Parkinson is unlikely to be startable as a TE1 if he plays on Monday night, but his return will likely reduce Tyler Higbee’s snap share. Higbee has been TE1-viable in each of the last two weeks.09 October 2026
The Bills’ No. 1 wide receiver is on the wrong side of questionable for his team’s Monday Night Football game against the Rams. Moore sprained the AC joint in his left shoulder in Week 2. He aggravated it in Week 4 with a hard fall and was unable to continue playing. If active, Moore will be a risk-reward WR2.09 October 2026
Palmer seemingly injured his shoulder in practice today. The Bills may already be without WR DJ Moore (shoulder) on Monday night. While Palmer is not relevant in 12-team leagues, his potential absence would improve Keon Coleman’s stock.09 October 2026
The Giants’ passing offense is tethered to Jameis Winston’s scattershot arm, but Likely has a favorable matchup against the Commanders’ defense this week. He can be started as a low-end TE1 in this divisional showdown.

Black was limited on Wednesday, but upgraded to full participation on Thursday and Friday. There are no concerns about his ability to handle backup duties against the Seahawks this week. That said, he has just 10 carries over the last two weeks and cannot be started in 12-team FLEX spots.09 October 2026
Williams is officially listed as questionable, though he is expected to take the field for the first time since tearing his ACL in Week 9, during this 2025 rookie season. His return could not have come soon enough. The 49ers’ defensive line has been hit hard by injuries this year. The 49ers correspondingly released DL Ogbo Okoronkwo to make room on the active roster.09 October 2026

Every year it somehow comes to this. Humphrey will replace Pat Bryant (IR/ankle) on the 53-man roster. We expect Troy Franklin and Marvin Mims will have more opportunities than Humphrey to actually catch the ball.09 October 2026
Williams will take the field for the first time since tearing his ACL in Week 9, during this 2025 rookie season. His return could not have come soon enough. The 49ers’ defensive line has been hit hard by injuries this year. The 49ers correspondingly released DL Ogbo Okoronkwo to make room on the active roster.09 October 2026
The 49ers will be without Bosa, FB Kyle Juszczyk (knee), DL James Thompson Jr. (ankle) and S Marques Sigle (ankle) for this divisional showdown, making life a little easier on their opponent.09 October 2026
The rarely-seen doubtful tag. Only the Chargers could discover a way for their backup quarterback to get it. DJ Uiagalelei could backup Justin Herbert this week.09 October 2026
We’re assuming the Chargers are going to sign some offensive linemen to the 53-man roster, but as things currently stand it looks like four rookies will start next to Cole Strange. And we don’t even know which four, if you really want to see how deep this despair goes.09 October 2026
Cardinals coach Mike LaFleur said ""It’s a maintenance thing with ankles, you guys see the way he cuts...I don’t know what he’s totally feeling, only he knows...but he’s doing good.” Great, not cryptic at all, Mike. Love is a reasonable low-end RB2 if his ankles decide he wants to play his full allotment of the 50/50 split against the Lions in Week 5.09 October 2026
Holani was nursing a ribs injury on Wednesday and Thursday, but he is now listed with a knee injury as well. This is concerning. He clearly picked up a new injury during the practice week. Velus Jones is the current RB3. Jones is not viable as a FLEX starter if Holani sits, but Emanuel Wilson should take on an RB2-worthy workload regardless.09 October 2026
Nolen was limited in back-to-back practices after popping up with the calf listing on Thursday. He’s played 319 snaps in 21 career opportunities so far.09 October 2026
The Seahawks will have their stud interior defender on hand against the division-rival 49ers. They will be without backup CB Julian Neal (hamstring), who suffered an injury in practice.09 October 2026
He’ll be a FLEX dart throw against the Bengals. Bell continues to get listed with his knee injury as the Dolphins bring him along slowly, but he seems wheels up for Sundays as things currently stand.09 October 2026
McConkey did not practice all week — though they might tack something on in the non-media period on Friday to make it look better — and is clearly just trying to gut it out at this point. He’ll likely be on a snap count if he does play. But Denver’s cornerback room is severely banged up, so McConkey likely remains in low-end WR2 range this week.09 October 2026
Croskey-Merritt logged two limited sessions to begin the week before upgrading to full on Friday. He should be good to go for this normal weekly role. Unfortunately, his workloads have varied, so he is more of an upside FLEX starter than he is an RB2. That said, Jayden Daniels (elbow) is returning this week, which should give the offense an efficiency boost.09 October 2026
Johnston got in limited sessions on Thursday and Friday, so it was surprising to see him sent straight to “not playing.” Tre’ Harris figures to step in as Los Angeles’ top outside receiver by snaps this week and is a worthwhile FLEX play, even against a formidable Broncos defense.
