The Colts are already the league’s biggest sellers ahead of the trade deadline and they’re not done yet. While they get plenty of interest in Downs, a third-round pick might be too much to ask after his slow start to the year. Downs has 26 catches for 307 yards as we approach the midway point of the season. Downs is also set to become a free agent in the spring, meaning that he might play only a handful of games for his new team. On the other hand, his disappointing season can largely be wr ...01 November 2026
The good news, per Wolfe, is that Jackson will still be able to move despite playing on a bum ankle. Jackson told reporters the pain is “bearable” earlier in the week, which didn’t exactly inspire confidence from Ravens fans and fantasy managers. On the other hand, if Jackson is out there, we expect him to be mobile enough to lead a top-flight offense. A date with the Bills, which features the highest game total of the week, should also create an incredible environment for fantasy product ...01 November 2026
Moore missed the Bills’ previous two games but had the bye week to get healthy. He was limited in practice throughout the week before being listed as questionable. He’s likely still not at full strength, but fantasy managers can’t be too concerned given the game environment. The Bills’ matchup with Baltimore has all of the makings of a shootout. Moore was also operating as Josh Allen’s clear No. 1 receiver before aggravating his shoulder injury. Moore is a strong WR2 option for Week 8 ...01 November 2026
The Vikings dots have been getting connected for a while now, so it’s not surprising to see something of a confirmation they are interested. The Giants and Bengals also make all the sense in the world. Green Bay would be a fit, as well, though it would be a bit surprising to see the Broncos add to their running back surplus. Taylor, of course, would blow their other backs out of the water. There’s enough smoke here to believe a fire might break out, but the Colts can probably be taken at th ...

A public records request revealed three additional accusations of domestic violence against Jacobs over the weekend. That is on top of the initial incident in which Jacobs ultimately pleaded no contest to misdemeanor battery and criminal damage to property. The NFL put out a statement saying they will continue to look into Jacobs’ situation. Even though Jacobs was removed from the Commissioner’s Exempt List two weeks ago, the league’s investigation was still ongoing. Rapoport notes that t ...01 November 2026
Parsons is still working his way back from the torn ACL he suffered late in the 2025 season. Per Rapoport, Parsons is expected to return to practice this week, meaning he will be designated to return from injured reserve in the coming days. He will then ramp up for a few weeks before hopefully returning in Week 12 against the Rams. Green Bay’s Week 11 bye will give him some extra time to get fully up to speed.01 November 2026
Week 7 was Gainwell’s first game with more than seven touches all year. He handled 14 opportunities, all of which were carries, and they came in a 30-point blowout win over the Panthers. Unless the Bucs stay hot and roll over the Falcons, expect Gainwell’s touch total to return to the single digits. He is barely in the RB4 mix for Week 8.01 November 2026
Meyers was limited in the Jags’ first two practices of the week before being downgraded to a DNP on Friday. The team listed him as questionable, though the DNP was likely maintenance in hindsight. Meyers has topped three catches or 50 yards in just two games this year. He did, however, see 10 targets in the Jags’ Week 6 loss to the Texans before their bye. Meyers is in the WR4 mix for Week 8.01 November 2026
Burks was limited in Friday’s practice before being listed as questionable. With Terry McLaurin done for the year, Burks is one of several role players for the Commanders who will be asked to step up in the back half of 2026. Burks has nine catches for 152 yards and two scores in five appearances this year.01 November 2026
NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported an hour ago that Braelon Allen will get the start, but he didn’t explicitly rule out Hall for Week 8. Fowler’s report makes things relatively black and white. Hall will miss today’s game versus the Raiders. He got in three practices this week before being listed as questionable on Friday. Though a Week 9 return is on the table, the Jets’ failure to put Hall on IR, only for him to miss at least five games, suggests his injury is worse than they initi ...01 November 2026
