Colts | Alec Pierce eligible to come off IR but will not practice this week Mon Oct 19, 02:28 PM
Colts WR Alec Pierce, who is eligible to come off injured reserve this week, will not practice, head coach Shane Steichen said on Monday. Pierce is still rehabbing after aggravating his surgically repaired left heel last month. He was in a walking boot in the press box on Sunday.

Bengals | Bengals will 'continually assess' touch share between Perine, Chase Brown Mon Oct 19, 01:06 PM
Bengals RB Samaje Perine could see an increased workload in Week 7 against the Ravens after running for a season-high 68 yards on 14 carries in Week 5.
| Footballguys view: RB Chase Brown has been Cincinnati's lead back but is averaging just 3.0 yards per carry, and the Bengals' rushing attack ranks 27th in the NFL. "I think we'll continually assess how that touch share between (Perine) and Chase Brown should play out," offensive coordinator Dan Pitcher said. "Every game's different. What type of scheme we lean into is going to factor into that." While Brown remains a viable starting option, if the shift to involve Perine persists, we'll have become more aggressive with his projections. |

Broncos | Sean Payton says 'no' to QB change, Broncos sticking with Bo Nix Mon Oct 19, 01:00 PM
Broncos head coach Sean Payton said on Monday that he is not considering a change at quarterback despite QB Bo Nix's struggles during Denver's 4-2 start. "To answer your question, no," Payton said. "He is going to become the byproduct of all the finer things that get improved. The improved play from our offensive line; the more efficient we are relative to downs; and running the football."
| Footballguys view: Nix attempted 27 passes and totaled just 107 yards in Thursday's win over the Seahawks. He was criticized by analysts, including Amazon Prime analyst Ryan Fitzpatrick, who questioned Nix's competitive effort. Denver won despite being outgained, 353-168, mustering just two first downs and 30 yards of offense in the second half. The popular narrative last season was that the Broncos came up short of reaching the Super Bowl because Nix was injured in the Divisional Round. This year, Denver is prevailing despite poor play from its quarterback, who seems averse to throwing the ball and uncomfortable leading the offense. |

Commanders | Stefon Diggs traveled with team, has 'a shot to play' Monday night Mon Oct 19, 12:58 PM
Commanders WR Stefon Diggs (hamstring), who is questionable for Monday night's game at the 49ers, was on the field Thursday and Friday for the team's install and walkthrough and traveled with the team to California, a sign the team believes he "has a shot to play."
| Footballguys view: Diggs and Terry McLaurin each have 11 receptions for first downs this season. If Diggs plays, it could be the first time in about a month that QB Jayden Daniels, McLaurin, Diggs and TE Chig Okonkwo are on the field together. A final answer is expected when inactives are announced at 6:45 PM ET. |

Buccaneers | Baker Mayfield will practice Wednesday ahead of Panthers game Mon Oct 19, 12:46 PM
Buccaneers QB Baker Mayfield (thumb) will practice on Wednesday, head coach Todd Bowles said on Monday while discussing the team's quarterback plans for Sunday's game at Carolina. Mayfield missed Sunday's game against the Steelers with a dislocated thumb.
| Footballguys view: Mayfield's dislocated right thumb has kept him off the practice field since he was injured in Week 3, but he tested his ability to throw the ball last week. The question is whether Mayfield can grip the football sufficiently to throw it. Halon Daniels has started with Mayfield sidelined, and the Bucs have gone 1-2 in those games. Bowles said the team will construct a game plan that takes into account the uncertainty about who will start in Carolina. We'll continue to follow as the week progresses. |

Broncos | Payton says Bo Nix can 'climb through adversity' after two ankle surgeries Mon Oct 19, 12:41 PM
Broncos head coach Sean Payton was asked on Monday whether QB Bo Nix has a mental hurdle to get over with his ankle after two offseason surgeries. "One of the things that attracted us to Bo in the beginning is we've seen his ability to climb through adversity," Payton said. "It's not just Bo that feels that. Right now offensively I feel that, our players feel that. And we'll improve."

Buccaneers | Bucs to game-plan as if Jalon Daniels starts again; Wednesday key for Mayfield's thumb Mon Oct 19, 12:33 PM
Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles said Monday that Wednesday will be important for evaluating QB Baker Mayfield and his injured thumb. Bowles added that the team will plan as if rookie QB Jalon Daniels is starting again in terms of initial game-planning for the Week 7 game at the Panthers. There is "potentially one more week of Jalon Daniels."

