| 10/16/2025 10:27:00 AM | Dolphins special teams coordinator Craig Aukerman said Thursday that he's uncertain if Sanders (hip) is close to returning to action or if the kicker will be activated from injured reserve this season, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports. |
| After sustaining a hip injury late in the preseason, Sanders was placed on IR with a designation for return. According to Jackson, Sanders' original recovery timeline was expected to range from 4-to-5 weeks, but because he's now about six weeks removed from suffering the injury and not yet praccticing, the veteran kicker may have experienced some sort of setback along the way. The Dolphins don't appear eager to rush Sanders back to the field, especially with Riley Patterson having filled in admirably in his stead through the first six weeks of the season. One of the few bright spots for the 1-5 Dolphins, Patterson has gone 15-for-15 on extra-point attempts and 7-for-8 on field-goal tries, with his lone miss coming from 57 yards out in this past Sunday's 29-27 loss to the Chargers. | |
| 10/15/2025 9:16:00 PM | The NFL's one-game suspension of Branch was upheld Wednesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports. |
| Branch was suspended for one game after getting into an altercation with multiple Chiefs players after their game in Week 6, and his appeal of the decision was unsuccessful. In his absence, Thomas Harper projects to start at safety alongside Kerby Joseph in Week 7. Branch should be eligible to return to game action in Week 9 versus the Vikings after Detroit's Week 8 bye. | |
| 10/15/2025 5:11:00 PM | Harrison (concussion) was limited at Wednesday's walkthrough, Zach Gershman of the Cardinals' official site reports. |
| Harrison was diagnosed with a concussion during this past Sunday's loss at Indianapolis, and while Jonathan Gannon told Dani Sureck of the team's official site on Wednesday that the second-year wide receiver remains in the protocol for head injuries, his limited listing indicates he at least has made some progress through it. In order to play Sunday against the Packers, though, Harrison will need to gain clearance from an independent neurologist. Arizona's receiving corps is particularly banged up at the moment, as Michael Wilson (foot, limited) and Zay Jones (knee, DNP) also are tending to injuries. | |
| 10/15/2025 5:08:00 PM | Olave was a limited practice participant Wednesday due to a hip injury. |
| It's the first report this season of any limitations in practice, likely reflecting a new injury suffered during Sunday's 25-19 loss to the Patriots. Olave's practice participation at the start of Week 7, even in a limited capacity, suggests he's on track to play this Sunday against the Bears. He's accounted for a whopping 32.2 percent of New Orleans' targets this season, but with meager averages of 8.8 yards per catch and 5.3 yards per target. Olave did finally hit on a big play this past Sunday, catching a deep pass for 53 yards on the first snap of the game against New England. | |
| 10/15/2025 4:24:00 PM | Coach Kyle Shanahan said Jones (knee/oblique) will be limited at practice Wednesday, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports. |
| Jones will be joined on the practice field by No. 1 QB Brock Purdy (toe), though the latter will be more limited than the former, according to what Shanahan told Matt Barrows of The Athletic. It's unknown if that means Jones has better odds than Purdy to continue leading the 49ers offense Week 7, but Purdy at least has put himself in a position to see his first game action since Week 4. In four starts in place of Purdy this season, Jones has completed 113 of 168 passes (67.3 percent) for 1,252 yards, six touchdowns and three interceptions, rushed 16 times for 23 yards and fumbled three times (one lost). | |
| 10/15/2025 4:10:00 PM | Head coach Kyle Shanahan said Purdy (toe) will be a limited participant at Wednesday's practice, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports. |
| Purdy has been battling a turf toe injury for most of the season, sitting out Weeks 2 and 3 and 5 and 6 as a result. He was able to log conditioning work on the side last Thursday, and Shanahan told Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com on Monday that Purdy would be evaluated Wednesday to see if taking part in practice was possible. Now that Purdy has resumed on-field work, Shanahan said Purdy is more limited than backup quarterback Mac Jones (knee/oblique), per Matt Barrows of The Athletic. It's unclear if that means Jones is a better bet than Purdy to start Sunday's game against the Falcons, but the latter at least is putting himself in a position to return to action. | |
| 10/14/2025 9:36:00 PM | Werner registered five tackles, including 1.0 sacks, and a defensed pass in a loss to New England on Sunday. |
| Werner finished tied for third on the Saints in stops in the defeat. Among his tackles was a fourth-quarter sack of Patriots QB Drake Maye. Werner has already established a career high with 2.0 sacks through six games this season. | |
