Commanders | Daniels throws for 199 yards in loss to Giants Sun Oct 11, 04:51 PM
Washington Commanders QB Jayden Daniels completed 17 of 25 passes for 199 yards and added 9 times for 103 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 27-27 loss to the New York Giants. He was projected for 18.2 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 30.3.

Giants | Nabers catches 11 passes for 121 yards, a touchdown in loss to Commanders Sun Oct 11, 04:51 PM
New York Giants WR Malik Nabers caught 11 passes for 121 yards and a touchdown on 20 targets in Sunday's 27-27 loss to the Washington Commanders. He was projected for 12.1 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 23.6.
| Footballguys view: Nabers hadn't put up much in the box score until Jameis Winston authored a pair of long touchdown drives to erase a 14-point deficit in the fourth quarter. He was a big part of that effort and could have an even bigger target share next week against the Saints if Isaiah Likely is hurt after he limped off of the field late in this game. As long as Winston isn't benched for JJ McCarthy, Nabers is back on track to have a big season with Winston's freewheeling style at the center of the offense. |

Texans | Texans trade for Marvin Harrison Jr., deal centers on 2027 second-round pick Sun Oct 11, 04:32 PM
The Texans have acquired WR Marvin Harrison Jr. from the Cardinals, with Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans addressing the trade on Sunday. Per sources, the deal involves a 2027 second-round pick and a 2027 sixth-round pick, with the Cardinals getting a 2027 seventh-round pick. Harrison is a third-year player and a former No. 4 overall pick.
| Footballguys view: The Texans are clearly retrenching their offense around CJ Stroud. They have made two trades to replace up and coming 2025 second round pick Jayden Higgins, who went down with an ACL injury before the season. Harrison should be used as a "sacrificial X receiver" to hopefully allow Nico Collins to move around the formation and move the Texans pass offense into the 21st century. Kendrick Bourne will replace Harrison in the Cardinals lineup, but he is only worth a look in deep PPR leagues. Harrison still isn't worth carrying in typical redraft leagues, but he does bolster Stroud's value. The Cardinals have to be happy with the return they got on yet another failed high first round pick, but there has to be a change to break that pattern if this team is going to get out of the NFC West cellar. |

Jets | Wilson catches 7 passes for 104 yards, a touchdown in win over Browns Sun Oct 11, 04:16 PM
New York Jets WR Garrett Wilson caught 7 passes for 104 yards and a touchdown on 11 targets in Sunday's 17-12 win over the Cleveland Browns. He was projected for 14.0 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 19.9.
| Footballguys view: Wilson had three catches for 70 yards and a score on the first drive of the game, but was quiet from there on out. Adonai Mitchell should be back soon from his finger injury to take some of Wilson's target share away, but that could also draw coverage in the deep passing game. Wilson is a solid WR2 play next week against a banged up Patriots secondary whether or not Mitchell is back in the lineup. |

Jets | Allen runs for 116 yards, one TD in win over Browns Sun Oct 11, 04:16 PM
New York Jets RB Braelon Allen ran 24 times for 116 yards and a touchdown and also caught 1 pass for 0 yards on 4 targets in Sunday's 17-12 win over the Cleveland Browns. He was projected for 14.1 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 18.1.
| Footballguys view: The Jets stuck with Allen as a clear lead back and he rewarded them with the game-winning touchdown. Breece Hall should be back in the next few weeks, but Allen's performance will allow them to not rush Hall back from his quad injury. We'll watch Hall's practice status heading into a matchup at New England, but expect Allen to start and be a suitable RB2/Flex for fantasy teams in Week 6. |

Browns | Fannin held to 1 catch for 4 yards in loss to Jets Sun Oct 11, 04:16 PM
Cleveland Browns TE Harold Fannin caught 1 pass for 4 yards on 4 targets in Sunday's 17-12 loss to the New York Jets. He was projected for 8.7 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 0.9.
| Footballguys view: Fannin was emerging as Deshaun Watson's favorite red zone target with three touchdowns in Weeks 2-3, but he was a dud on a rainy day in New Jersey. He's still worth carrying in fantasy leagues, but the nature of playing with Watson in this low wattage offense will keep his floor low and ceiling touchdown-dependent heading into a matchup with the Ravens. |

