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.

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.

Jets | Aaron Glenn says 'both guys will play' if Hall and Allen are available Wed Nov 4, 12:09 PM
Jets head coach Aaron Glenn said on Wednesday that "both guys will play" when asked about the workload for RBs Braelon Allen and Breece Hall if both are available. Hall, who has a quadriceps injury, sat out Sunday's loss to the Raiders, while Allen ran for 147 yards and a touchdown in that game.
| Footballguys view: Allen has been fantastic as the lead back for the Jets. With Hall out, Allen was able to strut his stuff - and he looked good as a bellcow back. Now, the team is going to use both and that could frustrate Fantasy GMs. Allen is more of an RB2/flex, and we view Hall as an RB3/flex in Week 9. |

Jets | Breece Hall limited in Wednesday practice Wed Nov 4, 12:07 PM
Jets RB Breece Hall was a limited participant in practice on Wednesday. Hall sat out Sunday's game against the Raiders.
| Footballguys view: Hall was limited last week, but he missed the game against the Raiders. He's in line to return to the field this week, but it would be nice to see him get a full designation by Friday at the latest. With the way that Braelon Allen is playing, the Jets should use plenty of both backs going forward. Allen is more of an RB2/flex, while we view Hall as an RB3/flex if he does play in Week 9. |

Jaguars | Bhayshul Tuten a 'game-time decision' Thursday, Rodriguez would see larger role Wed Nov 4, 11:34 AM
Jaguars RB Bhayshul Tuten (ankle, foot) will be a game-time decision for Thursday's game at the Ravens, head coach Liam Coen said on Wednesday.
| Footballguys view: Coen said Tuten told him he feels better, but Tuten has three 'DNP's' in practice this week. RB Chris Rodriguez would have a larger role if Tuten is out. We view Rodriguez as a flex play with upside if Tuten can't play on Thursday Night Football. |

Jaguars RB Bhayshul Tuten (ankle, foot) could be a game-time decision for Thursday night's game at the Ravens, head coach Liam Coen said on Wednesday. Tuten was estimated as a non-participant on Monday and was the only player not spotted at Tuesday's practice.
| Footballguys view: Fantasy GMs need to make other plans here. An option for you could be Chris Rodriguez, and without Tuten on the field, he could get a sizable workload. If Tuten can't play, we view Rodriguez as a flex play with upside. |

Giants | Giants claim attempt on RB Henry adds to Skattebo hamstring 'alarms' Wed Nov 4, 08:30 AM
The Giants were the only other team to put in a waiver claim for undrafted rookie RB Robert Henry Jr., who landed with the Commanders, Ben Standig reported. The beat writer called it an interesting note given Giants RB Cam Skattebo's hamstring injury, saying Skattebo working on the side with a hamstring after the bye week "raises some alarms, especially since he dealt with a hamstring throughout last offseason." It is not clear whether it is the same leg. Skattebo's practice work on Wednesday was still to be seen.
| Footballguys view: The Giants had a bye in Week 8, and Skattebo is no guarantee to be available in Week 9 against the Eagles. Giants HC John Harbaugh said Skattebo remains day-to-day. We'll have to see what his practice status looks like on Friday at the latest, but Skattebo is not trending in the right direction. |

Falcons RB Brian Robinson was going through stretches at the Real Madrid grounds on Wednesday. Robinson missed last Sunday's Week 8 game against the Buccaneers with a hamstring injury after sitting out practice Thursday and Friday. The Falcons face the Bengals in Week 9.
| Footballguys view: Robinson has missed the last two games with this hamstring injury. He's getting closer to a return, but the team could rely on Khalil Herbert again as a backup to Bijan Robinson. |

Saints claim Audric Estimé, a possible 'telling sign' on Travis Etienne Jr.'s return Tue Nov 3, 04:15 PM
The Saints claimed RB Audric Estimé off waivers from the Browns on Tuesday, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported. Estimé was released by New Orleans in September.
| Footballguys view: The claim "might be a telling sign" for RB Travis Etienne Jr., who is eligible to return from injured reserve (hamstring), because activating him would bring the Saints up to five running backs on the 53-man roster. We'll continue to watch for more. |

