Ravens | Joe Fagnano 'I think so' on being healthy enough to play Thursday Sun Nov 1, 04:47 PM
Ravens rookie QB Joe Fagnano, asked on Sunday whether he is healthy enough to play Thursday against the Jaguars, said: "I think so."
| Footballguys view: Fagnano took some hard hits in Sunday's loss to the Bills after replacing the Ravens' top two quarterbacks, Lamar Jackson and Tyler Huntley. For now, he's the most likely starter for Thursday's game against the Jaguars. |

Bengals | Gesicki catches 4 passes for 76 yards, a touchdown in win over Titans Sun Nov 1, 04:47 PM
Cincinnati Bengals TE Mike Gesicki caught 4 passes for 76 yards and a touchdown on 6 targets in Sunday's 43-36 win over the Tennessee Titans. He was projected for 6.5 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 15.6.
| Footballguys view: Gesicki has scored a touchdown in six of seven games now, and he should be the clear No. 1 receiving tight end with Tanner Hudson and Erick All Jr. both on injured reserve. He's worth an add for Week 9 if you need a streaming tight end or want to bolster your depth at the position. |

Titans | Dike catches 5 passes for 71 yards, a touchdown in loss to Bengals Sun Nov 1, 04:47 PM
Tennessee Titans WR Chimere Dike caught 5 passes for 71 yards and a touchdown on 6 targets in Sunday's 43-36 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals. He was projected for 2.3 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 15.6.

Titans | Ward throws for 304 yards, two touchdowns in loss to Bengals Sun Nov 1, 04:47 PM
Tennessee Titans QB Cam Ward completed 26 of 40 passes for 304 yards with 2 touchdowns, ran 7 times for 41 yards and lost 1 fumble in Sunday's 43-36 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals. He was projected for 11.6 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 22.3.
| Footballguys view: Ward finally had a good game to give a glimpse of hope that he can still develop into the franchise quarterback the Titans expected when they took him No. 1 overall last year. The Bengals lost No. 1 corner DJ Turner II during the game, but they were already showing leaks in their pass defense earlier in the season. Ward goes into his bye with a chance to convince the Titans to pass on a quarterback when their early first-round pick is on the clock in 2027. |

Bengals | Chase catches 11 passes for 141 yards, a touchdown in win over Titans Sun Nov 1, 04:47 PM
Cincinnati Bengals WR Ja'Marr Chase caught 11 passes for 141 yards and a touchdown on 16 targets in Sunday's 43-36 win over the Tennessee Titans. He was projected for 16.7 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 25.6.

Titans | Pollard runs for 117 yards, two TDs in loss to Bengals Sun Nov 1, 04:47 PM
Tennessee Titans RB Tony Pollard ran 21 times for 117 yards and two touchdowns and also caught 3 passes for 20 yards on 5 targets in Sunday's 43-36 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals. He was projected for 12.8 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 27.2.
| Footballguys view: Pollard was one of the best players on the field for the second straight week, whether we are talking about football or fantasy football. He is a free agent next year, so the Titans should be open to dealing him, but after these last two games, they want to keep him to help Cam Ward's development. It has complicated things for teams that might want in on Jonathan Taylor or Breece Hall, because Pollard looks like he will provide a lot of value for a fraction of the cost of either of those backs. |

Bengals | Higgins catches 10 passes for 155 yards, two touchdowns in win over Titans Sun Nov 1, 04:47 PM
Cincinnati Bengals WR Tee Higgins caught 10 passes for 155 yards and two touchdowns on 11 targets in Sunday's 43-36 win over the Tennessee Titans. He was projected for 14.6 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 32.5.
| Footballguys view: Higgins wasn't just dominant at the catch point, he ran with the conviction of a power running back after the catch. He is surging for fantasy with Joe Burrow slinging it to make up for a poor defense and the lack of a running game. |
Tee Higgins player page
Bengals | Burrow throws for 462 yards, five touchdowns in win over Titans Sun Nov 1, 04:47 PM
Cincinnati Bengals QB Joe Burrow completed 38 of 48 passes for 462 yards with 5 touchdowns and 3 interceptions and ran 3 times for 10 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 43-36 win over the Tennessee Titans. He was projected for 22.4 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 42.5.
| Footballguys view: Burrow's huge numbers were in part due to his three interceptions (all to Amani Hooker) and some poor defense by the Bengals to make this a 43-36 overtime shootout. This team wanted to have a more sound running game and defense to take some of the load off of Burrow's shoulders, but to no avail and to the delight of fantasy teams that drafted him. He'll travel to Madrid to face a waterlogged Falcons defense next week. |

