Saints | Jordyn Tyson will not practice this week, per GM Mickey Loomis Wed Oct 21, 09:23 AM
Saints WR Jordyn Tyson will not practice this week, general manager Mickey Loomis said on Wednesday. Tyson, a rookie first-round pick, is on injured reserve with a hamstring strain and has been designated to return.
| Footballguys view: He made the trip to Paris with the team for the Week 7 game against the Steelers. However, Tyson could still be a couple of weeks away from returning to the field. Bryce Lance will be the no.2 receiver behind Chris Olave in Week 7, and we've got him in the super crazy deep 'what the heck' flex range. Olave is a WR1 as per usual. |

Patriots | A.J. Brown on the practice field Tuesday 'working on his craft' Tue Oct 20, 03:25 PM
Patriots WR A.J. Brown, who is dealing with an ankle sprain, was on the practice field Tuesday "working on his craft." Brown was limited in Monday's practice ahead of Thursday's game.
| Footballguys view: In his first game back from a high ankle sprain, Brown had a career-high three drops. He played 52 of a possible 68 snaps. As ESPN.com's Mike Reiss noted, Drake Maye targeted Brown a team-high 10 times, and the connection usually wasn't on target -- Brown totaled three receptions for 27 yards. Perhaps most disappointing was when Brown had a beautiful deep ball up the right sideline go through his hands, and later dropped a pass on fourth down. We expect a better version of Brown this week after he's had a chance to knock some rust off. |

Commanders | Terry McLaurin suffers torn patellar tendon, done for the season Tue Oct 20, 03:03 PM
Commanders WR Terry McLaurin has suffered a torn patellar tendon and is done for the season, the MRI revealed on Tuesday. McLaurin was injured in Monday's loss to the 49ers and did not return. Head coach Dan Quinn had called the knee injury "significant" after the game.
| Footballguys view: McLaurin, who had a 27-yard catch before the injury on Monday and 15 catches for 230 yards and a touchdown in five games this season, also missed seven games last season while dealing with a quad injury. The Commanders have McLaurin under contract for two more seasons, but his future with the team could be impacted by the level of offseason changes that go on in Washington. Meanwhile, Treylon Burks and Antonio Williams move up in a receiving corps that will be led by Stefon Diggs and tight end Chig Okonkwo. |

Shanahan calls Mike Evans' injury 'Achilles tendonitis,' hopes he plays in Week 7 Tue Oct 20, 01:02 AM
49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said after Monday night's game that WR Mike Evans has Achilles tendonitis, which he called "something that he's had before" and that "bothered him throughout the week." Shanahan said he does not think it is "a long-term thing," noting it "almost cost him this game and ended up costing him two quarters." "Hopefully he'll be able to play next week. But if not, we'll have to have the rest of the group step up and hopefully get him healed up by after the bye week," Shanahan said. San Francisco plays at the Falcons in Week 7.
| Footballguys view: NBC Sports Bay Area beat writer Jennifer Lee Chan reported that sources told her that Evans' Achilles is indeed intact, but he "will miss a little time." The source also independently offered the same assessment that Shanahan did: Evans could potentially return after the bye week "if all things stay according to plan." We'll be watching for more. |

Commanders | Dan Quinn says Terry McLaurin's knee injury is 'significant' Tue Oct 20, 12:15 AM
Commanders head coach Dan Quinn said the knee injury to WR Terry McLaurin is significant. McLaurin will undergo more tests on Tuesday to determine the severity of the injury.
| Footballguys view: McLaurin was carted off and did not return in Monday's loss to the 49ers. While it's unclear how long McLaurin may be sidelined, the injury is a tough sign for a Commanders group that is struggling this season. McLaurin, 31, has been a staple for Washington since being drafted in the third round in 2019. He missed one game (Week 4) due to a hamstring injury but still leads the Commanders with 230 receiving yards this season, including a 27-yard catch early in Monday's contest. We'll follow up when the results of his imaging are available. |

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. |

"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. |

| 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. |

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. |
