Rams | Davante Adams headed to IR with ruptured hamstring, out 6-10 weeks Mon Oct 19, 05:00 PM
Rams WR Davante Adams will be placed on injured reserve with a ruptured hamstring and will miss six to 10 weeks, head coach Sean McVay said on Monday. Adams came up limping on a non-contact play in the final minute of Sunday's Week 6 loss to the Cardinals. He had 30 catches for 480 yards and four touchdowns in six games, including over 300 yards and two touchdowns in the two games WR Puka Nacua missed with a core injury. The Rams' other options include WRs Tutu Atwell, Jordan Whittington, Konata Mumpfield and rookie CJ Daniels.

Rams | Davante Adams ruptured hamstring, out 6-10 weeks Mon Oct 19, 04:51 PM
Rams WR Davante Adams ruptured his hamstring and will be out 6-10 weeks. Adams was injured in the fourth quarter of Sunday's loss to the Cardinals and did not return.
| Footballguys view: The injury comes amid a tough stretch for a team that many thought would run the table and win the Super Bowl entering the season. The Rams fell to 2-4 with Sunday's loss, their second straight. Losing Adams will undoubtedly make it that much more difficult for Stafford and the Rams' offense to turn things around after this rough start. Expect Konata Mumpfield, Jordan Whittington, and Tutu Atwell to move up in the rotation behind Puka Nacua with Adams out. |

Patriots | Romeo Doubs placed on injured reserve Mon Oct 19, 04:00 PM
The Patriots placed WR Romeo Doubs on injured reserve on Monday. Doubs suffered a shoulder injury in Sunday's win over the Jets and was ruled out of the game. New England signed DB Elliott Davison to the 53-man roster from the practice squad in a corresponding move.
| Footballguys view: A.J. Brown's return to the lineup mitigates this loss, but Doubs, who is WR36 overall through six weeks, has been a viable play for fantasy managers. His absence will allow DeMario Douglas, Efton Chism III, and Kyle Williams to continue getting opportunities. Douglas, who was already taking advantage of Brown's absence, currently sits at WR34 on the season. |

Ravens | Jesse Minter has 'a little bit of optimism' Rashod Bateman should be okay Mon Oct 19, 03:45 PM
Ravens head coach Jesse Minter expressed optimism on Monday about WR Rashod Bateman, who did not return to Sunday's game against the Browns with a shoulder injury. "I think he came out of it OK, even though we kind of came out of the game," Minter said. "But I think there's a little bit of optimism that he should be okay."
| Footballguys view: If Bateman can't make it back this week, Baltimore's wide receiver picking order would start with Zay Flowers and Ja'Kobi Lane, with Devontez Walker and LaJohntay Wester working behind them. |

Texans | Tank Dell will play Sunday vs. Giants in first game since 2024 leg injury Mon Oct 19, 03:40 PM
Texans WR Tank Dell will play Sunday against the Giants, head coach DeMeco Ryans announced on Monday. It will be Dell's first game since the major leg injury he suffered in 2024.
| Footballguys view: Dell has been on injured reserve, recovering from a severe left-knee injury (dislocated kneecap and multiple torn ligaments) suffered in December 2024. The fact that he's made it this far in his recovery is remarkable. Hitting the field this weekend would add to that. Will he be fantasy-worthy? While he's rosterable, expecting him to have an immediate front-line role seems like a reach at the moment. That said, we'll be watching for more on the plan for Dell. |

Bills | Joe Brady says 'hope and intent' is for DJ Moore to return after bye Mon Oct 19, 03:20 PM
Bills head coach Joe Brady said on Monday that "the hope and intent" is for WR DJ Moore (shoulder) to be back next week, following Buffalo's bye. Moore was inactive for Sunday's win over the Raiders.
| Footballguys view: As USA Today suggested, outside of a stellar opener against the Texans in Week 1, we haven't really been able to see Moore fully unleashed in the Bills' offense. That's because the shoulder injury he suffered in Week 2 has almost certainly affected Moore's effectiveness (if not outright availability) ever since. Still, the Bills head into their bye sitting at 5-1. If resting Moore for two full weeks before the off week gets him closer to full health, it will have been worth it. |

Colts | Alec Pierce eligible to come off IR but will not practice this week Mon Oct 19, 02:28 PM
Colts WR Alec Pierce, who is eligible to come off injured reserve this week, will not practice, head coach Shane Steichen said on Monday.
| Footballguys view: Pierce is still rehabbing after aggravating his surgically repaired left heel last month. He was in a walking boot in the press box on Sunday, and Steichen said he doesn't expect to see the wideout on the field any time soon. Fantasy investors should share in that expectation. Feel free to move on from Pierce if you haven't already at this point. |

Commanders | Stefon Diggs traveled with team, has 'a shot to play' Monday night Mon Oct 19, 12:58 PM
Commanders WR Stefon Diggs (hamstring), who is questionable for Monday night's game at the 49ers, was on the field Thursday and Friday for the team's install and walkthrough and traveled with the team to California, a sign the team believes he "has a shot to play."
| Footballguys view: Diggs and Terry McLaurin each have 11 receptions for first downs this season. If Diggs plays, it could be the first time in about a month that QB Jayden Daniels, McLaurin, Diggs and TE Chig Okonkwo are on the field together. A final answer is expected when inactives are announced at 6:45 PM ET. |

