According to NFL Insider Ian Rapoport, Washington Commanders quarterback
Jayden Daniels' MRI and medical opinions revealed positive news, as his dislocated left elbow is not as severe as initially anticipated. There was no ligament damage & he won't need surgery, and Daniels will not be immediately placed on Injured Reserve. What a sigh of relief that is for Daniel's long-term outlook and dynasty fantasy managers. Based on initial reports, this was a gruesome on-field injury where medical experts were working to stabilize his arm. While it's too quick to jump to conclusions that he will potentially be back in the 2025 season, Commanders fans and dynasty managers can feel some peace knowing there wasn't any ligament damage or what appears to be an extended absence beyond next season.
Marcus Mariota will be under center while Daniels is sidelined, and most pass-catchers such as
Terry McLaurin (quad),
Deebo Samuel Sr., and
Zach Ertz will likely see a dip in their production without Daniels running the offense.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver
Jayden Reed (collarbone, foot) has been on Injured Reserve since suffering a broken collarbone in Week 2. Reed also underwent foot surgery, so he's recovering from multiple injuries, but might be nearing a return in the next few weeks. This week, he has been spotted on the practice field with no pads, working alongside the wide receivers. From a fantasy perspective, the Packers' expansive receiver room is somewhat clustered, as there is no transparent alpha.
Romeo Doubs has led the pack with a 20.8% target share,
Matthew Golden with an 11.8% target share,
Christian Watson with a 10.8% target share, and even
Tucker Kraft (knee), who is done for the year but was breaking out in a big way, was only seeing a 16.8% target share. This pass-catching room is a messy one that will be hard to predict, and throwing Reed back into the mix in a few weeks will only make it more difficult. Reed recorded 55 catches for 857 yards and six touchdowns on 75 targets in 2024. For now, fantasy managers can continue to hold him on their IR, but temper expectations around his return, considering his return is projected to be a week or two before the fantasy playoffs start.

Arizona Cardinals' second-year running back out of Florida State,
Trey Benson (knee), missed yet another opportunity to practice on Thursday after it was reported on Wednesday by Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic that head coach Jonathan Gannon did not make it sound likely that he would return from Injured Reserve to play in Week 10 against the division-rival Seattle Seahawks. This is tough news for fantasy managers who were hoping to get him activated after the four-game minimum from the IR stint. Benson remains a top IR stash for the time being, as they likely will give him the RB1 duties upon his return. Arizona will continue to mix and match in their backfield with
Bam Knight,
Emari Demercado, and
Michael Carter. Right now, Demercado and Knight have some RB3 value while Carter is likely the odd man out based on recent usage.

Las Vegas Raiders tight end
Brock Bowers caught just one of his three targets for 31 yards during Thursday's Week 10 loss against the Denver Broncos. Just a few days removed from a spectacular three-touchdown performance, Bowers came tumbling back down to earth with the first one-catch outing of his young career. On a positive note, this week's dud was likely an anomaly, and he should bounce back in Week 11 against the Dallas Cowboys. However, that doesn't negate the fact that Bowers massively underperformed his fantasy projection this week. Managers who started Bowers are likely to enter their Week 10 matchups with an early deficit.

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver
Tre Tucker caught two of his three targets for 28 yards during Thursday's Week 10 loss against the Denver Broncos. He also had a seven-yard rush in the defeat. Tucker played 100 percent of the offensive snaps, taking on a large workload after the Raiders traded away wide receiver
Jakobi Meyers. Despite the increased usage, Tucker was still out-produced in the receiving game by
Tyler Lockett (five catches, 44 yards) and
Brock Bowers (one catch, 31 yards). The 24-year-old ranks outside the top 36 fantasy receivers heading into Week 11 against the Dallas Cowboys.

Las Vegas Raiders quarterback
Geno Smith (quad) was diagnosed with a quad contusion following Thursday's Week 10 loss against the Denver Broncos, head coach Pete Carroll told members of the media, including NFL.com's Ian Rapoport. Smith briefly exited the game early in the fourth quarter and was replaced by
Kenny Pickett, who attempted one pass. The veteran quarterback returned to the game, then left again with a "questionable" designation in the final minutes. Las Vegas did not get the ball back, and it's unclear whether Smith or Pickett would have earned snaps if the Raiders' offense returned to the field. The 35-year-old completed 16 of 26 passes for 143 yards and his league-leading 12th interception of the season. He also took six sacks. It remains to be seen whether Smith will play in Week 11. On a positive note, playing on Thursday night gives him a full 11 days to rest and recover before the Raiders return to action against Dallas.

Denver Broncos wide receiver
Pat Bryant saw two targets during Thursday's loss to the Las Vegas Raiders. He finished with one catch -- a 43-yard reception -- and was the Broncos' receiving yards leader in an underwhelming performance from the passing game. Bryant now has five catches, 103 yards, and one touchdown over his last three games. He has maintained very steady involvement in the offensive attack, logging around 50 percent of the offensive snaps in each of the last six weeks. The rookie out of Illinois doesn't have standalone fantasy value quite yet, but he is one step closer to establishing himself as the full-time No. 3 receiver behind
Courtland Sutton and
Troy Franklin. If
Marvin Mims Jr. (concussion) continues to miss time, Bryant will see more meaningful involvement.

