  • Rashid Shaheed WR | SEA

    Saints' Rashid Shaheed: Officially deemed questionable

    Shaheed (hip) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at the Rams, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.

    Shaheed didn't rejoin last week's 23-3 loss to Tampa Bay after exiting in the fourth quarter, but that doesn't mean much given that the Saints were down by 20. He managed limited practice participation Wednesday through Friday this week, with coach Kellen Moore telling reporters Friday that Shaheed, RB Alvin Kamara (ankle) and CB Alontae Taylor (shoulder) are all trending in the right direction. It is possible trade rumors could impact Shaheed's availability or usage, but there was no hint of anything like that from Moore during his media availability Friday.

  • Puka Nacua WR | LAR

    Rams' Puka Nacua: Return to action confirmed

    Rams coach Sean McVay confirmed Friday that Nacua will return for Sunday's game against the Saints, Gary Klein of the Los Angeles Times reports.

    Nacua was injured Week 6 and will end up missing just one game with the help of a Week 8 bye. The Rams listed him as a limited practice participant Wednesday, before an upgrade to full participation Thursday answered lingering doubts about Nacua's Week 9 availability.

  • Calvin Ridley WR | TEN

    Titans' Calvin Ridley: Ruled out again

    Ridley (hamstring) won't play Sunday against the Chargers, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

    Ridley, who as of Thursday hadn't practiced since being forced out of Week 6 action after just six snaps, thus is slated to miss his third straight game, and with the Titans on bye Week 10, his next chance to play won't arrive until Sunday, Nov. 16 against the Texans. In Ridley's continued absence, Chimere Dike, Elic Ayomanor and Van Jefferson -- who each logged eight targets Week 8 -- once again will lead Tennessee's WR corps this weekend.

  • Xavier Legette WR | CAR

    Panthers' Xavier Legette: Cleared to play

    Legette (illness) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game in Green Bay.

    Legette returned to full participation Friday after missing practice Thursday. He should be ready for his usual starting role come Sunday, but production has been in short supply apart from a 9-92-1 outburst Week 7 against the Jets.

  • Anthony Gould WR | IND

    Colts' Anthony Gould: Ruled out for Week 9

    Gould (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Steelers, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.

    Gould was injured in last Sunday's win over the Titans and will miss his first game of the season. Gould has just one catch for three yards this season, seeing 11 percent of the offensive snaps. With Gould out, Ashton Dulin and Adonai Mitchell could see sparse snaps behind Michael Pittman, Alec Pierce and Josh Downs.

  • Dolphins' Tahj Washington: Fumbles on first career catch

    Washington secured one of two targets for 11 yards during Thursday's 28-6 loss to the Ravens. He also lost one fumble.

    Washington, a 2024 seventh-round pick, made the first catch of his NFL career versus Baltimore on Thursday Night Football on a quick throw to the sideline from Tua Tagovailoa. However, Washington lost possession of the ball, surrendering a crucial turnover deep in Dolphins territory that resulted in the Ravens' first touchdown of the night. After playing a season-high nine offensive snaps in Thursday's loss, it's possible Washington's costly mistake causes his playing time to decline Week 10 versus Buffalo.

  • Ravens' DeAndre Hopkins: No catches Thursday

    Hopkins was held without a catch on one target Thursday against the Dolphins.

    Though Lamar Jackson returned and the Ravens scored 28 points, Hopkins' impact was minimal. His snap count dipped back below 20 as the Ravens went with a heavy tight end rotation with Mark Andrews, Isaiah Likely and Charlie Kolar each playing over 25 snaps. Though Hopkins has been extremely efficient when targeted, he's not seeing steady enough opportunities to be a viable fantasy asset.

  • Dolphins' Nick Westbrook-Ikhine: Draws four targets in TNF loss

    Westbrook-Ikhine secured two of four targets for 22 yards during Thursday's 28-6 loss to Baltimore.

    Westbrook-Ikhine has gotten more involved on offense recently, having now strung together three consecutive games with three or more targets. His production totals remain modest, as Westbrook-Ikhine remains without a touchdown and tallied his highest yardage total of the year versus Baltimore, though he was targeted twice in the red zone Week 8 versus Atlanta. With Tyreek Hill (knee - ACL) out for the year and Darren Waller (pectoral) on IR, Westbrook-Ikhine will continue handling a notable role on offense as the Dolphins attempt to bounce back against the Bills in Week 10.

  • Travis Hunter WR | JAC

    Jaguars' Travis Hunter: Non-contact injury being assessed

    Coach Liam Coen said Friday that the Jaguars are still trying to determine the extent of the knee injury that is slated to send Hunter to IR, Michael DiRocco of ESPN reports.

    With his looming placement on IR in mind, the earliest that Hunter -- who suffered a non-contact right knee injury during Thursday's practice -- could return to action would be Week 13, but it's possible that the No. 2 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft misses time beyond that. With regard to that subject, Coen noted Friday, "We're currently assessing the injury just to determine the best course of action moving forward for Travis and for the team." In Hunter's absence, Brian Thomas, who is managing a shoulder issue, is in line to lead the Jaguars' WR corps, while Parker Washington and Dyami Brown are prime candidates to see added snaps/targets moving forward, with Tim Patrick (groin) also in the mix.

  • Gabe Davis WR | BUF

    Gabe Davis: Will not play Week 9

    Coach Sean McDermott said Friday that Davis will not play in Sunday's game against the Chiefs, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.

    Davis spent the first half of the season on the practice-squad injured list but returned to practice this week. However, the Bills want to give him more time to ramp up off the injury. It's unclear if Buffalo has plans to elevate Davis at any point this season.
