" in Jacksonville. We need a cool nickname for these guys.
(3:32 PM): The Green Bay Packers have not built off the momentum they found at the end of their Week 9 game at Carolina, trailing 12-3 against Detroit. Aaron Rodgers is just 18/32 passing for 148 yards.
~
(3:28 PM): Isaiah Crowell is at -9 yards on five carries and if that weren't bad enough, he just had a short touchdown run called back due to holding. Horrific day for the Cleveland running game, which has been the case for most of this season. Johnny Manziel is Cleveland's leading rusher at 17 yards on three carries.
(3:25 PM): * INJURY UPDATE * Sam Bradford appears to have a shoulder injury and is heading into the locker room.
(3:22 PM): Mike Evans is still struggling with drops, but has hit the 100 yard mark today on seven catches. 11 targets on the day for Evans.
(3:17 PM): Kirk Cousins just hooked up with Jordan Reed for the second time today, giving Cousins a four-pack of touchdown passes today. Washington is hammering New Orleans, and all parts of the Redskins offense are chipping in.
(3:12 PM): A couple players struggling in nice matchups today. DeAngelo Williams is at one yard on eight carries and Allen Robinson has just three catches for 20 yards on seven targets. These guys are running out of time to salvage their stat lines today.
(3:05 PM): With Eddie Lacy inactive, James Starks is at just 29 rushing yards on 10 carries as the Green Bay offense continues to struggle against Detroit.
(2:56 PM): Mark Ingram with just three carries today. Tim Hightower and C.J. Spiller are handling plenty of work for the Saints, but there has been no injury news regarding Ingram to this point. More to come.
(2:53 PM): Emmanuel Sanders is ACTIVE today, but is still a dicey start in fantasy leagues as he deals with an ankle injury.
(2:51 PM): We finally have a touchdown in Green Bay, as Brandon Pettigrew just scored for Detroit on his first catch of the day. 9-3 Detroit.
(2:33 PM): Early Sunday Target Leaders:
Running Backs
Lamar Miller (6): 5 rec, 50 yds, TD
Jeremy Langford (5): 4 rec, 104 yds, TD
Justin Forsett (4): 4 rec, 11 yds
Wide Receivers
Antonio Brown (12): 9 rec, 83 yds, TD
Kamar Aiken (10): 5 rec, 63 yds
Davante Adams (10): 7 rec, 55 yds
Dez Bryant (7): 4 rec, 41 yds
Jarvis Landry (7): 3 rec, 22 yds
Tight Ends
Greg Olsen (6): 6 rec, 51 yds
Eric Ebron (5): 3 rec, 15 yds
Jason Witten (4): 4 rec, 37 yds
Heath Miller (4): 3 rec, 36 yds
Delanie Walker (4): 3 rec, 52 yds
(2:26 PM): A few interesting notes from Green Bay: The Packers lead Detroit 3-0 and have yet to get their offense moving. Aaron Rodgers is at just 114 yards and running back James Starks has 27 yards on nine carries with Eddie Lacy out. The only bright spot so far is Davante Adams doing work in PPR leagues with seven catches for 55 yards. Hopefully the Packers can turn things around in the second half.
(2:23 PM): The St. Louis defense had given up a total of two offensive scores in four home games this season heading into Week 10. Naturally, they have allowed 24 points in the first half today, capped by a long screen pass touchdown by Jeremy Langford as the Bears lead the Rams 24-10. Jay Cutler is at 233 yards and three scores already today.
(2:18 PM): Kamar Aiken is up to 63 yards on five catches today and is capatilizing on the absence of Steve Smith as he has been targeted nine times. No other Ravens player has more than three targets on the afternoon.
~
(2:15 PM): Antonio Brown just scored for Pittsburgh and caught the two-point conversion as well, as Ben Roethlisberger has saved Brown's fantasy day. Brown is at 60 yards on seven catches with the score so far today. Also in Pittsburgh, DeAngelo Williams is at -3 yards on five carries today in an excellent matchup against Washington.
(2:11 PM): Zach Miller caught a touchdown in Week 9 and now has two already today for Chicago. Miller is up to 100 yards on four catches to go with the pair of scores while Martellus Bennett has just one catch for eight yards.
