Ravens | Lamar Jackson in 'decent spot' to play Week 8 at Bills, more known Wednesday Mon Oct 26, 03:08 PM
Ravens head coach Jesse Minter said on Monday that QB Lamar Jackson will be in a "decent spot" as far as playing Sunday in Buffalo, but the team will know more about Jackson's status on Wednesday, ESPN's Jamison Hensley reported.
| Footballguys view: Jackson, who's missed the last three games, returned to work on a limited basis last week. After Friday's practice, Jackson didn't look like a quarterback who was close to full strength, limping to the lectern for his media session. He was also not seen as players walked off the field Friday, which suggests he did not finish practice. Jackson said Friday that he was "heading in the right direction" and the decision would come down to pain tolerance. It's reasonable to hope the improvement continues as preparations to take on the Bills begin. Expect regular updates all week. |

Buccaneers | Bowles calls Emeka Egbuka 'questionable' for Week 8, will know more after practice Mon Oct 26, 02:52 PM
Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles said on Monday that WR Emeka Egbuka (concussion) is questionable for Week 8 against the Falcons.
| Footballguys view: "They're all questionable. We're going to see on Wednesday and Thursday what they do, and I'll have a better answer for you," Bowles said of Egbuka and two other injured players. Egbuka was ruled out of Sunday's win over the Panthers after returning to practice on Friday. We'll be following up on his progress all week. |

Cardinals | WR Jalen Brooks to undergo season-ending wrist surgery Mon Oct 26, 02:35 PM
Cardinals WR Jalen Brooks announced on social media on Monday that he will undergo season-ending wrist surgery.
| Footballguys view: Brooks has taken on an expanded role since the Marvin Harrison Jr. trade moved him up the depth chart. He is tied for fourth on the Cardinals this season with 17 targets. Without Brooks, the Cardinals have five active wide receivers and two more on the practice squad. Michael Wilson (37), Kendrick Bourne (25), and Reggie Virgil (2) are the only members of that group with a catch this season. The other receivers are Devin Duvernay, Simi Fehoko, Shedrick Jackson (on the practice squad), and Harrison Wallace III (also on the practice squad). |

Jets | Aaron Glenn calls Garrett Wilson sideline outburst 'overblown' Mon Oct 26, 01:15 PM
Jets head coach Aaron Glenn said on Monday that WR Garrett Wilson's sideline outburst during Sunday's 28-25 loss to the Dolphins was "overblown" by the media. It was Glenn's first comment on the incident. Glenn added that "it's going to get noisy" for the Jets.
| Footballguys view: CBS cameras caught a frustrated Wilson, targeted only three times, screaming in the direction of Geno Smith. Afterward, Wilson said he wasn't directing his ire at Smith. The target appeared to be passing-game coordinator Seth Ryan, who was seated next to the QB. "We were collaborating," said Wilson, who finished with only two catches for 26 yards, one week after a quiet game against the Patriots. The coaches spoke about the importance of getting Wilson involved in the offense, and yet it took until the third quarter before he was targeted. |

Commanders | Quinn doesn't expect larger Diggs role with McLaurin out, mentions Antonio Williams Mon Oct 26, 01:14 PM
Commanders head coach Dan Quinn said on Monday that he doesn't anticipate WR Stefon Diggs taking on a larger role with WR Terry McLaurin out.
| Footballguys view: Quinn indicated the change will come with usage elsewhere and mentioned rookie WR Antonio Williams. TE Chig Okonkwo and WR Treylon Burks are also candidates to do more. McLaurin suffered a torn patellar tendon and is done for the season. |

Commanders | Treylon Burks expected to be limited at start of practice week Mon Oct 26, 01:03 PM
Commanders WR Treylon Burks is expected to be limited in practice at the start of this week, according to head coach Dan Quinn's comments on Monday. Washington returns from its bye week.
| Footballguys view: Burks move up in the rotation after Terry McLaurin went down with a knee injury during the team's Week 6 game. Burks drew six targets coming off the bench in that game, and he could continue playing a more significant role with McLaurin out for the season. We'll follow up on his status as the week progresses. In the meantime, proactively adding Burks is a good idea if there's room on your roster for a speculative play. |

Seahawks | Seahawks to open Jadarian Price's 21-day practice window this week Mon Oct 26, 12:59 PM
The Seahawks will open the 21-day practice window for rookie RB Jadarian Price this week, head coach Mike Macdonald said on Monday. Price has been on injured reserve with a chest injury. There was no word on his status for next Monday night's Week 8 game against the Bears.
| Footballguys view: According to CBSSports.com, Seattle will likely make the transaction official Thursday, when the team will hold its first practice ahead of next Monday's game against the Bears. With the 21-day window, the team won't rush a decision on his return. Whenever he's activated, Price could be part of a backfield committee with Zach Charbonnet (knee) -- who appears to be trending toward making his 2026 debut versus Chicago -- and potentially Emanuel Wilson and George Holani. |

