New England Patriots wide receiver Efton Chism III, handling a larger role with teammate A.J. Brown (ankle, knee) sidelined by ankle and knee concerns, has seen five targets in each of the past two games, with his second-quarter touchdown against the Packers elevating him to WR17 in Week 9. Brown will reportedly travel to Germany ahead of a Week 10 international matchup with the Lions, but should he miss his third consecutive game, Chism offers desperation flex appeal against a defense that has been among the most favorable matchups for fantasy wide receivers. A potentially expanded role for Mack Hollins following his first game back from injured reserve lowers Chism's ceiling, but in a matchup with one of the highest projected point totals of the week, the second-year wideout could stay involved in the red zone.--Patrick McGrath

The Cincinnati Bengals' and Philadelphia Eagles' deal for defensive end Arnold Ebiketie on Tuesday has fallen through and will not happen, sources told NFL insider Jordan Schultz. The trade falling through is not physical or performance-related, according to sources. The Bengals have been in the market for pass-rush help to bolster their defense for the second half of the season, but they will now need to go in another direction and will not be acquiring Ebiketie. The Bengals were set to send the Eagles a sixth-round pick in next year's draft for the 27-year-old pass-rusher. Per the NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, the Bengals called the deal off because they would have lost a third-round compensatory pick if the deal was completed. It is possible that the Eagles send Ebiketie packing to another team before Tuesday's trade deadline passes. The former second-rounder in 2022 from Penn State is in his first year in Philly in 2026 and has 25 tackles (11 solo) and no sacks through his first nine games of the season. Ebiketie has a total of 16.5 sacks in his four-plus years in the NFL.--Keith Hernandez

It's been a month and a half since we saw Jackson Koivun near the top of a leaderboard, as the rising star continues to sharpen his game ahead of the 2027 season. He is perhaps the leading name amongst a group of young talent coming from the college ranks (or high school) to cut their teeth in professional golf. The former Auburn Tiger was the first in this group to win, which came at the 3M Open. And though another victory in 2027 is unlikely, what happens over the next couple of weeks could do a lot for him come spring. The talent level should attract some interest, especially in a field this weak. The ball-striking prowess and maturity are already there, making him a threat at every stop.--Todd McGill - Rotoballer

The San Francisco 49ers are likely to release wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk by 4:00 p.m. ET on Tuesday, according to Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk. The Player Personnel Manual shows that Aiyuk's 2025 salary of $1.17 million should have tolled into 2026 due to the 49ers placing him on the left-squad list, but official NFL records now show Aiyuk as having a base salary of $13.75 million for the balance of 2026. It means that if Aiyuk is on San Francisco's roster at the close of business on Tuesday, his salary for Week 10 vests at $1.52 million. The Niners do not want to give the disgruntled wideout that money, but they will not be able to trade him at that number before Tuesday's deadline. The NFL and the 49ers were putting the squeeze on Aiyuk to refund upwards of $13 million in previously paid bonus money, so it is likely that the former first-rounder sent a substantial portion of that number to be reinstated and force his release so that he can sign with a new team for the remainder of the 2026 season. It is the next step towards Aiyuk playing this year outside of the Bay Area, but it remains to be seen how effective he will be if he signs with a new team after missing all of the 2025 season and the first nine weeks in 2026 due to multiple torn ligaments in his knee that he suffered in 2024.--Keith Hernandez

The Atlanta Falcons released veteran kicker Nick Folk on Tuesday, sources told NFL insider Jordan Schultz. In a corresponding move, the Falcons signed kicker Jake Moody off the Baltimore Ravens' practice squad. Folk gets the boot off Atlanta's roster after going 13-for-18 on his field-goal attempts (including going 1-for-4 from 50-plus yards out) and 17-for-18 on his extra-point tries in the first nine games of the 2026 season. The 42-year-old made 96.6% of his 29 field-goal attempts in 16 games with the New York Jets last year and made over 95% of his field-goal attempts in each of the last three seasons, but the 42-year-old veteran might finally be losing his touch in his 19th year in the NFL. The Falcons had seen enough after Folk missed his fifth field-goal try of the year in the team's 34-17 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals in Madrid, Spain, this past Sunday. Folk could latch on with another team looking for kicking help for the second half of the season, or he could ride off into retirement.--Keith Hernandez

The Atlanta Falcons are signing kicker Jake Moody off the Baltimore Ravens' practice squad and adding him to their 53-man roster on Tuesday, sources told NFL insider Jordan Schultz. Moody hit a 53-yard field goal for the Ravens on Thursday in their blowout loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars and is now poised to take over as Atlanta's placekicker after the release of Nick Folk on Tuesday. The 26-year-old Moody was cut by the Washington Commanders during preseason. The former third-round pick by the San Francisco 49ers in 2023 from Michigan played with the 49ers, Commanders, and Chicago Bears last year, making 19 of his 23 field-goal attempts (82.6%) and 15 of his 16 extra-point tries in nine games played. Moody has a 78.3% career field-goal percentage on 65 total attempts over 41 games played. For a Falcons offense that is only putting up 20.9 points per game so far in 2026, Moody should be off the streaming radar in most fantasy leagues as the Falcons head into a Week 10 matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs.--Keith Hernandez