Saints | Jordyn Tyson makes trip to Paris for Week 7 game Mon Oct 19, 10:51 AM
Saints rookie WR Jordyn Tyson (hamstring) made the trip to Paris ahead of New Orleans' Week 7 game against the Steelers, head coach Kellen Moore said on Monday.
| Footballguys view: Tyson is currently on injured reserve. The fact that he's making the trip suggests his recovery is going well. Remember, Tyson was previously described as "weeks away" from a return, with Week 7 the earliest target. We'll be watching for more. |

| Footballguys view: Douglas was ruled out of the Week 5 game against the Bengals with an ankle injury. His seven catches rank third on the team. We'll monitor his progress in the coming days as the Dolphins ramp up preparation for Sunday's game against the Jets. |

Jaguars | Coen on Brian Thomas Jr. sitting second half: 'Guys have to make plays' Mon Oct 19, 08:18 AM
Jaguars head coach Liam Coen addressed WR Brian Thomas Jr. not playing in the second half of Sunday's 34-31 loss to the Texans in London, saying, "Guys have to make plays."
| Footballguys view: CB/WR Travis Hunter had his most productive offensive day of the season, and his expanded role at wide receiver came at the expense of Thomas, who struggled, dropping two passes -- including one that would have given the Jaguars a chance to attempt a long field goal at the end of the first half. Thomas, who had an issue with drops last year, is currently WR91 overall with an average of 4.2 fantasy points per game. |

Rams | Davante Adams leaves loss with apparent left knee injury, does not return Sun Oct 18, 08:02 PM
Rams WR Davante Adams pulled up in the back of the end zone on the Rams' final drive of Sunday's 18-16 loss to the Cardinals, reached for his left knee, and limped off the field.
| Footballguys view: He did not return, and further specifics of the injury are not yet known. Adams finished with three catches for 39 yards on four targets and has 30 catches for 480 yards and four touchdowns this season. We'll be watching for more on Adams' status as the team begins preparing for a Week 7 game with the Raiders. |

Raiders | Tucker catches 5 passes for 97 yards, two touchdowns in loss to Bills Sun Oct 18, 07:35 PM
Las Vegas Raiders WR Tre Tucker caught 5 passes for 97 yards and two touchdowns on 7 targets in Sunday's 33-30 loss to the Buffalo Bills. He was projected for 8.2 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 24.2.
| Footballguys view: As USA Today suggested, somebody in the wide receiver room finally answered the bell. Tucker's 11-yard score tied the game at 23, and his diving 44-yard touchdown grab finished a 24-second drive. "I think he's faster than I realize he is, and there are times when I just need to launch, and he'll go get it," Kirk Cousins said when asked about his connection with Tucker. The Raiders play the Rams in Week 7. |

Chargers | Ladd McConkey ruled out with concussion vs. Chiefs Sun Oct 18, 05:07 PM
Chargers WR Ladd McConkey was ruled out of Sunday's game against the Chiefs with a concussion. He caught 1 pass for 17 yards on 1 target in Sunday's 22-6 loss.
| Footballguys view: It seems like it is always going to be something with McConkey and durability, which was the one real concern about his translation to the NFL when he was in the 2024 NFL draft class and was selected early in the second round by the Chargers. The Chargers have a bye next week, so hopefully he'll be back for Week 8 with a chance to find his form once the Chargers are through the rough Week 4-10 stretch the schedule makers put together for this beleaguered team. |

Steelers | Bernard catches 11 passes for 87 yards, a touchdown in win over Buccaneers Sun Oct 18, 04:45 PM
Pittsburgh Steelers WR Germie Bernard caught 11 passes for 87 yards and a touchdown on 12 targets in Sunday's 26-19 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He was projected for 10.1 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 20.2.
| Footballguys view: Bernard had a massive PPR day and scored the game-winning touchdown in overtime with three of his teammates at the position out for this game. Bernard was a priority waiver-wire pickup last week and will be a strong WR3/Flex option against the Saints in Paris next week. |

Giants | Nabers catches 12 passes for 165 yards in loss to Saints Sun Oct 18, 04:31 PM
New York Giants WR Malik Nabers caught 12 passes for 165 yards on 15 targets in Sunday's 34-27 loss to the New Orleans Saints. He was projected for 13.4 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 22.5.
| Footballguys view: The good news is that Nabers put up a good chunk of this with J.J. McCarthy after Jameis Winston was benched. McCarthy wasn't able to get on the same page with Justin Jefferson last year, but that doesn't seem to be an issue with his newfound Southeast Louisiana pedigree No. 1 receiver with the Giants. |

Patriots | Douglas catches 7 passes for 86 yards, a touchdown in win over Jets Sun Oct 18, 04:15 PM
New England Patriots WR DeMario Douglas caught 7 passes for 86 yards and a touchdown on 8 targets and lost 1 fumble in Sunday's 26-19 win over the New York Jets. He was projected for 5.7 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 16.1.
| Footballguys view: Douglas had two scores in a part-time role in Week 5, and he took on more work this week after Romeo Doubs left with a shoulder injury in the first quarter. He should be a clear add in fantasy leagues. He has the most dependable chemistry with Drake Maye of any of the healthy Patriots wide receivers after A.J. Brown looked very rusty in his return against the Jets. |

Jets | Cooper catches 6 passes for 103 yards, a touchdown in loss to Patriots Sun Oct 18, 04:15 PM
New York Jets WR Omar Cooper Jr. caught 6 passes for 103 yards and a touchdown on 7 targets in Sunday's 26-19 loss to the New England Patriots. He was projected for 2.8 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 19.3.
| Footballguys view: Cooper scored a long touchdown against a busted coverage and still would have led the team in receiving yards and catches if you took that play away. Adonai Mitchell should be back soon from his finger injury, so you have to wonder how Garrett Wilson is going to deliver the WR2 value we expected when he was going in the third or fourth round with Cooper and Mitchell both looking like very viable targets that Geno Smith has good chemistry with. Cooper will be an add across formats with a good matchup against the Dolphins next week. |
