5 days agoBaltimore Ravens wide receiver
Tylan Wallace (foot) was listed as a full participant during Tuesday's practice session. The 25-year-old played a season-high 35 percent of the snaps during last week's game, but picked up a foot injury in the process. He was limited to open the week, but Wallace is back to being a full participant on Tuesday. It sounds like Wallace should be ready to play in Thursday's game against the Cincinnati Bengals. Wallace has mainly been playing on special teams and has only two receptions for 31 yards on the season. He's not worth rostering in fantasy formats, but his presence is a good sign for the Ravens special teams unit.

5 days agoBaltimore Ravens running back
Rasheen Ali (ankle) was upgraded to a full participant during Tuesday's practice session. Ali has missed the last three games due to an ankle injury he suffered in Week 6. He was limited to start the week, but being upgraded to full practice means he should be ready for Thursday's game against the Cincinnati Bengals. The rookie back figures to serve as the third string option behind
Derrick Henry and
Justice Hill. That being said, Ali is nothing more than a dynasty stash at the moment.

5 days agoCincinnati Bengals offensive tackle Orlando Brown (knee) was upgraded to a limited participant during Tuesday's practice session. Brown suffered a knee injury in Week 8 and as a result he didn't suit up for last week's win over the Las Vegas Raiders. He didn't practice on Monday, but his return to the field on Tuesday is a good sign ahead of Thursday's matchup against the Baltimore Ravens. Brown is a key piece to both the Bengals run game and protecting the blindside of quarterback
Joe Burrow. Cody Ford figures to draw another start at left tackle if Brown is unable to play.

5 days agoCincinnati Bengals head coach Zac Taylor said that he won't rule out newly acquired running back
Khalil Herbert making his debut with the team on Thursday night against the division-rival Baltimore Ravens after being acquired from the Chicago Bears in a trade on Tuesday. Taylor said Herbert has been productive as a runner and is an able and willing pass-protector as well. Herbert should immediately become
Chase Brown's backup in Cincy with
Zack Moss (neck) done for the year. The 26-year-old won't be a recommended starting fantasy option in Week 10 if he's active in his first game with his new team, but he's certainly worth a waiver-wire pickup for any fantasy managers that need more RB depth or who need the new handcuff for Brown. Herbert saw only eight carries for 16 yards in six games with the Bears but did manage to find the end zone once.

5 days agoThe New York Jets traded wide receiver
Mike Williams to the Pittsburgh Steelers on Tuesday, meaning
Xavier Gipson, who has four catches for 23 yards on the year on seven targets, will move into the WR3 role in New York behind
Davante Adams and
Garrett Wilson with
Allen Lazard (chest) on Injured Reserve. While Gipson's role should expand in the short term, the 23-year-old probably still isn't worth a waiver-wire pickup in standard-sized, 12-team fantasy leagues. In his first NFL season in 2023, Gipson caught 21 of his 38 targets for 229 yards and no touchdowns in 17 games (three starts). Expect the Jets to utilize more two-tight end sets with
Tyler Conklin and
Jeremy Ruckert with Williams gone and Lazard still sidelined.

5 days agoBaltimore Ravens running backs
Keaton Mitchell (knee) and
Rasheen Ali (ankle) both practiced in full on Tuesday as they prepare to face the division-rival Cincinnati Bengals on Thursday Night Football In Week 10. Mitchell also practiced in full all of last week but was held out of the Week 9 win over the Denver Broncos. The 22-year-old is recovering from an ACL tear that he suffered last year but has a chance to be activated from the Physically Unable to Perform list and make his 2024 debut on Thursday. He showed explosive ability out of Baltimore's backfield in his rookie campaign before his injury in 2023, but Mitchell will most likely be eased in behind
Derrick Henry and alongside
Justice Hill against Cincy if he's active. Mitchell deserves to be stashed in fantasy leagues for his upside as Baltimore's RB2 the rest of the season.

5 days agoCincinnati Bengals wide receiver
Tee Higgins (quadriceps) was listed as a non-participant in Tuesday's practice for the second straight day this week. Higgins injured his quadriceps muscle on Oct. 25 and did not play in the Week 9 win over the Las Vegas Raiders. With a quick turnaround in Week 10 versus the division-rival Baltimore Ravens on Thursday night, it's looking like the 25-year-old will miss a second straight game unless he can return to the practice field on Wednesday. Fantasy managers should keep him on their benches for now. If Higgins misses Thursday's tilt, it will mean more opportunities for
Ja'Marr Chase,
Andrei Iosivas and
Trenton Irwin, as well as tight end
Mike Gesicki, who went for 100 yards and scored twice against the Raiders. Iosivas only caught one pass in Week 9, but it went for his fourth TD of the year.

