Week 10 wasn't too bad with the injuries, which is nice to see after all the carnage in the past month. Perhaps the biggest injury is to Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning. However, Manning wasn't even worth starting before, so it's not a bad loss for his fantasy owners.
Fantasy football waiver wire: Injuries heading into Week 11
Julian Edelman broke his foot. Here are the rest of the fantasy-relevant injuries leading up to Week 11.
The biggest injury of the week has to be New England receiver Julian Edelman breaking his foot. He was a WR1 in PPR leagues and had a great schedule going forward. Fantasy owners should be very aggressive in adding Danny Amendola.
Here are the other injuries of note heading into Week 11:
Injuries from Week 10

Peyton Manning, Denver Broncos
