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. |

Cardinals WR Michael Wilson's broken ribs "weren't gonna keep him from practicing or playing," according to a Friday report ahead of Sunday's Week 9 game at the Seahawks. Wilson was limited in Friday's practice, which the team listed as a rest day. He said after last Sunday's win over the Cowboys that he has two broken ribs.

Rams | Myles Garrett expected to play Sunday, Friday DNP 'just being smart with him' Fri Nov 6, 06:15 PM
Rams DE Myles Garrett (knee) is expected to play in Sunday's Week 9 game at the Commanders barring any setbacks, head coach Sean McVay said on Friday. 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
Seahawks DT Leonard Williams will miss Sunday's game against the Cardinals with a stinger, head coach Mike Macdonald announced on Friday.

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. |

Rams | Myles Garrett has no injury designation, 'good to go' for Sunday vs. Commanders Fri Nov 6, 04:29 PM

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. |
Amon-Ra St. Brown player page
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. |
Malik Nabers player page
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. Brown suffered a calf injury in Thursday's practice that the Commanders are concerned about. WR Treylon Burks (foot) has also been ruled out, thinning a receiver corps that already lost Terry McLaurin for the season.

Giants | Cam Skattebo listed as doubtful for Sunday vs. Eagles Fri Nov 6, 04:03 PM
Giants RB Cam Skattebo is listed as doubtful for Sunday's Week 9 game at the Eagles due to a hamstring injury. Skattebo worked on the side with a trainer on Thursday and was in uniform but did not appear to do much at Friday's practice.
| Footballguys view: There was hope that Skattebo would heal during the bye, but he's struggling to get back on the field after injuring his hamstring on a game-winning breakaway run a couple of weeks ago. In his absence, expect Devin Singletary to handle the bulk of the work. |
Cam Skattebo player page
Commanders | Treylon Burks ruled out for Sunday vs. Rams Fri Nov 6, 04:01 PM
The Commanders have ruled WR Treylon Burks (foot) out for Sunday's Week 9 game against the Rams. Burks missed practice on Thursday and was not seen at Friday's practice.
| Footballguys view: Burks' young career has been a mix of highlights and injuries. He showed some flashes in Week 8, but picked up a foot injury and will miss Week 9. He's droppable in most formats. Stefon Diggs can be relied on as a steady WR2 this week. Rookie Antonio Williams is an intriguing flex option. And Chig Okonkwo moves high up the tight end rankings, in the back-end TE1 mix. |
Treylon Burks player page
Eagles | Saquon Barkley 'good to go' for Giants game after another limited practice Fri Nov 6, 03:56 PM
Eagles RB Saquon Barkley is "good to go" for Sunday's game against the Giants after another limited practice on Friday. Barkley, who has been dealing with a hamstring injury, did not practice Wednesday before returning on Thursday.
| Footballguys view: With the Eagles shopping most of their vets, it's peculiar that they keep playing an injured Barkley while maintaining the stance that he won't be traded. He split touches with Elijah Mitchell last week and looked clearly limited by his injuries. As he gets healthier, his role may grow. But fantasy managers should hope the Eagles explore a trade and put him in a better offensive ecosystem. It's hard to trust him as anything more than a shaky RB2 this week. |

Eagles | Dontayvion Wicks ruled out for Sunday vs. Giants Fri Nov 6, 03:55 PM
Eagles WR Dontayvion Wicks (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's Week 9 game against the Giants, the team announced on its Friday injury report. Wicks was also ruled out for last Sunday's game against the Commanders.
| Footballguys view: Wicks will miss his second straight game. He's droppable in most formats unless the Eagles quickly turn things around. |
Dontayvion Wicks player page
Eagles | DeVonta Smith ruled out for Sunday vs. Giants Fri Nov 6, 03:55 PM
Eagles WR DeVonta Smith (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's Week 9 game against the Giants, the team announced on its Friday injury report. Smith was also ruled out for last Sunday's game against the Commanders.
| Footballguys view: Smith's hamstring issues have lingered since this preseason, and he hasn't practiced since Week 6. The Eagles are testing out Joe Milton III this weekend to see what they have on their depth chart. When Smith returns, it's hard to say what the Eagles will look like. His upside is too high to drop him, but fantasy managers should prepare for more frustration this season. |

49ers | Christian Kirk absent again Friday, 49ers WR group thin for Raiders Fri Nov 6, 03:47 PM
49ers WR Christian Kirk was not at practice on Friday. He also did not practice on Thursday with a knee injury he apparently suffered in Wednesday's practice. With Kirk out, the beat writer said it 'looks like' the 49ers' available WRs for Sunday's game against the Raiders will be Demarcus Robinson, Jordan Watkins, Brandin Cooks, Jacob Cowing and practice-squad WR KhaDarel Hodge.
| Footballguys view: Kirk missed most of training camp and this season because of a calf injury. He returned in Week 7, logged no targets, and suffered a new injury after the bye. He's droppable in all formats. |

49ers | Mike Evans not participating in open portion of Friday practice Fri Nov 6, 03:44 PM
49ers WR Mike Evans (Achilles) was not participating in the early open portion of Friday's practice. Evans also did not participate in the open portion of Thursday's practice and was called 'probably unlikely' to play in Sunday's Week 9 game against the Raiders.

49ers | Christian McCaffrey participating Friday, continues to 'trend in right direction' Fri Nov 6, 03:44 PM
49ers RB Christian McCaffrey (hamstring) was on the field and participating in the early open portion of Friday's practice. He continues to "trend in right direction." McCaffrey returned to practice Thursday after not practicing Wednesday.
| Footballguys view: An afternoon kickoff against the Raiders could be a headache, but all indications suggest McCaffrey should play this weekend. Assuming he's active, he's a plug-and-play RB1. McCaffrey's managers hopefully have Kaelon Black stashed in case. And if they don't, they should move McCaffrey into their flex spot and have a pivot option in the late slate or primetime games to fall back on. |
