  Colts | Colts now 'open to trading' Jonathan Taylor, Giants among interested teams    Sat Oct 31, 07:45 AM

The Indianapolis Colts are now open to trading RB Jonathan Taylor, ESPN's Adam Schefter and NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported on Saturday. Multiple teams have reached out to Indianapolis, and those talks are said to be "active and ongoing." The Giants have interest in Taylor, though the price "is going to be steep."

  Packers | Three more women accuse Josh Jacobs of physical abuse in police case file    Sat Oct 31, 01:07 AM

Three more women have accused Packers RB Josh Jacobs of physical abuse, in addition to the May 2026 victim, according to a Hobart-Lawrence Police Department case file obtained by NBC26. One of the women told police she did not report abuse from 2022 because Jacobs told her she could be deported. That woman's information was given to police by the May 2026 victim. Jacobs' legal matter has been closed, but an NFL investigation remained open as of Thursday.

NBC26 in Green Bay obtained a case file from the Hobart-Lawrence Police Department that includes a second woman accusing Packers RB Josh Jacobs of physical abuse in 2022. The department released hundreds of pages of redacted records from the Jacobs case file but withheld video. Jacobs' legal matter has been closed, but an NFL investigation remains open.

  Colts | Colts want a first-round pick and a DT in exploratory Jonathan Taylor trade talks    Fri Oct 30, 08:31 PM

The Colts have discussed wanting a first-round pick and a defensive tackle in exploratory compensation talks with at least one team in exchange for RB Jonathan Taylor, per a league source. The discussions took place over the last 48 hours. Head coach Shane Steichen said on Wednesday that Taylor has not requested a trade.

  Broncos | RJ Harvey's knee injury 'does not appear to be serious'    Fri Oct 30, 07:05 PM

Broncos RB RJ Harvey's knee injury does not appear to be serious, a source told The Denver Post. Harvey, who appears to have suffered the injury in practice this week, has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Chiefs. The team has not commented on the severity of the injury.

  RJ Harvey ruled out for Week 8 vs. Chiefs    Fri Oct 30, 03:59 PM

Broncos RB RJ Harvey (knee) was not present at practice on Friday. Harvey popped up on the injury report as limited on Thursday, when he was seen for only a portion of the practice viewing period. Friday's injury report ruled him out for Sunday's game against the Chiefs.

Footballguys view: FP to LP to DNP isn't a good progression for any player in a week of practice, and Harvey has now been ruled out for Sunday. The Broncos play in the afternoon slate, so fantasy managers will have to plan accordingly. The best-case scenario is having J.K. Dobbins or Jonah Coleman as a pivot, as both would benefit from a Harvey absence. But you should pick up any other player in the late slate or primetime games.

  Eagles | Saquon Barkley off injury report, 'good to go' Sunday night at Washington    Fri Oct 30, 03:51 PM

Eagles RB Saquon Barkley (hamstring/back) is off the injury report and good to go for Sunday night's game against the Commanders. Earlier in the week Barkley had been tracking to miss the game, with no sign of him at Thursday's practice, before he was spotted at practice on Friday.

Footballguys view: This is a bit of a surprise, since Barkley missed practice Wednesday and Thursday. The Eagles were down to Elijah Mitchell and Jaydon Blue after Tank Bigsby, Will Shipley, and Dameon Pierce all landed on IR. Barkley is expected to get the bulk of the work, and it remains to be seen whether and how the team will monitor his workload. He's a risky back-end RB2 this week.

  Titans | Tyjae Spears ruled out for Sunday at Bengals    Fri Oct 30, 03:43 PM

Titans RB Tyjae Spears (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's Week 8 game at the Bengals. Spears did not practice Wednesday or Thursday this week.

Footballguys view: Spears will miss his second straight game with this knee injury. Tony Pollard scored three touchdowns as the team's workhorse last week, while Michael Carter played as the team's RB2. Expect similar usage this week, though the matchup against the Bengals could be tougher than last week's against the Browns.

  Lions | Jahmyr Gibbs off injury report, 'good to go' for Week 8    Fri Oct 30, 03:33 PM

Lions RB Jahmyr Gibbs (shoulder) is off the injury report and good to go for Sunday's Week 8 game against the Vikings. Gibbs did not practice Wednesday before returning to practice Thursday.

Footballguys view: Wednesday seemed to be a light practice, as quite a few veterans were off. Gibbs has logged back-to-back practices since then and can be relied on as an elite RB1 against the Vikings this week.