Cardinals | Bam Knight in concussion protocol, status in doubt Tue Nov 3, 04:01 PM
Cardinals RB Bam Knight is in the concussion protocol, leaving his status in doubt.
| Footballguys view: RB Evan Hull is on the roster and will be active, and the Cardinals can elevate RB Jerome Ford from the practice squad if needed. But Tyler Allgeier's path to workload is clear. His matchup against the Seahawks is tough on paper, but D'Andre Swift ran for three touchdowns in Seattle on Monday Night Football. |

Lions | Sione Vaki emerges as change-of-pace back, 'gained a lot of trust' per Dan Campbell Tue Nov 3, 03:24 PM
Lions RB Sione Vaki had career highs of 11 carries and 65 yards in Sunday's win over the Vikings, spelling RB Jahmyr Gibbs, who ran 23 times for 153 yards.
| Footballguys view: Gibbs leads the NFL with 191 touches through seven games. "He was going to need to get some carries for us, some significant carries. They needed to be real yards, and he was going to need to be able to pass protect for us," head coach Dan Campbell said of Vaki. Don't expect the Lions to lighten Gibbs' workload noticeably, but having a viable alternative is helpful. |

Jeremiyah Love headed to IR with high ankle sprain, Allgeier takes over as lead back Tue Nov 3, 01:56 PM
Cardinals RB Jeremiyah Love is headed to injured reserve with a right high ankle sprain, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported.
| Footballguys view: The move will sideline the rookie for a minimum of four games, with the Seahawks, Rams, Chiefs, and Commanders next on the schedule. Love's ankle got rolled underneath him in Sunday's 33-30 overtime win over the Cowboys, and he did not return; it is the third ankle injury of his rookie season. RB Tyler Allgeier, who ran for 147 yards and a touchdown on 11 carries and caught five passes for 44 yards and another score against Dallas, takes over as the lead back, although Bam Knight will also be a factor once he's cleared from the concussion protocol. |

Jaguars | Bhayshul Tuten only player not spotted at Tuesday's practice Tue Nov 3, 01:08 PM
Jaguars RB Bhayshul Tuten (foot) was the only player not spotted during the open media portion of practice on Tuesday. Tuten was estimated as a non-participant on Monday's practice report. Jacksonville plays at Baltimore on Thursday.
| Footballguys view: The short week doesn't do Tuten any favors, as the timeline is condensed with the Thursday night kickoff. That said, the Jaguars could just be giving him a break because of that -- especially after he handled a heavy workload in Week 8. If Tuten were to miss the contest, Chris Rodriguez Jr. becomes the primary back. We'll be following up on this one as developments warrant. |

Teams interested in Tony Pollard, but Titans not engaging yet Tue Nov 3, 10:09 AM
Teams are interested in Titans RB Tony Pollard, but Tennessee isn't engaging (yet). The Titans had consistently told teams that DT Jeffery Simmons would not be traded before deciding last Tuesday to listen to offers for him.
| Footballguys view: Whether their stance will change remains to be seen. Regardless, Pollard is an attractive option for any contender looking for help at the position. His contract is very affordable, relative to the veteran market, and he continues to produce at a torrid pace. How hot has it been? Pollard is the RB1 overall in fantasy over the last three games. |

Bears | Swift runs for 69 yards, three TDs in win over Seahawks Tue Nov 3, 12:01 AM
Chicago Bears RB D'Andre Swift ran 27 times for 69 yards and three touchdowns and also caught 2 passes for 10 yards on 3 targets in Monday's 34-17 win over the Seattle Seahawks. He was projected for 15.4 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 26.9.
| Footballguys view: The three touchdowns boost Swift's league-leading total to 10 (Buffalo's Josh Allen has nine). Swift is the first Bears player with 10 rushing TDs in a season since Raymont Harris had 10 in 1997. He is the first Bears player with 10 in the Bears' first eight games since Rick Casares had 11 in 1956. |

Giants | Harbaugh says Giants 'open for any calls' at deadline; Taylor biggest name linked Mon Nov 2, 07:47 PM
Giants head coach John Harbaugh said Monday the team is "open for any calls" and looking to be aggressive ahead of the trade deadline. Colts RB Jonathan Taylor is the biggest name connected to the Giants, while Ravens QB Lamar Jackson's season-ending injury has raised the question of whether Ravens RB Derrick Henry could become available. Both Taylor and Henry are under contract beyond this season, and Harbaugh said a move "wouldn't want to be a one-and-done kind of thing. You want to have a short-term and a long-term win if you're going to do it with draft capital." The Giants also figure to be in the market for defensive tackles, edge rushers and receivers.

