Darnold Sits Week 10, Lock Starts; McCarthy and Skattebo Look Set for Thursday

Sam Darnold won't play Week 10, and Drew Lock gets the start in Las Vegas. Mike Macdonald says Darnold still needs time on his quad and ribs. Lock's oblique got a "good exam," and Macdonald thinks it's "something that we can manage." Lock went 19 of 28 for 175 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's win, and he has five touchdowns and zero picks in three appearances this year. Against the Raiders, he's a fine streamer in 2QB and superflex leagues. In 1QB leagues, leave him on the wire. Seattle's bye comes in Week 11, so Darnold managers are looking at Week 12 at the earliest. (NFL.com, NBC Sports)

J.J. McCarthy looks set to play Thursday despite a hip pointer. John Harbaugh says McCarthy is "doing well" and that it "does look like he's going to play" against Washington. Jameis Winston is the fallback, so check Wednesday's injury report before you lock him in. (PFT, NFL.com)

Cam Skattebo is back for Thursday night. Harbaugh says Skattebo (hamstring) should be full go after he missed Week 9. Get him back in your lineup. (NFL.com)

Deshaun Watson is expected to start Sunday against Houston. ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reports Watson gets the job back after he sat out Week 9 even though he'd cleared concussion protocol. That puts Shedeur Sanders back on the bench. (NFL.com)

Rhamondre Stevenson gets imaging on his knee. Mike Vrabel didn't give a timeline. Vrabel also says the Patriots plan to take A.J. Brown (ankle/knee) to Germany, but they haven't decided whether he plays after he missed two straight games. Brown's a hold until we see practice reports. (NFL.com)

Still waiting on Puka Nacua's MRI. The Rams don't think he tore his ACL, and we'll post the results when they're out. (Rams Wire)
