Bengals | Joe Flacco listed as limited Thu Oct 30, 04:29 PM
Cincinnati Bengals QB Joe Flacco (shoulder) was limited during practice Thursday, Oct. 30.
| Footballguys view: Flacco is working to stay as the starter for the Bengals. This shoulder issue is problematic, and it does cast some doubt as to whether or not he's going to be out there in Week 9. Jake Browning will start if Flacco misses the game. |

Vikings | J.J. McCarthy a full participant Thu Oct 30, 04:09 PM
Minnesota Vikings QB J.J. McCarthy (ankle) fully participated in practice Thursday, Oct. 30.
| Footballguys view: McCarthy has been practicing in full, and he feels confident in his mobility. Being able to take off to run is part of his game, so it's safe to assume he should look as good as he can (right now). He's been mostly bad so far starting for the Vikings, but McCarthy and O'Connell studied together to try and get the simple things right. We'll see what kind of progress he can make the rest of this season provided he stays healthy. |

Indianapolis Colts WR Josh Downs (hip) fully participated in practice Thursday, Oct. 30.
| Footballguys view: Downs is good to go for the game against the Steelers on Sunday. With his speed and big-play ability, Downs makes for a nice flex play against a Steelers defense that is not so very good. |

Bears | Limited practice for Rome Odunze Thu Oct 30, 03:28 PM
Chicago Bears WR Rome Odunze (heel) was limited during practice Thursday, Oct. 30.
| Footballguys view: Odunze did not practice on Wednesday, and he's limited on Thursday. That means he's trending in the right direction, but he should still be considered questionable by Fantasy GMs looking for starting lineup help. If he's out there against a bad Bengals defense, Odunze is a WR2 with upside in Week 9. |

Chicago Bears WR DJ Moore (groin, hip) was limited during practice Thursday, Oct. 30.
| Footballguys view: This is the same practice plan Moore has been going through over the last two weeks. If he's full on Friday, Fantasy GMs can look to Moore as a WR3/flex option against the Bengals in Week 9. |

Bears | D'Andre Swift sits again Thu Oct 30, 03:18 PM
Chicago Bears RB D'Andre Swift (groin) did not participate in practice Thursday, Oct. 30.
| Footballguys view: This is different from what we've become used to with Swift as he deals with this groin injury. He has been getting in limited work on Thursdays. Now, we have to see what he can do on Friday. Kyle Monangai would get the start if Swift has to miss time. With a hapless Bengals defense coming up, Fantasy GMs need to be dialed into this situation. |

Texans | Dalton Schultz not on field Thu Oct 30, 02:06 PM
Houston Texans TE Dalton Schultz (knee, shoulder) is not participating in practice Thursday, Oct. 30.
| Footballguys view: That's two days missed this week for Schultz. He's not trending in the right direction for Week 9. The Texans could use Harrison Bryant and Dalton Keene against the Broncos on Sunday if Schultz misses the game. |

Link to story Cardinals | Arizona preparing for Kyler Murray to start Thu Oct 30, 01:17 PM
Arizona Cardinals QB Kyler Murray (foot) is preparing to start for the team, according to head coach Jonathan Gannon.
| Footballguys view: It's a Monday night game against the Cowboys in Week 9, and Murray is likely to make a return after a two-game absence. Murray faces a Cowboys defense that is soft, so he could be a better-than-expected starter in his return. With the way Jacoby Brissett looked as the starter, there's pressure on Murray to be more efficient and effective as a passer. Trey McBride had three touchdowns with Brissett in two games and only one touchdown with Murray in five games. |

Raiders | Brock Bowers ready for Week 9 Thu Oct 30, 01:17 PM
Las Vegas Raiders TE Brock Bowers (knee) said he is 'ready to roll' for the Week 9 game against the Jacksonville Jaguars, and head coach Pete Carroll said Bowers is back to playing at full speed.
| Footballguys view: Coming out of the bye, it will be good to see Bowers out there. His return to the field is a boost for Geno Smith. Now that he's back out there, Bowers is a TE1 for Fantasy GMs. |
Bengals | Joe Flacco leaning on Ja'Marr Chase Thu Oct 30, 01:17 PM
Cincinnati Bengals WR Ja'Marr Chase has recorded 53 targets in the three games that QB Joe Flacco has started, the most targets in a three-game span in the last 20 years.
| Footballguys view: In Week 8, Flacco targeted Chase a whopping 19 times but that was down from the 23 targets he had in Week 7. So long as Flacco is under center, he's going to keep feeding Chase - much to the delight of Fantasy GMs. |

Vikings | J.J. McCarthy confident in return Thu Oct 30, 01:10 PM
Minnesota Vikings QB J.J. McCarthy (ankle) took all the first-team reps in practice Wednesday, Oct. 29, and he said that his ankle feels 'amazing' ahead of the Week 9 game against the Detroit Lions. 'I'm ready to go,' McCarthy said. 'I feel like myself again. I feel like I have those mobility things that I was concerned about going into last week and the prior weeks.'
| Footballguys view: McCarthy has been practicing in full, and he feels confident in his mobility. Being able to take off to run is part of his game, so it's safe to assume he should look as good as he can (right now). He's been mostly bad so far starting for the Vikings, but McCarthy and O'Connell studied together to try and get the simple things right. We'll see what kind of progress he can make the rest of this season provided he stays healthy. |

Saints | Alvin Kamara not being used on screens Thu Oct 30, 11:13 AM
New Orleans Saints RB Alvin Kamara has only been targeted three times on screen plays through eight weeks after multiple seasons of 16 targets on screen plays.
| Footballguys view: Kamara is not the same player he used to be, and he's not getting used on screens the way he used to be either. Fantasy GMs have noticed the difference, and that's why Kamara is more of an RB2/flex play than he is a set-if-and-forget-it RB1 like in the past. |

Saints | Tyler Shough viewed as season-long starter Wed Oct 29, 07:56 PM
New Orleans Saints QB Tyler Shough will start in Week 9 against the Los Angeles Rams, and head coach Kellen Moore said Wednesday, Oct. 29 that the plan is for Shough to be the starter for the rest of the year.
| Footballguys view: The Saints selected Shough in the second round of the 2025 NFL draft with the idea he could be their starter. He didn't begin the season as the starter, and Spencer Rattler got enough time to try and prove himself (but he struggled). Now, it's time to see if Shough can flash or if the team needs to start thinking quarterback early in the 2026 NFL draft. |
