Jaylen Warren confident he will be ready for Week 12
Suffered ankle injury in Week 11 win over Bengals
By: Doug Orth | Nov 17 2025, 4:30 pm
|
Jaylen Warren on his ankle injury:
“I could have (returned), but it was part of being smart. We got a lot of games ahead of us, so they’re looking out for me.” (PennLive - Nick Farabaugh)
FFToday's Take: Considering how Warren was walking on the sideline after suffering his injury in the second half of the team's Week 11 game, this sounds like an athlete trying to will himself to heal quickly. Kenneth Gainwell benefited greatly from Mason Rudolph throwing him the ball from that point on, as the former finished with seven catches for 81 yards and two touchdowns. While fantasy managers should hold out hope for Warren in Week 12, Gainwell appears to be the favorite to get the nod against the Bears.

Justin Fields benched for Tyrod Taylor
Taylor to start in Week 12 against Baltimore
By: Doug Orth | Nov 17 2025, 4:20 pm
|
The Jets are making a quarterback change, benching Justin Fields in favor of veteran Tyrod Taylor, per source.
New York faces Baltimore in Week 12 and ranks last in the league in passing yards per game. (The Athletic - Dianna Russini)
FFToday's Take: Given the state of affairs in New York, it is hard to say this move helps anyone in fantasy. In theory, Tyrod Taylor's presence should help the passing game be more productive, but Mason Taylor may be the only player capable of taking advantage in the immediate future. Tyler Johnson, John Metchie and Adonai Mitchell could also see slight bumps to their fantasy stock, but it would be hard to trust any of them in a typical 12-team league.

Josh Jacobs may miss some time
Suffered minor knee injury in Week 11
By: Doug Orth | Nov 17 2025, 4:00 pm
|
Packers standout RB Josh Jacobs’ knee is structurally sound and no surgery is needed.
He’s considered day-to-day, but could miss the game against the #Vikings. (NFL Network - Ian Rapoport)
FFToday's Take: While the overall prognosis appears good, Jacobs did not return to the team's Week 11 game after suffering the injury. The thing that makes this worse for his fantasy managers is that Green Bay also plays on Thanksgiving in Week 13, meaning he is a likely candidate to miss two games if he sits out Week 12. Emanuel Wilson performed about as expected in his absence (11 carries for 40 yards and a touchdown, one catch for nine yards) and would be a decent RB2 play in Week 12 against the Vikings if Jacobs cannot go. Chris Brooks would also be in play, albeit as a desperation flex option in deeper leagues.

Falcons suffer injuries to Penix and London in Week 11
Knee injury to Penix could be season-ending
By: Mike Krueger | Nov 17 2025, 11:18 am
|
Source: #Falcons WR Drake London suffered a PCL sprain and is out this week and potentially more.
With Michael Penix Jr out this week with an aggravation of his bone bruise and London out with a sprain, Atlanta is significantly short-handed. (Ian Rapoport on X)
FFToday's Take: It's worth noting that the knee injury to Penix could be season-ending according to Adam Schefter. In any case, it looks like
Kirk Cousins will be taking over at quarterback and London will be out at least for Week 12 against the Saints. The Falcons have been struggling to find a second productive wideout opposite London. Darnell Mooney is averaging 2 receptions per game.

Aaron Rodgers leaves early with wrist injury
More testing to occur Monday
By: Mike Krueger | Nov 16 2025, 5:15 pm
|
The initial concern is that Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers has "a slight break" in his left, non-throwing wrist, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter.
The quarterback will undergo further testing Monday to determine the full extent of the injury and how long he'll be sidelined, league sources told Schefter. (ESPN)
FFToday's Take: Rodgers left in the 2nd quarter of Week 11's game against the Bengals, allowing Mason Rudolph to finish the game. We should know more early in the week how long Rodgers will be out. The Steelers also lost Jaylen Warren to an ankle injury in the third quarter. Kenneth Gainwell finished this game with a 9-24-0, 7-81-2 line.

