Good news on DeVante Parker's knee injury
Injured on first play of the game in Week 8
By: Mike Krueger | Oct 31 2022, 10:15 am
|
Pretty good news for the #Patriots and WR DeVante Parker, who suffered just a knee sprain on the first play in Sunday's win, source said. If he misses time, it'll likely only be one game. Could be back after the bye. (Ian Rapoport on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: It was a short day for Paker who was injured on New England's first drive. Jakobi Meyers led all the Patriots receivers with 12 targets finishing with a 9-60-1 line. New England has a bye in Week 10 so it's possible Parker could return in Week 11 against the Jets

Darren Waller out for Week 8
Hamstring injury
By: Mike Krueger | Oct 30 2022, 9:57 am
|
Raiders’ TE Darren Waller will be inactive today vs. the Saints due to his hamstring injury, per source. He’s close to being able to return, but not there quite yet. (Adam Schefter on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: Waller missed Week 7 as well with his hamstring injury. In his place, Foster Moreau will get the start and be a streaming option at a weak tight end position.

DK Metcalf, Tyler Lockett expected to play
Both Seattle receivers are risky plays in Week 8
By: Mike Krueger | Oct 30 2022, 1:20 am
|
When Seahawks’ WR DK Metcalf was carted off last Sunday with a patella tendon injury, some suspected he might be sidelined for weeks. But Metcalf, listed as questionable for Sunday, will return from his injury sooner than expected and play vs. the Giants, per source. Seahawks’ WR Tyler Lockett, listed as questionable for Sunday due to hamstring and rib injuries, is expected to play vs. Giants, per source. (Adam Schefter on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: For what it's worth, Ian Rapoport labeled Lockett as a gametime decision. In any case, it's quite remarkable that Metcalf is going to suit after getting in a limited session on Friday. There's no indication right now if he will be limited or not. Pay attention to reports leading up to kickoff. Both Seattle receivers are risky plays in Week 8.

Davante Adams expected to play
Dealing with illness all week
By: Mike Krueger | Oct 30 2022, 1:13 am
|
#Raiders WR Davante Adams, listed as questionable after being a flu-like illness all week, is expected to play, source said. He felt better towards the end of the week. (Ian Rapoport on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: Adams missed practice Wednesday and Thursday but did practice on Friday and is expected to play against the Saints.

James Conner will miss Week 8
Darrel Williams is a game-day decision
By: Mike Krueger | Oct 28 2022, 5:00 pm
|
Kingsbury said RB James Conner will not play Sunday in Minnesota. RB Darrel Williams is a game-day decision. (Darren Urban on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: It looks like Eno Benjamin will get most of the work in the backfield for the Cardinals again. Benjamin has had touch counts of 16 and 18 the last two weeks with Conner out. We should expect a similar amount or work this week against the Vikings who are middle of the pack against fantasy running backs this season.

Deebo Samuel out for Week 9, hamstring injury
Missed practice all week
By: Mike Krueger | Oct 28 2022, 4:37 pm
|
49ers ruled out WR Deebo Samuel for Sunday’s game vs. the Rams due to his hamstring injury. (Adam Schefter on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: Deebo missed practice this week and will miss Week 9. That likely means more work for Christian McCaffrey, Brandon Aiyuk and tight end George Kittle. San Francisco has a bye in Week 9 which will give Deebo two weeks to rest.

|
|
DK Metcalf, Tyler Lockett gameday decisions
Seattle wide receivers listed as questionable
By: Mike Krueger | Oct 28 2022, 4:34 pm
|
Seahawks list DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett as limited today. Carroll said he wouldn’t have thought Metcalf would be able to practice this week. "He ran around today and did some stuff and looked pretty good." Called it a positive step but said Metcalf and Lockett will be gameday decisions. (Brady Henderson on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: It still seems like a longshot for Metcalf to play but we should get further information this weekend. Same with Lockett, who has been battling a hamstring injury the last two weeks but also added a rib injury to his status on Friday.

Ja’Marr Chase out 4-6 weeks with hip injury
Could be placed on IR
By: Mike Krueger | Oct 27 2022, 4:36 pm
|
Bengals’ WR Ja’Marr Chase is dealing with a hip injury that is expected to sideline him 4-6 weeks and makes him a prime candidate for injured reserve, per sources. Chase visited with a hip specialist Wednesday and is seeking more answers about his injury. (Adam Schefter on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: Tough blow for Chase, the Bengals and Chase fantasy owners who will without fantasy's No.4 wide receiver for a big chunk of the season. This should result in a bump for Tyler Boyd who should see a few more targets come his way on a weekly basis. The Bengals have a bye in Week 10.

