  • NYG Running Back #44
    Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players
    The Giants host the Commanders for this week’s Thursday Night Football game. The open-air stadium is currently experiencing heavy rain, and Fowler indicates the rainfall will continue this evening. Devin Singletary will back up Skattebo, but the touch distribution will heavily “slant” toward Skattebo, solidifying his status as an RB2.
  • LAC Linebacker
    The move, or lack thereof, was announced by Denver around midnight, and Rapoport later gave the reasoning. Henley has been playing through a knee issue for multiple weeks, though he has also dealt with other injuries that could have caused the Broncos to back out. Denver originally agreed to give fourth- and fifth-round picks to acquire Henley. He will now return to the Chargers. As Rapoport points out, the 0-8 Chargers now officially made zero trades ahead of the deadline.
  • JAC Running Back #33
    Tuten was listed as DNP with the same ankle/foot injuries he played through last Thursday. He was clearly limited in the Jaguars’ Week 9 win over the Ravens and it is a bit discouraging that he starts out Week 10 not practicing after a mini-bye. It’s still early in the week, so this may just be injury maintenance for the 23-year-old. A practice later in the week will ease fantasy managers’ concerns, but a split in touches with Chris Rodriguez is certainly on the table again for Week 10 against the Titans.
  • NE Running Back #32
    Henderson is dealing with an unexpected medical emergency right now. We would imagine he did not travel to Germany with the team. It’s unclear when he will return. With Rhamondre Stevenson also expected to miss Week 10, Corey Kiner is in line to see the bulk of the team’s backfield touches this week.
  • NO Running Back #3
    Coming off injured reserve, Etienne can practice for 21 days before the Saints must officially either activate him or shut him down. The Saints’ No. 1 running back has been sidelined since unsuccessfully trying to play through a hamstring strain in Week 3 against the Raiders. Audric Estime could warrant RB2/FLEX treatment again this week if Etienne is not ready to face the Panthers on Sunday.
  • NYG Quarterback #18
    McCarthy was upgraded to a full practice yesterday and remained full today. He’s good to go after getting banged up in the team’s Week 9 win over the Eagles. McCarthy made a few big plays against Philly, but his accuracy issues were compounded by five sacks. His shine as a high-end QB2 has all but evaporated.
  • LA Wide Receiver #17
    Over the next three weeks, the Rams face the Cardinals, go on bye and then face the Packers. While his potential return ahead of the fantasy football playoffs is helpful, we still have a long way to go before he returns, and even then, his status for Week 13 is still uncertain. Konata Mumpfield, Tutu Atwell and CJ Daniels appear to be in line for 11 personnel duties at this time.
  • ARI Quarterback #15
    With Jacoby Brissett in Baltimore and Gardner Minshew out because of a UCL injury, the Cardinals are already down to their third-string quarterback. It was almost a given that Beck would start at some point this year, though we imagine head coach Matt LaFleur didn’t think it would be this soon. Beck played well in his lone preseason appearance, throwing for 188 yards and a score. While he’s not much of a streaming option this week, he should be good enough to keep Trey McBride at the top of the TE1 ranks, especially with Michael Wilson done for the year.
  • KC Quarterback #15
    This comes directly from Andy Reid, though we’ll have to wait until the team’s injury report officially drops to be sure it’s actually a full session. Either way, Mahomes is playing on Sunday despite suffering an ugly elbow injury in Week 9. He told reporters it’s simply a matter of pain management for now. The Chiefs may opt to lean on their ground game against the Falcons, but even that won’t knock Mahomes out of the QB1 mix after the addition of Josh Downs.
  • GB Running Back #8
    In other words, the Packers might avoid placing Jacobs on injured reserve with his surgically-repaired finger. While he’s sidelined — including in Week 10 against the Vikings — some combination of Pierre Strong, Chris Brooks, Kaleb Johnson, and MarShawn Lloyd will handle backfield duties for the pass-heavy Packers. Johnson served as the nominal lead back in Week 9 against the Patriots, while Brooks is returning from injury and should slot in as the team’s pass-catching back. Johnson can be played as a touchdown-dependent RB3 option this week against a Minnesota defense that has shown recent vulnerabilities to the run.