Calvin Ridley out for the season, broken fibula
Titans receiver just returned from hamstring injury
By: Mike Krueger | Nov 16 2025, 4:24 pm
|
#Titans WR Calvin Ridley, in his first game back from a hamstring injury, broke his fibula and is done for the season, interim coach Mike McCoy said. (Ian Rapoport on X)
FFToday's Take: It's been a nightmare season for Ridley who has played in just six games and will finish without scoring a touchdown. He's been out six Week 6 when he suffered a hamstring injury and will now missed the remainder of the season with a broken fibula. The Titans will press forward with Elic Ayomanor, Van Jefferson, and Chimere Dike as their top three receivers.

Keon Coleman inactive for Week 11
Missed a team meeting on Friday
By: Mike Krueger | Nov 16 2025, 11:20 am
|
Source: Bills WR Keon Coleman is inactive today because he missed a team meeting Friday morning. Until then, the Bills planned to play him, but their plans changed when he missed the meeting. (Adam Schefter on X)
FFToday's Take: The Bills called up Gabe Davis and Mecole Hardman from the practice squad this week and now we know why. With Elijah Moore expected to be out as well, the Bills will have Khalil Shakir, Davis and Josh Palmer as their likely top three receivers against the Buccaneers.

Brian Thomas Jr. not expected to play in Week 11
Ankle injury
By: Mike Krueger | Nov 15 2025, 11:13 pm
|
#Jaguars WR Brian Thomas Jr., who is listed as questionable because of an ankle injury, is not expected to play Sunday, source said. Not quite yet. (Ian Rapoport on X)
FFToday's Take: BTJ missed Week 10 and was limited in practice all week with an ankle injury. He'll sit out this week in hopes of returning in Week 12 to face the Cardinals. Parker Washington, Jakobi Meyers and Dyami Brown should be top three receivers for Jacksonville against the Chargers.

Sam LaPorta lands on injured reserve
Will miss the next four games
By: Mike Krueger | Nov 15 2025, 4:03 pm
|
The Lions placed TE Sam LaPorta on injured reserve. He's out at least four games. (Tom Pelissero on X)
FFToday's Take: LaPorta missed practice all week with a back injury and will now miss at least the next four games. The earliest he could return would be Week 15 against the Rams. The Lions backup tight end, Brock Wright, is questionable this week with an ankle injury.

Season over for J.K. Dobbins, foot surgery
Placed on IR
By: Mike Krueger | Nov 15 2025, 3:22 pm
|
Broncos RB J.K. Dobbins will be placed on injured reserve with a foot injury that requires surgery and likely end his season, per ESPN sources.
Dobbins sustained the injury on a hip-drop tackle during the Broncos’ Thursday night win against the Raiders. Set to become a free agent after the year, Dobbins was fifth in the league in rushing and is expected to make a full recovery. (Adam Schefter on X)
FFToday's Take: Dobbins was having a solid season as an RB2 even while splitting running back work three ways in the Denver offense. The Broncos running back room will now feature RJ Harvey, Jaleel McLaughlin, and Tyler Badie. Badie has been typically used in third down and two-minute situations. We'll see how much McLaughlin cuts into Harvey this week when the Broncos take on the Chiefs.

Lions rule Out TE Sam LaPorta for Week 11
Back injury
By: Mike Krueger | Nov 14 2025, 3:50 pm
|
No Sam LaPorta or Terrion Arnold for the Lions. Amik Robertson plans to take his availability to gameday, see if he can go (Dave Birkett on X)
FFToday's Take: LaPorta did not practice all week with a back issue and will not play in Week 11. Backup tight end Brock Wright was limited in practice this week with an ankle injury. He is listed as Questionable. This position for the Lions can be avoided by fantasy managers this week as Detroit travels to take on Philadelphia.

Brian Thomas Jr. limited in practice all week, Questionable
Ankle injury
By: Mike Krueger | Nov 14 2025, 3:38 pm
|
Jaguars rule out RT Anton Harrison (knee/ankle), CB Jourdan Lewis (neck), TE Brenton Strange (hip/quad) and TE Hunter Long (hip/knee) for Chargers. WR Brian Thomas Jr. (ankle) is questionable. Likely replacements are Cole Van Lanen at RT and Montaric Brown at CB (Michael DiRocco on X)
FFToday's Take: Thomas injured his ankle in Week 9 and missed last week's game against the Texans. He's now listed as questionable for Week 11 against the Chargers after getting in limited practice sessions all week. He should be considered a gametime decision until we get and update on his status.