| 10/14/2025 7:42:00 PM | Franklin posted nine tackles (six solo) in Sunday's 31-27 win over the Cardinals. |
| Franklin finished second on the Colts in tackles behind newcomer Germaine Pratt (11). Franklin's nine stops set a new campaign-high mark, but he's yet to reach double-digit stops in a contest after doing so eight times over 17 games last season. Franklin has 37 tackles (including 1.0 sacks) through six games, which is well below the pace needed to approach last year's league-leading total of 173 stops. | |
| 10/14/2025 5:19:00 PM | Head coach Sean McDermott said Tuesday that Bernard is considered "day-to-day" due to an ankle injury he sustained during the Bills' 24-14 loss to the Falcons on Monday, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports. |
| Bernard played 41 snaps (38 on defense, three on special teams) and tallied four tackles (two solo) prior to his injury. The Bills are on a bye for Week 7, so it's possible that the fourth-year linebacker is available for the Bills' Week 8 road clash against the Panthers on Sunday, Oct. 26. With Shaq Thompson filling in for the injured Matt Milano (pectoral), Joe Andreessen would be a candidate to see more snaps on defense if Bernard were to be sidelined. | |
| 10/13/2025 11:30:00 PM | Allgeier carried the ball 10 times for 32 yards and a touchdown while catching his only target for six yards in Monday's 24-14 win over the Bills. |
| Allgeier got involved in the box score early with a 21-yard touchdown scamper on Atlanta's opening possession. The talented backup then took a back seat to starter Bijan Robinson, who ripped apart Buffalo's defense to the tune of 238 yards and a score of his own. Allgeier has generated some flex appeal after hitting pay dirt thrice over his last four appearances. There is a four-yard dud nestled in between, so fantasy managers should also be aware of Allgeier's drastic floor ahead of Sunday's tilt against San Francisco. | |
| 10/13/2025 10:53:00 PM | Robinson took 19 carries for 170 yards and a touchdown while adding six receptions (on eight targets) for 68 yards in Monday's 24-14 win over the Bills. |
| Fresh off of recording a new career high in total yardage (181) in the Falcons' last win, Robinson wasted no time setting a new high-water mark with 238 yards from scrimmage against the Bills. The majority of the fantasy star's production came on the ground this time around, with Monday's 170 rushing yards representing another career best. Robinson is providing a whopping 164.4 combined yards per game for his managers this season. To put that into perspective, the Texas product averaged 111.0 total yards per game over the course of his breakout fantasy campaign in 2024. Robinson's domination of opposing defenses should continue Week 7 against a 49ers defense that will be without star players Fred Warner (ankle) and Nick Bosa (knee). | |
| 10/13/2025 10:33:00 PM | Allen completed 15 of 26 passes for 180 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions and rushed six times for 42 yards in the Bills' 24-14 loss to the Falcons on Monday night. He also committed two fumbles, neither of which were lost. |
| Allen's final line tells the tale of a difficult night against a well-rested and aggressive Falcons defense fueled by its home crowd. Despite his signature mobility, Allen was sacked four times, and he also tossed multiple interceptions for the first time this season, including a game-sealing pick at Atlanta's 7-yard line with 51 seconds remaining. The reigning NFL MVP's yardage total also was his second lowest of the season, and the fact he went into the contest without Dalton Kincaid (oblique) and Curtis Samuel (neck/ribs) before also losing Joshua Palmer to an ankle injury in the first half certainly didn't help Allen's cause. Buffalo now gets a much-needed bye following back-to-back losses before returning to action against the Panthers in Carolina on Sunday, Oct. 26. | |
| 10/13/2025 1:10:00 PM | Oluokun recorded nine total tackles (six solo) and one pass defended in Sunday's 20-12 loss to the Seahawks. |
| The veteran inside linebacker from Yale played 100 percent of the Jaguars' defensive snaps and led his team in total tackles for the second consecutive week. Oluokun has now tallied 53 total tackles, including 1.0 sacks, three passes defended and two forced fumbles through Jacksonville's first six games this season. He's expected to remain one of the league's top defensive playmakers in the Week 7 matchup against the Rams. | |
| 10/13/2025 1:16:00 AM | Tuten carried twice for 14 yards and caught two of three targets for 14 yards during Sunday's 20-12 loss to the Seahawks. |
| The rookie fourth-round pick continues to operate as Jacksonville's No. 2 tailback but saw his smallest workload since the season opener Sunday. Tuten showcased his potential upside in Week 2 with 10 touches for 74 yards, but in the ensuing four contests he's totaled just 16 carries for 55 yards and four receptions for 27 yards. He's likely to remain in a limited role as long as Travis Etienne remains healthy. | |
| 10/13/2025 12:56:00 AM | Badgley made his only field-goal attempt and went 4-for-4 on PATs in Sunday's 31-27 win over the Cardinals. |
