Live Week 10 fantasy injury updates

Here are the key fantasy injury updates for players in the early Week 10 games.

Patriots TE Aaron Hernandez (ankle) is inactive for Sunday’s game against the Bills, which is a blow to fantasy owners, as he had a favorable matchup vs. Buffalo. The Patriots did activate Visanthe Shiancoe from the short-term injured reserve list, but it is too early to consider putting him in fantasy lineups. Hernandez’s absence increases the opportunities for the other Patriots pass catchers. As expected, Vikings WR Percy Harvin (ankle) is inactive for Sunday’s game vs. the Lions. Minnesota’s top playmaker outside Adrian Peterson

, Harvin is having a solid fantasy season. Look for Christian Ponder to try to get TE Kyle Rudolph and WR Jerome Simpson more looks. Giants RB Ahmad Bradshaw, who was questionable with a foot injury, is active for Sunday’s game against the Bengals and should be in all lineups. As expected, Raiders RBs Darren McFadden and Mike Goodson are inactive on Sunday for Oakland’s game against the Ravens. RB Taiwan Jones and FB Marcel Reece will handle the carries. Lions WR Calvin Johnson

(knee) is active after being listed as questionable. Megatron should be in all fantasy lineups. Saints RB Darren Sproles (hand) is out as expected. Mark Ingram, Pierre Thomas and Chris Ivory will get the carries against the Falcons.