Lions | Brian Branch will be 'pushed' in practice to gauge how much he can play vs. Packers Mon Oct 19, 12:08 PM
Lions S Brian Branch will be pushed in practice this week so the team can get an idea of how much he could play, head coach Dan Campbell said on Monday. Branch was designated for return from injured reserve on Friday, and the Lions had been targeting their Week 7 game against the Packers on Sunday, October 25, for his return.

Saints | Jordyn Tyson makes trip to Paris for Week 7 game Mon Oct 19, 10:51 AM
Saints rookie WR Jordyn Tyson (hamstring) made the trip to Paris ahead of New Orleans' Week 7 game against the Steelers, head coach Kellen Moore said on Monday.
| Footballguys view: Tyson is currently on injured reserve. The fact that he's making the trip suggests his recovery is going well. Remember, Tyson was previously described as "weeks away" from a return, with Week 7 the earliest target. We'll be watching for more. |

Dolphins | Hafley 'foresees' Malik Willis being good to go for Jets week Mon Oct 19, 10:30 AM
Dolphins QB Malik Willis was dealing with something minor when he was not throwing at the team's bye week practice, head coach Jeff Hafley said on Monday. Hafley said Willis should be fine for the week of preparation for the Jets. "I foresee him being good to go," Hafley said.
| Footballguys view: While that might be good news for the Dolphins, it doesn't do much for fantasy investors waiting for the team to unlock Willis' upside. So far, with two touchdown passes vs. four interceptions, Willis' 12.9 fantasy points per game rank 28th in the NFL. |

Dolphins | Caleb Douglas limited Monday, hopes to ramp up as week progresses Mon Oct 19, 10:29 AM
Dolphins rookie WR Caleb Douglas (ankle) will be a limited participant in practice on Monday. The hope is that he can ramp up his involvement as the week progresses.
| Footballguys view: Douglas was ruled out of the Week 5 game against the Bengals with an ankle injury. His seven catches rank third on the team. We'll monitor his progress in the coming days as the Dolphins ramp up preparation for Sunday's game against the Jets. |

Eagles | Jalen Hurts out for season after doctors find multiple blood clots in lungs Mon Oct 19, 10:13 AM
Jalen Hurts will miss the rest of the season after doctors discovered multiple blood clots in the Philadelphia Eagles quarterback's lungs, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport and ESPN's Adam Schefter.
| Footballguys view: Hurts will undergo treatment for the blood clots that will take at least three months, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. After initially being diagnosed with a superficial clot in his calf, Hurts underwent further examination that revealed "a deep vein thrombosis, as well as bilateral pulmonary emboli," the Eagles announced. The team anticipates that Hurts will have the opportunity to resume contact football activities when off the blood thinners. In the meantime, he will remain active around the team and continue to condition. They anticipate no long-term effects. Tanner McKee will continue to start at QB in Hurts' absence. |

Falcons | Falcons sign Andy Dalton to compete with Tua for backup job, release Cooper Rush Mon Oct 19, 10:10 AM
The Falcons are signing veteran QB Andy Dalton, The Athletic's Jeff Jones reported on Monday. Dalton, most recently with the Eagles, will compete with QB Tua Tagovailoa to back up starter Michael Penix Jr. Atlanta is releasing QB Cooper Rush to make room, so undrafted rookie QB Jack Strand stays on the roster.
| Footballguys view: Atlanta will be Dalton's seventh NFL team and his third in the NFC South. The 38-year-old Dalton was traded from Carolina to Philadelphia in March and played in one game for the Eagles, throwing an interception while Jalen Hurts was being checked for a concussion. The Eagles cut him shortly after that, but when Hurts had to go on injured reserve with a blood clot, they wanted Dalton back. Dalton had other offers. The best offer came from the Falcons. |

Colts | Colts relieve GM Chris Ballard of his duties Mon Oct 19, 09:58 AM
The Colts relieved GM Chris Ballard of his duties on Monday. Ballard's tenure produced eight different Week 1 starting quarterbacks from 2017 through 2026: Scott Tolzien, Andrew Luck, Jacoby Brissett, Philip Rivers, Carson Wentz, Matt Ryan, Anthony Richardson (2023 and 2024) and Daniel Jones (2025 and 2026).

