49ers RB JaMycal Hasty (ankle) is out for Monday night's game vs. the Rams. Hasty leads 49ers RBs with 18 targets this season, so his absence opens up some work in the passing game. It's a small boost to RB Elijah Mitchell's Week 10 outlook. RBs Jeff Wilson and Trey Sermon also figure to be active for San Francisco on Monday night but aren't fantasy options.
The Bucs expect to have WR Chris Godwin (foot) for Sunday's game against Washington, according to The Athletic's Greg Auman. Godwin only got in a limited practice on Friday after hurting his foot in Tampa's last game, prior to the Week 9 bye. We'll look for additional updates on his status tomorrow morning. There's still a chance that he's limited and/or suffers an in-game setback. The matchup is sweet, though, vs. the 32nd-ranked WR defense.
The Titans have placed WR Julio Jones on IR for the hamstring he injured in Friday's practice. That knocks him out for at least the next 3 games, starting with Sunday's matchup with New Orleans. His absence can only help the target outlook for A.J. Brown, who was already dominating on that ront. Nick Westbrook-Ikhine and Chester Rogers were the next 2 WRs in playing time last week against the Rams, with nearly identical snap totals. Marcus Johnson trailed behind them. We also might see more work for a TE group with Geoff Swaim and Anthony Firkser at the front. The hamstring has been a nagging issue for Jones through most of the season. We'll see if this IR stint can shake it and make him a factor by fantasy playoff time.
The Buccaneers have elevated WR Breshad Perriman and TE Darren Fells from the practice squad for Sunday's game against Washington. Neither figures to be much of a fantasy factor. The Perriman move might be a bad sign for Chris Godwin's chances of playing, though. Fells' addition crowds a TE situation that leaves no clear answer for fantasy lineups.
The Packers have activated QB Aaron Rodgers from the COVID list, making him officially available for Sunday's game against the Seahawks. Green Bay also added Rodgers to the injury report with a toe issue, but he carries no game status. Rodgers might have tripped over 1 of the photographers chasing anyone who looks remotely like him (with a mask on) in public over the past week.
The Browns have activated LB Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah off IR, where he missed the past 3 games with a high-ankle sprain. He's been added to the injury report as questionable for Sunday's game against the Patriots. The fact that they activated him indicates the rookie will play, but we'd be hesitant to use him in IDP lineups in the 1st game back. JOK had elevated to tops among Cleveland LBs in playing time before his injury. We'll be curious to see whether/how soon he pushes Malcolm Smith aside and/or passes Anthony Walker.
Washington has placed DE Montez Sweat on IR for his broken jaw. It had already been reported that the team expected Sweat to miss multiple games. So this just locks in that he'll sit out at least the next 3. Second-year DE James Smith-Williams looks like the next man up. He played the 3rd most snaps among Washington DEs in the Week 8 game in which Sweat got hurt.
The Cowboys are activating WR Michael Gallup from IR, making him eligible to play Sunday against the Falcons, according to . It'll be his 1st game action since straining a calf in Week 1. Gallup will be a risky fantasy prospect in his 1st game back, but his return can only help QB Dak Prescott in what already looked like a prime rebound spot.
Patriots RB Damien Harris (concussion) has been downgraded to out for Sunday's game vs. the Browns. RB Rhamondre Stevenson (concussion) is still listed as questionable and evidently has a shot to be cleared by tomorrow. We'll keep you updated on his status.
The Cardinals have placed RB Chase Edmonds on IR for his high-ankle sprain. We already knew he'd miss this week and was expected to miss multiple games. He's still reportedly expected to return, but it's not yet clear whether Arizona expects to get him back after the mandatory 3-game absence. James Conner takes over the backfield in Edmonds' absence, with Eno Benjamin behind him.
Update: The Cardinals are also adding RB Tavien Feaster to the roster, with Edmonds out.