Seahawks | 'Early returns are positive' on Rashid Shaheed's knee injury Mon Oct 26, 12:54 PM
Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald said on Monday that the "early returns are positive" on WR Rashid Shaheed's knee injury, speaking on Seattle Sports radio. Shaheed left Sunday's win over the Chiefs with the injury and did not return.
| Footballguys view: Shaheed had to exit Sunday's win after the first half with the injury. Shaheed is averaging 11.5 yards per punt return and 27.3 yards per kick return so far this season. He's also caught 16 passes for 163 yards and taken four carries for 39 yards with a touchdown. Seattle does have an extra day to prepare, as the club will face the Bears on Monday night in Week 8. |

Texans | Caserio on Stroud contract: 'Couldn't quite come to agreement,' 'nobody is discouraged' Mon Oct 26, 11:20 AM
Texans GM Nick Caserio said Monday that the team and QB C.J. Stroud "couldn't quite come to agreement" on a contract extension. "There wasn't any reluctance," Caserio said. "Nobody is discouraged. Have a lot of respect for C.J. and David (Mulugheta). At some point, it will take care of itself."
| Footballguys view: The 25-year-old Stroud is playing out the season on the final year of his four-year, $36.28 million rookie contract, and Houston already picked up his $25.9 million fully guaranteed fifth-year option for 2027. While Stroud has been great for fantasy managers, he's currently QB7 with 1,867 passing yards, 11 touchdowns, and one interception; Houston is just 2-5 after entering the season considered to be among the Super Bowl favorites. Stroud and the Texans will use the bye week to regroup before returning in Week 9 to try to get their season back on track. |

Vikings | Aaron Jones 'day to day', had played with sprained MCL since Week 2 Mon Oct 26, 11:03 AM
Vikings RB Aaron Jones Sr. had been playing with a sprained left MCL since Week 2 before suffering a knee injury in Sunday's win over the Colts. The latest knee injury is not considered significant at this time, and a source described Jones as "day to day," ESPN's Adam Schefter reported on Monday.
| Footballguys view: While the news is positive, Jones will continue to deal with this injury. Meanwhile, Jordan Mason averaged 4.5 yards per carry in his return from IR Sunday and was likely to play a more robust role in the coming weeks regardless of Jones' health. Expect that trend to continue when the Vikings take on the Lions in Week 8. |

Packers | Zaire Franklin dealing with 'hairline fracture' Mon Oct 26, 11:00 AM
Packers LB Zaire Franklin is dealing with a hairline fracture. Franklin had been ruled out of Sunday's game against the Lions after taking a knee to the shin in practice.
| Footballguys view: Franklin is expected to return without missing much more time. The team did not place him on injured reserve, which is another indication of his status. |

Broncos | J.K. Dobbins fades after first drive as Jonah Coleman leads RBs in snaps Mon Oct 26, 08:56 AM
Broncos RB J.K. Dobbins had 3 carries for 15 yards on Denver's first drive of Sunday's game against the Cardinals, then just 3 carries for 8 yards over the team's final nine drives.
| Footballguys view: Rookie RB Jonah Coleman, back from injured reserve, led the Broncos' running backs with 30 offensive snaps (49%). RB RJ Harvey played 16 snaps and Dobbins 14. The good news is Dobbins salvaged his day with a goal-line touchdown run. While Dobbins will still have some value, Coleman appears to be on a path to lead this backfield down the stretch. |

Broncos | Rookie Jonah Coleman leads Broncos RBs with 30 snaps in return from IR Mon Oct 26, 07:23 AM
Broncos rookie RB Jonah Coleman led the team's running backs with 30 offensive snaps (49%) in Sunday's win over the Cardinals, his first game back after being activated from injured reserve. RB RJ Harvey played 16 snaps and RB J.K. Dobbins played 14.
| Footballguys view: As Pro Football Focus reminded readers, Coleman, in his first game back from a stint on IR, led the backfield in snaps on early downs, third downs, and in short-yardage situations. He averaged 6.0 yards per carry, compared to 3.8 for Dobbins and 2.0 for Harvey. However, Harvey scored a receiving touchdown, while Dobbins handled the team's lone goal-line snap and turned it into a rushing touchdown. Given the workload, Coleman is a clear top waiver-wire target this week in any league where he remains available. |