Cardinals | Allgeier runs for 147 yards, one TD, one receiving TD in win over Cowboys Sun Nov 1, 04:40 PM
Arizona Cardinals RB Tyler Allgeier ran 11 times for 147 yards and a touchdown and also caught 5 passes for 44 yards and a touchdown on 5 targets in Sunday's 33-30 win over the Dallas Cowboys. He was projected for 5.3 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 33.6.
| Footballguys view: Allgeier was quiet in the first half, but after Jeremiyah Love (ankle) and Bam Knight (concussion) both left with injuries, he was the team's offense for a couple of drives that turned the game around and may have sunk the Cowboys' season. Allgeier faces a stout Seahawks run defense next week, but should still be a flex play at worst assuming Knight and Love can't go. |

Cardinals | Minshew throws for 188 yards, three touchdowns in win over Cowboys Sun Nov 1, 04:40 PM
Arizona Cardinals QB Gardner Minshew II completed 17 of 23 passes for 188 yards with 3 touchdowns in Sunday's 33-30 win over the Dallas Cowboys. He was projected for 0.1 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 19.5.
| Footballguys view: Minshew should be added in 2QB/Superflex leagues, but he is only a desperation play in Seattle in Week 9, and third-round pick Carson Beck should start as soon as the team deems him ready, so Minshew's rest of season value is uncertain, especially since he won't face Dallas again. |

Cardinals | Wilson catches 8 passes for 111 yards, a touchdown in win over Cowboys Sun Nov 1, 04:40 PM
Arizona Cardinals WR Michael Wilson ran 1 time for 17 yards and also caught 8 passes for 111 yards and a touchdown on 15 targets in Sunday's 33-30 win over the Dallas Cowboys. He was projected for 10.5 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 22.8.
| Footballguys view: Wilson played through a painful rib injury that didn't stop him from laying out for a touchdown in the waning seconds that would have won the game if Chad Ryland hadn't missed the extra point. Wilson contributed to the game-winning field goal drive and should be in lineups even though the Cardinals are traveling to Seattle in Week 9 as long as he is able to play through this injury. |

Cardinals | Brissett held to 119 passing yards in win over Cowboys Sun Nov 1, 04:40 PM
Arizona Cardinals QB Jacoby Brissett completed 10 of 23 passes for 119 yards and 1 interception in Sunday's 33-30 win over the Dallas Cowboys. He was projected for 18.2 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 4.5.
| Footballguys view: Gardner Minshew II led the Cardinals back from a 14-point fourth-quarter deficit, so he should be the Week 9 starter at Seattle -- which means we could see Brissett next week before the game is over. Either way, third-round pick Carson Beck should start as soon as the team thinks he is physically and mentally ready. |

Ravens | Backup QB Tyler Huntley leaves stadium in walking boot Sun Nov 1, 04:37 PM
Ravens QB Tyler Huntley left the stadium in a boot on his foot after Sunday's loss to the Bills. Huntley rode out on the same cart as QB Lamar Jackson, who left with a cast on his hand/thumb and may miss "potentially" the rest of the season.
| Footballguys view: A source told ESPN's Adam Schefter that Huntley suffered what is thought to be a turf toe injury. He is expected to undergo an MRI on Monday to determine how much time, if any, he could miss. The Ravens will discuss adding a quarterback on Monday, but Joe Fagnano is the likely starter for Thursday night's game against the Jacksonville Jaguars. |

