Vikings | Jauan Jennings nixed trade back to 49ers, decided to stay in Minnesota Sun Nov 1, 01:21 PM
The Vikings and 49ers had a deal in place to trade Vikings WR Jauan Jennings back to San Francisco, but Jennings decided to stay in Minnesota, Fox Sports' Jay Glazer reported. The deal was contingent on Jennings getting on a Zoom call with 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan and GM John Lynch, and Jennings passed. Jennings, who spent his entire career with San Francisco before signing with the Vikings, had two catches for 34 yards against the Colts last Sunday after totaling two catches for nine yards in four games before that.

Saints | Jordyn Tyson could return from hamstring injury as early as Week 9 vs. Browns Sun Nov 1, 11:27 AM
Saints rookie WR Jordyn Tyson could return from the hamstring injury that has sidelined him as early as Week 9 against the Browns on November 8, according to sources. Even if he does not return for that game, Tyson "is not far away from playing." Tyson, the No. 8 overall pick, is on injured reserve and has been designated to return.
| Footballguys view: We hope the Saints are extra cautious with Tyson. This is reportedly a different hamstring injury than the one that plagued him from late last season in college through the entire pre-draft process, but the team should still make sure that Tyson has no limitations before he returns to the field. He was the story of Saints training camp before suffering the new hamstring injury, so he could be an instant impact player that boosts the value of Tyler Shough while being a high ceiling weekly play as a WR3/Flex. He'll be a hot waiver add next week in leagues that don't have injured reserve slots. |

Raiders | Jack Bech activated from injured reserve ahead of Week 8 at Jets Sat Oct 31, 03:09 PM
The Raiders activated WR Jack Bech from injured reserve on Saturday ahead of Sunday's Week 8 game against the Jets. Bech was placed on injured reserve on Sept. 29 after breaking his forearm in the Week 3 game against the Saints, and he was designated to return to practice on Monday. He has five receptions for 48 yards and a touchdown in three games this season. The Raiders placed DE Patrick Johnson on injured reserve in a corresponding move.
| Footballguys view: Bech should be back in action, so Fantasy GMs in deeper leagues can stash him if you've got roster space. The Raiders' passing attack is all about Brock Bowers, Tre Tucker, and Ashton Jeanty. We'll see how Bech mixes in behind those guys. In three games this season, Bech has started one game, been targeted six times, has five catches for 48 yards, and one touchdown. |

Patriots | A.J. Brown downgraded to out for Sunday at Dolphins Sat Oct 31, 01:01 PM
Patriots WR A.J. Brown was downgraded to out on Saturday for Sunday's Week 8 game at the Dolphins. Brown had been listed as questionable with an ankle injury after missing practice on Thursday and Friday.
| Footballguys view: Brown had a 'flare up' from his existing knee injury, and the Patriots want to give him more recovery time. The team is also going to be without Mack Hollins and Romeo Doubs in Week 8. DeMario Douglas, Kyle Williams, and Efton Chism are the healthy receivers on the roster. Douglas is a WR2/flex, Williams is a 'what the heck' flex, while Chism is a WR4/deep flex option in PPR formats. |

Jaguars | Belief growing within league that Jaguars will trade Brian Thomas Jr. by deadline Sat Oct 31, 08:38 AM
The Jaguars have been fending off trade interest in WR Brian Thomas Jr. for over a year. The former first-round pick's recent benching and ongoing struggles have ramped up belief within the league that Jacksonville will move him by the trade deadline.
| Footballguys view: Earlier this week, Jaguars HC Liam Coen said Thomas Jr. is "gonna be able to help us make plays this week." That's a great notion, but Thomas has been held without a catch over the last two contests. In fact, Thomas has not caught a pass since Week 4 against the Bengals (two catches, 17 yards, one touchdown). He's not a fantasy factor in his current, almost non-existent, role. A change of scenery is likely best for Thomas. We'll see if the Jaguars move on before the trade deadline. |