  Bears | Kyle Monangai does not practice again Friday    Fri Oct 30, 03:25 PM

Bears RB Kyle Monangai (toe, thumb) did not participate in practice on Friday. Monangai was not practicing Wednesday, when he was on a bike in the weight room, and was listed as a non-participant on Thursday's report. The Bears play at the Seahawks on Monday night.

Footballguys view: With the Bears playing Monday night, fantasy managers should probably just prepare for the worst. Monangai hasn't played since Week 4, when he handled 31 touches. The injury he suffered in that game, turf toe, is notorious for lingering and flaring up. With a Week 10 bye, don't be surprised if Monangai sits the next two weeks and returns in Week 11 after the bye. D'Andre Swift is an RB1 with Monangai out, even with a tough matchup in Seattle this week. Roschon Johnson should get some relief work, and he's in the desperation flex range.

  Buccaneers | Kenny Gainwell listed as questionable for Week 8    Fri Oct 30, 02:09 PM

Buccaneers RB Kenny Gainwell (hip) was listed as questionable on Friday for Sunday's Week 8 game against the Falcons. Gainwell was back at practice on Thursday after his hip kept him out on Wednesday.

Footballguys view: Gainwell exited last week's game with a hip injury but returned late in a blowout win. That injury kept him out of Wednesday's practice and limited him Thursday before he practiced fully Friday. Even if Gainwell is active, Bucky Irving has started to pull away with the backfield. Gainwell and Sean Tucker have some utility for desperate managers, with the former being the preferred guy in PPR leagues, but both backs would likely need an Irving injury to be preferred starters.

  Patriots | TreVeyon Henderson questionable for Sunday at Dolphins    Fri Oct 30, 01:35 PM

Patriots RB TreVeyon Henderson (illness) is questionable for Sunday's game at the Dolphins, coach Mike Vrabel said on Friday. Henderson missed Thursday's practice with the illness.

Footballguys view: Even if he's active, Henderson can't be trusted in lineups right now. He's averaging 34.4 scoreless yards per game over his last five outings. He's worth stashing in case Rhamondre Stevenson gets hurt, but the Patriots seem to be losing faith in Henderson as ball security and pass blocking remain issues. He's a shaky RB4 if active.

  Cardinals | Jeremiyah Love will play Sunday against Cowboys, LaFleur says    Fri Oct 30, 01:35 PM

Cardinals RB Jeremiyah Love will play Sunday against the Cowboys, head coach Mike LaFleur said on Friday. Love, who has been dealing with an ankle injury, was limited in practice on Thursday after missing the Cardinals' last two games.

Footballguys view: After a two-week absence, Love will make his return. The rookie suffered a high ankle sprain this preseason, and his efficiency was trending down every week of the regular season as he worked through it. The Cardinals decided to put him on ice for a couple of weeks, and he'll hope to return healthy. He's a high-ceiling RB2 in fantasy lineups. The big question is how backup work will be split between Tyler Allgeier and Bam Knight. Knight has handily outplayed Allgeier over the last couple of weeks and earned a larger role. One of Knight or Allgeier could be inactive for this matchup, and savvy fantasy managers can drop the inactive back for a waiver option with a higher ceiling.

  Falcons | Brian Robinson Jr. ruled out for Week 8 against Buccaneers    Fri Oct 30, 01:07 PM

Falcons RB Brian Robinson Jr. has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, his second straight missed game with a hamstring injury. Robinson is the only Falcons player ruled out. The Falcons elevated RB Khalil Herbert to replace Robinson in last Sunday's win over the 49ers, and Herbert played well in his first action with the team, particularly on special teams, where he returned two kicks for 65 yards.

Footballguys view: Herbert was respectable with his three touches last week while Brian Robinson Jr. was sidelined, and he should maintain that role in Week 8. However, Bijan Robinson is the only running back who matters here. He's an elite RB1 this week against the Buccaneers, and only the most desperate managers should even consider Herbert, whose value will rely almost entirely on his unlikely ability to get into the end zone.

  Colts | Jonathan Taylor, a trade candidate, will play Sunday with usual workload    Fri Oct 30, 12:55 PM

  Colts | Jonathan Taylor practicing Friday amid trade speculation    Fri Oct 30, 12:27 PM

Colts RB Jonathan Taylor was practicing on Friday. Taylor has been the subject of trade speculation, though head coach Shane Steichen said on Wednesday that Taylor has not requested a trade.