Ravens | Minter says Lamar Jackson's thumb injury 'potentially season-ending' Sun Nov 1, 04:37 PM
Ravens QB Lamar Jackson's thumb injury is potentially season-ending, head coach Jesse Minter said on Sunday after the loss to the Bills. Baltimore plays the Jaguars on Thursday night in Week 9.
| Footballguys view: After missing the last three games with a high left ankle sprain, Jackson hurt his thumb on his first snap Sunday. Even if the injury isn't season-ending, there will be a prolonged absence. Adding to the intrigue, backup Tyler Huntley suffered a toe injury. With a short turnaround to a Thursday night game against the Jaguars, Joe Fagnano is the likely starter for Baltimore. |
Ravens | Lamar Jackson to undergo right thumb surgery, go on injured reserve Sun Nov 1, 04:34 PM
Ravens QB Lamar Jackson will undergo surgery on his right thumb and will be placed on injured reserve, head coach Jesse Minter said on Sunday. Minter did not say whether the injury will end Jackson's season. Jackson was ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's loss to the Bills with the thumb injury.

Ravens | Minter says Lamar Jackson's thumb injury 'potentially season ending' Sun Nov 1, 04:33 PM
Ravens head coach Jesse Minter said on Sunday that QB Lamar Jackson's thumb injury is potentially season-ending. Jackson returned to the sideline with a cast on his right thumb and hand during Sunday's loss to the Bills.
| Footballguys view: Jackson has one year left on his contract, and his cap charge for 2027 is over $84 million. Something has got to give as Jackson represents himself, but the Ravens will play hardball after he was only able to give them one healthy month in each of the last two seasons. |

Bills | Josh Allen throws for 289 yards, two touchdowns in win over Ravens Sun Nov 1, 04:26 PM
Buffalo Bills QB Josh Allen completed 21 of 34 passes for 289 yards with 2 touchdowns and 1 interception and ran 7 times for 30 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 36-10 win over the Baltimore Ravens. He was projected for 24.6 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 27.6.

Ravens | Flowers held to 0 catches for 0 yards in loss to Bills Sun Nov 1, 04:26 PM
Baltimore Ravens WR Zay Flowers caught 0 passes for 0 yards on 5 targets in Sunday's 36-10 loss to the Buffalo Bills. He was projected for 16.7 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 0.0.
| Footballguys view: Flowers was a forgotten man after the Ravens lost two quarterbacks. He's just a boom/bust WR3/Flex against the Jaguars on Thursday in what could be a lost season for him for fantasy after he has looked like one of the five best receivers in the game for the fleeting glimpse that we've seen him in the Declan Doyle offense with Lamar Jackson at quarterback. |

Ravens | Jackson held to 0 passing yards in loss to Bills Sun Nov 1, 04:26 PM

Kubiak on Jeanty's two carries: 'That's my call,' still 'a big part of our team' Sun Nov 1, 04:23 PM
Raiders head coach Klint Kubiak said Sunday that RB Ashton Jeanty getting only two carries in the 38-33 win over the Jets was "my call, and Ashton still going to be a big part of our team." Kubiak added that Jeanty's comments about the Jets did not factor into his decision.
| Footballguys view: Jeanty is going to be a flex play for Week 9 against the 49ers along with Mike Washington Jr., who got 25 carries for 83 yards in the game. This is at least in part because Jeanty started out the season at less than 100% and may not be able to get back to top form as he plays through pain this season. If you believe in Jeanty, make an offer for him and if you think that this is the new blueprint for the Raiders backfield, it's time to sell before his value drops more, especially in dynasty leagues. |

