De'Von Achane has Knee Surgery, Recovery Progressing Well
Miami Dolphins head coach Jeff Hafley confirmed that running back De'Von Achane (knee) underwent knee surgery, and his recovery is progressing well, according to Alain Poupart of Sports Illustrated. Achane tore the ACL in his left knee in the Week 3 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs and was placed on season-ending Injured Reserve. It was a tough break for a Dolphins offense light on experienced and explosive weapons for new quarterback Malik Willis (groin), who is now on IR himself. Because the 25-year-old Achane's knee injury came early in the year, barring a setback in his lengthy and grueling rehab, he should have a chance to be ready to go for the start of the 2027 regular season next fall. With Achane out for the year in 2026, Ollie Gordon II has taken over as Miami's clear lead back, and the 22-year-old has been a nice waiver-wire pickup for fantasy managers, carrying the ball 107 times for 463 yards (4.3 yards per carry) and four rushing touchdowns in eight games played. He has added seven receptions on 10 targets for 23 yards through the air in his second season in the NFL. However, with Willis now out for at least four games, Gordon is expected to see more stacked boxes with Kyle McCord taking over for the Dolphins under center. The good news is Gordon should still be on the RB1/2 borderline for a strong Week 10 matchup against the Indianapolis Colts.

Tyjae Spears Not Practicing Wednesday
Tennessee Titans running back Tyjae Spears (knee) will not practice Wednesday, according to ESPN's Turron Davenport. Spears has not played since the team's Week 6 win over the Colts, missing two games with a knee injury before Tennessee's Week 9 bye. While he has totaled only 141 yards on his 35 opportunities in 2026, the fourth-year back became a popular stash with teammate Tony Pollard's name surfacing ahead of the NFL's annual trade deadline. With the deadline now come and gone and Pollard still rostered by the Titans, Spears can be comfortably dropped in any league without an IR spot.

Carnell Tate Not Practicing Wednesday
Tennessee Titans wide receiver Carnell Tate (shoulder) will not practice Wednesday, according to ESPN's Turron Davenport. The first-round rookie missed the team's Week 8 loss to the Bengals with a shoulder injury before Tennessee went on bye in Week 9. Prior to the injury, Tate had reached 69 receiving yards in three of his last four contests, scoring once and playing as the fantasy WR21 over that stretch. While a missed practice coming out of the bye is never an encouraging sign, Tate will have two more opportunities to rejoin his teammates on the practice field ahead of a divisional matchup with the Jacksonville Jaguars. With Jacksonville using the trade deadline to improve upon what has already been one of the league's best defenses and Tate facing a potential pitch count upon his return, fantasy managers should be looking for other options even if the rookie is able to suit up on Sunday.

Josh Jacobs Could Return in 2-3 Weeks
Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs (finger), who will have surgery later this week on his broken ring finger, could return as quickly as two to three weeks, sources told Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network. The Packers will decide on Saturday if placing Jacobs on Injured Reserve is necessary, but it is not guaranteed. He will miss the Week 10 divisional showdown at home against the Minnesota Vikings this Sunday before the team's Week 11 bye. After that, Jacobs will have a shot to return in Week 12 on Wednesday, Nov. 25, on the road against the Los Angeles Rams. If the Packers find out after Jacobs' surgery that he needs to go on IR, the star RB would miss at least four games and would not be eligible to return until Dec. 20 at home against the Miami Dolphins. The Packers' bye comes at a good time with respect to Jacobs, who fractured his finger on a stiff-arm in Sunday's Week 9 win over the New England Patriots. With MarShawn Lloyd sitting out last weekend with a knee injury, Kaleb Johnson served as the team's lead back following Jacobs' injury and saw 14 carries for 68 yards and a touchdown. If Lloyd misses Sunday's game against Minnesota, Johnson will be in play as an RB3/flex option for fantasy managers against one of the best defenses in the NFL. Jacobs needs to be stashed in all leagues while he recovers.

Panthers Open Practice Window for Jonathon Brooks
The Carolina Panthers have opened the 21-day practice window for running back Jonathon Brooks (abdomen). The former second-round pick has not played since aggravating an existing groin strain in the team's Week 2 win over the Falcons, leading to core muscle surgery and his current stint on Injured Reserve. Brooks began the year in a change-of-pace role behind veteran Chuba Hubbard, who has since played as the fantasy RB10 in his six games as the Panthers' bell cow. Although he is now on track to return for the fantasy playoffs, Brooks should be viewed as little more than a stashable backup, unlikely to see enough standalone work to warrant a start, but he would see his value rise in the event of an injury ahead of him.

Denzel Boston Expected to Return to Practice on Thursday
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.

Alec Pierce Still in Rehab Process, No Timetable for a Return
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.

Titans Value Tony Pollard for QB's Long-Term Development
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.

Omar Cooper Jr. Will be "Just Fine"
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.
