Week 10 was very kind to fantasy football players in terms of injuries. Following weeks where we’ve seen player after player go down with serious injuries, it was a nice change of pace. That being said, there were a guys that were dinged up on the Sunday gridiron. Here’s a quick update on them:

• The number one player in fantasy football Peyton Manning will undergo an MRI on Monday. While the Broncos sealed the victory with Manning connecting with Demaryius Thomas, it came at a cost. Manning was taken down by Chargers Corey Liuget and was seen with a noticeable limp. After the game Manning admitted that he was quite sore, but we’ll have to wait to see what the results of the MRI show. The only way that teams will be able to beat the Broncos is if they get hits on the 37-year old future Hall of Fame, and it’s been taking a toll. We’ll keep you updated on the results of his MRI. 
• Speaking of ageless wonders, Tony Gonzalez injured his left toe and was limping around the Falcons locker room after the loss to Seattle. While they may be some of the smallest parts of the body, toe injuries are tough to overcome. That being said, Gonzalez is one of the toughest players in the game, so he may try and gut it out, especially considering this may be the last season of his career. He’s no Jimmy Graham at this point of his career, so he may not play well while hurt, but we’ll continue to monitor his status.
• While Bears QB Jay Cutler started the game against the Lions, a sprained ankle kept him from finishing it. He told reporters that he was feeling quite limited in terms of his mobility so he couldn’t continue on. With backup QB Josh McCown playing very well, the Bears will probably take it very slow with their baby-faced QB.

Quick hits: 49er TE Vernon Davis has been diagnosed with a concussion…Seneca Wallace lasted one quarter before pulling his groin. He likely won’t be healthy enough to play next week…Stevie Johnson is already unsure of his Week 11 unavailability, a poor sign…Ben Tate played hurt but looked much better than he did last week. It seems he came out unscathed…CJ Spiller‘s high ankle sprain is going to be a problem for the next few weeks…Terrelle Pryor has a sprained MCL…Jake Locker‘s season may be done. It’s too bad for a guy who was really making strides and leading a fantasy-relevant offense…Andre Brown is officially back…Roddy White played the majority of the snaps, so at least it isn’t his health that’s holding him back now…

Good evening everyone, welcome to the 10th edition of the weekly injury roundup. Here are the notable injuries that you should be aware of for this upcoming week.

Aaron Rodgers has already been ruled out for week 10. Initial reports have him missing from 4-6 weeks. By no means should you drop him, but the earliest he’ll be back is week 13. If you are fighting to get into the playoffs, I’d see what player I could get in return for him. If you’re locked into the playoffs, throw an offer out there for ARod. The Packers find themselves neck and neck in their division for a playoff spot this season, so they’re going to need Rodgers back ASAP. Oh by the way, please don’t pick up Seneca Wallace. I almost didn’t even want to bold his name right there that’s how much I dislike him for fantasy/real football.

It looks as if rookie QB EJ Manuel will return tomorrow. He was terrific before getting hurt against Cleveland that fateful night where both he and Brian Hoyer went down. I have a tough time trusting him this week in any leagues other than deep ones or 2-QB leagues.

After missing a few days of practice this week, Indianapolis RB Trent Richardson is officially listed as Questionable though he did practice Friday. It looks like he’s going to play, but I have a hard time trusting a running back averaging less than 3YPC and losing touches to Donald Brown. I’d keep him on your bench until he shows any signs of life…

Atlanta WR Roddy White is officially questionable but has already told everyone that he’s going to play Sunday. It’s going to be an entertaining re-match of the teams that met in the playoffs last year, especially with what is developing between Roddy and punk DB Richard Sherman. Seattle’s defense hasn’t been anything close to what it was like to start the season, especially on the road. With that said, White’s burned fantasy owners way too many times with flare ups of his injuries, so I’d be disinclined to start him.

Quick hits: Cecil Shorts and MJD are probable. I’d play Shorts, but keep an uninspiring MJD on your bench…Fred Jackson and CJ Spiller will both play…With Darren McFadden out for another week, Rashard Jennings will get the start…Terrelle Pryor practiced in full on Friday and will play…Victor Cruz had a sore neck but practiced both Thursday and Friday so he’ll suit up Sunday…Andre Brown was activated off the IR but he’s going to be eased back into things and will not even start with Peyton Hillis being quite useful for the Giants the last few weeks…Zac Stacy will play Sunday, so he should be in all fantasy lineups…Gio Bernard is questionable, and at this time is looking iffy to play. Check in Sunday morning to see his exact status…Reggie Bush and Jay Cutler will both play Sunday in a pivotal divisional game…Mario Manningham will make his season debut tomorrow for the 49ers...Julius Thomas called himself a game time decision, make sure you have a back-up TE ready…Doug Martin has been placed on the IR, ending his season…

Sunday is almost here and that means it’s time to check in those NFL injuries that will impact your fantasy team the most. Last week was a nightmare for fantasy owners everywhere, with players from Jay Cutler to Doug Martin to Reggie Wayne all going down with significant injuries. That being said, let’s dive into the latest injury updates.