| Badgley was signed by the Colts earlier in the week, replacing Spencer Shrader (knee) as the team's starting kicker after Shrader was placed on injured reserve with a season-ending knee injury. Badgley made a 45-yard field goal in the third quarter, tying up the game at 17-17. The kicker is familiar with Lucas Oil Stadium, having gone 18-for-21 on field-goal tries over 12 games with Indianapolis in 2021, and he'll look to build off of his Week 6 performance moving forward. | |
| 10/12/2025 10:55:00 PM | Patterson went 2-for-3 on field-goal tries and made all three of his extra-point attempts in Sunday's 29-27 loss to the Chargers. |
| Patterson missed a 57-yard field-goal attempt wide right in the second quarter before making field goals from 47 and 27 yards later in the quarter. The kicker had been used sparingly over five weeks entering Sunday's matchup, and he's now gone 7-for-8 on field-goal attempts over six games this year. | |
| 10/12/2025 10:45:00 PM | Tucker had five receptions on as many targets for 70 yards in Sunday's 20-10 win over the Titans. |
| Tucker finished as the Raiders' leading receiver on a low-volume day from the passing offense. The 24-year-old finished with a receiving line somewhere in between the highs and lows we had seen over his previous five appearances. The overall package has been a net positive from the speedy wideout after producing a 24-356-4 line through six starts. Tucker provides enough upside to warrant a spot in most fantasy lineups ahead of next Sunday's tilt against Kansas City. | |
| 10/12/2025 9:51:00 PM | Pollard carried the ball 10 times for 34 yards while adding two receptions for 13 yards in Sunday's 20-10 loss to Las Vegas. |
| Pollard finished with his worst fantasy score of the season in a seemingly promising matchup against the Raiders defense. The veteran starter still led Tennessee's backfield with 10 carries, finishing five ahead of backup Tyjae Spears. Pollard's reduced touches were rather the result of a poor game script as opposed to a changing of the guard in Tennessee's backfield. Fantasy managers should continue treating Pollard as a potential flex option against the Patriots next Sunday. | |
| 10/12/2025 12:27:00 PM | There was no "private meeting" between Brown, Jalen Hurts and Saquon Barkley as initially reported elsewhere, Jay Glazer reported on Fox NFL Sunday. Instead, Brown saw Hurts and Barkley talking in the parking lot and walked over to join them. |
| This comes with the territory for a big market team that's the defending Super Bowl champs, but the drama surrounding the Eagles' key offensive players has been exhausting. However, it's prudent to remember how the Eagles' offense was also off-kilter at this point in the season last year, too. | |
| 10/10/2025 10:43:00 PM | Burns recorded seven tackles (three solo), including 2.0 sacks, in Thursday's 24-17 win over the Eagles. |
| Burns was chasing Jalen Hurts throughout the contest, as four of his tackles came against the quarterback. He recorded multiple sacks for the second time this season, bringing his total on the campaign to 7.0. Burns is having a far more productive second season with the Giants and is pacing toward a career-best year. | |
| 10/10/2025 10:28:00 AM | Tracy rushed four times for six yards and wasn't targeted in Thursday's 34-17 win over the Eagles. |
| Tracy returned from a two-game absence due to a shoulder injury but ceded the vast majority of backfield opportunities to Cam Skattebo, who turned 21 touches into 110 yards from scrimmage and three touchdowns. Tracy was on the field for 21 offensive snaps compared to only four for Devin Singletary, but Skattebo led the backfield with 49 snaps in addition to getting the lion's share of rushing opportunities. With Skattebo finding success in a workhorse role, Tracy likely will be relegated to a change-of-pace role moving forward. | |
| 10/7/2025 5:04:00 PM | The Colts placed Shrader (knee) on injured reserve Tuesday, Amanda Foster of the Colts' official site reports. |
| His move to IR opens up room on the 53-man roster for Michael Badgley, whom the Colts signed to step in as their new kicker in place of Shrader, who will miss the rest of the season after suffering ACL and MCL tears to his right knee in Sunday's 40-6 win over the Raiders. The Notre Dame product had gotten off to an excellent start to the season, converting 13 of 14 field-goal attempts and 14 of 14 extra-point tries en route to an NFL-leading 53 points through the first five weeks. Shrader is under contract through 2026 and should have the inside track on the kicking job heading into next season if he's able to bounce back well from knee surgery. | |
| 10/7/2025 11:23:00 AM | Texans general manager Nick Caserio suggested Tuesday that Mixon's (foot/ankle) availability for the 2025 season hasn't yet been determined, but Houston expects to have more clarity on that front in the next three or four weeks, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports. |