A disappointing 2026 regular season for Joe Highsmith has continued this fall, as he has missed the cut in his last three starts. The pressure is mounting for the 26-year-old, with the PGA Tour set to change drastically in 2028. He'll have another season to figure things out, but at 165th in FedEx Cup points, there is a lot to fix. He ranks 153rd in strokes gained from tee to green (-0.636) and has arguably been the worst statistical putter on the planet since July. Highsmith certainly doesn't possess any DFS appeal, but he was a young player on the radar coming into the season. It will be interesting to see if he can right the ship a year from now.--Todd McGill - Rotoballer

Denver Broncos tight end Evan Engram has garnered interest around the NFL with the trade deadline coming on Tuesday afternoon, but he is considered unlikely to be moved in part because Denver does not have a replacement, according to Jeremy Fowler of ESPN. The Broncos have called around just in case, but it does not appear that Engram will be joining another team for the second half of the 2026 season. The 32-year-old veteran caught four of his five targets for 33 yards in the Week 9 win over the Carolina Panthers on Sunday, which was actually one of his better performances of the season. Head coach Sean Payton talked Engram up as a Joker on offense going into last season, but the Broncos have not found an ideal role for him since the start of last year. He had a 50-461-1 line in 16 regular-season games last season in his first year in the Mile High City, and Engram has caught only 17 of his 30 targets for 169 yards and one touchdown through nine games in 2026 in his 10th year in the league. A trade out of Denver might be the only thing that can save Engram's fantasy value, and it does not look like that is in the cards.--Keith Hernandez

The Athletic's Zack Rosenblatt writes that it does not seem like New York Jets running back Breece Hall is going anywhere before Tuesday's NFL trade deadline. Rosenblatt adds that the Jets are not waving the white flag on the season, even with how badly it has gone up to this point. After another loss on Sunday in Week 9 to the Kansas City Chiefs, the Jets sit in third place in the AFC East with a record of 2-7 through the first nine weeks of 2026. In his first action since Week 3 due to a quadriceps injury, the 25-year-old Hall had 15 carries for 61 yards and caught three of his four targets for 26 yards in the passing game for the Jets as their clear lead back despite missing extended time. Meanwhile, Braelon Allen, who performed as an RB1 with Hall out, had just 10 touches for 54 yards and lost a fumble. The Jets have said they are not in the business of trading good players like Hall away, so it is looking likely that he will stay in New York as their RB1 for the rest of the season. He is averaging just 3.4 yards on his 66 rushing attempts in four games in 2026, but Hall's volume should at least make him a high-end RB2 for fantasy managers if he stays with the Jets.--Keith Hernandez

It was simply a matter of time before Blades Brown held on to win a PGA Tour event, and really, doing so in his second start since earning tour credentials through the Korn Ferry Tour is unsurprising. He's played a jam-packed 31 events in 2026, including 13 PGA Tour starts, and has only finished outside the top 25 nine times. Data from his limited starts on the main circuit show the 19-year-old is an impressive ball striker, as his 0.405 strokes gained off the tee and 0.534 on approach averages would rank inside the top 25 for the season. The Canyons Course is long at over 7,400 yards, so ball striking could be the leading factor in scoring. However, it was the putter that inevitably pushed him over the finish line on Sunday. If the flat stick stays hot while his iron play returns, there isn't a reason we couldn't see him back in contention this week.--Todd McGill - Rotoballer

Miami Dolphins defensive tackle Zach Sieler (biceps) will undergo season-ending surgery after rupturing his biceps on the first play of Sunday's loss to the Detroit Lions, according to Adam Schefter. Sieler played through the injury, and Schefter reported an expected recovery of five to six months. He logged 42 of Miami's 59 defensive snaps and stopped Jahmyr Gibbs for a three-yard loss in the second quarter. He started all eight games for Miami this season, recording 24 tackles and two sacks while playing 76% of the team's defensive snaps. With Indianapolis next in Week 10, Miami can turn to two linemen who already played more than 60% of its defensive snaps against Detroit. Jordan Phillips made six tackles on 38 snaps, bringing him level with Sieler at 24 tackles for the season. Zeek Biggers, who has lined up at both end and tackle, went from 30 snaps against New England to 39 against Detroit. He finished with two quarterback hits and forced a punt with his first sack of the season, bringing down Jared Goff on third down.--Bruno Mulé