Dolphins | Ollie Gordon plays 54 snaps to Jaylen Wright's 8 in win over Jets Mon Oct 26, 06:49 AM
Dolphins RB Ollie Gordon II played 54 offensive snaps in Sunday's Week 7 win over the Jets. RB Jaylen Wright played eight snaps. Gordon ran for 103 yards and a touchdown in the game.
| Footballguys view: Wright suffered a quad injury late in the third quarter and was unable to return, but Gordon has been the featured back for Miami since De'Von Achane's season-ending injury, playing 71% of snaps from Weeks 3-5. While part of that has been Gordon playing well, some of that has also been Wright dealing with a foot injury. Gordon ended Sunday with 25 carries for 103 yards and a touchdown. As Pro Football Focus suggests, he will remain a must-start option at running back until someone steps up and takes some of Gordon's playing time. |

Browns | Judkins, Sampson 'handle all the work' in Browns backfield in return Mon Oct 26, 05:57 AM
Browns RBs Quinshon Judkins and Dylan Sampson handled all of the work in the backfield in Sunday's 27-24 win over the Titans, their first game back. Judkins ran for 96 yards and two touchdowns in the win.
| Footballguys view: As Pro Football Focus suggested, the Browns' running back distribution resembles what most people expected heading into the season. Judkins was the lead back on early downs, dominating short-yardage and goal-line snaps, while Sampson was the principal backup and clear passing-down back. Judkins remains the fantasy-viable option and was especially effective Sunday, hitting new season-high marks for rushing yards and TDs while tearing through Tennessee's defense for 96 yards and two touchdowns on 17 carries, providing Cleveland's offense with a much-needed running threat to balance the unit. |

Raiders | Kubiak will evaluate everything, including who starts at QB Mon Oct 26, 01:52 AM
Amid a four-game losing streak, Raiders coach Klint Kubiak said the team is evaluating everything, including looking toward the future by starting No. 1 pick Fernando Mendoza over Kirk Cousins. "We have to go watch the film," Kubiak said after a 35-21 loss to the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday. "We've got to talk about all of it."
| Footballguys view: Through seven games, Cousins has thrown for 1,877 yards, a league-leading 16 touchdowns and five interceptions. He has thrown seven TDs in the past four games after nine in the first three. To be clear, Cousins is not this team's biggest problem. But he's understood the reality of his situation since the team drafted Mendoza with the first pick in April's draft. If the losses begin to pile up, the likelihood of the team turning to the Heisman Trophy winner will increase. Stay tuned. |

Raiders | Kirk Cousins on possible Mendoza switch: 'If I'm not the best option, I don't want to be out there' Sun Oct 25, 10:13 PM
Raiders QB Kirk Cousins addressed the possibility of being replaced by rookie QB Fernando Mendoza, saying, "If I'm not the best option, I don't want to be out there."
| Footballguys view: After three straight wins to start the season, the decision to ride with Cousins was looking like the wise choice. Now that the Raiders have lost four in a row, it's fair to wonder whether the time for Mendoza, the first-pick overall in April's draft, to take over the starting job is coming. The Raiders play the Jets in Week 8. |

TE Erick All Jr. sidelined by injury Sun Oct 25, 07:48 PM
Bengals TE Erick All Jr. suffered an injury during his team's Week 7 game against the Baltimore Ravens. All was ruled out with what the Bengals called a right knee injury.
| Footballguys view: All was an important part of the team's second-half comeback before exiting with an injury. As seen on the broadcast, All limped off the field and went to the blue medical tent, then eventually went to the locker room. All has been a critical part of the offense for the Bengals when healthy, but he's struggled to stay on the field. The Bengals already put Tanner Hudson on injured reserve this season, so depth behind Mike Gesicki and Drew Sample continues to look shaky. |
Cardinals | LaFleur says Jacoby Brissett will continue to be QB1 after loss to Broncos Sun Oct 25, 07:47 PM
Cardinals head coach Mike LaFleur said on Sunday that QB Jacoby Brissett will continue to be the team's starting quarterback following the 30-16 home loss to the Broncos. LaFleur appeared to understand that questions about the quarterback position will keep coming.
| Footballguys view: Brissett was hit repeatedly by the Broncos. He was sacked three times, and the Broncos were credited with 13 quarterback hits. Perhaps things will get better in a more favorable matchup against the Cowboys in Week 8. |

Los Angeles Rams TE Davis Allen caught 4 passes for 20 yards and two touchdowns on 5 targets in Sunday's 35-21 win over the Las Vegas Raiders. He was projected for 2.0 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 16.0.
| Footballguys view: As ESPN.com's Sarah Barshop noted, outside of Puka Nacua, just one Rams wide receiver had a catch: Konata Mumpfield, for 15 yards. Instead, the Rams turned to their tight ends (Allen, Colby Parkinson, and Tyler Higbee) and their running backs (Kyren Williams and Blake Corum). It led to their highest-scoring game of the season. |

Las Vegas Raiders WR Tre Tucker caught 5 passes for 103 yards and a touchdown on 12 targets in Sunday's 35-21 loss to the Los Angeles Rams. He was projected for 9.3 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 18.8.

