Tyler Higbee Downgraded To Out
Jan 13, 2025, 10:15 PM ET
Per Adam Grosbard of the team, Los Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee (chest) has officially been ruled out for Monday's Wild Card matchup with the Minnesota Vikings. Higbee exited the game early in the second quarter and was initially ruled doubtful about returning. However, he was not well enough to do so after halftime. The former fourth-round pick looked to be on his way to a massive day -- nabbing all five of his targets for 58 yards through the first quarter and change. At the time he was forced from the contest, the 32-year-old led the team in receptions and yards while tying Puka Nacua for the team lead in targets.--Alex CiullaSource: Los Angeles RamsComments · Join ChatOpen App

Alec Pierce Still in Rehab Process, No Timetable for a Return
Keith Hernandez
Nov 11, 2026, 12:46 PM ET
Indianapolis Colts head coach Shane Steichen did not have a positive update on wide receiver Alec Pierce (heel) on Wednesday when he was asked about his chance to return in 2026, according to James Boyd of The Athletic. "We'll see. Like I said last week, he's still in that rehab process, and I'm not going to put a timetable on return," Steichen said. Pierce has been sidelined since Sept. 26 after aggravating his surgically repaired heel, and fantasy managers who have been stashing him in an Injured Reserve spot are beginning to wonder if he will be able to return this year. At 2-7 through the first nine weeks of the season, the Colts have no reason to rush Pierce back, even after trading both Keenan Allen and Josh Downs at Tuesday's deadline. With Pierce still on IR and Allen and Downs out of town, the Colts will go into their Week 10 game against the Miami Dolphins with Laquon Treadwell, Ashton Dulin, and Anthony Gould as their presumed top three receivers. Pierce had his first 1,000-yard season in 2025 in his fourth year in the NFL, and he led the league in yards per reception in each of the last two years, but the 2026 campaign is shaping up to be a lost one for the big-play wideout.--Keith HernandezSource: The Athletic - James Boyd
Titans Value Tony Pollard for QB's Long-Term Development
Keith Hernandez
Nov 11, 2026, 12:38 PM ET
Tennessee Titans general manager Mike Borgonzi agreed with the sentiment that running back Tony Pollard is important for second-year quarterback Cam Ward's growth and development when he was asked about why the team did not trade Pollard at Tuesday's deadline, according to Ben Arthur of FOX Sports. Pollard definitely drew interest around the league because he is still on the right side of 30 and is on an expiring contract on a Titans team that is 1-7 through the first nine weeks of the 2026 season. The former fourth-rounder from Memphis in 2019 has not been much of a pass-catcher (14 catches for 70 yards) this year, but on the ground, he has been one of the more quietly consistent RBs in the league, especially in the last five weeks. Pollard has carried the ball 133 times for 595 yards (4.5 yards per carry) and six rushing touchdowns in eight games played. He is well on his way to setting a new career high in rushing TDs if he can stay healthy in the second half. In the last five weeks, Pollard ranks as the RB8 in half-PPR scoring with 374 rushing yards and five touchdowns. Now that he is staying in Tennessee for the rest of the 2026 season, the Titans could consider signing Pollard to a contract extension before free agency in March.--Keith HernandezSource: FOX Sports - Ben Arthur

Omar Cooper Jr. Will be "Just Fine"
Keith Hernandez
Nov 11, 2026, 12:28 PM ET
New York Jets rookie first-round wide receiver Omar Cooper Jr. (ankle) will be "just fine," head coach Aaron Glenn told SNY's Connor Hughes. Cooper suffered an ankle injury in his NFL debut in Week 1 and did not return until Week 6 against the New England Patriots, when he exploded for six catches, 103 yards, and his first career touchdown reception on seven targets. Cooper also had a 100-yard game with a touchdown the following week in the loss to the Miami Dolphins before not being targeted at all in the Week 8 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders. Glenn may say that the 22-year-old is fine for this weekend's divisional clash against the Buffalo Bills, but fantasy managers will want to keep a close eye on his practice status this week. Another factor going into the 30th overall pick's Week 10 value will be the potential return of WR1 Garrett Wilson, who missed last week's loss to the Kansas City Chiefs due to a concussion. If Cooper is not 100% and Wilson returns, he will be a volatile boom/bust flex play for fantasy managers, even in a plus matchup against Buffalo's secondary.--Keith HernandezSource: SNY - Connor Hughes