Jaguars | Coen on Brian Thomas Jr. sitting second half: 'Guys have to make plays' Mon Oct 19, 08:18 AM
Jaguars head coach Liam Coen addressed WR Brian Thomas Jr. not playing in the second half of Sunday's 34-31 loss to the Texans in London, saying, "Guys have to make plays."
| Footballguys view: CB/WR Travis Hunter had his most productive offensive day of the season, and his expanded role at wide receiver came at the expense of Thomas, who struggled, dropping two passes -- including one that would have given the Jaguars a chance to attempt a long field goal at the end of the first half. Thomas, who had an issue with drops last year, is currently WR91 overall with an average of 4.2 fantasy points per game. |

Giants | Skattebo's fumbles 'were a trend', Giants backfield 'a mess' with four backs Mon Oct 19, 07:56 AM
Giants RB Cam Skattebo's fumbles "were a trend" ahead of his zero-carry outing in Sunday's loss to the Saints, and he "also hadn't been effective."
| Footballguys view: According to The Athletic's Dan Duggan, Skattebo's fumble in the season opener "could have been a killer" even though the ball bounced right back to him. Still, Duggan, who has been suggesting Najee Harris would overtake Skattebo since the veteran's arrival in New York, believes giving Skattebo zero carries "was too severe, but their backfield is a mess, and it's unwieldy to rotate four backs." It's certainly unwieldy for our purposes. It relegates all four to emergency-option status for fantasy investors -- at least until we start to gain some clarity. |
Giants | Skattebo plays 6 snaps in 'clearly an altered rotation', Singletary leads Giants RBs Mon Oct 19, 07:23 AM
Giants RB Devin Singletary led the team's backfield with 29 snaps in Sunday's loss to the Saints, followed by RB Tyrone Tracy Jr. with 26, RB Najee Harris with 11 and RB Cam Skattebo with six.
| Footballguys view: According to ESPN.com's Jordan Raanan, the split was "a little slanted because they were in comeback mode but this was clearly an altered rotation." Still, Raanan reports that Skattebo is expected to be "more in the mix" in Week 7 against the Texans. |

Eagles | Eagles could face Cowboys with 'just Pierce and' Jaydon Blue as Barkley still not practicing Mon Oct 19, 03:00 AM
Eagles RB Saquon Barkley still has not practiced as he works back from the hamstring injury he suffered in the Rams game, and with Tank Bigsby and Will Shipley out for multiple weeks, Philadelphia could go into its Week 7 Monday night game against the Cowboys with just RB Dameon Pierce and RB Jaydon Blue.
| Footballguys view: Pierce has averaged 1.3 and 2.9 yards per carry over the last two weeks, and the Eagles have run 31 times for 57 yards in losses to the Jaguars and Panthers, including 35 yards on 13 carries Sunday. Head coach Nick Sirianni pointed to the Panthers' lead for the lack of runs Sunday, saying, "Obviously, right now we're not running the ball the way we want to." With Jalen Hurts now out for the rest of the season, it's fair to wonder how hard the Eagles will push to get Barkley back in the mix. |

Cowboys | Dak Prescott says no X-rays needed, 'just a bruise' after big hit Mon Oct 19, 02:04 AM
Cowboys QB Dak Prescott said after Sunday's loss to the Packers that he would not need X-rays and that his injury is just a bruise. Head coach Brian Schottenheimer said he considered taking a timeout after Prescott took a big hit one play before his first interception.
| Footballguys view: Green Bay intercepted Prescott's passes twice to thwart second-quarter scoring opportunities. Prescott went 34 of 54 for 258 yards. He threw a 6-yard touchdown pass to Ryan Flournoy with 44 seconds left, but couldn't connect with CeeDee Lamb on a 2-point conversion attempt. Prescott and the Cowboys will try to regroup for a Week 7 showdown with the Eagles. |