Purdy, Pearsall expected to play in Week 11
Both haven't played since Week 4
By: Mike Krueger | Nov 13 2025, 6:03 pm
|
Quarterback Brock Purdy will return to the starting lineup Sunday vs. the Cardinals, Kyle Shanahan just said during the taping of the 49ers Game Plan. (Matt Maiocco on X)
FFToday's Take: Purdy has played in just two games this season and hasn't played since Week 4. He's been dealing with a toe injury suffered in Week 1. This will send Mac Jones back to the bench. We should also see WR Ricky Pearsall (knee) return to action who also hasn't played since Week 4. The 49ers travel to Arizona to take on the Cardinals this week who will be without Marvin Harrison Jr.

Garrett Wilson lands on IR, knee injury
Jets passing game at an all-time low
By: Mike Krueger | Nov 13 2025, 4:23 pm
|
WR Garrett Wilson (knee) has been placed on injured reserve, #Jets announce. He will miss at least 4 games. First IR stint in his career. This is an opportunity for the young WRs. Eager to see Adonai Mitchell, who was inactive last week. You’ll see a lot of Arian Smith and John Metchie over the second half. (Rich Cimini on X)
FFToday's Take: The earliest Wilson will be able to return is Week 15 against the Jaguars. In the meantime, the Jets will rely on a bunch of mediocre options at the position. Given how inept the passing game has been, none of Smith, Mitchell, Metchie or Tyler Johnson are worth starting in fantasy leagues.

Rhamondre, Boutte ruled Out for Thursday Night Football
Terrell Jennings listed as Questionable
By: Mike Krueger | Nov 12 2025, 4:10 pm
|
RB Rhamondre Stevenson (toe), WR Kayshon Boutte (hamstring), TE Austin Hooper (concussion) and LB Christian Elliss (hip) have been ruled out for Thursday’s game.
RB Terrell Jennings (knee) is questionable. (Mike Reiss on X)
FFToday's Take: It looks like we'll get a full dose of TreVeyon Henderson again at running back for the Patriots against the Jets on Thursday night. Jennings injured his knee in Week 10 and was limited in practice this week. D'Ernest Johnson is also on the roster and could in the mix.

Marvin Harrison Jr. Out for Week 11, appendicitis
Cardinals thin at receiver position.
By: Mike Krueger | Nov 12 2025, 11:45 am
|
Cardinals WR Marvin Harrison Jr. underwent surgery for appendicitis and is out for at least this week and possibly longer. (Adam Schefter on X)
FFToday's Take: Harrison has 22 targets and scored twice over the last two weeks but that positive trend will be put on hold. The Cardinals will also be without Zay Jones who tore his Achilles in Week 10. That should give Greg Dortch an expanded role but expect TE Trey McBride to lead the team in targets.

Giants expected to start Jameis Winston in Week 11
Dart in concussion protocol
By: Mike Krueger | Nov 12 2025, 8:55 am
|
The New York Giants are expected to start quarterback Jameis Winston against the Green Bay Packers on Sunday, sources told ESPN on Wednesday.
Starter Jaxson Dart is in the concussion protocol as the Giants return to practice Wednesday afternoon and seems unlikely to play, a source said. (ESPN)
FFToday's Take: Interim head coach Mike Kafka has made his first significant move, elevating Winston ahead of Russell Wilson on the quarterback depth chart. Winston should help the Giants passing game but the matchup this week against the Packers is a negative one. Green Bay has allowed the sixth fewest fantasy points to the quarterback position. As we know, Winston is notorious for turnovers which leaves him in the QB2 conversation this week.