Bengals | Higgins held to 2 catches for 22 yards in win over Dolphins Sun Oct 11, 04:16 PM
Cincinnati Bengals WR Tee Higgins caught 2 passes for 22 yards on 4 targets in Sunday's 31-24 win over the Miami Dolphins. He was projected for 11.2 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 3.2.
| Footballguys view: Higgins was not a sure thing to play after leaving Week 4's game with an adductor injury. He rallied to be active for this game even though the Bengals bye is next week. It won't be much solace if you played Higgins this week, but he should be close to healthy again after the bye and safe to put in lineups as an upside WR3/Flex, which is still not quite the WR2 you were expecting when you took him in the 3rd or early 4th round of fantasy drafts. |

Bengals | Burrow throws for 190 yards, four touchdowns in win over Dolphins Sun Oct 11, 04:16 PM
Cincinnati Bengals QB Joe Burrow completed 23 of 32 passes for 190 yards with 4 touchdowns in Sunday's 31-24 win over the Miami Dolphins. He was projected for 19.2 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 24.6.
| Footballguys view: Burrow had a big afternoon in fantasy leagues even though Tee Higgins was a nonfactor and Ja'Marr Chase only had one big play and that ball bounced off of his body before he corraled it for a long score. The Dolphins pass defense continues to be one we will pick on when we set fantasy lineups as both of these teams go into their bye. |

Bengals | Perine runs for 68 yards, one TD in win over Dolphins Sun Oct 11, 04:16 PM
Cincinnati Bengals RB Samaje Perine ran 14 times for 68 yards and also caught 2 passes for 10 yards and a touchdown on 2 targets in Sunday's 31-24 win over the Miami Dolphins. He was projected for 4.0 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 14.8.

Bengals | Brown held to 39 yards on 13 carries in win over Dolphins, yields work to Perine in fourth quarter Sun Oct 11, 04:16 PM
Cincinnati Bengals RB Chase Brown ran 13 times for 39 yards, also caught 3 passes for 21 yards on 4 targets and lost 1 fumble in Sunday's 31-24 win over the Miami Dolphins. He was projected for 15.9 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 5.5. Samaje Perine had 14 carries for 68 yards and caught both of his targets for 10 receiving yards. Perine was the primary back on a fourth quarter drive with the Bengals up 28-18.
| Footballguys view: Samaje Perine outplayed Brown and got a lot more work down the stretch in this game. We'll be watching the coaching staff comments closely, although we don't expect Perine to force a committee on this result alone going into a bye. It's tough to carry Perine through the bye in short bench leagues, but the quality of this offense makes him worth an add and carrying through the week off in longer bench leagues. |

Steelers | Freiermuth catches 5 passes for 44 yards, two touchdowns in win over Colts Sun Oct 11, 04:10 PM
Pittsburgh Steelers TE Pat Freiermuth ran 1 time for 1 yards and also caught 5 passes for 44 yards and two touchdowns on 7 targets in Sunday's 34-22 win over the Indianapolis Colts. He was projected for 6.4 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 19.0.
| Footballguys view: Freiermuth scored twice with the Steelers wide receiver group missing the #2 and #3 options for most of this game. He'll be an add on the waiver wire for any teams that need a streaming TE1 to cover Sam LaPorta's bye or teams that haven't found a consistent tight end option for their lineup yet. |

