Browns | David Njoku could be on trade block Wed Oct 29, 03:10 PM
Cleveland Browns TE David Njoku might be a potential trade option heading into the NFL trade deadline, especially with the emergence of rookie TE Harold Fannin Jr. Njoku played in Week 8 against the New England Patriots, after missing the previous game with a knee ailment. He played just 32 offensive snaps, to 40 for Fannin.
| Footballguys view: There are plenty of teams who would be interested in Njoku. The trade deadline is next Thursday, and contenders could look to Njoku as a key piece for a postseason run. He's set to be an unrestricted free agent in 2026, so Njoku might just be a rental for 2025 ...but a very valuable one. |

Panthers | Chuba Hubbard likely for backup role? Wed Oct 29, 03:10 PM
Carolina Panthers RB Chuba Hubbard has rotated with RB Rico Dowdle in two games since returning from a calf injury. Head coach Dave Canales appears ready to abandon the rotation in favor of Dowdle. 'Chuba has meant a lot to this organization and certainly to the identity of what we want to build and we wanted to give him the opportunity to go out there and to continue to impact our team in a positive way,' Canales said Tuesday, Oct. 28. 'But we cannot ignore the fact Rico has been exceptional.'
| Footballguys view: Hubbard is not as explosive as Dowdle is, and the team has to recognize that. We still see Hubbard having flex appeal for the Panthers if/when Dowdle takes over in the backfield. |

Falcons | Michael Penix Jr. to take bulk of reps Wed Oct 29, 02:50 PM
Atlanta Falcons QB Michael Penix Jr. (knee) is expected to receive the bulk of the repetitions in practice this week, according to head coach Raheem Morris.
| Footballguys view: Kirk Cousins is not someone the Falcons can count on anymore. Penix needs to get healthy and get out there asap...and then OC Zac Robinson needs to put together a better (and less predictable) offense. Let's see how much Penix can do in practice this week as the Falcons prepare for Sunday's game against the Patriots. |
Dolphins | Cedrick Wilson Jr. sees role grow Wed Oct 29, 02:50 PM
Miami Dolphins WR Cedrick Wilson Jr. played 22 snaps in Week 8 against the Atlanta Falcons, as offensive coordinator Frank Smith said the team likes his 'intensity' and 'toughness'. While that's good, his role in the offense remains a bit limited.
| Footballguys view: Let's just put a pin in this to see if Wilson can get more work. The Dolphins may trade away WR Jaylen Waddle, so that would open up the door for others like Wilson in the passing game. |

Dolphins | Eye improving for Tua Tagovailoa Wed Oct 29, 02:50 PM
Miami Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa (eye) has seen his eye issue improve, but he plans to stick with his visor heading into the Week 9 game against the Baltimore Ravens on Thursday, Oct. 30.
| Footballguys view: Whatever works, right? Tagovailoa completed 20-of-26 passes for 205 yards and four touchdowns in the Dolphins' 34-10, Week 8 win over the Falcons. Tagovailoa is trying to build momentum off that game, and he's keeping the visor on. Let's see if that really helps him see things better against a Ravens team looking to make a run. |

Panthers | Full practice for Bryce Young Wed Oct 29, 02:40 PM
Updating a previous report, Carolina Panthers QB Bryce Young (ankle) fully participated in practice Wednesday, Oct. 29.
| Footballguys view: Young is considered day-to-day with this ankle injury. A full participation on Wednesday is a good sign for his return in Week 9. Andy Dalton started last week and was not great, so Young's return will be welcomed by the Panthers. Let's make sure Young doesn't have any setbacks in practice this week. |

Packers | Dontayvion Wicks remains sidelined Wed Oct 29, 02:15 PM
Green Bay Packers WR Dontayvion Wicks (calf) is not participating in practice Wednesday, Oct. 29.
| Footballguys view: Wicks didn't play in Week 8 against the Steelers. The Packers got Christian Watson back out there in Week 8, so they're not in any hurry to get Wicks out there. |

Vikings | J.J. McCarthy will start in Week 9 Wed Oct 29, 02:06 PM
Minnesota Vikings QB J.J. McCarthy (ankle) has cleared every hurdle, according to head coach Kevin O'Connell. He will start for the team against the Detroit Lions in Week 9.
| Footballguys view: O'Connell wanted McCarthy to be at full strength for his return. McCarthy, a first-round pick in 2024, has failed to impress in limited playing time. He's a work in progress who gets to throw to Justin Jefferson. In his first game back, we can only recommend McCarthy as a QB2. |

Panthers | Rico Dowdle in line for larger role Wed Oct 29, 12:05 PM
Carolina Panthers RB Rico Dowdle appears to be in line for a bulk of the carries, and head coach Dave Canales indicated that the two-week rotation with RB Chuba Hubbard could be abandoned. 'We love tempo and violence that he is running with,' Canales said Tuesday, Oct. 28. 'These are things we are looking back on the last four games and really taking a snapshot of what has been successful for us.'
| Footballguys view: Dowdle is producing more than Chuba Hubbard, and the Panthers are moving to adjust their plan. That means Dowdle could be in line for more work, and Hubbard will serve more as a reserve. Keeping that in mind, Fantasy GMs should consider Dowdle an RB2/flex option and Hubbard as a RB3/deep flex play. |

Raiders | Aidan O'Connell's practice window opens Wed Oct 29, 12:04 PM
Las Vegas Raiders QB Aidan O'Connell's (wrist) 21-day practice window opened Wednesday, Oct. 29, as he was designated to return from the Reserve/Injured list.
| Footballguys view: With the struggles of the offense under Geno Smith, there's a chance we could see O'Connell later this year. Keep this in mind when playing in deeper start-2QB/superflex leagues. |
Lions | Aidan Hutchinson breaks the bank Wed Oct 29, 11:26 AM
Detroit Lions DE Aidan Hutchinson agreed to a four-year, $180 million extension Wednesday, Oct. 29. The deal guarantees him $141 million and pays $45 milion annually.
| Footballguys view: This is the highest non-QB guarantees in league history. Hutchinson is now signed with the Lions through 2030, and they're glad to get the contract done. He's arguably the best pass-rusher in the league and a leader for the Lions defense. |

Bengals | Joe Flacco in question Wed Oct 29, 10:19 AM
Cincinnati Bengals QB Joe Flacco (shoulder) is up in the air for Week 9 with a sprained right AC joint, according to head coach Zac Taylor.
| Footballguys view: Flacco was banged up in Week 8, left briefly during the game, but he came back to finish the contest. He's a seasoned veteran, so Flacco does not have to get every practice rep this week. Let's see what he can do on Friday at the latest. |

Giants | Cam Skattebo update Wed Oct 29, 10:16 AM
Updating previous reports, New York Giants RB Cam Skattebo (ankle) suffered a dislocated ankle, fibula fracture and deltoid ligament rupture.
| Footballguys view: He faces a four-to-six-month recovery window, which means he should be ready for OTAs. The Giants should ease Skattebo back into action when he's ready next offseason. The question is; who will be coaching this team then? The fan-favorite power back may have to impress a whole new Giants staff in 2026. |