Joe Burrow hopeful he can play on Thanksgiving
QB returned to limited practice on Monday
By: Doug Orth | Nov 11 2025, 11:30 pm
|
Joe Burrow didn't want to reveal too much about when he could be playing for the Cincinnati Bengals again this season, but he does have a potential target date in mind. Burrow said Monday that it will be very meaningful if he can return from a turf toe injury on his left foot for the Thanksgiving Day game against the Baltimore Ravens on Nov. 27. Two years ago, Burrow suffered a season-ending wrist injury during a November prime-time game at M&T Bank Stadium that was also on a Thursday night.
He officially returned to practice Monday in a limited capacity as the team opened his 21-day window to return from injured reserve. (ESPN.com - Ben Baby)
FFToday's Take: Burrow noted there are a lot of variables that need to be considered for him to return over the next 21 days, but it would appear the most important variable - his recovery from turf toe surgery - has gone well enough for him to consider a return to game action at some point in the next two weeks. It goes without saying that Burrow needs to be added in whatever leagues he was dropped, if only for a fantasy playoff schedule that features the Ravens (Week 15), Dolphins (Week 16) and Cardinals (Week 17).

J.K. Dobbins a candidate for IR?
Week 10 foot injury could sideline RB for a month
By: Doug Orth | Nov 11 2025, 4:30 pm
|
#Broncos I'm told are considering what to do with running back J.K. Dobbins and his foot injury. I was told placing him on injured reserve is being considered. (Denver Gazette - Chris Tomasson)
FFToday's Take: The injury occurred on a hip-drop tackle on Thursday night against the Raiders. Dobbins returned to the game and finished it out, but it appears the injury is much more serious than he could have imagined. Perhaps the only thing keeping Denver from putting him on IR is the team's Week 12 bye. With last week's early game giving him a few extra days and the upcoming bye, Dobbins could recover for roughly 3 1/2 weeks and only miss two games. In the interim, RJ Harvey should serve as a solid RB2 start in most leagues. He will likely lose about 6-8 touches per week to Jaleel McLaughlin, who now enters the low-end flex conversation.

Knee surgery for Travis Hunter, out for the season
LCL repair
By: Mike Krueger | Nov 11 2025, 3:02 pm
|
Sources: #Jaguars star CB/WR Travis Hunter underwent season-ending knee surgery, with eyes set on 2026. It was an LCL repair.
He’s expected to return within 6 months to full football activities. (Ian Rapoport on X)
FFToday's Take: There was some hope Hunter could return in a few weeks after suffering a knee injury in practice leading up to Week 9. Instead, that will be a wrap on Hunter's rookie season. The Jags will move forward with Brian Thomas Jr. (ankle), Parker Washington and Jakobi Meyers as their top three wideouts.

Oronde Gadsden dealing with quad bruise
Exited early in Week 10
By: Doug Orth | Nov 10 2025, 11:50 pm
|
Chargers TE Oronde Gadsden II’s MRI today revealed a quad bruise that now will have him, per a source, “day to day.” (ESPN - Adam Schefter)
FFToday's Take: Gadsden only played about half of the snaps on Sunday and still finished in a tie for second in targets. The diagnosis gives Gadsden a decent shot at playing in Week 11 against the Jaguars, but the Chargers could also err on the safe side and let the rookie use the Week 12 bye to heal up as much as possible. As his fantasy managers already know, Gadsden needs to be in lineups if he is active.

Garrett Wilson likely to miss at least a month
WR suffered knee sprain in Week 10
By: Doug Orth | Nov 10 2025, 11:30 pm
|
Bad news for the #Jets offense: WR Garrett Wilson is expected to miss at least 3-4 weeks with a knee sprain, source says. Good news is no surgery, just rehab. (ESPN.com - Rich Cimini)
FFToday's Take: Wilson just returned from a three-game absence from a hyperextended knee. Given the combination of the time he is expected to miss, the Jets' record (2-7) and upcoming opponents (specifically, the Patriots and Ravens over the next two weeks), New York could just decide to sit him for the rest of the season. The Jets don't have great alternatives, but Tyler Johnson or Adonai Mitchell will likely emerge as the top receiver on this team. Wilson's absence could also allow Mason Taylor to be the featured pass-catcher in this offense.

Ricky Pearsall could practice soon
Knee injury has sidelined WR since Week 4
By: Doug Orth | Nov 10 2025, 7:30 pm
|
The 49ers are hoping to get Ricky Pearsall (knee) back for practice this week. (The Athletic - Matt Barrows)
FFToday's Take: Pearsall has been snakebit since entering the league, to say the least. There was the gunshot wound last summmer, two hamstring injuries during the late spring and early summer and this knee strain that has shelved him for nearly two months. It is hard to know what exactly to expect from him when he returns, but he has performed like a solid WR2 option in the limited time he has been healthy as a pro. If the practice reports on him are good this week, he may be worth considering as a flex option.

