Chiefs | Chiefs 'will explore what's available' at WR, Thomas Jr. and Downs mentioned Mon Nov 2, 06:15 AM
Chiefs GM Brett Veach told CBS sideline reporter Tracy Wolfson during Sunday's loss to the Broncos that, with WR Tyquan Thornton out for the season and WR Rashee Rice having a history of soft tissue injuries, the team "will explore what's available at the wide receiver position." Wolfson added that Jaguars WR Brian Thomas Jr. and Colts WR Josh Downs have been mentioned and that the Chiefs "will make calls and see where everything stands" over the next week. Pro Football Talk reported that the Chiefs, Steelers and Commanders have interest in Thomas, and that Downs is Kansas City's Plan B if it cannot pry Thomas away from Jacksonville.

Ravens | Baltimore has already reached out to Bears about Bagent Mon Nov 2, 02:55 AM
The Ravens have reached out to the Bears about QB Tyson Bagent, who is Baltimore's top trade pursuit according to multiple high-ranking NFL personnel executives, Sports Illustrated's Jason La Canfora reported on Sunday.
| Footballguys view: Baltimore is headed into the trade deadline without QB Lamar Jackson, who is going on injured reserve after thumb surgery, and with QB Tyler Huntley dealing with turf toe, leaving rookie undrafted free agent QB Joe Fagnano. La Canfora reported that the Bears rebuffed all overtures for Bagent over the summer and believe he can be a valuable backup in head coach Ben Johnson's system, with one NFL GM saying, "Chicago doesn't have to trade him. They like him." The trade deadline is November 10. |

Jaguars | Chiefs, Steelers, Commanders interested in Brian Thomas Jr., Jaguars not inclined to deal Mon Nov 2, 12:20 AM
The Chiefs, Steelers and Commanders have interest in Jaguars WR Brian Thomas Jr. The Jaguars have not shown much inclination to trade him, even if Thomas would prefer a fresh start. "Contenders usually aren't sellers at the trade deadline."
| Footballguys view: Currently, the Chiefs, Steelers, and Commanders have interest. According to PFT, the Steelers have greater interest in the Colts Josh Downs. Downs, however, is Kansas City's Plan B if they can't get Thomas away from the Jaguars. The Jaguars have no real incentive to move him unless they get a big offer. We'll see if it comes. The trade deadline is Nov. 10. |

Commanders | Jayden Daniels says he got 'the wind knocked out of him' Mon Nov 2, 12:03 AM
Commanders QB Jayden Daniels said he got the wind knocked out of him when he appeared hurt on the field and on the bench during Sunday's win over the Eagles.
| Footballguys view: Daniels threw for 217 yards and a touchdown. As ESPN.com's John Keim noted, Daniels wasn't all that sharp, but he made big plays and averaged 13.5 yards per completion against a defense that was healthier than it has been. In the end, it was sufficient for Daniels to get his first win since Oct. 5, 2025. He'll try to build on that going up against the Rams in Week 9. |

Chargers | Harbaugh sticking with McDaniel calling plays after 0-7 start: 'We're the only ones that can fix them' Sun Nov 1, 10:07 PM
Chargers head coach Jim Harbaugh still plans to let offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel call plays after Sunday's 24-9 loss to the Rams dropped the team to 0-7. Los Angeles failed to score a touchdown for the second straight game, with all nine points coming on Cameron Dicker field goals. Asked about McDaniel's future, Harbaugh said, "We're aware of what the issues are, and we're the only ones that can fix them," adding that the team's motivation is "a dedication to getting it changed, getting it fixed." QB Justin Herbert completed 24 of 32 passes for 257 yards with two interceptions and was sacked twice, while the Chargers ran for just 64 yards.

