49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan confirmed on Wednesday that San Francisco tried to trade for Vikings WR Jauan Jennings and that Minnesota was amenable, but Jennings preferred to stay. "It wasn't, like, a definite no at first," Shanahan said. "But he was like, 'Man, Kyle, I'm pretty happy. I'm liking stuff.'" Shanahan disputed Fox's Jay Glazer's Sunday report that Jennings turned down a FaceTime with team brass, saying "He FaceTimed me... It was a good talk," and added there was no "bad blood." Jennings has six catches on 10 targets in six games with Minnesota.

Broncos | Sean Payton 'good with the rotation' at RB when asked about J.K. Dobbins' workload Wed Nov 4, 05:40 PM
Broncos head coach Sean Payton said on Wednesday, "We're good with the rotation," at running back, in response to a question about whether the team is load-managing RB J.K. Dobbins. The comment was not a trade deadline smoke signal. Dobbins played 13 snaps to RB Jonah Coleman's 41 in Sunday's win over the Chiefs.
| Footballguys view: Coleman is the lead back, but Dobbins might get a "ceremonial" start again. We like Coleman to do more going forward, and he could post RB1 numbers against the Panthers in Week 9. Dobbins is more of a "what the heck" flex in his limited role. |

Rams | Matthew Stafford 'not too worried' about right elbow soreness Wed Nov 4, 05:40 PM
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. |

Broncos WR Pat Bryant returned to practice on Wednesday, opening his 21-day window to be activated from injured reserve. His return was expected. Bryant was placed on injured reserve on Oct. 9 with an ankle injury.
| Footballguys view: Bryant could be back this week for the game against the Panthers. However, the Broncos have a bye in Week 10, so Bryant could get an extra week of rest if the team doesn't think he's quite ready to get back on the field. |

Cardinals | James Conner not an option this week, Bam Knight misses practice with concussion Wed Nov 4, 04:28 PM
Cardinals RB James Conner, who remains on injured reserve, will not be an option for Sunday's Week 9 game at the Seahawks, head coach Mike LaFleur said on Wednesday. As for Conner playing this season, LaFleur said he is taking it "week-to-week." RB Bam Knight did not practice Wednesday as he recovers from a concussion, and rookie RB Jeremiyah Love is on injured reserve.
| Footballguys view: The week-to-week designation is curious, especially with the trade deadline coming up. With Love on IR, Tyler Allgeier handles a large workload for the Cardinals. We've got him in the RB2 range for Fantasy GMs in Week 9 against the Seahawks. |

Ravens | Giants' reported trade target Derrick Henry 'appears off the market' Wed Nov 4, 03:55 PM
Ravens RB Derrick Henry, a reported trade target of the Giants, appears to be off the market. Baltimore's push to stay in the playoff race makes any possibility of the Giants trading for Henry unlikely.
| Footballguys view: The Ravens are 4-4 and two games back from the Steelers (6-2) entering Week 9. With the trade for QB Jacoby Brissett, it seems like the team is not folding just yet. With the trade deadline less than a week away, Henry seems to be locked in with the Ravens. |

Colts | Jonathan Taylor limited Wednesday on partial 'rest' day Wed Nov 4, 03:43 PM
Colts RB Jonathan Taylor was a limited participant in practice on Wednesday, with the team listing it as a partial "rest" day. Taylor was not listed with an injury.
| Footballguys view: Taylor has not gotten traded -- yet. Teams like the Broncos, Giants, Vikings, and others should have interest. However, the Colts' asking price might be pretty high, and teams are so far hesitant to cough up a package for Taylor that could include a first-round pick. |

Cowboys | George Pickens likely staying in Dallas, 'content' and doesn't want to be moved Wed Nov 4, 03:15 PM
Cowboys WR George Pickens is expected to remain in Dallas through the trade deadline, as he "remains content in Dallas and doesn't want to be moved, nor does Dallas plan to trade him," ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reported. ESPN's Dan Graziano added that teams have wondered whether the 3-5 Cowboys would consider dealing Pickens, who is headed for 2027 free agency, but "I do not get the sense that Dallas would consider such a move." Pickens had four targets in Sunday's loss to the Cardinals, fewer than TE Brevyn Spann-Ford, and has 39 catches for 533 yards and two touchdowns through eight games.
| Footballguys view: As Pickens walked off the field at the end of the loss to the Cardinals, fans began to speculate about his status with the team. It all seems to be fine, and Jerry Jones said in a Tuesday radio interview on 105.3 The Fan that he is not looking to be a seller at the deadline. |

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. The Ravens are finalizing a trade for Brissett. Tyler Huntley started Week 7 against the Bengals, Lamar Jackson started Week 8 at the Bills, and rookie Joe Fagnano is set to start Thursday against the Jaguars.

