I can obviously understand why the Raiders tried featuring Mike Washington on the ground But it's giving cover to the much more baffling decision of zero targets to Omar Cooper. What happened there

Kyren fantasy managers watching him take the "run out the clock in blowouts" job from Corum

Treylon Burks (foot) active for Week 8.

Mike Washington Jr. has moved ahead of Ashton Jeanty on the Raiders' depth chart, with head coach Klint Kubiak stating that both running backs will be important but indicating Washington Jr. received more opportunities Sunday. The source notes that the fourth-round rookie now appears to be the No. 1 back on the depth chart.

Fourth-round rookie Mike Washington Jr. out of Arkansas took on a bellcow role against the Jets with 25 carries for 83 yards, significantly outpacing Ashton Jeanty's 2 carries. This marks a major workload shift, with Washington Jr. receiving the bulk of the Raiders' rushing attempts in the game.

Head coach Klint Kubiak stated postgame that Jeanty would remain a big part of the Raiders' offense moving forward, saying 'Ashton's still gonna be a big part of our team. … He's gonna be a huge part of our run game going forward.' Kubiak denied that Jeanty's decreased role Sunday had anything to do with his mid-week comments calling out Jets defenders, instead framing the decision as wanting to give Mike Washington Jr. more opportunities.

Jeanty entered Sunday's game against the Jets averaging 3.1 yards per carry in what the source describes as a bad sophomore NFL season. Against the Jets, he averaged 4.5 yards per carry (9 yards on 2 carries), but the Raiders' run game overall averaged just 2.9 yards per carry and ranked 31st in the league with 74.7 rushing yards per game entering the week.

Jeanty has been relegated to No. 2 on the Raiders' depth chart behind fourth-round rookie Mike Washington Jr., who took on a bellcow role with 25 carries for 83 yards against the Jets. The source notes that the 2024 Heisman Trophy finalist and elite running back prospect appears to have lost his lead role.

Jeanty carried the ball just 2 times for 9 yards against the Jets on Sunday, marking his lowest workload of the season with 5 total touches (2 carries, 3 receptions for 64 yards). His carry volume has declined sharply from 23 in Week 1 to 21, 19, 15, 10, 10, 8, and now 2 carries in subsequent weeks, suggesting a significant role reduction despite being the No. 6 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft.

Rhamondre Stevenson was involved in a fake pitch play where Drake Maye kept the ball for a touchdown run; Stevenson's role in the play design demonstrates his continued involvement in Patriots offensive schemes.

Drake Maye led a Patriots comeback from down 10 at halftime, executing a fake pitch to Rhamondre Stevenson to score a two-yard touchdown run that put New England up 17-13 with 59 seconds left in the third quarter; Maye also threw a touchdown pass on the previous possession that was initially ruled incomplete but overturned on replay review.

Minshew likely starting for Cardinals in Week 9 vs Seahawks after putting up 30 points in just over one quarter in recent overtime win vs Cowboys; his performance sparked one of the most improbable wins of the 2026 NFL season and demonstrates immediate offensive impact when inserted into the lineup.

Hall has been floated in recent trade discussions following Allen's emergence and some cryptic social media posts by Hall himself; however, the Jets have not had serious internal discussions about moving him and view Hall and Allen as two players capable of forming one of the NFL's best running back duos. Head coach Aaron Glenn stated Hall is 'an important part of what we're doing, what we're building.' The Jets do not plan to extend Hall before the trade deadline, though trade interest could intensify if Jonathan Taylor is dealt and teams miss out on him.

Smith looked like a Pro Bowler in the Jets' 38-33 loss to Las Vegas, where the Jets scored on their first six possessions and held a nine-point halftime lead before ultimately losing despite superior offensive statistics.

Wilson was targeted in the Jets' loss to Las Vegas; teams have already been contacting the Jets about acquiring him, with those inquiries expected to increase following the Raiders defeat, but the Jets have stressed to all inquiring teams that Wilson is not available for trade.

Allen rushed for 147 yards in the Jets' 38-33 loss to Las Vegas, demonstrating the emergence that has positioned him alongside Breece Hall as part of one of the NFL's best running back duos; his performance has fueled speculation about Hall's trade value, though the Jets view both backs as core to their offensive future.

Steelers running back Jaylen Warren dismissed Jared Verse's pregame trash talk, saying "Some walk. Some talk," indicating the Steelers' focus remained on execution rather than external noise during their 27-6 victory over the Browns.

Drew Brees has offered excellent commentary on Justin Herbert's issues in this Chargers offense today.

Jones has served as the Colts' starting quarterback through the first eight weeks of the 2026 season, but Colts coach Shane Steichen declined to commit to him as the starter following a 42-7 Week 8 loss to Jacksonville, saying 'I'm gonna evaluate everything, every position, going forward.' With the team at 2-6, the coaching staff may consider giving backup Anthony Richardson more opportunities to prove himself.

Richardson served as the primary backup to Daniel Jones across the first eight weeks of the 2026 NFL season and saw limited action in Week 8 against Jacksonville, completing 2 of 2 pass attempts for 4 yards on 2 carries. Colts coach Shane Steichen declined to commit to Jones as the starting quarterback when asked about his status following the 42-7 loss, stating 'I'm gonna evaluate everything, every position, going forward,' suggesting Richardson could receive more extensive opportunities as the team sits at 2-6.

Richardson returned to game action in Week 8 after missing the remainder of the 2025 season due to a freak eye injury sustained during pregame warmups before Week 6; he fractured his orbital bone and faced uncertainty about vision recovery, with doctors initially unable to confirm he would regain sight. Now healthy at age 24, he has served as primary backup to Daniel Jones through the first eight weeks of the 2026 season and expressed gratitude for the opportunity to return, stating 'There were definitely times where I would go to the doctor, and they would tell me they don't know if I'm getting my vision back.'

Rookie Joe Fagnano was the emergency quarterback on Sunday after both Lamar Jackson and Tyler Huntley were injured, going 10-of-21 for 91 yards and an interception. With the Ravens lacking a quarterback on the practice squad and facing Jacksonville on Thursday, Fagnano could see additional playing time if neither Jackson nor Huntley is available.