Rapoport mentioned that Breece Hall is still dealing with his quad injury, though he didn’t explicitly say that Hall will not play this week. For now, fantasy managers should assume he is out, marking his fifth absence because of the injury. Allen is averaging 20.8 touches and 105 yards from scrimmage without Hall this year. He is back on the RB1/2 border for Week 8.01 November 2026
The Panthers netted second-, third-, fourth-, and fifth-round picks for McCaffrey when they sent him to San Francisco in 2022. Indy reportedly turned down an offer of a second-round selection plus another pick for Taylor, meaning they have their eyes set on the full compensation that Carolina landed. The fact that the Colts abruptly changed their stance on trading Taylor at all this weekend suggests it’s only a matter of time before a deal gets done. They have until November 10th, the Tuesday ...01 November 2026
Pickens has been playing through the shoulder issue for a few weeks, but the hamstring was a new addition to his injury report. We suspect the hamstring injury is what earned him the questionable tag on Friday, though it’s a moot point now. Staring down a likely shootout with a weak Arizona defense, Pickens, even at less than full strength, is a locked-in WR2 for Week 8.01 November 2026
Though teams can change their minds in very short periods of time, Rapoport’s wording on this matter is rather definitive. Sitting at 2-5 with Jalen Hurts out for the year, it makes sense for the Eagles to be sellers at the trade deadline. Players including Dallas Goedert, Riq Woolen, and Hollywood Brown have also been the subject of trade rumors. All three are more likely than Barkley to land with new teams over the next week. Barring a change of heart from GM Howie Roseman, Barkley will con ...01 November 2026
Schefter threw out several names, many of whom have already been bandied about as trade candidates. Among the lesser-discussed options, he included Jerry Jeudy and Jauan Jennings in addition to Ridley. All three are veteran wideouts who have simply disappeared in the current iterations of their respective offenses. Even with new landing spots in the cards for the trio, none of them are worth holding onto in standard fantasy leagues. Ridley has five catches for 81 yards this year.01 November 2026
Schefter added that the team does not feel their current four-game losing streak is the fault of Cousins. He threw for nine touchdowns in the first three games, all of which the Raiders won. Cousins has just seven touchdowns over his past four outings, though he has only thrown two interceptions and taken just five sacks during that stretch. The Raiders are probably right to lay the blame elsewhere. Still, No. 1 overall pick Fernando Mendoza is waiting in the wings. He is the future of the fran ...01 November 2026
Waddle suffered the chest injury late in the Broncos’ Week 7 win over the Cardinals and a doomed trick play. He was leveled by Josh Sweat several yards behind the line of scrimmage. The Broncos held him out of Wednesday’s practice before giving him two limited sessions and a questionable tag. Though we suspect he is on some form of a snap count, it looks like Waddle is giving it a go. Already struggling to put up WR3 fantasy numbers, we’re regarding him as a high-risk FLEX play versus Kan ...01 November 2026
Crosby was the subject of rampant trade rumors as the deadline approached last year. Nothing materialized then, but the team ultimately found a partner in the Ravens during the offseason. The deal was signed and Crosby had his flight to Baltimore booked, but the Ravens backed out at the last minute after Crosby failed his physical. Crosby’s baulky knee was a long-term concern for the Ravens, though it hasn’t even been mentioned this year. Schefter added that Crosby no longer wants to be tra ...31 October 2026
The team has yet to activate him from injured reserve, a procedural move that is expected to come before they take the field in Week 8 against the Bears on Monday Night Football. Zach Charbonnet is also expected to be activated from injured reserve, giving the team their top two backs for the first time this season. No word yet on an expected snap count for either, although Price would seem to be in line to serve as the top option in the backfield considering it will be Charbonnet’s season de ...31 October 2026
The team has yet to activate Charbonnet from injured reserve but removed him from the injury report Saturday, leaving only the procedural step in the way of his season debut. He likely returns to a limited role as the team manages his reps in his first game since tearing his ACL in 2025. Rookie Jadarian price is also expected to play after being removed from the injury report. He, too, will need to be activated from injured reserve.
