Broncos | Pat Bryant 'right back into the mix', plays 68% of snaps vs. Panthers Mon Nov 9, 07:36 AM
Broncos WR Pat Bryant was "right back into the mix" in Sunday's 26-21 win over the Panthers, playing 68% of the offensive snaps in his return from an ankle injury.
| Footballguys view: Only WR Courtland Sutton (85%) played more among Denver's wide receivers, ahead of WR Troy Franklin (55%), WR Marvin Mims Jr. (25%), and WR Jaylen Waddle (19%), who left with a concussion. Bryant caught four passes for 56 yards and a touchdown. If Waddle can't make it through the concussion protocol, Bryant could see additional targets in Week 10. |

Bears | Luther Burden has a concussion, per Ben Johnson Mon Nov 9, 12:41 AM
Bears WR Luther Burden III has a concussion, head coach Ben Johnson said. Burden left Sunday's win over the Buccaneers in the fourth quarter with a possible head injury after taking a helmet-to-helmet hit on which he fumbled.
| Footballguys view: Prior to exiting Sunday's win, Burden caught seven passes for 97 yards and a touchdown, leading the team. With a bye week to rest, we'll see what Burden's status is going into Week 11 when the Bears take on the New Orleans Saints. |

Bears | Luther Burden exits with possible head injury after fumble on helmet-to-helmet hit Sun Nov 8, 11:35 PM
Bears WR Luther Burden III left Sunday night's game against the Buccaneers with a possible head injury after taking a direct shot to the head from Buccaneers rookie DL Rueben Bain Jr. on a third-down screen pass late in the fourth quarter. Burden fumbled on the play, giving Tampa Bay good field position, and he was taken to the blue medical tent and did not return. Burden had caught a 56-yard touchdown pass earlier in the game.

49ers | Mike Evans' Achilles tendinitis 'could keep him sidelined for weeks' Sun Nov 8, 09:46 PM
49ers WR Mike Evans is dealing with Achilles tendinitis that could keep him sidelined for weeks. Evans missed Sunday's win over the Raiders, as did WRs Deebo Samuel and Christian Kirk. With the receiver group shorthanded, a trade for a wide receiver seems the most likely move for San Francisco before Tuesday's trade deadline.

New England Patriots WR Mack Hollins caught 3 passes for 36 yards and a touchdown on 6 targets in Sunday's 45-27 loss to the Green Bay Packers. He finished with 11.1 fantasy points (half-PPR) without a projection.

Packers | Watson catches 7 passes for 171 yards, a touchdown in win over Patriots Sun Nov 8, 07:46 PM
Green Bay Packers WR Christian Watson caught 7 passes for 171 yards and a touchdown on 8 targets in Sunday's 45-27 win over the New England Patriots. He was projected for 13.2 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 26.6.
| Footballguys view: Watson's big performance, which included a career high in yardage, coincided with Matthew Golden's 10-catch, 164-yard effort. The Packers scored a season-high 45 points in their Week 9 win, the most the Patriots have ever allowed in a game at Gillette Stadium. Green Bay also posted a season-high 478 total yards, including 129 rushing yards, after failing to surpass 90 rushing yards in any of their first eight games of the 2026 season. The Packers host the Vikings in Week 10. |

Packers | Golden catches 10 passes for 164 yards, a touchdown in win over Patriots Sun Nov 8, 07:46 PM
Green Bay Packers WR Matthew Golden caught 10 passes for 164 yards and a touchdown on 10 targets in Sunday's 45-27 win over the New England Patriots. He was projected for 13.8 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 27.4.
| Footballguys view: Golden was the star early as he caught seven passes for 150 yards and a touchdown in the first half to help the Packers to a 24-14 lead at the break. He's had at least 10 targets in each of the past four games. Meanwhile, Christian Watson finished with seven catches for 171 yards, making this the fourth time that the Packers have had two wideouts with at least 150 yards in a game, and both players set career highs for their receiving yards in a single game. |

Chargers | Johnston catches 1 pass for 58 yards, a touchdown in loss to Texans Sun Nov 8, 07:31 PM
Los Angeles Chargers WR Quentin Johnston ran 1 time for 5 yards and also caught 1 pass for 58 yards and a touchdown on 4 targets in Sunday's 44-22 loss to the Houston Texans. He was projected for 5.6 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 12.8.