Eagles | Makai Lemon set for 'another big workload' without Smith, Wicks; likely punt returner Sat Oct 31, 03:00 AM
Eagles rookie WR Makai Lemon will have another big workload on offense in Sunday night's game at Washington, with the Eagles without WR DeVonta Smith (hamstring) and WR Dontayvion Wicks (ankle). With Britain Covey out this week with a knee injury, the Eagles will likely turn to Lemon at punt returner as well; he took over for Covey during the Cowboys game but did not get a chance to return a punt. "Obviously, you can see he's doing a really good job kind of progressing as a receiver," special teams coordinator Michael Clay said. "He's doing the same thing as a punt returner."
| Footballguys view: Lemon caught 7-of-8 targets for 67 yards and a touchdown in the Eagles' Week 7 loss to the Cowboys. Against the Commanders on Sunday Night Football, we've got Lemon in the WR3/flex range as one of the top options in the Eagles' passing attack. |

Chargers | Ladd McConkey set to play Sunday vs. Rams Fri Oct 30, 04:36 PM
Chargers WR Ladd McConkey is set to play in Sunday's Week 8 game at the Rams. McConkey had been in the concussion protocol this week but was a full participant in practice on Wednesday.
| Footballguys view: McConkey looked great for about the first quarter of Week 1 before suffering a rib injury. Other injuries have piled up since, and McConkey's season has been mostly lost. The Chargers can hopefully figure things out coming out of last week's bye. Until they can show that, though, McConkey is a risky WR3. |

Chargers | Tre' Harris off injury report, set to play vs. Rams Fri Oct 30, 04:35 PM
Chargers WR Tre' Harris (hamstring) is off the injury report and set to play in Sunday's Week 8 game at the Rams. Harris was limited in practice on Wednesday and Thursday.
| Footballguys view: With the winless Chargers coming off their bye, the hope is that they made some changes to get the offense back on track. You can't trust Harris in lineups, but he's worth a stash in extremely deep leagues. |

Commanders | Treylon Burks listed as questionable for Sunday night vs. Eagles Fri Oct 30, 04:06 PM
Commanders WR Treylon Burks (foot) is questionable for Sunday night's Week 8 game against the Eagles. He is one of three Commanders players listed as questionable. Burks did not practice on Thursday.
| Footballguys view: With Terry McLaurin out for the year, the WR2 spot is up for grabs. Stefon Diggs should be the team's primary guy, while Burks, rookie Antonio Williams, and tight end Chig Okonkwo all look to carve out a role. Burks is a former first-round pick who has struggled to stay healthy between exciting feats of athleticism. He's worth a stash in deep leagues, but fantasy managers have understandably lost patience with Burks over the years. |

Jaguars | Jakobi Meyers questionable after missing Friday practice Fri Oct 30, 04:04 PM
Jaguars WR Jakobi Meyers (hamstring/ankle) did not practice on Friday and is listed as questionable for Sunday's Week 8 game against the Colts.

Rain and a wet field are in the forecast for Sunday.

Eagles | Dontayvion Wicks ruled out again for Sunday night Fri Oct 30, 03:54 PM
Eagles WR Dontayvion Wicks (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday night's Week 8 game against the Commanders. Wicks also missed last Monday's game against the Cowboys with the ankle injury. WR DeVonta Smith (hamstring) is also out for Sunday.
| Footballguys view: Wicks will miss his second straight game, as will DeVonta Smith. Expect Makai Lemon to be the team's top receiver, and he's a solid WR3 against the Commanders. |
Dontayvion Wicks player page
Eagles | DeVonta Smith ruled out again for Sunday night Fri Oct 30, 03:51 PM
Eagles WR DeVonta Smith (hamstring) is out again for Sunday night's game against the Commanders. Smith did not practice Wednesday and remained sidelined at Thursday's and Friday's practices.
| Footballguys view: Smith missed Weeks 4 and 5 with a hamstring injury, played through it in Week 6, and will now miss a second straight game. The team is downplaying the severity, and he hasn't been placed on IR, which is a promising sign. Still, being declared out on a Friday after a full week of DNPs isn't reassuring. He'll hope to return to practice next week. Makai Lemon had the best game of his young career last week and should serve as the team's top option again on Sunday night against the Commanders. |

