Rams | Myles Garrett activated from IR, will play Sunday vs. Commanders Sat Nov 7, 12:44 PM
The Rams activated DE Myles Garrett from injured reserve on Saturday. Garrett will play in Sunday's Week 9 game at the Commanders.
| Footballguys view: Garrett gets to play alongside Aaron Donald for the first time. Good luck to the Commanders as that duo should give opponents nightmares on a weekly basis. This season has not been smooth for the 4-4 Rams, but now they have one of their best defenders back and are looking to make a run to get into the playoff hunt. |

Bills | Khalil Shakir back at Saturday practice after missing Friday Sat Nov 7, 12:39 PM
Bills WR Khalil Shakir was spotted at practice on Saturday after not practicing on Friday. Shakir missed Friday's session for a personal reason. The Bills visit the Vikings on Monday night.
| Footballguys view: Shakir is good to go for Monday night's game against the Vikings. With this matchup, Shakir is in the WR4 range for Fantasy GMs in Week 9. |

Steelers in WR market; Thomas Jr., Downs 'two key names,' Ridley a backup option Sat Nov 7, 12:33 PM
The Steelers are among the teams in the wide receiver market ahead of Tuesday's trade deadline, with Jaguars WR Brian Thomas Jr. and Colts WR Josh Downs the "two key names," ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reported. "I expect one or both to be moved," Fowler wrote, naming Kansas City, Pittsburgh, and San Francisco among the teams in the market and adding that Titans WR Calvin Ridley "is considered a backup option for teams."
| Footballguys view: A move for a wide receiver would make sense. The Steelers are trying to make one final run with Aaron Rodgers this year, and his pass-catchers could easily be upgraded from what he currently has. Pittsburgh has WRs Michael Pittman Jr. and Roman Wilson on injured reserve, and WR DK Metcalf ranks 22nd among NFL wide receivers in catches and 26th in receiving yards. |

Mike McDaniel to call plays from coaches' box vs. Texans as Chargers offense struggles Sat Nov 7, 12:13 PM
Chargers offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel said he will call plays from the coaches' box instead of the sideline during Sunday's Week 9 game against the Texans. "I want to try [to] call plays from the box to kind of see adjustments for myself and communicate to the position coaches appropriately what things we can focus on between series," McDaniel said, and head coach Jim Harbaugh said he is "all for it." The 0-7 Chargers haven't scored a touchdown since Oct. 11 and are averaging an NFL-low 14.1 points per game, while QB Justin Herbert has an NFL-worst 10 interceptions. McDaniel last called plays from the box as the 49ers' offensive coordinator in 2021.
| Footballguys view: The Chargers are trying to find answers for their awful offense. We'll see how long the McDaniel/Herbert combination can stay together because this outcome is worse than anyone ever thought was possible. Against the Texans in Week 9, Herbert is a QB3 for Fantasy GMs. |

Ravens | Lamar Jackson hasn't had thumb surgery yet, return 'still possible this season' Sat Nov 7, 10:53 AM
Ravens QB Lamar Jackson, who is on injured reserve, has not yet had surgery on his right thumb. There are "a few variables at play," but a return is still possible this season. There will be no contract discussions until after the season, and the Ravens want Jackson long term.
| Footballguys view: Palmer reports that the Ravens are willing to make Jackson the highest-paid player in NFL history. Jackson has a ton of leverage in this situation with an $84 million cap hit in 2027, no-trade clause, and no-franchise-tag clause in his contract. The Ravens will keep the window open for a Jackson return with the newly acquired Jacoby Brissett under center. Their 4-5 record keeps them at the bottom of the AFC North at this time -- clearly outside the playoff picture. |

Ravens | Ravens waive Austin Reed, finalize Jacoby Brissett trade terms with Cardinals Sat Nov 7, 10:35 AM
The Ravens waived QB Austin Reed and finalized the terms of their trade for QB Jacoby Brissett from the Cardinals on Friday. Reed had been signed to the 53-man roster on Thursday after Lamar Jackson and Tyler Huntley were placed on injured reserve.
| Footballguys view: The move we all knew about is finally official. Brissett steps in to take over for Joe Fagnano after his lone start against the Jaguars on Thursday night. In Week 10, the Ravens are at home to take on the hapless Chargers. Brissett provides an upgrade for the Ravens at the quarterback position, stabilizing the fantasy value of the passing game. |

