Packers | Josh Jacobs out vs. Vikings; Lloyd, Brooks, Kaleb Johnson active, Strong scratched Sun Nov 15, 11:47 AM
Packers RB Josh Jacobs, who just had surgery on his fractured finger, will not play in Sunday's Week 10 game against the Vikings, though he was not placed on injured reserve. RB Pierre Strong Jr. is a healthy scratch, as the Packers picked RBs Chris Brooks, MarShawn Lloyd and Kaleb Johnson over him. Brooks was activated from injured reserve on Saturday.

Packers | Josh Jacobs not placed on IR after finger surgery, out vs. Vikings Sat Nov 14, 04:26 PM
Packers RB Josh Jacobs, who had surgery on his broken finger on Saturday, was not placed on injured reserve. Jacobs will miss Sunday's game against the Vikings. Green Bay activated RB Chris Brooks from injured reserve on Saturday, giving the team five running backs on the 53-man roster, and the Packers are likely to carry three of their four healthy backs (Brooks, MarShawn Lloyd, Pierre Strong Jr. and Kaleb Johnson) into Sunday's game.

Cowboys | Tyler Goodson placed on IR, Israel Abanikanda elevated to join Javonte Williams Sat Nov 14, 03:01 PM
Cowboys RB Tyler Goodson was placed on injured reserve on Saturday and will miss at least the next four games with knee and ankle injuries. The team had said earlier this week that Goodson would miss multiple weeks.
| Footballguys view: RB Israel Abanikanda was elevated from the practice squad to join RB Javonte Williams in the backfield for Sunday's game against the 49ers. We'll see Abanikanda as a change-of-pace back behind the Cowboys' workhorse (Williams). We've got Williams as an RB1 in Week 10 against the 49ers on Sunday afternoon. |

Panthers | Jonathon Brooks not activated from injured reserve, out for Week 10 Sat Nov 14, 01:45 PM
Panthers RB Jonathon Brooks was not activated from injured reserve on Saturday, so he has been ruled out for Sunday's Week 10 game at the Saints. Brooks remains in his practice window, along with OL Brady Christensen and CB Mike Jackson, who were also not activated.
| Footballguys view: Brooks is getting close to returning, but the Panthers are going to give him more time to heal. He was limited in practice all week, but Brooks is not yet ready to play. That means Chubba Hubbard gets his normal (large) workload in Week 10 against the Saints. We like Hubbard as an RB1 for Fantasy GMs out there. |

Chiefs | Chiefs to hold out Kenneth Walker Sunday at Atlanta, 'want to give him a week' Sat Nov 14, 11:29 AM
The Chiefs are going to hold out RB Kenneth Walker for Sunday's Week 10 game at Atlanta after he injured his groin during Thursday's practice, according to a source. The Chiefs, in the words of the source, "want to give him a week." Walker missed Friday's practice and had been listed as questionable for the game.
| Footballguys view: This injury has been described as a 'tight groin' and it is considered a minor injury. That being said, Walker is going to miss Week 10 against the Falcons. That makes Emmett Johnson an RB1 for Fantasy GMs. Giving him a week for a minor injury means we should see Walker back for practice. Although his Week 11 status is unknown, Walker could be back for the game against the Cardinals. |

Saints | Saints plan to activate Travis Etienne Jr. from IR, in line to return Sunday Sat Nov 14, 11:02 AM
The Saints plan to activate RB Travis Etienne Jr. from injured reserve on Saturday, putting him in line to return to action Sunday against the Panthers. Etienne, who has been out with a hamstring strain, was listed as questionable for the game after a full practice on Friday.
| Footballguys view: Etienne tried to play through this hamstring injury back in Week 3, and he's been shut down since then. Upon his return this week against the Panthers, it's believed that Etienne will be on a snap count as the Saints ease him back into action. That makes him more of an RB4/flex option for Fantasy GMs in Week 10. His return could negatively impact the fantasy production for Audric Estime (who we like as an RB3/flex play himself this week). |

Titans | Packers inquired about Tony Pollard before trade deadline Sat Nov 14, 10:14 AM
The Packers inquired about Titans RB Tony Pollard before the trade deadline, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport and ESPN's Adam Schefter reported.
| Footballguys view: No surprise here, but it is surprising the Titans didn't trade away a veteran back on an expiring deal. The Packers and Broncos both showed interest in Pollard, but no offer was enough to acquire him. The Packers will be without Josh Jacobs (finger) for a few weeks, and they'll piece things together with guys like Kaleb Johnson, Pierre Strong, Marshawn Lloyd, and Chris Brooks. |

