The former first-round pick had big tools, but has been pushed from right tackle to left guard this year after the Saints drafted Kelvin Banks. Penning’s career-best PFF pass block grade in a season is 60.8, and his 50.4 PFF grade at guard this year in 358 snaps is on pace to be a career-worst figure. He’s a stopgap for a team that just lost Joe Alt for the season, and it’s unclear if they plan to try him at tackle or if they’ll leave him inside at this time.04 November 2025
Several teams apparently tried. Wilson remains a Jet as the deadline passes, and it seems unlikely he’ll be someone the team tries to move on from after the season as well given how it was leaked that he was untouchable. Wilson injured his knee in London and has a 36/395/4 line in six games for the Jets in 2025 so far. It seems likely that he’ll return from the knee injury in Week 10.04 November 2025
Hooker had been on the practice squad since August, but Carolina elected to sign and elevate Mike White over him. It’s possible Hooker thinks he has a better opportunity elsewhere. Even if he does, it’s hard to imagine him finding a path to a starting role at this point.04 November 2025
It’s not exactly a surprising revelation to make — if Stroud were going to return, we’d probably only see movement on Thursday or Friday on the practice report — but fantasy managers should set their Week 10 waivers with the expectation that Stroud won’t play against the Jaguars in Week 10. Davis Mills will be a low-end superflex QB2 if and when he is officially named the starter for that game.

We’re not surprised to see that Shanahan’s Week 10 estimate given in October was too optimistic — the 49ers have been very cavalier about feeding the optimism this year on Aiyuk. Assuming that the 49ers want him to actually have a real runway of practice before he acclimates, it is feeling more and more likely that Aiyuk is only back on the field for the final month or so of the regular season.04 November 2025
Shanahan added that Pearsall will be “evaluated midweek to see whether he can return to practice,” which is a more optimistic point of view. Pearsall-reliant managers have gotten used to this over the last month or so, but it looks like he’s definitely questionable-at-best for a return in Week 10.04 November 2025
Williams is notably not Micah Parsons, but if for some reason you can’t have Parsons, he’s probably on the short list of defensive line stars in the league. He’s a star run defender — something we seem to recall the Cowboys needing — by virtue of splash plays. Williams has only one sack this year, but the Jets have not held many leads and Williams does have 23.5 sacks in his past seasons. The Jets star defender has 1.5 years remaining on a four-year, $96 million extension signed in 202 ...04 November 2025
This is team three for MVS this year after spending time in Seattle and San Francisco. He doesn’t appear to be a threat to playing time right away — it is a practice squad contract — but it’s not like the Steelers have much beyond DK Metcalf and Calvin Austin in the receiver room that has proven to be better than MVS. We wouldn’t be surprised if he eventually became a low-volume part of the offense. You don’t need to spend FAAB on him unless you’re in a 20-team league.04 November 2025
You won’t believe how low this high-ankle sprain is, folks. It’s practically in the ground itself. Any time a high-ankle sprain comes to light we mentally budget for the worst and even if the Jaguars don’t want to admit it, it probably helped drive the acquisition of Jakobi Meyers in the short term. We’ll monitor Thomas’ practice reports this week but it sounds like he’s on the pessimistic side of questionable heading into the week.04 November 2025
Tryon-Shoyinka has played just 31 defensive snaps for the Browns this year after being signed as a rotational EDGE player. He’ll try to fill in the hole left by Dayo Odeyingbo’s torn Achilles for the Bears.04 November 2025
Chris Ballard has paid the first-round pick freight for a defender before, when he added DeForest Buckner to the Colts ahead of the 2020 season. It’s a stunning repudiation of the Jets’ plan to have Gardner in their core, but then again they probably never pictured they would be able to get two first-round picks for him before signing him to a long-term extension. Indianapolis’ cornerback room has been in dire need of an upgrade like this on paper for a long time. The problem is that it’ ...04 November 2025
Mitchell was buried on the Colts depth chart after he fumbled a touchdown away before the goalline, costing Indianapolis a win against the Rams. He played only 24 offensive snaps in four games afterwards. This could not be any better of a situation for him to rebound ... except for the fact that the Jets have no real quarterback. Mitchell should quickly become the Jets No. 2 wideout opposite of Garrett Wilson. He’s not worth a huge pre-emptive strike in FAAB or anything given the Jets’ circu ...04 November 2025
The trade reunites Shaheed with Seahawks OC Klint Kubiak, who held the same role in New Orleans last year. Shaheed has continued his success as the Saints’ deep ball specialist in 2025, racking up 499 yards and two scores through nine games. A drastic improvement in quarterback play should do wonders for his already strong efficiency, even if there is less volume to go around in Seattle. His presence will likely knock Tory Horton out of the starting rotation once Cooper Kupp is healthy. Horton ...04 November 2025

This echoes The Athletic’s reporting that Hunter, who injured his knee last week during a practice session, avoided “long term damage” to his knee. Hunter will miss at least the next three weeks and possibly more if the Jaguars want to be careful with the No. 2 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. The Jaguars could also be without Brian Thomas, who sustained an ankle injury during the team’s Week 9 win against the Raiders. Jacksonville on Tuesday acquired Jakobi Meyers from the Raiders. M ...04 November 2025
Meyers finally finds his way out of Vegas four months after requesting a trade to escape Chip Kelly’s offensive scheme. Meyers never gelled with Geno Smith and hardly saw an increase in usage during Brock Bowers’ extended injury absence. Meyers managed 32 catches for 352 yards and zero touchdowns over seven games with the Raiders this season. Jacksonville acquiring Meyers at the trade deadline could mean the team is anticipating a worst-case scenario for Brian Thomas, who suffered a serious ...04 November 2025
Gonzalez is set to be the Falcons’ third kicker of the 2025 season after the team parted ways with John Parker Romo following his Week 9 meltdown against the Patriots. Parker Romo had replaced Younghoe Koo as the team’s starter. Gonzalez last season with Washington made five of his seven field goal attempts and all 19 of his extra point tries. Over six NFL seasons, Gonzalez has converted 80 percent of his field goal attempts. He won’t have much fantasy appeal in Week 10 against the Colts.04 November 2025
Parker Romo sealed his fate when he missed a fourth quarter extra point last week against the Patriots. He had been shaky for a while, missing three of his 14 field goal tries since replacing Younghoe Koo as Atlanta’s kicker in September. Parker Romo, a veteran journeyman, could catch on with another kicker-needy team in the coming weeks. The Falcons are set to try Zane Gonzalez as their new kicker starting in Week 10 against the Colts.
