9:36 a.m. ET: It's make-or-break week for many NFL teams (and fantasy football owners), so all eyes are on the injury reports this morning. One AFC front-runner, the New England Patriots, has some good news, while another, the Cincinnati Bengals, are facing bad news, according to reports.

The Arizona Cardinals, who have the NFC's second-best record at 9-2, are banged up on offense, with running back Andre Ellington and wide receiver Michael Floyd nursing injuries. One reportedly will play Sunday against the St. Louis Rams and one will not.

Fantasy football owners in need of a tight end might want to consider Austin Seferian-Jenkins of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
