| Footballguys view: In 2025, Moody was 19 of 23 (82.6%) on field goals, including 2 of 2 from 50 yards or longer. |

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

Saints | Saints release K Daniel Carlson Tue Nov 3, 04:14 PM
The Saints released K Daniel Carlson on Tuesday. The ninth-year kicker's release came as New Orleans also claimed RB Audric Estime off waivers from the Browns.
| Footballguys view: Carlson hit all of this field goals up to 49 yards with the Saints, but was 3 of 7 on attempts from 50-plus yards. His release ends his tenure with the Saints after seven games. |

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

Bears | Luther Burden plays 3 of 21 heavy-personnel snaps as Bears drop 3-WR sets with lead Tue Nov 3, 03:57 PM
Bears WR Luther Burden III played 3 of 21 snaps in heavy personnel in Monday's win over the Seahawks.
| Footballguys view: When the Bears established a lead, they went away from 3-WR sets, which partially explains Burden's splits between halves this season. He ranks WR3 in yards per route run in first halves and WR61 in second halves. Burden is the WR24 on WR7 usage in games with Caleb Williams this year, so Yahoo's Hayden Winks suggests it's no reason to panic. Burden is an upside WR2/3 despite the obvious inconsistency. |

Ravens | Joe Fagnano will start Thursday night vs. the Jaguars, Jesse Minter announces Tue Nov 3, 03:38 PM
Ravens head coach Jesse Minter announced on Tuesday that rookie QB Joe Fagnano will start Thursday night's Week 9 game against the Jaguars.
| Footballguys view: Fagnano has been dealing with a right ankle injury and wore a brace on his ankle at practice on Tuesday. Lamar Jackson and Tyler Huntley have been ruled out for Thursday. The Ravens added Austin Reed and Kedon Slovis for depth. But Fagnano is currently the best hope for getting the most out of the team's other skill players. |

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

Panthers | Darren Waller off to the side at Tuesday's practice Tue Nov 3, 02:10 PM
Panthers TE Darren Waller was off to the side at the start of practice on Tuesday. Waller was also on the side with trainers at practice two weeks ago.
| Footballguys view: Waller has been a hit-or-miss streaming option in Carolina this season, delivering two touchdowns in Week 2 and a 50-yard scoring catch in Week 7. While those performances show us the high end, Waller hasn't hit that often. As CBSSports.com notes, he has one 50-yard effort in his five other appearances with 15 catches for 209 yards on 25 targets. The Panthers play the Broncos in Week 9. |

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

Ravens | Joe Fagnano walks onto practice field wearing brace on injured right ankle Tue Nov 3, 01:44 PM
Ravens rookie QB Joe Fagnano walked onto the practice field on Tuesday wearing a brace around his injured right ankle. Fagnano was described as having 'a chance' to play Thursday against the Jaguars, with Lamar Jackson and Tyler Huntley ruled out.
| Footballguys view: Fagnano's availability isn't a sure thing, but the Ravens don't have great options here. The Ravens signed Austin Reed to their practice squad on Monday, and he could find himself in the mix for playing time during his first days with the team. Baltimore also signed Kedon Slovis off Green Bay's practice squad for additional depth. Stay tuned. This could go right up to game time. |

Raiders | Mark Davis: 'Absolutely no pressure whatsoever' to start Fernando Mendoza Tue Nov 3, 01:32 PM
Raiders owner Mark Davis said in a Monday interview with CNBC that there is "absolutely no pressure whatsoever" from him to start rookie QB Fernando Mendoza, the No. 1 overall pick, as reported by Adam Hill of the Las Vegas Review-Journal.
| Footballguys view: Davis said the team was "fortunate to get Kirk Cousins as someone who could bridge the gap" and added, "I think we're fortunate he doesn't have to go out and play." Davis said Mendoza is "picking it up great" and that he is "really happy with the way it is with Fernando right now, and we'll see what happens." Mendoza has made one appearance this season, completing 6-of-8 passes for 48 yards in mop-up duty in the Week 5 loss to the Patriots. |

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

Seahawks | Leonard Williams has a chance to play Sunday vs. Cardinals Tue Nov 3, 01:07 PM
Seahawks DT Leonard Williams (stinger) has a chance to play Sunday against the Cardinals, head coach Mike Macdonald said on Tuesday.

Seahawks | Rashid Shaheed has 'a chance to play' Sunday vs. Cardinals Tue Nov 3, 01:07 PM
Seahawks WR Rashid Shaheed (knee) has a chance to play Sunday against the Cardinals, head coach Mike Macdonald said on Tuesday.

