Chargers Declined At Least One Trade Offer for Ladd McConkey
The Los Angeles Chargers declined a call about wide receiver Ladd McConkey's availability, according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. Sources also believe the Los Angeles Rams made the call on McConkey's status, but the Chargers said no. In six games, McConkey has hauled in 17 of 24 targets for 286 yards and one touchdown, while leaving three games early due to injury. Prior to their Week 9 matchup against the Houston Texans, McConkey dealt with back spasms during pregame warmups. Although he was listed as active, he did not play a snap in the 44-22 loss. Despite being 0-8, they have declared they are not giving up on this season, and, unfortunately for McConkey, he's not startable in most fantasy formats given the current state of the Chargers offense.

Troy Terry Likely to Make Season Debut Wednesday
Anaheim Ducks right wing Troy Terry (hip) is expected to make his season debut in Wednesday's contest against the Nashville Predators. He's started the campaign on long-term Injured Reserve after undergoing hip surgery in June. Terry has had a long road to recovery and may be rusty at first, but he can make a big fantasy contribution once he finds his rhythm. Last season, Terry averaged a career-high 0.93 points per game, finishing with 19 goals and 38 assists in 61 outings.

Cowboys Did Not Receive Any Calls on George Pickens
The Dallas Cowboys did not receive any calls about wide receiver George Pickens, according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. Fowler reported that Pickens is happy in Dallas, doesn't want to be traded, and that the team has no plans to deal him at the deadline. In 2026, Pickens has regressed from his 2025 breakout, hauling in just 39 of 62 targets for 533 yards and two touchdowns in eight games. After averaging 14.4 half-PPR fantasy points per game last season, Pickens is now averaging 10.6 points so far in 2026, which ranks 25th among wide receivers. While the Cowboys' offense has struggled for most of this season, Pickens and the offense should bounce back. Fantasy managers should consider the wideout a buy-low candidate as he looks to finish the 2026 season on a high note.

Aleksander Barkov, Brad Marchand Could Return in Two Weeks
Florida Panthers forwards Aleksander Barkov (knee) and Brad Marchand (knee) could be back in action in a couple of weeks. On Tuesday, both players skated with the team for the first time since early-season knee injuries. Their recovery is on schedule, and Panthers head coach Paul Maurice said they are expected to return "within two weeks." Lars Eller and Jack Devine will have reduced roles once Florida gets its two key forwards back. The return of Barkov and Marchand should significantly boost Florida's offense, adding fantasy appeal to everyone in the top-six group.

Deshaun Watson Will Start in Week 10
The Cleveland Browns will start quarterback Deshaun Watson (concussion) in Week 10 against the Houston Texans, according to Mary Kay Cabot. Watson suffered a concussion in Week 8's loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers, prompting second-year quarterback Shedeur Sanders to start in Week 9. Sanders completed 19 of 31 passes for 297 yards, with two touchdowns and no interceptions, and added 28 rushing yards on 10 carries. Although the Browns lost in overtime to the New Orleans Saints, speculation around the league suggested the team would roll with Sanders for the foreseeable future. However, the Browns will continue to start Watson, who has had a bounce-back season in 2026. In eight games, he has completed 163 of 249 passes for 1,806 yards, seven touchdowns, and three interceptions, while adding 217 yards and a touchdown on the ground. Fantasy managers should still view Watson as a low-end QB2, while the rest of the offense should retain their value.

Giants Called the Falcons About Acquiring Bijan Robinson
The New York Giants reportedly called the Atlanta Falcons to inquire about trading for star running back Bijan Robinson, according to ESPN's Jordan Raanan. New York was involved in trade discussions for several star players, including Jeffrey Simmons, Jonathan Taylor, and DeForest Buckner, who ultimately landed elsewhere. Although there were no reports that the Falcons made Robinson available, the Giants explored the possibility as they looked to add an elite piece to their offense. For the remainder of the 2026 season, New York will roll with second-year running back Cam Skattebo, veteran Devin Singletary, and Tyrone Tracy Jr., who is currently on injured reserve. Fantasy managers with Skattebo can breathe a sigh of relief after he survived the trade deadline, despite speculation that the Giants could bring in a star running back.