Seahawks | Macdonald confirms Drew Lock will start vs. Cardinals, Milroe to back up Sat Nov 7, 10:35 AM
Seahawks QB Drew Lock will start Sunday against the Cardinals, head coach Mike Macdonald confirmed on Friday, even though Lock has been dealing with a right elbow injury. Macdonald said Seattle managed Lock's throwing this week out of precaution because of the elbow. QB Sam Darnold (quad) will be out, and second-year QB Jalen Milroe will back up Lock.
| Footballguys view: Lock stepped in for Darnold earlier this season and led wins over the Patriots and Cardinals, throwing four touchdowns with no interceptions and completing 72.9% of his passes. The severe tendinitis Lock has could flare up at any time. Fantasy GMs in deeper leagues can stash Milroe just in case. |

Colts | Colts reportedly rejected second- and fifth-round offer for Jonathan Taylor Sat Nov 7, 09:47 AM
Colts RB Jonathan Taylor's suitors include the Giants and Vikings, whom The Athletic's Jonathan Jones believes are the favorites to convince Indianapolis to trade him. Jones said he was told the Colts have already rejected an offer of a second- and fifth-round pick for Taylor.
| Footballguys view: The Vikings, Giants, and Broncos all seem to have interest in the superstar running back. There could be a bidding war going on right now, but who knows what price tag would make the Colts interested in a trade. Taylor immediately makes the team he lands on a Super Bowl contender, and those three teams are looking to separate themselves from the pack of potential playoff teams in their respective conferences. Stay tuned. |

Seahawks | Drew Lock battling 'severe tendinitis' in throwing elbow, will start vs. Cardinals Sat Nov 7, 09:34 AM
Seahawks QB Drew Lock has been battling severe tendinitis in his throwing elbow. Lock looked good in limited practice reps and will start Sunday against the Cardinals in place of the injured Sam Darnold. Lock is set for free agency in March.
| Footballguys view: Lock is battling through this injury, so he's not quite himself in Week 9. That being said, Lock knows how to feed Jaxon Smith-Njigba - and that's a great start for any quarterback with the Seahawks. Jalen Milroe backs up Lock in Week 9, so he's one play away from getting on the field. |

Vikings | Kyler Murray has Grade 2 hamstring strain, could miss time 'potentially beyond' Week 9 Sat Nov 7, 09:31 AM
Vikings QB Kyler Murray is rehabbing a Grade 2 hamstring strain that will keep him out of Monday night's game against the Bills "and potentially beyond." Head coach Kevin O'Connell ruled Murray out for Monday's game on Thursday, with QB Carson Wentz set to start against Buffalo.
| Footballguys view: Wentz is the starter for Monday's game against the Bills. The NFL trade deadline is coming up on Tuesday, and Adam Schefter has alerted all NFL fans to be mindful of the Vikings quarterback situation. We'll see if they make a move for someone like Daniel Jones. |

Colts | Colts tell interested teams they 'aren't trading' Daniel Jones Sat Nov 7, 09:26 AM
The Colts have received calls on QB Daniel Jones ahead of Tuesday's trade deadline. Indianapolis has told interested teams that it is not trading him.
| Footballguys view: The Colts insist they are not trading Jones, but they could be just playing hardball here. Adam Schefter keeps dropping hints about the Vikings adding a quarterback, and Jones has previous experience working under Kevin O'Connell (2024). Deals get done at deadlines, and the NFL trade deadline is on Tuesday. Jones is set to start for the Colts in Week 9, but he may not be on the roster too long after that. He also may not be the starter much longer if he does stay with the Colts due to the injury guarantees on his contract for 2027. |

Browns | Browns eyeing edge rusher, blocking TE to 'move Harold Fannin Jr. around even more' Sat Nov 7, 09:09 AM
The Browns are positioned as buyers ahead of Tuesday's trade deadline and have looked at adding a rotational edge rusher and perhaps a blocking tight end, Albert Breer reported. A blocking tight end "would free them up to move Harold Fannin Jr. around even more," according to Breer. Head coach Todd Monken hasn't used many extra offensive linemen in the blocking tight end role, leaving Browns TE Harold Fannin Jr. or receivers like WR Malachi Corley to step in there.
| Footballguys view: Fannin is already one of the most productive tight ends in the league. Adding a blocking tight end to move him around would only make Fannin even more dangerous. With Shedeur Sanders under center against the Saints on Sunday, we should see Fannin post TE1 numbers for Fantasy GMs out there. |