Steelers | Warren runs for 101 yards, two TDs, 87 receiving in win over Colts Sun Oct 11, 04:10 PM
Pittsburgh Steelers RB Jaylen Warren ran 15 times for 101 yards and a touchdown and also caught 6 passes for 87 yards and a touchdown on 6 targets in Sunday's 34-22 win over the Indianapolis Colts. He was projected for 16.2 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 33.8.
| Footballguys view: Warren is on track to be a league winner as an elite fantasy running back who fell to the mid-rounds because he started the season in a committee with Rico Dowdle, who has missed the last three games because of a toe injury. Warren will have a tough matchup against the stout Bucs run defense next week, but we'll have him ranked as a fantasy RB1 even if Dowdle is ready to return. |
Jaylen Warren player page
Colts | Warren catches 7 passes for 83 yards in loss to Steelers Sun Oct 11, 04:10 PM
Indianapolis Colts TE Tyler Warren ran 1 time for 1 yards and a touchdown and also caught 7 passes for 83 yards on 9 targets in Sunday's 34-22 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. He was projected for 9.1 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 17.9.
| Footballguys view: Warren was clearly the #1 target for Daniel Jones in this game, and the team turned to him as a goal line ballcarrier on a tough afternoon for Jonathan Taylor. He is being used more as a downfield receiver and should be moving up the fantasy tight end ranks ahead of a matchup with the bottom-dwelling Titans. |
Tyler Warren player page
Steelers | Bernard catches 6 passes for 80 yards in win over Colts Sun Oct 11, 04:10 PM
Pittsburgh Steelers WR Germie Bernard ran 1 time for 4 yards and also caught 6 passes for 80 yards on 9 targets in Sunday's 34-22 win over the Indianapolis Colts. He was projected for 2.7 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 11.4.
| Footballguys view: Bernard gained Aaron Rodgers confidence during the week leading up to this game with his mastery of the details of the offense, and he showed that he can be a load-bearing part of this passing game with Michael Pittman (foot) on injured reserve and Roman Wilson leaving this contest with a finger injury. Bernard is worth a pickup, especially in PPR leagues, but his ceiling is relatively low so don't spend too much on him. |

Steelers | Rodgers throws for 235 yards, three touchdowns in win over Colts Sun Oct 11, 04:10 PM
Pittsburgh Steelers QB Aaron Rodgers completed 22 of 31 passes for 235 yards with 3 touchdowns in Sunday's 34-22 win over the Indianapolis Colts. He was projected for 15.7 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 22.0.
| Footballguys view: Rodgers has thrown three scores in three straight games, and this game was the first one that saw him also not throw a ball for a completion to the opponent out of those three. He's actually worth a look as a streaming QB1 to cover Joe Burrow or Jared Goff's bye off of the waiver wire if he wasn't picked up before this game. Jaylen Warren helped with an 80-yard touchdown on a short pass and rookie second round pick Germie Bernard led the rest of the passcatchers with 6-80, playing a bigger role after Roman Wilson (finger) and Ben Skowronek (calf) left with injuries. |

Patriots | Doubs held to 1 catch for 16 yards in win over Raiders Sun Oct 11, 04:10 PM
New England Patriots WR Romeo Doubs caught 1 pass for 16 yards on 3 targets in Sunday's 45-17 win over the Las Vegas Raiders. He was projected for 10.5 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 2.1.
| Footballguys view: Doubs scored twice last week, but somehow was barely involved on an afternoon that saw the Patriots score 45 points. Drake Maye is playing so well that you have to consider keeping Doubs in as a WR3/Flex against the Jets suspect pass defense next week, but once AJ Brown is back, Doubs might not be worth a roster spot in typical leagues. He's not an essential hold in short bench leagues after the scramble to pick him up coming into this game. |
Romeo Doubs player page
Raiders | Mayer held to 1 catch for 2 yards in loss to Patriots Sun Oct 11, 04:10 PM
Las Vegas Raiders TE Michael Mayer caught 1 pass for 2 yards on 1 target in Sunday's 45-17 loss to the New England Patriots. He was projected for 7.1 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 0.7.
| Footballguys view: Mayer was a big part of the Raiders pass offense in Week 4, but he was barely heard from in Week 5. The Raiders weren't able to get anything going in this game except for passes to their all world wide receiver, err tight end Brock Bowers. Mayer isn't an essential hold heading into a game against the Bills, but the likely high-scoring matchup does keep him in streaming consideration if you are going to the wire to cover Sam LaPorta's bye next week. |

