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. |
Christian Kirk player page
49ers | Deebo Samuel ruled out for Week 9 vs. Raiders Fri Nov 6, 04:56 PM
49ers WR Deebo Samuel (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. |
Deebo Samuel Sr. player page
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. |
Christian McCaffrey player page
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. |
Rashid Shaheed player page
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 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 mid-week 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 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. |
DeVonta Smith player page
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. |
Christian Kirk player page
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. |
Christian McCaffrey player page
Packers | MarShawn Lloyd questionable for Sunday vs. Patriots Fri Nov 6, 03:34 PM
Packers RB MarShawn Lloyd (knee) has been listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Patriots. Lloyd popped up on the injury report during the practice week.
| Footballguys view: Lloyd has handled very little work since Josh Jacobs returned, earning just 12 touches over the last two weeks. He's an injury away from any fantasy rosters. If he can't go on Sunday afternoon, expect Pierre Strong Jr. to be the team's backup, with Jacobs handling the lion's share of the work. |
MarShawn Lloyd player page
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. |
Drake Maye player page
Packers | Christian Watson gets no game status, will play Sunday vs. Patriots Fri Nov 6, 03:34 PM
Packers WR Christian Watson (ribs) did not receive a game status and will be available for Sunday's game against the Patriots. Watson broke a rib during the Packers' 27-19 win over the Panthers but returned to finish that game, and he wore protective padding while practicing in a limited capacity this week. "We have a good plan in place," Watson said on Wednesday. "Obviously, there'll be pads and stuff on it but kind of just what it is. It's one of those things that'll probably be a little bothersome, but you know can still play."
| Footballguys view: Given Watson's ability to return to last week's game, there was little doubt surrounding his Week 9 availability. Watson has been on fire this year and is currently the WR3 in PPR. Start him with confidence. |
Christian Watson player page
Vikings | Jauan Jennings not seen at Friday practice with calf injury Fri Nov 6, 03:24 PM
Vikings WR Jauan Jennings was not seen at Friday's practice, which the team held indoors. Jennings was added to the injury report on Thursday with a calf injury.
| Footballguys view: Jennings has been a non-factor in fantasy this year. Even if he is active, he shouldn't be started anywhere. |
Jauan Jennings player page
Cowboys | Jake Ferguson questionable for Week 9 at Colts Fri Nov 6, 03:16 PM
Cowboys TE Jake Ferguson (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Colts. Ferguson did not practice on Wednesday or Thursday.

Cowboys | George Pickens questionable for Sunday against the Colts Fri Nov 6, 03:16 PM
Cowboys WR George Pickens (hamstring) is questionable for Sunday's Week 9 game at the Colts. Pickens was limited in practice on Wednesday and Thursday.
| Footballguys view: Luckily, the Cowboys play early, so fantasy managers will have no dearth of pivot options if needed. Practicing all week is a promising sign, and both Jerry Jones and Brian Schottenheimer said they share a desire to get Pickens more involved. If active, Pickens is a volatile WR2. If he's inactive, Ryan Flournoy moves from risky WR3 firmly into WR2 discussion. |

Cowboys | 'Optimism' for Jake Ferguson on Cowboys' Friday game status report Fri Nov 6, 03:09 PM
There is 'optimism' for Cowboys TE Jake Ferguson (ankle) ahead of Sunday's game at the Colts, coming out of the team's Friday game status report. Ferguson did not practice on Wednesday or Thursday because of the ankle sprain.
| Footballguys view: Ferguson was the per-game TE31 going into the Week 8 game in which he was injured. The Cowboys have leaned more on three-receiver sets lately, and Ryan Flournoy's emergence has come at Ferguson's expense. Even if he's active, Ferguson isn't startable. And in most leagues, it's hard to even justify rostering him. |
Jake Ferguson player page
Chiefs | Travis Kelce full Thursday and Friday, no game designation Fri Nov 6, 02:56 PM
Chiefs TE Travis Kelce (ankle) was a full participant in practice on Thursday and Friday after being limited on Wednesday. He has no game designation heading into Sunday's game against the Jets.
| Footballguys view: Kelce was limited on Wednesday but has logged back-to-back full practices since. Start him as a back-end TE1 against the Jets this week. |
Travis Kelce player page
Chiefs | Rashee Rice has no game designation for Week 9 Fri Nov 6, 02:56 PM
Chiefs WR Rashee Rice (hamstring/knee) was a full participant in practice on Thursday and Friday after being limited on Wednesday. He has no game designation heading into Sunday's game against the Jets.
| Footballguys view: Rice suffered a season-ending knee injury last year and played through a hamstring injury last week, explaining his designation on this week's report. The Chiefs are liberal with their injury report inclusions, and there's no indication Rice won't be his normal self against the Jets this week. Start him as a WR2. |