Cardinals | Jeremiyah Love apparently has 'new' ankle injury, per Mike LaFleur Mon Nov 2, 04:49 PM
Cardinals rookie RB Jeremiyah Love apparently has a "new" ankle injury, head coach Mike LaFleur said on Monday.
| Footballguys view: Love was ruled out of Sunday's win over the Cowboys with an ankle injury after nine carries for 23 yards. RB Tyler Allgeier rushed for 147 yards in Sunday's game, and with RB Zonovan Knight in the concussion protocol, the Cardinals' backfield depth is thin, which makes a trade of Allgeier less appealing for Arizona. It might also make him a viable fantasy option in a tough matchup against the Seahawks in Week 9. |

Seahawks | Rookie Jadarian Price activated, Charbonnet to debut Monday vs. Bears Mon Nov 2, 04:05 PM
The Seahawks activated rookie RB Jadarian Price from injured reserve ahead of Monday night's game against the Bears.
| Footballguys view: Of course, Price's return further complicates an already-complicated backfield. Seattle also gets back RB Zach Charbonnet, who will make his 2026 season debut Monday night. You're likely taking your chances if you rely on either, but it's safe to assume those doing so aren't doing it by choice. |

Commanders | Jacory Croskey-Merritt to stay on IR for at least two more games Mon Nov 2, 03:21 PM
Commanders RB Jacory Croskey-Merritt (groin) will remain on injured reserve for at least two more games, head coach Dan Quinn said on Monday.
| Footballguys view: Croskey-Merritt was placed on injured reserve after re-injuring his groin in mid-October. We'll continue to watch for more, but for now Rachaad White and Austin Ekeler are the healthy backs on the roster. Jeremy McNichols, who started against the Eagles Sunday night, suffered a foot injury that is believed to be serious. |

Commanders RB Jeremy McNichols has a "mid foot" injury, and head coach Dan Quinn said on Monday that he's concerned it's serious.
| Footballguys view: Quinn said the team will consider bringing in some running back help if that proves to be true. As things stand now, Rachaad White, who delivered an RB16 (through Sunday night) performance, and Austin Ekeler are the healthy backs on the roster. Jacory Croskey-Merritt is on injured reserve. The Commanders play the Rams on Sunday. |

Giants | Cam Skattebo works on the side with trainer in first post-bye practice Mon Nov 2, 02:54 PM
Giants RB Cam Skattebo, who injured his hamstring on his long overtime run against the Texans in Week 7, worked on the side with a trainer in the team's first practice after the bye on Monday.
| Footballguys view: Giants head coach John Harbaugh described RB Cam Skattebo as "day-to-day" on Monday. Skattebo ran 17 times for 124 yards and a touchdown and also caught 1 pass for -3 yards before suffering the injury in overtime in Houston. With RB Tyrone Tracy Jr. on IR, Devin Singletary is the only healthy back on the roster, although RB Eric Gray is back with the team and practicing today. The Giants are also rumored to be interested in trading for Colts RB Jonathan Taylor. Stay tuned. There will undoubtedly be more to come this week. |

Packers | LaFleur 'would anticipate' Josh Jacobs remaining with Packers amid NFL process Mon Nov 2, 02:27 PM
Packers HC Matt LaFleur addressed RB Josh Jacobs on Monday after case files involving Jacobs were released on Friday. "We're aware of the prior allegations on Josh. We're going to allow the NFL to do its process," LaFleur said. "But I would anticipate him being a member of us moving forward."
| Footballguys view: The NFL's investigation into Jacobs remains open and active and is now looking into the most recent allegations, as well as seeking additional information and evidence. We're all flying blind on this one, but if you're currently rostering and planning to play Jacobs, you'll need to monitor developments before making lineup decisions each week. |

Saints | Saints weighing whether to open Travis Etienne Jr.'s return window Mon Nov 2, 12:37 PM
Saints head coach Kellen Moore said on Monday that the team is still deciding whether to designate RB Travis Etienne Jr. for return from injured reserve this week.
| Footballguys view: Etienne has been out since Week 3 with a hamstring injury. If his practice window opens, the Saints will have 21 days to activate him. Until Etienne returns, Alvin Kamara, Kendre Miller, and CJ Donaldson will split the workload, with Kamara the most viable fantasy option. Worth noting, the Saints fired run game coordinator T. J. Paganetti. Run-game issues have plagued the team this year. So even if Etienne returns, we should keep our expectations in check. |