Aaron Glenn "Very Hopeful" That Garrett Wilson Will Play in Week 10
Keith Hernandez
Nov 11, 2026, 12:20 PM ET
New York Jets head coach Aaron Glenn said he is "very hopeful" that wide receiver Garrett Wilson (concussion) will play in Week 10 against the division-rival Buffalo Bills, according to Connor Hughes of SNY. The Jets should get their WR1 back for the contest against Buffalo after he sat out of Sunday's Week 9 blowout loss in Kansas City to the Chiefs. New York's offense struggled to move the ball effectively in a hostile environment without their top receiver last weekend. If the 26-year-old can clear the league's concussion protocol this week, fantasy managers should be throwing him back into their starting lineups against a Bills secondary that has had its issues this year defending the pass. Through eight games played in 2026, Wilson has caught 43 passes for 527 yards and three touchdowns as quarterback Geno Smith's go-to target. Wilson's return would be bad news for any fantasy managers considering using either Adonai Mitchell or rookie first-rounder Omar Cooper Jr. in their lineups in Week 10. In the Week 8 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders, Cooper did not catch any passes, while Mitchell put up a donut for his fantasy managers without Wilson in the fold on Sunday in Kansas City. Both WRs will be volatile if Wilson returns from his concussion.--Keith HernandezSource: SNY - Connor Hughes

Chargers Reportedly Never Discussed Trading Justin Herbert
Bruno Mulé
Nov 11, 2026, 12:14 PM ET
Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert has never been discussed internally as a trade candidate, Tom Pelissero said, as reported by Alex Insdorf. Minnesota asked about Herbert before Tuesday's deadline, and Los Angeles quickly shut down the inquiry, Jordan Schultz reported. A Chargers source gave Adam Schefter a similar account in October, saying the club had never discussed moving Herbert. His contract includes a no-trade clause, and his 2027 salary became fully guaranteed in March. Herbert remains first on the Chargers' unofficial depth chart and projects as a low-end QB2 in Superflex leagues for Monday night's game at Baltimore. Against Houston, Quentin Johnston turned a slant from Herbert into a 58-yard touchdown, ending a stretch of 37 Chargers possessions without a touchdown. Herbert also found Keandre Lambert-Smith for 50 yards on fourth-and-one, and those two throws accounted for 108 of his 193 passing yards. Baltimore has allowed 26 completions of at least 20 yards through nine games, giving Herbert a chance at similar gains if his offensive line holds up.--Bruno MuléSource: Alex Insdorf
Denzel Boston Expected to Return to Practice on Thursday