Tyler Huntley replaced Lamar Jackson but also had to leave after suffering a toe injury. Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that Huntley is believed to have turf toe and will have an MRI to determine the extent of the injury. The quick turnaround to Thursday seems unlikely given Huntley's inability to return to Sunday's loss to the Bills, leaving his availability for the Jacksonville game in serious doubt.

Lamar Jackson was knocked out with a right thumb injury early in Sunday's game against the Bills. Head coach Jesse Minter said he could miss the rest of the season after having surgery, creating significant uncertainty for the Ravens' quarterback position heading into Thursday's game against Jacksonville.

Lamb has delivered heroic connections with Dak Prescott, but the Cowboys offense is plagued by inexplicable play-calls and inconsistent executions under Brian Schottenheimer; the team lacks the characteristics of one that exerts its will on either side of the ball.

Prescott has delivered heroic connections with CeeDee Lamb, but the Cowboys offense is plagued by inexplicable play-calls and inconsistent executions under Brian Schottenheimer; the team lacks the characteristics of one that exerts its will on either side of the ball.

Exploded in the third quarter after the Cardinals switched to backup quarterback Gardner Minshew, breaking off a massive touchdown run that sparked Arizona's comeback despite the team being ravaged by injuries and having lost starting running back Jeremiah Love; his performance was a turning point in the Cardinals' second-half surge.

Newly elevated player who contributed a touchdown via a wild fumble recovery on the Cowboys' goal-line drive, demonstrating immediate offensive impact after promotion.

Tyler Huntley, the Ravens' backup quarterback, also went down in the same game where Lamar Jackson suffered his thumb injury, leaving Baltimore with significant question marks at the quarterback position.

Lamar Jackson suffered a thumb injury that will place him on injured reserve and require surgery, potentially sidelining him for the rest of the season and creating significant uncertainty at the quarterback position for the Ravens.

The Ravens also had backup quarterback Tyler Huntley go down in the game, leaving them with a lot of question marks at the most important position on the field.

Baltimore could be without quarterback Lamar Jackson for the rest of the season after Jackson suffered a thumb injury that will place him on injured reserve and require surgery.

A.J. Brown was made inactive ahead of the Patriots-Dolphins game, further limiting the Patriots' wide receiver depth alongside Hunter Henry's foot injury and reducing Brown's opportunity for targets and production.

Tight end Hunter Henry suffered a foot injury in the first half of the Patriots-Dolphins game and has not returned, leaving the Patriots short on offensive options and potentially opening opportunity for backup tight ends.

Kyle Williams caught a deep touchdown pass from Drake Maye in the third quarter (initially ruled incomplete but overturned on challenge); Williams is now up to two touchdowns on the season, indicating increased offensive involvement and red-zone opportunity share.

Drake Maye completed 9 of 12 passes for 100 yards in the first half of a Patriots-Dolphins game, demonstrating efficient early-game performance with a touchdown pass to Kyle Williams.

Nice to see NE get Kyle Williams running across the field. Go routes are fun and all, but DBs will struggle to run with him on crossers.

Kyle Williams leads the NFL in yards per reception (23.5) since the beginning of last season. Fun!

The Chargers offense is broken Justin Herbert is broken [Quoted](

Eagles WR mentioned by one owner as needed return to offset Zay Flowers downside; implies Flowers owner also owns Smith and is hoping for his return to balance portfolio damage.

Saints QB mentioned as unlikely but possible if healthy and willing to return for contender. Minimal community discussion.

Retired Colts QB mentioned as potential comeback option; played decently for Indy last year. Ravens passing game coordinator Marcus Brady coached him in Indianapolis. Minimal community traction.

Chargers QB mentioned as cheap trade option; Ravens staff (Jesse Minter) familiar with him from Chargers tenure. Minimal community discussion.

Giants backup QB mentioned as unlikely trade target; Giants in playoff contention and would not trade until Dart returns. Ravens passing game coordinator Doyle familiar with him from Saints tenure.

Colts QB mentioned as potential trade target given Colts 'fire sale' and trade rumors; could keep running attack functional. Minimal community traction.

Broncos connection via Ravens passing game coordinator Doyle (TE coach in Denver 2023); mentioned as unlikely given Wilson's poor Denver performance and Ravens staff skepticism.

Raiders QB mentioned in trade speculation despite Raiders being 4-4 and competitive; unlikely given Raiders' playoff positioning and Cousins' solid play. One comment: 'Kirk Cousin rumors are already flying.'

Bears backup QB mentioned as potential Ravens acquisition; familiar with Ravens passing game coordinator Declan Doyle's offense and could be ready immediately. No strong community consensus.

Saints/former Saints connection: knows Ravens passing game coordinator Declan Doyle from 2022 Saints tenure. Mentioned as potential trade/free-agent target but no strong community push.

Cardinals QB benched today; frequently cited as most realistic trade target for Ravens. Has starting experience and familiarity with Ravens passing game coordinator Marcus Brady (coached him in Indianapolis). Community sees him as 'only solution' but notes he just got benched.

Bengals QB frequently mentioned as potential trade target for Ravens (irony of replacing Lamar noted). Community split: some see it as logical move given familiarity; others argue Bengals would never trade division rival and price would be prohibitive (1st-round ask). Flacco is currently with Bengals, not available.

Backup RB mentioned as potential waiver-wire pickup (Ja'Kobi Lane reference in comments suggests Hill or similar pass-catching back could see increased usage in negative game scripts).

TE for Ravens faces same passing-game collapse risk as Flowers; limited direct discussion but implied in broader Ravens offense downside.

RB1 for Ravens faces stacked-box risk without functional passing game to keep defense honest. Community notes Ravens O-line not good enough to create space without QB keeping defense honest; Henry had 700+ total yards and 9 TDs in 8 games pre-crisis but trajectory now uncertain. Multiple owners with both Henry and Flowers report severe distress.

WR1 for Ravens now faces severe downside with Lamar out and backup QB situation in flux. passing game will collapse without competent QB; multiple owners report having Flowers in multiple leagues and facing major production cliff. One owner noted Flowers had goose egg in recent game with third-string QB.

Suffered turf toe injury at Buffalo; awaiting MRI to determine severity and missed-time timeline. Turf toe injuries can linger and impact QB mobility.

Placed on IR due to thumb injury; timeline unclear but community consensus suggests longer absence than typical 4-week IR window given speed of placement.

Ravens QB Snoop Huntley suffered a turf toe injury in today's game, per @​AdamSchefter He will undergo an MRI tomorrow.

Schefter: Tyler Huntley believed to have suffered turf toe injury.

Kolar was the intended target on Herbert's second interception of the game, thrown to cornerback Trent McDuffie instead, indicating Kolar remains in the Chargers' receiving options despite the offensive struggles.

Stafford connected with Puka Nacua on an 18-yard touchdown screen pass as the Rams scored 21 straight points, with touchdowns on three of their last four possessions.

Nacua scored an 18-yard touchdown on a screen pass from Matthew Stafford and leads the game with 10 catches for 82 yards on 11 targets, demonstrating high volume and efficiency in the Rams' offense.

Herbert threw his league-leading 10th interception in the third quarter of Sunday's game, with the Chargers' offense remaining poor under coordinator Mike McDaniel; this was Herbert's second interception of the game, thrown while looking for tight end Charlie Kolar but intercepted by cornerback Trent McDuffie.

Rookie wide receiver KC Concepcion posted 129 receiving yards against Tennessee, one of the 10 best days by a rookie in Cleveland Browns franchise history. His performance overshadowed Fannin's solid 91-yard, six-reception outing the same week.

Fannin recorded a career-high 154 receiving yards and 10 receptions against Pittsburgh on November 1, 2026, becoming the first Cleveland Browns tight end to surpass 150 receiving yards in a game since Hall of Famer Ozzie Newsome in 1984 (who had 191 yards on 14 receptions against the Jets in 1984).

After concerns about limited production in games against the Jets and Ravens (two receptions for 13 yards combined), Fannin's role has expanded; he logged six receptions for 91 yards against Tennessee last week and then 10 receptions for 154 yards against Pittsburgh, signaling increased offensive involvement and target share.

After a slow second-year start without a 100-yard receiving game entering Week 9, Fannin has turned a corner; he posted 10 receptions for 154 yards against Pittsburgh on Sunday, career highs that make him the first Cleveland tight end to surpass 150 receiving yards in a game since Hall of Famer Ozzie Newsome (191 yards on 14 receptions in 1984). On pace to surpass his rookie season totals with 35 receptions for 411 yards through the season.

Wild that the Rams have arrived back at Tutu Atwell being an important downfield target.

Steelers tight end Darnell Washington was fined by the NFL following Week 8, though the specific violation is not detailed in the source.

Deshaun Watson was sacked eight times by the Steelers defense in Week 8, contributing to Cleveland's 27-6 loss. This defensive dominance limited Watson's fantasy production and offensive efficiency.

Jaylen Warren was part of the Steelers' dominant ground game that rushed for 200 yards against the Browns' defense in Week 8, brushing off Jared Verse's pregame trash talk with the comment 'Some walk, some talk.'

2026 Ashton Jeanty ahh line

Kelce was involved in a play where Alex Singleton forced a fumble on the Chiefs' first play of a drive, but the Chiefs recovered; the officiating crew later ruled it an incomplete pass.

Mahomes threw a 73-yard touchdown pass to Emmett Johnson and found receivers efficiently throughout the second quarter, leading the Chiefs to multiple scoring drives.

Humphrey caught a pass from Nix beyond the sticks for a first down during Denver's second-quarter drive.

Trautman caught a quick pass over the middle that set up a second and short situation during Denver's scoring drive.

Coleman received limited carries but showed explosiveness and fight for extra yardage; he spun out of a tackle for a 5-yard gain and first down, then fought for another 5-yard gain to set up second and goal at the 3-yard line, contrasting with Dobbins' inefficiency despite being the backup.

Johnson, a rookie, caught a 73-yard touchdown pass from Mahomes in the second quarter and later added a 38-yard reception, accumulating over 100 yards on three catches by the end of the quarter; the source notes that Broncos linebackers were 'getting exposed in coverage' against him.

Walker received a toss outside from Mahomes but was brought down by Riley Moss and Ja'Quan McMillian in open field, setting up a third and 10 situation.

Waddle caught a 35-yard gain over the middle into Chiefs territory and later scored a touchdown on fourth down from the 1-yard line, demonstrating consistent red-zone involvement and big-play ability.

Despite Sean Payton insisting on keeping Dobbins as the primary back, the source notes that observers see 'much more pop' when Jonah Coleman has the ball; Dobbins finished the quarter with 7 carries for 12 yards, including a 2-yard carry and a 9-yard loss on a sweep.

Nix suffered two batted passes at the line in the second quarter but showed competence in the passing game, finding receivers downfield including a 35-yard gain to Jaylen Waddle and ultimately leading a 12-play, 69-yard scoring drive.

Sutton made a big catch over the middle to start the second quarter and later caught an 18-yard gain on the sideline just outside the 20-yard line, demonstrating consistent involvement in Denver's passing attack.

Trautman caught a quick pass over the middle from Bo Nix that set up a second and short situation during Denver's scoring drive, contributing to the 12-play, 69-yard touchdown march.

The rookie tight end had a dominant second quarter, catching a 73-yard touchdown from Patrick Mahomes and later a 38-yard reception that put him over 100 yards on just three catches. The source notes 'the Broncos linebackers began getting exposed in coverage against Emmett Johnson again,' indicating he is consistently winning matchups and creating explosive plays against Denver's defense.

Coleman showed explosive playmaking when given opportunities, spinning out of a tackle for a 5-yard gain and first down on his first carry, then fighting for extra yardage for another 5-yard gain to set up second and goal at the three. The source contrasts his performance favorably with Dobbins, noting 'everyone on planet Earth seeing much more pop whenever Jonah Coleman has the ball,' suggesting he is more efficient and explosive despite limited touches.

Dobbins finished the second quarter with 7 carries for 12 yards, including a 9-yard loss on a sweep and a 2-yard carry on first down. The source criticizes Sean Payton's decision to keep Dobbins as the primary back, stating 'Sean Payton insists on keeping Dobbins in as the primary back despite everyone on planet Earth seeing much more pop whenever Jonah Coleman has the ball,' suggesting inefficiency and a potential role mismatch.

Waddle was heavily involved in Denver's scoring plays, catching a 35-yard gain over the middle from Bo Nix into Chiefs territory and then scoring a touchdown on fourth down from the one-yard line. His two-catch, two-score involvement in a 12-play, 69-yard scoring drive demonstrates his role as a primary target in the red zone.

Nix suffered two batted passes at the line during the second quarter but showed strong playmaking when given clean opportunities. He connected with Jaylen Waddle on a 35-yard gain over the middle and later found Waddle open for a touchdown in the red zone on fourth down. The source notes 'Bo Nix was feeling it,' indicating rhythm and confidence despite the batted passes.

Sutton made a big catch over the middle to start the second quarter, then later caught a bullet pass from Bo Nix on the sideline for an 18-yard gain just outside the 20-yard line during a scoring drive. The source emphasizes his playmaking with the phrase 'COURTLAND SUTTON DOING COURTLAND SUTTON THINGS,' highlighting his consistent production in key moments.

we got another Ashton Jeanty-Mike Washington situation brewing 😭 (I'm kidding) [Quoted](

Not giving your rookie WR a Target after they had 218 yards + 2 TDs in the two weeks prior? Malpractice.

Kelce is leading the Chiefs with 24 receptions and 343 receiving yards, operating as one of Kansas City's main pass-catching weapons and lining up 57% of the time as a wide receiver (out wide or in the slot). He maintains the best rapport with Patrick Mahomes and has been one of the most consistent options in the passing attack. The scary part of trading for a 37-year-old tight end this late in the season is the grind of the regular season and increased injury concerns; however, if Kelce stays healthy, he provides a consistent TE option every week. His best matchups are still ahead: Weeks 10, 11, and 12 feature the Atlanta Falcons, Arizona Cardinals, and Buffalo Bills—all three allowing top-10 fantasy scoring to tight ends or wide receivers. Kelce is identified as a great win-now option.

First-round talent Thomas has underperformed expectations, declining from a strong rookie year (87 receptions, 1,282 receiving yards, 10 TDs) to a mediocre second season (48 receptions, 707 receiving yards), and has been phased out of the Jacksonville offense this season, averaging only a 10% team target share and operating as the 4th receiving option. The source identifies this as a trade candidate whose value could drastically change over the next week. Ideal landing spots include the Los Angeles Rams (who lost Davante Adams and need a big-bodied receiver for red-zone work) or the San Francisco 49ers (whose starting pass-catchers average 32 years old and need a young, healthy receiver for Brock Purdy). Either landing spot would provide fantastic upside. Downside: Thomas stays in Jacksonville and remains underutilized.

Downs has looked electric on the field, separating from defenders at one of the best rates in the NFL and winning on almost every route he runs, but is severely hampered by Daniel Jones' poor quarterback play (4 TDs, 7 INTs, sub-60% completion rate entering Week 8; finished Week 8 with 144 passing yards, 1 TD, 2 INTs). Downs has requested a trade from the Colts, who are in full fire-sale mode. The upside scenario is landing on a competitive, WR-needy team like the Kansas City Chiefs, where he could become Andy Reid's slot receiver and jump into top-24 WR territory based on usage. Player values skyrocket after trades, especially when underperforming on current team. Downside risk: Downs doesn't get traded to an ideal landing spot or doesn't get traded at all, leaving him stuck on an abysmal Colts offense in a crowded receiving room.

Hampton is an extremely talented first-round pick currently stuck in a three-way split with Keaton Mitchell and Kimani Vidal, posting a 46% snap share and 23% route share. The source's trade thesis hinges on Mike McDaniels being fired and Adam Gase taking over as interim offensive coordinator; Gase's historical offensive philosophy favors a lead back operating as a three-down back (Jay Ajayi, Frank Gore, Le'Veon Bell with the Jets and Dolphins). If the scheme change occurs, Hampton could unlock his full potential and become a viable RB2. At current value, this represents significant upside, though the downside risk is substantial if McDaniels remains or Hampton doesn't see the expected usage increase.

Willis has averaged 24 fantasy points per game (QB7) over the past three weeks with 111 rushing yards and two TDs; his rushing production (only 11 fewer yards and one more TD than Rhamondre Stevenson over the same stretch) provides significant upside. The source identifies this as a buying opportunity given his poor Week 9 matchup against New England (allowing only 16 PPG to QBs), as Miami's next three opponents—Detroit Lions (1st), Indianapolis Colts (12th), and Buffalo Bills (3rd)—allow an average of 22.5 PPG to QBs, offering the most favorable schedule Willis should see all year. Recommended for superflex leagues as a win-now trade target.

All fantasy managers had to do to get Jaylen Waddle going was bench him. Easy game.

Finally benched Jaylen Waddle and this is how he does me

Nacua was targeted for consecutive 12-yard gains by Matthew Stafford on the Rams' first possession of the second half, helping set up the red zone for Corum's touchdown.

Corum has scored a touchdown in each of the last four games, demonstrating consistent red-zone efficiency and offensive involvement; on this Sunday he has eight carries for 63 yards with a TD.

Corum received five rushing attempts on the Rams' first possession of the second half, including four straight to begin the drive, signaling increased offensive focus on the running game after just five rushing attempts in the first two quarters.

Pavia, the 2025 Heisman runner-up and 5-10 undrafted rookie, was on the Ravens' 90-man roster during the offseason and could be considered for the practice squad as emergency depth ahead of Week 9. The source notes this is unlikely given the Ravens already have undrafted rookie Joe Fagnano, but Pavia was negotiating a UFL deal and would likely pause those plans if offered an NFL opportunity.

Stick, 31, is identified as a veteran quarterback with familiarity to Ravens head coach Jesse Minter, who served as the Chargers' defensive coordinator during Stick's 2024 backup role. Stick made four career starts in 2023 (all losses) with 63.8% completion, 1,129 yards, three touchdowns and one interception. The source notes his steadiness could make him an intriguing mentor for rookie Joe Fagnano. Stick is currently on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' practice squad.

Johnson, 40, is identified as an experienced option the Ravens could target from the Cincinnati Bengals' practice squad. He has been playing professionally since 2008 and has three separate stints with the Ravens (2016, 2021, 2023-24), where he dressed for six games as a backup. General manager Eric DeCosta's familiarity with Johnson could facilitate a move to the 53-man roster.

Garoppolo, 34, is identified as the most experienced quarterback on the free-agent market and a potential fit for the Ravens. He has a career record of 43-21 in 64 starts, 67.4% completion rate, 15,828 passing yards, 96 touchdowns and 52 interceptions, plus Super Bowl 54 starting experience and seven playoff starts. The source notes Baltimore's playoff positioning (4-4) and weapons (Zay Flowers, Derrick Henry) make it an attractive landing spot.

Cousins has been excellent across eight starts with the Raiders, leading them to a 4-4 record and posting 19 passing touchdowns, second-most league-wide to date this season. The source identifies Cousins as a legitimate stopgap option the Ravens could pursue to keep their playoff hopes alive, though the Raiders' playoff positioning and possession of the No. 1 overall pick (Fernando Mendoza) could complicate a trade.

Undrafted rookie Joe Fagnano became the lone healthy quarterback option for the Ravens after Lamar Jackson and Tyler Huntley both suffered injuries in Week 8. The Ravens must decide whether to start Fagnano long-term as they pursue a playoff push or target a veteran plug-and-play starter to hold the fort until Jackson or Huntley can return.

Huntley, the Ravens' top backup quarterback, suffered a toe injury in Week 8 against Buffalo, leaving him unavailable alongside injured starter Lamar Jackson. Head coach Jesse Minter provided no update on Huntley's status, only saying "we'll see" when asked about the backup quarterback.

Jackson returned from a three-game ankle injury absence in Week 8 against Buffalo but exited after one snap with a new thumb injury sustained on his first passing attempt. Head coach Jesse Minter announced Jackson would require surgery to repair the injured thumb and could "potentially" be out for the season, with Jackson placed on injured reserve.

The NFL is investigating Josh Jacobs for previously unreported abuse allegations; according to a case file obtained by NBC26, three women alleged to police that Jacobs physically abused them. This off-field legal matter creates uncertainty around his availability and fantasy viability.

Henry is listed as questionable to return with a foot injury, potentially unavailable for the remainder of the game and affecting the Patriots' offensive options.

Chism lost the ball after a short gain in the first half, resulting in a Dolphins recovery that set up one of Zane Gonzalez's field goals and contributed to the Patriots' 13-3 halftime deficit.

Washington caught a one-yard touchdown pass from Malik Willis with eight seconds remaining in the first half, contributing to the Dolphins' 13-3 halftime lead.

Willis completed five passes on a touchdown drive in the first half, including a one-yard TD pass to Malik Washington with eight seconds remaining in the half; the source notes he had a strong half performance as the Dolphins extended their lead to 13-3.

Ray Davis had a nice run in relief when James Cook left the field, but a penalty negated his gain. Limited usage data available from this game.

Allen threw his 260th career TD pass (regular season and playoffs combined), passing Jim Kelly for first in Bills history. The source notes Allen was sacked only once all day and made several impressive throws, including a difficult 11-yard TD pass to Moore in the back of the end zone described as 'what a throw.' Allen's performance demonstrates continued elite-level play.

Kincaid had a mixed performance with four catches on six targets for 86 yards and two touchdowns (40-yard reception and 23-yard TD). However, he dropped a surefire touchdown when completely open in the middle of the field, which the source called 'unbelievable.' Kincaid finished with 86 yards and two TDs despite the drop.

Cook scored a rushing touchdown in the second half as the Bills established the run game and controlled the clock, running 41 times for 146 yards total. Cook had an ugly fall during the game but left the field walking, indicating no serious injury.

Moore is emerging as Josh Allen's most reliable and consistent target in the passing game. The source praises his route-running and catch ability, noting a 49-yard reception on a well-executed route and throw. The source emphasizes Moore as 'the only truly reliable difference maker Josh has at his disposal in the passing game,' highlighting his veteran reliability and importance to the offense.

Was a 'no-show' in the first half according to the source. Baltimore's receivers combined for 12 catches and 91 yards on 26 targets with a long of 22 yards.

Received a swing pass with blockers ahead for a first down and more, helping the Bills move the chains late in the first half.

Josh Allen missed Coleman wide open deep for a touchdown in the first half. The source notes this was 'not a good game by 17 so far, in a day when everything has cooperated toward a Bills W,' indicating missed opportunities.

Not only dropped a pass but tapped it up, nearly asking Baltimore's defense to intercept it. This turnover killed the Bills' momentum and gave hope to the Ravens. Hawes was also among the receivers who dropped passes in the first quarter.

Scored Baltimore's only touchdown of the game on a 2-yard run in the first half. Later in the second half, Henry ran hard on another scoring attempt but the play was negated by a foul by Ronnie Stanley.

Ravens' backup quarterback also suffered an injury during the game, forcing Baltimore to start their third-string quarterback. Huntley was listed as out.

Injured his hand on his first pass attempt of the game, hitting Greg Rousseau's hand hard as he released the ball. The injury appeared to be a thumb injury and Jackson was listed as out, throwing only one pass all day.

Dropped a pass in the first quarter with significant yardage available. The source notes the drops by Knox, Kincaid, and Hawes in the first quarter made it 'tough for Josh to trust his guys on those short passes when they keep dropping with a lot of green in front of them.'

