Browns | Harold Fannin Jr. will play Sunday, Monken says 'He'll be fine' Fri Nov 6, 01:21 PM
Browns TE Harold Fannin Jr. will play in Sunday's game against the Saints, head coach Todd Monken said on Friday. "He'll be fine. Just a little sore," Monken said. Fannin practiced on Friday after he was added to Thursday's injury report with a groin injury.

Browns QB Shedeur Sanders will start at quarterback in Sunday's Week 9 game at the Saints, head coach Todd Monken said on Friday. Sanders took the first-team reps on Wednesday and was described as likely to start on Thursday before Monken made it official.
| Footballguys view: Deshaun Watson returned to practice on Friday, but Sanders' full week of practice will give him a chance to start against the Saints this week. We haven't seen how Sanders will look in Monken's offense alongside rookies KC Concepcepcion and Denzel Boston. Last year, in Kevin Stefanski's offense, he clearly preferred targeting tight ends, helping boost Harold Fannin to high-end TE1 production. Sanders' familiarity with Fannin should help him this week, while Concepcion and Boston fall a bit in the ranks, becoming boom-or-bust WR3s. |

The Patriots have listed TE Hunter Henry (foot) as questionable for Sunday's Week 9 game against the Packers. Henry was present at Friday's practice after missing the Wednesday and Thursday sessions.
| Footballguys view: Henry hadn't practiced since exiting Week 7's game with a foot injury, so it was good to see him back out there on Friday. He'll be a touchdown threat given his red-zone usage, making him a high-end streamer if he clears the injury report. If he doesn't, rookie Eli Raridon becomes an interesting streaming option. Raridon only caught one pass last week, but he ran a route on 74% of Drake Maye's dropbacks and pulled four targets. With an afternoon kickoff, Raridon is the easiest pivot option for Henry managers. We'll hope for more information before the early games kick off, but Henry managers without a better option should pick up Raridon ASAP. |

The Patriots have ruled RB TreVeyon Henderson (illness) out for Sunday's Week 9 game against the Packers. Earlier Friday, Henderson revealed he had been hospitalized for 'unexplained neurological symptoms' and said testing had been 'reassuring.'
| Footballguys view: No surprise here after Henderson's public message earlier today regarding his neurological health issues. Henderson hopes to return soon and can sit on fantasy benches until then. |
TreVeyon Henderson player page
The Patriots have ruled WR A.J. Brown (knee) out for Sunday's Week 9 game against the Packers. Brown did not practice Wednesday or Thursday. He was also ruled out for last Sunday's game at the Dolphins.
| Footballguys view: Reports last week said Brown would likely miss multiple weeks, and he's now out for the second straight week. Brown will attempt to return to practice next week. But with a Week 11 bye, fantasy managers should brace for another week of inactivity and a Week 12 return, at best. |

Cardinals RB Bam Knight (concussion) won't play Sunday against the Seahawks, head coach Mike LaFleur said on Friday. Knight did not participate in practice on Friday.
| Footballguys view: With Knight out and Jeremiyah Love on IR, Tyler Allgeier will get the start this week with limited backup work. Allgeier was fantasy's RB1 last week, posting huge numbers against a soft Dallas defense. This week's matchup against Seattle will be tougher. Allgeier is a volume-based RB2 in this matchup, and his production likely hinges on his ability to find pay dirt. |

Packers DE Micah Parsons was getting ready on Friday for his third day of practice since his return. He had practiced Wednesday and Thursday, and was limited Wednesday as part of a ramp-up after being 'cleared to go full go.'

Eagles RB Saquon Barkley was practicing on Friday, the team's last practice before Sunday's game against the Giants. Barkley, who has been dealing with hamstring and back issues, did not practice Wednesday before returning to practice Thursday.
| Footballguys view: With the Eagles shopping most of their vets, it's peculiar that they keep playing an injured Barkley while maintaining the stance that he won't be traded. He split touches with Elijah Mitchell last week and looked clearly limited by his injuries. As he gets healthier, his role may grow. But fantasy managers should hope the Eagles explore a trade and put him in a better offensive ecosystem. If he's active this week, it's hard to trust him as anything more than a shaky RB2. |

Rams DE Myles Garrett, working his way back from knee surgery that landed him on injured reserve, is on track to be activated ahead of Sunday's game at the Commanders, according to the source and NFL Network's Mike Garafolo. Garrett has practiced all week, and "all indications point towards him playing."

