Texans | Caserio: clear picture of Marvin Harrison Jr.'s role may be '3-4 weeks' away Wed Oct 14, 12:41 PM
Texans GM Nick Caserio said on 95.7 The Fan that the team likely won't have a clear picture of WR Marvin Harrison Jr.'s role for another three to four weeks, potentially after the bye. Caserio also emphasized that acquiring a young receiver under contract for at least two more seasons was part of the reasoning behind the trade. Players need time to get acclimated to a new offense, which is why head coach DeMeco Ryans usually pursues in-season additions who were with the team in camp or have played in similar systems.

Raheim Sanders to injured reserve with hip injury, Browns sign Audric Estimé Tue Oct 13, 04:28 PM
The Browns placed RB Raheim Sanders (hip) on injured reserve on Tuesday and signed RB Audric Estimé to the active roster from the Vikings' practice squad.
| Footballguys view: Sanders sustained the hip injury in Sunday's loss to the Jets; he has appeared in all five games this season. Estimé, a third-year player and 2024 fifth-round pick of the Broncos, has appeared in 20 career games with Denver and New Orleans, totaling 122 carries for 508 yards and three touchdowns, plus 17 receptions for 130 yards. Remember, with Quinshon Judkins dealing with an ankle issue and Dylan Sampson out with a knee injury, Jaleel McLaughlin and Estimé are the only healthy backs on the roster. We'll be watching Judkins' progress closely when Cleveland begins practicing on Wednesday. |

Vikings | Jauan Jennings' trade market 'expected to heat up' after Harrison Jr. deal Tue Oct 13, 01:57 PM
Vikings WR Jauan Jennings is another receiver whose trade market is expected to heat up in the wake of the Marvin Harrison Jr. trade, it was reported on The Pat McAfee Show on Tuesday. A reunion with the 49ers was floated as a possibility.
| Footballguys view: A seventh-round pick in 2020, Jennings gradually turned himself into a contributor for the 49ers. Jennings' best season came in 2024 when he caught 77 passes for 975 yards and six touchdowns, as a slew of injuries essentially forced him to be the team's No. 1 wide receiver. The Vikings signed Jennings with the hope that he could work as an effective secondary target behind Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison. And yet, even with both guys missing time because of injuries, Jennings has just two catches for nine yards so far this year. Stay tuned. |

Panthers | Jalen Coker in uniform on Tuesday Tue Oct 13, 01:54 PM

Giants didn't trade for McCarthy to supplant Winston or Dart; Dart 'long-term guy' Tue Oct 13, 01:32 PM
The Giants did not trade for QB J.J. McCarthy with the intention of supplanting QB Jameis Winston or QB Jaxson Dart, NFL insider Jordan Schultz said on Tuesday. Schultz said Dart remains the team's long-term quarterback.
| Footballguys view: McCarthy, according to Schultz, is additional insurance in case the injury bug hits the Giants' quarterback room again. However, the league insider acknowledged that if the wheels fall off on the Giants offense with Winston under center, things could change. For now, the Giants are simply evaluating what they have in McCarthy, who has a positive relationship with OC Matt Nagy. |

Vikings | Solak: Jordan Mason's 'impending return' shouldn't be underrated Tue Oct 13, 01:00 PM
ESPN's Ben Solak wrote on Tuesday that the impending return of Vikings RB Jordan Mason, described as a co-starting running back, should not be underrated.
| Footballguys view: Solak said the Vikings "want to do so much more in the designed running game with Murray and in the power play-action game with Mason as a bruising back." Aaron Jones Sr. has been impressive in Mason's absence, but it's fair to wonder if the workload he's seen the last three weeks is sustainable. Minnesota is on its bye in Week 6 and resumes play in Week 7. Proactive fantasy managers should be checking Mason's availability in their leagues. |

Bengals | Tanner Hudson suffers torn pec, likely out for the season Tue Oct 13, 11:49 AM
Bengals TE Tanner Hudson suffered a torn pectoral and will likely be out for the season, his agent told ESPN on Tuesday. Hudson has been a big receiving option for QB Joe Burrow and caught a touchdown in Sunday's win over the Dolphins.
| Footballguys view: Hudson suffered the injury while trying to make a tackle on special teams in Cincinnati's 31-24 victory in Week 5. Earlier in the game, he had three catches for 14 yards and a touchdown reception. Cincinnati's other reserve tight end options include Erick All Jr. and Jack Endries, a seventh-round pick in this year's draft who has been inactive in three of the team's five games this season. |

