With Week 9 in the books, the 2024 NFL season has reached its halfway point. Fantasy football players have had to contend with a plethora of injuries throughout the season so far, and there are a few more big injuries to contend with in Week 10.
This week, the Cleveland Browns, Green Bay Packers, Las Vegas Raiders, and Seattle Seahawks are all on their byes, providing extra time for some of their banged-up players to recover.
Also notable this week: the New York Giants will take on the Carolina Panthers in Munich on Sunday, marking the NFL's fifth and final international game of the season.
For 26 other teams, it's business as usual this week. Here are the latest fantasy football injury updates ahead of Week 10:
