Rams | Rookie CJ Daniels Jr. expected to see more opportunities in Week 10 at Arizona Thu Nov 12, 05:30 PM
Rams rookie WR CJ Daniels Jr. is expected to see more opportunities in Sunday's Week 10 game against the Cardinals after sparse playing time so far this season. Los Angeles will be without its top two receivers, Puka Nacua and Davante Adams, and Rams coaches and teammates said they are looking forward to Daniels getting more chances, with one saying they are 'really encouraged by his development.'
| Footballguys view: Daniels is an interesting rookie who had three stops in college at Liberty, LSU, and Miami. He's not a burner, but Daniels can get open with creative route-running. Plus, Daniels is great at ripping the ball away from his defender - so tight coverage is something he's used to working against. We like him in dynasty formats, but can't yet trust him as anything more than a crazy 'what the heck' flex in Week 10. |

Texans WR Marvin Harrison Jr. (hamstring) did not practice on Thursday. Harrison had been limited at Wednesday's practice.
| Footballguys view: After being limited on Wednesday, a missed practice on Thursday could be an injury that was sustained during practice. Fantasy GMs will be looking for other options this week, and you seriously have to consider Harrison as a 'sabotage drop' (thanks, Charch!) if he continues to be 'mid' for the Texans. In three games with the Texans, Harrison has six catches for 60 yards and one touchdown. There are plenty of boom-bust flex options, even though many won't have the natural talent of Harrison. |

Jets WR Omar Cooper Jr. (ankle) was limited at practice on Thursday. Head coach Aaron Glenn said on Wednesday that he thinks Cooper will be 'just fine.'
| Footballguys view: The rookie now has back-to-back limited sessions this week in practice. That puts him on track to play against the Bills on Sunday. Cooper is a WR4/deep flex option for Fantasy GMs in Week 10. |

Lions WR Amon-Ra St. Brown is nursing a rib injury, but "all indications are that he'll be a go on Sunday" against the Patriots in Germany.
| Footballguys view: St. Brown played through this rib injury last week, and he caught 8-of-10 targets for 86 yards in the Lions' Week 9 win over the Dolphins. He should be good to go for the game against the Patriots, and we're projecting St. Brown in his normal WR1 spot. |
Amon-Ra St. Brown player page
49ers WR Mike Evans (Achilles) was not seen during the early open portion of practice on Thursday. Evans also missed practice on Wednesday. San Francisco plays at the Cowboys on Sunday.
| Footballguys view: Reports are suggesting Evans is questionable 'at best' for Sunday's game against the Cowboys. The 49ers made a move at the trade deadline for Keenan Allen, and we should see the veteran worked into the mix ASAP. In fact, we like Allen in the WR4/deep flex range for Fantasy GMs in Week 10. |

Titans WR Carnell Tate (shoulder) did side work with the training staff in the bubble during Thursday's practice, ahead of Sunday's game against the Jaguars. Tate did not practice on Wednesday.
| Footballguys view: Working out with trainers does not mean Tate is playing in Week 10 (obviously), but this is a step in the right direction. The Titans are coming off their bye week, and Tate clearly needs more time to heal. Check back on his Friday status, and know that Tate is getting close even if he doesn't play against the Jaguars. |

Texans WR Tank Dell "will be ready to go" for Sunday's game at the Browns, offensive coordinator Nick Caley said on Thursday. "Consistent, he'll be ready to go. No restrictions with Tank. He's got juice for days," Caley said.
| Footballguys view: Dell, who has a hand injury, caught four passes for 105 yards and a touchdown in last Sunday's win over the Chargers. This week against the Browns, we've got Dell in the WR4/flex range for Fantasy GMs. |

Cowboys WR George Pickens (hamstring) was involved in individual drills during the portion of Thursday's practice open to the media. Pickens also went through individual drills on Wednesday, when he was limited.
| Footballguys view: Pickens was limited last week in practice, and the Cowboys decided to hold him out of action in Week 9. With two limited practices this week, the Cowboys are in the same position. We'll see if he can be full on Friday or if it's another limited status...which makes him extra questionable for Week 10. |

Jets WR Garrett Wilson, who is in the concussion protocol, took part in positional drills on Thursday without the red non-contact jersey. The beat writer said Wilson "looks good for Sunday" against the Bills.
| Footballguys view: Jets HC Aaron Glenn said earlier this week that he's 'very hopeful' that Wilson would play against the Bills. If he clears concussion protocol, Wilson should be able to produce at WR2 levels in Week 10. |

Browns rookie WR Denzel Boston (toe) said he was "working for it" to be back on the practice field Thursday, but he was not present for the open portion of practice. Head coach Todd Monken had said on Wednesday that he anticipated Boston returning to practice Thursday. Boston did not practice Wednesday.
| Footballguys view: Boston caught 6-of-7 targets for 98 yards in the Browns' Week 9 loss to the Saints. If he plays, he's a WR3/flex play against the Texans in Week 10. He's working towards playing, so Friday's practice should tell us a lot about his availability. Two DNPs to begin the week is not a great sign for his status. |

Dolphins WR Chris Bell was not seen practicing on Thursday. Bell, who has a knee injury, was limited at Wednesday's practice.

Patriots WR A.J. Brown (knee) was seen loosening up at the start of practice on Thursday. Brown was limited in Wednesday's practice after missing the Week 9 game against the Packers.
| Footballguys view: Patriots HC Mike Vrabel said Wednesday that Brown will travel to Germany for Sunday's game against the Lions, but that travel doesn't guarantee he will play. With a bye in Week 11, there's a chance the Patriots give Brown another week off to get as close to 100 percent as possible. Let's circle back Friday. |

Seahawks WR Rashid Shaheed was a full participant in Wednesday's practice ahead of Sunday's Week 10 game at the Raiders. Shaheed has missed the last two games with a knee injury, including Sunday's win over the Cardinals.

49ers WR Keenan Allen, acquired from the Colts at Tuesday's trade deadline, is still awaiting possible NFL discipline stemming from an offseason DUI arrest in Indianapolis. "We know the league handles that. It could go either way. So we're waiting for them to say," head coach Kyle Shanahan said on Wednesday, adding, "It's still possible [he will be suspended]." Allen could face a three-game suspension, California Post's Edward Lewis reported on August 30. Allen had 40 receptions for 351 yards and one touchdown in eight games with the Colts this season and is expected to be an immediate contributor in an injury-depleted 49ers receiver room.

Falcons rookie WR Zachariah Branch did not participate in practice on Wednesday because of a hamstring injury. The injury held him out of Atlanta's last game against the Bengals. The Falcons host the Chiefs on Sunday.

Chiefs WR Xavier Worthy (hamstring) was a full participant in practice on Wednesday ahead of Sunday's Week 10 game at Atlanta.
| Footballguys view: Worthy left last Sunday's game against the Jets with an apparent hamstring injury, and head coach Andy Reid labeled him as "day-to-day" during his Monday press conference. |

Vikings WR Jauan Jennings (calf) was estimated as not participating on Wednesday's injury report. Jennings missed Monday's game against the Bills with the calf injury. The Vikings did not practice Wednesday and are scheduled to practice Thursday and Friday ahead of Sunday's Week 10 game at Green Bay.

Giants WR Malik Nabers is dealing with a knee issue heading into Thursday's Week 10 game against the Commanders. He will play and does not carry an injury designation.
| Footballguys view: Nabers caught 5-of-8 targets for 43 yards in the Giants' Week 9 win over the Eagles. It was a down day for the superstar receiver, and we're expecting him to have a bounce-back game against the Commanders. We've got Nabers as a WR1 in Week 10. |
Malik Nabers player page
Rams WR Puka Nacua (knee/toe) will be listed as a non-participant on Wednesday's estimated injury report, head coach Sean McVay said.
| Footballguys view: He's not on IR for roster-manuevering reasons, but it's likely we don't see Nacua for some time. Nacua is dealing with MCL and PCL knee sprains and turf toe and is expected to be out for some time. |
Puka Nacua player page
Dolphins rookie WR Chris Bell (knee) was limited at practice on Wednesday. Bell was also limited by the knee in a Wednesday practice in early October.

Texans QB C.J. Stroud said on Wednesday that WR Xavier Hutchinson is "the most reliable" player on the team. Stroud said Hutchinson works the hardest and sprints on every play, and that he is not surprised by Hutchinson's production.
| Footballguys view: Hutchinson is a great blocker, and he can get some looks near pay dirt from time to time. Against the Browns in Week 10, we've got Hutchinson as a touchdown-dependent deep flex play. |

Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald said on Wednesday there is "good news on a lot of those guys" when asked about WR Rashid Shaheed (knee), DT Leonard Williams, DE Uchenna Nwosu and OT Charles Cross. Macdonald said some of them will be able to get some work in on Wednesday, as the team won't go full-speed in practice. He said no one has been ruled out or in for Sunday's Week 10 game at the Raiders. Shaheed and Williams both missed last Sunday's game against the Cardinals.

The Rams are not placing WR Puka Nacua on injured reserve because of roster mechanics, but he "will be out for some time." Nacua has a knee injury.
| Footballguys view: Nacua has to miss time, but putting him on IR would rob someone else of being labeled "designated to return." For now, the Rams are keeping Nacua on the 53-man roster where he just takes up a spot. They're hoping to get Davante Adams back at some point in early December. |
Puka Nacua player page
49ers WR Deebo Samuel Sr. (hamstring) was a limited participant in practice on Wednesday. Samuel was ruled out for last Sunday's Week 9 win over the Raiders with the hamstring injury. WR Mike Evans (Achilles) did not practice Wednesday.
| Footballguys view: There is a chance that Samuel can return to the field this week against the Cowboys. In fact, Samuel was quoted as saying he's ready to reporters at the facility. Samuel is a WR3/flex play upon his return with a chance to do more as a leading receiver for the 49ers. |
Deebo Samuel Sr. player page
49ers WR Mike Evans (Achilles) was listed as not participating on the team's pre-practice report on Wednesday. Evans is dealing with Achilles tendinitis, and the 49ers said Monday they were 'not expecting' him back this week. San Francisco visits the Cowboys on Sunday.
| Footballguys view: Evans will get all the time he needs. The 49ers have designs of making a run at the Super Bowl, and they're not going to jeopardize Evans' chances of helping them get to the big game. The 49ers traded for Keenan Allen, so Evans will get plenty of time to get right before his return. |
Mike Evans player page
Rams WR Davante Adams suffered a significant hamstring injury in Week 6. The Rams' timeline has him returning as soon as early December or as late as Week 16.
| Footballguys view: The Rams have been "hopeful" that Adams could return in Week 13 against the Chiefs. So, an early December return is not out of the question. The Rams are down to Konata Mumpfield, Tutu Atwell and CJ Daniels at the wide receiver position. They'll do the heavy lifting while Adams continues to recover and Puka Nacua is out. |
Davante Adams player page
Patriots WR A.J. Brown (knee) will travel with the team to Germany for Sunday's Week 10 game against the Lions, head coach Mike Vrabel said on Wednesday.
| Footballguys view: Vrabel added that just because players travel doesn't necessarily mean they will play, but the decision gives Brown a chance to suit up. Brown was ruled out for last Sunday's Week 9 game against the Packers. |
A.J. Brown player page
Cowboys WR George Pickens (hamstring/shoulder) was going through individual drills during Wednesday's practice. Pickens missed last Sunday's game against the Colts with the shoulder and hamstring injuries. The Cowboys host the 49ers on Sunday.
| Footballguys view: Pickens was out there, but his status for Week 10 is unknown. Let's see if he can be a full participant by Friday at the latest. |
George Pickens player page
Chiefs WR Xavier Worthy (hamstring) is scheduled to practice on Wednesday, head coach Andy Reid said. Reid said Worthy is "feeling pretty good." Worthy went down grabbing his hamstring in Sunday's win over the Jets and was considered day-to-day on Monday.
| Footballguys view: Hamstring injuries for speedsters like Worthy can take more time to heal. However, it sounds like the young receiver is feeling good. With Josh Downs added before the trade deadline, Worthy is pushed down the depth chart and the pecking order. Worthy's role may find him off fantasy rosters and onto the waiver wire. |
Xavier Worthy player page
Panthers WR Xavier Legette returned to practice on Wednesday. Legette was placed on injured reserve in early October with a knee injury, and the team said Monday it would open his 21-day practice window this week.
| Footballguys view: Legette returns to a full practice on Wednesday, so there's a chance he suits up in Week 10. Fantasy GMs can leave him on the waiver wire for now as there's not a clear-cut (and fantasy relevant) role for him currently in the Panthers' passing game. |
Xavier Legette player page
Titans rookie WR Carnell Tate (shoulder) did not practice on Wednesday as Tennessee began preparations for Sunday's Week 10 game against the Jaguars. Tate had earlier been ruled out of the Titans' game at the Bengals with the shoulder injury.
| Footballguys view: Tate suffered the injury three weeks ago, and it still needs more rest. It's Wednesday, but the team is coming off a bye, and that's a sign Tate may not be ready for Week 10. Let's see if he can practice on Thursday or Friday. |
Carnell Tate player page
Browns head coach Todd Monken said on Wednesday that he anticipates rookie WR Denzel Boston (toe) being back in practice on Thursday. Boston was not expected to practice Wednesday. The Browns host the Texans on Sunday.