Titans | Carnell Tate ruled out for Sunday at Bengals Fri Oct 30, 03:43 PM
Titans rookie WR Carnell Tate (shoulder) has been ruled out for Sunday's Week 8 game at the Bengals. Tate did not practice Wednesday or Thursday this week.
| Footballguys view: Tate missed practice all week, so it's no surprise that he won't be good to go in this one. Wan'Dale Robinson should be the team's top option, working primarily underneath. Elic Ayomanor should see some extra work out wide, but he'll draw tough coverage from DJ Turner II. Tony Pollard is a decent volume-based play this week, but there's not much else to trust in the Titans offense. |

Lions | Amon-Ra St. Brown off injury report, 'good to go' for Week 8 Fri Oct 30, 03:33 PM
Lions WR Amon-Ra St. Brown (ankle) is off the injury report and good to go for Sunday's Week 8 game against the Vikings. St. Brown was a full participant in practice Thursday.
| Footballguys view: St. Brown was one of a handful of vets who missed Wednesday's practice, but he'll play Sunday against the Vikings after practicing on Thursday and Friday. He's a plug-and-play WR1. |
Amon-Ra St. Brown player page
Jaguars | Jakobi Meyers questionable, says he 'felt okay' despite missing practice Fri Oct 30, 03:24 PM
Jaguars WR Jakobi Meyers (hamstring/ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Colts. Meyers did not practice on Friday but told the beat writer in the locker room on Friday that he felt okay. He was limited at Wednesday's practice.
| Footballguys view: Meyers is a tough veteran, no stranger to playing through injuries. He was limited Wednesday and Thursday and didn't practice Friday, but you can't really apply typical trends to Meyers' outlook. If he tells the media he feels okay, he'll probably play. Sunday inactives publish at 11:30 a.m. ET. Check back in before kickoff to see if Meyers is active. If so, he's a viable WR3. If not, expect rookie Josh Cameron to see some extra snaps. |

Rams | Jordan Whittington questionable after back tightened up following Thursday practice Fri Oct 30, 02:31 PM
Rams WR Jordan Whittington is questionable for Sunday's game against the Chargers. Whittington's back tightened up after Thursday's practice.
| Footballguys view: Injuries have been common for the Rams this year, and Whittington already missed one game earlier this year due to an unrelated injury. There was hope that his role would grow after Davante Adams suffered a ruptured hamstring, but Whittington hasn't played more than 21% of the offensive snaps since Week 4. He's firmly benchable in all formats until we see a drastic change in usage. |

Chiefs | Rashee Rice 'will be up' Sunday against the Broncos Fri Oct 30, 02:09 PM
Chiefs WR Rashee Rice (hamstring) will be active for Sunday's Week 8 game at the Broncos, Sam McDowell reported on Friday. Rice was limited in practice on Wednesday and Thursday in his return to the field.
| Footballguys view: Rice strung together back-to-back games with 80-plus yards before exiting Week 4's game with a hamstring injury. He returned to practice this week and should be good to go on Sunday against the Broncos. The Chiefs passing offense has sputtered the last couple of weeks, and Rice should resume his role as the team's primary target. He's a WR2 this week and has extra value in PPR leagues. |
Rashee Rice player page
Bills | DJ Moore listed as questionable for Week 8 vs. Ravens Fri Oct 30, 01:42 PM
Bills WR DJ Moore (shoulder) will be listed as questionable for Sunday's Week 8 game against the Ravens, head coach Joe Brady said on Friday. Moore practiced in a red non-contact jersey on Wednesday and Thursday.
| Footballguys view: Moore's injury is hard to read, as he's recovering from an aggravation of a previous shoulder injury. He hasn't played since Week 4, when he was forced to exit early. The upside for Moore is obvious, and we saw it when he had 100 yards and a touchdown in Week 1. Since then, injuries have forced him to leave early, play limited, or miss entirely. If he's active, he can be a risky WR3 start. Once he proves healthy, he'll be in the weekly discussion as a high-end WR2. |

