Chargers | Mike McDaniel to call plays from coaches' box vs. Texans as Chargers' offense struggles Sat Nov 7, 12:13 PM
Chargers offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel said he will call plays from the coaches' box instead of the sideline during Sunday's Week 9 game against the Texans. "I want to try [to] call plays from the box to kind of see adjustments for myself and communicate to the position coaches appropriately what things we can focus on between series," McDaniel said, and head coach Jim Harbaugh said he is "all for it." The 0-7 Chargers haven't scored a touchdown since Oct. 11 and are averaging an NFL-low 14.1 points per game, while QB Justin Herbert has an NFL-worst 10 interceptions. McDaniel last called plays from the box as the 49ers' offensive coordinator in 2021.

Seahawks | Macdonald confirms Drew Lock will start vs. Cardinals, Milroe to back up Sat Nov 7, 10:35 AM
Seahawks QB Drew Lock will start Sunday against the Cardinals, head coach Mike Macdonald confirmed on Friday, even though Lock has been dealing with a right elbow injury. Macdonald said Seattle managed Lock's throwing this week out of precaution because of the elbow. QB Sam Darnold (quad) will be out, and second-year QB Jalen Milroe will back up Lock. Lock stepped in for Darnold earlier this season and led wins over the Patriots and Cardinals, throwing four touchdowns with no interceptions and completing 72.9% of his passes.

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.

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. |

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. |

Patriots | Drake Maye gets no game status, will play vs. Packers Fri Nov 6, 03:34 PM
Patriots QB Drake Maye (right shoulder) did not receive a game status and will be available for Sunday's game against the Packers.
| Footballguys view: Maye has been on the injury report for the last few weeks with a shoulder injury, but it hasn't impacted his play or kept him from elite production. He's a QB1 this week against the Packers. |

Browns | Todd Monken confirms Shedeur Sanders will start at QB Sunday vs. Saints Fri Nov 6, 01:19 PM
Browns QB Shedeur Sanders will start at quarterback in Sunday's Week 9 game at the Saints, head coach Todd Monken said on Friday. Sanders took the first-team reps on Wednesday and was described as likely to start on Thursday before Monken made it official.
| Footballguys view: Deshaun Watson returned to practice on Friday, but Sanders' full week of practice will give him a chance to start against the Saints this week. We haven't seen how Sanders will look in Monken's offense alongside rookies KC Concepcion Jr. and Denzel Boston. Last year, in Kevin Stefanski's offense, he clearly preferred targeting tight ends, helping boost Harold Fannin Jr. to high-end TE1 production. Sanders' familiarity with Fannin should help him this week, while Concepcion and Boston fall a bit in the ranks, becoming boom-or-bust WR3s. |

Browns | Deshaun Watson returns to practice after missing two days with concussion Fri Nov 6, 12:01 PM
Browns QB Deshaun Watson returned to practice on Friday after missing two days with a concussion. Watson had been placed in the concussion protocol on Wednesday. The Browns play the Saints on Sunday.
| Footballguys view: Watson finished last week's game after a big hit but started showing concussion symptoms the next day. A return to practice could put him on track to play this Sunday. Luckily, the Browns play early. If Watson is cleared to play, we'll know before most of the games kick off. If he can't go, Shedeur Sanders would almost certainly start. |

Ravens | Cardinals officially announce trade of Jacoby Brissett to Ravens Fri Nov 6, 11:00 AM
The Cardinals officially announced the trade of QB Jacoby Brissett to the Ravens on Friday. Arizona did not disclose what draft pick it received in return.
| Footballguys view: After last night's game from Joe Fagnano, it's hard to imagine how things could get much worse for the Ravens. Brissett should help get this offense back on track, hopefully keeping them competitive in case Lamar Jackson returns late in the season. Zay Flowers is the Ravens' most fantasy-relevant pass-catcher and has been a non-factor the last two weeks. There's hope that Brissett can bring him back up to WR1 status. As for Brissett, he probably won't have much value aside from two-QB and superflex leagues. |

Baltimore Ravens QB Joe Fagnano completed 10 of 18 passes for 60 yards and 2 interceptions in Thursday's 33-10 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. He was projected for 9.6 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 1.7.

Vikings head coach Kevin O'Connell announced on Thursday that QB Carson Wentz will start Monday night's Week 9 game against the Bills because QB Kyler Murray's hamstring injury will keep him sidelined. Murray was hurt late in Sunday's 19-15 loss to the Lions. The injury was ruled a Grade 1 sprain and his prognosis was listed as day-to-day, but O'Connell ruled him out three days early.

