Keegan Murray Available For Tuesday's Matchup With Magic
Sacramento Kings forward Keegan Murray (wrist) is available for Tuesday's matchup against the Orlando Magic despite dealing with right wrist soreness. Murray returned Sunday from a seven-game absence due to left ankle capsulitis, coming off the bench against Miami to record 10 points, two assists, two steals, and one block across 23 minutes. The 26-year-old is still searching for his shooting touch, going 0-for-10 from three-point range through three games this campaign. Precious Achiuwa could see additional frontcourt minutes if Murray experiences any setbacks.

Titans Keeping Tony Pollard Despite Trade Interest
The Tennessee Titans will keep running back Tony Pollard through the trade deadline, per ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. The 29-year-old Pollard is currently playing out the final year of his contract with the one-win Titans, leading to speculation that he could be on the move to a contender. Instead, it appears as though the veteran running back will remain with Tennessee to finish out the 2026 season. Pollard has been productive this season, recording 665 yards from scrimmage and six touchdowns on 147 touches across eight games. He's played his best football lately, collecting 292 scrimmage yards and five touchdowns on 52 touches over his last two games. Still, Pollard's fantasy outlook would have been improved with a move to a more potent scoring offense, assuming he had retained a lead backfield role.

Kevin Jennings Still Worth Starting Despite Tough Week 11 Matchup
SMU quarterback Kevin Jennings has a very tough test ahead against Wake Forest in Week 11, but based on what he's done this season, he's still a valuable starting option. Jennings has completed 73.9% of his passes for 25 touchdowns and 2,764 yards so far, while tossing six interceptions. He has 132 rushing yards and two more touchdowns across 61 total attempts. Jennings has multiple TD passes in six straight games, and he's got just one INT over that stretch. He's been at or over 350 passing yards in back-to-back games, so he's a hot fantasy asset right now. Wake Forest will test him, as the Demon Deacons are allowing 310 total yards and 15.9 points per game, but based on what he's done this season and of late, Jennings is still one to confidently start in a lot of leagues in Week 11.

Malik Willis Expected to Land on Injured Reserve
Miami Dolphins quarterback Malik Willis (groin) is expected to go on injured reserve, according to Tom Pelissero, who reported that an MRI showed his groin injury had developed into a core muscle injury. Willis needs rest and could still return this season, Pelissero reported. If Miami makes the move this week, Willis would miss at least four games and first be eligible to return against Chicago in Week 14. Willis practiced in full Friday before completing 13 of 25 passes for 128 yards with an interception in Sunday's loss to Detroit. Head coach Jeff Hafley said Monday that Willis lacked his usual speed when escaping pressure. Willis has run for nine yards on three carries over his past two games after rushing for 37 yards and a touchdown against the Jets in Week 7. Kyle McCord is Miami's only other quarterback on the active roster and would be in line to start Sunday at Indianapolis. McCord has yet to attempt a regular-season pass this year, and Brady Cook is on the practice squad.

Kyler Murray Considered Week-to-Week
Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kyler Murray (hamstring) is currently dealing with a Grade 2 hamstring strain that is week-to-week, and he is expected to miss more time past the Monday night loss to the Buffalo Bills, according to James Palmer. The Vikings pulled off a blockbuster trade on Tuesday to acquire veteran QB Kirk Cousins from the Las Vegas Raiders, and with Cousins coming in on a Tuesday, he could possibly make his return to the Vikings this Sunday to take on the division-rival Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field. The 29-year-old Murray has missed time with injuries in his first year in Minnesota, and when he has been active, he has struggled to pick up head coach Kevin O'Connell's offense, completing 64.9% of his pass attempts for 1,022 yards (6.6 yards per attempt), five touchdowns, and three interceptions in six starts. With Cousins now back in Minnesota, Murray will now be the Vikings' QB2 in a backup role, which kills what little superflex fantasy value he had left. The Vikings do not want to have to turn back to Carson Wentz this Sunday against Green Bay, so they will do everything in their power to get Cousins up to speed to play in Week 10.

Amare Thomas Hopes to Keep Delivering in Week 11
Houston wide receiver Amare Thomas has put together three really solid showings in a row, and now he'll look to make it four straight as he takes on Colorado in Week 11. He had 126 yards and two scores over seven receptions against Oklahoma State in Week 7. Thomas then had 133 yards over five receptions against Utah in Week 8, then posted 78 yards and two touchdowns on six grabs against Cincinnati in Week 10. Thomas is up to 698 yards and eight touchdowns across 47 receptions in his nine games played so far. The Buffaloes' defense allows 376.9 total yards and 28.3 points per game on the season, so the matchup is also pretty solid for Thomas, who is a quality starting option for any fantasy league.

Domantas Sabonis Available For Tuesday
Sacramento Kings forward/center Domantas Sabonis (knee) has been upgraded to available for Tuesday's matchup against the Orlando Magic. Sabonis will return after missing Sunday's loss to Miami due to left knee soreness. The 30-year-old is averaging 15.3 points, 14.6 rebounds, and 6.0 assists through nine games. Precious Achiuwa grabbed 14 rebounds in 36 minutes Sunday, while Dylan Cardwell started at center. Both could see reduced roles with Sabonis back in action.

Falcons Considered an Extension for Jessie Bates III Before Trade
The Atlanta Falcons did background work on a potential contract extension for defensive back Jessie Bates III and pondered how it may fit into a rough outline of 2027 free-agent plans, according to Daniel Flick of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. However, the Falcons felt that the Jacksonville Jaguars' offer made them better in the long run. Atlanta ended up sending Bates to the Jaguars on Monday for a second-rounder in 2027 and a fifth-rounder in 2028, which is a quality return for a 29-year-old safety who was on an expiring deal. Bates will be a nice addition for Jacksonville, which recently lost defensive back Eric Murray to a season-ending elbow injury. Bates, a former second-rounder by the Cincinnati Bengals in 2018 from Wake Forest, heads to Duval after recording 60 tackles (35 solo), one interception, four pass breakups, three forced fumbles, and a fumble recovery returned for a touchdown in nine games in 2026 in his fourth year with the Falcons.