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

Ravens | Ja'Kobi Lane has 'clearly assumed the No. 3 wide receiver role' Tue Nov 3, 09:45 AM
Ravens rookie WR Ja'Kobi Lane played 33 snaps and caught one pass in Sunday's Week 8 loss to the Bills. Since returning from injury, Lane "has clearly assumed the No. 3 wide receiver role," relegating WR Devontez Walker to eight snaps.
| Footballguys view: As CBSSports.com notes, Lane ran 21 routes on 30 dropbacks by Baltimore's three quarterbacks, but his one target represented just a 3.8 percent share. With Lamar Jackson (thumb) and Tyler Huntley (toe) injured, Joe Fagnano (ankle) could be in line to start Thursday night against the Jaguars. It would be a downgrade for all Ravens skill players. |

Cowboys | Jerry Jones says Dak Prescott is healthy Tue Nov 3, 09:41 AM
Cowboys QB Dak Prescott is healthy, owner Jerry Jones said on Tuesday on 105.3 The Fan. "I thought he played well (Sunday) considering the protection and us not being able to get the running game going," Jones said of Prescott's performance in Sunday's loss to the Cardinals.
| Footballguys view: For the second time this season, Prescott threw for fewer than 200 yards (195) against Arizona. His touchdown pass required a one-handed catch from WR Ryan Flournoy. Prescott was able to use his legs, picking up his first rushing touchdown of the season, but, as ESPN.com's Todd Archer suggested, for a team with so many playmakers, the Cowboys have been kept in check in three of their past four games. |

Ravens | Rapoport expects Ravens to 'consider some QB trades,' names Bagent, Brissett Tue Nov 3, 09:31 AM
With Ravens QB Lamar Jackson headed to injured reserve and QB Tyler Huntley (toe) expected to miss time, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport said, "I do expect the Baltimore Ravens to go out and consider some QB trades," naming Bears QB Tyson Bagent and Cardinals QB Jacoby Brissett as potential options.
| Footballguys view: Bagent has six career starts, including two this season, while Brissett started every game this season before being demoted this week to No. 3 on Arizona's depth chart behind Gardner Minshew and rookie Carson Beck; Ravens QB coach Israel Woolfork coached Brissett last year in Arizona. Baltimore signed QB Austin Reed to the practice squad on Monday, and he will likely back up rookie Joe Fagnano for Thursday's game against the Jaguars, assuming Fagnano is healthy enough to play. The team is also adding QB Kedon Slovis, whom they're signing off the Packers' practice squad. |

Texans | Stroud turned down deal similar to Lawrence's, in line for 'a bigger one' Tue Nov 3, 09:22 AM
Texans QB C.J. Stroud turned down a contract extension this summer similar to the one Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence signed, according to sources.
| Footballguys view: Stroud is in line for a bigger deal amid a 2027 quarterback market on the rise. "He's making himself a lot of money. New tax bracket," one source said of Stroud's decision to bet on himself. So far, it's working out well for Stroud -- and fantasy investors. Stroud is currently QB12 on a points-per-game basis. The Texans face the Chargers in Week 9. |

Vikings | Vikings doing 'full eval' on Kyler Murray's sore hamstring before Week 9 Tue Nov 3, 08:15 AM
The Vikings are doing a "full eval" on QB Kyler Murray's hamstring soreness. Head coach Kevin O'Connell said on Monday that he did not yet have clarity on whether the injury would affect Murray's availability for the Week 9 Monday Night Football game against the Bills.
| Footballguys view: O'Connell said that Murray will remain the starter if he's healthy enough to play. Carson Wentz will be standing by. The Vikings will hit the practice field for the first time this week on Thursday. Stay tuned. |
Ravens | Joe Fagnano has 'a chance' to play Thursday with Jackson, Huntley ruled out Tue Nov 3, 06:22 AM
Ravens rookie QB Joe Fagnano is dealing with an ankle injury but has "a chance" to play Thursday night against the Jaguars, coach Jesse Minter said.
| Footballguys view: QBs Lamar Jackson (thumb) and Tyler Huntley (toe) have both been ruled out for the Week 9 game. The Ravens are signing Kedon Slovis to their 53-man roster from the Packers' practice squad. Hence, the options for Thursday night against Jacksonville now include Fagnano, Austin Reed, and Slovis, who played in two games last season with Arizona. |

Patriots | Vrabel has 'no expectations yet' for Hunter Henry after early exit Tue Nov 3, 06:00 AM
Patriots TE Hunter Henry left Sunday's 24-19 win over the Dolphins in the second quarter with a foot injury after catching his third pass, tested the foot before halftime and again early in the third quarter, and was ruled out midway through the fourth. Head coach Mike Vrabel did not provide an update on Monday: "I don't have any expectations yet. We'll see how he responds here. He wasn't able to finish the game. So, we'll see where he is. I know Hunter will do everything that he can to get back to help us, and we'll go from there."
| Footballguys view: With Henry out, rookie TE Eli Raridon and the wide receiver group saw an uptick in snaps. Wednesday's first practice of the week ahead of the Week 9 game against the Packers will provide further information. |

Rams | Matthew Stafford dealing with right elbow soreness after win over Chargers Tue Nov 3, 12:05 AM
Rams QB Matthew Stafford is dealing with soreness in his right elbow, the team said on Monday. Stafford was seen with ice on his right elbow after Sunday's win over the Chargers.
| Footballguys view: How the soreness affects his participation in practice this week will be worth watching ahead of the Rams' Week 9 game at the Commanders. That said, Stafford has a long history of playing through injuries. It will take more than soreness to keep him off the field. |

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

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

Chargers | David Njoku 'likely' to return to practice this week Mon Nov 2, 07:15 PM
Chargers TE David Njoku likely will return to practice this week, head coach Jim Harbaugh said on Monday. Njoku went on injured reserve after injuring his fibula in Week 2 and has missed the past five games. He caught six of eight targets for 67 yards before the injury. The Chargers have leaned on TEs Oronde Gadsden and Charlie Kolar in his absence.