Chargers | Harbaugh 'going to look at everything' as McDaniel's OC job in question at 0-6 Sun Oct 18, 08:48 PM
There is "growing buzz" that the Chargers will part ways with offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel after Sunday's 22-6 loss to the Chiefs dropped them to 0-6.
| Footballguys view: The Chargers failed to score a touchdown Sunday, have scored 90 points in six games, and QB Justin Herbert threw his eighth interception of the season. Asked whether McDaniel will call plays when the team returns from its bye to play the Rams in Week 8, head coach Jim Harbaugh said, "We're going to look at everything . . . (the offense) needs to be addressed." If the Chargers make a move, passing-game specialist and former Jets head coach Adam Gase is expected to take over the offense. We'll be watching for more. |

Rams | Blake Grupe leaves stadium on crutches Sun Oct 18, 08:48 PM
The Rams signed PK Blake Grupe to replace Harrison Mevis following his four misses to begin the season. Grupe also replaced punter Ethan Evans on kickoffs, and on his first one, coverage broke down, Grupe went to make a tackle, collided with Arizona's Devin Duvernay, and was removed from the game with a knee injury.
| Footballguys view: After the contest, The Sporting Tribune's Arash Markazi reports that Grupe was using crutches and that his leg is in a brace. In his postgame presser, head coach Sean McVay did not have an update on the injury. "I don't have an update on him," said McVay. "I just know he got his knee." McVay should have more on Monday, but if Grupe is unable to play next week, the team will be on its third kicker in three games. |

Rams WR Davante Adams pulled up in the back of the end zone on the Rams' final drive of Sunday's 18-16 loss to the Cardinals, reached for his left knee, and limped off the field.
| Footballguys view: He did not return, and further specifics of the injury are not yet known. Adams finished with three catches for 39 yards on four targets and has 30 catches for 480 yards and four touchdowns this season. We'll be watching for more on Adams' status as the team begins preparing for a Week 7 game with the Raiders. |

Rams | Kyren Williams on Rams' sputtering offense: 'Probably because I'm not out there' Sun Oct 18, 07:42 PM
Rams RB Kyren Williams, asked after Sunday's 18-16 home loss to the Cardinals why the team couldn't sustain its energy from drive to drive, said: "Can't tell you, bro. Probably because I'm not out there." Williams and RB Blake Corum traded off on a scoring drive against the Bills last week.
| Footballguys view: As ESPN.com's Sarah Barshop pointed out, Williams played 40 offensive snaps to Corum's 16. Williams had 50 rushing yards on 10 carries and 3 catches for 17 yards. Corum had 42 yards on 9 carries and 2 catches for 18 yards and a touchdown. The Rams play the Raiders in Week 7. |

Bills | Dalton Kincaid leaves with rib injury, returns in fourth quarter Sun Oct 18, 07:37 PM
Bills TE Dalton Kincaid left Sunday's 33-30 win over the Raiders with a rib injury but returned in the fourth quarter. Kincaid earlier appeared to catch a touchdown from QB Josh Allen, but it was called back on a holding penalty.
| Footballguys view: Kincaid caught seven passes for 38 yards in Vegas. His team-high eight targets were a welcome development after a three-week stretch where the tight end saw just seven combined targets. The Bills are off in Week 7 and return to play the Ravens in Week 8. |

Raiders | Mayer catches 7 passes for 95 yards in loss to Bills Sun Oct 18, 07:35 PM
Las Vegas Raiders TE Michael Mayer caught 7 passes for 95 yards on 9 targets in Sunday's 33-30 loss to the Buffalo Bills. He was projected for 5.6 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 13.0.
| Footballguys view: As ESPN's Tristan Cockcroft noted, the Raiders are making two tight ends fantasy relevant. Mayer -- second on their positional depth chart -- scored 16.5 fantasy points on nine targets, his third game with at least 12 points in his past four. Coach Klint Kubiak's offense has coaxed a league-leading 64.6 points from tight ends during those four weeks. Mayer was TE5 overall through the end of Sunday's late-afternoon games. His teammate, Brock Bowers, was TE11 with 11 points. |

