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.

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.06 November 2026
Coleman’s fantasy-scoring outlook has been hurt by his teammate’s improving health. At this point, Coleman is more so a single-game DFS FLEX rather than a starter in 12-team re-draft formats. He should be good to go for Week 9’s Monday Night Football game though.06 November 2026
Dawkins and starting LG Alec Anderson (ankle) have now missed two practices this week. This is concerning. The Bills face the Vikings’ elite, blitz-based defense in Week 9’s Monday Night Football game. Hopefully, the extra day off helps them return in time.06 November 2026
Bryant is expected to be activated from injured reserve by Saturday, but the team has officially listed him as questionable. He makes for a boom-bust FLEX in his first game back. The Broncos’ passing offense has struggled this season. Perhaps Bryant’s return lifts it up.06 November 2026
The Broncos’ talented safety might need another week to get his ankle healthy. Hufanga only logged two limited practice sessions this week. He has been sidelined since mid-October.06 November 2026
The Texans will be without Blankenship this week, but they get Jalen Pitre (shoulder) back. The Texans’ defense has underperformed this year, as has the Chargers’ offense. Perhaps one of the units can facilitate a get-right outing for the other.06 November 2026
Njoku was limited all week, though he apparently is not ready to return from injured reserve. He does not need to be rostered in 12-team formats. The Chargers will likely employ a three-player rotation whenever he returns.06 November 2026
Evans is dealing with tendinitis in his Achilles tendon that initially cropped up in Week 6. When speaking with the media earlier this week, general manager John Lynch said the team hopes to get Evans back in the “coming weeks,” which means he should tentatively be considered questionable to play in Week 10 against the Cowboys.06 November 2026
Samuel, Mike Evans (Achilles) and Christian Kirk (knee) are all sidelined, potentially leaving Demarcus Robinson (ankle) as a featured receiver if he can play. Samuel can continue to be stashed on benches in 12-team leagues, though his return timeline remains somewhat opaque.06 November 2026
If Robinson can make his return from injured reserve with Mike Evans (Achilles), Deebo Samuel (hamstring) and Christian Kirk (knee) sidelined, Robinson could end up returning WR3 value against the Raiders this week. Wide receiver-needy fantasy managers should add him now.06 November 2026
At this point, Kirk probably does not need to be rostered in 12-team leagues. He returned from his lengthy calf injury only to injure his knee. It’s a tough break for the veteran wide receiver.06 November 2026
McCaffrey injured his hamstring in Week 7. The 49ers were on bye in Week 8, giving him extra time to rest. McCaffrey then sat out on Wednesday before practicing in a limited capacity on Thursday. He should be in fantasy football lineups this week, facing a soft Raiders run defense, but Kaelon Black could mix in for 8-10 touches, potentially warranting FLEX consideration.06 November 2026
Bosa strained his calf while going through his pre-practice warm-up routine before Week 3’s Thursday practice, and has not played since. He has also dealt with knee tendinitis. Bosa is finally cleared to return following the 49ers’ Week 8 bye.
