Gainwell never seemed in danger of missing Week 9 against the Bears, but the 27-year-old should be just fine for the Week 9 bout against the Bears. He’s coming off a monster 140-yard performance against Atlanta, but keep in mind that Tampa Bay was basically a service academy school for that game with zero completions. He’s closer to FLEX than RB2.05 November 2026
It’s a new injury designation for Wirfs, so it seems likely that the ailment occurred during Wednesday’s practice. The Buccaneers already have offensive line issues, and anyone who saw the Bears ravage the Seahawks’ offensive line knows what that unit is capable of. It could be a long day for Baker Mayfield if Wirfs can’t go.05 November 2026
This is concerning. Fannin suffered a groin injury during his 2025 rookie season and underwent offseason surgery to address it. It is possible this is just general soreness, but fantasy managers must closely monitor his practice participation level tomorrow. KC Concepcion operates in a similar role and would directly benefit if Fanning is unable to play this week.05 November 2026
Boston is on track to face the Saints this week, but lower-body injuries have limited his production since Week 4. The Browns are also likely to have Shedeur Sanders under center, adding an unknown variable to the mix as the two players hone their chemistry. Boston is likely just a boom-bust FLEX.

Reiss was asked about Henderson’s status during his weekly appearance on the local radio show, Toucher & Hardy. According to Reiss, Henderson has faced a lot of new challenges this season, including recurring ankle issues and limited playing time, and the adversity has been tough for Henderson to deal with. Some might remember that similar reports surfaced regarding Bucky Irving, beset by multiple injuries, last season. Henderson might need more time before he resumes playing. Stay tuned. ...05 November 2026
Evans wasn’t spotted at practice, nor was Deebo Samuel (hamstring). Neither player is expected to play against the Raiders on Thursday, and Thursday’s missed practice seems to clinch that. The 49ers’ receiving crops are in dire straits, with Christian Kirk also not practicing with his knee injury.05 November 2026

Atwell earned four targets last week, catching two for 52 yards. Increasing his workload could only mean one or two more targets, so Atwell does not need to be quickly picked up in 12-team formats. For those struggling at the wide receiver position, Atwell simply enters the boom-bust FLEX conversation.05 November 2026

Taylor is firmly on track to play in Week 9 against the Chiefs. He will operate as the team’s top tight end, keeping intriguing rookie Kenyon Sadiq in the TE2 tier.05 November 2026
“It’s doing good. I’m excited to be back out there,” Lock said. “Felt great to get under center, rip some balls yesterday. Feels good.” Lock noted that he’ll go through a normal week of practice, and assuming there’s no setbacks, he’ll be under center in place of Sam Darnold (rib/quad) for Week 9 against the Cardinals. If Lock can’t go, it’ll be Jalen Milroe.05 November 2026
It’s back-to-back missed practices for the 24-year-old ahead of Week 9’s contest against the Buccaneers. It seems more than likely that Monangai comes back for Week 10 after the bye, but if he can get a full session in, there’s a chance he rolls against Tampa Bay come Sunday.05 November 2026
We expect to see Hall listed as a full participant on today’s injury report. An update will be provided if that is not the case. Earlier today, Jets OC Frank Reich discussed Hall and Braelon Allen’s expected usage, saying having the two players is “a great problem to have,” referring to the duo as “two No. 1 backs.” That said, Reich added that Hall “is obviously the bell cow,” but the backfield usage will be a “mix” of both players. Jets coach Aaron Glenn will reportedly sha ...05 November 2026
The Bengals No. 1 cornerback is firmly on track to play in Week 9 against the Falcons. While Drake London would get a matchup boost if Turner were to sit out, Turner’s presence does not drop London out of the WR1 tier.05 November 2026
It appears it’ll be another DNP for Knight as he entered the concussion protocol following Sunday’s win over the Cowboys in Week 8. The 25-year-old tailback seems unlikely to be able to go in Week 9 against the Seahawks, but there should be further updates on Knight’s status soon.05 November 2026
Harbaugh reportedly made comments to this effect earlier in the week. When asked for his thoughts on the matter, OC Mike McDaniel said he is “excited about someone dictating the rotation” and added that Hampton has “had a really great week of prep.” Hampton hasn’t scored double-digit half-PPR points since Week 4. Whether the potential usage increase can get him back to 10.0-plus points remains to be seen, but this week’s comments are at least somewhat encouraging.05 November 2026
Barkley is again on track to play through his injuries on game day. The Eagles’ offensive centerpiece totaled 54 scrimmage yards, one catch and one touchdown in the Eagles’ Week 8 loss to the Commanders. He may have trouble solidifying a spot in the RB1 tier, given the state of the Eagles’ offense, but he remains a high-end RB2 at worst, based on talent and usage.05 November 2026
Scott has not played on offense at all this season, but he has successfully carved out a role on special teams. According to the Chicago Tribune’s Brad Biggs, the Bears have reason to believe that Scott’s injured reserve stint “will be on the shorter side.”