Footballguys view: Taylor has scoffed at the idea of a rebuild. He's tried to ignore the trade speculation while maintaining his image as a consummate professional. The Colts remain steadfast in their desire to get a first-round pick in return, so a deal is unlikely unless they change their asking price. Fantasy managers should hope for a trade after the team shipped off Quenton Nelson. Taylor has proven to be a bit game-script-dependent in Indianapolis, and game scripts are not expected to favor him for the rest of this season. He can be started as a back-end RB1 this week, but his floor is shaky if he can't score early.

  Eagles | Saquon Barkley 'out here' at Eagles practice Friday    Fri Oct 30, 12:14 PM

Eagles RB Saquon Barkley, who has a hamstring injury, was 'out here' at the team's practice on Friday. Barkley was not seen at the Eagles' first practice of the week on Thursday. Earlier on Friday, he was reported to be tracking to miss Sunday night's game at the Commanders.

  Titans | Tyjae Spears uncertain for Sunday at Bengals    Fri Oct 30, 11:41 AM

Titans RB Tyjae Spears (knee) will not practice Friday and is in doubt for Sunday's Week 8 game at the Bengals. Spears also did not practice Wednesday or Thursday.

Footballguys view: With Spears out and Tony Pollard's name swirling in trade discussions, Nick Singleton should be stashed in deep leagues. Michael Carter got the elevation last week and will likely be the one called up again on Sunday. But in what appears to be a lost season for the Titans, they might want to see what they have in their rookie late in the season. Pollard had a massive three-touchdown outing last week without Spears, and should see a similar workload this week against the Bengals. Start him as a high-end RB2.

  Jets | Breece Hall limited again in Friday practice    Fri Oct 30, 10:42 AM

Jets RB Breece Hall (quadriceps) was limited in practice again on Friday. Hall was also limited on Wednesday and Thursday after missing last Sunday's game against the Dolphins. The Jets host the Raiders on Sunday.

Footballguys view: Hall hasn't played since suffering a quadriceps injury in Week 3 and hopes to return this week. Hall logged two limited practices last week before being scratched on game day, so his practice participation this week doesn't guarantee a return. Braelon Allen has been fantastic in Hall's absence, so the Jets probably don't feel a need to rush Hall back. If Hall does return this week, it's not illogical to think Allen may remain involved to lessen Hall's load. At some point this year, Hall should get healthy enough to regain his role as the team's top back. If he's active this week, you can start him this week as a risky RB3. Allen's ranking as an RB2 or RB4 will be contingent on Hall's availability.

  Eagles | Jaydon Blue 'will likely be active' Sunday night with Barkley yet to practice    Fri Oct 30, 03:00 AM

Eagles RB Jaydon Blue will likely be active for Sunday night's game at the Commanders, as RB Saquon Barkley has not practiced this week while dealing with hamstring and back injuries. Unless Barkley bounces back quickly, the Eagles' running backs on Sunday night will be Blue and Elijah Mitchell, with Will Shipley, Tank Bigsby and Dameon Pierce on injured reserve. Blue is on the 53-man roster, while Mitchell is on the practice squad. "I feel like I'm very comfortable in the offense," Blue said on Thursday. "But I'm ready. I feel like I'm going to take advantage of every opportunity that I get."

Footballguys view: With Saquon Barkley, Tank Bigsby, Will Shipley, and Dameon Pierce all down, the Eagles will finally give Jaydon Blue a shot. Blue is a spark plug who can score from anywhere on the field. He lacks discipline and consistency, which likely explains why he's struggled to get playing time in his NFL career. But for desperate managers looking for a bye-week fill-in, Blue is likely available and could make his week with one big play.

  Cardinals | Jeremiyah Love limited again Thursday    Thu Oct 29, 07:16 PM

Cardinals rookie RB Jeremiyah Love (ankle) was limited in practice again on Thursday. Love missed the last two games with the ankle injury before returning to practice this week.

Footballguys view: Love has missed time, and the Cardinals are wisely being cautious with their star rookie. He's set to return this week, but a full participation on Friday would make us feel a lot better about his status.

  Seahawks | Zach Charbonnet a full participant in Thursday practice    Thu Oct 29, 06:45 PM

Seahawks RB Zach Charbonnet was a full participant in practice on Thursday. Charbonnet was ruled out for last Sunday's game against the Chiefs.

