Josh Jacobs 'fractured a finger,' LaFleur hopeful he can play Sun Nov 8, 08:09 PM
Packers RB Josh Jacobs fractured a finger in Sunday's win over the Patriots, head coach Matt LaFleur said. "Hopefully, we can do something to allow him to go out there. But he was having a hard time gripping the ball," LaFleur said. Jacobs left Sunday's game with the hand injury.
| Footballguys view: Jacobs left the 45-27 win in the first quarter. His day ended with five yards on four carries. With MarShawn Lloyd and Chris Brooks missing the game, Kaleb Johnson filled in and finished with 14 carries for 68 yards and a touchdown. The health of Green Bay's backfield will be something to monitor heading into next Sunday's game against the Vikings. |

Patriots | RB Rhamondre Stevenson sidelined by knee injury Sun Nov 8, 07:31 PM
Patriots RB Rhamondre Stevenson was injured in the third quarter of Sunday's game against the Packers with 3:29 left. He did not return (knee).
| Footballguys view: As SB Nation noted, Stevenson was again one of their most consistent sources of offense before departing. He totaled over 70 yards and a touchdown but also lost a fumble. With Stevenson sidelined, New England turned the backfield over to Lan Larison and Corey Kiner. The Patriots did not need to push Stevenson to return down multiple scores, so we'll be watching for more on the severity of this one. |

Giants | Singletary gets 21 carries with Skattebo out, Harbaugh not seeking 'short-term fix' Sun Nov 8, 07:01 PM
Giants RB Devin Singletary got 21 carries in Sunday's 19-11 win over the Eagles with RB Cam Skattebo (hamstring) out, more than the 18 carries he had all season to date. Rookie RB Gregory Desrosiers, elevated from the practice squad, carried three times for 20 yards. Head coach John Harbaugh said the Giants are "making a lot of calls" ahead of the trade deadline but added, "We're not just going to go for a short-term fix at an exorbitant cost."
| Footballguys view: The Giants play on Thursday night, so Skattebo is questionable at best, and the team has a short time to onboard any running back they would acquire before Thursday's game. They do have a 2+ game lead on the Cowboys and should be thinking like a playoff team, but not too aggressively, as the Giants probably don't have the quarterback play to advance deep into the postseason. |

Patriots | RB Rhamondre Stevenson injured in the third quarter vs. Packers Sun Nov 8, 06:55 PM
Patriots RB Rhamondre Stevenson was injured on a play in the third quarter of Sunday's game against the Packers with 3:29 left. No return designation has been posted yet.
| Footballguys view: Stevenson left with a knee injury and was ruled out. He had six carries for 32 yards and three receptions for 46 yards and a score before leaving. Corey Kiner is the next man up on early downs with Lan Larison the passing down back for any games that Stevenson misses. The Patriots travel to Munich, Germany to face the Lions next week and then have a bye, so hopefully Stevenson will only miss one game. |

Packers | Josh Jacobs suffers hand injury, doesn't return against Patriots Sun Nov 8, 04:54 PM
Packers RB Josh Jacobs suffered a hand injury did not return to Sunday's game against the Patriots after carrying the ball for five yards on four carries.
| Footballguys view: Jacobs got his finger stuck in a facemask and did not return to the game. The Packers have been rumored to be in the market for a running back, given the uncertainty about the NFL's disciplinary process's handling of new domestic violence allegations against Jacobs, and now that need becomes more urgency. Kaleb Johnson flashed with a 34-yard run and a score, but the Packers can't rely on him or MarShawn Lloyd, who missed this game with a knee injury. |

Cowboys | Williams runs for 101 yards, one TD in win over Colts Sun Nov 8, 04:35 PM
Dallas Cowboys RB Javonte Williams ran 20 times for 101 yards and a touchdown and also caught 4 passes for 23 yards on 5 targets in Sunday's 27-23 win over the Indianapolis Colts. He was projected for 16.5 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 20.4.
| Footballguys view: Tyler Goodson added 77 yards on his 12 carries as the Cowboys offensive line had its best run-blocking performance of the season. Williams has two 100-yard games in his last three outings heading into a home game against the 49ers. |

Chiefs | Walker runs for 102 yards, one TD, two receiving TDs in win over Jets Sun Nov 8, 04:10 PM
Kansas City Chiefs RB Ken Walker III ran 18 times for 102 yards and a touchdown and also caught 4 passes for 41 yards and two touchdowns on 4 targets in Sunday's 35-12 win over the New York Jets. He was projected for 20.4 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 34.3.
| Footballguys view: Walker had cooled off with only 141 total yards and no scores in the last two games. He atoned this week by piling up 143 total yards and finding paydirt three times. He overwhelmed a Jets defense that has been beaten just about every way you can beat a defense in the last three weeks. Walker will take aim at a weary Falcons defense that got run ragged by Joe Burrow in Madrid today. |