Rookie mentioned as potentially ahead of Joshua Palmer on the depth chart, with the source questioning why Palmer is still being defended ahead of Bell given Palmer's injury concerns.

Appeared to suffer a muscular injury midway through a deep route attempt by Josh Allen. The source expresses concern about Palmer's durability, noting 'it's tough to defend Palmer still ahead of rookie Skyler Bell' given the injury history.

Finished with four catches for 82 yards and a touchdown. The source emphasizes Moore 'impacts this O beyond his numbers,' drawing a holding penalty for a first down and making a 49-yard catch that put the Bills inside the 5-yard line. Source also notes Moore's value with a reference to the Denver play involving Brandin Cooks.

Joe Brady got Kincaid involved early in games, with the source noting this 'should make the passing offense's job easier going forward.' Kincaid was targeted on the Bills' second drive start.

Showed willingness to take checkdowns early against Baltimore's talented defense; finished with seven carries for 30 yards and a touchdown, including an impressive scramble that shook a defender for a first down.

Dropped a pass on the first play of the game with significant yardage available; finished with two catches for 21 yards. The source notes there was 'a lot of green in front of him' if he had caught the ball, indicating missed opportunity.

Caught three passes for 49 yards on the Bills' opening drive against Baltimore's talented defense, showing early involvement in the offense.

Henry ran hard for a touchdown in the second half, but the play was negated by a penalty (roughing the passer by Ronnie Stanley), limiting his scoring impact in the game.

Davis had a nice run in relief when Cook left the field, though a penalty negated his gain.

Allen threw his 259th and 260th career touchdown passes (regular season and playoffs combined), passing Jim Kelly for first in Bills history. He was sacked only once all day and led the offense to 426 total yards, 24 first downs, and 5.6 yards per play.

Kincaid finished with four catches on six targets for 86 yards and two touchdowns (40-yard reception and 23-yard TD). He dropped a surefire touchdown when completely open in the middle of the field, but also had a 23-yard TD reception late in the game.

Cook scored a rushing touchdown in the second half as the Bills established the run game and controlled the clock, running 41 times for 146 yards total. Cook had a fall late in the game but left the field walking.

Moore is the Bills' only truly reliable difference maker in the passing game; the source praises his route-running and catch ability, noting a 49-yard reception and highlighting his importance to the offense. Moore's performance prompted reflection on his value compared to Brandin Cooks in a prior Denver situation.

Not only dropped a pass but tapped it up, almost asking Baltimore's defense to intercept it, leading to Broderick Washington Jr. making an interception; also dropped a pass in the first quarter.

Was a no-show in the game; Baltimore's receivers combined for 12 catches and 91 yards on 26 targets with a long of 22 yards, indicating limited production from the Ravens' receiving corps.

Received a swing pass from Josh Allen with blockers ahead for a first down and more yardage late in the first half.

Scored Baltimore's only touchdown of the game on a 2-yard run in the first half; also ran hard on another scoring attempt in the second half that was negated by a foul by Ronnie Stanley.

Was also injured during the game after Baltimore got a great kickoff return, forcing the Ravens to start their third-string quarterback.

Was wide open deep for a touchdown but Josh Allen missed him, representing a missed scoring opportunity in a game where the Bills' offense struggled despite the dominant final score.

Dropped a pass in the first quarter despite having green space in front of him, contributing to Josh Allen's difficulty trusting his receivers on short passes.

Appeared to suffer a muscular injury midway through a deep route attempt by Josh Allen; the source notes it's tough to defend Palmer still ahead of rookie Skyler Bell given his injury history.

Finished with four catches for 82 yards and a touchdown; the source notes he impacts the offense beyond his numbers, drawing a holding penalty for a first down and making contested catches. However, he also fumbled once in the game.

Got involved early in the game with a pass from Josh Allen, reflecting Joe Brady's strategy to get Kincaid involved early in games to make the passing offense's job easier going forward; however, he also dropped a pass in the first quarter.

Injured his hand on his first pass attempt of the game, hitting Greg Rousseau's hand hard as he released the ball; appeared to be a thumb injury and he was ruled out, throwing only one pass all day before heading to the dressing room for X-rays.

Showed willingness to take checkdowns early; finished with seven carries for 30 yards and a 1-yard touchdown run, demonstrating both passing and rushing contributions in the dominant win.

Dropped a pass on the first play of the game despite having green space in front of him; finished with only two catches for 21 yards. His longest carry went for 16 yards and he finished with 21 carries for 80 yards, showing limited explosiveness in a game where the Bills dominated.

Caught three passes for 49 yards on the opening drive, showing early involvement in the Bills' offensive rhythm against Baltimore's talented defense.

Anthony Richardson said he's grateful to be able to play following his eye injury last season, via @​RomeovilleKid: "There were definitely times where I would go to the doctor and they would tell me they don’t know if I’m getting my vision back."

Rodgers completed 13 of 25 passes for 172 yards, no touchdowns and one interception in Week 8 against Cleveland; the Steelers won but the performance had little to do with Rodgers. He remains nothing more than a low-end QB2 in most fantasy leagues.

Joe Milton III is the third-string quarterback on the Eagles' depth chart. Milton is on his third team since the Patriots drafted him in the sixth round in 2024; New England traded him to the Dallas Cowboys in April, and the Eagles signed him off the Cowboys' practice squad on October 16 after Hurts' injury.

Cole Payton is the Eagles' second-string quarterback behind Tanner McKee. Payton is a fifth-round rookie out of North Dakota State and was a two-time FCS national champion with the Bison.

Tanner McKee will start at quarterback for the Philadelphia Eagles against the Washington Commanders on Sunday Night Football with Jalen Hurts sidelined. McKee has been with the Eagles since being drafted in the sixth round of the 2023 NFL Draft.

