| 10/21/2026 8:57:00 PM | Thomas (ankle) did not participate in Wednesday's practice, Corbin K. Smith of EmeraldCitySpectrum.com reports. |
| Thomas has not participated in an on-field practice since sustaining his ankle injury in the Seahawks' Week 5 loss to the 49ers. The linebacker remains sidelined due to the injury, leaving Tyrice Knight (oblique) likely to fill in once again next to Ernest Jones in Sunday's game against the Chiefs. | |
| 10/21/2026 7:22:00 PM | Waddle was limited at Wednesday's practice due to a chest injury, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports. |
| Waddle missed a brief spell in last Thursday's win against the Seahawks due to a shoulder injury, finishing Week 6 with four catches (on seven targets) for 24 yards. Almost one week later, he's tending to a chest issue, meaning his status will be watched closely as the weekend draws closer. | |
| 10/21/2026 7:14:00 PM | Schwesinger (ankle) did not participate at practice Wednesday, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports. |
| Schwesinger was able to play through his lingering ankle injury in Week 6 versus the Ravens, recording a season-high 13 total tackles in that game. The Browns may simply be exercising an abundance of caution, but Schwesinger's activity at practice as the week continues will still be worth keeping an eye on ahead of Sunday's contest at Tennessee. | |
| 10/20/2026 10:26:00 PM | Werner recorded 11 total tackles (five solo), including 1.0 sacks, while also adding a pass defensed during Sunday's 34-27 win over the Giants. |
| Werner was able to register double-digit stops for the second straight week and third time overall this season. The linebacker was also able to get to the quarterback in Week 6, sacking Jameis Winston in the second quarter. Through six games so far this year, Werner has compiled 46 total tackles (23 solo), including 2.0 sacks, while also producing two passes defensed. | |
| 10/20/2026 8:55:00 PM | McGowan took four carries for 27 yards during Sunday's 26-20 loss versus the Titans. |
| McGowan played exactly 19 offensive snaps for the third straight week Sunday, and, although he was slightly less involved than he has been of late in terms of touches, he managed a career-best 6.8 yards per carry in Week 6. He's merely a change-of-pace back as long as three-time Pro Bowler Jonathan Taylor is healthy, but he has the physical traits to become a workhorse should that not be the case at any point this season. | |
| 10/19/2026 10:27:00 PM | Smack made all three of his field-goal attempts and both of his extra-point tries during Green Bay's win over the Cowboys on Sunday. |
| Smack had a solid bounce-back performance after missing two field goals and an extra point during the Week 5 win over the Bears. The 23-year-old now has made 10 of his 13 field-goal attempts and 11 of his 13 extra-point tries across the first six games of his rookie campaign. | |
| 10/19/2026 7:53:00 PM | Doubs (shoulder) is hopeful to return after the Patriots' Week 11 bye and isn't expected to face a long-term absence, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports. |
| With Doubs already on injured reserve, this report offers a more encouraging timeline after Sunday's shoulder injury. He'll still need to miss at least four games, but a possible return after the bye would keep the Patriots from being without one of their key wide receivers for an extended stretch. Efton Chism and Kyle Williams will be in line for increased snaps alongside A.J. Brown and slot man DeMario Douglas with Doubs sidelined. | |
| 10/19/2026 5:14:00 PM | Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said that Parsons (knee) won't practice in Week 7, Weston Hodkiewicz of the team's official site reports. "He has to clear some hurdles yet before we get to that point," LaFleur said. |
| With Green Bay not yet ready to open Parsons' 21-day practice window this week, the star edge rusher can safely be ruled out from making his 2026 debut Sunday in Detroit. LaFleur isn't dismissing the possibility of Parsons playing Week 8 versus the Panthers, though because that game will be a Thursday night matchup, the five-time Pro Bowler may face an uphill battle to gain clearance. At this point, the Packers' Week 9 matchup with the Patriots on Nov. 8 looks to be a more realistic target for Parsons to make his return to action, after his 2025 season came to an end when he tore his ACL on Dec. 14. | |
| 10/19/2026 2:25:00 AM | Swift rushed 16 times for 44 yards and two touchdowns and brought in four of five targets for 26 yards in the Bears' 31-23 win over the Falcons on Sunday. |
| The Falcons' front did a good job on Swift overall, but the veteran running back was able to offset his average of 2.8 yards per carry with four- and two-yard touchdown runs in the first half. Swift was playing without Kyle Monangai (toe) for the second straight game, and the former did function as the clear lead back before Roschon Johnson saw more work as the contest unfolded. Swift has half his six rush TDs on the season in the last pair of contests, but he could see his workload take somewhat of a hit if Monangai is able to return for Thursday night's home contest against the Patriots. | |