Matthew Golden to sit Week 10
First-round pick nursing a shoulder injury
By: Doug Orth | Nov 10 2025, 7:10 pm
|
Packers WR Matthew Golden, who is questionable with a shoulder injury, is not expected to play tonight against the Eagles, per source. (NFL Network - Tom Pelissero)
FFToday's Take: Golden has since been put on the team's inactive list for this game, which means the Green Bay passing attack will rely heavily on Romeo Doubs and Christian Watson versus the Eagles. It has been a mostly disappointing season for the rookie, who appeared to be on the verge of seeing more playing time after producing 102 total yards versus the Bengals in Week 6. Unfortunately, he has mustered only 50 yards in three games since.

Brian Daboll out as head coach of the Giants
20-40-1 record in 3-plus seasons
By: Mike Krueger | Nov 10 2025, 12:44 pm
|
BREAKING: The Giants are firing head coach Brian Daboll after Sunday’s loss to the Bears, per sources.
Daboll, who won Coach of the Year in 2022, finishes his New York tenure with a 20-40-1 record in 3+ seasons. (Dianna Russini on X)
FFToday's Take: The Giants are currently 2-8 and have suffered some tough losses in recent weeks including a 33-32 loss to Denver in which the Giants were up 26-8 with six minutes left in the game. To make matters worse, Jaxson Dart is currently in the concussion protocol and may not play in Week 11 against the Packers. OC Mike Kafka will serve as interim head coach.

D’Andre Swift expected to play in Week 10
Groin injury, personal reasons
By: Mike Krueger | Nov 8 2025, 8:59 pm
|
Bears RB D’Andre Swift, listed as questionable for Sunday due a groin injury and personal reasons, is expected to play vs. the Giants, per source. (Adam Schefter on X)
FFToday's Take: Swift had an odd run on the practice report this week, getting in a limited session Wednesday, full Thursday, then a DNP on Friday. The Bears held him out last week against the Bengals as he's been bothered by a groin issue for some time now. He should split time with rookie Kyle Monangai which caps the ceiling of both running backs. The Giants are positive matchup, allowing the 2nd-most fantasy points to the position.

Tetairoa McMillan expected to play in Week 10
Hamstring injury
By: Mike Krueger | Nov 8 2025, 8:58 pm
|
Panthers WR Tetairoa McMillan, listed as questionable for Sunday due to a hamstring injury, is expected to play vs. the Saints, per source. (Adam Schefter on X)
FFToday's Take: McMillan popped up on the injury report Friday with a hamstring issue but should be good to go against the Saints. He's scored twice this season -- both times in Week 6 -- and has topped 100 yards just once (Week 2). The Saints represent a neutral matchup against wide receivers.
|

 |
Aaron Jones expected to play in Week 10
Shoulder injury
By: Mike Krueger | Nov 8 2025, 11:42 am
|
Vikings RB Aaron Jones (questionable, shoulder) is expected to play Sunday vs. Ravens, per sources. (Jeremy Fowler on X)
FFToday's Take: Jones was limited in practice both Thursday and Friday but appears on track to suit up against the Ravens in Week 10. If he misses, Jordan Mason and Zavier Scott would get a boost in usage. Jones (9-78-0, 2-20-0) was running well against Detroit last week before getting injured.

Brian Thomas Jr. Out for Week 10
High ankle sprain
By: Mike Krueger | Nov 7 2025, 3:11 pm
|
Jaguars wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr. will miss Sunday’s game vs. the Texans due to his high ankle sprain. (Adam Schefter on X)
FFToday's Take: A high ankle sprain typically keeps players out multiple weeks so we'll see how quickly BTJ can return. This should thrust newly acquired Jakobi Meyers onto the field, probably more than the coaching staff would like at this point in time. Parker Washington is the favorite to lead the Jags in receptions and yards and is better suited for PPR leagues.