Patriots | Douglas catches 4 passes for 65 yards, two touchdowns in win over Raiders Sun Oct 11, 04:10 PM
New England Patriots WR Demario Douglas caught 4 passes for 65 yards and two touchdowns on 5 targets in Sunday's 45-17 win over the Las Vegas Raiders. He was projected for 5.9 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 20.5.
| Footballguys view: Douglas had a long touchdown on a busted coverage to open the scoring and he closed the scoring with a short touchdown to get the Patriots offense into the 40s on an ideal day for them. He's not more than a what-the-heck flex off of the waiver wire against the Jets next week, but Douglas's ability to make plays as a complementary receiver will help Drake Maye's value until AJ Brown is ready to return in a few weeks. |

Patriots | Maye throws for 374 yards, four touchdowns in win over Raiders Sun Oct 11, 04:10 PM
New England Patriots QB Drake Maye completed 26 of 34 passes for 374 yards with 4 touchdowns and added 7 times for 25 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 45-17 win over the Las Vegas Raiders. He was projected for 18.4 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 39.5.
| Footballguys view: Two weeks after there were reports that Maye had lost his confidence, he was nearly flawless against a Raiders defense that frustrated him in a 20-13 season opening loss last year. Maye is back to being a high ceiling QB1 play heading into a matchup at home against the Jets. |

Raiders | Washington held to 5 yards on 1 carry in loss to Patriots Sun Oct 11, 04:10 PM
Las Vegas Raiders RB Mike Washington Jr. ran 1 time for 5 yards and also caught 1 pass for 5 yards on 1 target in Sunday's 45-17 loss to the New England Patriots. He was projected for 9.1 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 1.5.
| Footballguys view: Ashton Jeanty was a game time decision after being added to the injury report with plantar fasciitis in addition his lingering ankle injury suffered in a practice in between the end of the preseason and Week 1. The Klint Kubiak running game never got out of the garage as the Raiders fell behind big early, and they will probably have to rely on the passing game to keep up with Josh Allen and the Bills next week. Washington is still a hold if you can find a bench spot for him because Jeanty is clearly not 100%, but this result was disappointing in more ways than one. |

Packers | Watson catches 6 passes for 143 yards, two touchdowns in win over Bears Sun Oct 11, 04:10 PM
Green Bay Packers WR Christian Watson caught 6 passes for 143 yards and two touchdowns on 8 targets in Sunday's 31-7 win over the Chicago Bears. He was projected for 12.0 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 29.3.
| Footballguys view: Watson had one easy long touchdown and one that took an exceptional concentration play to make with a defender in his face. Jordan Love's deep ball is one of the best in the league, and the chemistry he has with Watson is undeniable. If we were drafting today, Watson would be worth a first round pick with the woeful Cowboys pass defense up in Week 6. |

Bears | Bagent held to 87 passing yards in loss to Packers Sun Oct 11, 04:10 PM
Chicago Bears QB Tyson Bagent completed 12 of 21 passes for 87 yards and 2 interceptions in Sunday's 31-7 loss to the Green Bay Packers. He was projected for 16.9 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 3.2.
| Footballguys view: Bagent wasn't able to do anything against a Packers defense that had been mediocre at best so far this season. The Bears have to hope Caleb Williams will be back for next week's game at Atlanta. Since Bagent was benched for Case Keenum, who wasn't much better, it's not clear who would start if Williams isn't ready to return from his hamstring injury in Week 6. |