Colts | Taylor held to 23 yards on 8 carries in loss to Jaguars Sun Nov 1, 04:10 PM
Indianapolis Colts RB Jonathan Taylor ran 8 times for 23 yards, also caught 4 passes for 24 yards on 5 targets and lost 1 fumble in Sunday's 42-7 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. He was projected for 14.6 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 4.7.
| Footballguys view: The Colts are waving the white flag on the season, and Taylor's numbers will reflect that -- as long as he is with the team. The Giants, Vikings, Bengals, Broncos, and Packers have all been mentioned as possible destinations in a trade, but it's not clear if any of those teams will be willing to meet the Colts' demands in a trade, as they reportedly view Taylor as a franchise cornerstone and tone-setter. If you have Taylor on your fantasy team, root for a trade. It's probably too late to sell high. Seth McGowan is the next man up if Taylor is traded before the Week 9 game against the Cowboys. |

Jaguars | Lawrence throws for 210 yards, three touchdowns in win over Colts Sun Nov 1, 04:10 PM
Jacksonville Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence completed 10 of 14 passes for 210 yards with 3 touchdowns and lost 1 fumble in Sunday's 42-7 win over the Indianapolis Colts. He was projected for 20.5 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 19.4.
| Footballguys view: Lawrence was outstanding just as he was in home blowouts of the Browns and Patriots, and he barely had to throw in the second half in a blowout win. This is lowering the upside for him and the whole passing game in lopsided matchups. Thursday's game at Baltimore could be another, with the Ravens likely forced to start a rookie UDFA quarterback. |
Trevor Lawrence player page
Jaguars | Tuten runs for 104 yards, one TD, 55 receiving, one receiving TD in win over Colts Sun Nov 1, 04:10 PM
Jacksonville Jaguars RB Bhayshul Tuten ran 16 times for 104 yards and a touchdown and also caught 2 passes for 55 yards and a touchdown on 2 targets in Sunday's 42-7 win over the Indianapolis Colts. He was projected for 15.1 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 28.9.
| Footballguys view: Tuten had a long touchdown run that included a broken tackle and he also scored a receiving touchdown for the second straight game. He is trending toward being a fantasy RB1 in the second half of the season playing for a Jaguars team that is routinely blowing out the kind of poor opponents their second half schedule is littered with. |
Bhayshul Tuten player page
Jaguars | Rodriguez runs for 41 yards, one TD in win over Colts Sun Nov 1, 04:10 PM
Jacksonville Jaguars RB Chris Rodriguez Jr. ran 6 times for 41 yards and a touchdown and also caught 1 pass for 17 yards on 1 target in Sunday's 42-7 win over the Indianapolis Colts. He was projected for 5.9 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 12.3.
| Footballguys view: Rodriguez is only going to have fantasy value if Bhayshul Tuten goes down, but with this running game starting to click coming out of the team's bye, he's one of the top backup running backs to carry as a lottery ticket on your bench. He shouldn't be on the waiver wire after this week -- even if you are in a league with only five bench spots. |

Jaguars | Washington held to 1 catch for 16 yards in win over Colts Sun Nov 1, 04:10 PM
Jacksonville Jaguars WR Parker Washington ran 1 time for 10 yards and also caught 1 pass for 16 yards on 2 targets in Sunday's 42-7 win over the Indianapolis Colts. He was projected for 13.2 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 3.1.
| Footballguys view: Washington was a fantasy bust because the Colts couldn't put up a fight in this game. With UDFA rookie Joe Fagnano poised to start on Thursday against the Jaguars after both Lamar Jackson (thumb) and Tyler Huntley (turf toe) left the game with injuries that will sideline them for multiple weeks, Washington will be a boom/bust WR3/Flex in another game that could get out of hand by halftime. Thursday's game is in Baltimore, but it's worth pointing out that Jacksonville has now blown out the Browns, Patriots, and Colts in three of their four home games. Of the games left on the schedule, only the Bears, Steelers, and rival Texans look like teams that are sure to give the Jaguars a strong fight that will give us a chance at a ceiling game for Washington. At least the other game against the Colts is in Week 18, which is meaningless for fantasy. |