Ravens | Ravens down to one healthy QB in Joe Fagnano, may explore trade for Tyson Bagent Sun Nov 1, 09:47 PM
With QB Lamar Jackson and QB Tyler Huntley both injured on Sunday, the Ravens are down to one quarterback, Joe Fagnano. Baltimore may explore a possible trade for Bears QB Tyson Bagent.
| Footballguys view: Ravens offensive coordinator Declan Doyle held that same position last year in Chicago. And the Bears have three quarterbacks. Jackson is set for a stint on IR due to a thumb injury that will require surgery; Huntley is dealing with turf toe. The only other quarterback on the roster is Joe Fagnano, who played after Jackson and Huntley were hurt. We'll continue to monitor this situation while reminding you that the Ravens have a short turnaround to a Thursday night meeting with the Jaguars. |

Dolphins | Hafley needs to teach Ollie Gordon II 'how he has to react' after penalty Sun Nov 1, 08:03 PM
Dolphins head coach Jeff Hafley said on Sunday that he wants to keep his conversation with RB Ollie Gordon II private after Gordon's unsportsmanlike penalty against the Patriots but added: "Ollie's a young player who has a lot of fire and energy to him. I need to do a good job of teaching him how he has to react in situations."
| Footballguys view: Gordon, who carried the ball 19 times for 69 yards, drew the costly penalty for trash-talking Patriots linebacker Robert Spillane. QB Malik Willis said of his sideline interaction with Gordon after the penalty: "Ollie is a competitor and cares about the game a lot, but I had to tell him that he's dead a** wrong." Remember: Hafley pulled Gordon out of a preseason game against the Commanders after he drew an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty. We'll be watching for any fallout when the Dolphins begin preparing to play the Lions in Week 9. |

Broncos | Dobbins held to 13 yards on 7 carries in win over Chiefs Sun Nov 1, 07:40 PM
Denver Broncos RB J.K. Dobbins ran 7 times for 13 yards in Sunday's 28-24 win over the Kansas City Chiefs. He was projected for 8.0 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 1.3.
| Footballguys view: Dobbins, who had 14 snaps in this one, has fallen well behind rookie Jonah Coleman, who had 40 snaps. According to Pro Football Focus' Nathan Jahnke, Dobbins will likely still receive five to 10 carries per game, but that's not enough to put him in fantasy starting lineups. He is just a handcuff at this point. Once RJ Harvey returns from IR, Dobbins could be phased out of the offense completely. |

Chiefs | Mahomes throws for 321 yards, three touchdowns in loss to Broncos Sun Nov 1, 07:40 PM
Kansas City Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes II completed 30 of 41 passes for 321 yards with 3 touchdowns in Sunday's 28-24 loss to the Denver Broncos. He was projected for 16.6 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 25.4.
| Footballguys view: For three quarters, Mahomes was excellent, tying a career high with three touchdown passes under pressure and looking more confident as the game progressed. But as ESPN.com's Nate Taylor noted, the QB's decision not to throw the ball away on third-and-2 from the Broncos' 30-yard line, losing 6 yards on the sack, was uncharacteristic and a critical reason for the loss. The Chiefs face the Jets in Week 9. |

Chiefs | Johnson runs for 15 yards, 128 receiving, one receiving TD in loss to Broncos Sun Nov 1, 07:40 PM
Kansas City Chiefs RB Emmett Johnson ran 1 time for 15 yards and also caught 5 passes for 128 yards and a touchdown on 5 targets in Sunday's 28-24 loss to the Denver Broncos. He was projected for 4.2 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 22.8.
| Footballguys view: Johnson continued to demonstrate he's one of the best plug-and-play handcuffs in the league. As a standalone play, he may seem like a good waiver-wire target considering his fantasy production, but Pro Football Focus' Nathan Jahnke notes the rookie's role has been decreasing on early downs rather than increasing. |

Dolphins | Coleman catches 3 passes for 46 yards, a touchdown in loss to Patriots Sun Nov 1, 07:36 PM
Miami Dolphins WR Kevin Coleman Jr. caught 3 passes for 46 yards and a touchdown on 3 targets in Sunday's 24-19 loss to the New England Patriots. He was projected for 1.3 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 12.1.

New England Patriots QB Drake Maye completed 16 of 20 passes for 199 yards with 2 touchdowns and ran 8 times for 5 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 24-19 win over the Miami Dolphins. He was projected for 20.9 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 22.5.