Patriots | Vrabel says A.J. Brown's status for Sunday 'is questionable' Fri Oct 30, 01:12 PM
Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel said on Friday that WR A.J. Brown is questionable for Sunday's game at the Dolphins. "His status is questionable," Vrabel said. Brown, who has a knee injury, was not seen at practice on Thursday or Friday.
| Footballguys view: Brown was a limited participant at Wednesday's practice and then downgraded to back-to-back DNPs. While the team hasn't said anything officially, Daniel Rotman said Brown "will be out multiple weeks due to injury." Brown landed on IR after injuring his ankle in Week 1, but his recent injury involved his knee. Reports swirled this offseason about a degenerative knee condition that caused the Rams to back out of a trade, but the Patriots were willing to sign off on it. There's hope that Brown can recover and be the guy the Patriots traded for, but he's looking like a riskier play as we get deeper into the season. With an afternoon kickoff, fantasy managers will want a plan if Brown can't go. We'll hope for more information before the early games kick off. |

Falcons | Olamide Zaccheaus questionable for Sunday against Buccaneers Fri Oct 30, 01:11 PM
Falcons WR Olamide Zaccheaus is questionable for Sunday's Week 8 game at the Buccaneers. He is one of eight Falcons players listed as questionable on Friday's injury report.
| Footballguys view: The Falcons offense has been hyper-concentrated on Bijan Robinson, Drake London, and Kyle Pitts Sr. Almost any spillover has gone to Jahan Dotson or Brian Robinson Jr. Even if Zaccheaus is active, he's a touchdown-or-bust option for managers with no better options. |

Buccaneers | Emeka Egbuka out vs. Falcons despite clearing concussion protocol, foot still a problem Fri Oct 30, 12:28 PM
Buccaneers WR Emeka Egbuka has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Falcons even though he has cleared the concussion protocol. Egbuka's foot injury is still a problem, and he was limited Wednesday and Thursday before missing Friday's practice.
| Footballguys view: The Buccaneers won last week on the back of their defense, while Baker Mayfield needed only 11 pass attempts. The Falcons could push them a bit harder this week, but Mayfield hasn't looked like himself so far this year. Chris Godwin Jr. and Ted Hurst III should step into larger roles with Egbuka out, but both are risky WR4s rather than must-start options. Expect the Buccaneers to lean on their defense and Bucky Irving, as that's proven to be a winning recipe. |
Emeka Egbuka player page
Eagles | DeVonta Smith 'still sidelined' at Friday practice Fri Oct 30, 12:22 PM
Eagles WR DeVonta Smith (hamstring) was still sidelined at Friday's practice, the team's last of the week. Smith did not practice on Wednesday or Thursday either, and he missed the Week 7 game against the Cowboys.
| Footballguys view: It sure seems like Smith won't play this week. The Eagles are decimated by injuries now and have little reason to rush Smith back. Expect Makai Lemon to operate as the team's top receiver on Sunday night. |
DeVonta Smith player page
Bengals | Ja'Marr Chase 'good to go' for Week 8 against Titans Fri Oct 30, 12:16 PM
Bengals WR Ja'Marr Chase is good to go for Sunday's game against the Titans, head coach Zac Taylor said on Friday. Chase, who has been dealing with an ankle injury, missed practice on Wednesday before returning as a full participant on Thursday.
| Footballguys view: The full participation on Thursday calmed any concerns after Wednesday's DNP. Start Chase in your fantasy lineups without any reservations. |