Cardinals | Cardinals have 'zero intention' of trading Trey McBride despite Broncos' inquiry Sat Nov 7, 07:47 AM
The Broncos have checked in around the league on tight ends, going so far as to inquire about Cardinals TE Trey McBride ahead of Tuesday's trade deadline. The Cardinals made it "very clear they have zero intention of trading McBride." McBride is from Fort Morgan, Colorado, and played college football at Colorado State.
| Footballguys view: McBride means a lot to the Cardinals, and it's not a surprise they're not going to trade him. The Broncos need a "joker" tight end, and Sean Payton would be over the moon to have a talent like McBride. We'll see if someone like Dallas Goedert ends up in Denver before Tuesday's trade deadline. The Broncos are looking for tight end and running back help via the trade market. Broncos GM George Paton is somewhat conservative, but he's going to be active when it comes to working the phones to make a deal. |

Ravens | Giants inquired about Justice Hill; Ravens 'not expected' to deal Derrick Henry Sat Nov 7, 07:41 AM
The Giants inquired about Ravens RB Justice Hill ahead of Tuesday's trade deadline, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported. Schefter also reported that the Ravens are not expected to trade RB Derrick Henry before the deadline. Baltimore is not expected to sell at the deadline, with QB Jacoby Brissett starting while QB Lamar Jackson is on injured reserve.
| Footballguys view: The Giants are looking for help at the position with Cam Skattebo (hamstring) banged up and Tyrone Tracy Jr. on IR. Hill was the back they wanted, but the Ravens aren't sellers (even though perhaps they should be). Hill rushed nine times for 85 yards and a touchdown in the Ravens' Week 9 loss to the Jaguars, adding seven yards on three receptions. He'd be more fantasy relevant if the Giants did trade for him than he is as a backup behind Henry. Stay tuned. |

Colts | Colts engaged in Daniel Jones trade talks as 'multiple teams inquire' Sat Nov 7, 07:17 AM
The Colts have received calls from multiple teams inquiring about trading for QB Daniel Jones and have engaged in trade discussions involving him, sources told ESPN and NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. The interest comes alongside trade inquiries the Colts have received about RB Jonathan Taylor.
| Footballguys view: Tom Pelissero is reporting the Colts have told teams they're not trading Jones. That could be real, or it could be the Colts just playing hardball to get the most in return. It's speculation that Jones would be of interest to the Vikings, as he's got experience with the team under HC Kevin O'Connell (2024). The Colts are selling, but Jones is their starter for now. Once they're out of playoff contention, Jones could find his way to the bench with the injury guarantees on his contract for 2027. |

Ravens | Ravens 'not expected' to trade Derrick Henry before Tuesday's deadline Sat Nov 7, 07:05 AM
Ravens RB Derrick Henry is not expected to be traded before Tuesday's NFL trade deadline, league sources said. The decision comes as the Ravens are reeling.
| Footballguys view: Henry sounded frustrated after Thursday night's loss to the Jaguars, but reports have constantly indicated the Ravens have no intent to trade the future Hall of Fame running back. The market is there for Jonathan Taylor and perhaps even for Tony Pollard, but at this time it seems like Henry is staying in Baltimore. |

Giants | Giants believe bye week helped J.J. McCarthy, now 'fully caught up' Sat Nov 7, 06:00 AM
The Giants believe the bye week should have helped QB J.J. McCarthy, who is now fully caught up after being traded to New York in late September. McCarthy, who is making his second start for the Giants on Sunday against the Eagles, expects Eagles DC Vic Fangio to make him "earn it."
| Footballguys view: Fangio is one of the best defensive coordinators in NFL history, so we're certain he'll show McCarthy stuff he hasn't seen yet. McCarthy has looked good for the Giants, and he gets a chance to further prove himself the rest of the season. For Week 9, we've got him as a low-end QB2 in this matchup. |

Rams | Myles Garrett expected to play Sunday, Friday DNP 'just being smart with him' Fri Nov 6, 06:15 PM

Garrett did not practice Friday, but McVay said "it's more of just being smart with him," adding that Garrett "has progressed really well, made a tremendous impact in practice on Wednesday and Thursday, feels really comfortable with the game plan." McVay said the team is "still working through" how much Garrett will play on Sunday.

