Brandin Cooks Injury Update
Brandin Cooks missed last Thursday's game and was listed with a wrist injury. While he also missed the game due to personal reasons, the injury label has followed him into Week 10. The Texans officially listed him as questionable for Sunday's game against the New York Giants.

Cooks has had some interesting quotes to the media this past week in displaying his displeasure towards the Texans and his situation about not being traded before the deadline. The 29-year-old should be considered a fringe WR3 against the Giants this week if he does suit up.
Keenan Allen Injury Update
Keenan Allen has not practiced since returning in Week 7 before the Chargers' bye week due to a hamstring injury that has lingered for the majority of the season. The 30-year-old did not participate in practice this past week and was officially ruled out for Sunday's game against the San Francisco 49ers on Friday.
Keenan Allen (hamstring) and Mike Williams (ankle) are both OUT for Sunday at 49ers.

Allen has stated that he will not return to the field unless he is 100%, so even if he practices on a limited basis next week, he would still be in danger of missing the game. Until Allen can return to practice in full, fantasy managers should find alternatives as they have all season.
Mecole Hardman Injury Update
Mecole Hardman popped up on the injury report this past Wednesday due to "abdominal soreness." The 24-year-old failed to return to practice in any capacity and was officially ruled out for Sunday's game against the Jacksonville Jaguars on Friday.

— Pete Sweeney (@pgsween) November 11, 2022
Hardman's absence will create opportunities for newly acquired wideout Kadarius Toney and potentially open the door for rookie Skyy Moore to get some reps Sunday. JuJu Smith-Schuster is the only clear-cut fantasy starter out of all the Kansas City wide receivers this weekend, but Toney will be someone to keep an eye on with Hardman out.
Nico Collins Injury Update
Nico Collins has missed the past two weeks due to a groin injury he suffered in Week 7 against Las Vegas. The 23-year-old returned to practice this week in a limited fashion and was officially listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the New York Giants on Friday.
Texans WR Nico Collins (groin) and DT Maliek Collins (chest) back at practice for second straight day.
— Brooks Kubena (@BKubena) November 10, 2022
With Brandin Cooks (wrist) also listed as questionable, the Texans could be short-handed once again Sunday. Chris Moore would see the biggest boost in targets if either receiver misses the game but he would not be a recommended option unless both Cooks and Collins are ruled out. Collins would be a risky Flex option if he suits up and Cooks sits out.
Josh Reynolds Injury Update
Josh Reynolds missed last week's game against the Packers due to a back injury he suffered in Week 8. The 27-year-old failed to log any practice time this past week and was officially ruled out for Sunday's game against Chicago on Friday.
As expected, everybody but Josh Reynolds at #Lions practice today.
Kerby Joseph no longer in the red no-contact jersey.
— Jeremy Reisman (@DetroitOnLion) November 11, 2022
Kalif Raymond will take Reynolds' place once again this week but is not a recommended fantasy option, with the Lions struggling to score over the past month. Amon-Ra St. Brown remains the only clear fantasy starter at the wide receiver position for Detroit at the moment.
Mike Williams Injury Update
Mike Williams suffered an ankle sprain back in Week 7 against Seattle and was expected to miss at least four weeks due to the injury. The 28-year-old missed all of practice this past week and was officially ruled out for Sunday's game against San Francisco on Friday.
Brandon Staley says there’s a “good chance” WR Mike Williams will be back in practice in some capacity next week.
— Daniel Popper (@danielrpopper) November 11, 2022
There is a chance Williams can return to the field next week against the Kansas City Chiefs with him expected to return to practice, but he will need to log three straight limited sessions to have a shot at suiting up. It is more likely the veteran receiver returns in Week 12, but keep an eye on his practice status next week to have a better indicator of when he will make his return.
Russell Gage Injury Update
Russell Gage has missed the past two weeks due to a hamstring injury. The 26-year-old has yet to return to practice in any capacity and was officially ruled out for Sunday's game against the Seattle Seahawks in Germany on Friday.

— Joey Knight (@TBTimes_Bulls) November 11, 2022
With Julio Jones being left off the final injury report for the second week in a row, Gage would not have been a recommended fantasy option even if he was active. Gage can safely be dropped to the waiver wire and will only be a speculative add once he is healthy if Jones misses time.
K.J. Hamler Injury Update
K.J. Hamler suffered a hamstring injury this past Wednesday during practice. The 23-year-old has failed to return to practice since, and the Broncos officially ruled him out for Sunday's game against the Tennessee Titans on Friday.
Hackett: Browning, Hamler, Beck, out. Bonitto questionable with illness. #9sports
— Mike Klis (@mikeklis) November 11, 2022
It is a disappointing development coming off of the bye week for the young receiver, but his absence will further cement a solid target share for Courtland Sutton, Jerry Jeudy, and tight end Greg Dulcich. The severity of Hamler's injury is currently unknown, making his timeline to return up in the air.
Marquise Goodwin Injury Update
Marquise Goodwin missed last week's game against the Cardinals due to a groin injury. The 31-year-old returned to practice in a limited fashion to start the week and was a full participant on Friday. Seattle officially listed him as questionable for Sunday's game against Tampa Bay on Friday.

— Bob Condotta (@bcondotta) November 11, 2022
Goodwin has a good shot to play this week after getting in a full practice session on Friday but he is not a recommended fantasy option this week against Tampa Bay with DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett at full strength. Goodwin is only viable in the deepest of fantasy leagues unless Metcalf or Lockett misses time.
Kenny Golladay Injury Update
Kenny Golladay has not been on the field since Week 4 due to a knee injury. However, he returned to the practice field for the first time since sustaining the injury this past week and has been a limited participant since Wednesday. The Giants officially listed him as questionable for Sunday's game against the Houston Texans on Friday.
Giants game statuses for Sunday vs. Texans:
Out:
-TE Daniel Bellinger (Eye)
-OT Evan Neal (Knee)Questionable:
-CB Cor’Dale Flott (Calf)
-WR Kenny Golladay (Knee)
-LB Oshane Ximines (Quad)— Paul Schwartz (@NYPost_Schwartz) November 11, 2022
Golladay has caught just two passes in his four games played, but will give the Giants a needed boost with their receiving corps lacking talent. The veteran receiver can be safely left on the waiver wire until he can prove to be a consistent fantasy option in any capacity.
