NFL Weekly Preview Week 10 2024: Key Injuries, Difference Makers & Projected Upsets

We are headed into the tenth week of the season. Here are the key injuries, fantasy stars and projected upsets.

Key Injuries

There are five key injuries this week. Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott could be out for the rest of the season with a torn hamstring he suffered on Sunday against the Atlanta Falcons. There is a possibility he may need surgery.

Heading into the Thursday nighter, there are some key injuries facing both the Baltimore Ravens and Cincinnati Bengals. The Bengals will be without running back Zack Moss with a neck injury and tight end Erick All Jr. with a torn anterior cruciate ligament. The Moss injury means Canadian Chase Brown of London, Ontario, will see a significant workload for Cincinnati in the coming weeks. Speaking of Canadians, Ravens defensive end Brent Urban of Mississauga, Ontario will not play against the Bengals because of a concussion. Neither will Ravens tight end Isaiah Likely due to a hamstring.

Fantasy Stars

The top rated quarterback is Josh Allen of the Buffalo Bills. The native of Firebaugh, California is projected to get 257 yards passing, 34 yards rushing and two touchdowns against the Indianapolis Colts.

The top rated wide receiver is Justin Jefferson of the Minnesota Vikings. The native of Saint Rose, Louisiana is projected to get six catches for 88 yards and one touchdown against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

The top rated running back is Derrick Henry of Yulee, Florida. The Ravens superstar is predicted to razzle and dazzle on Thursday in primetime against the Bengals. Henry is projected to get 110 total yards and one touchdown.

Projected Upsets

In a two week span (week seven and eight), I predicted six upsets. Last week, I went with four upsets, and it was only the Carolina Panthers that came through. This week, I like four more underdogs. I like the Jacksonville Jaguars as a four point underdog to beat the Minnesota Vikings, the Pittsburgh Steelers to beat the Washington Commanders as a three point underdog, the New York Jets to beat the Arizona Cardinals as a one point underdog, and the Miami Dolphins to beat the Los Angeles Rams as a 2.5 point underdog.

The reason for the Steelers,  Jets and Jaguars is because they have had more time to prepare than their opponents. I also like the Dolphins because they have been extremely competitive in their last three losses and are very close to getting a win.