Allen Lazard not expected to play
Shoulder injury
By: Mike Krueger | Oct 27 2022, 4:09 pm
|
#Packers WR Allen Lazard says he heard a “snap, crackle, pop” in his shoulder when he was tackled in the third quarter Sunday. He is not concerned long term, but Lazard does not expect to play in Buffalo. “Probably not,” he says. (Ryan Wood on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: Lazard missed practice Thursday and will likely be on the Inactive list in Week 8 leaving Green Bay with a bunch of undesirable options at wide receiver. Both Sammy Watkins (hamstring) and Christian Watson (hamstring) have been limited this week. Romeo Doubs is likely to play the majority of snaps out of necessity.

Giants trade Kadarius Toney to Chiefs
Giants receive third-round compensatory pick, sixth-round pick
By: Mike Krueger | Oct 27 2022, 12:33 pm
|
The #Giants are trading WR Kadarius Toney to the #Chiefs for a third-round compensatory pick and 2023 sixth-round pick, as
@Schultz_Report said. (Tom Pelissero on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: Toney's been a bit of conundrum in his early career, showing flashes of being a difference maker on the field mixed with injury and off-field issues. JuJu Smith-Schuster and Mecole Hardman will be a free agents at the end of the season. It sounds like Toney had worn out his welcome in New York and a fresh start was needed for both sides.

Mark Andrews, Rashod Bateman hopeful to play TNF
Bateman practiced Wednesday
By: Mike Krueger | Oct 27 2022, 12:05 pm
|
As for the #Ravens, sources say TE Mark Andrews and WR Rashod Bateman are both hopeful they’ll be able to play tonight. Both listed as questionable. We’ll get you final word later on
@NFLGameDay Kickoff live from Tampa. (Mike Garafolo on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: Bateman participated in practice on Wednesday while Andrews did not. For what it's worth, Andrews has been durable throughout his career and played last week with a knee injury. He did not catch a pass while playing on 88% of the snaps as the Ravens went run-heavy. Andrews and Bateman owners will need to pay attention to the Inactive list tonight.

Knee injury could cause Ezekiel Elliott to miss Week 8
Dallas has a bye in Week 9
By: Mike Krueger | Oct 26 2022, 4:37 pm
|
Ezekiel Elliott was not ready to rule himself out of Sunday's game against the Chicago Bears, but the Dallas Cowboys running back's availability is in question after he missed Wednesday's practice with a right knee injury. A source told ESPN that Elliott is dealing with a hyperextended right knee that has caused swelling and bruising. (ESPN)
FFToday's Take: Dallas has a bye in Week 9 which could play a big factor in determining Zeke's availability in Week 8. Other reports suggest Zeke in unlikely to play. It's doubtful he will practice this week and could be labeled a gametime decision. Tony Pollard would have some high-end RB2 appeal with RB1 upside if Zeke sits.

Mike Williams expected to miss four weeks
High-ankle sprain
By: Mike Krueger | Oct 26 2022, 2:06 pm
|
#Chargers are expecting Mike Williams to miss a minimum of four weeks. (Daniel Popper on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: This is a typical timeline for a high-ankle sprain which Williams suffered in Week 7. The Chargers have a bye in Week 8 which means it's possible he could be back for the Week 12 matchup against the Arizona. Keenan Allen should be back playing a full workload in Week 9 against the Falcons.

Bucs rule out Cameron Brate, Russell Gage
Julio Jones a gametime decision
By: Mike Krueger | Oct 26 2022, 12:12 pm
|
Bowles says he expects Akiem Hicks to be doubtful for Thursday vs. Ravens. Julio Jones will be a game-time decision. Five players ruled out: Antoine Winfield, Carlton Davis, Sean Murphy-Bunting, Luke Goedeke, Cameron Brate. It's actually six Bucs players ruled out, as Russell Gage was also ruled out (hamstring). (Greg Auman on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: The Bucs will be down a couple pass-catchers for their matchup against the Ravens on Thursday night football. Rookie tight end Cade Otton will be a viable streaming option. Even if he plays, Julio can't be trusted given his propensity for injury.