Buccaneers QB Baker Mayfield (right thumb) was a full participant in practice on Thursday. Mayfield was also a full participant in Wednesday's practice. Tampa Bay plays at the Bears on Sunday night in Week 9.
| Footballguys view: Mayfield completed 0-of-3 passes for zero yards in the Bucs' 16-0, Week 8 win over the Falcons. Against the Bears on Sunday night, we've got Mayfield in the QB3 range, which means even in start-2QB/superflex leagues you're unlikely to start him in Week 9. |

Ravens | Lamar Jackson, Tyler Huntley officially placed on IR; Austin Reed signed to 53-man roster Thu Nov 5, 04:05 PM
The Ravens officially placed QBs Lamar Jackson and Tyler Huntley on injured reserve on Thursday and signed QB Austin Reed to the 53-man roster. Jackson is set to undergo surgery on his right thumb, an injury head coach Jesse Minter called 'potentially season ending,' while Huntley suffered a turf toe injury described as 'season-ending.' Joe Fagnano is set to start Thursday's game against the Jaguars, with Reed and Kedon Slovis as his backups.

Vikings | IR for Kyler Murray 'not under consideration at all,' Wentz to start vs. Bills Thu Nov 5, 01:30 PM
Vikings HC Kevin O'Connell said on Thursday that placing QB Kyler Murray on injured reserve is "not under consideration at all." O'Connell said Murray's hamstring injury is "not much more than a week-to-week kind of thing," but the team does not want to risk making it worse. QB Carson Wentz will start for Minnesota in Monday night's game against the Bills.
| Footballguys view: A week-to-week injury means it may be some time before we see Murray back out there for the Vikings. Wentz is the starter again, and the team is looking for a spark that Murray wasn't providing. If he didn't have the hamstring injury, Murray would be in line to be benched based on his play. |

Seahawks | Sam Darnold also suffered cracked rib on second snap Monday, out this week Thu Nov 5, 12:47 PM
Seahawks QB Sam Darnold is out for Week 9 against the Cardinals after injuring his quad at the end of Monday night's game against the Bears. Head coach Mike Macdonald said Darnold also suffered a cracked rib when he took a hit on the second snap of that game, which Seattle lost 34-17.
| Footballguys view: Darnold is out for at least Week 9, and Drew Lock is the starter for the Seahawks. He's dealing with an elbow problem, so Seattle may have to play Jalen Milroe if Lock aggravates the injury. Some think Darnold is going to miss more than one game with these injuries. |

Browns | Shedeur Sanders 'will likely start' vs. Saints Thu Nov 5, 11:30 AM
Browns QB Shedeur Sanders will likely start Sunday's game against the Saints, the beat writer reported on Thursday. Rookie WR Denzel Boston spoke Thursday about traits he admires in Sanders.
| Footballguys view: Deshaun Watson did not practice on Thursday as he goes through the league concussion protocol. Sanders is set to start against the Saints, and Fantasy GMs should consider him a QB2/streaming option if he's under center. |

Vikings | Schefter: 'Trending towards Carson Wentz starting' for injured Kyler Murray on MNF Thu Nov 5, 10:20 AM
Vikings QB Carson Wentz could start Monday night against the Bills in place of QB Kyler Murray, who is dealing with a hamstring injury. "It sounds like it is trending towards Carson Wentz starting Monday night," ESPN's Adam Schefter said on Thursday. Murray's hamstring was tight on Sunday and "sore" on Monday, per head coach Kevin O'Connell, with a "full eval" to follow, and offensive coordinator Wes Phillips noted the uncertainty on Tuesday. The Vikings hold their first practice of the week on Thursday.
| Footballguys view: Murray has a hamstring injury, and the team needs to find a spark at the quarterback position. Wentz has never seen a coverage he doesn't like, and that mentality is what Fantasy GMs are looking for. Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison can do more with a quarterback willing to attack a defense. |

Rams QB Matthew Stafford downplayed leaving the locker room on Sunday with an ice pack on his right elbow, saying on Wednesday that he has iced throughout the season. "Little bit of soreness and stuff that is not uncommon this time of year," Stafford said. "Haven't missed a rep in a game. Feel good. So I'm not too worried about it."
| Footballguys view: Stafford is a seasoned veteran who has dealt with nagging injuries before. Against the Commanders in Week 9, we've got him in the QB2 (with QB1 upside) range for Fantasy GMs out there. |

