Texans | Stroud throws for 384 yards, five touchdowns in win over Chargers Sun Nov 8, 07:31 PM
Houston Texans QB C.J. Stroud completed 21 of 35 passes for 384 yards with 5 touchdowns and 1 interception and ran 2 times for 20 yards in Sunday's 44-22 win over the Los Angeles Chargers. He was projected for 17.4 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 36.4.
| Footballguys view: As NFL.com suggested, Stroud threw the ball to whomever he wanted and wherever he wanted against the Chargers -- evidence that he's playing some of the most confident football of his pro career. He was productive despite leaving the game with just under nine minutes to play in the blowout win, tying his career high for TD passes in a game (Week 9 of 2023). Houston ended the game with nearly 500 yards of offense, sending a signal to the rest of the league that its QB is making a serious push for MVP. The Texans play the Browns in Week 10. |

Patrick Mahomes II aims to get 'swelling and the fluid out' of throwing arm this week Sun Nov 8, 07:26 PM
Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes II said after Sunday's win over the Jets that he wasn't throwing the ball the way he wanted to after injuring his throwing arm, but started throwing better toward the end of the second half as he got warmed back up. "That'll be important this week getting the swelling and the fluid out of it so I can be ready to go from the first snap next week," Mahomes said. Head coach Andy Reid said assistant athletic trainer Julie Frymyer worked on the arm throughout the game and that it helped.
| Footballguys view: Mahomes didn't appear to be impacted by the injury and finished the day completing 23 of 31 passes for 242 yards (7.8 yards per attempt) with 2 touchdowns and no turnovers. Mahomes said he felt good after the game. "I'm sure I'll be sore tomorrow, but we'll get right to it and work on it." Still, we'll be following this one closely in coming days. In addition, we'll watch for the Chiefs' expected pursuit of a wide receiver before Tuesday's trade deadline. The Colts' Josh Downs and Jacksonville's Brian Thomas Jr. are among the candidates who would fit with the Chiefs. |

Seahawks | Barner catches 2 passes for 7 yards, a touchdown in win over Cardinals Sun Nov 8, 07:26 PM
Seattle Seahawks TE AJ Barner ran 3 times for 3 yards and a touchdown and also caught 2 passes for 7 yards and a touchdown on 4 targets in Sunday's 17-3 win over the Arizona Cardinals. He was projected for 5.8 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 14.0.
| Footballguys view: Per ESPN Research, Barner became only the sixth tight end in NFL history with a rushing touchdown and a receiving touchdown in the same game. Barner got his first score on a tush-push carry, which has been an unstoppable play for the Seahawks since they began using it last season. Seattle plays the Raiders in Week 10. |

QB Mac Jones entered the game after S Malik Mustapha intercepted a pass for San Francisco's fifth takeaway of the game, a play that "should help put this one on ice."

Giants | Singletary gets 21 carries with Skattebo out, Harbaugh not seeking 'short-term fix' Sun Nov 8, 07:01 PM
Giants RB Devin Singletary got 21 carries in Sunday's 19-11 win over the Eagles with RB Cam Skattebo (hamstring) out, more than the 18 carries he had all season to date. Rookie RB Gregory Desrosiers, elevated from the practice squad, carried three times for 20 yards. Head coach John Harbaugh said the Giants are "making a lot of calls" ahead of the trade deadline but added, "We're not just going to go for a short-term fix at an exorbitant cost."
| Footballguys view: The Giants play on Thursday night, so Skattebo is questionable at best, and the team has a short time to onboard any running back they would acquire before Thursday's game. They do have a 2+ game lead on the Cowboys and should be thinking like a playoff team, but not too aggressively, as the Giants probably don't have the quarterback play to advance deep into the postseason. |

