The first wave of inactive players in NFL Week 10 has come through. Which players are in and which ones are out this week?

For the 1:00 p.m. ET start times on Sunday in the NFL, here are a few of the big name players that will be either active or inactive in Week 10. After missing most of the season, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers will be getting back Pro Bowl running back Doug Martin.

Maybe Martin helps give balance to a Tampa Bay offense in desperate need of it? Tampa Bay hosts the Chicago Bears.

Redskins quarterback Kirk Cousins has done just fine this season, but will have to figure out more creative ways to move the chains aerially with Jackson out. The Vikings may not be a great team, but their defense sure is.

The Atlanta Falcons will be without their best defensive player in shut down cornerback Desmond Trufant. He injured his shoulder on Thursday Night Football against Tampa Bay last week. Atlanta should be able to overcome this loss against a dink-and-dunk Eagles offense.

However, the Falcons defense has given up on average 29 points per game. The rest of the Atlanta secondary has to step up in Trufant’s absence.

Martin should be a boost for your fantasy team. However, it may be wise to play Peyton Barber as well, as Martin will not have a full workload on Sunday against the Bears. Look for Cousins to target other Redskins wideouts in Jackson’s absence. Atlanta will need either Robert Alford or Jalen Collins to step up to be elite on the outside for the Falcons secondary.
