Caleb Williams CHI QBBears' Caleb Williams: Remains starting QB
12h agoHead coach Matt Eberflus confirmed Wednesday that Williams will remain the Bears' starting quarterback for Sunday's game against the Packers, Kevin Fishbain of The Athletic reports.
The Bears have lost each of their three games following their Week 7 bye, and Williams has taken a step backward in his development after he had completed 74.1 percent of his passes for 530 yards and a 6:1 TD:INT in the two games prior to the bye. Since the bye week, Williams has completed just 50.5 percent of his throws for 4.9 yards per attempt while committing one turnover (a lost fumble) and taking 18 sacks. Despite those struggles, Williams didn't look to be in any immediate danger of losing his starting job, but after the Bears fired offensive coordinator Shane Waldron on Tuesday, Ebeflus reaffirmed that the No. 1 overall pick wouldn't be benched for 2023 undrafted free agent Tyson Bagent. Bears passing game coordinator Thomas Brown is now set to take over as the interim offensive coordinator, and while Williams has nowhere to go but up following the coaching staff shakeup, he'll still represent a volatile fantasy option heading into a Week 11 matchup with Green Bay. Williams and the Bears will face a tough road over their final eight contests of the season, as a Week 17 game against the 4-5 Seahawks is Chicago's only matchup left with a team that's currently under .500.

Yetur Gross-Matos SF DE49ers' Yetur Gross-Matos: Logs full practice Wednesday
13h agoGross-Matos (knee) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.
Wednesday was Gross-Matos' first full practice since his 21-day practice window to return from injured reserve opened Nov. 6. If he's able to practice without limitations over the next two days, he could be activated off IR ahead of Sunday's game against the Seahawks.
-
Renardo Green SF CB49ers' Renardo Green: Full practice participant Wednesday
13h agoGreen (toe) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.
Green is considered day-to-day due to a toe injury he sustained in this past Sunday's 23-20 win over the Buccaneers. Wednesday's full practice doesn't mean the rookie second-round pick is 100 percent over the issue, but if he's able to practice in full over the next two days, then he'll have no concerns heading into Sunday's game against the Seahawks. Green has logged 20 tackles (12 solo), four pass defenses (including one interception) and one forced fumble over nine regular-season games.
-
Charvarius Ward SF CB49ers' Charvarius Ward: Doesn't practice Wednesday
13h agoWard (personal) was listed as a DNP on Wednesday.
Ward remains away from the team due to a serious personal matter, and it's unclear whether he'll return for Week 11 against the Seahawks. If Ward is sidelined for Sunday's game, Renardo Green would likely start at corner for a second straight game alongside Isaac Yiadom.
-
Chris Conley SF WR49ers' Chris Conley: Limited to open week
13h agoConley (hamstring) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.
Conley injured his hamstring in Week 8 against Dallas, and even with San Francisco on a bye for Week 9, the injury was severe enough for him to be sidelined this past Sunday against Tampa Bay. He was unable to practice all of last week, so his ability to participate in a limited capacity Wednesday indicates that he's trending in the right direction. Conley will have two more chances this week to increase his practice participation ahead of Sunday's game against Seattle.
-
Pat O'Donnell SF PPat O'Donnell: Joins 49ers' practice squad
13h agoO'Donnell was signed to the 49ers' practice squad Wednesday.
O'Donnell was brought in to provide San Francisco with a contingency plan at punter with starter Mitch Wishnowsky (back) missing the team's first practice of the week Wednesday. O'Donnell will likely be elevated to the active roster if Wishnowsky cannot play Sunday versus the Seahawks.

Griffin Jax MIN RPTwins' Griffin Jax: Move to rotation not ruled out
16h agoTwins bench coach Jayce Tingler indicated in a recent interview that the team is open to the possibility of moving Jax into the rotation, Mike Ferrin of MLB Network Radio reports.
Jax came up through the minors as a starting pitcher and made 14 starts for the Twins in 2021, posting a 6.10 ERA. He's since turned into a lockdown reliever, most recently collecting a 2.03 ERA and 95:15 K:BB over 71 innings this season. With a five-pitch mix and past starting experience, Jax would seem more equipped for a shift to the rotation than most relievers. The question, of course, is whether the uptick in stuff since his move to relief would translate back to a starting role.
-
Daniel Duarte MIN RPTwins' Daniel Duarte: Re-signed to minors deal
22h agoThe Twins re-signed Duarte (elbow) to a minor-league contract on Nov. 6.
