Texans WR Nico Collins and RB Dameon Pierce are both out on Sunday against the Bengals.

Related Players: Devin Singletary, Mike Boone, Tank Dell, Noah Brown, Xavier Hutchinson, John Metchie

Singletary had the backfield mostly to himself last week and put forth a miserable performance, which makes him a stay-away for all but the most desperate fantasy managers ahead of this Week 10 game against the Bengals.

Nico Collins is a new name on the injury report, which is a bummer, as he has a surprising 36-631-4 stat line on the year. With him missing this matchup, Dell and Brown would figure to get the biggest increase in target share.

Cardinals OL Trystan Colon and RB Emari Demercado are OUT against the Falcons.

James Conner, D.J. Humphries, Will Hernandez and Michael Wilson are among those listed as questionable.

The Cardinals backfield has been mostly uninspiring since Conner went down in Week 5, so this is good news for the team and fantasy managers alike. We could see a Conner-Kyler Murray pairing as early as this week, and if Conner is floating around a waiver wire for whatever reason, he needs to be added ASAP.

Texans’ WR Nico Collins and RB Dameon Pierce did not practice today.

The Cardinals have waived RB Tony Jones from the 53-man roster.

Perhaps a sign that James Conner will be activated to the 53-man roster in time for Sunday's game after returning to practice this week.

Cardinals officially designated RB James Conner to return from the injured reserve list. Conner can begin practicing today, and the team can activate him to the 53-man roster any time during the next 21 days.

Cardinals are listing RB Emari Demercado as out for Sunday’s game at Cleveland, and QB Kyler Murray as questionable.

Being that Williams has only logged snaps in three games since signing with Arizona, one would assume that Ingram will be the lead back on Sunday. Regardless, nether should be started in fantasy leagues.

Texans running back Dameon Pierce not practicing for third day in a row due to ankle injury suffered in fourth quarter against Panthers and he's not expected to play Sunday against Buccaneers Devin Singletary has run with first offense all week and is prepping to start.

Singletary has actually outperformed Pierce on a per-carry basis 3.0-to-3.7 but the running game has been less than inspiring to this point in the season. Pierce should take the majority of the touches in Week 9, which makes him an RB2 option.

I think last week we got a glimpse of what we’ll see when it comes to the run game. I think Jerome Ford, Kareem Hunt and Pierre Strong Jr. are all going to be involved, and on Thursday, offensive coordinator Alex Van Pelt essentially said as much.

“Really, it’s by committee right now,” Van Pelt said. “Everybody’s going to get their touches. I see all those guys (Ford and Hunt) as 1A, 1B. They could all come in and be productive, which they’ve shown. That was our plan last week going in with Jerome coming off of the injury, not sure he was going to make it. So, we just wanted to put him in on third downs early, see how he felt, and then know that we could get him the ball in the fourth quarter with fresh legs.”

It seems like the three-deep running back rotation that has come to fruition won't be ending any time soon. With Jerome Ford back in Week 8, he handled nine carries to Kareem Hunt's 14. Pierre Strong Jr.'s took ten carries himself, as the veteran Hunt went touch-less in the fourth quarter.

Ford should be the only legitimate fantasy option this week, as an RB2/3.

Jalen Reagor, rookie Demario Douglas and JuJu Smith-Schuster are now the top three on the depth chart, with 2022 second-round pick Tyquan Thornton (a healthy scratch Sunday) and 2023 sixth-rounder Kayshon Boutte (inactive since the season opener) next in line.

The 5-8, 192-pound Douglas is a quick slot receiver whose playing time has spiked the past two weeks (78 of 113 snaps).

It's not a great WR group, but, as they say, someone needs to catch the ball. The story said Reagor has drawn some praise, but we've all been down that road before. If he's on your wire, Douglas could be someone to stash away at this point, especially with his increased playing time recently. The story went on to say Douglas is often sent in motion before the snap, making him a threat as a runner with the possibility of taking a handoff, and has been targeted 13 times the past two weeks.

Follow-up tests Monday revealed that New England Patriots leading receiver Kendrick Bourne tore his right ACL, according to a source.

The injury ends Bourne's seventh season in the NFL, which was on pace to be his best, as he faces a recovery that a source estimates in the six- to eight-month range. Bourne was injured on the first play of the fourth quarter Sunday. It's a big hit to the Pats offense as Bourne had a TD in each of the last two games and before that had a line of 10-89-0 in Week 6.