Texans | DeMeco Ryans: 'no significant update' on David Montgomery Mon Nov 2, 11:17 AM
Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans said on Monday there is no significant update on RB David Montgomery (groin). Ryans said the team will see how he progresses throughout the week. Montgomery was ruled out of the Week 7 game against the Giants with the groin injury.
| Footballguys view: Montgomery suffered the injury during Week 5 against the Titans. He has missed the last two games while the Texans were on a Week 8 bye. Montgomery's availability this week will depend on his participation in practice later in the week. Remember, while Montgomery has been sidelined, running back Woody Marks has handled the primary workload in Houston's backfield. |

Jets | Breece Hall 'ready to return' after sitting out Sunday; RB won't be traded Mon Nov 2, 10:21 AM
Jets RB Breece Hall is now ready to return to the field after the Jets played without him on Sunday. New York lost to the Raiders 38-33 in Hall's absence.
| Footballguys view: In addition, Hall will not be traded at the deadline, head coach Aaron Glenn said on Monday. "Breece is still a part of this team," Glenn said. "I've said it before: We're in the business of keeping good players, and he's one of our better players, so he'll be here." Braelon Allen has run for 357 yards and one touchdown in Hall's absence over the past four weeks, leading some fans to wonder whether New York trading Hall is a possibility. The next question is whether we will see more of a shared workload going forward. Stay tuned. |

Broncos | Jonah Coleman plays 41 snaps to J.K. Dobbins' 13 vs. Chiefs Mon Nov 2, 08:50 AM
Broncos rookie RB Jonah Coleman played 41 offensive snaps in Sunday's win over the Chiefs. RB J.K. Dobbins played 13 snaps.
| Footballguys view: Coleman out carried Dobbins 11 to 7, and the rookie ran 16 routes to Dobbins' 2. Coleman had a 17% target share. As Pro Football Focus' Nathan Jahnke noted, Coleman was already the top waiver-wire pickup last week, but he's a must-add in leagues where he's available. There has been talk of Denver considering trading for a running back. Still, the team might reconsider based on Coleman's 100-yard performance, including a 51-yard gain after catching a short pass from Bo Nix to set up Denver's go-ahead touchdown. The Broncos play the Panthers in Week 9. |

Raiders | Mike Washington Jr. out-snaps Ashton Jeanty 38-25 in win over Jets Mon Nov 2, 07:31 AM
Raiders rookie RB Mike Washington Jr. played 38 offensive snaps to RB Ashton Jeanty's 25 in Sunday's 38-33 win over the Jets, roughly a 60-40 split in Washington's favor. Head coach Klint Kubiak said after the game that Jeanty's limited carries were "my call" and that Jeanty remains "a big part of our team."
| Footballguys view: As ESPN.com's Tristan Cockcroft suggested, the reasons for Jeanty's in-game benching are unclear, but Washington's usage -- both this week and in earlier games -- signals his importance as an insurance policy. That said, it seems likely that Jeanty will resume his starter's role in Week 9 against the 49ers. Cockcroft pointed to Washington's 3.3-yard-per-carry average -- and the fact that he was stuffed at the line six times -- while Jeanty provided the Raiders some utility in the receiving game (three catches, 64 yards). All that said, this is a situation we'll watch closely. |

Dolphins | Hafley needs to teach Ollie Gordon II 'how he has to react' after penalty Sun Nov 1, 08:03 PM
Dolphins head coach Jeff Hafley said on Sunday that he wants to keep his conversation with RB Ollie Gordon II private after Gordon's unsportsmanlike penalty against the Patriots but added: "Ollie's a young player who has a lot of fire and energy to him. I need to do a good job of teaching him how he has to react in situations."
| Footballguys view: Gordon, who carried the ball 19 times for 69 yards, drew the costly penalty for trash-talking Patriots linebacker Robert Spillane. QB Malik Willis said of his sideline interaction with Gordon after the penalty: "Ollie is a competitor and cares about the game a lot, but I had to tell him that he's dead a** wrong." Remember: Hafley pulled Gordon out of a preseason game against the Commanders after he drew an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty. We'll be watching for any fallout when the Dolphins begin preparing to play the Lions in Week 9. |