Giants | J.J. McCarthy says hip 'feels pretty good,' will try to be ready for Thursday Sun Nov 8, 06:57 PM
Giants QB J.J. McCarthy said on Sunday that his hip "feels pretty good" and that he will "do my best to be ready for Thursday." McCarthy briefly left Sunday's game with a hip injury before returning. The Giants host the Commanders on Thursday.
| Footballguys view: After his return, McCarthy was visibly limping and in pain after several plays down the stretch. The Giants contemplated leaving Jameis Winston in the game after driving 76 yards on 14 plays for a touchdown. "We had a conversation, and that was definitely part of the conversation," coach John Harbaugh said. "But the trainers and the doctors said [McCarthy] was good, and he said he was ready to go. And so with that, we decided to put him back out there." The issue this week will be the short turnaround to Thursday's game. |

Patriots | RB Rhamondre Stevenson injured in the third quarter vs. Packers Sun Nov 8, 06:55 PM
Patriots RB Rhamondre Stevenson was injured on a play in the third quarter of Sunday's game against the Packers with 3:29 left. No return designation has been posted yet.
| Footballguys view: Stevenson left with a knee injury and was ruled out. He had six carries for 32 yards and three receptions for 46 yards and a score before leaving. Corey Kiner is the next man up on early downs with Lan Larison the passing down back for any games that Stevenson misses. The Patriots travel to Munich, Germany to face the Lions next week and then have a bye, so hopefully Stevenson will only miss one game. |

Hopper was starting at Will linebacker with LB Zaire Franklin held out and LB Edgerrin Cooper on injured reserve, which pushed LB Isaiah McDuffie into the Mike role.

Eagles | Dallas Goedert on trade deadline: 'For the right price, everybody's available' Sun Nov 8, 05:58 PM
Eagles TE Dallas Goedert addressed the trade deadline after Sunday's game, saying, "Obviously, there's always a chance in this league... but think I got enough problems for today. Try not to worry about tomorrow."
| Footballguys view: Goedert said he spoke to Howie Roseman "briefly" a few weeks ago and had "a good conversation." "Obviously, anything can change," Goedert said. "For the right price, everybody's available, so we'll see what happens. But not too worried about it." We'll all be eagerly waiting to see what moves come before Tuesday's deadline. |

Chiefs | Patrick Mahomes to get more tests on right elbow after Sunday's injury Sun Nov 8, 05:43 PM
Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes will undergo more tests on his right elbow after injuring it in Sunday's 35-12 win over the Jets. Mahomes appeared to suffer a potentially serious injury late in the first half but did not miss any offensive snaps until garbage time.
| Footballguys view: Mahomes has special flexibility and healing powers, as we've seen him beat his ACL surgery timeline significantly, and only miss two games after suffering a dislocated kneecap in 2019. Hopefully that will get him through this incident relatively unscathed. #2 overall pick and new head of the New York Sack Exchange David Bailey devoured Mahomes just as he had fully cocked his arm in his throwing motion, and Mahomes appeared to be in great pain as he left the field. Stay tuned, as Justin Fields is the backup, which would significantly change the Chiefs offense if Mahomes has to miss any time. |

Rams | Puka Nacua to undergo MRI on knee, team does not believe ACL is torn Sun Nov 8, 05:25 PM
Rams WR Puka Nacua suffered a knee injury on the team's final offensive snap of Sunday's win over the Commanders and will undergo an MRI on Monday to determine the extent of the injury. The team does not believe Nacua suffered a torn ACL, but Monday's imaging will tell more.
| Footballguys view: Nacua was not asked about the knee injury after the game. He was asked about his trip to the blue medical tent in the third quarter and said he was checked for a concussion but was cleared. Nacua had 14 catches for 150 yards and a touchdown in the win. He was targeted 19 times. Nacua's 25 receptions over the last two games are the second most by a Rams player in the Super Bowl era. We will obviously be watching for the results of Nacua's imaging and following up through the team's Week 10 game in Arizona. |

Rams | Terrance Ferguson pulled hamstring, likely out 'another couple weeks' Sun Nov 8, 05:06 PM
Rams TE Terrance Ferguson pulled his hamstring during Friday's practice and will likely be out for "another couple [of] weeks," head coach Sean McVay said on Sunday. "You can't make it up, can you?" McVay said. McVay added that Ferguson was going to be a "big part" of the game plan for Sunday's game against the Commanders.
| Footballguys view: The Rams also have to deal with a Puka Nacua knee injury that they believe is not season-ending but will require an MRI. Matthew Stafford's fantasy value is plummeting, but the Rams running backs could be even more central in the game plan with Myles Garrett's three-sack return promising one of the NFL's best pass rushes in the second half of the season to keep games low scoring. The Rams should also be in the market for a wide receiver with Tuesday's trade deadline looming. |

