  Vikings | Jauan Jennings out Monday, Vikings may elevate Odell Beckham Jr.    Sat Nov 7, 02:11 PM

  Vikings | Jauan Jennings absent again, two DNPs would make him 'very unlikely' for Monday    Sat Nov 7, 01:01 PM

Vikings WR Jauan Jennings (calf) was not seen at practice on Saturday, after also not being seen at Friday's practice. Two straight sessions without practicing would make him "very unlikely" to play in Monday night's game against the Bills.

Footballguys view: Jennings has been the subject of trade rumors with teams like the Rams and Steelers in the wide receiver market. He's not playing in Week 9, but Jennings might still be dealt on or before Tuesday's trade deadline.

  Saints | Jordyn Tyson plans to make NFL debut Sunday, 'should be good to go'    Sat Nov 7, 12:51 PM

Saints rookie WR Jordyn Tyson plans to make his NFL debut on Sunday against the Browns. Tyson, the No. 8 overall pick, has yet to play this season because of a hamstring injury but "should be good to go" for New Orleans. He was listed as questionable for Sunday's game on Friday's injury report.

Footballguys view: Tyson gets to make his NFL debut in Week 9, and we're excited to see what the talented rookie can do. A top-10 pick, Tyson was one of the most dynamic receivers in this draft class. We could see a snap count for Tyson as the team eases him into action. We've got Tyson as a 'what the heck' flex in Week 9, but he could have plenty of flex appeal if/when near full strength and a full role as the no.2 receiver opposite Chris Olave.

  Bills | Khalil Shakir back at Saturday practice after missing Friday    Sat Nov 7, 12:39 PM

Bills WR Khalil Shakir was spotted at practice on Saturday after not practicing on Friday. Shakir missed Friday's session for a personal reason. The Bills visit the Vikings on Monday night.

Footballguys view: Shakir is good to go for Monday night's game against the Vikings. With this matchup, Shakir is in the WR4 range for Fantasy GMs in Week 9.

  Steelers | Steelers in WR market; Thomas Jr., Downs 'two key names', Ridley a backup option    Sat Nov 7, 12:33 PM

The Steelers are among the teams in the wide receiver market ahead of Tuesday's trade deadline, with Jaguars WR Brian Thomas Jr. and Colts WR Josh Downs the "two key names," ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reported. "I expect one or both to be moved," Fowler wrote, naming Kansas City, Pittsburgh and San Francisco among the teams in the market and adding that Titans WR Calvin Ridley "is considered a backup option for teams."

Footballguys view: A move for a wide receiver would make sense. The Steelers are trying to make one final run with Aaron Rodgers this year, and his pass-catchers could easily be upgraded from what he currently has. Pittsburgh has WRs Michael Pittman Jr. and Roman Wilson on injured reserve, and WR DK Metcalf ranks 22nd in the NFL in catches and 26th in receiving yards.

Cardinals WR Michael Wilson's broken ribs "weren't gonna keep him from practicing or playing," according to a Friday report ahead of Sunday's Week 9 game at the Seahawks.

  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.

  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.

  Deebo Samuel Sr. ruled out for Week 9 vs. Raiders    Fri Nov 6, 04:56 PM

49ers WR Deebo Samuel Sr. (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.

  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.

  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 will have more confidence playing him after the bye based on his performance and usage.

  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.

  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 midweek 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.

  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.

  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.

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.

  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 III 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.

  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.

  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.

  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.

  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.

  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 in 2024 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.

  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.

  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.

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.

  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.

  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.

  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 the Buccaneers 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.

  Buccaneers | Emeka Egbuka practicing Friday, 'could play Sunday'    Fri Nov 6, 11:42 AM

Buccaneers WR Emeka Egbuka (foot) was practicing on Friday and could play Sunday against the Bears. Egbuka did not practice during the open portion on Wednesday but returned on Thursday as a full participant.

Footballguys view: Full participation on Thursday likely means Egbuka will play on Sunday, especially if he practices on Friday. The Buccaneers play on Sunday night, which could make managers uneasy. But we'll likely get news after practice that Egbuka has cleared the injury report and will be active after missing last week's game.

  Jets | Garrett Wilson ruled out for Week 9 at Chiefs    Fri Nov 6, 10:41 AM

Jets WR Garrett Wilson has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Chiefs due to a concussion. Wilson missed practice again on Thursday.

Footballguys view: After a couple of quiet games, Wilson bounced back with 12 targets last week, but suffered a concussion during the matchup. The depth of this Jets offense leads to volatile performances from everyone involved. Adonai Mitchell, Omar Cooper Jr., Kenyon Sadiq, and Mason Taylor will all get projection bumps with Wilson out, but it's unlikely that all four can pay off in a single game. In a tough road matchup against the Chiefs, those four pass catchers all become boom-or-bust flex options.

  Falcons | Zachariah Branch out for Week 9 against the Bengals    Fri Nov 6, 08:19 AM

Falcons WR Zachariah Branch (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's Week 9 game against the Bengals, Marc Raimondi reported on Friday. Head coach Kevin Stefanski had said on Monday that Branch would be out this week.

Footballguys view: Branch also missed most of last week's game against the Buccaneers, in which Jahan Dotson took on a larger role and recorded the Falcons' biggest reception of the day. Expect the offense to concentrate on Bijan Robinson, Drake London, and Kyle Pitts Sr., as it normally does. But for fantasy managers desperate for a flex play, Dotson always has the chance to break off a big play while Branch is out.

  Vikings | Justin Jefferson says frustration in loss to Lions came from 'wanting to win'    Fri Nov 6, 12:23 AM

Vikings WR Justin Jefferson said his obvious frustration during last Sunday's 19-15 loss to the Lions came from "wanting to win." Jefferson engaged in a rare display of frustration late in the game.

Footballguys view: Jefferson has been a consummate professional throughout his NFL career, but left last week's game without any postgame comments to the media for just the second time in his career. Given the loss and the lackluster offense, it's understandable. With Carson Wentz starting this week, Jefferson might get a target share that makes him a bit happier.

  49ers | George Kittle skeptical Brandon Aiyuk will 'get in' team facility Friday    Fri Nov 6, 12:04 AM

49ers TE George Kittle is skeptical that WR Brandon Aiyuk will "get in" the team facility on Friday. Aiyuk is attempting to lay the foundation for a return to the NFL, and Kittle is at least one 49ers player who has expressed skepticism about Aiyuk's plan.

Footballguys view: No one really knows what to expect in this situation, but Aiyuk has made the smart move of hiring Drew Rosenhaus as his agent. Aiyuk is over two years removed from NFL action, and didn't look like his peak self in the last taste of action we saw. His likelihood of being relevant this year is extremely thin, but desperate managers in deep leagues can stash him to see how this plays out.

Commanders WR Treylon Burks (foot) did not participate in practice on Thursday, his second straight missed session. The beat writer said he would "still guess he plays Sunday" against the Rams, adding that more will be known on Friday.

Footballguys view: The foot injury had Burks in and out of practice a week ago. Burks caught 3-of-5 targets for 81 yards in the Commanders' Week 8 win over the Eagles. Expect him to be out there in Week 9 against the Rams. We like Burks in the deep flex range for Fantasy GMs in PPR formats.