Browns | Watson throws for 324 yards in loss to Steelers Sun Nov 1, 04:10 PM
Cleveland Browns QB Deshaun Watson completed 27 of 39 passes for 324 yards and lost 1 fumble in Sunday's 27-6 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. He was projected for 16.0 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 11.2.
| Footballguys view: The Browns haven't won a regular-season game in Pittsburgh since 2003. Watson is not playing well enough to break that kind of streak. He piled up yards against a prevent defense nursing a 21-point lead, and wasn't able to narrow the gap on the scoreboard. He's a low-ceiling QB2/Superflex and not necessarily worth a roster spot as a backup in 1QB leagues heading down to New Orleans for a Week 9 road game. |

Steelers | Metcalf held to 1 catch for 4 yards in win over Browns Sun Nov 1, 04:10 PM
Pittsburgh Steelers WR DK Metcalf caught 1 pass for 4 yards on 6 targets in Sunday's 27-6 win over the Cleveland Browns. He was projected for 11.1 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 0.9.
| Footballguys view: Metcalf was wide open on a deep ball that could have made his fantasy day, but he bobbled it right into Denzel Ward's hands for Aaron Rodgers' only interception on the day. He has been a boom/bust WR3/Flex so far and a mild disappointment as the Steelers are leaning into being a run-first offense going into their bye after a pass-happy first six games. Metcalf isn't an essential hold in short bench leagues during his bye if you are strong at wide receiver. |

Browns | Fannin catches 10 passes for 154 yards in loss to Steelers Sun Nov 1, 04:10 PM
Cleveland Browns TE Harold Fannin Jr. caught 10 passes for 154 yards on 12 targets and lost 1 fumble in Sunday's 27-6 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. He was projected for 8.1 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 18.4.
| Footballguys view: Fannin was Deshaun Watson's main man against a Steelers defense that was playing prevent for most of the second half nursing a big lead. The tight end has been up and down in his second year, but this result will boost him past where he was ranked in drafts and set him up to be a success for people that stuck with him after Watson barely looked his way in the Week 1 blowout loss to Jacksonville. Fannin will be an easy play as a TE1 on the road against the Saints next week. |

Steelers | Warren runs for 143 yards, one TD in win over Browns Sun Nov 1, 04:10 PM
Pittsburgh Steelers RB Jaylen Warren ran 17 times for 143 yards and a touchdown and also caught 1 pass for 0 yards on 2 targets in Sunday's 27-6 win over the Cleveland Browns. He was projected for 15.1 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 20.8.
| Footballguys view: Rico Dowdle got 15 carries in this game and scored the first rushing touchdown for the Steelers. Pat Freiermuth also vultured a rushing score on a tush push formation play at the goal line. Warren was still a strong RB1 as he is playing as well as any running back in the league for the first-place Steelers heading into their bye. |
Jaylen Warren player page
Vikings | Mason held to 20 yards on 8 carries in loss to Lions Sun Nov 1, 04:10 PM
Minnesota Vikings RB Jordan Mason ran 8 times for 20 yards in Sunday's 19-15 loss to the Detroit Lions. He was projected for 10.7 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 2.0.
| Footballguys view: Aaron Jones Sr. once again played after suffering an aggravation of his nagging knee injury last week, and he arguably outplayed Mason. It doesn't appear that Jones is going away after getting a heavy workload on a gimpy knee for four weeks while Mason was on injured reserve with a thumb injury. The offense is not coming together with Kyler Murray at quarterback, and neither Vikings running back is more than a what-the-heck flex against the Bills next week. With Kyler Murray suffering some hamstring tightness in the loss, there's always a chance that we will see Carson Wentz start Monday night. |
Jordan Mason player page
Lions | Gibbs runs for 153 yards, one TD in win over Vikings, Vaki adds 65 rushing yards Sun Nov 1, 04:10 PM
Detroit Lions RB Jahmyr Gibbs ran 23 times for 153 yards and a touchdown and also caught 2 passes for 15 yards on 4 targets in Sunday's 19-15 win over the Minnesota Vikings. He was projected for 22.0 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 23.8. Backup Sione Vaki gained 65 yards on 11 carries and added a catch for five yards on his only target.
| Footballguys view: Gibbs and the rest of the Lions offense met the physical intensity of the Vikings defense and then some in the running game, and the quality of the running game dictated the result of this hard-fought divisional battle. The Vikings' blitz of blitzes doesn't matter as much when they can't stop you from running the ball for first downs. Sione Vaki becomes a priority pickup as long as bench size allows backup running backs to be carried with the Lions morphing into an "establish it" team in Week 8. |