The Falcons placed RB Brian Robinson Jr. (hamstring) on injured reserve on Saturday. In a corresponding move, the team signed RB Khalil Herbert to the active roster from the practice squad. Robinson had already been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bengals in Madrid.
| Footballguys view: Robinson was limited throughout the week of practice, but now the team shuts him down for a four-game minimum. Herbert should be the primary option behind Bijan Robinson while Brian Robinson Jr. misses time. |

Dolphins | Carlos Washington elevation 'could signal' Wright or Allen won't play Week 9 Sat Nov 7, 04:01 PM
The Dolphins elevated RB Carlos Washington Jr. to the active roster on Saturday for Sunday's Week 9 game against the Lions. The beat writer noted that the move could signal that either RB Jaylen Wright or rookie RB Kaytron Allen won't be able to go. Wright and Allen are both questionable for Sunday with quadriceps injuries.
| Footballguys view: Allen was upgraded to full participation on Friday, while Wright was still limited as the team wrapped practice for the week. Ollie Gordon II is the lead back for the Dolphins, and we'll see how the depth chart shakes out behind him. Wright should be the No. 2 back, but he might not be ready to play. |

Allgeier in 'normal RB1 spot,' Hull backup, Jerome Ford elevated as No. 3 RB Sat Nov 7, 04:00 PM
The Cardinals elevated RB Jerome Ford from the practice squad on Saturday ahead of Sunday's game at Seattle. Ford will serve as the No. 3 running back, with RB Tyler Allgeier in his normal RB1 spot and RB Evan Hull serving as his backup.
| Footballguys view: Allgeier is the lead back for the Cardinals, and he's set to get a sizable workload. Against the Seahawks on Sunday afternoon, Allgeier should produce like an RB2 from a fantasy perspective (and the upside is there for more just like last week). |

Saints | Saints release RB Kendre Miller Sat Nov 7, 01:26 PM
The Saints released RB Kendre Miller on Saturday. The fourth-year back had been part of the backfield rotation with Alvin Kamara, and earlier this season head coach Kellen Moore said Kamara and Miller "will handle that load" after Travis Etienne Jr. went to injured reserve.
| Footballguys view: The Saints added Audric Estimé to their practice squad again earlier this week. Miller had been part of the RB rotation with Kamara, but now he finds himself looking for another team. It shouldn't take long for someone to pick him up despite his "meh" performances for the Saints. |

Colts | Colts reportedly rejected second- and fifth-round offer for Jonathan Taylor Sat Nov 7, 09:47 AM
Colts RB Jonathan Taylor's suitors include the Giants and Vikings, whom The Athletic's Jonathan Jones believes are the favorites to convince Indianapolis to trade him. Jones said he was told the Colts have already rejected an offer of a second- and fifth-round pick for Taylor.
| Footballguys view: The Vikings, Giants, and Broncos all seem to have interest in the superstar running back. There could be a bidding war going on right now, but who knows what price tag would make the Colts interested in a trade. Taylor immediately makes the team he lands on a Super Bowl contender, and those three teams are looking to separate themselves from the pack of potential playoff teams in their respective conferences. Stay tuned. |

Ravens | Giants inquired about Justice Hill; Ravens 'not expected' to deal Derrick Henry Sat Nov 7, 07:41 AM
The Giants inquired about Ravens RB Justice Hill ahead of Tuesday's trade deadline, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported. Schefter also reported that the Ravens are not expected to trade RB Derrick Henry before the deadline. Baltimore is not expected to sell at the deadline, with QB Jacoby Brissett starting while QB Lamar Jackson is on injured reserve.
| Footballguys view: The Giants are looking for help at the position with Cam Skattebo (hamstring) banged up and Tyrone Tracy Jr. on IR. Hill was the back they wanted, but the Ravens aren't sellers (even though perhaps they should be). Hill rushed nine times for 85 yards and a touchdown in the Ravens' Week 9 loss to the Jaguars, adding seven yards on three receptions. He'd be more fantasy relevant if the Giants did trade for him than he is as a backup behind Henry. Stay tuned. |

Ravens | Ravens 'not expected' to trade Derrick Henry before Tuesday's deadline Sat Nov 7, 07:05 AM

The market is there for Jonathan Taylor and perhaps even for Tony Pollard, but at this time it seems like Henry is staying in Baltimore. |