DeSean Bishop Remains Quality Fantasy Starting Option for Week 11
Tennessee running back DeSean Bishop has put together a big season so far and will look to keep things rolling in Week 11 against Texas A&M. The Aggies allow 18.7 points and 320 total yards per game, but 129.9 of the yards are on the ground, so Bishop is actually set up pretty well. Bishop already has 1,066 rushing yards and 13 touchdowns over 196 attempts, plus has caught nine passes for 64 more yards. The RB has 19 or more carries in five straight games, and he's racked up nine touchdowns over that stretch. Bishop has 109 or more yards in five straight games, so he's a really good starting option every week. Fantasy owners should keep trusting him to get the job done in Week 11.

Chiefs Acquire Josh Downs in Deadline Trade
Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Josh Downs is set to join the Kansas City Chiefs in a deadline trade, according to Tom Pelissero. Indianapolis would send a 2027 seventh-round pick with Downs and receive fourth- and fifth-round picks in the same draft. Downs requested a trade in October and caught 33 passes for 354 yards and a touchdown in nine games this season. His season-high seven catches came against Kansas City in Week 2, when he finished with 72 yards. Downs has primarily played in the slot, and Kansas City has been rotating its third receiver behind Rashee Rice and Xavier Worthy. Andrew Armstrong, Jalen Royals and Cyrus Allen played between 19 and 22 offensive snaps apiece in Sunday's win over the Jets. They drew three targets combined, while Rice and Worthy drew 13. Downs saw 23 targets in his last four games with the Colts. In deeper PPR leagues, he's worth stashing until his first games in Kansas City show whether he can earn regular routes alongside Rice and Worthy in three-receiver sets.

D.J. Lagway a Solid Starting Option Despite Tough Week 11 Matchup
Baylor quarterback D.J. Lagway has played pretty well of late, but now will face a stiff test in Week 11 against BYU. The Cougars are allowing just 302.2 total yards and 19.8 points per game so far this season, so they will challenge Lagway. The quarterback has 1,900 passing yards and 15 touchdowns across seven games played this season. He's completed 53.7% of his passes and has four interceptions. Lagway is a dual-threat QB, tallying 161 yards and two scores over 50 attempts. He has six touchdown passes over his past two games combined, plus rushed for 119 yards and a score in Week 10, which shows off some of his fantasy appeal. His fantasy upside offsets his tougher matchup a bit and gives him starting appeal in all leagues.

Zion Williamson Set to Suit Up on Tuesday
New Orleans Pelicans forward Zion Williamson (rest) is available for Tuesday's game against the Brooklyn Nets after resting during Monday's 138-87 loss to Golden State. The 26-year-old has missed just one game this season, averaging 21.0 points, 5.3 rebounds, 2.7 assists, and 2.2 steals in 33.0 minutes through 10 appearances. With Williamson returning, Herbert Jones will likely see fewer minutes.

Terrance Carter Jr. a Solid Week 11 Starting Option
Texas Tech tight end Terrance Carter Jr. is a pretty solid fantasy starting option for his Week 11 contest against Oklahoma State. Carter has 274 receiving yards and four touchdowns across 24 receptions in his seven games played so far. He also has three rushing yards and a score on three attempts. Carter has three or more receptions in three straight contests, and he's scored three touchdowns over the past two games. He's coming off a season-high 81 yards against West Virginia in Week 10, so he's on the rise. Oklahoma State allows 384 total yards and 27.2 points per game on the season, so the matchup is pretty solid for the tight end as well. Carter remains a starting option in all leagues, but a more confident option in deeper setups.

Jauan Jennings Hopeful to Play in Week 10
Agent Drew Rosenhaus said on The Pat McAfee Show that Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jauan Jennings (calf) is dealing with a calf strain but is hopeful to return in Week 10 against the division-rival Green Bay Packers. Rosenhaus added that Jennings seems very happy in Minnesota and that it is his belief that he will stay with the Vikings beyond Tuesday's NFL trade deadline. Jennings reportedly turned down a potential trade that was being worked out for the 49ers to reacquire him. Instead, the Niners pivoted and acquired veteran pass-catcher Keenan Allen from the Indianapolis Colts on Tuesday. The 29-year-old has been a non-factor in the Vikings' offense through his six games played so far in 2026, catching only six passes for 54 yards and no touchdowns. However, the addition of veteran quarterback Kirk Cousins should be good news for Jennings, Justin Jefferson, and Jordan Addison in the second half of the season. Target volume is still going to be an issue when Jennings returns in Minnesota, though, and he will probably continue to be a hard-to-trust WR4/5 in fantasy.

Yamir Knight Looks to Keep Delivering in Tougher Week 11 Test
SMU wide receiver Yamir Knight has delivered big over the past two weeks, but he heads into a tougher Week 11 matchup against Wake Forest. The Demon Deacons are allowing 310 total yards and 15.9 points per game this season, so this will be a bit of a stiffer challenge for Knight. The wide receiver went for 103 yards and three touchdowns across six receptions in Week 10 against Virginia Tech - he also had two rushes for 11 yards in that contest. Knight had 80 yards and a score across six grabs in Week 9 against Syracuse, so he's a receiver on the rise. He has 626 receiving yards and six scores on 50 receptions overall this season, plus has rushed for four yards on three attempts. Knight is a pretty solid fantasy starting option, but expectations need to be tempered a bit going into a tougher test.