Packers | Golden catches 6 passes for 123 yards in win over Bears Sun Oct 11, 04:10 PM
Green Bay Packers WR Matthew Golden caught 6 passes for 123 yards on 7 targets in Sunday's 31-7 win over the Chicago Bears. He was projected for 12.5 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 15.3.
| Footballguys view: The Packers pass offense was quiet in an ugly win over Tampa Bay last week, but it came alive against the Bears ragtag secondary in Week 5. Golden has been everything the Packers hoped he would be after they took him in the first round last year and allowed Romeo Doubs to walk in free agency, making him a starter. He's a high ceiling WR3/Flex who might be a strong WR2 if the Packers offensive line holds up the way they did in this blowout win. |
Matthew Golden player page
Packers | Love throws for 367 yards, two touchdowns in win over Bears Sun Oct 11, 04:10 PM
Green Bay Packers QB Jordan Love completed 25 of 31 passes for 367 yards with 2 touchdowns in Sunday's 31-7 win over the Chicago Bears. He was projected for 17.2 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 23.3.
| Footballguys view: Love was attacking the Bears with the deep ball in a game that would have made Dan Fouts and Don Coryell jealous. The Bears defense has been wildly inconsistent week-to-week depending on the opponent, game script, and conditions, but it appears that good offenses are going to rack up yards and points against them. Next week, the Bears travel to Atlanta to face a good offense, while the Packers host the Cowboys bottom five defense, so expect the trends from this game to continue. |

Raiders | Rookie Fernando Mendoza set to make NFL debut against Patriots Sun Oct 11, 03:56 PM
Raiders rookie QB Fernando Mendoza was set to make his NFL debut with 6:04 to go in Sunday's game at the Patriots. Mendoza, the No. 1 overall pick, had been the backup to QB Kirk Cousins, who was announced as the starter for the previous game.

Saints | Shough held to 96 passing yards in loss to Vikings, possibly playing with fracture in left hand Sun Oct 11, 03:56 PM
New Orleans Saints QB Tyler Shough completed 16 of 25 passes for 96 yards and 2 interceptions in Sunday's 23-13 loss to the Minnesota Vikings. He was projected for 16.6 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 1.8.
| Footballguys view: This box score should just encourage you to sit your quarterback if they are facing the Vikings and you are unsure if they are your best option. Shough's left hand was taped up and he was listed on the injury report with a hand injury before the game. He said he's not sure if his hand is broken, so we'll want to keep him on the bench in 1QB leagues against the Giants next week if we can help it. The Vikings get Daniel Jones and the Colts after the bye, followed by Detroit, Buffalo, Green Bay, San Francisco, Atlanta, Carolina, New England and Detroit again in a two-month run that will show us just how good this defense is. |
Tyler Shough player page
Vikings | Jones runs for 113 yards, one TD in win over Saints Sun Oct 11, 03:56 PM
Minnesota Vikings RB Aaron Jones ran 25 times for 113 yards and a touchdown, also caught 3 passes for 4 yards on 3 targets and lost 1 fumble in Sunday's 23-13 win over the New Orleans Saints. He was projected for 15.7 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 17.2.
| Footballguys view: Jones actually left this game briefly with a knee injury and he will certainly welcome the rest coming during the 5-0 Vikings bye next week. Jordan Mason should be ready to return and split the work in Week 7, but Jones should still be a weekly flex play on a defense/ball control team. He has been outstanding as a lead back playing through a knee injury under a heavy workload since Mason went out with a thumb injury after Week 1. Mason should also be added if he's on your waiver wire even if it means you have to carry him through the bye. |
Aaron Jones Sr. player page
Saints | Kamara held to 12 yards on 3 carries in loss to Vikings Sun Oct 11, 03:56 PM
New Orleans Saints RB Alvin Kamara ran 3 times for 12 yards and also caught 2 passes for -6 yards on 2 targets in Sunday's 23-13 loss to the Minnesota Vikings. He was projected for 10.1 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 1.6.
| Footballguys view: Kendre Miller was effective in the red zone and CJ Donaldson pitched in a few carries, but this was also a very tough matchup, so we will give Kamara a pass for his low output. Kamara isn't an essential hold in short bench leagues as the Saints head to New Jersey to face the Giants in Week 6. |
Alvin Kamara player page
Texans | Noel catches 5 passes for 41 yards, a touchdown in win over Titans Sun Oct 11, 03:56 PM
Houston Texans WR Jaylin Noel ran 1 time for 1 yards and also caught 5 passes for 41 yards and a touchdown on 5 targets in Sunday's 26-3 win over the Tennessee Titans. He was projected for 5.9 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 12.7.
| Footballguys view: The Texans acquisition of Marvin Harrison Jr. was announced after this game, so Noel's target share is unlikely to go up, but he has been making plays big and small for this offense to help take some heat off of CJ Stroud and Nico Collins. We'll keep him on our waiver wire watch list with this offense going through CJ Stroud with the running game stuck in neutral and David Montgomery leaving this game with a groin injury. |
Jaylin Noel player page
Titans | Tate held to 1 catch for 6 yards in loss to Texans Sun Oct 11, 03:56 PM
Tennessee Titans WR Carnell Tate caught 1 pass for 6 yards on 5 targets in Sunday's 26-3 loss to the Houston Texans. He was projected for 11.3 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 1.1.
| Footballguys view: Tate came into this came questionable with a back issue. Even though the Texans pass defense has been shredded by the likes of Josh Allen and Dak Prescott this season, Cam Ward was not up to matching their intensity in Week 5, so Tate was a bust. The Colts defense is up next. While they have had some breakdowns in coverage this season, Tate won't be a viable WR3/Flex play unless we see him get in a full practice and get off of the injury report next week. He's not an essential hold in short bench leagues. |