Broncos | Jonah Coleman handles the bulk of the workload Sun Nov 1, 07:25 PM
Denver Broncos rookie running back Jonah Coleman turned in a breakout performance in Week 8, leading the team to a 28-24 come-from-behind victory over the Kansas City Chiefs.
| Footballguys view: Though his day got off to a sluggish start, Coleman exploded for a pair of big, late plays to seal the win and likely a leading role going forward. As ESPN.com's Tristan Cockcroft noted, Coleman finished with 20.4 fantasy points, pacing the Broncos backfield in snap rate (68%), carries (11), and touches (15) for the second consecutive week. Coleman's receiving usage was notable (16 routes, five targets). The Broncos will face Carolina in Week 9. |

Vikings | Justin Jefferson declines to speak after loss; O'Connell, Murray acknowledge frustration Sun Nov 1, 07:21 PM
Vikings WR Justin Jefferson declined to speak with reporters after Sunday's 19-15 loss to the Lions in Detroit. Head coach Kevin O'Connell and QB Kyler Murray both acknowledged the receiver's frustration. Jefferson said last week that his slow statistical season was "definitely an in-between feeling" during the Vikings' 6-0 start.
| Footballguys view: O'Connell pointed to three plays where he thought Murray could have given Jefferson better chances to make big plays. As ESPN.com's Kevin Seifert noted, Jefferson has been unable to maintain his career production levels since the start of the 2025 season, as the Vikings have used four different starting quarterbacks. He has already doubled his touchdown output this season (four) when compared with 2025, but otherwise is off to the worst start in his career. It's a situation worth watching. |

Cowboys | Jake Ferguson suffered 'low ankle sprain' against Cardinals Sun Nov 1, 06:58 PM
Cowboys TE Jake Ferguson suffered a low ankle sprain in Sunday's loss to the Cardinals, according to a source.
| Footballguys view: Ferguson only managed four offensive snaps before an ankle injury caused him to miss the rest of the game. The Cowboys started the game down one tight end, as TE Luke Schoonmaker was inactive with a groin injury. This led Dallas to elevate James Mitchell from the practice squad, and he served as the TE2 behind Brevyn Spann-Ford, who has recently cut into Ferguson's work on early downs. |

Jets | Jets have had no 'serious internal discussions' about trading Breece Hall Sun Nov 1, 06:43 PM
The Jets have not had any serious internal discussions about trading RB Breece Hall ahead of the Tuesday, Nov. 10 trade deadline, according to multiple sources. The team views Hall and RB Braelon Allen as capable of forming one of the NFL's best running back duos, though it does not plan to sign Hall to an extension. "He's an important part of what we're doing, what we're building," head coach Aaron Glenn said of Hall on Sunday. Teams that miss out on Colts RB Jonathan Taylor are expected to check in on Hall, and an aggressive offer could force an unforeseen discussion.
| Footballguys view: Glenn probably won't be this team's head coach next season, so the opinion of GM Darren Mougey is more important than Glenn's ideas about what the team is building. Mougey is the one building it, and there's no reason for him to build to Glenn's preferences with the team now at 2-6. |

Broncos | WR Courtland Sutton returns to the game Sun Nov 1, 05:51 PM
Broncos WR Courtland Sutton has returned to Sunday's game against the Chiefs after being injured in the second quarter.
| Footballguys view: Sutton took a big shot in the ribs on a catch up the left sideline from QB Bo Nix. Sutton needed attending to after the hit. Sutton finished the day with four catches for 53 yards. We'll monitor Sutton's status when the Broncos begin preparing to take on the Panthers in Week 9. |

Dolphins | WR Malik Washington returns to the game Sun Nov 1, 05:46 PM
Dolphins WR Malik Washington has returned to Sunday's game against the Patriots after being injured in the second quarter.
| Footballguys view: Washington briefly exited the game in the second quarter after taking a hard hit over the middle from Patriots linebacker Christian Elliss. He walked off under his own power and went into the blue medical tent for evaluation. Washington quickly returned to the field before halftime and caught a touchdown pass. |