Nov 11, 2026, 12:56 PM ET
Updating a previous report, Cleveland Browns head coach Todd Monken expects rookie wide receiver Denzel Boston (toe) to return to the practice field on Thursday, according to Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN. Boston is not expected to practice on Wednesday in the team's first session of the week, but the 22-year-old's toe injury does not appear to be serious enough to sideline him this weekend against the Houston Texans. The second-rounder out of the University of Washington caught six of his seven targets for a season-high 98 yards in Sunday's overtime loss to the New Orleans Saints in second-year quarterback Shedeur Sanders' first start of the season in place of Deshaun Watson (concussion). Boston has had a strong showing so far in his first nine NFL games, catching 32 of his 61 targets for 507 yards and three touchdowns, but he has not found the end zone since the Oct. 11 loss to the New York Jets, and his fantasy value could take a hit in Week 10 against the Texans with Watson returning to the starting role for the Browns. As long as Boston is active this weekend, he should be on the WR2/3 borderline in fantasy.--Keith HernandezSource: ESPN.com - Daniel Oyefusi
Denzel Boston Not Expected to Practice on Wednesday
Keith Hernandez
Nov 11, 2026, 12:13 PM ET
Cleveland Browns rookie wide receiver Denzel Boston (toe) is not expected to participate in the team's first practice of the week on Wednesday, according to Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN. A DNP in the first practice of the week is notable with a new injury for the first-year receiver, but the 22-year-old still has two more days to get back on the practice field. We will keep a close eye on Boston's status over the next couple of days. If he is unable to play this weekend against the Houston Texans, fellow rookie pass-catcher KC Concepcion Jr. would essentially become a must-play flex option in fantasy lineups, with veteran Jerry Jeudy also becoming more intriguing as a deep-league flex. Boston caught six of his seven targets for 98 yards in Sunday's overtime loss to the New Orleans Saints in Week 9, and he now has a 32-507-3 line in the first nine games of his NFL career. The 98 yards he had on Sunday were a new season high, but Boston has not found the end zone since Oct. 11, and he has only one game with double-digit targets so far. The Browns' move back to quarterback Deshaun Watson (concussion) this weekend probably hurts Boston's short-term value.--Keith HernandezSource: ESPN.com - Daniel Oyefusi
Jerry Jeudy's Fantasy Value Continues to Plummet in Cleveland
Nicho Roessler
Nov 11, 2026, 12:04 PM ET
Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jerry Jeudy's stock has fallen significantly in 2026 with the additions of rookies Denzel Boston and K.C. Concepcion Jr. Jeudy has seen his target share drop to 8.9 percent on the season, and while he runs 27.7 routes per game, he only sees 2.8 targets per game and ranks 103rd out of 114 in yards per route run. Jeudy, who is now in his seventh NFL season, appears to have lost most, if not all, of his fantasy value after finishing as the WR15 in 2024 and seeing over 100 targets in 2025. Considering Jeudy did not get traded at the deadline and his current role with the Browns is diminishing, Jeudy can be dropped in all redraft formats and is likely one of the last few people on your roster in dynasty formats, but even then, his value is plummeting, so if needed, fantasy managers could drop him.--Nicho RoesslerSource: RotoBaller
Anthony Gould Expected to Take Over Colts' Slot Role
Bruno Mulé
Nov 11, 2026, 12:00 PM ET
Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Anthony Gould is expected to take over in the slot after Tuesday's trade sent Josh Downs to the Kansas City Chiefs. Stephen Holder reported that head coach Shane Steichen plans to use Gould in that role and give rookie Deion Burks more playing time. The Colts listed Gould behind Downs on their unofficial Week 9 depth chart and moved him into Downs' spot for Week 10. Downs played 49 offensive snaps against Dallas on Sunday. Gould played one, catching a 16-yard pass on his first target of the season. Burks played 17 offensive snaps against Dallas and has six catches for 60 yards this season. In deeper PPR leagues, Gould is worth tracking against Miami on Sunday, when his route count will give a first look at his new workload. Downs and Keenan Allen, whom the Colts traded to San Francisco, accounted for 115 of Indianapolis' 287 targets through Week 9. Tight end Tyler Warren leads the remaining Colts with 53 targets despite missing two games.--Bruno MuléSource: Stephen Holder
Tyler Shough's Fantasy Success Comes With Some Red Flags
Nicho Roessler
Nov 11, 2026, 11:54 AM ET
New Orleans Saints quarterback Tyler Shough has thrived this season on pure volume and opportunity rather than efficiency and playing great football. This season, Shough is second in the NFL in dropbacks per game, however 18th in expected points added per dropback. While volume remains king in fantasy, it does set up a higher-risk, higher-reward player to put into your lineup any given week. Additionally, the Saints have now played in two overtime games this season, giving them two additional quarters to build volume. All this to say, Shough is the QB9 in fantasy points per game this season and should remain a staple in your lineup, but fantasy managers may want to proactively plan for a backup if volume dips and efficiency doesn't improve.--Nicho RoesslerSource: RotoBaller
Colts Coach Unaware of Any Keenan Allen Trade Request
Bruno Mulé
Nov 11, 2026, 11:47 AM ET
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Keenan Allen was traded by the Indianapolis Colts on Tuesday for a 2027 sixth-round pick. Asked whether Allen requested the move, Colts head coach Shane Steichen said, "No, not that I'm aware of," according to James Boyd. Allen signed with Indianapolis in August, reuniting with Steichen after seven seasons together with the Chargers. Allen cited that familiarity when he joined the Colts. He caught 40 of 58 targets for 351 yards and one touchdown in eight games with Indianapolis, including 31 catches for 230 yards on passes thrown fewer than 10 yards downfield. Allen finished his Colts stint with four catches for 26 yards on eight targets against Dallas, the same opponent San Francisco visits Sunday. San Francisco head coach Kyle Shanahan said Monday that he did not expect Mike Evans to be ready this week and that Deebo Samuel Sr. was expected to return to practice Wednesday. Allen's work underneath gives Brock Purdy another short-area option while the 49ers wait for their receivers to get healthy.--Bruno MuléSource: James Boyd
Darnell Mooney's Fantasy Value Has Hit Rock Bottom
Nicho Roessler
Nov 11, 2026, 11:46 AM ET
New York Giants wide receiver Darnell Mooney has had a pretty quiet season after back-to-back seasons with 70-plus targets in Atlanta. In his first nine weeks with the Giants, he has earned 29 targets, hauled in 12 for 167 yards, and has no touchdowns. With the rise of rookie Malachi Fields over the past few weeks, who has seen his snap share increase to over 70 percent in each of the past four games, and the breakout of Isaiah Likely, to go along with superstar Malik Nabers getting most of the attention and targets, Mooney has seen his value tumble even more than it was earlier in the season. This season, he is now the WR100 and should be dropped in all formats; at 29 years old, he doesn't have much value even in fantasy. Fantasy managers should look elsewhere for wide receiver depth.--Nicho RoesslerSource: RotoBaller