Eagles TE Dallas Goedert is among the contract-year veterans other teams perceive to be available ahead of the trade deadline, Sports Illustrated reported. With Philadelphia on a six-game losing streak, WR Hollywood Brown, CB Riq Woolen, CB Michael Carter II and QB Tanner McKee are also in that group. DT Moro Ojomo, also in a contract year, is "a different story," as GM Howie Roseman has given other teams the impression he will try to sign him long term.
| Footballguys view: The Eagles are having a fire sale at the trade deadline in what looks like a lost season. Goedert has been a long-time Eagle, and his role as one of their few healthy pass catchers keeps him in the TE1 discussion. It's hard to imagine a trade that increases his fantasy value, but we'll update here if one happens. |
Dallas Goedert player page
Buccaneers WR Emeka Egbuka (foot) is questionable for Sunday night's Week 9 game at Chicago and is "more of a game time decision," coach Todd Bowles said on Friday. Egbuka practiced on Friday and could play Sunday.
| Footballguys view: Egbuka's second season has been marred by injuries, and this foot injury has been another hurdle. Egbuka has missed each of the last two games Baker Mayfield has started, and Mayfield has been held to just seven completions over those two games. Egbuka flashed early in his rookie season, but his numbers since those first few weeks have been otherwise disappointing. He scored a receiving and a rushing touchdown while playing with Jalon Daniels, which helped pad his numbers a bit. But his 17-game pace of 680 receiving yards this season makes him more of a WR3 than the WR2 he was drafted to be. The Bears are big favorites on Sunday night, which could push them into a position where they'll have to pass. If Egbuka can go, he's a risky WR3. If he can't, expect rookie Ted Hurst III to see some extra work as the team's X receiver. |

Browns TE Harold Fannin Jr. is practicing on Friday after he was added to Thursday's injury report with a groin injury. Fannin was limited on Thursday. The Browns play at the Saints on Sunday.
| Footballguys view: Fannin is coming off a massive outing, catching 10 passes for 154 yards last week. Thursday's addition to the injury report was alarming, but it's good to see him back on the field Friday. We'll wait for more information regarding Fannin's status after practice. But assuming he's active, he can be started as a mid-tier TE1. |

Giants RB Cam Skattebo (hamstring) was in uniform at practice on Friday but "didn't seem to be doing anything during the open period." Skattebo worked on the side with a trainer on Wednesday and Thursday. Head coach John Harbaugh called him "day-to-day" with the hamstring injury on Monday.
| Footballguys view: It sure seems like Skattebo isn't playing this week after suffering a hamstring injury in Week 7's overtime win. Skattebo iced the game with a big run but collapsed while opening up his stride in the open field. He missed back-to-back practices to start the week coming out of the bye, and doesn't look like he'll return at full capacity today. With Tyrone Tracy Jr. on IR, Devin Singletary is the last man standing. Singletary has been reliable in spot starts throughout his NFL career. The Giants will likely elevate Eric Gray before Sunday's game. But if Skattebo can't go, Singletary becomes a fun volume-based RB2 against the Eagles. |
Cam Skattebo player page
Giants WR Malik Nabers (knee) was back at practice on Friday. Nabers did not practice on Thursday, when he worked on the side with a trainer and said "I'll be good" for Sunday's game against the Eagles.
| Footballguys view: A mid-week DNP is typically concerning, but Nabers and the Giants have downplayed it, and his return to practice on Friday is a good sign. Nabers' 2025 season ended with an ACL tear, and he complicated his health with an early-season shoulder injury. However, he's played through both and looked like his old self the last few weeks. If he's active, start him as a WR1. |
Malik Nabers player page
Browns QB Deshaun Watson returned to practice on Friday after missing two days with a concussion. Watson had been placed in the concussion protocol on Wednesday. The Browns play the Saints on Sunday.
| Footballguys view: Watson finished last week's game after a big hit but started showing concussion symptoms the next day. A return to practice could put him on track to play this Sunday. Luckily, the Browns play early. If Watson is cleared to play, we'll know before most of the games kick off. If he can't go, Shedeur Sanders would almost certainly start. |
Deshaun Watson player page
Buccaneers WR Emeka Egbuka (foot) was practicing on Friday and could play Sunday against the Bears. Egbuka did not practice during the open portion on Wednesday but returned on Thursday as a full participant.
| Footballguys view: Full participation on Thursday likely means Egbuka will play on Sunday, especially if he practices on Friday. The Buccaneers play on Sunday night, which could make managers uneasy. But we'll likely get news after practice that Egbuka has cleared the injury report and will be active after missing last week's game. |

Commanders WRs Treylon Burks (foot) and Dyami Brown (calf) were not seen at practice on Friday, which the beat writer said "doesn't bode well" for their statuses for Sunday's game against the Rams. The beat writer figures WR Van Jefferson would start at outside receiver if Burks and Brown can't play. Jefferson started seven games for the Titans last season.