Cardinals | LaFleur has made no decision on Week 9 starting QB after Minshew's comeback Sun Nov 1, 05:40 PM
Cardinals head coach Mike LaFleur said on Sunday he has made no decisions about the team's starting quarterback for Week 9 against the Seahawks.
| Footballguys view: Gardner Minshew II replaced Jacoby Brissett with 1:35 left in the third quarter and the Cardinals trailing 17-3, then led touchdown drives on his first four possessions in a 33-30 overtime win over the Cowboys, finishing 17-of-23 for 188 yards and three touchdowns. LaFleur said he made the change because the team needed "a spark," adding, "I thought his timing was great... He's about as resilient as they come." LaFleur also said, "I know what the story is going to be, and so does [Brissett], but it was the collective." Stay tuned. |

Vikings | Kyler Murray developed hamstring tightness late in loss to Lions Sun Nov 1, 05:37 PM
Vikings QB Kyler Murray developed hamstring tightness toward the end of Sunday's 19-15 loss to the Lions, head coach Kevin O'Connell said. It happened at some point in the fourth quarter, and Murray said it came late enough that he wasn't really hampered. "We'll look at it, obviously, and do what we need to do," Murray said.
| Footballguys view: As CBSSports.com's Zachary Pereles noted, Murray was dreadful again Sunday: 17-for-29 for 210 yards, two touchdowns and one interception, with three sacks taken. He also ran four times for 35 yards, which was a team high (more on that in a bit). One of his touchdown passes was a miraculous Justin Jefferson catch. With Jefferson growing increasingly frustrated, we'll be watching developments here closely. Backup Carson Wentz has been effective when called upon. The Vikings play the Bills in Week 9. |

Hunter Henry (foot) does not return, Raridon takes over as top TE Sun Nov 1, 05:28 PM
Patriots TE Hunter Henry left Sunday's Week 8 game at the Dolphins early with a foot injury and though he was designated as questionable to return, he did not.
| Footballguys view: Henry was the team's top receiver with three catches for 30 yards before leaving. Rookie TE Eli Raridon took over as the top tight end, with Cameron Latu and rookie Tanner Arkin also active at the position. The Patriots were already without WR A.J. Brown and RB TreVeyon Henderson and have just four active wide receivers. We'll be following up on Henry's status in the coming days. The Patriots play the Packers in Week 9. |

Cardinals | Michael Wilson says he has two broken ribs Sun Nov 1, 05:19 PM
Cardinals WR Michael Wilson said on Sunday that he has two broken ribs.
| Footballguys view: As SI.com's Donnie Druin noted, Wilson gutted it out for the Cardinals in a big way, finishing the day with eight receptions for 111 yards and a game-tying touchdown with six seconds remaining. He also added a 17-yard rush in overtime to help put Arizona in position to kick a game-winning field goal. With Kendrick Bourne (ankle) and Reggie Virgil (undisclosed) both leaving early, Arizona's receiving corps is in serious question heading into a matchup against a Seahawks defense that ranks No. 1 versus wide receivers in Week 9. |

Broncos | J.K. Dobbins 7 snaps, Jonah Coleman 6 through first quarter vs. Chiefs Sun Nov 1, 05:03 PM
Broncos RB J.K. Dobbins played seven snaps and rookie RB Jonah Coleman played six through the first quarter of Sunday's game against the Chiefs. RB Adam Prentice was in as the sole back on three third downs and on one more snap, when he had a 10-yard catch. Denver ended the first quarter at the Kansas City 33-yard line after a 23-yard pass from Bo Nix to Courtland Sutton.