Nick Cousins "Not Doing Great" After Leaving Loss With Injury
Ottawa Senators left wing Nick Cousins (upper body) will likely miss time after being injured in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Washington Capitals. He couldn't finish the contest after taking a heavy hit from Capitals defenseman Jakob Chychrun late in the third period. "He's not doing great," Senators head coach Travis Green said about Cousins after the game. "I thought it was a head shot to a player who wasn't ready for it. They must have saw it different." Cousins started Tuesday's game on the second line, but he typically doesn't have a big role on offense, averaging 9:45 of ice time. He has posted two goals and one assist in 19 games. Sammy Blais is his likely replacement if Cousins misses time.

Quentin Grimes Listed as Questionable for Wednesday
Los Angeles Lakers guard/forward Quentin Grimes (finger) is questionable for Wednesday's matchup with the Milwaukee Bucks after missing Monday's win over Atlanta. Grimes sprained his right finger Sunday against Detroit, but X-rays came back negative, and head coach JJ Redick doesn't expect a lengthy absence. The 26-year-old is averaging 11.0 points, 3.5 rebounds, and 3.5 assists through 11 appearances, including a season-high 23 points in a spot start against the Clippers. With Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves healthy, Grimes should return to a reserve role once cleared. Collin Sexton could pick up additional backcourt minutes if Grimes sits again.

Isaiah Stewart Questionable for Wednesday Against Denver
Memphis Grizzlies forward/center Isaiah Stewart (knee) is questionable for Wednesday's matchup with the Denver Nuggets after missing the last two games with a right knee bone bruise. Stewart suffered the injury against Indiana on Nov. 4, though head coach Tuomas Iisalo said afterward that he appeared to have avoided anything major. The 25-year-old is averaging 11.9 points, 3.4 rebounds, and 0.7 blocks in 18.3 minutes while shooting 66.7% from the field. If Stewart remains out, Taylor Hendricks and GG Jackson II could pick up more frontcourt minutes, especially with Quinten Post (concussion) unavailable as well.

Devin Vassell Questionable Against Bulls
San Antonio Spurs guard/forward Devin Vassell (groin) is questionable for Wednesday's matchup with the Chicago Bulls due to left adductor tightness. Vassell missed Monday's win over Phoenix, marking his first absence of the season after appearing in San Antonio's first 10 games. The 26-year-old is averaging 11.9 points, 3.8 rebounds, 3.1 assists, 1.7 steals, and 1.6 threes per game. Julian Champagnie started in his place Monday and could remain with the first unit if Vassell sits again, especially with Tobias Harris (calf) still sidelined.

Austin Reaves Off the Injury Report for Wednesday
Los Angeles Lakers guard/forward Austin Reaves (illness) is off the injury report for Wednesday's matchup with the Milwaukee Bucks after missing Monday's win over Atlanta. Reaves was sidelined for the first time this season after dropping a season-high 43 points against Detroit a night earlier. The 28-year-old is averaging 25.3 points, 4.6 assists, and 3.4 rebounds while shooting 50.8% through 11 appearances. His return should send Ziaire Williams back to the bench, while Quentin Grimes (finger) remains questionable and could leave additional perimeter minutes available.

Norman Powell Iffy for Wednesday
Chicago Bulls guard/forward Norman Powell (back) is questionable for Wednesday's matchup with the San Antonio Spurs due to low back spasms. Powell missed Sunday's loss to Philadelphia with right shoulder inflammation, putting him in danger of sitting for a second straight game with a different issue. The 33-year-old is averaging 19.3 points, 2.5 rebounds, and 1.6 assists through eight appearances, though he's shooting just 39.8% from the field. Isaac Okoro started in his place Sunday and scored 12 points on 4-for-5 shooting, while Jordan Hawkins could also pick up extra backcourt minutes if Powell remains out.

Precious Achiuwa Exits with Lower-Leg Injury
Sacramento Kings forward/center Precious Achiuwa (lower leg) was ruled out of Tuesday's loss to the Orlando Magic after suffering a left lower-leg contusion. Achiuwa exited in the third quarter after recording 10 points, three rebounds, and one steal in 14 minutes. The 27-year-old is averaging 10.4 points, 6.4 rebounds, 1.7 steals, and 1.5 blocks through 11 games, giving him useful defensive production. Dylan Cardwell picked up extra minutes after Achiuwa went down, while Keegan Murray could also take on a larger frontcourt role if Achiuwa isn't ready for Friday's matchup with Portland.

Domantas Sabonis (knee) Out; Keegan Murray Unavailable

Murray still doesn't seem 100% from his ankle injury and Sabonis missed last night with knee soreness. Wonder if either are playing a factor.