Raiders | Cousins throws for 313 yards, two touchdowns in loss to Bills Sun Oct 18, 07:35 PM
Las Vegas Raiders QB Kirk Cousins completed 23 of 41 passes for 313 yards with 2 touchdowns and 1 interception in Sunday's 33-30 loss to the Buffalo Bills. He was projected for 17.3 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 19.5.
| Footballguys view: A poor third quarter, in which Cousins threw the only interception of the game, left the Raiders trailing by 10 twice in the second half. Both times, Cousins gave his team a chance. With just under two minutes remaining in the contest, it took two plays for Cousins to find the end zone, hitting Tre Tucker with a 44-yard touchdown (for his second score of the day). Cousins was mostly solid outside of the pick, but too many Raiders mistakes -- some bigger than others -- ultimately sank them. The Raiders face the Rams in Week 7. |

Las Vegas Raiders WR Tre Tucker caught 5 passes for 97 yards and two touchdowns on 7 targets in Sunday's 33-30 loss to the Buffalo Bills. He was projected for 8.2 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 24.2.
| Footballguys view: As USA Today suggested, somebody in the wide receiver room finally answered the bell. Tucker's 11-yard score tied the game at 23, and his diving 44-yard touchdown grab finished a 24-second drive. "I think he's faster than I realize he is, and there are times when I just need to launch, and he'll go get it," Kirk Cousins said when asked about his connection with Tucker. The Raiders play the Rams in Week 7. |

Giants | Harbaugh not ready to name Week 7 starter after McCarthy replaces Winston Sun Oct 18, 07:33 PM
Giants head coach John Harbaugh said on Sunday he is not ready to name a starting quarterback for Week 7 at the Texans. QB J.J. McCarthy replaced QB Jameis Winston during Sunday's 34-27 home loss to the Saints, ESPN's Jordan Raanan reported. The Giants' running back situation was also left unsettled after the loss.
| Footballguys view: McCarthy, who was acquired recently via trade, entered early in the fourth quarter and led an impressive comeback attempt. He had an instant connection with tight end Isaiah Likely and star receiver Malik Nabers. McCarthy threw for 243 yards and a touchdown in the fourth quarter alone, leading three scoring drives and getting the Giants to the red zone in the final seconds. We'll be watching this situation closely in the coming days. |

Chiefs | Walker runs for 128 yards, two TDs in win over Chargers Sun Oct 18, 07:30 PM
Kansas City Chiefs RB Kenneth Walker ran 19 times for 128 yards and two touchdowns and also caught 2 passes for 11 yards on 3 targets in Sunday's 22-6 win over the Los Angeles Chargers. He was projected for 21.9 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 26.9.
| Footballguys view: As NFL.com suggested, it wasn't the explosion Walker produced in the season opener, but for yet another week, the former Seahawk proved his star isn't burning out anytime soon. His patience, change of direction, burst, and refusal to go down on first contact made him a nightmare for Chargers defenders to attempt to stop. Walker gets a revenge game in Week 8, with Kansas City playing in Seattle. |

Eagles | WR Makai Lemon leaves briefly with undisclosed injury Sun Oct 18, 07:30 PM
Eagles WR Makai Lemon was sent to the medical tent during the third quarter of Sunday's game against the Panthers due to an unspecified injury.

He added another catch to finish the day with three catches for 19 yards. He was third on the team in targets and finished fourth in receptions. According to CBSSports.com, with Dontayvion Wicks (undisclosed) leaving the game in the final period, Lemon and DeVonta Smith figure to serve as the top WRs available to fill-in QB Tanner McKee the rest of the way. |

Colts | Colts sticking with Daniel Jones as starter after two-INT loss: 'He's got to play better' Sun Oct 18, 07:05 PM
Colts head coach Shane Steichen confirmed after Sunday's 26-20 loss to the Titans that QB Daniel Jones will remain the starting quarterback. "I think he knows he's got to play better," Steichen said. Jones went 22-of-42 for 269 yards with a touchdown and two interceptions, including one in the red zone, and now has six interceptions to four touchdowns this season as the Colts fell to 2-4.
| Footballguys view: As ESPN.com's Stephen Holder notes, Jones hasn't come close to matching the run he had at the start of last season, which was the basis for the Colts giving him a new deal following his ruptured Achilles in December. Jones had two more interceptions Sunday, giving him nine turnovers, one behind Justin Herbert's league-high 10 (he has three lost fumbles to go with the INTs). The turnovers are undermining offensive consistency, which has been a challenge in itself. With Anthony Richardson Sr. the next man up, it appears the Colts are willing to weather more inconsistency from Jones. |
