Arizona Cardinals quarterback Carson Beck will make his first NFL start Sunday against the Los Angeles Rams after head coach Mike LaFleur named him the starter, Darren Urban reported. Arizona placed Gardner Minshew II on injured reserve Tuesday with a season-ending elbow injury after trading former starter Jacoby Brissett to Baltimore last week. Beck has yet to attempt a regular-season pass. He completed 15 of 19 passes for 188 yards and a touchdown in the Hall of Fame Game before a rib injury sidelined him for the rest of the preseason. RotoBaller's early Week 10 rankings put Beck at QB28, making him a fill-in for Superflex managers short on starters. The Rams have allowed 6.4 yards per pass attempt through Week 9, and Beck will face them without wide receiver Michael Wilson, who went on injured reserve with a neck injury after catching 51 passes for 546 yards in eight games. Tight end Trey McBride caught seven passes for 53 yards on 70 of 72 offensive snaps in the first Rams meeting and added seven catches for 54 yards Sunday at Seattle.--Bruno Mulé

The Los Angeles Rams are not placing wide receiver Puka Nacua (knee, toe) on Injured Reserve because of roster mechanics, but he will be out for some time, according to Nate Atkins of The Athletic. A report earlier on Wednesday said that the Rams are optimistic that Nacua will be able to return in Week 14 against the division-rival San Francisco 49ers or in Week 15 against the Dallas Cowboys. Davante Adams, Jordan Whittington, and Terrance Ferguson are all already on IR, so the Rams are running out of pass-catchers in their passing game. If the Rams were to place Nacua on IR, he would still be required to miss at least four games, even though the Rams have their bye coming in Week 11. Fantasy managers will not get any roster relief themselves if Nacua is kept off IR, but he should remain stashed in all fantasy leagues as one of the best receivers in the NFL when he is healthy. The 25-year-old two-time Pro Bowler caught 14 of 19 targets for 150 yards and a touchdown (his third week in a row with a score) in Sunday's 20-13 win over the Washington Commanders in Week 9, but he came out of that contest with an MCL/PCL issue in his knee and turf toe. It is a tough blow for fantasy managers and the Rams, but if he recovers quickly, Nacua could be back in the fold just in time for the fantasy playoffs.--Keith Hernandez

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Drew Lock (oblique) is expected to start Sunday against the Las Vegas Raiders. Head coach Mike Macdonald plans to give Jalen Milroe some first-team reps and manage Lock's throws much as he did last week when Lock had elbow tendinitis, according to Gregg Bell. Seattle listed Lock as limited all three days last week, beginning with Wednesday's walkthrough estimate. Lock said Thursday was his only throwing session in practice before he started in place of Sam Darnold (quadriceps, ribs), whom Macdonald described as week-to-week on Monday. Lock played through the oblique injury in the 17-3 win over the Arizona Cardinals, completing 19 of 28 passes for 175 yards and a touchdown without an interception. He went 13-for-18 for 110 yards on throws released in under 2.5 seconds, including his touchdown to AJ Barner. The quick passing game helped Seattle avoid a sack, and running back Jadarian Price led the team with 54 receiving yards on four catches. If Lock starts, he's a QB2 option in Superflex leagues against a Las Vegas defense that has allowed 20 passing touchdowns through Week 9.--Bruno Mulé

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Germie Bernard has a better chance to keep his expanded role after the team stood pat at Tuesday's trade deadline. The Steelers discussed potential deals for Brian Thomas Jr., Josh Downs and Calvin Ridley, according to Gerry Dulac of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. Bernard drew 11 targets in his first four games and 31 in four games since Michael Pittman Jr. (foot) went on injured reserve. He played 85% to 94% of the offensive snaps in those four games after playing fewer than half in three of the first four. Bernard caught eight of 10 targets for 57 yards over his last two games and went scoreless in both. He's a low-end flex option in 12-team PPR leagues for Sunday night's visit to the Cincinnati Bengals if Pittman remains sidelined. Head coach Mike McCarthy said Monday that Pittman was getting close to returning, and the team still lists him on injured reserve. In the first meeting with Cincinnati, Pittman drew five targets and Bernard caught his only target for 14 yards.--Bruno Mulé

