Award-Winning Fantasy Football Advice

Commanders HC Dan Quinn said Tuesday that QB Jayden Daniels (hamstring) had a good rehab session and is expected to practice on Wednesday. He seems to have a legitimate shot to make it back for Sunday night's game against the Seahawks, although fantasy managers should still have a backup option rostered. We'll keep you updated on Daniels' progress throughout the week.

NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reports that Chiefs RB Isiah Pacheco is "week-to-week" with an MCL sprain that knocked him out late in Monday night's win over the Commanders. The injury occurred on Kansas City's third-to-last offensive play of the game.

The Saints have announced that they'll be starting QB Tyler Shough this Sunday against the Rams. The move comes as no real surprise after New Orleans benched Spencer Rattler in the third quarter of the Week 8 loss to Tampa Bay.

The Cardinals plan on re-signing RB Michael Carter, according to ESPN's Josh Weinfuss. Carter was released on Monday, but it sounds like it was a procedural move. And that makes sense considering his departure leaves only Bam Knight and Emari Demercado (who missed Arizona's last game back in Week 7) in the RB room. We'll let you know if and when the Carter re-signing becomes official. Knight is still worth adding where available as the likely lead back for Monday night's game vs. the Cowboys' 31st-ranked RB defense. Carter, assuming he re-joins the team, will be on the RB3/Flex radar for that one.

The Athletic's Joe Person came away from Panthers HC Dave Canales' Monday press conference believing that it "seems pretty clear Dave Canales is going to give Rico Dowdle the lion's share of carries." Canales said that he wanted to give RB Chuba Hubbard an opportunity coming back from his calf injury, per Person, but that "we cannot ignore the fact that Rico has been exceptional."

Commanders WR Terry McLaurin is questionable to return to Monday night's game vs. the Chiefs with a quad injury. He, of course, had been sidelined since Week 3 with a quad injury before returning for this game. This is presumably an aggravation. Don't expect to see McLaurin back out there tonight with the Commanders down by 21. We'll update his status when we learn more. Washington hosts the Seahawks this Sunday night.

49ers HC Kyle Shanahan said, "I don't think it's a long shot" when asked if QB Brock Purdy (toe) will be able to play vs. the Giants this weekend. Um, we guess we'll take that? "I think it's too early to say," Shanahan added. "I know he is doing better and we'll see how he's doing Wednesday. Hopefully if he's doing good, he'll get in some reps." Purdy has been limited in practice the past two weeks. QB Mac Jones, meanwhile, has cooled off over the last two weeks. totaling just 345 yards with two TDs and two INTs. We'll keep you updated on Purdy's progress throughout the week.

The Falcons placed LB Divine Deablo on IR ahead of Sunday's loss to the Dolphins. That means his forearm fracture will cost at least three more games. Week 12 at New Orleans will be the first time Deablo's eligible to return.

Ravens HC John Harbaugh said Monday that he's "very confident" QB Lamar Jackson (hamstring) will be able to play vs. the Dolphins on Thursday night. Jackson wound up being limited in practice all last week (although he was originally listed as a full participant on Friday). He'll be 32 days removed from his hamstring injury when Thursday night's game kicks off, and the team has seemingly been cautious bringing Jackson back. We'll keep you updated on his status over the next few days, but an active Jackson will be a must-start in fantasy lineups.