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver
Tyler Lockett caught five of his six targets for 44 yards during Thursday's Week 10 loss against the Denver Broncos. The veteran receiver made his Raiders debut last week, but he saw just one target in that game, so Thursday's outing represented a major increase in volume for the veteran wideout. Lockett established himself as quarterback
Geno Smith's favorite target after the Raiders traded
Jakobi Meyers to the Jaguars. While Lockett doesn't represent a long-term receiving threat in Las Vegas' rebuild, he still has redraft appeal as a low-end WR3/flex, especially given his connection to Smith and head coach Pete Carroll from their time together in Seattle.

Las Vegas Raiders running back
Ashton Jeanty had 19 carries for 60 rushing yards and a touchdown during Thursday's Week 10 loss against the Denver Broncos. He also caught three of his five targets for an additional three receiving yards. The rookie was relatively inefficient on the ground and through the air, but managers should be intrigued by his high-volume role and touchdown despite the loss. He played 87 percent of the offensive snaps on Thursday Night Football, maintaining a significant workload in a slightly negative game script scenario. He should continue to be viewed as a fringe top-12 fantasy running back.

Denver Broncos rookie running back
RJ Harvey fell back down to earth as the offense struggled to produce much in Thursday's 10-7 win against their division rival, the Las Vegas Raiders. The Broncos' rookie running back rushed for nine yards on four carries while catching two of three targets for nine yards in Thursday's victory. Harvey had scored subsequently over the past three weeks, but the Broncos only produced 10 points as a unit on Thursday night. Counterpart
J.K. Dobbins has been dominating the backfield touches and continued to do so, out-touching Harvey 19-6 in this matchup. There was a red zone possession that Harvey seemed to be featured on, but with the lack of offensive scoring this week, it was hard for him to unlock his weekly scoring upside. Despite a disappointing performance on Thursday, Harvey remains a high-end FLEX play and will look to bounce back against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 11.

Denver Broncos running back
J.K. Dobbins fought through some pain in the second half as he paced the backfield with touches again, showing great patience and swift cuts in Thursday's 10-7 win against the Las Vegas Raiders in their primetime matchup. With 18 rush attempts on the night, Dobbins worked hard for his 77 yards against a Raiders defense that certainly came to play. Dobbins added one catch for seven yards on a night where quarterback
Bo Nix struggled to produce much for the offense. The veteran out-touched running back mate
RJ Harvey 19-6 is encouraging for his control in the offense, but notably, Harvey did steal a red-zone possession from Dobbins. Still looking to end the touchdown drought, Dobbins should maintain his healthy floor on a volume basis alone and is an RB2 in Week 11's matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs.

Denver Broncos wide receiver
Troy Franklin caught his fourth touchdown in four weeks in Thursday's 10-7 win over the Las Vegas Raiders. He finished with five catches for 40 yards and a touchdown in Thursday's victory. Broncos head coach Sean Payton has consistently schemed Franklin into the offense as the season has progressed, and Franklin once again paced the team in targets with nine. The 22-year-old continued to have some disappointing plays, one in particular in which he earned a target that could've been a good chunk of yardage, which bounced off his chest to become an interception in the fourth quarter. Franklin certainly rewarded those who trusted him enough as a WR3/ flex option in Week 10 lineups, and he will look to find the end zone again in next Sunday's matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs.

Denver Broncos wide receiver
Courtland Sutton continues to take a backseat to counterpart
Troy Franklin in Thursday’s 10-7 win over the Las Vegas Raiders. Sutton was actually third in line for targets and total receiving yards on the night, ending with just three catches on four targets for 24 yards, and zero touchdowns. For the record, quarterback
Bo Nix seemed to have a rough outing against the Raiders and only provided 150 passing yards and one touchdown on the night. He will continue to be on the field for most offensive plays and should have more opportunities when the offense is in a better rhythm. Sutton will look to rebound in a highly anticipated matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 11.

Denver Broncos quarterback
Bo Nix had a rough outing against their division rival, the Las Vegas Raiders, in Thursday's 10-7 win. Nix would end the night completing 16 of 28 pass attempts for only 150 passing yards, one touchdown, and two interceptions while adding five rushes for negative two yards. It was a rough showing for the passing offense as a whole, and the offense often drew boos as it stalled throughout the night. Notably, rough winds were swirling through the stadium throughout the night, but Nix still put up a disappointing performance for those who started him this week. Nix will look to bounce back against division rivals, the Kansas City Chiefs, in Week 11.

San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said on Thursday that quarterback
Brock Purdy (toe) is "getting closer to returning," according to Clayton Holloway of NFL Network. The 49ers will decide on Friday whether or not Purdy will play on Sunday against the division-rival Los Angeles Rams in Week 10. "Yeah, pretty confident we'll see him this year," Shanahan said when asked if he's confident that Purdy will play again this season. The 25-year-old was limited in practice again on Thursday. He will need to upgrade to a full practice on Friday to play this weekend for the first time since aggravating a turf-toe injury in the Week 4 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. Purdy has only played in two games in 2025, so there will certainly be a rust factor to think about in fantasy if he's able to return this Sunday against a formidable Rams defense. It seems as though the Niners are leaning toward giving
Mac Jones his eighth start of the year.