Carolina Panthers running back Jonathon Brooks (groin) practiced in full Wednesday after the team opened his return window from injured reserve. He has missed six games since aggravating the injury late in the Week 2 win at Atlanta and remains on injured reserve as Carolina prepares to visit the New Orleans Saints on Sunday. Brooks went from 19% of the offensive snaps in the opener against Chicago to 30% against Atlanta, where he ran five times for 16 yards and caught a pass. Chuba Hubbard played 65% of the snaps in that game and has played at least 89% in three of Carolina's last four games. Keep Brooks on the bench in Week 10 even if Carolina activates him. Trevor Etienne has played 12 offensive snaps and carried three times for eight yards over the past two games. Carolina also lists him as its lead punt returner for Week 10. Brooks handled the backup work when Etienne was on injured reserve, and the two have yet to dress for the same game this season.--Bruno Mulé

Wide receiver Josh Downs took part in his first practice as a member of the Kansas City Chiefs on Wednesday, according to Matt Derrick of ChiefsDigest.com. The Chiefs sent fourth- and fifth-round picks in 2027 to the Colts in exchange for Downs and a seventh-rounder on Tuesday. The 25-year-old will immediately give the Chiefs' passing game a boost alongside Rashee Rice, Xavier Worthy (hamstring), and tight end Travis Kelce. The move to a much more dynamic offense under head coach Andy Reid should be a massive boost for Downs' fantasy football value after he failed to break out in an elevated role in the first nine weeks of 2026 with the Colts. Even with Alec Pierce (heel) out for most of the year, Downs caught 33 passes for 354 yards (10.7 yards per reception) and only one touchdown in nine games before the trade to KC. He will receive a big quarterback upgrade from Daniel Jones to Patrick Mahomes, and he will look to get off to a great start in his debut with the Chiefs this Sunday against the Atlanta Falcons. Downs should be scooped up off the waiver wire in any league where he was dropped. RotoBaller has Downs ranked as the No. 41 WR for this week's game against the Falcons on the road.--Keith Hernandez

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver George Pickens (hamstring) was seen going through individual drills during Wednesday's practice, according to Jon Machota of The Athletic. Pickens might be listed as limited on Wednesday's injury report, but it is a good sign after he was inactive for Sunday's Week 9 win over the Indianapolis Colts. The 25-year-old might need to upgrade to a full practice this week to avoid another questionable tag going into the weekend, but he appears to be in better shape this week than he was last week as he tries to return for Sunday's Week 10 showdown at home against the San Francisco 49ers. After last year's breakout in his first year in Dallas, Pickens has been productive but not quite as good, catching 39 passes for 533 yards (13.7 yards per reception) and two touchdowns in eight games played. Teammate CeeDee Lamb has once again taken over as the Cowboys' WR1 through nine weeks. It does not mean that Pickens cannot improve in the second half, though, after the Cowboys hung on to the former second-rounder at Tuesday's NFL trade deadline. If Pickens returns this weekend, he will be back on the WR2 radar, while Ryan Flournoy will have a lowered ceiling and floor as Dallas' WR3.--Keith Hernandez

New England Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel said on Wednesday that wide receiver A.J. Brown (knee, ankle) is traveling with the team to Germany for their Week 10 showdown against the Detroit Lions, according to Evan Lazar of the team's official website. After already spending time on Injured Reserve in his first year with the Pats due to a high-ankle sprain suffered in the season-opening loss to the Seattle Seahawks, the 29-year-old Pro Bowler has missed the last two games due to an ongoing knee issue. The fact that he is making the trip to Munich, though, gives fantasy managers hope that he will return in a great matchup against the Lions' defense. DeMario Douglas has become the team's most trustworthy wideout for fantasy purposes in Brown's absence this year, but he will see his target volume drop once Brown returns. We will keep a close eye on Brown's practice status this week to give us a better idea of how good a chance he has to play overseas. The former second-rounder in 2019 by the Tennessee Titans has been a massive fantasy bust so far in 2026, but if he can put his knee injury in the rearview mirror for the second half, he could turn things around as quarterback Drake Maye's top downfield target. Brown has only nine catches in three games this year for 101 yards (11.2 yards per reception) and zero touchdowns.--Keith Hernandez

Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said that the plan is for All-Pro pass-rusher Micah Parsons (knee, illness) to do team drills in practice this week, according to Weston Hodkiewicz of the team's official website. However, Parsons is not at practice on Wednesday due to an illness. Parsons, who is on the Physically Unable to Perform list and has yet to play in 2026 after tearing his ACL in December of last year, had his 21-day practice window opened last week. If the 27-year-old can return to practice later this week, he will have a shot at being officially activated from IR to play this Sunday against the division-rival Minnesota Vikings at Lambeau Field. Despite not playing in the first nine weeks of the 2026 season, Parsons should be rostered in all IDP fantasy football leagues as a game-changing defensive line asset when he is healthy. The five-time Pro Bowler has 65 sacks in his five NFL seasons, and he was on pace for a new career high in that category last year in his first season with Green Bay before he injured his knee. Parsons had 12.5 sacks, 41 tackles (19 solo), 12 tackles for loss, 27 QB hits, and two forced fumbles in 14 games in his first year with Green Bay. His return will make the Packers' pass rush much more dynamic.--Keith Hernandez

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes (elbow) said he was relieved by the MRI results on his right elbow after he took a hard hit in Sunday's Week 9 win over the New York Jets, according to Charles Goldman of A to Z Sports. "I feel like I'm in a great spot. Now, it's just about pain and pain management. I'll do my best to be in the best position possible," Mahomes said. The two-time MVP signal-caller suffered a sprained/strained right elbow against the Jets, but he was able to practice in full on Wednesday and should be fine to play in Week 10 against the Atlanta Falcons after he returned to Sunday's 35-12 win over the Jets. Mahomes went 23-for-31 in the contest for 242 yards and two touchdowns. He now has 563 passing yards and five touchdowns without an interception in the team's last two games against the Jets and Denver Broncos, and he was given a new weapon at Tuesday's NFL trade deadline, when the Chiefs acquired receiver Josh Downs from the Indianapolis Colts. Against a Falcons defense that was just picked apart by Joe Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals, Mahomes will be in QB1 territory in fantasy football despite injuring his right elbow last Sunday.--Keith Hernandez

Houston Texans running back David Montgomery (groin) remains sidelined at Wednesday's practice, according to Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Sports. Head coach DeMeco Ryans said on Monday that he is hopeful that Montgomery would return to practice either this week or next week. The 29-year-old is not back on the field to begin this week, so he could miss yet another game this Sunday against the Cleveland Browns. Monty has been sidelined since Week 5 due to a groin injury, which has allowed Woody Marks to take over the backfield as the team's primary RB1. He got his Texans tenure off to a good start in the Week 1 loss to the Buffalo Bills, carrying the ball 20 times for 60 yards and two rushing touchdowns, but he did very little in the next four contests before injuring his groin in the Week 5 win over the division-rival Tennessee Titans. Montgomery will have a role in Houston's backfield in a timeshare alongside Marks when he returns, but he averaged only 2.7 yards per carry for 138 yards and two touchdowns on 52 carries in his first five games. At best, Monty will be a touchdown-dependent RB3/flex for fantasy managers when he is fully recovered from his groin injury.--Keith Hernandez

Former NFL head coach Rex Ryan was arrested Wednesday in Nashville after an incident last week in which he allegedly ran over the feet of two pedestrians while driving his vehicle. According to police and NFL reporter Ari Meirov, Ryan continued driving before the pedestrians caught up to him at a red light, where he allegedly exited his pickup truck and argued with them before driving away without exchanging information. A Super Bowl-winning defensive line coach with the Baltimore Ravens, Ryan has 12 years of experience as an NFL coordinator or head coach, and he now faces six misdemeanor charges, including leaving the scene of an accident.--Patrick McGrath

