49ers Don't Release Brandon Aiyuk on Tuesday
The San Francisco 49ers did not release wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk on Tuesday, according to David Lombardi of The San Francisco Standard. Reports suggested that the 49ers were likely to release Aiyuk on Tuesday, but that did not end up happening. Aiyuk does not count for a roster spot during his two-week unpaid roster exemption after the league reinstated him from the left-squad list this week. The former first-rounder's roster exemption will expire on Monday, Nov. 23, after the team's Week 11 game against the Minnesota Vikings in Mexico City. He has been on the 49ers' left-squad list since last December, but he got the ball moving recently by hiring agent Drew Rosenhaus as he looks to play football in 2026. After tearing the ACL, MCL, and meniscus in his right knee in October of 2024 (he missed all of last year), Aiyuk said he is "feeling great." San Francisco has three options: release Aiyuk, trade him, or keep him. Keeping him is out of the question, with the most likely scenario coming in the form of his release. The trade option is now out of the window after the deadline passed on Tuesday. Before getting hurt in 2024, Aiyuk had two straight 1,000-yard seasons with the 49ers, but he remains a long shot to return to fantasy relevance in the second half of the 2026 season.

Panthers Expect Jonathon Brooks Back From IR Soon
Carolina Panthers head coach Dave Canales made it sound like running back Jonathon Brooks (abdomen) was getting close to a return from Injured Reserve, according to Mike Kaye of ESPN. The Panthers are currently deciding whether they will open the 21-day practice window for Brooks this week. If the 23-year-old gets back on the practice field this week, he could be activated from IR and play in Week 10 against the division-rival New Orleans Saints. Brooks has not played since Week 2 due to a core-muscle injury, but when he returns, he will be back in the team's RB2 role as a change-of-pace complement to starter Chuba Hubbard. Brooks was seen working off to the side in one of the team's unofficial practices last week, so he is definitely getting closer to a return. Due to two torn ACLs, Brooks has only appeared in five games since entering the league in 2024, and he has played in just two games in 2026, carrying the football nine times for 30 yards while catching two passes for 43 yards. He is a speculative RB handcuff stash going into Week 10 action. Brooks is rostered in 37% of Yahoo leagues.

Gardner Minshew II Placed on Injured Reserve
The Arizona Cardinals placed veteran quarterback Gardner Minshew II (elbow) on Injured Reserve on Tuesday, according to Darren Urban of the team's official website. Minshew has not officially been ruled out for the rest of the 2026 season, but the Cardinals fear that he suffered a torn UCL in his right elbow in Sunday's Week 9 loss to the division-rival Seattle Seahawks. The Cardinals recently traded former starting QB Jacoby Brissett to the Baltimore Ravens, so things are lining up for rookie Carson Beck to make his NFL debut in a starting role in a Week 10 divisional matchup against the Los Angeles Rams. At the very least, the 30-year-old Minshew will miss at least the next four games after being placed on IR. In just two games played for the Cardinals (one start), Minshew went 38-for-53 passing for 354 yards, three touchdowns, and no interceptions. Although he went 21-for-30 on Sunday in Seattle, he threw for only 166 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions. Even if Minshew can somehow return later this season, he would most likely return to a backup role behind Beck as Arizona assesses their future at the position.

Cowboys to Sign Kendre Miller to Their Practice Squad
The Dallas Cowboys are expected to sign free-agent running back Kendre Miller to their practice squad on Tuesday, a source told Joseph Hoyt of The Dallas Morning News. The Cowboys had Miller in for a visit on Tuesday as they search for RB depth behind starter Javonte Williams with Tyler Goodson (knee) expected to miss multiple weeks with a knee injury that he suffered in Sunday's Week 9 win over the Indianapolis Colts. Outside of a 20-carry, 70-yard rushing performance on Oct. 18 against the New York Giants with Travis Etienne Jr. (hamstring) on Injured Reserve, Miller did very little for the New Orleans Saints before they recently cut him. He had 57 rushing attempts for 159 yards (2.8 yards per carry) and two touchdowns in six games played, adding nine catches on 13 targets for 37 yards in the passing game. The former third-rounder from TCU in 2023 has yet to break the 200-yard rushing mark since entering the league, and he will serve as a short-term fantasy handcuff in Dallas for fantasy managers who have Williams rostered.

Rams Place Jordan Whittington on Injured Reserve
The Los Angeles Rams have placed wide receiver Jordan Whittington (back) on Injured Reserve, per Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston. Whittington has barely been utilized in the Rams' offense so far this season, recording two catches for 12 yards on four targets across eight games. However, Los Angeles is hurting for wide receiver talent, with Davante Adams (hamstring) already on Injured Reserve and Puka Nacua (knee, toe) likely to join him. With Whittington now also sidelined, Rams wideouts Konata Mumpfield and Tutu Atwell profile as the Rams' top wide receiver options. Wilson also reports that Los Angeles is signing wide receiver Xavier Smith to replace Whittington on the active roster.