NY Jets acquire James Robinson
Set to replace injured Breece Hall for Gang Green
By: Doug Orth | Oct 24 2022, 11:30 pm
|
Sources: The Jets are making a big trade, acquiring Jaguars RB James Robinson to help replaced injured RB Breece Hall. Draft pick compensation is going back to the Jags. (NFL Network - Ian Rapoport)
FFToday's Take: The draft pick compensation is reportedly a conditional sixth-round pick that could turn into a fifth-rounder. Robinson's departure makes it abundantly clear that Travis Etienne is the only show in time for now in Jacksonville. Meanwhile, Robinson's arrival in New York figures to offset the loss of Breece Hall (ACL), although Robinson lacks the explosiveness of the rookie. Robinson should eventually see more volume than new backfield partner Michael Carter but will likely top out as a low-end RB2.

Deebo Samuel day-to-day
Suffered hamstring injury in Week 7
By: Doug Orth | Oct 24 2022, 6:45 pm
|
Deebo Samuel day-to-day with a hamstring injury. (The Athletic - David Lombardi)
FFToday's Take: The 49ers are eyeing a Week 9 bye with a winnable game against the Rams next up on the schedule, so the team could go the safe route here if they want. In such a case, Brandon Aiyuk and George Kittle would be in line to see sizable bumps in their target shares. Christian McCaffrey could also absorb the bulk of Samuel's likely workload as well with another week to process the playbook. If Samuel is cleared to play, however, he is well worth a start in fantasy and should be considered a strong WR2 option.

Mike Williams likely to miss multiple games
High-ankle sprain
By: Doug Orth | Oct 24 2022, 6:40 pm
|
Mike Williams has a sprained ankle and will miss "weeks not days," Brandon Staley said. (ESPN - Adam Schefter)
FFToday's Take: Williams' fantasy managers catch a bit of a break with the timing of this injury - the Chargers go on their bye in Week 8 - but it would be overly optimistic for anyone to believe he will be ready to perform at his usual level by Week 9. High-ankle sprains tend to affect players that don't give them time to fully heal for the rest of the season. Josh Palmer likely goes right back to WR3 consideration even with Keenan Allen (hamstring) healthy, while Gerald Everett will likely remain a low-end TE1 option.

Matt Ryan benched, Sam Ehlinger to start
Shoulder injury for Ryan
By: Mike Krueger | Oct 24 2022, 2:00 pm
|
Frank Reich confirms the move is being made with the idea Sam Ehlinger will be the starter the rest of the season, and the move would have been made regardless of Matt Ryan's shoulder injury. #Colts (George Bremer on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: Word is, this move was a group effort between the owner, GM and head coach. Nick Foles is also on the roster and will be the backup in Week 8 against Washington. Ehlinger is a mobile quarterback so he's not the worst option to take a flier on if you're needy at the QB position.

DK Metcalf won't need surgery on knee
No timetable for his return
By: Mike Krueger | Oct 24 2022, 12:39 pm
|
Pete Carroll tells @TheMikeSalk and @BrockHuard that DK Metcalf won't need surgery. He got "a great report" this morning that showed "he hurt his patellar some." Said Metcalf is determined to practice Wednesday, but Carroll sounded skeptical of that. Overall, he sounded relieved. (Brady Henderson on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: Carroll is one of the least trustworthy coaches when it comes to player injuries. It sounds like Metcalf avoid a serious injury which is good news but we certainly don't have a timetable for his return. The Seahawks have a bye in Week 11.

ACL injury likely for Breece Hall
Jets running back suffers knee injury in Week 7
By: Mike Krueger | Oct 23 2022, 7:41 pm
|
Jets’ HC Robert Saleh told reporters that the team thinks RB Breece Hall suffered an ACL injury. (Adam Schefter on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: Brutal. Hall had taken over the lead running back role in Week 4 but will know likely miss the rest of his rookie season. Michael Carter should now assume a bigger role in the running game. Ty Johnson has been operating as the third running back, but we can assume the Jets will bring in another veteran or someone off the practice squad.

David Njoku suffers sprained ankle in Week 7
"Isn't serious" according to source
By: Mike Krueger | Oct 23 2022, 7:02 pm
|
Browns’ TE David Njoku, who was in a walking boot and on crutches after today’s game in Baltimore, suffered a sprained ankle that, in the words of one source, “isn’t serious.” There will be added tests to determine full extent of injury but “he will be OK.” (Adam Schefter on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: Njoku had a 7-71-0 line on 7 targets before the leaving the game. He's been a reliable TE1 this season at a position with very few options. The Browns have a bye coming up in Week 9.