Cecil Shorts is set to play Sunday in London against the 49ers, plug him in your lineup if you believe he’s gonna put up some stats during garbage time…Blaine Gabbert is healthy, but it doesn’t matter: Chad Henne will get the start…Dwayne Bowe aggravated his groin injury Thursday, and missed practice again Friday. Even if he does play, a limited Bowe against Joe Haden is bench worthy if he isn’t glued there already…Danny Amendola passed all concussion tests, and while he is listed as Questionable, I fully expect him to play…Jimmy Graham is a true game-time decision, so we won’t know how his foot feels until right before their 1PM EST game, if he plays then I’d be hard pressed benching him even if he’s not 100%…CJ Spiller is doubtful due to a bum ankle, but Fred Jackson will be good to go…DeMarco Murray is expected to play Sunday as well as Calvin Johnson and Dez Bryant. If Murray goes, he’s likely to get the majority of the work…Brandon Jacobs is going to miss Sunday’s game, which gives Peyton Hillis his first start since 2011…Mike Vick will start for the Eagles with Nick Foles out with a concussion…Roddy White is already deemed out but Steven Jackson will play…Rashard Mendenhall is doubtful which means Andre Ellington will get the start for the Cardinals…Percy Harvin will NOT make his 2013 debut for the Seahawks in week 8…

Welcome back to my weekly Injury Round Up. If you want the absolute latest updates, follow me on Twitter. For now, here’s the latest injury updates for the guys that matter most for Week 7.

• The week that you’ve all been waiting for is finally here ladies and gentlemen: Rob Gronkowski is back. He’s been medically cleared to play this upcoming Sunday against the Jets, and has reportedly looked great in practice. Despite this, I don’t think starting Gronk this week is a complete slam dunk. I tend to take anything I hear out of the Patriot organization with a grain of salt, meaning I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s on a snap count. Would you be that surprised if he played 20-30 snaps? The dude hasn’t played an NFL game in almost a whole year, and while I don’t doubt his ability to play well, if you have another option that’s done well thus far (like a Jordan Cameron, Heath Miller, etc.), I would lean to having a “wait-and-see” approach with Gronk, and start him in full confidence next week.
• First DMC, and now Demarco Murray. The question to start this season was not if they’d get hurt, but when. Murray hurt his knee last week against the Redskins and is doubtful for at least this week, perhaps more. While Joseph Randle didn’t look great last year, he did punch in a short TD, and will likely lift a heavy load with the other back-up RB Lance Dunbar out this Sunday as well. Randle is a middle to low-end flex play this week.
• A new week but nothing new from Falcons camp: Steven Jackson is gonna miss Week 7 and Roddy White is still hurt. While White should have sat games out previously to heal up, better late than never. I really did think that this week would be his coming out party, but then he injured his hamstring two Sundays ago. It’s looking like a lot season for Roddy and the Falcons.
• In case you missed it, Randall Cobb was placed on IR/designated to return. At the earliest, he’ll be back Week 15, but even then he’s not likely to be thrown into the fire as the Packers would like to have him 100% healthy for the playoffs. He’s droppable at this point. James Jones will also probably miss this week’s match up against the Browns, so rookie WR Jarrett Boykin is a name to know. He’s worth at least a stash.

• Quick hits: Case Keenum is making his NFL debut for the Texans against the NFL’s number 1 defense because of injuries to Schaub and because TJ Yates sucks. That’ll turn out well…Thad Lewis‘s foot is good enough for him to play for the Bills…Mike Vick is sitting out another week due to a sore hamstring. If Foles continues to play well, it won’t matter how healthy Vick is…Chad Henne will start for the Jaguars this week with Blaine Gabbert being limited by his hamstring, Blackmon owners rejoice…Adrian Peterson was a surprise add to the Viking’s injury report Friday, as he took the day off due to a “hamstring” problem. It’s something to keep an eye on, but I wouldn’t be too concerned…Joique Bell (ribs) is very iffy this week, keep him on your bench…Cecil Shorts will be a game time decision Sunday. Even if he plays, I wouldn’t start him, he might not play the whole game…Danny Amendola is out with a concussion…If you still have Eddie Royal on your roster due to his fast start, feel free to drop him. He’ll miss this week’s game against the Jaguars because of a toe injury, but he’s already fallen behind the Chargers’ stand out young WRs…