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. |

Cowboys TE Jake Ferguson was going through resistance training on Wednesday as he works back from an ankle injury. Ferguson suffered a low ankle sprain against the Cardinals on Sunday.

Texans | Woody Marks could start again in Week 9 as Montgomery not seen at practice Wed Nov 4, 02:24 PM
Texans RB Woody Marks could once again be leaned on as a starter in Week 9 against the Chargers. RB David Montgomery (groin) was not seen at practice on Wednesday, according to reporter DJ Bien-Aime: "We did not see RB David Montgomery out there."
| Footballguys view: Marks should get another start this week. Against the Chargers in Week 9, Marks could post RB2 numbers for Fantasy GMs. He's been mostly underwhelming this season. |

Cowboys | George Pickens' snaps dipped while 'banged up', moving well at Wednesday practice Wed Nov 4, 02:21 PM
Cowboys WR George Pickens went from playing 55-60 offensive snaps per game over the first six weeks to 41 and 42 the last two weeks because he's been banged up. Pickens was limited in practice all last week with shoulder and hamstring injuries. He was at practice on Wednesday and was moving well in the portion open to reporters.
| Footballguys view: On Tuesday, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said Pickens "needs the ball coming in his direction more." He's not getting traded, per ESPN's Jeremy Fowler, despite fan speculation, and if Pickens is healthy he should get more work. Against the Colts, Pickens is a WR2 with WR1 upside in what could be a bounce-back game for the Cowboys after losing to the Cardinals in Week 8. |

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. |

Dolphins | Jaylen Wright not spotted at Wednesday practice Wed Nov 4, 01:57 PM
Dolphins RB Jaylen Wright was not spotted at practice on Wednesday. Wright was listed with a foot injury earlier in October, though he was "good to go" for the Dolphins' game against the Jets.
| Footballguys view: Ollie Gordon II is the featured back for the Dolphins, and Wright is mainly used as a change-of-pace back and special teams return man. He's a player we keep stashed, but only in deeper leagues. |

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. |

Giants | Singletary, Desrosiers only healthy RBs on active roster with Skattebo 'in doubt' Wed Nov 4, 01:42 PM
Giants RB Cam Skattebo (hamstring) again worked on the side with a trainer and did not practice on Wednesday, and he is in doubt for Sunday's Week 9 game at the Eagles. That leaves RB Devin Singletary and RB Greg Desrosiers, who was signed off the Chargers practice squad last week, as the only healthy running backs on the Giants' active roster, with RB Tyrone Tracy on injured reserve. RBs Phil Mafah and Eric Gray are on the practice squad.

Skattebo also worked on the side with a trainer in Monday's first practice after the bye, and head coach John Harbaugh called him "day-to-day" with the hamstring injury on Monday. The Giants visit the Eagles on Sunday.
| Footballguys view: Skattebo's hamstring injury might force him to miss the game against the Eagles. Devin Singletary would likely be the Giants' starter if Skattebo is out. |

Packers | Christian Watson practicing Wednesday despite broken rib Wed Nov 4, 01:33 PM
Packers WR Christian Watson was practicing on Wednesday. Watson said he broke a rib in last Thursday's win over the Panthers, a game in which he caught eight passes for 113 yards. LB Zaire Franklin, OL Sean Rhyan, OL Travis Glover, and TE Josh Whyle were the players on the 53-man roster not practicing.
| Footballguys view: We'll likely see Watson use extra protection like a flak jacket while he deals with this rib injury. It's a pain-tolerance issue, and if he's practicing on Wednesday, Watson should be able to play in Week 9. We've got him as a WR1 against the Patriots in Week 9. |