ESPN's Adam Schefter confirms that WR Odell Beckham Jr. will make his Rams debut in Monday night's game against the 49ers. HC Sean McVay had hedged on whether Beckham would see game action right away, but Robert Woods' ACL tear obviously applies a big change to the offense. Of course, it's tough to know exactly how much usage we can expect for OBJ in his 1st game. The whole scenario adds upside to Van Jefferson as a deeper WR play.
Rams WR Robert Woods is done for the season after suffering an ACL tear in Friday's practice. ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that Woods got up and finished practice and even talked with reporters afterward, unaware of the injury's severity. Woods' injury obviously gives a big boost to Odell Beckham Jr.'s upside and keeps Van Jefferson relevant. We're not adjusting our outlook for QB Matthew Stafford, thanks to Beckham's arrival.
Bills RB Zack Moss has cleared the concussion protocol, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Barring a setback, Moss will be available for Sunday's game vs. the Jets. He had been operating as Buffalo's lead back but was out-carried 5 to 3 by Devin Singletary before exiting last week's loss to Jacksonville. Moss and Singletary both look like RB3s with upside vs. the Jets tomorrow.
Packers QB Aaron Rodgers is set to be cleared from the COVID list and start Sunday's game vs. the Seahawks, NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reports. Rodgers hasn't logged an official practice since October 27 -- about 2-and-a-half weeks ago. He participated in meetings virtually throughout this week and will take part in Saturday's walkthrough. The missed time is less of a concern considering this is a 17-year veteran who's been in HC Matt LaFleur's offense since 2019.
Broncos LB Baron Browning (back), OLB Malik Reed (hip), CB Patrick Surtain II (knee) and DE Shelby Harris (illness) are questionable for Sunday's game against the Eagles. HC Vic Fangio said Friday that he felt "good" about Browning's chances of playing. Browning popped up on the injury report Thursday, missing practice. But he returned for limited participation Friday. Harris returned for a limited Friday workout after missing the 1st 2 days and seems to be trending toward playing. Reed managed limited practices Thursday and Friday after sustaining his injury late in the Week 9 practice run and missing the win at Dallas. Surtain returned to a limited Friday practice, and Fangio said he'd need to look back over the tape of Surtain's practice to determine his status.
Cardinals S Budda Baker (concussion, knee) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Panthers. Baker returned to practice Friday after missing the previous 2 days. HC Kliff Kingsbury said the team expects Baker to play. We'll confirm his status Sunday afternoon.
Panthers DE Brian Burns (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Cardinals. He progressed throughout the week, from missing Wednesday's practice to being limited Thursday and then a full Friday workout. We'll check Burns' status Sunday around 2:30 p.m. ET, when the inactives come out.
The Titans have ruled LB David Long (hamstring) out for Sunday's game against the Saints. LB Rashaan Evans (ankle) is questionable but doesn't look like a particularly good bet to play. He followed a limited Wednesday by missing practice Thursday and Friday. No Evans would leave Jayon Brown and rookie Monty Rice as the off-ball LBs. Brown played 70% of the snaps in Sunday night's win over the Rams, his return from a knee sprain that landed him on IR. We're betting that Brown increases that playing time and leads Evans or Rice in that category. He supplied 7 solos last week and should be a solid bet for at least LB3 production vs. New Orleans -- with upside beyond that.
Broncos WR Tim Patrick (knee) got in just 2 limited practices this week and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Eagles. Patrick has remained a key cog in Denver's passing game even since WR Jerry Jeudy returned. So his absence on Sunday would be a boost to Jeudy and WR Courtland Sutton's outlooks.
Buccaneers EDGE Jason Pierre-Paul is questionable for Sunday's game against Washington. He sat out practice all week with shoulder and hand injuries, despite coming off the bye. But JPP did the same thing for Week 8 and played through a questionable tag for his highest snap share since Week 1. We'll confirm Pierre-Paul's status Sunday, but expect him to play.