Rams | Stafford throws for 195 yards, three touchdowns in win over Raiders Sun Oct 25, 07:40 PM
Los Angeles Rams QB Matthew Stafford completed 23 of 29 passes for 195 yards with 3 touchdowns and 1 interception in Sunday's 35-21 win over the Las Vegas Raiders. He was projected for 18.5 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 18.5.
| Footballguys view: Stafford led four consecutive and methodical touchdown drives before halftime to blow the score wide open and build a 28-6 lead at the half. But the catalyst for the offensive success was the run game, as the Rams ran at will and amassed 103 rushing yards in the first half and a season-high 199 in total. Despite the low overall passing numbers, the three touchdowns made for a solid fantasy showing for Stafford. |

Broncos | Jaylen Waddle's injury categorized as a chest injury Sun Oct 25, 07:35 PM
Broncos WR Jaylen Waddle's injury was categorized as a chest injury by the team before Sunday's win over the Cardinals ended.
| Footballguys view: The injury occurred on a reverse with under five minutes remaining in the 30-16 triumph. Waddle fumbled the pitch from quarterback Bo Nix and dove to recover the ball as a defender landed on top of him. Broncos head coach Sean Payton criticized his own play call on the reverse in which Waddle was injured. Waddle caught four passes for 48 yards on Sunday. He has 26 receptions for 276 yards and one score through seven games. We'll have more on Waddle's status for the team's Week 8 game against the Chiefs in coming days. |

Lions | Goff throws for 303 yards, two touchdowns in win over Packers Sun Oct 25, 07:31 PM
Detroit Lions QB Jared Goff completed 22 of 32 passes for 303 yards with 2 touchdowns and lost 1 fumble in Sunday's 20-17 win over the Green Bay Packers. He was projected for 19.4 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 18.0.
| Footballguys view: Goff continued his excellent season, and the Lions, despite some miscues and stalled drives, still racked up 415 yards of offense, got 26 first downs, and punted only twice. That normally leads to more than 20 points, but they'll take the win. The Lions face an aggressive Minnesota defense in Week 8. |

| Footballguys view: Williams is becoming more of a focal point in the offense. His two touchdown catches Sunday made him the third player this season with multiple receiving TDs in back-to-back games, joining Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jaxon Smith-Njigba. The Lions play the Vikings in Week 8. |

Denver Broncos QB Bo Nix completed 15 of 29 passes for 222 yards with 1 touchdown and ran 7 times for 73 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 30-16 win over the Arizona Cardinals. He was projected for 16.1 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 26.2.
| Footballguys view: Nix, who has been reluctant to throw downfield to this point in the season, connected with Jaylen Waddle and Courtland Sutton for a combined seven completions for 93 yards, and his screen pass to RJ Harvey went for a 52-yard touchdown, finally delivering some legitimate production. His 62-yard scoring run added to that. The Broncos play the Chiefs in Week 8. |

| Footballguys view: It was National Tight Ends Day on Sunday, and McBride, as he does on game days, holiday or not, was excellent again. As CBSSports.com notes, McBride became the first tight end in NFL history to record 400 regular-season catches in his first four seasons, bolstering his career total to 406. McBride has recorded at least seven receptions in all seven games this season while scoring four times heading into a Week 8 matchup with a weak Dallas pass defense. |

Vikings RB Aaron Jones Sr. will have an MRI on his knee on Monday. The hope is that the injury won't be a long-term one.
| Footballguys view: Jones made an early exit from Sunday's win over the Colts after a 17-yard gain in the fourth quarter. He ran 8 times for 26 yards and also caught 1 pass for 0 yards on 1 target before aggravating an existing injury. Jordan Mason, who averaged 4.5 yards per carry in his return from IR Sunday, will be available to pick up any slack. |

Broncos | Jaylen Waddle down after 'gadget call', lands hard on left shoulder Sun Oct 25, 07:09 PM
Broncos WR Jaylen Waddle went down on the field after a gadget play in Sunday's game against the Cardinals. Waddle landed hard on his left shoulder and looked "very uncomfortable" as he was assisted off the ground.
| Footballguys view: Waddle got hurt recovering a fumble on a broken play. The Broncos got a win and Bo Nix should be more confident heading into a showdown with the Chiefs in Week 8, but losing Waddle for the game would be a big blow for this inconsistent-at-best offense. Waddle was at seven targets and four catches for 48 yards when his afternoon was ended by this injury. |

| Footballguys view: Skattebo ran 17 times for 124 yards and a touchdown and also caught 1 pass for -3 yards. He was RB11 through Sunday's late-afternoon window.