DJ Turner II's injury 'MASSIVE' for thin secondary as Ward picks on Josh Newton for TD Sun Nov 1, 04:06 PM
Bengals CB DJ Turner II's injury is "MASSIVE given the depth issues in this secondary" for Cincinnati. Titans QB Cam Ward picked on Bengals CB Josh Newton for a touchdown in Sunday's game, with Newton never turning around to look for the ball.
| Footballguys view: Next week, the Bengals will face Drake London in Madrid. If Turner can't go, London could have one of his patented week-winning fantasy supernova games. |

Raiders | Bowers catches 7 passes for 92 yards, two touchdowns in win over Jets Sun Nov 1, 04:05 PM
Las Vegas Raiders TE Brock Bowers caught 7 passes for 92 yards and two touchdowns on 10 targets in Sunday's 38-33 win over the New York Jets. He was projected for 15.2 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 24.7.
| Footballguys view: Both of Bowers' touchdowns were short passes with one diving grab in the end zone and one nifty score where Klint Kubiak brought him across the formation at the snap and the defense lost him at the goal line. After missing the first two games, he has become the clear No. 1 tight end and "Jaxon Smith-Njigba" for Kubiak in Las Vegas. He'll face the 49ers, who are coming off their bye, next week. |

Jets | Mitchell catches 7 passes for 142 yards, a touchdown in loss to Raiders, Cooper held out of box score Sun Nov 1, 04:05 PM
New York Jets WR Adonai Mitchell caught 7 passes for 142 yards and a touchdown on 9 targets in Sunday's 38-33 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders. He was projected for 4.5 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 23.7. WR Omar Cooper Jr. was held without a catch.
| Footballguys view: Mitchell was emerging as a key target for Geno Smith after reports all offseason that the two had strong chemistry on the practice field. A finger injury sidelined him for four weeks and first-round pick Omar Cooper Jr. appeared to overtake Mitchell with back-to-back games with 100 yards and a touchdown in his first two full games. Cooper ran the same number of routes as Mitchell, but did not get a target. Both will be boom/bust WR3/Flex plays in a tough matchup against the Chiefs next week. |

Raiders | Cousins throws for 247 yards, three touchdowns in win over Jets Sun Nov 1, 04:05 PM
Las Vegas Raiders QB Kirk Cousins completed 19 of 26 passes for 247 yards with 3 touchdowns and ran 5 times for 3 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 38-33 win over the New York Jets. He was projected for 16.1 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 28.2.
| Footballguys view: Cousins got a tush push score after a Connor Heyward fourth-down attempt in that formation failed. Add that to his three touchdown passes (two to Brock Bowers) and you have an elite QB1 fantasy day if you used him as a streamer or Brock Purdy bye-week coverage. The Raiders are 4-4 and could be buyers at the trade deadline with a clarifying stretch of San Francisco, Seattle, and Denver up next on the schedule. The Chiefs will take aim at the feeble Jets defense led by likely lame-duck head coach Aaron Glenn. |

Jets | Allen runs for 147 yards, one TD in loss to Raiders Sun Nov 1, 04:05 PM
New York Jets RB Braelon Allen ran 21 times for 147 yards and a touchdown and also caught 2 passes for 6 yards on 2 targets in Sunday's 38-33 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders. He was projected for 16.3 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 22.3.
| Footballguys view: Allen once again ran like an entrenched NFL starting running back while Breece Hall rounds back into shape after a Week 3 quadriceps injury. Hall should be back next week against the Chiefs, but he also could be the subject of trade talks with the 22-year-old Allen balling out. Allen did leave briefly with a leg injury in the fourth quarter, so we'll be monitoring that with Hall due back. |