(2:08 PM): Jay Ajayi may be stealing some carries, but Lamar Miller is doing work in the passing game with three catches for 53 yards and a touchdown. 68 total yards and the score for Miller today.
(2:02 PM): Jay Ajayi is now cutting into Lamar Miller's workload in Miami and looking good in the process. Ajayi has 44 yards on three carries so far today.
(1:59 PM): Washington backfield update: Alfred Morris is leading the way in touches with 11, but Matt Jones is having the biggest impact for Washington today. Jones just ripped off a 78-yard score on a screen pass and is up to 133 total yards on five touches today. Jones is the back you want in Washington.
(1:55 PM): Crockett Gillmore scores on a touchdown pass from Joe Flacco. Gillmore now has four touchdowns on the season and will be a back-end TE1 for the remainder of the season with Steve Smith out.
(1:52 PM): Brandin Cooks continues to light up the scoreboard along with Drew Brees, hauling in a long touchdown for his second score of the day. Cooks is now at 64 yards and two touchdowns on the day and has been a great fantasy option during the recent scoring binge from New Orleans. 14-14 in Washington.
(1:48 PM): Cam Newton is on a heater today as he has thrown for 115 yards and a score on a perfect 10 of 10 passing. Just four rushing yards so far for Newton, but he has looked great passing the ball thus far.
(1:46 PM): Cleveland backfield update: Duke Johnson has five touches so far to just two for Isaiah Crowell. Crowell has accounted for zero total yards.
(1:44 PM): In game number two under new OC Jim Bob Cooter, the Lions' backfield has been split between Joique Bell and Ameer Abdullah. Three carries for Bell, two for Abdullah so far.
(1:40 PM): With Steve Smith done for the season in Baltimore, we will be keeping an eye on the target distribution from Joe Flacco. Kamar Aiken has benefited so far, with five targets but only one catch. We will update this situation throughout the day.
(1:34 PM): Touchdown machine Allen Hurns is at it again! Hurns just scored on his first catch of the day and now has a touchdown in SEVEN straight games. Hurns and Allen Robinson are forming an impressive duo in Jacksonville.
(1:32 PM): DeMarco Murray with six carries early for Philadelphia, but Ryan Mathews scores on a short run to put the Eagles up 16-3. Both backs will likely see lots of work today with Philadelphia handling Miami early.
(1:30 PM): Big Ben already helping the fantasy fortunes of the Steelers, as Martavis Bryant just hauled in a long pass. Also, the Pittsburgh emergency quarterback is reportedly Heath Miller, which would be entertaining to say the least.
(1:25 PM): Brandin Cooks just scored after a long run from Mark Ingram to get the Saints into the redzone. Cooks now has four touchdowns in the last three weeks and is on quite a roll.
(1:23 PM): Alfred Morris with all four of the running back carries so far for Washington. We will keep an eye on this situation but Morris hasn't handled more than six carries in a game since Week 6.
(1:20 PM): * INJURY UPDATE * Landry Jones is questionable to return with an ankle injury, meaning Ben Roethlisberger will enter the game for Pittsburgh.
(1:19 PM): Jonathan Stewart just rumbled in from 16 yards for Carolina as the Panthers leads the Titans 7-0. Carolina looking to stay undefeated as they face Marcus Mariota and company on the road. Stewart has been reliable if not spectaular this season.
(1:15 PM): * INJURY UPDATE * Pittsburgh quarterback Landry Jones appears injured, meaning that we could be seeing Ben Roethlisberger back under center for the Steelers. Ben was active but listed as Jones' backup as he deals with his own injury. Updates to come.
(1:14 PM): Jordan Reed just found the end zone for Washington as the Saints' defense continues to struggle. Reed is a locked-in TE1 when healthy.
(1:11 PM): Todd Gurley gets the scoring started today with a short touchdown plunge. Gurley now has five scores on the season and racked up 51 total yards on the Rams' first drive.
(1:08 PM): Aaron Rodgers looking good early. Rodgers is 5/5 for 31 yards on the Green Bay opening drive with three passes to Davante Adams.
(1:03 PM): Alright, folks. Good luck in Week 10. Let's get some W's!