Texans | Dell catches 4 passes for 105 yards, a touchdown in win over Chargers Sun Nov 8, 07:31 PM
Houston Texans WR Tank Dell caught 4 passes for 105 yards and a touchdown on 9 targets in Sunday's 44-22 win over the Los Angeles Chargers. He was projected for 3.2 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 18.5.
| Footballguys view: As Pro Football Focus' Nathan Jahnke noted, with Xavier Hutchinson taking over the slot role, Dell, Marvin Harrison Jr., and Kayshon Boutte rotated opposite Nico Collins. Dell and Harrison split snaps relatively evenly in both 11 and 12 personnel. Boutte was a distant third among the three in terms of snaps, but he caught four passes for 125 yards and two touchdowns. Looking ahead, Houston has not indicated that Boutte, Dell, or Harrison will start playing in the slot, meaning all three receivers will continue competing for one spot, and any one of them could have a big week. |
Tank Dell player page
Texans | Boutte catches 4 passes for 125 yards, two touchdowns in win over Chargers Sun Nov 8, 07:31 PM
Houston Texans WR Kayshon Boutte caught 4 passes for 125 yards and two touchdowns on 5 targets in Sunday's 44-22 win over the Los Angeles Chargers. He was projected for 3.7 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 26.5.
| Footballguys view: As CBSSports.com noted, Boutte entered Week 9 action with a cumulative 15-194-0 line on 23 targets through seven appearances this season, so Sunday's performance was a true outburst. The issue in the future will be the three-way split the Texans used in Los Angeles, with Boutte, Marvin Harrison Jr., and Tank Dell all sharing the spot opposite Nico Collins. |

San Francisco 49ers WR Jordan Watkins caught 4 passes for 86 yards and a touchdown on 4 targets in Sunday's 38-17 win over the Las Vegas Raiders. He was projected for 5.7 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 16.6.

Rams | Puka Nacua to undergo MRI on knee, team does not believe ACL is torn Sun Nov 8, 05:25 PM
Rams WR Puka Nacua suffered a knee injury on the team's final offensive snap of Sunday's win over the Commanders and will undergo an MRI on Monday to determine the extent of the injury. The team does not believe Nacua suffered a torn ACL, but Monday's imaging will tell more.
| Footballguys view: Nacua was not asked about the knee injury after the game. He was asked about his trip to the blue medical tent in the third quarter and said he was checked for a concussion but was cleared. Nacua had 14 catches for 150 yards and a touchdown in the win. He was targeted 19 times. Nacua's 25 receptions over the last two games are the second most by a Rams player in the Super Bowl era. We will obviously be watching for the results of Nacua's imaging and following up through the team's Week 10 game in Arizona. |

Cowboys | Lamb catches 10 passes for 195 yards, a touchdown in win over Colts Sun Nov 8, 04:35 PM
Dallas Cowboys WR CeeDee Lamb caught 10 passes for 195 yards and a touchdown on 16 targets and lost 1 fumble in Sunday's 27-23 win over the Indianapolis Colts. He was projected for 19.1 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 28.5.
| Footballguys view: Lamb also fumbled close to the Colts' 10-yard line on a bizarre play when he wasn't touched down and got up to tack 30ish yards onto his total on the day. George Pickens missed this one with a hamstring injury, which opened the door for Lamb to take on most of the downfield pass offense. We'll see if Pickens can rally to play in a classic NFC matchup with San Francisco at home next week. |

Ladd McConkey hurts back in warmups, doesn't play against Texans Sun Nov 8, 04:18 PM
Chargers WR Ladd McConkey hurt his back in pregame warmups and did not play in Sunday's game against the Texans.
| Footballguys view: McConkey's back spasms give us just another reason to worry about a player who can't seem to stay healthy. He's going to get dropped in a lot of redraft leagues after giving teams a zero today, and it might not be the best idea to pick him up even though the Chargers' schedule finally gets less difficult after a game at Baltimore next week. |

Broncos | Bryant catches 4 passes for 56 yards, a touchdown in win over Panthers Sun Nov 8, 04:15 PM
Denver Broncos WR Pat Bryant caught 4 passes for 56 yards and a touchdown on 5 targets in Sunday's 26-21 win over the Carolina Panthers. He finished with 13.6 fantasy points (half-PPR) without a projection.
| Footballguys view: Bryant played a big role in the second half after Jaylen Waddle left with a concussion. He has arguably the best chemistry with Bo Nix of any of the Broncos receivers. Bryant isn't worth carrying through the bye in typical leagues with Waddle likely back on the field in Week 11 after the team's bye, but he could be a waiver-wire pickup eventually with the Broncos facing a weak second-half schedule. |