Jets | Kenyon Sadiq ruled out with a concussion against Browns Sun Oct 11, 03:33 PM
Jets TE Kenyon Sadiq has been ruled out of Sunday's game against the Browns with a concussion, the team announced. Sadiq had been evaluated for a head injury earlier in the game. He will now enter the league's concussion protocol ahead of the Week 6 game at New England.
| Footballguys view: Sadiq had previously fumbled in the red zone. He has turned back into a pumpkin after a Week 3 7-105-1 breakout game that ended up being more about the Lions pass defense issues than the second of the Jets three first round picks announcing his arrival. |

Patriots | TreVeyon Henderson ruled out vs. Raiders Sun Oct 11, 03:06 PM
Patriots RB TreVeyon Henderson has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Raiders. Henderson had walked to the locker room for further evaluation and was listed as questionable to return with an ankle injury before being officially ruled out.
| Footballguys view: Henderson finishes with four carries for 22 rushing yards and one catch for 16 yards when he came in as the healthier of the two Patriots backs. Rhamondre Stevenson will be a strong RB2 play for as long as Henderson is out. Corey Kiner is the #3 back, but he fumbled in this game, so he's no threat to Stevenson. |

Steelers | Roman Wilson out, Steelers 'down to 4 wide receivers' against Colts Sun Oct 11, 02:54 PM
Steelers WR Roman Wilson is out during Sunday's game against the Colts, and WR Ben Skowronek is also out. That leaves Pittsburgh with four wide receivers: DK Metcalf, Germie Bernard, Brandon Smith and Kaden Wetjen.
| Footballguys view: Wilson was a deep sleeper this week with Michael Pittman (foot) on injured reserve. He had caught touchdowns in each of the last two games, and Aaron Rodgers threw three more scores against the Colts, but none to Wilson as he left the game with a finger injury. Rookie second round Germie Bernard posted 6-80 in this game will play a big role in the passing until Wilson and Pittman are healthy. Pat Freiermuth also becomes a quality pickup after a five catch, two touchdown game in the win. |

Texans | David Montgomery downgraded to out with groin injury against Titans Sun Oct 11, 02:41 PM
Texans RB David Montgomery has been downgraded to out with a groin injury in Sunday's game against the Titans. Montgomery had earlier been listed as questionable to return.
| Footballguys view: Montgomery was a bust in a week that he had a good chance for a touchdown because of this lopsided matchup. Instead, Woody Marks outplayed Montgomery before the injury and should be the clear lead back until Montgomery returns. Marks will be a priority pickup as we wait for news about Montgomery's status for a big game against the division-leading Jaguars next week. The Texans running game has been ineffective so far this season, but it has been more ineffective with Montgomery in. |
David Montgomery player page
Browns | KC Concepcion ruled out with head injury after 'huge blow' from Minkah Fitzpatrick Sun Oct 11, 01:31 PM
Browns rookie WR KC Concepcion has been ruled out of Sunday's game against the Jets with a head injury. Concepcion suffered the injury on a "huge blow" from Jets S Minkah Fitzpatrick in the first quarter.
| Footballguys view: Isaiah Bond has replaced Concepcion in the lineup. Fitzpatrick already had committed a face mask on the drive that he hurt Concepcion, which led to a Browns field goal. The Browns face the Ravens next week and may have to without their first round pick wide receiver. |