| 10/18/2026 10:45:00 PM | Lemon caught three of six targets for 19 yards in Sunday's 25-14 loss to the Panthers. |
| The rookie wideout briefly exited Week 6 with an undisclosed injury but quickly returned and ended up running a team-high 45 routes on Tanner McKee's 49 dropbcks. It still didn't result in much production, as Lemon's six targets were a distant third on the team. The first-round wide receiver has just 18 catches for 127 yards and no touchdowns on 28 targets through six games. He can't be trusted as a fantasy starter headed into next Monday night's game against the Cowboys. | |
| 10/18/2026 8:57:00 PM | Nabers caught 12 of 15 targets for 165 yards in Sunday's 34-27 loss to the Saints. |
| Jameis Winston got benched in favor of J.J. McCarthy in the fourth quarter after throwing his second interception of the day, but Nabers stayed busy no matter who was under center for the Giants, leading the team in catches, targets and receiving yards. The third-year wideout topped 100 yards for a third straight game, a stretch in which he's racked up a 29-398-2 line on 42 targets, but a potential full-time switch to McCarthy under center will create a little extra uncertainty for Nabers heading into a Week 7 tilt against the Texans. | |
| 10/18/2026 8:51:00 PM | Mahomes completed 23 of 30 passes for 272 yards, no touchdowns and one interception and rushed five times for 16 yards during Sunday's 22-6 win versus the Chargers. |
| The Chiefs offense continues to be the Kenneth Walker show, as the No. 1 RB reeled off 100-plus rushing yards for the fourth time in five appearances to begin his tenure with the team. Meanwhile, Mahomes failed to record a touchdown pass for the first time this season after tossing multiple TDs in each of the first four contests. Considering Kansas City's receiving corps is particularly ravaged by injuries at the moment, the offense may continue to lean more on Walker's legs than Mahomes' right arm next Sunday at Seattle. | |
| 10/18/2026 8:29:00 PM | Walker ripped off 128 yards and two touchdowns on 19 carries and added two catches (on three targets) for 11 yards during Sunday's 22-6 win against the Chargers. |
| Following the Chiefs' Week 5 bye, Walker continued his early-season momentum with his new team, surpassing 100 yards on the ground for the fourth time in five games in a different uniform than the Seahawks. He now boasts 133.0 rushing yards per game, which prorated over a 17-game slate (2,261) would easily go past Eric Dickerson's NFL record 2,105 from the 1984 campaign and also mark the 10th 2,000-yard season in the history of the league. Walker's next chance to strike occurs next Sunday when he visits his former teammates in Seattle. | |
| 10/18/2026 1:17:00 PM | Stroud completed 24 of 34 passes for 312 yards and three touchdowns with one interception in Sunday's 34-31 win over the Jaguars. He added five yards on his only carry. |
| With Marvin Harrison making his Texans debut, Stroud spread the ball around to 10 different pass catchers as he set a new season high in TD passes and topped 300 yards for the third time in six games. The QB did throw his first INT of the season at a potentially crucial time, getting picked off by Travis Hunter in the end zone in the fourth quarter, but Stroud made up for it by putting together a game-winning field goal drive as time expired on his next possession. He'll take a 9:1 TD:INT into a Week 7 clash with the Giants. | |
| 10/16/2026 12:08:00 AM | Wilson rushed 14 times for 52 yards and failed to bring in his only target in the Seahawks' 17-14 overtime loss to the Broncos on Thursday. |
| Wilson had 12 of his 14 carries in regulation while once again serving as the Seahawks' lead back, and he averaged under 4.0 yards per rush attempt for the fourth straight game. He was held without a catch for the first time in three contests, however, capping his overall fantasy production in the low-scoring defeat. Zach Charbonnet (knee) has been back at practice for the last two weeks and must be activated from the reserve/PUP list by next Thursday to avoid having to miss the rest of the season, so Wilson's days in a meaningful role appear to be drawing to a close. | |
| 10/15/2026 11:49:00 PM | Smith-Njigba brought in 12 of 16 targets for 134 yards in the Seahawks' 17-14 overtime loss to the Broncos on Thursday. |
| Despite the Broncos being down Pat Surtain (ankle) and Talanoa Hufanga (ankle), Smith-Njigba and the Seahawks' air attack as a whole couldn't get much going through the first half-plus of play. The All-Pro receiver turned it on in the later portion of the contest, however, and he ultimately finished with season highs in receptions and targets, along with his second-highest amount of receiving yards. Smith-Njigba already has five 100-yard efforts in his first six games of the season, and his tendency to dominate Sam Darnold's attention once again will make him an elite option in all formats during a Week 7 Sunday night home showdown against Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs on Sunday, Oct. 25. | |
