Cardinals | Gardner Minshew flexing right hand at halftime after hit and fumble Sun Nov 8, 05:54 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 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 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 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." Butker was heavily booed after missing a field goal to end the first half. Kansas City has K Justin Tucker on its practice squad.

Packers RB Josh Jacobs has a hand injury and is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Patriots, the team announced. Jacobs jogged to the locker room, and RB Pierre Strong Jr. entered the game in his place.

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. |

49ers DE Nick Bosa is in San Francisco's starting nickel defense for Sunday's Week 9 game against the Raiders. Bosa missed the Week 7 game at Atlanta with a calf injury and returned to practice as a limited participant on Wednesday. DT DeForest Buckner, reacquired from the Colts for a fourth-round pick, starts alongside DT Osa Odighizuwa, with Keion White at the other end spot. LBs Fred Warner and Dre Greenlaw, CBs Deommodore Lenoir, Upton Stout and Renardo Green and safeties Ji'Ayir Brown and Malik Mustapha round out the starting group.

Indianapolis Colts WR Ashton Dulin ran 1 time for 3 yards and also caught 1 pass for 55 yards and a touchdown on 2 targets in Sunday's 27-23 loss to the Dallas Cowboys. He was projected for 0.4 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 12.3.

Dallas Cowboys RB Javonte Williams ran 20 times for 101 yards and a touchdown and also caught 4 passes for 23 yards on 5 targets in Sunday's 27-23 win over the Indianapolis Colts. He was projected for 16.5 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 20.4.
| 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. |
Javonte Williams player page
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. |
CeeDee Lamb player page
Dallas Cowboys QB Dak Prescott completed 21 of 34 passes for 335 yards with 2 touchdowns and lost 1 fumble in Sunday's 27-23 win over the Indianapolis Colts. He was projected for 19.8 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 19.5.
| 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. |

Patriots WR Mack Hollins and WR Kyle Williams were the team's starting wide receivers for Sunday's Week 9 game against the Packers. Hollins, who was activated from injured reserve on Saturday after a calf injury, was listed as questionable for the game. QB Drake Maye and RB Rhamondre Stevenson were also in the starting lineup.

49ers WRs Brandin Cooks and Jordan Watkins were listed as the starting wide receivers in San Francisco's starting offense against the Raiders on Sunday. The rest of the starting skill-position group was QB Brock Purdy, RB Christian McCaffrey, FB Kyle Juszczyk and TE George Kittle. McCaffrey had been dealing with a hamstring injury but carried no injury designation for the game.

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. |

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. |
Pat Bryant player page
Denver Broncos WR Jaylen Waddle caught 1 pass for 22 yards on 1 target in Sunday's 26-21 win over the Carolina Panthers. He was projected for 10.3 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 2.7.

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. |
Darren Waller player page
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. |
Bryce Young player page
Washington Commanders WR Van Jefferson caught 5 passes for 58 yards and a touchdown on 7 targets in Sunday's 20-13 loss to the Los Angeles Rams. He was projected for 1.3 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 14.3.

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. |

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. |
Adonai Mitchell player page
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. |
Ken Walker III player page
Miami Dolphins WR Malik Washington ran 1 time for 0 yards and also caught 2 passes for 21 yards on 3 targets in Sunday's 19-9 loss to the Detroit Lions. He was projected for 9.9 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 3.1.

Detroit Lions QB Jared Goff completed 17 of 25 passes for 170 yards and 1 interception in Sunday's 19-9 win over the Miami Dolphins. He was projected for 18.9 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 6.3.
| Footballguys view: Jeff Hafley knows Goff's game well from his four matchups against him as the Packers defensive coordinator in 2024-25. He doesn't have the same quality of personnel in Miami (yet), but Hafley's defense contained Jahmyr Gibbs and put a cap on the Lions vertical passing game, just like Green Bay did in two wins over Detroit last year. This was also outdoor Goff, which we will get again vs. the Patriots in Munich, Germany. |
Jared Goff player page
Miami Dolphins QB Malik Willis completed 13 of 25 passes for 128 yards and 1 interception in Sunday's 19-9 loss to the Detroit Lions. He was projected for 18.2 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 4.8.
| Footballguys view: The Lions defense appears to have found itself against Kyler Murray and the Vikings in Week 8. They stuffed the Dolphins running game and made life hard for Willis after the Dolphins' starting quarterback had been displaying command of the offense, leading five long touchdown drives against the Patriots and Jets the last two weeks. Willis was coming on in fantasy, but his running has been limited by a groin injury. Next week, Willis and the Dolphins face a declining Colts defense that just gave up over 500 total yards to Dallas, so he'll still be a viable bye-week coverage option for Caleb Williams teams if he can get in full practices to show that his groin injury is getting better. |
Malik Willis player page
Chiefs WR Xavier Worthy went down grabbing his hamstring during Sunday's game against the Jets. The Chiefs have been calling teams about wide receivers for weeks, and it was already likely that Kansas City would add a WR before Tuesday.
| Footballguys view: Worthy had six receptions for 48 yards when he left the game, so he was functional in the short-range passing game even though he hasn't become the deep threat the Chiefs hoped he would be when they moved up to take him in the 2024 first round. Josh Downs and Brian Thomas Jr. are the names most frequently mentioned as wide receiver trade targets for Kansas City. |

Patriots WR Mack Hollins is active for Sunday's game against the Packers after returning from injured reserve following a four-game absence with a calf injury. Hollins played 63% of offensive snaps before hurting his calf in Week 4 against the Bills. The expectation is that he might see some prominent snaps as the Z-receiver, which in turn might bump second-year WR Efton Chism III down the depth chart.

Panthers head coach Dave Canales said QB Bryce Young looked good moving around this week. Young did not hesitate on a 13-yard scramble during Sunday's game against the Broncos.