Chiefs | Andy Reid 'not making any decisions right now' on Harrison Butker Sun Nov 8, 05:06 PM
Chiefs HC Andy Reid addressed K Harrison Butker unprompted in his opening statement after Sunday's win over the Jets: "I'm sure I'll be asked about Butker. I'll address that as we go throughout the week. I'll look at everything, and no need to ask. That'll be the answer that you get. I'm not making any decisions right now today."

Packers | Josh Jacobs suffers hand injury, doesn't return against Patriots Sun Nov 8, 04:54 PM
Packers RB Josh Jacobs suffered a hand injury did not return to Sunday's game against the Patriots after carrying the ball for five yards on four carries.
| Footballguys view: Jacobs got his finger stuck in a facemask and did not return to the game. The Packers have been rumored to be in the market for a running back, given the uncertainty about the NFL's disciplinary process's handling of new domestic violence allegations against Jacobs, and now that need becomes more urgency. Kaleb Johnson flashed with a 34-yard run and a score, but the Packers can't rely on him or MarShawn Lloyd, who missed this game with a knee injury. |

| Footballguys view: Tyler Goodson added 77 yards on his 12 carries as the Cowboys offensive line had its best run-blocking performance of the season. Williams has two 100-yard games in his last three outings heading into a home game against the 49ers. |

Cowboys | Lamb catches 10 passes for 195 yards, a touchdown in win over Colts Sun Nov 8, 04:35 PM
Dallas Cowboys WR CeeDee Lamb caught 10 passes for 195 yards and a touchdown on 16 targets and lost 1 fumble in Sunday's 27-23 win over the Indianapolis Colts. He was projected for 19.1 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 28.5.
| Footballguys view: Lamb also fumbled close to the Colts' 10-yard line on a bizarre play when he wasn't touched down and got up to tack 30ish yards onto his total on the day. George Pickens missed this one with a hamstring injury, which opened the door for Lamb to take on most of the downfield pass offense. We'll see if Pickens can rally to play in a classic NFC matchup with San Francisco at home next week. |

Cowboys | Prescott throws for 335 yards, two touchdowns in win over Colts Sun Nov 8, 04:35 PM

| Footballguys view: The Colts pass defense had a lot of trouble finding and covering CeeDee Lamb, who accounted for more than half of Prescott's 335 passing yards. A banged-up Malik Willis will take aim at the Colts wilting defense next week, while Prescott will host an underrated 49ers defense. |

Ladd McConkey hurts back in warmups, doesn't play against Texans Sun Nov 8, 04:18 PM
Chargers WR Ladd McConkey hurt his back in pregame warmups and did not play in Sunday's game against the Texans.
| Footballguys view: McConkey's back spasms give us just another reason to worry about a player who can't seem to stay healthy. He's going to get dropped in a lot of redraft leagues after giving teams a zero today, and it might not be the best idea to pick him up even though the Chargers' schedule finally gets less difficult after a game at Baltimore next week. |

Broncos | Bryant catches 4 passes for 56 yards, a touchdown in win over Panthers Sun Nov 8, 04:15 PM
Denver Broncos WR Pat Bryant caught 4 passes for 56 yards and a touchdown on 5 targets in Sunday's 26-21 win over the Carolina Panthers. He finished with 13.6 fantasy points (half-PPR) without a projection.
| Footballguys view: Bryant played a big role in the second half after Jaylen Waddle left with a concussion. He has arguably the best chemistry with Bo Nix of any of the Broncos receivers. Bryant isn't worth carrying through the bye in typical leagues with Waddle likely back on the field in Week 11 after the team's bye, but he could be a waiver-wire pickup eventually with the Broncos facing a weak second-half schedule. |