Packers | Josh Jacobs has successful finger surgery, 'should be back in the next few weeks' Sat Nov 14, 09:17 AM
Packers RB Josh Jacobs had successful surgery on his fractured right ring finger on Friday in Los Angeles with hand and wrist surgeon Dr. Steven Shin. Jacobs "should be back in the next few weeks."
| Footballguys view: Jacobs is out of action for the next few weeks, and the Packers are trying to piece together a rushing attack in the meantime. This is a huge headache for Fantasy GMs. Kaleb Johnson could be the lead back, but Pierre Strong should get work as a change-of-pace back. Marshawn Lloyd could get some snaps, and even Chris Brooks may be ready to come back from IR after being limited in practice this week. We've got both Johnson and Strong in the RB4/deep flex range in PPR formats. |

Packers | RB Chris Brooks questionable for Week 10 Fri Nov 13, 05:15 PM
Packers RB Chris Brooks (ankle) is listed as questionable on the Week 10 injury report. Chris Brooks was limited in Friday's practice.
| Footballguys view: Brooks is working back from IR, and it couldn't come at a better time, as Josh Jacobs is expected to miss some time with a finger injury. If active, Brooks has some appeal in PPR leagues this week. His veteran savvy and pass blocking can be valuable against the blitz-heavy Vikings, and that helped him lead the Packers in snaps when they faced off in Week 1. |

Cardinals | Bam Knight has no injury designation for Week 10 vs. Rams Fri Nov 13, 05:11 PM
Cardinals RB Bam Knight (concussion) has no injury designation for Sunday's game against the Rams. Knight, who was ruled out of last Sunday's game against the Seahawks, was limited in practice on Wednesday before upgrading to full participation on Thursday.
| Footballguys view: Knight has looked like the best running back in Arizona so far this year, but he's a risky start in Week 10. Tyler Allgeier is active, and he'll be involved. But the matchup and situation are the real issue. The Rams defense looked much better with Myles Garrett back last week. And the Cardinals traded away Jacoby Brissett right before Gardner Minshew suffered a season-ending injury. That leaves Carson Beck as the next man up, getting his first-ever NFL start against a Rams team that likely wants revenge after an embarrassing Week 6 upset. Knight can be an RB3 or flex play this week, but know the risk that the Cardinals could get completely shut out. |

Packers | Josh Jacobs ruled out vs. Vikings, Lloyd likely takes his roster spot Fri Nov 13, 04:52 PM
Packers RB Josh Jacobs (finger) was officially ruled out on Friday for Sunday's game against the Vikings. Jacobs did not finish last week's game against the Patriots, and head coach Matt LaFleur said on Thursday that Jacobs had yet to have surgery on his fractured ring finger but that it would be coming in the near future. Jacobs will likely be replaced on the game-day roster by RB MarShawn Lloyd, who missed last week's game.
| Footballguys view: Jacobs is expected to miss some time after his finger surgery. Getting a read on this backfield is difficult. Kaleb Johnson got the work after Jacobs went down last week. But MarShawn Lloyd is expected to return this week. Chris Brooks, who has been on IR, logged three limited practices this week and could return this week or next week. Pierre Strong Jr. has looked pretty good in limited opportunities. There's a chance of a frustrating split this week, giving every back a very low floor. We have every active running back ranked between RB36-RB50 this week. We wouldn't blame you for letting your leaguemates deal with this potential headache. |