Jets TE Mason Taylor (neck) is set to play in Sunday's game at Kansas City, head coach Aaron Glenn said on Friday.
| Footballguys view: Taylor is pretty low on the pecking order in the loaded Jets' offense, but we saw his upside two weeks ago when he caught two touchdowns. He's in the streaming discussion, but more of a "break glass in case of emergency" play than a high-end option. |
Mason Taylor player page
Broncos RB J.K. Dobbins' name came up in trade talks ahead of Tuesday's deadline, SI's Albert Breer reported. A deal could be less likely now that RB RJ Harvey is on injured reserve, according to Breer. Dobbins has struggled this season, with rookie RB Jonah Coleman emerging in the backfield.
| Footballguys view: It's interesting that the Broncos appear to be in the market to buy and sell running backs at the trade deadline. They have been rumored to be in trade talks for both Jonathan Taylor and Breece Hall, and Dobbins could be part of the return in one of those deals. Historically, the NFL trade deadline is a letdown. But it seems like there's more smoke regarding contenders and running backs this year than normal. The official deadline is next Thursday at 4:00 p.m. ET, and we'll update here with any trades. |
J.K. Dobbins player page
The Cardinals officially announced the trade of QB Jacoby Brissett to the Ravens on Friday. Arizona did not disclose what draft pick it received in return.
| Footballguys view: After last night's game from Joe Fagnano, it's hard to imagine how things could get much worse for the Ravens. Brissett should help get this offense back on track, hopefully keeping them competitive in case Lamar Jackson returns late in the season. Zay Flowers is the Ravens' most fantasy-relevant pass-catcher and has been a non-factor the last two weeks. There's hope that Brissett can bring him back up to WR1 status. As for Brissett, he probably won't have much value aside from two-QB and superflex leagues. |

A source close to Patriots RB TreVeyon Henderson says the possibility of a stroke has been ruled out, for now, with "no sign" of one from the tests run so far. Henderson has been sidelined and was hospitalized with what he described as 'unexplained neurological symptoms.'

Dolphins RB Jaylen Wright (quadriceps) is one of three players in question for Sunday's game against the Lions. He will practice on Friday and the team will see how it goes. Wright missed Wednesday's practice with the quad injury before returning on Thursday.
| Footballguys view: Wright has been managing a foot injury for most of this season, unrelated to the quadriceps injury he is currently dealing with. Wright may have won the RB2 job out of camp, but Ollie Gordon II has since taken that role from him. Wright needs to get healthy before he can be rostered in fantasy leagues, and likely won't be relevant as long as Gordon is active. |
Jaylen Wright player page
Jets WR Garrett Wilson has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Chiefs due to a concussion. Wilson missed practice again on Thursday.
| Footballguys view: After a couple of quiet games, Wilson bounced back with 12 targets last week, but suffered a concussion during the matchup. The depth of this Jets' offense leads to volatile performances from everyone involved. Adonai Mitchell, Omar Cooper Jr., Kenyon Sadiq, and Mason Taylor will all get projection bumps with Wilson out, but it's unlikely that all four can pay off in a single game. In a tough road matchup against the Chiefs, those four pass-catchers all become boom-or-bust flex options. |
Garrett Wilson player page
Patriots RB TreVeyon Henderson released a statement on Friday revealing that he recently suffered an unexpected medical emergency involving unexplained neurological symptoms that required several days of hospitalization. Henderson said doctors have yet to determine the cause. He was downgraded to out with an illness for last Sunday's game at the Dolphins and was away from the team with the illness on Wednesday.
| Footballguys view: Henderson's statement referred to neurological symptoms that are impacting his physical performance, but the details of the condition are vague. His long-term health and safety matter most right now, and the Patriots will hope their young running back can return soon. While Henderson is out, expect Rhamondre Stevenson to get some extra work, with Corey Kiner mixing in as a change-of-pace option. |