Duarte was outrighted off the 40-man roster but will remain in the organization while he rehabs from UCL revision surgery. The righty reliever is expected to miss most of the 2025 season.
-
Ryan Miller LAA RPRyan Miller: Cut by Halos
1d agoThe Angels released Miller on Tuesday.
Miller was dropped from the Angels' 40-man roster Thursday, and he'll now attempt to latch on with another organization after passing through waivers unclaimed. The 28-year-old reliever allowed six earned runs over 13 innings in the majors in 2024, though his 2.45 ERA and 1.00 WHIP through 62.1 Triple-A frames should be enough to net him a minor-league deal elsewhere.
-
Steven Okert MIN RPAstros' Steven Okert: Signs minors deal with Houston
1d agoOkert signed a minor-league contract with the Astros on Nov. 5.
Okert appeared in 44 games for the Twins in 2024, putting up a 5.09 ERA and 1.50 WHIP across 35.1 innings -- his worst statistical season since 2017. The 33-year-old southpaw will have an opportunity to bounce back with the Astros organization, though he will likely need to redeem himself at Triple-A Sugar Land before getting a chance to pitch for Houston.
-
Sammy Peralta CHW RPSammy Peralta: Elects free agency
2d agoPeralta elected free agency Tuesday.
Peralta cleared waivers after the White Sox removed him from their 40-man roster, but he'll test out free agency rather than accepting an outright assignment. The left-handed reliever holds a 4.37 ERA and 29:18 K:BB over 35 innings covering parts of two big-league seasons.
-
Nicky Lopez CHW 2BNicky Lopez: Becomes free agent
2d agoLopez elected free agency Tuesday.
The White Sox removed Lopez from their 40-man roster and the veteran infielder has opted for free agency rather than accepting an outright assignment. Lopez, who turns 30 in March, slashed just .241/.312/.294 over 124 games for the White Sox in 2024. He might have to settle for a minor-league contract this winter.
-
Malaki Branham SA SGSpurs' Malaki Branham: Quiet in return Wednesday
2h agoBranham posted eight points (4-6 FG, 0-1 3Pt), one rebound and two assists in 13 minutes during Wednesday's 139-130 win over the Wizards.
Branham returned from a two-game absence due to an ankle injury, playing limited minutes off the bench. He had been playing reasonably well prior to the injury but is now faced with a healthy Devin Vassell, as well as a confident Sephon Castle. Although Branham is likely to feature in the rotation on a regular basis, he would need an injury or two ahead of him to allow him to play significant minutes.
-
Harrison Barnes SA PFSpurs' Harrison Barnes: Monotonous season continues
2h agoBarnes closed Wednesday's 139-130 win over the Wizards with 10 points (2-5 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and one block in 30 minutes.
Barnes continues to do very little in terms of production, continuing what has been a lethargic start to the season. Through 12 games, the veteran is averaging just 9.8 points and 3.9 rebounds despite playing 28.7 minutes per game. At this point, he is more of a placeholder than a viable contributor.
-
Victor Wembanyama SA CSpurs' Victor Wembanyama: Pours in career-high 50 points
2h agoWembanyama contributed 50 points (18-29 FG, 8-16 3Pt, 6-9 FT), six rebounds, two assists, three blocks and one steal over 32 minutes during Wednesday's 139-130 win over the Wizards.
Wembanyama took advantage of a favorable matchup, torching the Wizards to the tune of 50 points, the first time he has reached that milestone. After a somber start to the season, Wembanyama has flicked the switch of late, putting up video game numbers on both ends of the floor. At this point, his ceiling could be anything.
-
Justin Champagnie WAS SFWizards' Justin Champagnie: Rare appearance in loss
2h agoChampagnie amassed no counting stats in one minute during Wednesday's 139-130 loss to San Antonio.
Champagnie cracked the rotation for the first time since the opening game, playing just one minute. While there is a chance he can earn some rotation minutes at some point this season, it appears as though he is going to be spending the majority of the next few months warming the bench.
-
Jonas Valanciunas WAS CWizards' Jonas Valanciunas: Double-doubles off bench
2h agoValanciunas had 16 points (6-12 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 13 rebounds, two assists and two blocks over 22 minutes during Wednesday's 139-130 loss to the Spurs.