Vikings | T.J. Hockenson downgraded to out vs. Saints Sun Oct 11, 01:25 PM
Vikings TE T.J. Hockenson (concussion) has been downgraded to out for Sunday's game against the Saints. Hockenson was injured in the first quarter and had been evaluated for a concussion before being listed as questionable to return.
| Footballguys view: Hockenson posted his biggest fantasy game in years with 13 games last week against Miami. Justin Jefferson was back this week, so Hockenson's outlook wasn't as bright, but he probably still got in some lineups as a streaming TE1, so this is a disappointment. The Vikings are on bye next week, so Hockenson may not miss an additional game due to this injury. |

Jaguars | Washington catches 6 passes for 124 yards, two touchdowns in win over Eagles Sun Oct 11, 01:16 PM
Jacksonville Jaguars WR Parker Washington caught 6 passes for 124 yards and two touchdowns on 9 targets in Sunday's 19-17 win over the Philadelphia Eagles. He was projected for 11.9 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 27.4.
| Footballguys view: Washington scored once on a long catch and run and then made a one-handed touchdown catch on fourth down late in the fourth quarter. He is making himself money on his next contract every week, and he came through for fantasy teams after a quiet couple of weeks. This game reminded us that Washington's ceiling is too high to bench him, including against the Texans next week. |

Jaguars | Lawrence throws for 331 yards, two touchdowns in win over Eagles Sun Oct 11, 01:16 PM
Jacksonville Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence completed 24 of 39 passes for 331 yards with 2 touchdowns and 1 interception and added 3 times for 25 yards in Sunday's 19-17 win over the Philadelphia Eagles. He was projected for 17.5 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 22.7.
| Footballguys view: The Jaguars won this game thanks to a heroic kick return by Ameer Abdullah with eight seconds left to the Philadelphia side of the field to set up a 57 yard game-winning field goal by Cam Little after Jake Elliott had just hit what looked like a game-winning field goal. The game could have been easier for the Jaguars and bigger for the fantasy output of Lawrence and this offense, but the team was stopped on fourth down and goal and twice came away with no points after having first and goal at the one on both drives. Lawrence ended up being a good start against the tough Eagles defense thanks to two outstanding plays on touchdown catches by Parker Washington. Consider Lawrence a high floor play against the beleaguered Texans defense next week. |

Commanders | Jayden Daniels to wear 'much larger brace' on left elbow, offense to adjust Sun Oct 11, 12:28 PM
Commanders QB Jayden Daniels will wear a much larger brace on his left elbow on Sunday than the one he wore last year. Daniels has had several practices to get comfortable with it, and the Commanders feel it greatly decreases the chances of the elbow being re-injured. Some things will be done differently offensively because of the elbow.

Eagles | Will Shipley ruled out vs. Jaguars, Dameon Pierce 'the top option' Sun Oct 11, 11:42 AM
Eagles RB Will Shipley has been ruled out of Sunday's game against the Jaguars in London after suffering a foot injury. The Eagles are down to two running backs who started the week on the practice squad, RB Dameon Pierce and RB Carson Steele, with Pierce "the top option." Shipley had been expected to lead the backfield without RB Saquon Barkley.
| Footballguys view: Shipley scored before leaving the game so that he wasn't a complete loss as a what-the-heck flex. Pierce managed 14 yards on 11 carries and -2 yards and two receptions, so even if he gets the start against the Panthers next week, he's a desperation play. |