Rhamondre, Boutte Out for Week 10
Patriots down two starters
By: Mike Krueger | Nov 7 2025, 2:12 pm
|
News story: With RB Rhamondre Stevenson out for a second straight week, rookie TreVeyon Henderson (51 of 68 snaps last week) is expected to lead the way again.
Also, WR Kayshon Boutte (hamstring) and LB Christian Elliss (hip) are out. (Mike Reiss on X)
FFToday's Take: Rhamondre is dealing with a toe injury that kept him out in Week 9 which will leave Henderson and Terrell Jennings to handle the running back work for the Patriots. Henderson out-snapped Jennings by a wide margin last week but touches were closer -- 18-12 in favor of Henderson. Boutte had been getting the most playing time of an Patriots receiver through 9 weeks. Expect rookie Kyle Williams to see some action but he's not likely to be fantasy relevant.

Swift, Monangai, Kmet full practice on Thursday
Bears getting healthy
By: Mike Krueger | Nov 6 2025, 3:15 pm
|
FULL participation today:
TE Cole Kmet (concussion),
WR Luther Burden (concussion),
RB D'Andre Swift (groin),
RB Kyle Monangai (ankle) (Brad Biggs on X)
FFToday's Take: Both Swift and Kmet missed Week 9 but both are on track to play in Week 10. Swift's return will put a wet blanket on Monangai's fantasy value until we get a better understanding of their usage after the rookie's big game against the Bengals. Colston Loveland's value also takes a hit with Kmet back in the lineup.

Kyler Murray lands on IR due to foot injury
Jacoby Brissett will start the next four games
By: Mike Krueger | Nov 5 2025, 3:27 pm
|
Cardinals are placing QB Kyler Murray on injured reserve due to his foot injury, meaning he now will miss a minimum of four games.
Cardinals say this will give Murray the chance to focus on rehabbing his foot injury and that he is committed to getting back as soon as possible. (Adam Schefter on X)
FFToday's Take: It's Jacoby Brissett time for at least the next four weeks (@SEA, SF, JAX, @ TB). The earliest Murray can return would be Week 14 against the Rams. The Cardinals face the Texans in Week 15, so if you need the roster spot, you can feel safe in cutting Murray in most 12-team redraft leagues.

Stroud out for Week 10, Davis Mills gets the start
Stroud in concussion protocol
By: Mike Krueger | Nov 5 2025, 3:26 pm
|
#Texans QB Davis Mills will start this week, as coach DeMeco Ryans announced C.J. Stroud will be out. He's in the concussion protocol. (Ian Rapoport on X)
FFToday's Take: It's typical for players to miss the following game after suffering a concussion, so Stroud will sit in Week 10 as the Texans take on the Jaguars. Mills has a favorable matchup against a Jaguars defense that's given up the 2nd-most fantasy points to the position but he's difficult to trust as anything more than a QB2.

Saints send Rashid Shaheed to the Seahawks
New Orleans gets 4th- and 5th-round picks in return
By: Mike Krueger | Nov 4 2025, 1:07 pm
|
Fourth- and fifth-round picks to the #Saints from the #Seahawks who add a big-time threat. (Mike Garafolo on X)
FFToday's Take: This is a good move for the Seattle offense which givens them a speed element to their wide receiver room and could be a sign that Cooper Kupp's hamstring injury may keep him out a few weeks. Rashid Shaheed gets a boost to a more stable offense with a better quarterback but will need to quickly get integrated into the system. He's familiar with OC Klint Kubiak from their days in New Orleans.

Sauce Gardner shipped to Indy
Colts send Adonai Mitchell, two firsts to the Jets
By: Doug Orth | Nov 4 2025, 1:00 pm
|
The Colts are sending their first-round picks in 2026 and 2027 plus a player (Adonai Mitchell) to the Jets for Ahmad Gardner. (NFL Network - Tom Pelissero)
FFToday's Take: It is hard to blame either side for this deal, even if it feels like the Colts overpaid a bit. Indianapolis was relying on Mekhi Blackmon and Jaylon Jones as its starting CB duo with Charvarius Ward sidelined. While he may not be playing at the same level he was in his first two years in the league, how much of that was due to the situation in New York. As for the Jets, their rebuild gets a nice boost with the draft capital and the addition of Mitchell, who has consistently been able to create separation during his time in the NFL. He could easily become the team's No. 2 receiver within a week or two.