Saints | RB CJ Donaldson ruled out for Week 10 Fri Nov 13, 04:35 PM
Saints RB CJ Donaldson (shoulder) is listed as out on the Week 10 injury report. CJ Donaldson did not participate in Friday's practice.
| Footballguys view: Donaldson has been pretty consistently involved as a pass blocker this year, but there hasn't been much fantasy value to get excited about. With Audric Estime's role growing and Travis Etienne Jr. expected back soon, Donaldson is droppable in all non-dynasty formats. |
CJ Donaldson player page
Cowboys | RB Tyler Goodson ruled out for Week 10 Fri Nov 13, 04:35 PM
Cowboys RB Tyler Goodson (knee) is listed as out on the Week 10 injury report. Tyler Goodson did not participate in Friday's practice.
| Footballguys view: Goodson is expected to miss a few weeks, making him droppable in all formats. Israel Abanikanda will back up Javonte Williams while Goodson is out, and he's a stashable handcuff in deep leagues. |
Tyler Goodson player page
Jaguars | Chris Rodriguez Jr. has no injury designation for Week 10 Fri Nov 13, 04:11 PM
Jaguars RB Chris Rodriguez Jr. (hand) has no injury designation for Sunday's game against the Titans. Rodriguez was limited at practice on Wednesday and Thursday with the hand injury.
| Footballguys view: It looks like Bhayshul Tuten should be up as well, putting Rodriguez in the RB3 range. If Tuten suffers a setback and is inactive, Rodriguez becomes a must-start option. Even if Tuten is active, though, there are a few paths to a productive day for Rodriguez. He could score a touchdown, get a second-half run in a blowout, or be more involved as the Jaguars manage Tuten's workload. He's not someone to force into lineups, but he has more upside this week than the average backup running back. |

Texans | David Montgomery questionable for Sunday vs. Browns Fri Nov 13, 03:59 PM
Texans RB David Montgomery (groin) is questionable for Sunday's Week 10 game against the Browns. Montgomery returned to practice on Thursday and was at practice again on Friday after not being seen at practice on Wednesday.
| Footballguys view: A full practice on Friday is a great sign. Additionally, the Texans released running back Dare Ogunbawale today, which could signal that Montgomery is trending in the right direction. Montgomery found the end zone three times in Week 1 but looked sluggish and unproductive after that before picking up this groin injury. With Woody Marks clearing the final injury report and expecting to suit up against the Browns, Montgomery is a shaky RB3. |

Chiefs | Kenneth Walker questionable with groin injury, Emmett Johnson to start if he sits Fri Nov 13, 03:46 PM
Chiefs RB Kenneth Walker is officially questionable for Sunday's game at Atlanta after sitting out Friday's practice. Walker tweaked his groin sometime this week, head coach Andy Reid said. Rookie RB Emmett Johnson will start if Walker can't play. Walker leads the league with 109.0 rushing yards per game, with 872 rushing yards and seven rushing touchdowns in eight games, plus 26 catches for 172 yards and four touchdowns.
| Footballguys view: As noted in an earlier write-up, Walker is no stranger to groin injuries. He missed a game due to one in 2022 and then played through another in 2023. With this one popping up late in the week, there's a bit more concern than normal. However, we'll probably have to wait until Sunday to know what's going on, so there's no reason to stress now. The good news is that the Chiefs play early, so fantasy managers will have a full pool of pivot options. If Walker is active, start him. If he can't go, rookie Emmett Johnson becomes a must-start option. Johnson has loaded his highlight reel early in his rookie season and has a desirable efficiency profile to match. He'd be a top-ten option in a projected high-scoring game against the Falcons. Check back in on Sunday morning for an update. |

Titans | Tyjae Spears questionable for Sunday after full practice Friday Fri Nov 13, 03:41 PM
Titans RB Tyjae Spears (knee) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Jaguars. Spears was a full participant in Friday's practice.
| Footballguys view: Spears was a DNP at the start of the week. He logged a limited practice on Thursday. And Friday's full participation puts him on the trajectory we want to see. If he's active, he's little more than a desperation flex, with slightly more utility in PPR leagues than in standard. If he's not active, Tony Pollard becomes a must-start option, as he's been one of fantasy's most dominant running backs since Spears has been out. |

Saints | Travis Etienne Jr. questionable for Sunday after full practice Friday Fri Nov 13, 02:45 PM
Saints RB Travis Etienne Jr. (hamstring) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Panthers. He was upgraded to a full participant at Friday's practice.
| Footballguys view: In addition to a full practice, Etienne was asked if he'd be ready to go, to which he replied, "I hope so. I definitely want to." Etienne hasn't played since Week 3. Upon his return, he's expected to be the Saints' lead back. Facing Carolina this week, Etienne will have a chance to face off against his little brother, Trevor, the Panthers' backup running back. |
Travis Etienne Jr. player page
Saints | Alvin Kamara has no injury designation for Week 10 Fri Nov 13, 02:45 PM
Saints RB Alvin Kamara has no injury designation for Sunday's game against the Panthers. Kamara was listed as not injury related-rest and with a back issue on the injury report this week.
| Footballguys view: The Saints specifically noted Kamara's early-week DNP as "NIR-Rest, Back" rather than simply "Back," signaling the injury wasn't serious. Kamara has played through injuries seemingly every week in his age-31 season, but it hasn't stopped him from providing RB3 production in PPR leagues. With Travis Etienne Jr. potentially back this week, it puts a slight cap on Kamara's outlook. But his usage in the passing game can help desperate managers looking for an RB3 or flex in PPR formats. |

