Giants | J.J. McCarthy replaces 'ineffective' Jameis Winston vs. Saints, throws for 243 yards in near miracle comeback Sun Oct 18, 03:43 PM
Giants QB J.J. McCarthy entered Sunday's game against the Saints at quarterback in place of an ineffective QB Jameis Winston. The change came after New Orleans scored 34 unanswered points to take a 34-10 lead over the Giants. McCarthy threw an interception on his first drive and then led two touchdown and one field goal drives to get the Giants within seven points. McCarthy then drove the team down into scoring range, but couldn't throw a touchdown on the game's final play as Isaiah Likely had three Saints all over him as the ball arrived. McCarthy was 11 for 21 for 243 yards, one touchdown, and one interception, with two carries for 26 yards on the day.
| Footballguys view: It's hard to know exactly what John Harbaugh will do after this game, but McCarthy made a strong case to be the starting quarterback against the Texans next week. The Saints were in garbage time defense mode at first, so we can't be sure this will stick, but McCarthy was making the necessary throws to not just get the Giants back in this game, but also support top end fantasy value for Malik Nabers and Isaiah Likely after he sunk Justin Jefferson's value last season. McCarthy should be added in 2QB/Superflex leagues as the still first place Giants don't know who their best quarterback and running back are heading into Week 7. |

Giants | Darnell Mooney questionable to return, Charlie Jones 'getting a lot of snaps' Sun Oct 18, 03:26 PM
Giants WR Darnell Mooney (neck) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Saints. The Giants are down to three wide receivers, and WR Charlie Jones is "getting a lot of snaps" with Mooney sidelined.
| Footballguys view: Mooney had been limited in practice on Wednesday with the neck injury. He finished the day with one carry for 20 yards and no catches on two targets. We'll be watching for more on his status in coming days. The Giants play the Texans in Week 7. |

Titans | Carnell Tate back in after being slammed to the ground vs. Colts, scores only Titans offensive touchdown in win Sun Oct 18, 03:04 PM
Titans rookie WR Carnell Tate was down momentarily after being slammed to the ground during Sunday's game against the Colts. Tate has since returned to the game. He finished with six catches for 70 yards and a touchdown on seven targets, and also drew a big pass interference penalty to set up the game-winning field goal.
| Footballguys view: Tate has looked like a No. 1 receiver in two of the last three games with fantasy numbers to match. Even though the Titans offense has been one of the worst in the league and Cam Ward isn't improving at quarterback, Tate has the demonstrated upside to stay in lineups as a WR3/Flex despite a tough matchup against Denzel Ward and the Browns next week. |

Moore had no gloves on and his hood up while the rest of Buffalo's receivers ran routes against air, and he took no reps. It is "looking extremely possible" that Moore misses another game. He is officially questionable with a shoulder injury.

Ravens | Rashod Bateman ruled out for rest of game against Browns Sun Oct 18, 02:39 PM
Ravens WR Rashod Bateman (shoulder) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Browns. Baltimore's remaining receivers are Zay Flowers, Ja'Kobi Lane, Devontez Walker, and LaJohntay Wester.
| Footballguys view: Ja'Kobi Lane becomes the No. 2 receiver and is worth a pickup with Lamar Jackson due to return soon -- possibly even next week against the Bengals, now that the Ravens have lost a divisional game today. |

Texans | Stroud on Marvin Harrison Jr.: 'We'll get him more touches going forward' Sun Oct 18, 01:41 PM
Texans QB C.J. Stroud said on Sunday that WR Marvin Harrison Jr. will see more touches going forward after making his Texans debut in the Week 6 win over the Jaguars. "It felt like old times. I thought he looked great. We'll get him more touches going forward," Stroud said. Harrison was expected to play 15-20 snaps in his debut and was not on a full workload.
| Footballguys view: Harrison should be added in leagues where he was dropped and bench size allows. C.J. Stroud may not be able to support Marvin Harrison Jr. and Jaylin Noel (who caught all four of his targets for more than 100 yards and a score today) in addition to Nico Collins, but we can see that both Harrison and Noel will have a high weekly ceiling with defenses focused on Collins and the Texans struggling to establish the run. |

Jaguars | Brian Thomas Jr. plays zero second-half snaps against the Texans Sun Oct 18, 12:57 PM
Jaguars WR Brian Thomas Jr. played zero snaps in the second half of Sunday's game against the Texans after playing 15 snaps in the first half, according to ESPN Research. No reason for his absence after halftime was given.
| Footballguys view: Trade talks should heat up during the Jaguars' bye. They won't get what the Cardinals got for Marvin Harrison Jr. (Houston's second-round pick and a seventh-for-sixth swap), but teams that could have used Harrison but didn't want to pay that price -- perhaps the Colts or Chiefs -- might be interested in acquiring Thomas. |