It sounds like Washington Commanders wide receiver Treylon Burks (foot) is trending towards playing on Thursday night in Week 10 against the division-rival New York Giants, according to Zach Selby of the team's official website. Burks was not on the field during the open portion of practice on Wednesday, but head coach Dan Quinn said that was part of the preparation process for game day. After missing the Week 9 loss to the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday due to a foot injury, the 26-year-old former first-rounder did not participate in practice on Monday, but he returned to a limited showing on Tuesday, putting him on track to have a chance to return this week. He could draw a questionable tag on Wednesday's final injury report for Week 10, but Burks appears to be on the right side of questionable right now. His return would be bad news for rookie Antonio Williams as he tries to earn more playing time in the wake of Terry McLaurin's season-ending knee injury. Burks has drawn at least five targets in each of his last three games and caught three of five targets for a season-high 81 yards in the Week 8 win over the division-rival Philadelphia Eagles with McLaurin sidelined. Because of McLaurin's injury, Burks deserves a deep-league roster spot and will be battling Williams for the WR2 role for the rest of the year behind veteran Stefon Diggs.--Keith Hernandez

Miami Dolphins quarterback Malik Willis (groin) was recently placed on injured reserve due to a lingering groin injury, but according to beat reporter Marcel Louis-Jacques, he has hopes of returning by the end of the season. Willis signed a three-year, $67.5 million deal this offseason, and in his first stint as a full-time starter, he had completed 58.2% of his passes through nine weeks, throwing six touchdowns to six interceptions, while adding 226 yards and three more scores on the ground. In his absence, the Dolphins will turn to second-year quarterback Kyle McCord, a sixth-round pick of the Eagles in 2025 who spent his rookie season on Philadelphia's practice squad before signing a reserves/futures contract with the Packers and ultimately landing in Miami via a preseason trade.--Patrick McGrath

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Xavier Worthy (hamstring) will practice for the Chiefs on Wednesday, and head coach Andy Reid said he is "actually feeling pretty good," according to Pete Sweeney of The Kansas City Star. Worthy was deemed day-to-day after leaving Sunday's Week 9 win over the New York Jets, and it looks like the 23-year-old should be fine to play this weekend against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 10. The problem for Worthy is that his already shaky fantasy football value will be negatively affected by Tuesday's acquisition of receiver Josh Downs from the Indianapolis Colts. The former first-rounder has had at least six targets in each of the last five games, but he has not gone over 50 receiving yards in the last three games and has only scored once in 2026, back in the Week 2 win over the Colts. The addition of Downs will likely cause Worthy's target volume to shrink, making him an even more unreliable low-upside WR4/flex for fantasy managers going forward. In his third year in the NFL, Worthy has 33 receptions on 47 targets for 278 yards and one touchdown, after he scored just once in 14 games as a sophomore in 2025. RotoBaller has Worthy ranked as the WR58 for the upcoming Week 10 matchup against Atlanta.--Keith Hernandez

Miami Dolphins head coach Jeff Hafley confirmed that running back De'Von Achane (knee) underwent knee surgery, and his recovery is progressing well, according to Alain Poupart of Sports Illustrated. Achane tore the ACL in his left knee in the Week 3 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs and was placed on season-ending Injured Reserve. It was a tough break for a Dolphins offense light on experienced and explosive weapons for new quarterback Malik Willis (groin), who is now on IR himself. Because the 25-year-old Achane's knee injury came early in the year, barring a setback in his lengthy and grueling rehab, he should have a chance to be ready to go for the start of the 2027 regular season next fall. With Achane out for the year in 2026, Ollie Gordon II has taken over as Miami's clear lead back, and the 22-year-old has been a nice waiver-wire pickup for fantasy managers, carrying the ball 107 times for 463 yards (4.3 yards per carry) and four rushing touchdowns in eight games played. He has added seven receptions on 10 targets for 23 yards through the air in his second season in the NFL. However, with Willis now out for at least four games, Gordon is expected to see more stacked boxes with Kyle McCord taking over for the Dolphins under center. The good news is Gordon should still be on the RB1/2 borderline for a strong Week 10 matchup against the Indianapolis Colts.--Keith Hernandez