Panthers | Bryce Young listed as full participant on estimated report Wed Nov 4, 05:00 PM
Panthers QB Bryce Young (ankle) was listed as a full participant on Wednesday's estimated injury report. The Panthers did not practice Wednesday after practicing Tuesday, and the estimated report reflects what was seen on the practice field the day before. Carolina hosts the Broncos in Week 9.
| Footballguys view: Young is coming off a Thursday night game in Week 8 where he was sacked six times. Now, he gets to face a sack-happy Broncos defense in Week 9. The Panthers need to do a much better job protecting him this week. Expect a lot of short passes to keep the Broncos' rushers at bay. |

Cardinals | Jacoby Brissett projected to start Week 10, Ravens could have four QBs start in four games Wed Nov 4, 03:00 PM
Cardinals QB Jacoby Brissett is projected to be the Ravens' starting quarterback for Week 10 against the Chargers, which would give Baltimore four different starting quarterbacks in four games.

Ravens | Ravens finalizing trade for Jacoby Brissett after Jackson, Huntley injuries Wed Nov 4, 02:45 PM
The Ravens are finalizing a trade for Cardinals QB Jacoby Brissett, a deal also reported by Adam Schefter. The move fills the void left by injuries to Ravens QBs Lamar Jackson and Tyler Huntley. The deal is expected to be completed this weekend.
| Footballguys view: The Ravens play on Thursday night against the Jaguars, so the deal couldn't get done in time for him to play this week. However, Brissett is a seasoned veteran who should be able to pick up the offense quickly. That means he could certainly be the team's starter in Week 10. The Ravens play against the hapless Chargers that week on Monday Night Football. |

Eagles naming Joe Milton III starting QB, benching Tanner McKee for Giants game Wed Nov 4, 02:01 PM
The Eagles are naming QB Joe Milton III their starting quarterback and benching QB Tanner McKee for Sunday's Week 9 game against the Giants, NFL Network's Mike Garafolo and ESPN's Adam Schefter reported Wednesday. McKee is 0-3 as a starter. Milton will be the fourth different Eagles quarterback to throw a pass this season, after Jalen Hurts (blood clots), Andy Dalton (released) and McKee. Philadelphia is 2-6 and has lost six straight.
| Footballguys view: Milton has a big arm, like 80 yards on a rope kind of arm, and he's going to be able to stretch the field because of that. He'll need to work on his consistency, but the athleticism and arm strength make him an intriguing prospect. Add Milton in start-2QB/superflex leagues as a "lottery ticket" addition. It could work out okay, or it could be disastrous in a lost season for the Eagles. |

Seahawks | Drew Lock dealing with elbow injury; Macdonald says 'he's able to throw' Wed Nov 4, 01:52 PM
Seahawks QB Drew Lock is dealing with an elbow injury, head coach Mike Macdonald said on Wednesday. "He's able to throw. How much, we're working through that right now," Macdonald said. Lock is in line to start with QB Sam Darnold out with a quad injury.
| Footballguys view: Lock has been an emergency QB3 for the Seahawks over the last couple of weeks as he deals with this injury. Now, he's thrust into the starting lineup again with Darnold out for at least this week (and perhaps even Week 10). Jalen Milroe will get some work this week as well, but Macdonald had no issue calling Lock the starter on Wednesday. We've got Lock in the QB2 range. |

Seahawks QB Sam Darnold is out for Week 9 against the Cardinals with a quad injury, head coach Mike Macdonald said on Wednesday. Macdonald called Darnold week-to-week, and he is not going on injured reserve.
| Footballguys view: The Bears got after Darnold in Week 8, and now he's going to miss at least this week against the Cardinals. We'll see Drew Lock as the starter again, and he's a QB2 option in superflex leagues. |

Browns | Monken not ruling out Watson, Shedeur Sanders takes QB1 reps on Wednesday Wed Nov 4, 12:10 PM
Browns QB Deshaun Watson remains in the concussion protocol, and QB Shedeur Sanders took the QB1 reps in practice on Wednesday. Head coach Todd Monken is not yet ruling out Watson for Sunday's game at the Saints but acknowledged the return-to-play process is "a little more difficult for a quarterback" because of the mental preparation needed to get ready for game day. Asked if Watson could play Sunday without practicing but getting cleared Saturday, Monken did not commit: "I don't know that."
| Footballguys view: Getting through the concussion protocol may not be something Watson can do in such short order. The team and Fantasy GMs should be preparing to have Sanders under center in Week 9. That could mean plenty of targets for guys like Harold Fannin Jr. and KC Concepcion Jr. |
Shedeur Sanders player page
KC Concepcion Jr. has 'a bit of rapport' with Shedeur Sanders from camp Wed Nov 4, 11:42 AM
Browns rookie WR KC Concepcion Jr. caught a lot of passes from QB Shedeur Sanders during Cleveland's quarterback competition in training camp, giving the pair "a bit of rapport." "All we have to do is get that bond back started," Concepcion said. QB Deshaun Watson is in the concussion protocol, and Sanders is in line to start if he can't clear.
| Footballguys view: Sanders can work underneath routes, so we expect plenty of targets for TE Harold Fannin Jr. However, the connection and chemistry with Concepcion cannot be denied. With Sanders out there, we view Concepcion as a WR3/flex option for Fantasy GMs in Week 9. |

