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.

Aaron Glenn "Very Hopeful" That Garrett Wilson Will Play in Week 10
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.

Chargers Reportedly Never Discussed Trading Justin Herbert
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.

Denzel Boston Not Expected to Practice on Wednesday
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.