Seahawks QB Drew Lock, Seattle's QB2, is inactive for Monday night's game against the Bears after being listed as questionable with a right elbow injury. For the second straight week, Lock will dress as the emergency third quarterback, meaning he can only play if both QB Sam Darnold and QB Jalen Milroe go down. Milroe serves as Darnold's backup.

Cowboys | Malachi Lawrence's ankle injury 'could be a few weeks' Mon Nov 2, 06:57 PM
Cowboys rookie DE Malachi Lawrence suffered an ankle injury in Sunday's 33-30 overtime loss to the Cardinals and could miss multiple weeks, head coach Brian Schottenheimer said on Monday. "Malachi has [an injury] that might be a little bit longer... Looks like it could be a few weeks," Schottenheimer said, adding that the team will do more testing and that Lawrence's injury is "a little different" from the ankle injuries to TE Jake Ferguson and CB Joey Porter Jr. Lawrence, who had taken over a starting outside linebacker job over the last three games, played 38 snaps with four quarterback pressures on Sunday and has 13 tackles, three quarterback hits and a sack in eight games. With Lawrence set to miss time, the Cowboys' OLB room includes Rashan Gary, Donovan Ezeiruaku, James Houston, Von Miller and Tyrus Wheat.

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

Cardinals | Kendrick Bourne's ankle injury 'not looking good,' possibly season-ending Mon Nov 2, 04:42 PM
Cardinals head coach Mike LaFleur said on Monday that WR Kendrick Bourne's ankle injury is not looking good and could possibly be season-ending.
| Footballguys view: Bourne needed help walking on the sideline and was ruled out with the injury during Sunday's win over the Cowboys. Reggie Virgil was also hurt in Dallas, so the Cowboys will be thin at wideout behind Michael Wilson, who is playing with two broken ribs. Simi Fehoko and Devin Duvernay are the healthy receivers on the regular roster. We'll be looking for more on the team's plans at the position in coming days. |

The Ravens signed QB Austin Reed to their practice squad on Monday after QBs Lamar Jackson and Tyler Huntley were both injured in Sunday's loss to the Bills. Rookie QB Joe Fagnano is expected to start Thursday night's Week 9 game against the Jaguars, as Jackson may be out for the season and Huntley is reportedly dealing with turf toe.
| Footballguys view: Fagnano completed 10-of-21 passes for 91 yards with an interception in his debut on Sunday. Reed spent time with Baltimore in training camp and previously played under Ravens offensive coordinator Declan Doyle in Chicago in 2025. |

Eagles | Sirianni: 'Tanner is our guy,' McKee stays Eagles' starting QB Mon Nov 2, 04:20 PM
Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni said on Monday that the team is sticking with QB Tanner McKee as its starter. "Tanner is our guy. We're not making any changes there," Sirianni said.
| Footballguys view: The decision comes after Philadelphia's 27-10 loss to the Commanders on Sunday. Of course, it's not like the team has an array of options. The Eagles mustered just 268 yards of offense in Washington. The running game was held to 91 yards, and McKee couldn't hold up against the Commanders' pressure. Washington racked up a season-best five sacks as McKee was pressured 20 times (46.5% pressure rate), and it seemed as though he was under duress far more than that. Philadelphia plays the Giants in Week 9. |

| Footballguys view: Harbaugh said he left a message for Strunk but never spoke to her. He said the Giants' policy is to overturn every stone, that they aren't part of any "secret society oath" that only GMs can call GMs about trades, and that they're not apologizing for any communications they have to try to make moves. |

Seahawks | Rookie Jadarian Price activated, Charbonnet to debut Monday vs. Bears Mon Nov 2, 04:05 PM
The Seahawks activated rookie RB Jadarian Price from injured reserve ahead of Monday night's game against the Bears.

You're likely taking your chances if you rely on either, but it's safe to assume those doing so aren't doing it by choice. |

Cowboys | Rookie S Caleb Downs in concussion protocol ahead of Week 9 at Colts Mon Nov 2, 03:58 PM
Cowboys rookie S Caleb Downs is in the concussion protocol, head coach Brian Schottenheimer said on Monday.
| Footballguys view: Downs must go through the five-step return-to-participation process and will have a full week to try to get cleared before the Week 9 game at the Colts on Sunday. He played 53 defensive snaps in Sunday's loss to the Cardinals, recording four tackles, including a goal-line stop of RB Jeremiyah Love on fourth-and-goal. Downs was limited in practice on Wednesday and Thursday last week with an ankle injury. |