The Falcons ruled out RB Brian Robinson Jr. for Sunday's game against the Bengals in Madrid due to a hamstring injury. Robinson had been limited in practice throughout the week.
| Footballguys view: Robinson has missed the last two weeks. Oddly enough, Bijan Robinson has logged his two worst games of the year in those matchups. A Week 7 matchup against the 49ers and a sloppy storm game against the Buccaneers in Week 8 were frustrating, but this week's matchup against the Bengals should lead to better results. Khalil Herbert should take over as the team's secondary back, and Bijan Robinson can be relied on as a top-three running back. |
Brian Robinson Jr player page
Falcons WR Zachariah Branch (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's Week 9 game against the Bengals, Marc Raimondi reported on Friday. Head coach Kevin Stefanski had said on Monday that Branch would be out this week.
| Footballguys view: Branch also missed last week's game against the Buccaneers, in which Jahan Dotson took on a larger role and recorded the Falcons' biggest reception of the day. Expect the offense to concentrate on Bijan Robinson, Drake London, and Kyle Pitts, as it normally does. But for fantasy managers desperate for a flex play, Dotson always has the chance to break off a big play while Branch is out. |

Cardinals WR Michael Wilson appeared on Thursday's injury report with a not-injury-related rest designation and a ribs notation. Wilson said on Sunday that he has two broken ribs after he got up slowly following a diving attempt against the Cowboys, a game in which he caught eight passes for 111 yards and a touchdown. Arizona visits Seattle on Sunday with Gardner Minshew starting at quarterback.

Vikings WR Justin Jefferson said his obvious frustration during last Sunday's 19-15 loss to the Lions came from "wanting to win." Jefferson engaged in a rare display of frustration late in the game.
| Footballguys view: Jefferson has been a consummate professional throughout his NFL career, but left last week's game without any post-game comments to the media for just the second time in his career. Given the loss and the lackluster offense, it's understandable. With Carson Wentz starting this year, Jefferson might get a target share that makes him a bit happier. |
Justin Jefferson player page
49ers TE George Kittle is skeptical that WR Brandon Aiyuk will "get in" the team facility on Friday. Aiyuk is attempting to lay the foundation for a return to the NFL, and Kittle is at least one 49ers player who has expressed skepticism about Aiyuk's plan.
| Footballguys view: No one really knows what to expect in this situation, but Aiyuk has made the smart move of hiring Drew Rosenhaus as his agent. Aiyuk is over two years removed from NFL action, and didn't look like his peak self in the last taste of action we saw. His likelihood of being relevant this year is extremely thin, but desperate managers in deep leagues can stash him to see how this plays out. |

Baltimore Ravens QB Joe Fagnano completed 10 of 18 passes for 60 yards and 2 interceptions in Thursday's 33-10 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. He was projected for 9.6 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 1.7.

Baltimore Ravens RB Justice Hill ran 9 times for 85 yards and a touchdown and also caught 3 passes for 7 yards on 3 targets in Thursday's 33-10 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. He was projected for 5.3 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 16.7.

Vikings head coach Kevin O'Connell announced on Thursday that QB Carson Wentz will start Monday night's Week 9 game against the Bills because QB Kyler Murray's hamstring injury will keep him sidelined. Murray was hurt late in Sunday's 19-15 loss to the Lions. The injury was ruled a Grade 1 sprain and his prognosis was listed as day-to-day, but O'Connell ruled him out three days early.

Jets RB Breece Hall, set to return from a quad injury Sunday at Kansas City, said his expectation is that he is "still the starter" despite RB Braelon Allen rushing for 504 yards and two touchdowns in five starts in his absence. Offensive coordinator Frank Reich said, "You've got two No. 1 backs. [Hall] is obviously the bell cow. He's our guy, but it will be a mix." Hall said that although he had practiced in recent weeks, his quad was "still getting inflamed" and sore the day after until recently. He also said he believes he and Allen should have been used more evenly early in the season.

Ravens QB Joe Fagnano has his right ankle "heavily wrapped up" ahead of Thursday night's Week 9 game against the Jaguars. If something happens with Fagnano, QB Austin Reed is the backup. Reed was brought in this week after spending the preseason with the Ravens.

Seahawks QB Drew Lock remained a limited participant in practice on Thursday with an elbow injury but is in line to start Sunday against the Cardinals. Lock has been listed as limited on every injury report since Week 6. Head coach Mike Macdonald said on Wednesday that Lock is 'able to throw.'