Footballguys view: Charbonnet was close to returning last week, but the team kept him out of action against the Chiefs. This week, Charbonnet is trending to play. Rookie first-round pick Jadarian Price is also practicing. With the game against the Bears on Monday, Fantasy GMs won't have clarity until Saturday... and we're hoping things are a bit more clear at the time.

  Lions | Lions won't limit Jahmyr Gibbs' workload: 'He probably wants more'    Thu Oct 29, 06:03 PM

  Broncos | J.K. Dobbins says reduced workload is about staying fresh, not losing starting job    Thu Oct 29, 05:15 PM

Broncos RB J.K. Dobbins indicated on Thursday that he believes his reduced workload is Denver trying to keep him fresh rather than him losing the starting job. Dobbins said rookie RB Jonah Coleman's uptick in work came when the Broncos were winning late and that all he cares about is winning. He added that if he wasn't getting carries and Denver was losing, "s***, I'm gonna be mad as f***."

Footballguys view: Dobbins was salty with reporters on Thursday. He's getting work with Coleman and Harvey in a three-headed RBBC. With Coleman impressing and looking to do more, and with Harvey having the pass-catching role, there may not be much for Dobbins in certain matchups. We've got him as a deep flex play in this current role.

Jets RB Braelon Allen (ankle) was a full participant in practice on Thursday. Allen had been limited in Wednesday's session. The Jets host the Raiders on Sunday.

Footballguys view: Allen has been rock solid as the starting back for the Jets. Now that Breece Hall could be returning this week, Allen may go to more of a reserve role. At the very least, we could see the Jets easing Hall back into action. Allen has been too good to go back to just a few touches a game.

Broncos RB RJ Harvey was present for only a portion of the media viewing period at Thursday's practice. Harvey's status on Thursday's injury report will be one to watch, along with those of DT Zach Allen and WR Jaylen Waddle. Denver hosts the Chiefs on Sunday.

Footballguys view: Harvey popped up on the injury report with a knee issue. After not being on the injury report on Wednesday, this is a concern. The team is looking for Jonah Coleman to do more, and JK Dobbins might not yet take a backseat to the rookie.

Footballguys view: The game is on Monday against the Seahawks, but it looks like Monangai may have to miss another game. D'Andre Swift is the lead back, and he should post RB2 numbers for Fantasy GMs in Week 8.

  Lions | Jahmyr Gibbs returns to practice Thursday, says 'I'm good' after shoulder issue    Thu Oct 29, 04:04 PM

Lions RB Jahmyr Gibbs (shoulder) returned to practice on Thursday after missing Wednesday's session. Gibbs downplayed the injury after practice, saying he was surprised by an alert on his phone listing him as questionable. "Yeah, just got dinged up a little bit, a little shoulder thing, but I'm good, though. I'm straight," Gibbs said. There are no indications the injury will affect his availability against the Vikings on Sunday.

Footballguys view: Gibbs says he's good to go, and Fantasy GMs can start him as per usual. The Vikings defense will throw the kitchen sink at the Lions' offense, but Gibbs could still finish with RB1 production.

  Jets | Breece Hall limited again in Thursday practice    Thu Oct 29, 04:00 PM

Jets RB Breece Hall (quadriceps) was a limited participant in practice on Thursday as the team prepares for its Week 8 game against the Raiders. Hall was also limited on Wednesday after missing last Sunday's game against the Dolphins with the quad injury.

Footballguys view: Hall was back in action last week, but the team decided to give him one more week of rest. Braelon Allen has been doing a fine job filling in as the lead back. In fact, even when Hall is back at full strength, we should see Allen get more touches than he was previously behind Hall. This dings Hall's fantasy value slightly, and Fantasy GMs will have to adjust to a new role for Allen once Hall is back (perhaps as soon as this week).

  Vikings | Aaron Jones returns to practice Thursday    Thu Oct 29, 03:49 PM

Vikings RB Aaron Jones Sr. (knee) returned to practice on Thursday. Jones had been held out of practice on Wednesday, head coach Kevin O'Connell said. Jones has been playing through a sprained MCL since Week 2 and has been considered day to day. The Vikings play at the Lions on Sunday.

Footballguys view: Jones is back in action, and that's a good sign for Week 8's game against the Lions. He's working in an RBBC with Jordan Mason, and Fantasy GMs should consider Jones more of a deep flex play in his current role. Mason is more of an RB3/flex play in his current role. Circle back Friday to see if Jones is still on track to play in Week 8.

