A late second quarter touchdown drive that was sparked by a long reception by veteran wide receiver Stefon Diggs was capped off by tight end Ben Sinnott’s first touchdown of the season to send the Commanders into the half with a three-point lead. The two sides would trade touchdowns in the third quarter before the wheels appeared to fall off for Washington, with their first three possessions of the final frame going turnover on downs, interception, and interception, allowing the Giants to nurse a four-point lead inside the two-minute warning. Daniels drove the field in 49 seconds on just three plays, connecting with Diggs for a 32-yard touchdown with under a minute remaining. The Commanders would escape on the backs of a Rasul Douglas interception to send the team to a 3-5-1 record, now two games back of the Giants and with the first tie-breaker in hand following the previous tie. Daniels will look to keep the momentum going in a Week 11 meeting with the surging Bengals, where he will be an upside QB1 in another must-win game.

Nacua will be eligible to return for the Rams’ Week 15 game against the Cowboys. The Rams are on bye in Week 11, and he is required to miss at least four games. It was previously reported that Nacua was expected to return in Week 14 or 15. Shortly before the team made this announcement, NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport said that the team was “confident” Nacua would return in that timeframe. Rams coach Sean McVay previously said that the Rams would not place him on injured reserve due to transaction limitations. It is unclear whether anything has changed. Nacua suffered PCL and MCL sprains, along with a turf toe injury in Week 10 against the Commanders. ESPN’s Adam Schefter specifically cited Nacua’s MCL sprain after the move was made, adding that McVay said Nacua will miss “extended time.” Nacua should be stashed on fantasy football benches at this time.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