Isiah Pacheco expected to start for Chiefs
Clyde Edwards-Helaire still involved
By: Mike Krueger | Oct 23 2022, 8:09 am
|
Isiah Pacheco took the first-team reps in practice this week and is expected to be the starter at running back in Sunday's game vs. the 49ers, sources say. Pacheco will replace former first-rounder Clyde Edwards-Helaire, who will still have a key role on offense. Kansas City often rotates backs, and both are expected to see significant snaps. (Ian Rapoport on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: The Chiefs have been using all three of their running backs this season making it difficult for fantasy owners to get a feel for who to start. Pacheco is arguably their best player at the position and now that he has the trust of Andy Reid in pass protection, could finally have some real fantasy value. His ceiling will be capped until he develops enough trust to see a 60% snap share.

Keenan Allen a gametime decision
Hamstring injury
By: Mike Krueger | Oct 23 2022, 7:10 am
|
Chargers WR Keenan Allen, listed as Q due to a hamstring injury, wants to see how he feels Sunday before making a final decision, per source. But the Chargers know their bye is next week, and resting Allen now would give his hamstring two more weeks to heal and be ready after bye. (Adam Schefter on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: It sounds like Allen is going to be held out of Week 7 but we won't know for sure until Inactives come out later this afternoon. Allen owners can use DeAndre Carter as a placeholder in their lineup and make the swap if Allen does play.

Tyler Lockett expected to play
Missed practice all week with hamstring injury
By: Mike Krueger | Oct 23 2022, 7:00 am
|
Seahawks’ WR Tyler Lockett, listed as questionable for Sunday due to a hamstring injury, is expected to play vs. the Chargers, per source. (Adam Schefter on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: Lockett played through his hamstring issue last week and the Seahawks decided to sit him out of practice all this week in hopes he could play in Sunday. Here we are. Lockett does carry some risk but he's a decent WR2 play in the highest total game of the week (50.5).
|
|
 |
Russell Wilson out for Week 7, Brett Rypien to start
Hamstring injury for Wilson
By: Mike Krueger | Oct 22 2022, 12:32 pm
|
While Russell Wilson wanted to play despite a hamstring injury and did everything he could to play, the Broncos HC Nathaniel Hackett will hold back the 9-time Pro Bowl QB vs. the Jets to allow him to heal and prevent a lingering injury, per sources.
Brett Rypien gets the start. (Adam Schefter on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: Wilson and the Broncos haven't exactly been setting the world on fire with their play this season so perhaps Rypien can inject some life into this offense. This isn't a great situation for Courtland Sutton but it's not a reason to bench the Broncos best fantasy player either.
|
|

Tyler Lockett is a gametime decision
Missed practice all week with hamstring issue
By: Mike Krueger | Oct 21 2022, 4:48 pm
|
Pete Carroll says Tyler Lockett is a game time decision but says he’s got a good chance to play. (Bob Codotta on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: Lockett was bothered by his hamstring issue last week and turned in a 2-17-0 line on five targets. He missed practice all week but the optimist Carroll says he has a good chance to play. We should know more on Lockett's status late Saturday night / early Sunday morning.

D'Andre Swift, WR Josh Reynolds listed as Questionable
Amon-Ra St. Brown off the Injury Report
By: Mike Krueger | Oct 21 2022, 3:48 pm
|
Lions' WR Amon-Ra St. Brown is off the injury report for Sunday's game vs. the Cowboys, and RB D'Andre Swift and WR Josh Reynolds both are listed as questionable.
Lions also ruled out WR D.J. Chark, DL Charles Harris, S Ifeatu Melifonwu, T Matt Nelson and CB Bobby Price. (Adam Schefter on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: Swift got in limited practices all three days this week while Reynolds only practiced on a limited basis Friday. We'll likely get better clarification on Swift this weekend.

J.K. Dobbins out 4-6 weeks, knee surgery
Baltimore RB has played in 4 games this season
By: Mike Krueger | Oct 21 2022, 3:15 pm
|
Ravens’ standout RB J.K. Dobbins is expected to undergo arthroscopic knee surgery next week that would sideline him 4-6 weeks, per sources. (Adam Schefter on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: Head coach John Harbaugh stated last week that Dobbins' knee "tightned up" on him which led to Kenyan Drake taking over the bulk of the running back duties in Week 6. Justice Hill is also expected to be active and the team still has the option to make Gus Edwards active if they choose. Drake looks like the desirable fantasy play in Week 7 against the Browns.