Bears | Kyle Monangai questionable vs. Buccaneers after limited Friday practice Fri Nov 6, 02:50 PM
Bears RB Kyle Monangai is questionable for Sunday night's Week 9 game against the Buccaneers after being limited in practice on Friday. Monangai, who has been dealing with toe and thumb injuries, did not practice on Wednesday or Thursday. He was ruled out of last Monday's game against the Seahawks, his fourth straight missed game.

Bills | Keon Coleman still in red non-contact jersey Friday Fri Nov 6, 02:40 PM
Bills WR Keon Coleman (shoulder) was still wearing the red non-contact jersey at practice on Friday. Coleman had also been in the non-contact jersey to start Thursday's practice.
| Footballguys view: Coleman's Week 9 projection is contingent on DJ Moore's availability. Moore is hoping to play after suffering a knee injury late in Week 8, but he's also practicing in a non-contact jersey. If Moore can't go, Coleman becomes a risky WR3. If Moore is active, Coleman is a desperation flex or WR5. However, Coleman has a shoulder injury of his own to overcome. We should have more information about his Monday Night outlook after Saturday's practice. |
Keon Coleman player page
Bills | DJ Moore still in red non-contact jersey Friday Fri Nov 6, 02:40 PM
Bills WR DJ Moore (knee) was still wearing the red non-contact jersey at practice on Friday. Moore was hurt late in last Sunday's win over the Ravens but said afterward he was 'OK'.
| Footballguys view: Moore, who had deservedly earned an Iron Man title over the last few seasons, has struggled with health in 2026. A shoulder injury knocked him out of Week 2. A reinjury kept him out for a while after. And now he's dealing with a knee issue. In the two full games he's played, he's racked up 182 yards and two scores. He's the clear WR1 in Buffalo. But fantasy managers will want to keep a close eye on his participation over the next two days to get a clearer idea of his Monday Night outlook. |
DJ Moore player page
Bills | Dalton Kincaid out of red non-contact jersey at Friday practice Fri Nov 6, 02:40 PM
Bills TE Dalton Kincaid (chest) was no longer wearing the red non-contact jersey at practice on Friday. Kincaid had been in the non-contact jersey to start Thursday's practice.
| Footballguys view: Kincaid is expected to be a full go this Monday against the Vikings. Kincaid saved his output last week with a garbage-time touchdown. He also had a couple of solid weeks to start the season. However, he's been too volatile to earn the "plug-and-play" tag, and this week's matchup against the Vikings is among the hardest for tight ends. Coupled with the injury, he's a back-end QB1. However, being tied to Josh Allen gives him a better chance of scoring than most. |
Dalton Kincaid player page
Bills | Khalil Shakir not practicing Friday for 'personal' reason Fri Nov 6, 02:27 PM
Bills WR Khalil Shakir was not practicing Friday for a personal reason, based on the media-open start of practice. Buffalo plays at the Vikings on Monday night in Week 9.
| Footballguys view: We'll keep a close eye on this, but it doesn't seem like Shakir is at risk of missing this week's game. He was excused for personal reasons. If we hear more, we'll update. |
Khalil Shakir player page
Rams | Colby Parkinson questionable for Sunday vs. Commanders Fri Nov 6, 02:24 PM
Rams TE Colby Parkinson will be questionable for Sunday's Week 9 game at the Commanders, head coach Sean McVay said on Friday. Parkinson was also questionable for last Sunday's game against the Chargers with a ribs injury.
| Footballguys view: If active, Parkinson can be streamed as a desperation option. However, Terrance Ferguson is expected to return this week, which could push Parkinson out of the game plan. Every Rams tight end has a chance to score any given week, especially against the Commanders' susceptible secondary. As far as streamers go, though, Parkinson is one of the riskiest this week. |
Colby Parkinson player page
Rams | Terrance Ferguson 'expected to play' Sunday vs. Commanders Fri Nov 6, 02:08 PM
Rams TE Terrance Ferguson is expected to play in Sunday's Week 9 game at the Commanders, head coach Sean McVay said on Friday, ESPN's Sarah Barshop reported. Ferguson has been on injured reserve with an ankle sprain, and the Rams opened his practice window on Wednesday.
| Footballguys view: Ferguson could immediately step into a big role with Davante Adam out. The Year 2 tight end drew a lot of preseason buzz and was heavily involved in the Week 2 game plan, where he caught nine passes and scored a touchdown. He got injured early in Week 3 and hasn't played since. There might be a bit of a ramp-up after an extended period out, but Ferguson is a great athlete with legitimate late-season upside. He's worth stashing in all leagues, and desperate managers can stream him as a boom-bust option this week against the Commanders. |
Terrance Ferguson player page
Saints | Jordyn Tyson questionable for Sunday vs. Browns Fri Nov 6, 02:03 PM
Saints rookie WR Jordyn Tyson (hamstring) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Browns. Tyson was designated to return from injured reserve on Wednesday and returned to practice that day, then was limited again on Thursday.
| Footballguys view: Tyson should be rostered in all leagues, but fantasy managers will want to keep him stashed on the bench this week, even if he is active. The expectation is that he'll eventually become the team's secondary weapon behind Chris Olave. The Saints drafted him eighth overall, an investment that signals they view him as a cornerstone of their roster. After missing most of camp and preseason, Tyson could get off the line slowly. But his late-season upside makes him one of the best players to put at the end of your bench. |
Jordyn Tyson player page
Browns | Harold Fannin Jr. will play Sunday, Monken says 'He'll be fine' Fri Nov 6, 01:21 PM
Browns TE Harold Fannin Jr. will play in Sunday's game against the Saints, head coach Todd Monken said on Friday. "He'll be fine. Just a little sore," Monken said. Fannin practiced on Friday after he was added to Thursday's injury report with a groin injury.
| Footballguys view: Fannin's mid-week downgrade looks like nothing to worry about. Fannin played very well alongside Shedeur Sanders last year and can be relied on as a mid-range TE1 this week against the Saints. |
Harold Fannin Jr. player page
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 Concepcepcion and Denzel Boston. Last year, in Kevin Stefanski's offense, he clearly preferred targeting tight ends, helping boost Harold Fannin 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. |
Shedeur Sanders player page
Patriots | Hunter Henry questionable for Week 9 against Packers Fri Nov 6, 01:13 PM
The Patriots have listed TE Hunter Henry (foot) as questionable for Sunday's Week 9 game against the Packers. Henry was present at Friday's practice after missing the Wednesday and Thursday sessions.
| Footballguys view: Henry hadn't practiced since exiting Week 7's game with a foot injury, so it was good to see him back out there on Friday. He'll be a touchdown threat given his red-zone usage, making him a high-end streamer if he clears the injury report. If he doesn't, rookie Eli Raridon becomes an interesting streaming option. Raridon only caught one pass last week, but he ran a route on 74% of Drake Maye's dropbacks and pulled four targets. With an afternoon kickoff, Raridon is the easiest pivot option for Henry managers. We'll hope for more information before the early games kick off, but Henry managers without a better option should pick up Raridon ASAP. |