Texans | Jawhar Jordan runs for 43 yards, one TD in win over Jaguars Sun Oct 18, 12:50 PM
Houston Texans RB Jawhar Jordan ran 6 times for 43 yards and a touchdown and also caught 1 pass for 7 yards on 1 target in Sunday's 34-31 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars. He was projected for 0.6 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 11.5.
| Footballguys view: Jordan had a 100-yard game for the Texans last year, and he had the big play in the running game for Houston in this one. Jordan was on the practice squad, but he is a good early-down option for Houston and should cap Woody Marks' upside as a fantasy play until David Montgomery comes back. If Marks were to go down before Montgomery is healthy, Jordan would be worth rostering as the next man up. |
Jawhar Jordan player page
Jaguars | Hunter catches 4 passes for 59 yards, a touchdown in loss to Texans Sun Oct 18, 12:50 PM
Jacksonville Jaguars WR Travis Hunter caught 4 passes for 59 yards and a touchdown on 4 targets in Sunday's 34-31 loss to the Houston Texans. He was projected for 0.6 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 13.9.
| Footballguys view: Hunter also had an end zone interception in the fourth quarter with the Texans up three. This was the kind of performance the Jaguars dreamed of when they moved up to the No. 2 pick to take Hunter last year. He might be inconsistent in non-IDP leagues, but now we can see what he is capable of with limited offensive snaps. He's worth carrying through the bye in redraft leagues if bench size allows. Congrats if you have him in IDP leagues where his stats count on both sides of the ball, especially if you can play him as a defensive back. |

Jaguars | Tuten runs for 39 yards, two receiving TDs in loss to Texans Sun Oct 18, 12:50 PM
Jacksonville Jaguars RB Bhayshul Tuten ran 12 times for 39 yards and also caught 4 passes for 48 yards and two touchdowns on 4 targets in Sunday's 34-31 loss to the Houston Texans. He was projected for 13.2 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 22.7.
| Footballguys view: Tuten had a touchdown run nullified by a holding penalty and ended up scoring on the drive anyway via a reception. Chris Rodriguez Jr. actually ran the ball more effectively than Tuten, but Tuten's prowess as a receiver made him a strong RB1 play anyway. Consider Tuten a high-ceiling RB2 heading into his bye. |
Bhayshul Tuten player page
Texans | Noel catches 4 passes for 107 yards, a touchdown in win over Jaguars Sun Oct 18, 12:50 PM
Houston Texans WR Jaylin Noel caught 4 passes for 107 yards and a touchdown on 4 targets in Sunday's 34-31 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars. He was projected for 5.3 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 18.7.
| Footballguys view: Fantasy football math doesn't always make sense. The addition of Marvin Harrison Jr. immediately opened up even more big-play possibilities for Noel in the same way that trading him away made teams pay more attention to Michael Wilson. Noel gets the Giants before the Texans' Week 8 bye and should be on rosters in PPR leagues where bench size allows. |

Texans | Stroud throws for 312 yards, three touchdowns in win over Jaguars Sun Oct 18, 12:50 PM
Houston Texans QB C.J. Stroud completed 24 of 34 passes for 312 yards with 3 touchdowns and 1 interception in Sunday's 34-31 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars. He was projected for 17.8 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 24.0.
| Footballguys view: Stroud's lone interception was on a forced throw into the corner of the end zone (picked by Travis Hunter!) or he would have had an even bigger day. Marvin Harrison Jr. was involved right away and helped open things up for the pass offense, and Nico Collins also drew two big pass interference penalties that didn't show up in the box score. The Texans pass offense is carrying the team with the running game and pass defense disappointing, but that's great news for Stroud's fantasy teams, as he has arrived as a high-floor QB1. |

Jaguars | Lawrence throws for 306 yards, four touchdowns in loss to Texans Sun Oct 18, 12:50 PM
Jacksonville Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence completed 24 of 41 passes for 306 yards with 4 touchdowns and 1 interception in Sunday's 34-31 loss to the Houston Texans. He was projected for 17.8 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 28.3.
| Footballguys view: Lawrence's interception came on third-and-goal during a first-half drive, or he could have had an even bigger day. Lawrence has posted big numbers in each of the last two games against defenses that were highly regarded coming into the season. His early-season numbers were dampened by the Jaguars putting the pass offense in mothballs in the third quarter of two blowout wins. Now we are seeing Lawrence's true weekly ceiling in competitive games. The Texans pass defense isn't what we thought it would be, but the Jaguars pass offense is also better than we thought it would be, and we were optimistic about them. Travis Hunter caught his first touchdown of the season to make Lawrence's arsenal of weapons even deeper heading into the Jaguars' bye. |