Deion Burks a Deep-League Waiver Wire Stash Following Colts' Trades
Indianapolis Colts rookie wide receiver Deion Burks has played a limited role in his team's offense so far this season, recording six catches for 60 yards on nine targets across nine games. However, Burks could get his opportunity to prove himself in Indianapolis down the stretch. The Colts traded away two veteran wideouts at Tuesday's trade deadline, sending Keenan Allen to the San Francisco 49ers and Josh Downs to the Kansas City Chiefs. With WR1 Alec Pierce (heel) on Injured Reserve and not expected to return in the near future, Indianapolis has very few proven pass-catchers outside of tight end Tyler Warren. While Burks is not guaranteed to see an increase in targets, he's a higher-upside option for deep-league fantasy managers than veteran Colts wide receivers Laquon Treadwell, Ashton Dulin, and Nick Westbrook-Ikhine.

Cam Skattebo Logs Full Practice on Tuesday
New York Giants running back Cam Skattebo (hamstring) was officially listed as a full participant in his team's practice on Tuesday, per Dan Salomone of Giants.com. Skattebo missed New York's Week 9 win over the Philadelphia Eagles with a hamstring injury, but he appears to be trending toward suiting up for the Giants' Week 10 matchup against the Washington Commanders on Thursday Night Football. Across seven games in 2026, Skattebo has recorded 98 carries for 418 yards and two touchdowns, and 11 catches for 76 yards on 13 targets. Assuming he's active against Washington, Skattebo will likely resume the lead rushing role for the Giants and profiles as a low-end fantasy RB2 in Week 10.

Malik Nabers Logs Full Practice on Tuesday
New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers (knee) practiced in full on Tuesday, per Dan Salomone of Giants.com. Nabers has been listed on the injury report with a knee issue over the past couple of weeks, but he appears to be trending toward being active for New York's Week 10 matchup against the Washington Commanders on Thursday Night Football. The 23-year-old has been highly productive for the Giants this season, recording 53 catches for 648 yards and two touchdowns on 78 targets across eight games. Assuming he's active against the Commanders, Nabers profiles as a must-start wide receiver for fantasy managers in Week 10.

Justin Herbert Stays With Chargers After Vikings Trade Inquiry
Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert drew a trade inquiry from the Minnesota Vikings before Tuesday's deadline, according to Jordan Schultz. The Chargers immediately turned away inquiries about Herbert, Schultz reported. Herbert's five-year, $262.5 million extension, signed in 2023, runs through 2029 and includes a no-trade clause. He has started all eight games for the winless Chargers, throwing for 1,591 yards with six touchdowns and 11 interceptions. Houston sacked Herbert a career-high eight times Sunday, bringing his season total to 31. He threw for 193 yards with a touchdown and an interception before leaving the game in the fourth quarter with an injury to his left middle finger. Head coach Jim Harbaugh kept him out for the rest of the game and said Monday that X-rays were negative and Herbert should be good to go. Herbert has thrown an interception in every start this season and has yet to throw more than one touchdown pass in a game. RotoBaller ranks him QB25 in its early Week 10 rankings ahead of Monday night's road game against Baltimore.

Kyle McCord Trending Towards Starting for Dolphins
Miami Dolphins backup quarterback Kyle McCord is in line to start his team's Week 10 matchup against the Buffalo Bills following the team's placement of QB1 Malik Willis (groin) on Injured Reserve, per Sal Capaccio of WGR 550. A sixth-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft by the Philadelphia Eagles, McCord has yet to appear in an NFL game. He spent the 2025 season on the Eagles' practice squad before being signed by the Green Bay Packers in January and then being traded to Miami right before the start of the 2026 season. McCord has a favorable matchup in what will likely be his first NFL start in Week 10 against the Indianapolis Colts, which could give him some waiver wire appeal in two-QB fantasy formats. Still, the 24-year-old is extremely unproven, and he doesn't have an amazing supporting cast of weapons around him with the Dolphins.

Titans Keeping Tony Pollard Despite Trade Interest
The Tennessee Titans will keep running back Tony Pollard through the trade deadline, per ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. The 29-year-old Pollard is currently playing out the final year of his contract with the one-win Titans, leading to speculation that he could be on the move to a contender. Instead, it appears as though the veteran running back will remain with Tennessee to finish out the 2026 season. Pollard has been productive this season, recording 665 yards from scrimmage and six touchdowns on 147 touches across eight games. He's played his best football lately, collecting 292 scrimmage yards and five touchdowns on 52 touches over his last two games. Still, Pollard's fantasy outlook would have been improved with a move to a more potent scoring offense, assuming he had retained a lead backfield role.