Colts HC Shane Steichen, asked whether WR Alec Pierce (heel) has a chance to return this season, would not commit to one. "We'll see. Like I said last week, he's still in that rehab process, and I'm not going to put a timetable on return," Steichen said. Pierce remains on injured reserve.
| Footballguys view: The Colts are looking for help at the position after trading away both Keenan Allen and Josh Downs. However, they're not going to rush Pierce back into action - especially in a lost season. Pierce has been on IR since Week 3, and there's no telling if he's going to be cleared to play anytime soon. |
Alec Pierce player page
Commanders WR Treylon Burks (foot) did not participate in practice on Wednesday, which was a rest day. Burks is expected to play Thursday night against the Giants. He was listed as a full participant on Tuesday's estimated practice report.
| Footballguys view: Burks got one day of practice in this week as the team prepares for a game against the Giants on Thursday night. Burks could be out there for his usual number of snaps, but we only see him as a 'what the heck' flex play for Fantasy GMs in Week 10. |
Treylon Burks player page
Browns WR Denzel Boston is not expected to practice on Wednesday due to a toe injury.
| Footballguys view: Toe injuries can linger, and they need time to heal. Boston caught 6-of-7 targets for 98 yards in the Browns' Week 9 loss to the Saints. He did that with Shedeur Sanders under center, and now Deshaun Watson is back as the Browns' starter. If Boston is able to play against the Texans on Sunday, we like him as a flex option for Fantasy GMs. |
Denzel Boston player page
Jets head coach Aaron Glenn said on Wednesday that he thinks rookie WR Omar Cooper Jr. will be "just fine." The Jets host the Bills on Sunday.
| Footballguys view: Cooper was limited on Wednesday with an ankle problem he's been dealing with since Sunday's game. The rookie had 58 yards in the Jets' Week 9 loss against the Chiefs. He might be limited to kick off the week of practice, but it sounds like the rookie receiver could be nearing a full participation later in the week. |

Jets WR Garrett Wilson, coming off a concussion, will return to practice on a limited basis on Wednesday. Wilson was ruled out for last Sunday's Week 9 game at the Chiefs with the concussion. The Jets host the Bills on Sunday.
| Footballguys view: Wilson has to go through the league's concussion protocol, something he'll try to do this week. Jets HC Aaron Glenn said he's "very hopeful" that Wilson is able to play in Week 10 against the Bills. Circle back on Friday to check his status. |

The Rams did not add a wide receiver before Tuesday's trade deadline, a day after head coach Sean McVay said WR Puka Nacua will likely be placed on injured reserve with PCL and MCL injuries to his right knee plus turf toe from Sunday's game against Washington. Rams WR Jordan Whittington was activated after the deadline. With Nacua out and WR Davante Adams not likely to return until the end of the month, QB Matthew Stafford's receiving corps will feature Tutu Atwell, Konata Mumpfield and Whittington, along with the team's tight ends.

The Rams made no trades before Tuesday's 4 p.m. ET NFL trade deadline despite losing WRs Puka Nacua and Davante Adams, DT Poona Ford to a season-ending triceps injury and CB Jaylen Watson to shoulder surgery. Los Angeles was limited by its salary cap space and has only four selections in the 2027 NFL Draft. Instead, the Rams brought back WR Xavier Smith, signing him off the 49ers' practice squad, leaving QB Matthew Stafford throwing to a receiving corps featuring Tutu Atwell, Konata Mumpfield and rookie CJ Daniels. WR Josh Downs, a reported Rams target, was traded to the Chiefs.

Patriots WR Romeo Doubs is expected to return from injured reserve "in the near future."
| Footballguys view: Doubs is eligible to come back after New England's Week 10 game against the Lions on Sunday. It's not yet clear he will do so, however. He was placed on injured reserve in October with a shoulder injury. We'll be watching to see if his practice window is open this week, which would be the first step in his return. |

The Colts are trading WR Josh Downs to the Chiefs, a trade NFL Network's Ian Rapoport also reported. Kansas City sends fourth- and fifth-round picks to Indianapolis in exchange for Downs and a seventh-round pick, according to a source. The Chiefs had said they "will explore what's available" at wide receiver.
| Footballguys view: Downs, who recently requested a trade, got his wish. In his fourth season, Downs has caught 33 passes for 354 yards so far in 2026. He had 58 catches for 566 yards with four touchdowns in 16 games last year. The Chiefs have been looking for more depth at receiver and now have a new weapon in Downs. He could also play 18 games, as the Chiefs have already had their bye while the Colts don't have theirs until Week 13. |