49ers | Demarcus Robinson questionable for Sunday vs. Raiders Fri Nov 6, 05:06 PM
49ers WR Demarcus Robinson (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Raiders, head coach Kyle Shanahan said on Friday. Robinson has been on injured reserve with the ankle injury and was designated to return.
| Footballguys view: Robinson practiced all week, albeit in a limited capacity. And the 49ers could desperately use him. Even after the bye, Mike Evans and Deebo Samuel Sr. still can't return. De'Zhaun Stribling and Ricky Pearsall remain on IR. Christian Kirk injured himself in practice this week. If active, Robinson has legitimate WR1 upside and a decent floor. If he can't go, expect Jacob Cowing and Jordan Watkins to pick up whatever scraps don't go to George Kittle and Christian McCaffrey. |

49ers | Mike Evans ruled out for Sunday vs. Raiders Fri Nov 6, 05:06 PM
49ers WR Mike Evans (ribs/Achilles) will not play in Sunday's Week 9 game against the Raiders, head coach Kyle Shanahan said on Friday. Evans did not participate in practice on Friday.
| Footballguys view: Evans played through a minor Achilles injury and unfortunately aggravated the injury, which has kept him out of action since Week 6. There was hope that Evans could heal up during the bye week, but it looks like that didn't do the trick. Deebo Samuel Sr., Demarcus Robinson, and Christian Kirk are also dealing with injuries, while De'Zhaun Stribling and Ricky Pearsall remain on IR. The 49ers are hurting right now, and Evans will hope to return next week. |

Rams | Terrance Ferguson ruled out for Sunday at Washington Fri Nov 6, 05:04 PM
The Rams updated TE Terrance Ferguson's status for Sunday's game at the Commanders to out with ankle and hamstring injuries on Friday. Earlier on Friday, Ferguson had been expected to play.
| Footballguys view: Just three hours after ESPN reported that Ferguson would make his return from IR this week, he's been declared out. He reportedly suffered a hamstring injury in Friday's practice. He's worth a stash in deep leagues. And assuming he's back next week, he'll be in the streaming discussion. But managers who have been holding him will need to wait at least one more week, and maybe more. |

49ers | Christian Kirk out vs. Raiders, 49ers unsure whether he'll need surgery Fri Nov 6, 04:56 PM
49ers WR Christian Kirk injured the meniscus in his knee earlier this week and has been ruled out for Sunday's Week 9 game against the Raiders. The 49ers are unsure whether he will require surgery.
| Footballguys view: Kirk returned from IR before the bye but reinjured himself in practice. He's droppable in all formats. |

Deebo Samuel Sr. ruled out for Week 9 vs. Raiders Fri Nov 6, 04:56 PM
49ers WR Deebo Samuel Sr. (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's Week 9 game against the Raiders. Samuel was called "unlikely to play" on Thursday.
| Footballguys view: Samuel couldn't even make it back to practice this week. He hopes to return next week, as the 49ers could desperately use some healthy pass-catchers. |

49ers | Christian McCaffrey has no injury designation, 'good to go' for Week 9 Fri Nov 6, 04:53 PM
49ers RB Christian McCaffrey (hamstring) has no injury designation and is good to go for Sunday's Week 9 game against the Raiders. McCaffrey did not practice Wednesday before returning to practice Thursday and Friday.
| Footballguys view: As expected, McCaffrey will play this week. Start him as a high-end RB1. |

Seahawks | Leonard Williams ruled out for Sunday vs. Cardinals Fri Nov 6, 04:49 PM

