An earlier report from the Athletic’s Jonathan Jones listed the Vikings and Giants as the favorites to trade for Taylor while the Seahawks, Packers and Broncos are still in the mix. Pelissero threw cold water on all of that by reporting no team has come close to offering what the Colts want for Taylor. Maybe that changes after Week 9, but if Taylor is stuck in Indianapolis, that’s probably the worst-case scenario for his rest-of-season fantasy value.07 November 2026
Despite ESPN’s Adam Schefter trying to will a Jones trade into existence by recreating Brian Windhorst memes, Pelissero reports the Colts have informed teams they aren’t trading the 29-year-old quarterback. Jones is set to start against the Cowboys in Week 9, but could find himself on the bench once the Colts are eliminated from playoff contention given the injury guarantees for next season in his contract.07 November 2026
Schefter reports that Hill rather than Derrick Henry was the running back the Giants called the Ravens about. While Henry is certainly the better back between the two, Schefter also reported that the Ravens won’t trade him. With Cam Skattebo (hamstring) doubtful and Tyrone Tracey on injured reserve, the Giants are looking for help in the backfield. Hill would help in that regard, but until a trade is consummated, he doesn’t have much standalone fantasy value behind Henry in Baltimore.07 November 2026
Schefter passes along that the Ravens called the Colts about Jones before they acquired Jacoby Brissett from the Cardinals. Otherwise, this report lacked specifics. According to league sources, multiple teams have called the Colts about trading for Jones, but he couldn’t name a team other than the Ravens. Schefter mentions the Vikings as a possibility, but while that suggestion makes sense given Minnesota’s need at quarterback and Jones’ history with the organization, it’s still purely ...

Citing league sources, Schefter says the Ravens recently informed Henry that they have no intention of trading him. While speculation about a trade is understandable given Baltimore’s injuries at the quarterback position, the Ravens are said to have never even considered it, according to Schefter. With the newly acquired Jacoby Brissett likely to be under center in Week 10 against the Chargers, Henry will be in the RB1 mix.07 November 2026
Fowler says that multiple sources around the league, including multiple sources inside the Colts’ organization, believe Jones “should be trying to get out of Indy, or maybe wants to.” The Colts are entering a rebuild, with trade rumors swirling around multiple star players. Fowler closed the segment by hinting at the Vikings as a possible landing spot. Jones’ fantasy-scoring outlook might tick up a little bit were he to head back to Minnesota.07 November 2026
Fowler said he spoke to multiple executives around the league this week, and the general sentiment is that the Chargers are not interested in making any moves. Fowler wonders aloud whether Khalil Mack, who has generated “a lot of interest,” could be had for a fourth- or fifth-round pick. Mack, 35, certainly makes sense for contending teams. The 0-7 Chargers do not qualify as such.07 November 2026
Elliott was released by the Titans a couple of weeks ago due to an “incident” at their facility. Schultz says that Titans coach Robert Saleh has been an “advocate” for Elliott despite the team releasing him. Should they bring him aboard, the Bears would further solidify their interior defensive line after recently acquiring Jeffery Simmons.07 November 2026
Aiyuk and Rosenhaus met with the 49ers’ “big bosses” today to discuss an amicable solution to their multi-year conflict. Aiyuk seeks reinstatement, but under league rules, he e 49ers roughly $13 million in bonus forfeiture. The two sides met today, but evidently, things were not resolved. The saga continues. Stay tuned.07 November 2026
The Buccaneers will have their starting left tackle on hand when they take on the Bears’ ascending defensive line in Week 9. Wirfs is one of the best offensive tackles in football. Having him on the field is always a plus for Baker Mayfield.07 November 2026
Gainwell has been a little more involved in recent weeks, and coach Todd Bowles recently told reporters that they are getting closer to the 1A/1B usage that they envisioned when they signed him. Gainwell will again play sidekick to Bucky Irving this week.07 November 2026
Kelce caught 5-of-7 targets for 67 yards, playing through the ankle injury last week against the Broncos, looking slightly hobbled. Kelce was limited to begin the week, but got in two full practices over the last two days. He remains firmly in the TE1 tier for Week 9 against the Jets.07 November 2026
Rice posted a 7/53/1 receiving line against the Broncos last week. He got in a limited session on Wednesday before upgrading to full on Thursday. He seems to be recovering effectively from his summer knee procedure and in-season hamstring injury. Rice is a borderline WR1/2 for this weekend’s game against the Jets.07 November 2026
Earlier today, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said he is “hopeful” that Pickens will be available for this weekend’s game against the Colts. Pickens ended up being limited in practice all week and appears to be truly questionable to play. If active, he is a WR2 against a beatable Colts defense.07 November 2026
If the Seahawks were to place Nelson on short-term injured reserve, he would be required to miss at least four games. The Seahawks face the Cardinals this week, the Raiders next and then go on bye. Nelson could have a chance to play in Week 12 against the 49ers. His availability that week will likely just come down to how the recovery is going. His loss is unfortunate.07 November 2026
Darrisaw is now firmly on track to play in Week 9’s Monday Night Football game against the Bills, who field a tough, talented defensive line. Having Darrisaw on the field will be helpful for pocket passer Carson Wentz.07 November 2026
Wilson caught 8-of-15 targets for 111 yards and a touchdown in the Cardinals’ Week 8 win over the Cowboys while playing through a pair of broken ribs. The Cardinals kept him limited all week. He should be good to go for WR2 duties against the Seahawks’ elite defense this week.06 November 2026
The Commanders’ wide receiver corps continues to lose players. Burks and Dyami Brown (calf) will both be sidelined this weekend, leaving Stefon Diggs, Antonio Williams and Chig Okonkwo to operate as the top pass catchers.06 November 2026
Kincaid remained limited in all three practices last week, so today’s return to full participation is great to see. The Vikings’ blitz-based defense often requires tight ends to stay in line to block, which could hurt Kincaid’s route volume. Regardless, he is too talented to be removed from the TE1 ranks.06 November 2026
The Bills are managing Moore’s AC joint sprain fairly well. He should be expected to play in Week 9’s Monday Night Football game against the Vikings. Although it is a tough matchup, Moore remains the WR2 tier in this week’s final game.