Raiders send Jakobi Meyers to the Jaguars
Las Vegas gets a 4th and 6th round pick
By: Mike Krueger | Nov 4 2025, 11:29 am
|
ESPN sources: Raiders are trading WR Jakobi Meyers to the Jacksonville Jaguars in exchange for fourth- and sixth-round picks.
Multiple teams including the Steelers and Jaguars had shown interest in Meyers, who is scheduled to become a free agent after his contract expires this season. (Adam Schefter on X)
FFToday's Take: The Jags had 13 picks in the 2026 draft and have a need for a receiver given the injury to Travis Hunter and Brian Thomas Jr. suffering an ankle injury in Week 10. So, they swung a deal for Meyers who wanted out of Las Vegas. Given the state of the Jacksonville wide receiver room, it shouldn't take long for Meyers to see some action but it's difficult to get excited about his fantasy prospects. The Jaguars have upcoming games against @HOU, LAC and @ARI.

Omarion Hampton unlikely to be ready soon
Ankle injury expected to keep RB out until after Week 12 bye
By: Doug Orth | Nov 3 2025, 8:00 pm
|
Jim Harbaugh said he doesn’t think the Chargers will open the window for running back Omarion Hampton to return from IR until after the Week 12 bye. (ESPN.com - Kris Rhim)
FFToday's Take: Harbaugh suggested this was a possibility a couple of weeks ago, so this only would seem to confirm the initial plan. Fantasy managers who have been able to remain in their league's playoff chase without him - likely because of adding Kimani Vidal or Rico Dowdle off waivers - should still tentatively plan on getting the rookie back in Week 13 against the Raiders. Hampton was beginning to emerge as a strong RB1 before his Week 5 ankle injury, so he could be an actual league-winner if he is able to find the same form upon his return.

Jayden Daniels suffers dislocated elbow in SNF
Length of recovery still TBD
By: Mike Krueger | Nov 3 2025, 8:03 am
|
It’s good that the X rays were negative. The MRI this morning is the key and will tell the story for Jayden Daniels. Will reveal ligament damage and if he needs surgery etc. and that will determine the length of recovery. (John Keim on X)
FFToday's Take: It's been an injury-filled season for Daniels who has been bothered by knee and hamstring issue early in 2025 before dislocating his elbow in Week 9. He's sure to miss a good portion of, if not all of the rest of the season. Marcus Mariota will step into the starting quarterback role for Washington who have their bye in Week 12. The Commanders were without Terry McLaurin (quad) in Week 9 as well.

Torn ACL feared for Packers TE Tucker Kraft
Injured in Week 9 loss to Panthers
By: Mike Krueger | Nov 2 2025, 4:50 pm
|
The Packers fear tight end Tucker Kraft tore his right ACL during Sunday's 16-13 loss to the Carolina Panthers, a source told ESPN. "It doesn't look good," LaFleur said shortly after the game. "It's going to be tough. But it's football. The other guys are going to have to step up." Kraft, the Packers' top pass catcher, suffered the injury in the third quarter and was ruled out of the game in the fourth. He is set to undergo additional testing Monday, according to Packers coach Matt LaFleur. (ESPN)
FFToday's Take: Kraft is a key part of the Packers passing attack and will be sorely missed if he's out for the season. WR Matthew Golden also left in the third quarter with a shoulder injury. Luke Musgrave is the next man up at the tight end position in Green Bay and will be worth a look on the waiver wire for tight end needy teams.

Kyler Murray not ready to go

Kyler Murray is not yet healthy enough to start for the #AZCardinals, so Jacoby Brissett will be QB1 against the Cowboys on MNF. (Darren Urban on X)
FFToday's Take: Murray has been dealing with a foot issue and was limited in practice this week. Jonathan Gannon stated Murray could have a role in the game, which likely means that if Brissett got injured, Murray would come in as the QB2. Brissett gets a prime matchup against the woeful Dallas defense that's given up the most fantasy points to the quarterback position.