Chiefs | Kenneth Walker misses Friday practice with groin tightness Fri Nov 13, 02:10 PM
Chiefs RB Kenneth Walker did not practice on Friday because of groin tightness, head coach Andy Reid said. "We'll see how he feels through this afternoon & rehab," Reid said. "He was tight this morning."
| Footballguys view: Walker has a long injury history but has avoided injury so far this year. Throughout his NFL career, he's had two groin injuries. One in 2022 caused him to miss one game, and another in 2023 didn't keep him out of any games. This reporting is obviously concerning, but we'll wait for more information before panicking. |

Giants | Devin Singletary plays four snaps, shaky pass protection rules out third-down role Fri Nov 13, 12:41 PM
Giants RB Devin Singletary got blown up by Commanders LB Sonny Styles on a blitz on the opening drive of Thursday's loss and played only three more snaps, one of them a kneel-down. His pass protection has been shaky the past two weeks, which the beat writer says eliminates the possibility of him being used as the third-down back.

Panthers | Jonathon Brooks listed as doubtful for Week 10 while in practice window Fri Nov 13, 12:25 PM
Panthers RB Jonathon Brooks (groin) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's Week 10 game at the Saints. Brooks remains in his practice window ahead of a possible activation from injured reserve. He was a limited participant and worked with the scout team this week.
| Footballguys view: Brooks still has a couple of weeks left in his 21-day window before the Panthers have to activate him. He logged two full practices to start this week, so he appears close. He's worth stashing in deep leagues, though expectations should be tempered given his lengthy injury history. |

Cowboys | Israel Abanikanda to back up Javonte Williams Sunday, Luepke to get more plays Fri Nov 13, 12:11 PM
Cowboys RB Israel Abanikanda will be the backup to RB Javonte Williams on Sunday against the 49ers, head coach Brian Schottenheimer said on Friday. RB Hunter Luepke will get more plays and potentially more touches.
| Footballguys view: Abanikanda is a good athlete and is still just 24. He got a little taste of action in 2023 with the Jets, but we haven't seen him since. Expect him to handle only a few touches as Williams dominates the backfield. But Abanikanda can be picked up in deep leagues with Tyler Goodson expected to miss a few weeks. Abanikanda is an injury away from a big opportunity on an explosive offense. |

Lions | Sione Vaki questionable for Sunday against Patriots Fri Nov 13, 11:56 AM
Lions RB Sione Vaki (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's Week 10 game against the Patriots. Vaki was a limited participant in practice on Friday. He was also questionable for last Sunday's game against the Dolphins with the ankle injury.
| Footballguys view: Vaki quietly carved out a role in the Lions' backfield over the last few weeks, and his return to practice on Friday gives him a chance to play on Sunday. Not like you're ever benching Jahmyr Gibbs, but Vaki's inactive status could lead to an even larger workload for fantasy's RB1. If Vaki can't go, expect Jacob Saylors to complement Gibbs with a handful of touches. Either way, Vaki or Saylors probably won't garner enough work to produce any meaningful fantasy production. |
Sione Vaki player page
Texans | David Montgomery at practice for second straight day Fri Nov 13, 11:49 AM
Texans RB David Montgomery was at practice for a second straight day on Friday. The veteran has missed the past month with a groin injury suffered against the Titans.
| Footballguys view: Montgomery returned to practice on Thursday and made another appearance on Friday. Woody Marks is dealing with a knee injury, so Montgomery is returning at the perfect time. Marks is expected to go, but an active Montgomery could help him shoulder the load. If Marks is out and Montgomery is active (unlikely), Montgomery can be started as an RB2 in fantasy. But if Marks is active, it'll be hard to trust Montgomery in any lineup. |