49ers WR Christian Kirk did not practice on Thursday with a knee injury he apparently suffered in Wednesday's practice. The receivers who "might be" available for Sunday's game against the Raiders are Demarcus Robinson, Jordan Watkins, Brandin Cooks, Jacob Cowing and practice-squad WR KhaDarel Hodge.

Cardinals RB Tyler Allgeier is going to be the lead back Sunday at Seattle, with RB Jeremiyah Love on injured reserve and out for at least the next four games and RB Bam Knight in the concussion protocol. Allgeier was named NFC Offensive Player of the Week after rushing for 147 yards and a touchdown on 11 carries and adding five catches for 44 yards and a touchdown in last Sunday's win over the Cowboys. Head coach Mike LaFleur said he had told Allgeier the Wednesday before that game that he would have a third-down role, before Love and Knight exited with injuries. "He put his cape on and became Superman for us," LaFleur said.

Jaguars RB Bhayshul Tuten (ankle, foot) is active for Thursday night's game at the Ravens after being listed as questionable. Tuten's pregame workout went well and confirmed he would play. RB Chris Rodriguez Jr. "should still see a good bit" of action Thursday night as well.

Commanders DT Jer'Zhan Newton practiced in full for a second straight day on Thursday as he works to come off injured reserve. His 21-day practice window opened last week, and he is returning from a pectoral injury suffered during the preseason. There is no guarantee he returns for Sunday's game against the Rams, but the odds seem better with him working so much in practice. Washington's defensive line is thin, with DT Daron Payne done for the season and Javon Kinlaw also on injured reserve.

Commanders WR Treylon Burks (foot) did not participate in practice on Thursday, his second straight missed session. The beat writer said he would "still guess he plays Sunday" against the Rams, adding that more will be known on Friday.
| Footballguys view: The foot injury had Burks in and out of practice a week ago. Burks caught 3-of-5 targets for 81 yards in the Commanders' Week 8 win over the Eagles. Expect him to be out there in Week 9 against the Rams. We like Burks in the deep flex range for Fantasy GMs in PPR formats. |

Jaguars RB Bhayshul Tuten is good to go for Thursday night's game against the Ravens after his pregame workout. Tuten was listed as questionable with an ankle injury, and ESPN's Jeremy Fowler had reported earlier Thursday that he 'should be' good for the game barring any pregame setbacks.

Broncos S Talanoa Hufanga returned to practice as a limited participant on Thursday. Hufanga has missed the last three games with an ankle injury, and the Broncos will issue any injury designations for Sunday's game at Carolina on Friday. He had 23 tackles, a sack, two interceptions, an interception return for a touchdown and a forced fumble in the first five weeks of the season.

Broncos WR Pat Bryant (ankle), who is on injured reserve, practiced in full on Thursday. Bryant returned to practice on Wednesday, opening his 21-day activation window.
| Footballguys view: There is some optimism Bryant can play against the Panthers in Week 9 (two full practices provide that optimism). Upon his return from this ankle injury, the Broncos may ease him back into action. Bryant is competing for the no.3 spot on the depth chart behind Jaylen Waddle and Courtland Sutton. |

Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes (knee) was a full participant in practice on Thursday. He was also a full participant on Wednesday. The Chiefs host the Jets on Sunday.

Cowboys TE Jake Ferguson (ankle) did not practice on Thursday, his second straight missed session. Dallas is preparing to face the Colts on Sunday.
| Footballguys view: Brevyn Spann-Ford is set to be the top tight end for the Cowboys in Week 9. He took over for an injured Ferguson last week, and Spann-Ford posted four catches (five targets) for 31 yards in Dallas' Week 8 loss to Arizona. We like Spann-Ford as a TE2 with upside if Ferguson is out for the game against the Colts. |
Jake Ferguson player page
Cowboys WR George Pickens (hamstring) was limited at practice again on Thursday. He was also limited on Wednesday. Dallas visits the Colts on Sunday.
| Footballguys view: That's back-to-back limited sessions for Pickens. We'll see if he can get a full session in on Friday. Then, we'll see if the Cowboys make good on what Jerry Jones said in terms of getting Pickens the ball more. |

Rams DE Myles Garrett was at practice again on Thursday. Garrett returned to practice in a limited capacity on Wednesday for his first action since Week 1. The Rams visit the Commanders on Sunday.