  Commanders | Dan Quinn says Commanders will 'lean in more' on Austin Ekeler    Thu Oct 29, 03:45 PM

Commanders head coach Dan Quinn said on Wednesday that the team plans a bigger role for RB Austin Ekeler with RB Jacory Croskey-Merritt on injured reserve. "Now that he's back, we'll need to lean in more, and he's able to handle a bigger workload now," Quinn said. "It's the right play." Ekeler averaged 7.3 yards per carry in his Week 4 return against the Colts but has carried the ball only four times since, and Croskey-Merritt is out for at least the next month.

Footballguys view: Croskey-Merritt has been dealing with this groin injury all season long, and now he's going to get time to properly heal. That means the Commanders will be looking for guys like Ekeler to do more. Rachaad White rushed seven times for 27 yards in the Commanders' Week 6 loss to the 49ers, adding 30 yards and a touchdown on four receptions. After the Week 7 bye, we'll see if Ekeler gets more work with White in the Commanders' backfield.

Henderson was also absent from the beginning of Thursday's practice, Doug Kyed reported. Henderson returned from an ankle injury earlier this month.

Footballguys view: Henderson is listed as "DNP" for Thursday's practice with an illness designation. That may not keep him out of the game in Week 8, but Fantasy GMs should circle back on Friday. We've got him as a flex play against the Dolphins on Sunday.

  Seahawks | Jadarian Price designated for return to practice, could play Monday vs. Bears    Thu Oct 29, 02:41 PM

Seahawks rookie RB Jadarian Price was designated for return to practice on Thursday, as head coach Mike Macdonald said would happen during his Monday press conference. Price, Seattle's first-round pick, has missed four games on injured reserve with a chest injury. Macdonald said it is possible that Price and RB Zach Charbonnet could play in Monday night's Week 8 game against the Bears, but no definitive decision on their availability had been made early in the week.

Footballguys view: Price could be back sooner rather than later as he's coming back from the chest injury that forced him out the minimum four games. With the return of Zach Charbonnet as well, the Seahawks could be using both backs in an RBBC. When both are active, we'll have Price in the flex range from a fantasy perspective.

  Vikings | 'Some confidence' Aaron Jones will be available Sunday    Thu Oct 29, 08:15 AM

There was some confidence on Wednesday that Vikings RB Aaron Jones Sr. (knee) will be available for Sunday's Week 8 game against the Lions. Jones had previously been called 'day to day' and has played with a sprained MCL since Week 2.

Footballguys view: Jones has been playing with this for over a month, and the Vikings have given him quite the workload. With Jordan Mason back last week, the Vikings moved to more of an RBBC. That should help Jones as he continues to deal with - and likely play through - this knee problem.

  Eagles | Executives split on Saquon Barkley's trade value as Eagles may test market    Thu Oct 29, 03:55 AM

Eagles RB Saquon Barkley is among the players Philadelphia may shop ahead of the November 10 trade deadline, as executives around the league believe the 2-5 Eagles will look to offload at least some contracts and clear cap space. One AFC executive said Barkley's lingering hamstring injury and the back injury he suffered in Monday's loss to the Cowboys will likely hamper his value, since teams more often trade for running backs to help in the same year. Two NFC executives debated Barkley's value, one thinking it could reach as high as an early second-round pick while the other estimated it closer to a fourth. DT Moro Ojomo, TE Dallas Goedert and CB Riq Woolen were also named as players the Eagles may test the market for.

Footballguys view: Even with his lingering injuries, Barkley would have at least a few teams interested if he's available. The Eagles are always in the market because GM Howie Roseman is addicted to trading. We'll see if another team offers the Eagles enough to get Barkley. It's unlikely to take a premium pick (or picks) to get the veteran back.

  Eagles | Saquon Barkley estimated as non-participant Wednesday    Wed Oct 28, 06:56 PM

Eagles RB Saquon Barkley (hamstring/back) would not have participated in practice on Wednesday, according to the team's estimated report. The Eagles held only a walk-through on Wednesday, so the report is an estimation. Philadelphia visits the Commanders on Sunday night in Week 8.

Footballguys view: Barkley has been dealing with his hamstring injury since Week 4, but he picked up a back injury in Week 7. Let's see what Friday brings as the Eagles are incredibly thin at the running back position. Jaydon Blue is behind Barkley, and Elijah Mitchell is on their practice squad.