5 days agoThe San Francisco 49ers released kicker
Anders Carlson from their practice squad on Tuesday. It's a sign that
Jake Moody (ankle), who has missed the last three games due to a sprained ankle, will be ready to return for the Week 10 contest this Sunday versus the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Fantasy managers in need of an improvement at the kicking position should be looking to add Moody if he's available on your league's waiver wire. The 26-year-old Carlson was cut by the Green Bay Packers in training camp this year after a shaky rookie season in 2023. In the two games that he filled in for Moody in San Fran, he was a perfect 5-for-5 on field-goal attempts while missing one of his four extra-point tries. Carlson will now hope to latch on with another team before the end of the 2024 season.

5 days agoBaltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said that quarterback
Lamar Jackson (back, knee) "will be playing on Thursday night" to kick off Week 10 action against the division-rival Cincinnati Bengals. Jackson was not listed on Monday's practice report but did not practice on Tuesday after dealing with back and knee injuries last week. The 27-year-old front-runner for a second straight MVP award had a perfect passer rating in the Week 9 blowout win over the Denver Broncos, going 16-for-19 for 280 yards and three touchdowns on Sunday, so his injuries didn't limit him whatsoever. In the first meeting against Cincy in an overtime win in Week 5, Jackson had a season-high 348 passing yards, four touchdowns and no interceptions while adding 12 carries for 55 yards. Fantasy managers can't be expecting that again, but the dual-threat QB will be a must-start, high-end QB1 this Thursday.

5 days agoThe Baltimore Ravens acquired two-time Pro Bowl cornerback Tre'Davious White from the Los Angeles Rams on Tuesday. It's unclear what the Rams received in return for White, who agent Kevin Conner worked closely with the Rams to find the right landing spot for his client. White hasn't played for the Rams since Week 4 as the team and his agent have been looking to trade him. The 29-year-old former first-team All-Pro selection in 2019 when he was with the Buffalo Bills has lost a step or two at this point in his career and totaled 12 tackles (nine solo) and two pass breakups in his four starts for LA earlier this year in his first and only year with the team. The veteran defensive back will now join a Ravens secondary that was really struggling before bouncing back in their Week 9 blowout win over the visiting Denver Broncos.
UPDATE: ESPN's Adam Schefter reports the Rams sent White and a seventh-round pick in 2027 to Baltimore for a seventh-rounder in 2026.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBallerSource: NFL Network - Tom Pelissero
5 days agoDespite NFL teams calling about quarterback
Bryce Young, the No. 1 overall pick last year, the Carolina Panthers will keep him, according to a source. Teams were gauging if the Panthers were already ready to give up on the top pick from 2023, and the answer for now is no. The 23-year-old had a disastrous rookie campaign and was benched this year for veteran
Andy Dalton after two poor showings to open his sophomore season. A thumb sprain for Dalton has opened the starting door back up for Young the last two weeks, and it seems likely he'll make a third straight start in Week 10 versus the New York Giants in Germany this Sunday after leading the team to their second win in Week 9 against the division-rival New Orleans Saints. Young still has lots of improvements to make and will be a low-end QB2 for fantasy managers in superflex leagues if he's starting in Europe.

5 days agoThe Las Vegas Raiders named Scott Turner as their new interim offensive coordinator on Tuesday and also named Joe Philbin as their interim offensive-line coach while adding Turner's father, Norv, as a senior offensive advisor. Scott Turner was previously the team's passing-game coordinator after joining the team last year following three years as the offensive coordinator for the Washington Commanders. He was a quarterback at UNLV in college and spent time with the Carolina Panthers, Cleveland Browns and Minnesota Vikings during his NFL playing career. Turner will now be tasked with running an offense that could be benching QB
Gardner Minshew II in favor of
Desmond Ridder as they head into their Week 10 bye. With
Jakobi Meyers as the team's WR1 as well, expect Vegas' offense to continue to struggle to move the ball consistently.

5 days agoThe Minnesota Vikings signed free-agent kicker
John Parker Romo on Tuesday, according to sources, after placing rookie
Will Reichard (quadriceps) on Injured Reserve. Romo, a former undrafted free agent that played for the New Orleans Saints, was with the Vikings in the offseason and is now on track to make his NFL debut in Week 10 against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Reichard will be required to miss at least four games, so if Parker holds his own, he could be the Vikings' kicker until Reichard is healthy enough to return. The 27-year-old Romo is a third-year kicker from Virginia Tech and went 17-for-19 on his field-goal attempts (long of 57 yards) while kicking for the San Antonio Brahmas in 2023 in the XFL. Fantasy managers will want to avoid Romo moving forward.

5 days agoBaltimore Ravens tight end
Isaiah Likely (hamstring) was not at practice on Tuesday, which represents a second straight missed practice after he was listed as a DNP on Monday's estimated practice report. After apparently getting hurt in the Week 9 blowout win over the Denver Broncos on Sunday, Likely is dealing with a hamstring injury that could keep him out of Thursday night's divisional battle against the Cincinnati Bengals. The 24-year-old will likely need to practice on Wednesday to avoid being ruled out entirely. After a 100-yard performance and a score in the season opener, Likely has failed to come anywhere close to that production since and has seen
Mark Andrews become a much bigger contributor at the position. Even if Likely returns to practice on Wednesday and is active on Thursday night, he won't be a recommended fantasy play in Week 10.