Jalen Hurts was diagnosed with deep vein thrombosis and bilateral pulmonary emboli (blood clots in both lungs) ahead of Week 6. He initially had a superficial vein thrombosis diagnosed while in London for Week 5 but was cleared to play; he later underwent imaging that revealed the clot had progressed to deep vein thrombosis with clots moving to his lungs—a potentially lethal situation. Treatment with blood thinners will disqualify him from contact activities for several months, and the expectation is he will miss at least the remainder of the 2026 season.

Washington out-touched Ashton Jeanty six to zero in the first quarter of Week 8, signaling either increased comfort with rookie Washington, a desire to limit Jeanty's workload, or both. The source notes it will be hard to predict the split when both backs are healthy, but at worst, Washington is an elite handcuff for Jeanty managers.

Hill is on the field for most of Baltimore's obvious passing situations and has played fewer than 40% of snaps only twice this season. In Week 8, with both Lamar Jackson and Tyler Huntley leaving the game, Hill was targeted eight times. The source recommends adding Hill in deep leagues (12+ teams), noting that his receiving work provides sufficient juice for value. Additionally, if Jackson returns soon while playing through injury, he may be more likely to check down to Hill under pressure rather than scramble.

Rodriguez is a trusted runner in Jacksonville with significant goal-line work, though he lacks pass-catching ability. The source identifies a favorable Week 9 matchup against Baltimore, who could be missing both Lamar Jackson and Tyler Huntley. If Baltimore is without both quarterbacks, Jacksonville would likely be heavy favorites and run-heavy, making Rodriguez a sneaky flex start.

BTJ, the 23rd overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft who caught 1,200+ yards as a rookie, has regressed to barely playing half of Jacksonville's offensive snaps. While he scored a touchdown in Week 8, the source is skeptical of a resurgence and suggests the only meaningful catalyst would be a trade to a better situation. The source advises against prioritizing BTJ unless willing to sit him until trade news emerges.

Smith is averaging 21 points per game over his last two games and has solid weapons around him on the Jets, but the source expresses concern about his upcoming schedule: Kansas City next weekend followed by Buffalo. The source states, 'I'm not stoked about starting Smith in either of those games,' indicating negative matchup outlook despite recent production.

Flournoy is evolving beyond a backup role for CeeDee Lamb or George Pickens; he's playing most of Dallas' offensive snaps on a team ranking in the top 10 in total yards per game. He caught a touchdown in Week 8. The source projects Flournoy as a flex option going forward, with significant upside if either Lamb or Pickens misses time.

Mitchell returned from a four-game absence last weekend with no catches, but bounced back dramatically in Week 8 with seven catches on nine targets for 142 yards and a touchdown. The source notes that if Mitchell has another big game next weekend, he will likely become unavailable on waiver wires, suggesting strong upside momentum and imminent roster scarcity.

Status alert: Courtland Sutton headed to medical tent Sunday.

Jaguars running back Bhayshul Tuten ripped through Indianapolis's defense and broke through three tackles for a 39-yard rushing touchdown in the first half, and later caught a 25-yard touchdown reception from Trevor Lawrence in the 42-7 victory.

Jaguars tight end Nate Boerkircher caught a 31-yard touchdown pass from Trevor Lawrence to stretch Jacksonville's lead to 14-0 in the 42-7 victory over Indianapolis.

Jaguars receiver Brian Thomas Jr. caught a 12-yard touchdown pass from Trevor Lawrence on the opening drive to give Jacksonville a lead they would never relinquish in the 42-7 victory over Indianapolis.

Jaguars tight end Brenton Strange caught a 46-yard reception on the opening drive that flipped the field and ignited Jacksonville's dominant 12-play, 103-yard scoring drive in the 42-7 victory over Indianapolis.

Colts backup quarterback Anthony Richardson entered the game in the fourth quarter of the 42-7 loss to Jacksonville and completed both of his passes for just eight yards, which the source notes matched his passing production over the last two seasons.

Colts rookie Seth McGowan rushed for 29 yards on five carries in the 42-7 loss to Jacksonville, including a 16-yard run, finishing with more rushing yards than star running back Jonathan Taylor (23 yards on 8 carries).

Daniel Jones was benched in garbage time after completing 19-of-28 passes for 144 yards, one touchdown, and two interceptions in the Colts' humiliating 42-7 loss to Jacksonville; the source notes the benching as 'the most obvious decision made' and criticizes the front office for committing to Jones with an $88 million contract extension following a season-ending Achilles injury.

Josh Downs fumbled on the Colts' lone drive that didn't result in a punt in the first half, but later caught a 6-yard touchdown pass from Daniel Jones in the third quarter to salvage the shutout in the 42-7 loss.

Star running back Jonathan Taylor rushed for a season-low 23 yards on eight carries in the Colts' 42-7 loss to Jacksonville; he is listed on the trading block ahead of the trade deadline, signaling potential front-office consideration of moving him despite his star status.

The backup quarterback entered the game in the final frame after Daniel Jones was benched in garbage time. Richardson completed both of his passes for just eight yards, which matched his passing production over the last two seasons, highlighting his lack of development or opportunity.

The rookie running back bulldozed his way for a 16-yard run as part of the Colts' only respectable offensive drive in the third quarter. McGowan finished with 29 rushing yards on five carries, accumulating more rushing yards than Jonathan Taylor (23 yards on eight carries) in the same game.

The Colts receiver was targeted by Daniel Jones over the middle for 18 yards as part of Indianapolis's only respectable offensive drive of 13 plays in the third quarter, which resulted in their lone touchdown.

The Colts tight end was targeted by Daniel Jones with 25 seconds remaining before halftime, but the timing of the throw was slightly early while the route was slightly slower than expected. The pass tipped off Warren's hands and was intercepted by Rayuan Lane III, who returned it 92 yards for a pick-six that gave Jacksonville an insurmountable lead.

The Jaguars running back ripped through the Colts defense for a 39-yard rushing touchdown with under two minutes remaining in the first half, breaking through three tackles. Tuten later added a 25-yard touchdown reception from Lawrence in the fourth quarter, finishing as a dual-threat contributor in Jacksonville's dominant victory.