Browns | Deshaun Watson in concussion protocol, Shedeur Sanders in line to start if he can't clear Wed Nov 4, 09:32 AM
Browns QB Deshaun Watson has been placed in the concussion protocol, the team announced on Wednesday. Watson was evaluated for a head injury during Sunday's loss to the Steelers before returning to the game. Cleveland plays at the Saints on Sunday in Week 9, and QB Shedeur Sanders would be in line to start if Watson cannot clear the protocol in time.
| Footballguys view: It would be a challenge for Watson to clear league protocol and play in Week 9. The 'vibe' around the Browns is that Sanders is going to get his first start of 2026. He's a skilled passer when it comes to underneath routes, so TE Harold Fannin should be in line for plenty of targets with Sanders under center. We only see Sanders as a QB3, so even if you play in a start-2QB/superflex league, he's likely on your bench if he's on a roster at all. |

Ravens | Tyler Huntley suffers 'season-ending' turf toe injury, Joe Fagnano to start Thursday Wed Nov 4, 07:24 AM
Tests revealed that Ravens QB Tyler Huntley suffered a season-ending turf toe injury. With QB Lamar Jackson out indefinitely with a thumb injury, rookie QB Joe Fagnano will start Thursday night's Week 9 game against the Jaguars.
| Footballguys view: Fagnano struggled against the Bills last week, and we imagine those struggles will continue against a better Jaguars defense. This negatively impacts the fantasy value of guys like Derrick Henry and Zay Flowers. The Ravens made a move for Jacoby Brissett that should be finalized over the weekend, and we imagine he starts for the Ravens in Week 10 (on Monday Night Football against the Chargers). |

Panthers | 'Increasing chatter' that Panthers, Bryce Young quietly working toward new deal Wed Nov 4, 06:19 AM
Panthers QB Bryce Young remains without a second contract in his fourth season, but there is "increasing chatter" that the Panthers and Young are quietly working toward a new deal. In theory, a new deal could be done at any time. Young and the Panthers "never really got anywhere" on a contract before the season.
| Footballguys view: With no movement before the season, the plan was to let Young play through this season before getting a new deal done. Even though some struggles (playing behind that OL can't be fun) have plagued Young this season, a new deal with the Panthers that pays him in excess of $50 million annually could be in his future. |

The Ravens added Austin Reed and Kedon Slovis for depth. But Fagnano is currently the best hope for getting the most out of the team's other skill players. |

Ravens rookie QB Joe Fagnano walked onto the practice field on Tuesday wearing a brace around his injured right ankle. Fagnano was described as having 'a chance' to play Thursday against the Jaguars, with Lamar Jackson and Tyler Huntley ruled out.
| Footballguys view: Fagnano's availability isn't a sure thing, but the Ravens don't have great options here. The Ravens signed Austin Reed to their practice squad on Monday, and he could find himself in the mix for playing time during his first days with the team. Baltimore also signed Kedon Slovis off Green Bay's practice squad for additional depth. Stay tuned. This could go right up to game time. |

Raiders | Mark Davis: 'Absolutely no pressure whatsoever' to start Fernando Mendoza Tue Nov 3, 01:32 PM
Raiders owner Mark Davis said in a Monday interview with CNBC that there is "absolutely no pressure whatsoever" from him to start rookie QB Fernando Mendoza, the No. 1 overall pick, as reported by Adam Hill of the Las Vegas Review-Journal.
| Footballguys view: Davis said the team was "fortunate to get Kirk Cousins as someone who could bridge the gap" and added, "I think we're fortunate he doesn't have to go out and play." Davis said Mendoza is "picking it up great" and that he is "really happy with the way it is with Fernando right now, and we'll see what happens." Mendoza has made one appearance this season, completing 6 of 8 passes for 48 yards in mop-up duty in the Week 5 loss to the Patriots. |