Raiders | Tucker held to 0 catches for 0 yards in win over Jets Sun Nov 1, 04:05 PM
Las Vegas Raiders WR Tre Tucker caught 0 passes for 0 yards on 1 target in Sunday's 38-33 win over the New York Jets. He was projected for 10.4 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 0.0.
| Footballguys view: Tucker hadn't posted lower than four catches for 41 yards in a game since a two-catch, 27-yard Week 1 dud. The Raiders had a ton of success against a Jets defense that had trouble covering Brock Bowers and Michael Mayer. The tight end duo combined for 12 catches, 145 yards, and two scores, which made Tucker an afterthought in the passing game. He's still at worst a what-the-heck WR3/Flex against the 49ers next week with three elite WR1 games under his belt so far this season. Don't drop him out of frustration if you finally played him this week after benching him in his spike weeks. |

Cardinals | WR Reggie Virgil injured in the fourth quarter vs. Cowboys Sun Nov 1, 04:01 PM
Cardinals WR Reggie Virgil was injured on a play in the fourth quarter of Sunday's game against the Cowboys with 2:23 left. He did not return.
| Footballguys view: Virgil collided hard with the base of the goalpost while diving for a deep pass in the fourth quarter. He was in significant pain and had to be carted off the field to the locker room. The injury added to a heavily depleted Arizona wide receiver room that also saw Kendrick Bourne exit with an ankle injury during the same matchup. We'll follow up as needed. |

Buccaneers | Gainwell runs for 140 yards in win over Falcons Sun Nov 1, 03:56 PM
Tampa Bay Buccaneers RB Kenny Gainwell ran 25 times for 140 yards in Sunday's 16-0 win over the Atlanta Falcons. He was projected for 5.9 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 14.0.
| Footballguys view: Gainwell came out of last week with a hip injury after getting 14 carries for 88 yards. He missed Wednesday's practice and was limited on Thursday, but got in a full practice on Friday with a questionable designation. Coming into Sunday, the reports on his game status were optimistic and he showed why. The Bucs are going to lean into the run game and Gainwell is proving that he can handle a big load even though, like Bucky Irving, he's not built like a traditional workhorse back at around 5-foot-9 and 200 pounds. Gainwell is a priority pickup in leagues with adequate bench size to carry backup running backs. |

Buccaneers | Mayfield held to 0 passing yards in win over Falcons Sun Nov 1, 03:56 PM
Tampa Bay Buccaneers QB Baker Mayfield completed 0 of 3 passes for 0 yards in Sunday's 16-0 win over the Atlanta Falcons. He was projected for 15.7 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 1.4.
| Footballguys view: The Bucs could not have scripted a better first two games for Mayfield's previously dislocated thumb on his throwing hand. He has thrown 14 passes over the last two weeks to greatly lower the chances of some sort of setback with the injury. Mayfield is going to be a fantasy disappointment this season as a low-ceiling QB2/Superflex in a running-game/defense-based Bucs team that is back in the thick of the NFC South after starting 1-5. Todd Bowles is off of the plank and the team is rallying in a blueprint that reflects his personality. |

Falcons | Pitts held to 2 catches for 6 yards in loss to Buccaneers Sun Nov 1, 03:56 PM
Atlanta Falcons TE Kyle Pitts Sr. caught 2 passes for 6 yards on 5 targets in Sunday's 16-0 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He was projected for 7.7 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 1.6.
| Footballguys view: Pitts was wide open for a play that could have been a long score if he hadn't been overthrown, and he would have overcome the biblical rainstorm that made it nearly impossible for both run games to function in this contest. Pitts should still be in fantasy lineups next week against a Bengals defense that just gave up a big game to Titans tight end Gunnar Helm. |