Panthers | Jonathon Brooks' practice statuses changed from 'full' to 'limited' Fri Nov 13, 11:45 AM
Panthers RB Jonathon Brooks (groin) has had his practice statuses from earlier this week changed from "full" to "limited," a team spokesperson said on Friday. The change was made because Brooks took scout team reps while returning from injured reserve.
| Footballguys view: All signs point to Brooks making his return this Sunday, as the "downgrade" to an LP on Friday's report doesn't tell the full story. He can't be trusted in fantasy lineups, but he's worth stashing on deep benches, mostly as an injury-away option if anything happens to Chuba Hubbard. |

Texans | Woody Marks 'good to go' for Sunday's game at Cleveland Fri Nov 13, 11:39 AM
Texans RB Woody Marks is good to go for Sunday's Week 10 game against the Browns. Marks was "back at it" on Friday after dealing with knee soreness from hits over the past few weeks.
| Footballguys view: Marks' week of limited practice is a bit concerning, but he should be ready to go on Sunday against the Browns. He can be relied on as a high-floor RB2, although his ceiling has left much to be desired this year. |
Woody Marks player page
Texans | Woody Marks 'back at it' Friday after missing Thursday's practice Fri Nov 13, 11:34 AM
Texans RB Woody Marks is "back at it" on Friday after a knee injury kept him out of Thursday's practice. Marks has been dealing with knee soreness from hits taken over the past few weeks, which a league source described as residual soreness and "nothing structural." The Texans had held him out as a precaution and were taking a wait-and-see approach to his availability for Sunday's game at the Browns.

Browns | Duce Staley says 'no smoke' behind Sampson outsnapping Judkins Fri Nov 13, 11:00 AM
Browns RB coach Duce Staley said there is no smoke behind RB Dylan Sampson outsnapping RB Quinshon Judkins over the last few weeks. Staley said the split is all about the situation in the game.
| Footballguys view: That may be true, but the Browns are underdogs this week against the Texans. Sampson has run 77 routes over the last three weeks to Judkins' 22. If the Browns are playing from behind, Sampson will get some extra work. Both Sampson and Judkins are RB3s this week, but Sampson has an arguably higher ceiling in PPR leagues. |

Jaguars | Bhayshul Tuten will return to practice Friday Fri Nov 13, 10:50 AM
Jaguars RB Bhayshul Tuten (ankle/foot) will return to practice on Friday, head coach Liam Coen said. Tuten was seen working inside during the open portion of Wednesday's practice. The Jaguars visit the Titans on Sunday.
| Footballguys view: Tuten played last week after a full week of DNPs, so a return to practice signals that he'll likely be available this Sunday. The Jaguars have a juicy matchup against the Titans on the horizon. If Tuten is active, the only fear is that the Jaguars will have this game packed up by halftime, and Tuten will see the bench for the second half like he did last week. |

Texans | Woody Marks' knee soreness 'nothing structural', Demercado ready to step in Fri Nov 13, 10:13 AM
Texans RB Woody Marks, who missed practice on Thursday with a knee injury, is dealing with residual soreness from hits taken over the past two games and the issue is "nothing structural," per a league source. The team is taking a precaution by holding him out for now and is taking a wait-and-see approach about Sunday's game at the Browns. Texans RB Emari Demercado said he is confident in his ability to step in if Marks is sidelined.
| Footballguys view: David Montgomery is back at practice this week after an extended absence due to a groin injury, but his chances of playing are slim. If Marks can't play, Demercado becomes a borderline RB3 against the Browns. Dare Ogunbowale would likely spell Demercado on passing downs, capping his ceiling. But as we approach byes and injuries, there should be enough volume to justify starting Demercado. If Marks is active, his projection will be tempered because of the injury. |

Patriots | RB Rhamondre Stevenson questionable for Week 10 Fri Nov 13, 09:55 AM
Patriots RB Rhamondre Stevenson (knee) is listed as questionable on the Week 10 injury report. Rhamondre Stevenson was limited in Thursday's practice.
| Footballguys view: Stevenson was expected to miss multiple weeks with a knee injury but returned to practice on Thursday and logged another on Friday. If he's active, he's a risky start, more of a back-end RB2 than the back-end RB1 he'd be if healthy. If Steveson can't go, fire up Corey Kiner as a high-floor volume play. If Stevenson is active, Kiner becomes more of a desperation start. |