Malik Willis 'not seen throwing' at Dolphins bye-week practice Tue Oct 13, 10:53 AM
Dolphins QB Malik Willis was not seen throwing at the team's bye-week practice on Tuesday.
| Footballguys view: Willis took snaps and handoffs and performed an easy throwing motion with the ball in hand without releasing it. The bye-week day of drills is largely meant for players who have had limited playing time, so the fact that he's on the field is worth noting. That's especially true after coach Jeff Hafley gave the QB a vote of confidence when asked about Willis' job security on Monday. |

Patriots | TreVeyon Henderson out 'multiple weeks' with high ankle sprain Tue Oct 13, 10:18 AM
Patriots RB TreVeyon Henderson suffered a high ankle sprain during Sunday's win over the Raiders and is expected to miss multiple weeks, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported, citing league sources.
| Footballguys view: Henderson will not need surgery, and because he is regarded as a quick healer, the Patriots are hoping he returns "sooner rather than later." RB Corey Kiner moves up from No. 3 to No. 2 on the depth chart, with RB Lan Larison on the practice squad to fill the third spot. But Rhamondre Stevenson handled most of the backfield snaps following Henderson's departure last week. Expect that to continue. |

Brandin Cooks 'next man up' at WR with Deebo Samuel Sr. injured Tue Oct 13, 02:18 AM
49ers WR Brandin Cooks is the next man up at wide receiver with WR Deebo Samuel Sr. sidelined by a hamstring injury. Samuel is expected to miss at least a couple of weeks.
| Footballguys view: All signs point to a bigger role for Cooks, who played nearly every snap after Samuel exited and had an impressive, sliding touchdown catch to reclaim the lead in the fourth quarter of Sunday's win over Seattle. Cooks is worth adding off waivers. |

Steelers | McCarthy calls Jaylen Warren 'our featured player right now' Tue Oct 13, 01:49 AM
Steelers head coach Mike McCarthy said on Monday that RB Jaylen Warren is "our featured player right now" when asked whether a shared backfield of Warren and RB Rico Dowdle was his vision for the offense. Dowdle (toe) was inactive for Sunday's win over the Colts, in which Warren ran for 101 yards and a touchdown and added 87 receiving yards and another score.
| Footballguys view: The expectation entering the season was that Warren and Dowdle would split carries, with the latter potentially fitting better with who McCarthy wanted to be. But in the first five games, and especially with Dowdle out, it's clear Warren is the Steelers' best playmaker. On Sunday, he became the first player in Steelers history with a 50-yard rushing touchdown and an 80-yard receiving touchdown in the same game. On 21 touches, Warren forced five missed tackles and generated a career-high 130 yards after missed tackles. Warren is RB8 overall after five games. |

Bills | Cook runs for 111 yards, two TDs in win over Rams Tue Oct 13, 12:10 AM
Buffalo Bills RB James Cook III ran 25 times for 111 yards and two touchdowns, also caught 1 pass for 7 yards on 1 target and lost 1 fumble in Monday's 37-34 win over the Los Angeles Rams. He was projected for 15.4 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 23.3.
| Footballguys view: As USA Today suggested, Cook "looked electric at times" on Monday night, breaking some long runs to go with the two touchdowns. He continued to have issues with ball security, but the Bills will apparently live with that. They never went away from him in Los Angeles, and the result was an RB4 overall finish. |

Rams | Stafford throws for 383 yards, three touchdowns in loss to Bills Tue Oct 13, 12:04 AM
Los Angeles Rams QB Matthew Stafford completed 40 of 54 passes for 383 yards with 3 touchdowns in Monday's 37-34 loss to the Buffalo Bills. He was projected for 19.4 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 27.3.
| Footballguys view: Stafford couldn't quite pull out the win, but he still left SoFi Stadium with a historic NFL milestone under his belt. Stafford threw his 150th career touchdown with the Rams in the second half. That made Stafford the first quarterback in NFL history to throw at least 150 touchdown passes with two different franchises. He also finished Week 5 as the QB5 overall. |
Matthew Stafford player page
Bills | Allen throws for 210 yards, a touchdown in win over Rams Tue Oct 13, 12:02 AM
Buffalo Bills QB Josh Allen completed 12 of 19 passes for 210 yards with 1 touchdown and 1 interception and added 10 carries for 121 yards and another touchdown in Monday's 37-34 win over the Los Angeles Rams. He was projected for 22.6 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 29.5.
| Footballguys view: With DJ Moore and Joshua Palmer ruled out with shoulder injuries, the Bills passing attack was muzzled for most of the game. This wasn't much of a surprise. The same sort of thing happened in the second halves against Detroit and New England without Moore. Still, with Allen's receivers consistently unable to pop open downfield, the quarterback incorporated more scrambles into his repertoire than he has since Week 2. Allen ranked third among all Week 5 QBs. |
