Countle s top running backs have been injured during the NFL season, and fantasy football owners have had to scramble around to find streamers and sleepers to replace them. Ahead of Week 10, a handful of RBs who have mi sed action could have a chance to return. Notably, Joe Mixon, Mark Ingram, Raheem Mostert, Miles Sanders, and Devonta Freeman have all mi sed at least two weeks, but they could be back just in time for some fantasy owners to make a playoff push. Their injuries will certainly have an impact on our Week 10 RB rankings and key start 'em, sit 'em decisions, and we have the latest updates below.For news on Chris Carson, Austin Ekeler, Nick Chubb, Kenyan Drake, and Matt

Hilton, click here.For all the latest fantasy news, follow uson Twitter .WEEK 10 STANDARD RANKINGS: | | | | | Is Joe Mixon playing this week?Mixon (foot) has mi sed the past two games for the Bengals ahead of their bye last week, but after three weeks to rest, he should have a chance to play in Week 10. After all, by Bengals coach Zac Taylor before Week 8, so that indicates that he wasn't that far off from returning.That said, Mixon did mi s practice in each day leading up to the Bengals' Week 8 game against the Titans. So, it will be e sential for him to get back on the practice field early this week, even if it is in a limited capacity. That would at least indicate that he's on track toward being active while a full participation tag would show that, barring a setback, Mixon will be ready to return.We'll see how practice goes for Mixon this week, but if for some reason he can't play, Giovani Bernard would once again be the lead back for the Bengals and would be a low-end, volume-based RB2 against a tough Steelers defense. Still, it seems more likely that Mixon will be ready to go following the bye.WEEK 10 FANTASY: | |Is Mark Ingram playing this week
Julio Urias Jersey ?Ingram (ankle) has mi sed the past two Ravens games against the Steelers and the Colts while nursing a high-ankle sprain picked up in Week 6. Heading into Week 10, his status is uncertain, at best, and it seems that he might mi s another week of action.In a week of practice before the game against the Colts, Ingram didn't practice once. He was listed as a non-participant each day and then was considered "doubtful" for the game against the Colts. The fact that he wasn't ruled out entirely might be a good sign, but Ingram will still have to get on the practice field at some point this week, and it looks like he might be trending toward mi sing one more game.If Ingram can't play against the Patriots in Week 10, Gus Edwards and JK Dobbins will continue to split carries as part of the Ravens' offense. Both will be high-end flex options against a Patriots run defense that has struggled immensely in recent weeks. Ingram will fall into the same territory if he plays given that the Ravens like to mix up their backfield rotation.WEEK 10 PPR RANKINGS: | | | | | Is Raheem Mostert playing this week?Mostert (ankle) is eligible to return from IR in Week 10 after mi sing the last few contests with a high-ankle sprain. That doesn't nece sarily mean he will, but there is at least a little bit of optimism that he could return to action soon.According to , 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan said that Mostert "has a chance
Kenta Maeda Jersey " to play in Week 10 against the Saints. That would instantly make him an RB2 despite a difficult matchup, as he would be the clear-cut lead back for the 49ers.Mostert will need to be watched in practice this week, but remember: Because he's on IR, he may not be listed on the official injury report. Instead, it will be more important to look out for him being "designated to return" from IR. That would indicate that he's close to playing, although with the 49ers having a bye in Week 11, it seems likely they'll let Mostert rest unti Week 12.If Mostert can't play this week, then Jerick McKinnon and JaMycal Hasty would probably split carries once again. Both are just flex considerations because Shanahan rotates his backs frequently and it's hard to tell who get more goal-line touches. Tevin Coleman (knee) will also
Kirk Gibson Jersey be a potential name to watch as he tries to return from an injury.Is Miles Sanders playing this week?Sanders (knee) mi sed the Eagles' final two games before their Week 9 bye with an injury that was expected to take one-to-twoweeks to heal. It appears that he's one track to play in Week 10, as is reporting that Sanders is expected to return to practice this week and suit up for the Eagles. That will be good news for our Week 10 RB rankings, as it will provide some solid depth up top.Against the Giants, Sanders would instantly be a top-10 matchup. While the Giants have proven to be solid against the run, they surrendered 92 scrimmage yards and a TD to Boston Scott the last time these two squads played. Sanders should have a chance to do better than that provided that he is fully healthy. If he isn't or if he suffers a setback, Scott would be the next man up for the Eagles.Is Devonta Freeman playing this week?Freeman (ankle) mi sed his second consecutive game for the Giants last week, and ahead of Week 10, his status is uncertain. That said, he did practice on Thursday and Friday in a limited basis before being declared out for the game, so that indicates that he is at least progre sing in his recovery from the injury.If Freeman can get on the field Wednesday even in just a limited capacity, that should be a positive step in his potential return. Realistically, we won't know if he's playing until later in the week, but he is on the path toward returning at the very least.In the event that Freeman needs another week to recover, Wayne Gallman would continue to serve as the Giants' lead back. Gallman has been
Chris Taylor Jersey solid in Freeman's absence, but either player would be just a flex play against an Eagles defense that has been tough against the run this year.