| 10/12/2026 12:20:00 PM | Bates made his lone field-goal attempt and converted on all six of his extra-point tries during Sunday's 45-21 win over the Cardinals. |
| The Lions' offense scoring six touchdowns, three on the ground and three through the air, so most of Bates' work came on extra points and kickoffs, though he also connected on a 46-yard field-goal late in the second quarter to give the Lions a 24-7 lead. Bates has attempted one field goal in four of the first five games of the regular season, although his 20 extra-point makes leads the NFL. The Lions are on a bye for Week 6, so their next game will take place Week 7 at home against the Packers on Sunday, Oct. 25. | |
| 10/6/2026 9:15:00 PM | Hill tallied eight tackles (three solo) during the Titans' 24-18 loss to the Ravens on Sunday. |
| Hill once again played every single defensive snap, and he co-led the Titans in tackles Sunday with Cody Barton. Hill, a rookie second-rounder out of Texas, is up to 42 total tackles through four regular-season games, which is third-most in the NFL behind Alex Singleton (47) and fellow rookie Jacob Rodriguez (46). The Titans will head back home for Week 5 to face the Texans, who are also winless to open the 2026 season. | |
| 10/5/2026 11:41:00 PM | Claiborne carried the ball three times for 12 yards during Minnesota's win over the Dolphins on Sunday. |
| Claiborne continued to serve a limited role behind Aaron Jones even with Jordan Mason (thumb) on injured reserve. Claiborne will look to be more involved offensively during next week's matchup versus the Saints. | |
| 10/2/2026 9:51:00 PM | Queen made five tackles (three solo) in Thursday night's 27-24 loss to the Browns. |
| Queen played all 62 of the Steelers' defensive snaps in the contest. The linebacker has continued his perfect streak, participating in all 234 defensive plays for the team through four regular-season contests in 2026. Queen's five tackles were middle-of-the-pack on the night, but that total fell well below the linebacker's 13 tackles in Week 3. | |
| 9/29/2026 11:46:00 PM | Barnes registered eight tackles (five solo) and a defensed pass Sunday in a 31-24 victory against the Jets. |
| Barnes tied with D.J. Reed for the second-most tackles on Detroit behind Christian Izien (11). Barnes has been consistent to begin the campaign, recording between six and eight stops in each of his three games so far. He also has 2.0 sacks on the campaign, halfway to his career-high total over 17 regular-season contests last year. | |
| 9/22/2026 10:02:00 PM | Ponder logged five tackles (three solo), including 1.0 sacks, and recovered a fumble he returned for a touchdown in Sunday's 20-3 win over the Steelers. |
| Ponder recovered an Aaron Rodgers fumble and took it 19 yards for a touchdown to extend the Patriots' 13-3 lead to the game-winning 20-3 score. The outside linebacker played 77 percent of the team's defensive snaps in the contest. | |
| 8/22/2026 11:55:00 PM | Fields completed nine of 12 passes for 64 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions and rushed once for 15 yards in the Chiefs' 16-15 preseason loss to the Buccaneers on Saturday. He also committed a fumble recovered by Kansas City. |
| Fields drew the start due to Patrick Mahomes being inactive and got his night off to a sluggish start, moving the Chiefs just 30 yards on 12 plays over the first three drives. However, the veteran signal-caller found his rhythm in the second quarter, when he led Kansas City to a field goal via an 11-play, 43-yard march on what turned out to be his final possession. Fields is set to operate as the No. 2 quarterback come the regular season, serving as a highly mobile and experienced emergency option should injury befall Mahomes again. | |

| 8/16/2026 5:14:00 PM | Allen (hamstring) was a full participant in Sunday's practice, Kevin Bowen of 107.5 The Fan Indianapolis reports. |
| Allen suffered a hamstring injury in early August, sustaining the injury just days after returning to practice from a calf issue. The rookie second-rounder is finally ready to resume team activities and continue preparing for his role as the starting middle linebacker. Allen's return means Austin Ajiake and West Weeks will likely see fewer opportunities in Saturday's preseason game against the Falcons. | |
| 7/17/2026 9:20:00 PM | Mills is expected to reprise his role as the Texans' backup quarterback behind C.J. Stroud and ahead of Graham Mertz for the 2026 season, Jared Koch of SI.com reports. |
| Mills has served as the Texans' QB2 for each of the past two seasons, but he started in three games during the 2025 season while Stroud was sidelined due to a concussion. Mills led the Texans to wins in all three of his starts, completing 59.5 percent of his passes for 719 yards, five touchdowns and one interception while turning seven carries into 38 yards and a score in that span. Stroud hasn't had the same kind of production over the past two years as he did in his rookie campaign in 2023, and he committed seven turnovers across Houston's two playoff games. If Stroud has a slow start to the 2026 season, then that could be enough for head coach DeMeco Ryans to turn the keys to the offense over to Mills. | |
