The fantasy football Week 10 schedule is here and some sleeper players and injury players to keep an eye on include Marshawn Lynch, Latavius Murray, James White, Allen Hurns, Alshon Jeffery, Jay Ajayi, Thomas Rawls, Matt Forte and Peyton Manning.

Peyton Manning is coming into the weekend dealing with a rib injury and foot injury for Denver and the Broncos are hoping that Manning can go on Sunday. Pro Football Talk reports that Manning is listed as probable on the injury report heading into the weekend and he likely will play after being able to practice this week. Matt Forte is coming into the weekend as questionable for the Bears and likely will be out, while Marshawn Lynch is listed on the injury report for the Seahawks with an abdominal injury. 

Latavius Murray and Amari Cooper both missed some practice time this week, but they are expected to play on Sunday. Murray is dealing with a concussion and he is listed as probable for the game against the Vikings. According to ESPN, Murray said that he was "symptom free" on Thursday and Adam Caplan reports that Murray is going to play "barring any setbacks" in practice. Cooper is dealing with a quad injury but the injury is minor and he is listed as probable for the game Sunday.

Lynch is coming into the weekend with an abdomen injury and is listed as questionable, but head coach Pete Carroll said he expects Lynch to play Sunday. If Lynch is limited, Thomas Rawls could be a solid sleeper option and he is worth starting if Lynch is out for the game. If Lynch plays he could get a lighter workload with the injury and that could give Rawls a chance to get some points. Lynch missed practice this week and Rawls could get increased carries along with Fred Jackson.

The Patriots lost Dion Lewis last week to an injury and he is now out for the season and that could give James White and Brandon Bolden the chance to step up. According to CSN New England, Josh McDaniels said that White will get the :opportunity to step in and play a little bit more" and he could be worth starting for fantasy owners this week. LeGarrette Blount will be the starting running back most likely for the Patriots, but Lewis was the main receiver out of the backfield and one of those RBs should get the chance to play more with Lewis injured.

Allen Hurns comes into the weekend with a foot injury and he is listed as questionable for the game against the Ravens. Hurns said he is "confident" he will play. Alshon Jeffery is dealing with a groin injury and is listed as questionable against the Rams, but John Fox said there is a good chance Jeffery will play. Jay Ajayi could be a sleeper option for the Dolphins behind Lamar Miller after playing well in his season debut last week.