Patriots | TreVeyon Henderson ruled out for Week 9 against Packers Fri Nov 6, 01:13 PM
The Patriots have ruled RB TreVeyon Henderson (illness) out for Sunday's Week 9 game against the Packers. Earlier Friday, Henderson revealed he had been hospitalized for 'unexplained neurological symptoms' and said testing had been 'reassuring.'
| Footballguys view: No surprise here after Henderson's public message earlier today regarding his neurological health issues. Henderson hopes to return soon and can sit on fantasy benches until then. |

Patriots | A.J. Brown ruled out for Week 9 against Packers Fri Nov 6, 01:13 PM
The Patriots have ruled WR A.J. Brown (knee) out for Sunday's Week 9 game against the Packers. Brown did not practice Wednesday or Thursday. He was also ruled out for last Sunday's game at the Dolphins.
| Footballguys view: Reports last week said Brown would likely miss multiple weeks, and he's now out for the second straight week. Brown will attempt to return to practice next week. But with a Week 11 bye, fantasy managers should brace for another week of inactivity and a Week 12 return, at best. |
A.J. Brown player page
Cardinals | Bam Knight ruled out for Sunday against Seattle Fri Nov 6, 01:01 PM
Cardinals RB Bam Knight (concussion) won't play Sunday against the Seahawks, head coach Mike LaFleur said on Friday. Knight did not participate in practice on Friday.
| Footballguys view: With Knight out and Jeremiyah Love on IR, Tyler Allgeier will get the start this week with limited backup work. Allgeier was fantasy's RB1 last week, posting huge numbers against a soft Dallas defense. This week's matchup against Seattle will be tougher. Allgeier is a volume-based RB2 in this matchup, and his production likely hinges on his ability to find pay dirt. |