Broncos | Waddle held to 1 catch for 22 yards in win over Panthers Sun Nov 8, 04:15 PM

Rams | Nacua catches 14 passes for 150 yards, a touchdown, suffers a knee injury, MRI to come Sun Nov 8, 04:15 PM
Los Angeles Rams WR Puka Nacua ran 2 times for 20 yards, also caught 14 passes for 150 yards and a touchdown on 19 targets and lost 1 fumble in Sunday's 20-13 win over the Washington Commanders. He was projected for 17.9 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 28.0. Nacua also suffered a knee injury on the team's final offensive snap of Sunday's win over the Commanders and will undergo an MRI on Monday to determine the extent of the injury, the report said, crediting NFL Network's Mike Garafolo as well. The team does not believe Nacua suffered a torn ACL, but Monday's imaging will tell more.
| Footballguys view: Nacua has become the equivalent of a workhorse running back in the passing game, absorbing a ton of punishment on short range passes that keep the offense on schedule. He is set up to be as valuable as ever in PPR leagues as long as he can stay on the field. The Rams get a rematch with the Cardinals team that they lost to despite Arizona not scoring a touchdown in Week 6. |

Jets | Mitchell held to 0 catches for 0 yards in loss to Chiefs, Cooper catches 8 for 58 Sun Nov 8, 04:10 PM
New York Jets WR Adonai Mitchell caught 0 passes for 0 yards on 7 targets in Sunday's 35-12 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. He was projected for 10.1 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 0.0.
| Footballguys view: Mitchell and Omar Cooper Jr. have been trading off zeroes over the last three weeks. This week, it was Mitchell's turn, although he did get seven targets and narrowly missed catching what would have been a long touchdown from Geno Smith on a frustrating day for this offense. The Jets settled for five field goal attempts despite moving the ball effectively for most of the first half. Cooper ended up catching eight of his 11 targets and ran with the toughness and resourcefulness he is known for to get 58 hard-earned yards. Garrett Wilson should be back against the Bills in Week 10 after missing this one because of a concussion, which will complicate projecting this pass offense even further. |

Chiefs | Xavier Worthy goes down grabbing his hamstring, Chiefs likely to add a WR Sun Nov 8, 03:53 PM
Chiefs WR Xavier Worthy went down grabbing his hamstring during Sunday's game against the Jets. The Chiefs have been calling teams about wide receivers for weeks, and it was already likely that Kansas City would add a WR before Tuesday.
| Footballguys view: Worthy had six receptions for 48 yards when he left the game, so he was functional in the short-range passing game even though he hasn't become the deep threat the Chiefs hoped he would be when they moved up to take him in the 2024 first round. Josh Downs and Brian Thomas Jr. are the names most frequently mentioned as wide receiver trade targets for Kansas City. |

Patriots | Mack Hollins active vs. Packers, could see 'prominent snaps' as Z-receiver Sun Nov 8, 03:25 PM
Patriots WR Mack Hollins is active for Sunday's game against the Packers after returning from injured reserve following a four-game absence with a calf injury. Hollins played 63% of offensive snaps before hurting his calf in Week 4 against the Bills. The expectation is that he might see some prominent snaps as the Z-receiver, which in turn might bump second-year WR Efton Chism III down the depth chart.

Broncos | Jaylen Waddle out with concussion vs. Panthers Sun Nov 8, 02:44 PM
Broncos WR Jaylen Waddle has been ruled out of Sunday's game against the Panthers with a concussion. Waddle had been evaluated for a possible concussion earlier in the game.
| Footballguys view: The Broncos passing game did not miss a beat after Waddle -- who finished with one catch for 22 yards -- left the game. Pat Bryant returned from injured reserve this week and picked up the slack, along with Courtland Sutton stepping up in Waddle's absence. Both players scored and helped the Broncos move the sticks with catches and pass interference penalties drawn against the Panthers beleaguered secondary. Denver has a bye next week, so Waddle may not miss a game. |