The Jaguars tight end caught a 31-yard touchdown reception from Trevor Lawrence, extending Jacksonville's lead to 14-0 and contributing to the dominant first-half offensive performance.

The Jaguars receiver connected with Trevor Lawrence for a 12-yard touchdown reception on the opening drive, establishing Jacksonville's lead they would never relinquish in the dominant 42-7 victory.

The Jaguars tight end was a key target in Jacksonville's dominant opening drive, recording a 46-yard completion that flipped the field and ignited the 12-play, 103-yard scoring drive that set the tone for the game.

Downs coughed up a fumble on the Colts' lone first-half drive that didn't result in a punt, contributing to the offensive collapse. Later, he scored the Colts' only touchdown on a six-yard reception in the third quarter, connecting with Jones in the corner of the end zone as part of the team's only respectable offensive drive of 13 plays.

Jones was benched in garbage time after completing 19-of-28 passes for 144 passing yards, one touchdown, and two interceptions. The source criticizes the front office's decision to commit to Jones with an $88 million contract extension following a season-ending Achilles injury, suggesting the investment was ill-advised given his performance.

The seventh-year tailback is listed on the trading block after rushing for a season-low 23 yards on eight carries in the Colts' 42-7 loss to Jacksonville. Taylor opened the game with an explosive 19-yard run but was largely ineffective thereafter, with the source noting that McGowan finished with more rushing yards (29 on five carries) than Taylor in the same game.

Jonathan Taylor said teams will be "foaming at the mouth" to play the Colts, via @​HolderStephen:

Undrafted rookie Joe Fagnano, Baltimore's emergency No. 3 quarterback, played the rest of the game against Buffalo despite taking several hits from a ferocious Bills pass rush. Fagnano acknowledged he was not at 100% after some "bumps and bruises" but "hopes" to be ready to play on Thursday against Jacksonville, though the Ravens will likely need to add at least one quarterback in the coming days given the limited options available at this point of the season.

Backup quarterback Tyler 'Snoop' Huntley entered the game after Lamar Jackson's injury but hurt his toe partway through the second quarter and was ruled out shortly after halftime. Huntley left the stadium with a boot on his injured foot, per NFL Network's Cameron Wolfe, leaving his status uncertain ahead of Thursday's matchup with Jacksonville.

Lamar Jackson suffered a right thumb injury on his first snap back from a three-game ankle injury absence in Sunday's loss to Buffalo; he dropped back on play action, hit Bills edge rusher Greg Rousseau on his follow-through, and quickly left the field cradling his throwing hand. Head coach Jesse Minter announced Jackson will be placed on injured reserve to undergo surgery. Landing on IR will sideline Jackson for at least four games, but Minter said the injury could "potentially" be season-ending, indicating his absence figures to be much longer.

Undrafted rookie Joe Fagnano, Baltimore's emergency No. 3 quarterback, played the remainder of Sunday's game after both Jackson and Huntley exited with injuries; Fagnano acknowledged he was not at 100% after taking several hits from Buffalo's pass rush and suffering 'bumps and bruises,' but expressed hope to be ready for Thursday's matchup against Jacksonville.

Ravens backup QB Tyler 'Snoop' Huntley suffered a toe injury partway through the second quarter and was ruled out shortly after halftime; he left the stadium with a boot on his injured foot, and head coach Minter had no update on his status for Thursday's game against Jacksonville.

Ravens QB Lamar Jackson placed on injured reserve for right thumb surgery after suffering the injury on his first snap back from a three-week ankle absence; head coach Jesse Minter indicated the injury could 'potentially' be season-ending, with the minimum four-game IR stint likely to extend much longer.

Hall remained sidelined with a quad injury, opening the door for Braelon Allen to earn the start and deliver a career-best 147-yard, 2-TD performance. Hall's continued absence is a significant factor in Allen's elevated role and production.

Mitchell led all players with 142 receiving yards on 7 catches in a breakout performance, including a 47-yard reception that advanced the Jets to within two yards of field goal range in the fourth quarter. The 24-year-old has now recorded more than 58 receiving yards just one other time since joining the Jets via trade midway through last season, when he posted 102 yards in New York's 27-24 win over Atlanta on Nov. 11 of last year. Mitchell said after the game: 'I think we had a good week of practice, and I think the preparation just met the moment.'

Allen earned the start with Breece Hall sidelined by quad injury and delivered a career-best performance: 147 rushing yards (88.6% of Jets' 166 total rushing yards), 2 receptions, 6 receiving yards, and 2 touchdowns including a 21-yard rushing TD in the third quarter. This marked his third game this season with over 100 rushing yards. Head coach Aaron Glenn praised the performance: 'Braelon did a hell of a job. He had close to 150 yards, and I think that speaks for itself.' Allen briefly limped off with 10:49 remaining but returned two minutes later and finished the game.

The source reports that Knight exited Week 8 against the Cowboys after sustaining a concussion on a big hit and fumble. The source indicates Knight likely goes into concussion protocol and could miss Week 9 against the Seahawks. This injury removes him from the backfield picture and clears volume for Allgeier.

The source reports that Love exited Week 8 against the Cowboys after aggravating his ankle injury. The source notes that early in the game Love was getting most of the work but wasn't very effective and failed to convert at the goal line. Given how his ankle has been, the source suggests the Cardinals may consider shelving Love. This injury development opens the door for Allgeier to assume a larger role.

The source highlights that Allgeier had one of the best games of his career in Week 8 against the Cowboys, turning 16 touches into nearly 200 total yards and two scores. The source notes he caught the ball, made big plays, and did everything expected if Love were to miss time. With Love aggravating his ankle injury and Knight sustaining a concussion, Allgeier would likely receive significant volume going forward. The source states that if Knight and Love are sidelined, Allgeier would still be a decent RB3/flex option given the volume he'd receive, and long-term his outlook is pretty solid if the other backs can't get healthy. The source notes that while Week 9 against Seattle is a tough matchup, Allgeier would be active in the passing game, elevating his floor, and isn't a bad player to target via trade before the deadline if the price is right.