Eagles | Saquon Barkley practicing Friday ahead of Giants game Fri Nov 6, 12:31 PM
Eagles RB Saquon Barkley was practicing on Friday, the team's last practice before Sunday's game against the Giants. Barkley, who has been dealing with hamstring and back issues, did not practice Wednesday before returning to practice Thursday.

Eagles | Goedert among Eagles vets 'perceived by other teams to be available' Fri Nov 6, 12:21 PM
Eagles TE Dallas Goedert is among the contract-year veterans other teams perceive to be available ahead of the trade deadline, Sports Illustrated reported. With Philadelphia on a six-game losing streak, WR Hollywood Brown, CB Riq Woolen, CB Michael Carter II and QB Tanner McKee are also in that group. DT Moro Ojomo, also in a contract year, is "a different story," as GM Howie Roseman has given other teams the impression he will try to sign him long term.
| Footballguys view: The Eagles are having a fire sale at the trade deadline in what looks like a lost season. Goedert has been a long-time Eagle, and his role as one of their few healthy pass catchers keeps him in the TE1 discussion. It's hard to imagine a trade that increases his fantasy value, but we'll update here if one happens. |
Dallas Goedert player page
Buccaneers | Emeka Egbuka questionable, 'more of a game time decision' for Sunday night Fri Nov 6, 12:19 PM
Buccaneers WR Emeka Egbuka (foot) is questionable for Sunday night's Week 9 game at Chicago and is "more of a game time decision," coach Todd Bowles said on Friday. Egbuka practiced on Friday and could play Sunday.
| Footballguys view: Egbuka's second season has been marred by injuries, and this foot injury has been another hurdle. Egbuka has missed each of the last two games Baker Mayfield has started, and Mayfield has been held to just seven completions over those two games. Egbuka flashed early in his rookie season, but his numbers since those first few weeks have been otherwise disappointing. He scored a receiving and a rushing touchdown while playing with Jalon Daniels, which helped pad his numbers a bit. But his 17-game pace of 680 receiving yards this season makes him more of a WR3 than the WR2 he was drafted to be. The Bears are big favorites on Sunday night, which could push them into a position where they'll have to pass. If Egbuka can go, he's a risky WR3. If he can't, expect rookie Ted Hurst III to see some extra work as the team's X receiver. |

Browns | Harold Fannin Jr. practicing Friday after being added to injury report with groin injury Fri Nov 6, 12:11 PM
Browns TE Harold Fannin Jr. is practicing on Friday after he was added to Thursday's injury report with a groin injury. Fannin was limited on Thursday. The Browns play at the Saints on Sunday.
| Footballguys view: Fannin is coming off a massive outing, catching 10 passes for 154 yards last week. Thursday's addition to the injury report was alarming, but it's good to see him back on the field Friday. We'll wait for more information regarding Fannin's status after practice. But assuming he's active, he can be started as a mid-tier TE1. |

Giants | Cam Skattebo in uniform but 'didn't seem to be doing anything' Friday Fri Nov 6, 12:04 PM
Giants RB Cam Skattebo (hamstring) was in uniform at practice on Friday but "didn't seem to be doing anything during the open period." Skattebo worked on the side with a trainer on Wednesday and Thursday. Head coach John Harbaugh called him "day-to-day" with the hamstring injury on Monday.
| Footballguys view: It sure seems like Skattebo isn't playing this week after suffering a hamstring injury in Week 7's overtime win. Skattebo iced the game with a big run but collapsed while opening up his stride in the open field. He missed back-to-back practices to start the week coming out of the bye, and doesn't look like he'll return at full capacity today. With Tyrone Tracy Jr. on IR, Devin Singletary is the last man standing. Singletary has been reliable in spot starts throughout his NFL career. The Giants will likely elevate Eric Gray before Sunday's game. But if Skattebo can't go, Singletary becomes a fun volume-based RB2 against the Eagles. |
