Tracy exited Monday night’s loss to the Steelers after sustaining a brain injury in the fourth quarter. He had shredded the usually-tough Pittsburgh defense for 145 rushing yards and a touchdown in what amounted to a backfield takeover for the explosive rookie. Tracy entering the concussion protocol on Monday night likely means he’ll miss New York’s Week 9 game against the Commanders. Devin Singletary would operate as the team’s lead back if Tracy sits.29 October 2024
Jones during his Tuesday radio interview said Prescott, who has ten rushes for 24 yards and a touchdown this season, is still capable to gaining yards with his legs. But the team would rather Prescott remain a pocket passer and avoid injury as a runner in the open field. Prescott once regularly rushed for around 300 yards and multiple touchdowns per season. At 31, he is strictly a pocket passer, limiting his fantasy football upside.29 October 2024
“I mean, I think that’s best-case scenario, right? Like absolute best case. For all involved. Everything lines up. That’s what you kind of aim for,” Godwin said Monday night. He was carted off the field in Week 7 after suffering a dislocated ankle in the fourth quarter of a loss to the Ravens. He had 50 receptions through seven games and was trending toward one of the best seasons of his NFL career. It sounds like the Bucs would have to make a postseason run to get Godwin back in action ...29 October 2024
Zuerlien has been a disaster this season, missing six of his 15 field goal tries. He missed a critical field goal and an extra point in the Jets’ Week 8 loss to the Patriots. The usually-reliable veteran might get one more shot but could be forced out if the team settles on a more trusted option as they play out the stretch.

The yardage total marked the third straight game in which Harris went over 100 yards on the ground after failing to do so in the team’s first five contests. He out-touched Jaylen Warren 22 to 11 as he maintained a heavy touch-to-snap ratio, something that is likely to remain consistent moving forward in games the Steelers are able to control. Harris enters his bye week healthy and ready to contribute continuous RB2 value moving forward.29 October 2024
Warren continued to play near-even snaps to lead back Najee Harris but lagged the latter in touches in another game the Steelers were able to control with their defense. That is likely to remain consistent moving forward until the Steelers find themselves in negative game script, in which case we might see a closer touch distribution between the two. The Steelers will have two weeks to prepare for the Commanders as they head to their bye at a 6-2 record.29 October 2024
Russell Wilson connected with Pickens on the team’s first drive for an 11-yard touchdown, which was called back for an offensive face mask penalty. Later in the first half, Pickens appeared to catch a nine-yard touchdown in the back of the end zone but review would overturn the score after it was revealed he did not get his second foot down before landing out of bounds. The highlight of the game for the electric alpha wide receiver came on a 43-yard reception down the left sideline on a dime b ...29 October 2024
Jefferson continued to operate as the WR2 for an offense without clear options behind alpha wide receiver George Pickens, catching a 36-yard pass in the first quarter to propel his fantasy score. Even with a key role in the offense, Jefferson remains of little fantasy utility playing for an offense that typically does not go out of its way to push the offensive aggression behind one of the top defenses in the league.29 October 2024
The diminutive speedster scored the first touchdown of the game on a punt return in the third quarter and added his second touchdown on the following possession, a 29-yard catch up the seam. His role on the offense remains tertiary to George Pickens and the run game, meaning he is unlikely to return many useful fantasy weeks playing in an offense typically content to manage the game.29 October 2024
Freiermuth now has four straight games of three or fewer receptions as the Steelers head to their bye week at 6-2. His route participation rate remains solid at 74.9%, but the do-it-all tight end has not seen his number called often of late as the Steelers have been able to control game environments with their defense. His fantasy value will have to wait for more negative game environments to return useful production.29 October 2024
Robinson finished third on the team in targets and fourth on the team in yards as Daniel Jones directed 20 of his 34 pass attempts towards the top duo of Malik Nabers and Darius Slayton. The only fantasy consideration that should be given to Robinson is in deep PPR leagues considering his low aDOT role in a poor offense.29 October 2024
The towering rookie tight end continues to play almost every offensive snap for the Giants but has been primarily used as a blocker. Even so, a key injury to one of the top three pass-catchers could force head coach Brian Daboll to work Johnson more as an outlet at some point this season. Managers in deeper leagues could do worse than stashing him on their bench considering he plays for the thinnest position in fantasy.29 October 2024
While he did not throw an interception for his second straight start in Pittsburgh, Wilson did lose a key fumble in the fourth quarter but T.J. Watt returned the favor on the following drive, collecting a strip-sack from Daniel Jones to give the ball right back to the Steelers. One of the aspects of Wilson’s game that the team had sorely been missing with Justin Fields under center is his ability to deliver touch-pass deep balls as he connected with alpha wide receiver George Pickens on anothe ...29 October 2024
Nabers was mostly quiet until the fourth quarter when he rattled off three additional catches as the Giants were forced into catchup mode. His final grab marked his longest of the game, a 16-yard dime down the right sideline to keep a tying bid alive. A Daniel Jones interception two plays later would ice the game for the Steelers and send the Giants to 2-6. The Giants host the Commanders in Week 9, a location they have managed just one offensive touchdown all season.29 October 2024
Jones also lost a fumble on a T.J. Watt strip-sack in the fourth quarter with the team driving to potentially equalize. The New York defense would force a three-and-out to get the ball back for another opportunity to draw the score even until Jones threw an interception to end the game. Jones honed in on Malik Nabers and Darius Slayton, feeding the top duo 20 targets on his 38 pass attempts, ultimately failing to throw for a touchdown for the fifth time in eight games and all three of his last t ...29 October 2024
Tracy out-touched Devin Singletary 22 to four as the clear lead back for the Giants, displaying elite contact balance while rushing for much of his yardage total after contact. He departed the field of play with trainers prior to the half after getting his neck/shoulder areas checked out on the sideline but returned with the team for the second half. He then departed the contest for good on the team’s penultimate drive with an apparent head injury, which could force him into the concussion pro ...29 October 2024
Singletary saw just four touches to the 22 of rookie Tyrone Tracy, the latter of whom operated as the clear lead back for the second consecutive week with both backs healthy. That said, Tracy departed on the team’s penultimate drive with an apparent head injury, which could spell trouble for his availability on a short week in Week 9. If Tracy enters the league’s concussion protocol and can’t clear it in time for the team’s Week 9 game against the Commanders, we could see another shuffli ...29 October 2024
Slayton started the game off with a splash, catching a 43-yard dime down the sideline on the team’s first possession. He would add three more catches the rest of the way to surpass 100 yards through the air for the second time this season. His seven targets fell well short of rookie alpha Malik Nabers’ 13, but the yardage was a welcomed sight for fantasy managers in deep leagues. His next opportunity to return fantasy utility comes in Week 9 when the Giants host the Commanders, a location th ...29 October 2024
Tracy started and played well ahead of Devin Singletary in the first half, amassing a solid 35 yards on nine carries in addition to five yards on one reception. Singletary saw just one carry and one target in the first two frames playing behind Tracy, the latter of whom has asserted control of the backfield over the previous month of play. An update from the team on Tracy’s status should come prior to the start of the third quarter.29 October 2024
Tracy returned with the team after the break after leaving the field of play early with trainers. He ripped off his longest carry of the game on his second touch of the second half, breaking off a 26-yard gain on the ground. All appears to be good with the rookie converted wide receiver.