Bears | Kyle Monangai questionable vs. Buccaneers but 'still unlikely he plays' Fri Nov 6, 04:40 PM
Bears RB Kyle Monangai (toe/thumb), who has missed four consecutive games, was a limited participant in practice on Friday and is listed as questionable for Sunday night's game against the Buccaneers. The beat writer considers it "still unlikely he plays" since Friday was his first work in a month. With RB Zavier Scott placed on injured reserve earlier this week and only D'Andre Swift and Roschon Johnson healthy at running back on the 53-man roster, the beat writer expects RB Salvon Ahmed to be elevated from the practice squad for the game.
| Footballguys view: The Bears have a bye next week, so don't be surprised if Monangai sits again. It's good that he finally returned to the practice field, but the Bears have deep playoff aspirations, and rushing Monangai back invites more risk than reward. If Monangai is active, he risks a limited role or reinjury, making him a shaky RB3. If he's out, start D'Andre Swift as a steady RB1 and Roschon Johnson as a touchdown-dependent RB3. |
Kyle Monangai player page
Seahawks | Rashid Shaheed ruled out for Sunday vs. Cardinals Fri Nov 6, 04:37 PM
Seahawks WR Rashid Shaheed (knee) is out for Sunday's game against the Cardinals. Shaheed did not participate in practice on Friday. He also missed Monday night's game against the Bears with the knee injury.
| Footballguys view: Shaheed has been mostly a non-factor this year, and any beneficiary from his absence will likely be the same. Tory Horton should theoretically get some opportunities in Week 9, but this offense runs through Jaxon Smith-Njigba and the running backs, making all secondary receivers expendable in fantasy. |

Broncos | Sean Payton says Pat Bryant has practiced well enough to be activated from IR Fri Nov 6, 04:22 PM
Broncos head coach Sean Payton said on Friday that WR Pat Bryant has had a good week of practice. Asked whether it was good enough for Bryant to be activated from injured reserve, Payton said: "Yes." Bryant, on IR with an ankle injury since early October, returned to practice on Wednesday and was a full participant on Thursday.
| Footballguys view: Pat Bryant was staking a claim to be the team's secondary receiver, seemingly taking the job from Courtland Sutton. Payton likes to play everyone on the depth chart, which makes it a tad frustrating to start any of the Broncos receivers. However, Bryant is a must-roster player in all formats, as he showed some serious upside early this season before his ankle injury. He's a risky start this week, but fantasy managers will have more confidence playing him after the bye based on his performance and usage. |
Pat Bryant player page
Lions | Sione Vaki questionable for Sunday against Dolphins Fri Nov 6, 04:12 PM
Lions RB Sione Vaki (ankle) is questionable to play in Sunday's Week 9 game against the Dolphins.
| Footballguys view: Vaki handled a season-high 12 touches last week but unfortunately left the game with an ankle injury. He's not someone you'd rely on in fantasy, and his workload hardly impacts Jahmyr Gibbs. However, if he misses time, it will be worth seeing who the Lions call up as the backup, as that player may have some injury-away upside. |
Sione Vaki player page
Lions | Amon-Ra St. Brown questionable for Week 9 at Dolphins Fri Nov 6, 04:12 PM
Lions WR Amon-Ra St. Brown is questionable for Sunday's game at the Dolphins with a rib injury. He was limited in practice on Thursday.
| Footballguys view: Few players are as tough as St. Brown, and he'll assuredly do whatever he can to play this weekend. Luckily, the Lions and Dolphins play early, so we'll know by 11:30 a.m. ET whether he is active or not. Assuming he goes, you can't bench him. If he's out, Jameson Williams will become a plug-and-play WR1. |

Giants | Malik Nabers has no injury designation for Week 9 at Eagles Fri Nov 6, 04:11 PM
Giants WR Malik Nabers (knee) has no injury designation for Sunday's Week 9 game at the Eagles. Nabers looked to be moving well at practice on Friday, and the beat writer said not to expect any limitations for him.
| Footballguys view: A midweek DNP is typically concerning, but Nabers and the Giants have downplayed it, and his return to practice on Friday is a good sign. Nabers' 2025 season ended with an ACL tear, and he complicated his health with an early-season shoulder injury. However, he's played through both and looked like his old self the last few weeks. Start him as a WR1. |

Commanders | Dyami Brown ruled out vs. Rams, team 'concerned' about injury Fri Nov 6, 04:08 PM
Commanders WR Dyami Brown has been ruled out for Sunday's Week 9 game against the Rams, the team announced on its Friday injury report.

WR Treylon Burks (foot) has also been ruled out, thinning a receiver corps that already lost Terry McLaurin for the season.