Bills | DJ Moore says he's 'OK' after knee scare late vs. Ravens Sun Nov 1, 05:00 PM
Bills WR DJ Moore said he is OK after a knee scare at the end of Sunday's win over the Ravens. QB Josh Allen checked on Moore in the medical tent. Moore joked, "I just got back, can't miss time again!"
| Footballguys view: Moore had a strong game until that point, making four receptions for 82 yards and a touchdown. Moore was playing his first game back after an extended absence with a shoulder injury. While the extent of his injury was not immediately clear, replay showed that Moore appeared to hyperextend his leg while taking a hit. We'll follow up as needed. |

Ravens | Joe Fagnano 'I think so' on being healthy enough to play Thursday Sun Nov 1, 04:47 PM
Ravens rookie QB Joe Fagnano, asked on Sunday whether he is healthy enough to play Thursday against the Jaguars, said: "I think so."
| Footballguys view: Fagnano took some hard hits in Sunday's loss to the Bills after replacing the Ravens' top two quarterbacks, Lamar Jackson and Tyler Huntley. For now, he's the most likely starter for Thursday's game against the Jaguars. |

Bengals | Gesicki catches 4 passes for 76 yards, a touchdown in win over Titans Sun Nov 1, 04:47 PM
Cincinnati Bengals TE Mike Gesicki caught 4 passes for 76 yards and a touchdown on 6 targets in Sunday's 43-36 win over the Tennessee Titans. He was projected for 6.5 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 15.6.
| Footballguys view: Gesicki has scored a touchdown in six of seven games now, and he should be the clear No. 1 receiving tight end with Tanner Hudson and Erick All Jr. both on injured reserve. He's worth an add for Week 9 if you need a streaming tight end or want to bolster your depth at the position. |

Titans | Ward throws for 304 yards, two touchdowns in loss to Bengals Sun Nov 1, 04:47 PM
Tennessee Titans QB Cam Ward completed 26 of 40 passes for 304 yards with 2 touchdowns, ran 7 times for 41 yards and lost 1 fumble in Sunday's 43-36 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals. He was projected for 11.6 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 22.3.
| Footballguys view: Ward finally had a good game to give a glimpse of hope that he can still develop into the franchise quarterback the Titans expected when they took him No. 1 overall last year. The Bengals lost No. 1 corner DJ Turner II during the game, but they were already showing leaks in their pass defense earlier in the season. Ward goes into his bye with a chance to convince the Titans to pass on a quarterback when their early first-round pick is on the clock in 2027. |

Titans | Pollard runs for 117 yards, two TDs in loss to Bengals Sun Nov 1, 04:47 PM
Tennessee Titans RB Tony Pollard ran 21 times for 117 yards and two touchdowns and also caught 3 passes for 20 yards on 5 targets in Sunday's 43-36 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals. He was projected for 12.8 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 27.2.
| Footballguys view: Pollard was one of the best players on the field for the second straight week, whether we are talking about football or fantasy football. He is a free agent next year, so the Titans should be open to dealing him, but after these last two games, they want to keep him to help Cam Ward's development. It has complicated things for teams that might want in on Jonathan Taylor or Breece Hall, because Pollard looks like he will provide a lot of value for a fraction of the cost of either of those backs. |

Bengals | Higgins catches 10 passes for 155 yards, two touchdowns in win over Titans Sun Nov 1, 04:47 PM
Cincinnati Bengals WR Tee Higgins caught 10 passes for 155 yards and two touchdowns on 11 targets in Sunday's 43-36 win over the Tennessee Titans. He was projected for 14.6 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 32.5.
| Footballguys view: Higgins wasn't just dominant at the catch point, he ran with the conviction of a power running back after the catch. He is surging for fantasy with Joe Burrow slinging it to make up for a poor defense and the lack of a running game. |
Tee Higgins player page
Bengals | Burrow throws for 462 yards, five touchdowns in win over Titans Sun Nov 1, 04:47 PM
Cincinnati Bengals QB Joe Burrow completed 38 of 48 passes for 462 yards with 5 touchdowns and 3 interceptions and ran 3 times for 10 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 43-36 win over the Tennessee Titans. He was projected for 22.4 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 42.5.
| Footballguys view: Burrow's huge numbers were in part due to his three interceptions (all to Amani Hooker) and some poor defense by the Bengals to make this a 43-36 overtime shootout. This team wanted to have a more sound running game and defense to take some of the load off of Burrow's shoulders, but to no avail and to the delight of fantasy teams that drafted him. He'll travel to Madrid to face a waterlogged Falcons defense next week. |

