A previous report from Albert Breer suggested the team might be willing to trade Pollard, who is in the last year of his contract, for a fourth-round pick. Schefter threw cold water on that theory, reporting Tennessee isn’t interested in trading the 29-year-old running back. Showing fresh legs in recent weeks, Pollard is a solid RB2 the rest of the way even on a struggling Titans offense.

Aiyuk was rumored to end up in Washington all offseason and there seemingly could still be a fit there with Terry McLaurin out for the season. However, this report suggests the Commanders haven’t completely ruled it out rather than this being something they’re actively pursuing. Aiyuk met with 49ers brass Friday, though a resolution proved elusive. This saga is far from over.

Despite the Chargers being 0-7, Los Angeles isn’t acting like it. Mack is 35, on an expiring contract and seeming could garner an early day-three pick in a trade. Still, the Chargers are content to keep Mack, who Schefter says won’t be going anywhere prior to the trade deadline.

While the Jets traded young players for draft picks last season, don’t expect New York to do that again this year. A team source told Jones the Jets moving Hall is “very unlikely to happen.” Hall appears ready to return from a quad injury in Week 9 against the Chiefs, but is difficult to trust in fantasy with Braelon Allen potentially cutting into his workload after a strong showing in Hall’s absence in recent weeks.

Previous reports said Murray was “week-to-week” with the injury. There’s no question the Vikings will monitor Murray’s health every week, but a Grade 2 hamstring strain typically leads to missing multiple games. With Carson Wentz set to start on Monday Night Football against the Bills in Week 9 and the Vikings monitoring outside QB options ahead of the trade deadline, Murray isn’t even guaranteed to be the starter again once he’s healthy.

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.

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.

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 speculation at this point. Jones is set to start against the Cowboys in Week 9, but isn’t on the fantasy radar outside of 2QB/superflex leagues.

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.

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.