Looking good for Jonathan Taylor, Optimistic on Hines
Nyheim Hines clears concussion protocol
By: Mike Krueger | Oct 21 2022, 1:17 pm
|
Reich: "It's looking positive" for Jonathan Taylor to play Sunday. Unsure yet if there will be limitations. Nyheim Hines has cleared concussion protocol. "Feeling optimistic about Nyheim." #Colts (George Bremer on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: The Colts are likely to be at full strength in their running back room this week against the Titans. We'll see if we get any reports this weekend about restrictions on Taylor but he's trending towards being active and starting in Week 7. How much Hines and Deon Jackson play remains to be seen.

Elijah Moore won't play in Week 7
Jets receiver unhappy with his role
By: Mike Krueger | Oct 21 2022, 10:38 am
|
Not a surprise: #Jets coach Robert Saleh announces that WR Elijah Moore won't play on Sunday vs. the #Broncos. (Ian Rapoport on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: Yet another player making waves about his role, Moore will now miss this week's game against Denver. It was reported yesterday that Moore was seeking a trade but the Jets have no interest in trading their second-year receiver. We could see more of Denzel Mims this week who is more of a direct replacement than Braxton Berrios.

Darren Waller, Hunter Renfrow miss practice Thursday
Waller unlikely to play
By: Mike Krueger | Oct 20 2022, 5:00 pm
|
#Raiders' injury report for Thursday includes WR Hunter Renfrow (hip) who did not participate in practice. Also DNP is TE Darren Waller (hamstring). He told @JimTrotter_NFL “this weekend will probably be tough for me, but it won’t be a longtime thing.” (Anthony Galaviz on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: It sounds like Waller is going to miss Week 7 against the Texans which would put Foster Moreau in play but he has been limited the last two days with a knee injury. If Renfrow misses as well, Mack Hollins would be a Flex consideration. We'll get more info on all of the Raiders' players after practice on Friday.
|
|
|
Mark Andrews, J.K. Dobbins miss practice Thursday
Rashod Bateman practiced for the second straight day
By: Mike Krueger | Oct 20 2022, 2:06 pm
|
Ravens TE Mark Andrews (knee) and RB J.K. Dobbins missed their second straight practices.
Rashod Bateman practiced for the second straight day. He’s missed the last two games with a left foot injury. (Jamison Hensley on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: On the plus side, it seems like Bateman will be on the field this weekend against the Browns making him a Flex option Week 7 and possibly more depending on the status of Andrews. It seems like Kenyan Drake will be the starting running back if Dobbins isn't able to go. Drake broke out last week with a 10-119-1 line against the Giants.

Panthers trade Christian McCaffrey to 49ers
Carolina receives multiple Day 2 draft picks in 2023
By: Mike Krueger | Oct 20 2022, 11:24 am
|
Sources: The #Panthers are trading star RB Christian McCaffrey to the #49ers, as SF adds a major offensive weapon. Full terms:
-- The #49ers get star RB Christian McCaffrey.
-- The #Panthers get a 2nd round pick in 2023, a third-rounder in 2023, and a fourth-round pick in 2023. Plus, a fifth-rounder in 2024.
Massive. (Ian Rapoport on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: This is quite a haul for a running back but McCaffrey is arguably the best running back in the league. This is also a nice boost for his fantasy value but not as big as it might seem. McCaffrey is already RB4 in PPR scoring but his touchdown outlook is definitely going to increase on his new team. Jeff Wilson has lost a huge chunk of value and we'll see how much this impacts the running of Deebo Samuel. D'Onta Foreman and Chuba Hubbard are likely to share carries in Carolina in the wake of McCaffrey leaving.

Saints rule out Michael Thomas, Jarvis Landry, Trautman
Week 7 injuries
By: Mike Krueger | Oct 19 2022, 2:49 pm
|
The #Saints ruled out CB Marshon Lattimore, WR Michael Thomas, WR Jarvis Landry, G Andrus Peat and TE Adam Trautman for tomorrow night's game vs. the #Cardinals. (Ari Meirov on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: The Saints will once again be depleted at the receiver position but will have Chris Olave (concussion) back in the mix to go along with Marquez Callaway and Tre'Quan Smith. Expect Juwan Johnson to handle the bulk of receiving duties at tight end.