Cardinals | Allgeier runs for 147 yards, one TD, one receiving TD in win over Cowboys Sun Nov 1, 04:40 PM
Arizona Cardinals RB Tyler Allgeier ran 11 times for 147 yards and a touchdown and also caught 5 passes for 44 yards and a touchdown on 5 targets in Sunday's 33-30 win over the Dallas Cowboys. He was projected for 5.3 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 33.6.
| Footballguys view: Allgeier was quiet in the first half, but after Jeremiyah Love (ankle) and Bam Knight (concussion) both left with injuries, he was the team's offense for a couple of drives that turned the game around and may have sunk the Cowboys' season. Allgeier faces a stout Seahawks run defense next week, but should still be a flex play at worst assuming Knight and Love can't go. |

Cardinals | Minshew throws for 188 yards, three touchdowns in win over Cowboys Sun Nov 1, 04:40 PM
Arizona Cardinals QB Gardner Minshew II completed 17 of 23 passes for 188 yards with 3 touchdowns in Sunday's 33-30 win over the Dallas Cowboys. He was projected for 0.1 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 19.5.
| Footballguys view: Minshew should be added in 2QB/Superflex leagues, but he is only a desperation play in Seattle in Week 9, and third-round pick Carson Beck should start as soon as the team deems him ready, so Minshew's rest of season value is uncertain, especially since he won't face Dallas again. |

Cardinals | Wilson catches 8 passes for 111 yards, a touchdown in win over Cowboys Sun Nov 1, 04:40 PM
Arizona Cardinals WR Michael Wilson ran 1 time for 17 yards and also caught 8 passes for 111 yards and a touchdown on 15 targets in Sunday's 33-30 win over the Dallas Cowboys. He was projected for 10.5 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 22.8.
| Footballguys view: Wilson played through a painful rib injury that didn't stop him from laying out for a touchdown in the waning seconds that would have won the game if Chad Ryland hadn't missed the extra point. Wilson contributed to the game-winning field goal drive and should be in lineups even though the Cardinals are traveling to Seattle in Week 9 as long as he is able to play through this injury. |

Cardinals | Brissett held to 119 passing yards in win over Cowboys Sun Nov 1, 04:40 PM
Arizona Cardinals QB Jacoby Brissett completed 10 of 23 passes for 119 yards and 1 interception in Sunday's 33-30 win over the Dallas Cowboys. He was projected for 18.2 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 4.5.
| Footballguys view: Gardner Minshew II led the Cardinals back from a 14-point fourth-quarter deficit, so he should be the Week 9 starter at Seattle -- which means we could see Brissett next week before the game is over. Either way, third-round pick Carson Beck should start as soon as the team thinks he is physically and mentally ready. |

Ravens | Backup QB Tyler Huntley leaves stadium in walking boot Sun Nov 1, 04:37 PM
Ravens QB Tyler Huntley left the stadium in a boot on his foot after Sunday's loss to the Bills. Huntley rode out on the same cart as QB Lamar Jackson, who left with a cast on his hand/thumb and may miss "potentially" the rest of the season.
| Footballguys view: A source told ESPN's Adam Schefter that Huntley suffered what is thought to be a turf toe injury. He is expected to undergo an MRI on Monday to determine how much time, if any, he could miss. The Ravens will discuss adding a quarterback on Monday, but Joe Fagnano is the likely starter for Thursday night's game against the Jacksonville Jaguars. |

Ravens | Minter says Lamar Jackson's thumb injury 'potentially season-ending' Sun Nov 1, 04:37 PM
Ravens QB Lamar Jackson's thumb injury is potentially season-ending, head coach Jesse Minter said on Sunday after the loss to the Bills. Baltimore plays the Jaguars on Thursday night in Week 9.
| Footballguys view: After missing the last three games with a high left ankle sprain, Jackson hurt his thumb on his first snap Sunday. Even if the injury isn't season-ending, there will be a prolonged absence. Adding to the intrigue, backup Tyler Huntley suffered a toe injury. With a short turnaround to a Thursday night game against the Jaguars, Joe Fagnano is the likely starter for Baltimore. |
Ravens | Lamar Jackson to undergo right thumb surgery, go on injured reserve Sun Nov 1, 04:34 PM
Ravens QB Lamar Jackson will undergo surgery on his right thumb and will be placed on injured reserve, head coach Jesse Minter said on Sunday. Minter did not say whether the injury will end Jackson's season. Jackson was ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's loss to the Bills with the thumb injury.