Valanciunas fracked up just his second double-double of the season, logging in excess of 20 minutes for the first time in the past three games. It's been an underwhelming start to his career in Washington, with rumors already swirling regarding his long-term future. As long as he is pushing 20 minutes per night, he should continue to be a nightly double-double threat.
-
Jordan Poole WAS SGWizards' Jordan Poole: Lands season-high 42 points
3h agoPoole ended Wednesday's 139-130 loss to the Spurs with 42 points (15-22 FG, 6-9 3Pt, 6-6 FT), two rebounds, six assists and two steals in 33 minutes.
Poole was on the front foot from the opening tip, ending with a season-high 42 points despite another loss. It's been a fantastic start to the season for Poole, coming off a forgettable campaign in 2023-24. Across 10 games, he is averaging 22.2 points, 4.4 assists, 2.3 steals and 3.6 three-pointers in 30.6 minutes per game. There is some doubt as to whether this is sustainable, however, it appears as though we are going to have fun finding out.

Trevor Moore LA LWKings' Trevor Moore: Continues success on top line
6h agoMoore notched two assists in Wednesday's 4-2 loss to the Avalanche.
Head coach Jim Hiller shuffled the lines, and Moore got a big promotion to play alongside Anze Kopitar and Adrian Kempe. The trio combined for both of the Kings' goals in the loss, but those lines may not stick together for long after the team mustered just 15 shots on net. Moore has been one of the Kings' best players lately with two goals and seven assists during his seven-game point streak. For the season, the two-way winger has 12 points, 42 shots on net, 19 hits and a plus-2 rating through 18 contests.
-
Anze Kopitar LA CKings' Anze Kopitar: Adds two more assists
6h agoKopitar notched a pair of assists in Wednesday's 4-2 loss to the Avalanche.
Kopitar helped out on both of Adrian Kempe's first-period tallies. With six helpers over his last five games, Kopitar has stayed productive despite some struggles with creating chances for himself. The 37-year-old center has five goals, 15 helpers, 18 shots on net, 11 blocked shots and a plus-3 rating through 18 appearances in a top-line role this season.
-
Adrian Kempe LA RWKings' Adrian Kempe: Scores both goals in loss
6h agoKempe scored a pair of goals on four shots in Wednesday's 4-2 loss to the Avalanche.
Kempe tallied twice in the first period, but the Kings had trouble generating any offense after that. The 28-year-old continues to run hot and cold -- this was his fifth multi-point effort over the last 10 games, and he's been held scoreless in the other five games in that span. Overall, Kempe has seven goals, 16 points, 50 shots on net, 21 hits, 10 PIM and a plus-4 rating across 18 appearances in a top-line role.
-
David Rittich LA GKings' David Rittich: On hook for loss in relief outing
6h agoRittich allowed a goal on five shots in Wednesday's 4-2 loss to the Avalanche, who also scored an empty-netter.
Darcy Kuemper (undisclosed) left the game in the third period with the game tied at 2-2. Rittich entered and gave up the second goal of Mikko Rantanen's hat trick, which ended up being the decisive tally. Rittich is down to 5-4-0 with a 2.71 GAA and an .887 save percentage through nine appearances (eight starts) this season. The 32-year-old would likely take over as the starting goalie if Kuemper misses time, while Pheonix Copley would be a candidate to be promoted from AHL Ontario.
-
Logan O'Connor COL RWAvalanche's Logan O'Connor: Picks up helper in win
6h agoO'Connor provided an assist in Wednesday's 4-2 win over the Kings.
O'Connor snapped a six-game point drought with the helper. The 28-year-old has often seen top-six minutes this season, though he was on the third line Wednesday. He'll likely stay there moving forward, as the Avalanche are expected to get back Valeri Nichushkin (suspension), Jonathan Drouin (upper body) and Miles Wood (upper body) for Friday's game versus the Capitals. O'Connor's picked up just three points with 20 shots on net, 28 hits and a minus-3 rating over 17 appearances, though he may be able to do more in a smaller role that's better suited to his skills.
-
Cale Makar COL DAvalanche's Cale Makar: Registers assist in win
6h agoMakar notched an assist and went plus-2 in Wednesday's 4-2 win over the Kings.
Makar set up a game-tying goal by Mikko Rantanen in the second period. The helper was Makar's second point over the last four games -- he's slowed down a little since his 13-game season-opening point streak ended. The star defenseman still has a fantastic 25 points, 47 shots on net, 23 blocked shots, 14 hits and a minus-5 rating through 17 appearances.