Panthers | Waller catches 8 passes for 90 yards, a touchdown in loss to Broncos Sun Nov 8, 04:15 PM
Carolina Panthers TE Darren Waller caught 8 passes for 90 yards and a touchdown on 10 targets in Sunday's 26-21 loss to the Denver Broncos. He was projected for 5.2 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 19.0.
| Footballguys view: Waller's big game should remind us to err on the side of starting tight ends when they face a Broncos defense that has allowed seven touchdowns to tight ends and six games of 62 yards or more to tight ends in nine games this season. Brock Bowers, Dalton Kincaid, and Hunter Henry draw the Broncos in the fantasy playoffs in Weeks 15-17. |

Panthers | Young throws for 276 yards, three touchdowns in loss to Broncos Sun Nov 8, 04:15 PM
Carolina Panthers QB Bryce Young completed 28 of 39 passes for 276 yards with 3 touchdowns and 1 interception and lost 1 fumble in Sunday's 26-21 loss to the Denver Broncos. He was projected for 16.4 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 21.3.
| Footballguys view: Young hung tough against the Broncos pass rush and leaned heavily on Darren Waller and other tight ends, a longtime weakness of the Denver defense. He bounced back for fantasy just in time for a matchup against a Saints defense that held him to 287 passing yards and one touchdown in the two matchups last year. He's into the toughest section of his schedule after starting with the easier run of poor pass defenses. |

Rams | Nacua catches 14 passes for 150 yards, a touchdown, suffers a knee injury, MRI to come Sun Nov 8, 04:15 PM
Los Angeles Rams WR Puka Nacua ran 2 times for 20 yards, also caught 14 passes for 150 yards and a touchdown on 19 targets and lost 1 fumble in Sunday's 20-13 win over the Washington Commanders. He was projected for 17.9 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 28.0. Nacua also suffered a knee injury on the team's final offensive snap of Sunday's win over the Commanders and will undergo an MRI on Monday to determine the extent of the injury, the report said, crediting NFL Network's Mike Garafolo as well. The team does not believe Nacua suffered a torn ACL, but Monday's imaging will tell more.
| Footballguys view: Nacua has become the equivalent of a workhorse running back in the passing game, absorbing a ton of punishment on short range passes that keep the offense on schedule. He is set up to be as valuable as ever in PPR leagues as long as he can stay on the field. The Rams get a rematch with the Cardinals team that they lost to despite Arizona not scoring a touchdown in Week 6. |

Jets | Mitchell held to 0 catches for 0 yards in loss to Chiefs, Cooper catches 8 for 58 Sun Nov 8, 04:10 PM
New York Jets WR Adonai Mitchell caught 0 passes for 0 yards on 7 targets in Sunday's 35-12 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. He was projected for 10.1 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 0.0.
| Footballguys view: Mitchell and Omar Cooper Jr. have been trading off zeroes over the last three weeks. This week, it was Mitchell's turn, although he did get seven targets and narrowly missed catching what would have been a long touchdown from Geno Smith on a frustrating day for this offense. The Jets settled for five field goal attempts despite moving the ball effectively for most of the first half. Cooper ended up catching eight of his 11 targets and ran with the toughness and resourcefulness he is known for to get 58 hard-earned yards. Garrett Wilson should be back against the Bills in Week 10 after missing this one because of a concussion, which will complicate projecting this pass offense even further. |

Chiefs | Walker runs for 102 yards, one TD, two receiving TDs in win over Jets Sun Nov 8, 04:10 PM
Kansas City Chiefs RB Ken Walker III ran 18 times for 102 yards and a touchdown and also caught 4 passes for 41 yards and two touchdowns on 4 targets in Sunday's 35-12 win over the New York Jets. He was projected for 20.4 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 34.3.
| Footballguys view: Walker had cooled off with only 141 total yards and no scores in the last two games. He atoned this week by piling up 143 total yards and finding paydirt three times. He overwhelmed a Jets defense that has been beaten just about every way you can beat a defense in the last three weeks. Walker will take aim at a weary Falcons defense that got run ragged by Joe Burrow in Madrid today. |