| Caserio's comments during his press conference mark the first time that a member of the Houston brass has addressed Mixon's status since the start of the regular season. The veteran running back was placed on the non-football injury list ahead of training camp after getting hurt during an individual workout in the spring, and the Texans have been non-committal on a timeline for his return ever since. Given that the Texans aren't yet hinting that Mixon will even resume practicing in the near future, the 29-year-old doesn't look like he's on track to be an option in the Houston backfield until late in the season, if at all. The Texans are likely to continue to lean on a timeshare of Nick Chubb and rookie Woody Marks at running back for the foreseeable future. | |
| 10/5/2025 1:37:00 PM | Addison secured five of six targets for 41 yards and a touchdown in the Vikings' 21-17 win over the Browns in London on Sunday. |
| Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com reported Addison was subject to a first-quarter benching for undisclosed reasons, but the third-year wideout ultimately would make up for lost time in clutch fashion. Addison was efficient with his opportunities, and the bulk of those came at the tail end of the Vikings' game-winning drive late in the fourth quarter. Addison was on the receiving end of each of Carson Wentz's final three completions and totaled 21 yards on those catches, the last which was a go-ahead 12-yard touchdown grab. For his part, Addison conceded afterward that he wasn't sure if he'd even be able to play in the game, per Seifert, but he made good on his vow to be ready if he did step on the field. Following the completion of his season-opening three-game suspension, Addison has immediately played a key part in Minnesota's air attack with a 9-155-1 line on 14 targets over his first two contests. He'll now prepare to play his first 2025 game stateside following the Week 6 bye when the Vikings host the Eagles on Sunday, Oct. 19 in a contest that could also provide Addison his first regular-season opportunity to work with J.J. McCarthy (ankle) as his quarterback. | |
| 10/5/2025 11:48:00 AM | Lawrence (illness) is active for Sunday's game in New Orleans, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports. |
| Despite not practicing in any capacity during Week 5 prep due to an illness, Lawrence will be available to the Giants defense Sunday. Whether he'll be able to handle his typical workload of roughly two thirds of the defensive snaps remains to be seen, but he's managed just nine tackles and the first interception of his seven-year career through four contests this season. | |
| 10/2/2025 5:44:00 PM | The 49ers signed Martinez from the practice squad to the active roster ahead of Thursday's game against the Rams. |
| Martinez was elevated from the 49ers' practice squad to the active roster for Week 2 and 3 to serve as Mac Jones' backup in the absence of Brock Purdy (toe). Purdy returned for Week 4 against the Jaguars but has been ruled out for Thursday's game in Los Angeles, so Martinez will once again be the QB2 while Jones makes his third start of the regular season. | |
| 9/30/2025 8:40:00 PM | Parsons tallied three tackles (one solo), including 1.0 sacks, during Green Bay's 40-40 tie to Dallas on Sunday. |
| Parsons was able to overcome a lingering back injury to play Sunday against the team that selected him in the first round of the 2021 NFL Draft. He was quiet for most of the night, but he was credited for a crucial sack on Dak Prescott while the Cowboys were in the red zone, which led to a Brandon Aubrey 22-yard field goal two plays later. The Packers are on a bye for Week 5, so the extra week off should help Parsons with his back issue that stemmed from training camp. He's up to 2.5 sacks through four games, and he'll look to add to that total in the Packers' Week 6 tilt against the Bengals on Sunday, Oct. 12. | |
| 8/26/2025 9:14:00 PM | Rourke (knee) was placed on the reserve/non-football injury list Tuesday. |
| Rourke played his entire final season at Indiana on a torn ACL but managed to throw for 3,042 yards, 29 touchdowns and five interceptions through 12 games, vaulting the Hoosiers to the College Football Playoff. He underwent surgery Jan. 8 and was subsequently drafted in the seventh round by the 49ers. Due to his recovery, he didn't participate in rookie camp or training camp, and he'll be required to miss at least four games due to his placement on the NFI list. The 49ers can take their time with his recovery as long as Brock Purdy and Mac Jones (knee) are upright, as Rourke projects for the No. 3 role upon return. | |
| 8/9/2025 5:28:00 PM | Trubisky completed nine of 13 passes for 138 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's 34-25 preseason loss to the Giants. |
| With Josh Allen held out, Trubisky got the start and played the entire first half, capping his performance with an 11-yard TD toss to Dawson Knox in the second quarter. Trubisky is currently in the No. 2 QB spot for the Bills -- veteran Mike White is the No. 3 -- a role that afforded the former only 26 pass attempts over nine regular-season appearances in 2024, with most of that volume coming in a Week 18 start when nothing was on the line for Buffalo. | |