Ravens head coach Jesse Minter said on Sunday that QB Lamar Jackson's thumb injury is potentially season-ending. Jackson returned to the sideline with a cast on his right thumb and hand during Sunday's loss to the Bills.
| Footballguys view: Jackson has one year left on his contract, and his cap charge for 2027 is over $84 million. Something has got to give as Jackson represents himself, but the Ravens will play hardball after he was only able to give them one healthy month in each of the last two seasons. |

Ravens | Flowers held to 0 catches for 0 yards in loss to Bills Sun Nov 1, 04:26 PM
Baltimore Ravens WR Zay Flowers caught 0 passes for 0 yards on 5 targets in Sunday's 36-10 loss to the Buffalo Bills. He was projected for 16.7 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 0.0.
| Footballguys view: Flowers was a forgotten man after the Ravens lost two quarterbacks. He's just a boom/bust WR3/Flex against the Jaguars on Thursday in what could be a lost season for him for fantasy after he has looked like one of the five best receivers in the game for the fleeting glimpse that we've seen him in the Declan Doyle offense with Lamar Jackson at quarterback. |

Kubiak on Jeanty's two carries: 'That's my call,' still 'a big part of our team' Sun Nov 1, 04:23 PM
Raiders head coach Klint Kubiak said Sunday that RB Ashton Jeanty getting only two carries in the 38-33 win over the Jets was "my call, and Ashton still going to be a big part of our team." Kubiak added that Jeanty's comments about the Jets did not factor into his decision.
| Footballguys view: Jeanty is going to be a flex play for Week 9 against the 49ers along with Mike Washington Jr., who got 25 carries for 83 yards in the game. This is at least in part because Jeanty started out the season at less than 100% and may not be able to get back to top form as he plays through pain this season. If you believe in Jeanty, make an offer for him and if you think that this is the new blueprint for the Raiders backfield, it's time to sell before his value drops more, especially in dynasty leagues. |

Colts | Taylor held to 23 yards on 8 carries in loss to Jaguars Sun Nov 1, 04:10 PM
Indianapolis Colts RB Jonathan Taylor ran 8 times for 23 yards, also caught 4 passes for 24 yards on 5 targets and lost 1 fumble in Sunday's 42-7 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. He was projected for 14.6 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 4.7.
| Footballguys view: The Colts are waving the white flag on the season, and Taylor's numbers will reflect that -- as long as he is with the team. The Giants, Vikings, Bengals, Broncos, and Packers have all been mentioned as possible destinations in a trade, but it's not clear if any of those teams will be willing to meet the Colts' demands in a trade, as they reportedly view Taylor as a franchise cornerstone and tone-setter. If you have Taylor on your fantasy team, root for a trade. It's probably too late to sell high. Seth McGowan is the next man up if Taylor is traded before the Week 9 game against the Cowboys. |

Jaguars | Lawrence throws for 210 yards, three touchdowns in win over Colts Sun Nov 1, 04:10 PM
Jacksonville Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence completed 10 of 14 passes for 210 yards with 3 touchdowns and lost 1 fumble in Sunday's 42-7 win over the Indianapolis Colts. He was projected for 20.5 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 19.4.
| Footballguys view: Lawrence was outstanding just as he was in home blowouts of the Browns and Patriots, and he barely had to throw in the second half in a blowout win. This is lowering the upside for him and the whole passing game in lopsided matchups. Thursday's game at Baltimore could be another, with the Ravens likely forced to start a rookie UDFA quarterback. |