Chris Olave set to play Week 7
Tells reporters he has been cleared from concussion
By: Doug Orth | Oct 18 2022, 10:00 pm
|
Saints WR Chris Olave said he is fully cleared, 100% and planning to return Thursday at Arizona after missing Week 6 with a concussion. (ESPN - Mike Triplett)
FFToday's Take: It is great news for a receiving corps that figures to be without Michael Thomas (foot) and Jarvis Landry (ankle) again. What is less clear right now is who will be throwing him the ball as both Andy Dalton (back) and Jameis Winston (back, ankle) are limited in practice. They might also be fighting for the starting quarterback job as well. Either way, Olave makes for a good start Thursday despite facing an Arizona defense that has done a surprisingly good job at limiting wide receiver production through six games.

Taylor Heinicke will start for the Commanders
Rookie Sam Howell will be the backup
By: Mike Krueger | Oct 18 2022, 12:12 pm
|
Washington HC Ron Rivera said Taylor Heinicke will start Sunday's game vs. the Packers and rookie QB Sam Howell will serve as the backup. (Adam Schefter on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: Carson Wentz injured his finger last week and may be put in IR. That decision will come later in the week. In the meantime, Heinicke will get some action against Green Bay in Week 7. The Packers have given up the fewest fantasy points to quarterbacks but have had an easy time of it against Justin Fields, Bailey Zappe and Daniel Jones. Still, Heinicke's lack of talent keeps him on the QB2 list.

Dak Prescott likely to return Week 7
Sidelined since opener with thumb injury
By: Doug Orth | Oct 17 2022, 6:45 pm
|
Cowboys coach Mike McCarthy: Cooper Rush has “put us in a good spot. (Dak Prescott) is going to be cleared officially. …The expectation is for Dak to be cleared today or tomorrow” and return to practice Wednesday. (Michael Gehlken on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: Rush and the defense did yeoman's work in leading the Cowboys to a 4-1 record in Prescott's absence, but the former's shortcomings were exposed in Sunday night's loss. Prescott gets one of the best matchups he could have asked for in Week 7 with the Lions. Most of his fantasy managers should feel good about putting Prescott right back into their starting lineups. His return also should serve as a boon to CeeDee Lamb, Michael Gallup and Dalton Schultz while opening things up a bit for Ezekiel Elliott.

Keenan Allen expected to sit again Monday night
Hamstring injury; WR eyeing Week 7 return
By: Doug Orth | Oct 17 2022, 6:40 pm
|
Chargers WR Keenan Allen (hamstring) is inactive tonight vs. Broncos, per source. He's hoping to return next week. (ESPN - Jeremy Fowler)
FFToday's Take: This was expected, although Allen was limited in practice all week. It is somewhat interesting the Chargers are thinking about bringing him back in Week 7 with a bye coming up the following week. At any rate, he should automatically return to fantasy lineups. In regards to Monday night's game, expect the Chargers to rely heavily on Josh Palmer, Gerald Everett and Austin Ekeler with Denver expected to shadow Mike Williams with Patrick Surtain II.

Marquise Brown likely out at least six weeks
Non-surgical fracture; seeking second opinion
By: Doug Orth | Oct 17 2022, 6:30 pm
|
Some good news for AZCardinals WR Marquise Brown: Following the MRI, his foot isn’t as bad as was initially thought. It’s a small, non-surgical fracture, source said. Recovery time is about 6 weeks. He’s getting a second opinion from Dr. Robert Anderson before moving forward. (NFL Network - Ian Rapoport)
FFToday's Take: Brown and his fantasy managers can feel slightly better about this timeline than the one earlier Monday that had him possibly missing the rest of the season. As it is with this new timeline, however, he may miss the rest of the fantasy season. It is also possible that the Cardinals choose to keep him in bubble wrap if they fall too far back in the NFC West over the next month or so - which is a distinct possibility. In Brown's absence, DeAndre Hopkins, Rondale Moore and Zach Ertz should all be locked into the majority of fantasy lineups.

Panthers trade Robbie Anderson to Cardinals
Sideline dispute with WR coach
By: Mike Krueger | Oct 17 2022, 1:05 pm
|
Carolina had shopped Robbie Anderson recently, and all parties appeared on the same page. But rather than have to release him after yesterday, the #Panthers were able to deal him to Arizona. (Ian Rapoport on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: This move comes on the heels of Anderson getting into it with his WR coach on the sideline in Weel6. Anderson was eventually told to go the locker room. Marquise Brown suffered a foot injury yesterday and his status remains uncertain. Even so, Robbie doesn't have a lot of fantasy value at the moment with DeAndre Hopkins coming back into the mix. The Cardinals will owe Anderson's remaining $690,000 prorated portion of his base salary.
