New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers reeled in five of seven targets for 44 yards in his team's 24-21 Thursday night loss to the Washington Commanders. He also lost a fumble. Nabers was on a hot streak entering New York's Week 8 bye, recording four straight games of at least 100 yards with an enormous target total. However, the two games since have seen him notch just five receptions each, for 43 and 44 yards, respectively. It's an unfortunate dip in production for the 23-year-old, though there's no reason to sound the panic alarms just yet. Nabers was still second on the team in targets by a decent margin in Week 10, and no Giants pass catcher performed well against the Eagles last weekend, suggesting it might be flukey. Looking ahead, he'll get a less-than-favorable matchup in Week 11 against a staunch Jacksonville Jaguars defense.

Washington Commanders wide receiver Stefon Diggs caught six of 10 targets for 83 yards and a touchdown in his team's 24-21 win against the hosting New York Giants. The target and receiving totals were new season highs for the veteran, as he'd mostly disappointed with fewer than 56 yards in all seven of his appearances until Thursday's victory. Diggs' best play of the night came on a late fourth-quarter catch over the middle, where he broke free for a 32-yard touchdown that proved to be the game-winner. It's a nice outcome for the 32-year-old, as he continues to be out-snapped by rookie Antonio Williams week in and week out. Diggs may not have the same upside he did earlier in his career, but he's still a savvy technician who can get open in the short-to-intermediate area and has a decent rapport with quarterback Jayden Daniels. Washington will square off with the visiting Cincinnati Bengals the next time they take the field in Week 10.

Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels completed 23 of 33 passes for 249 yards, three touchdowns, and two interceptions in Thursday night's 24-21 win over the hosting New York Giants. He added 28 yards on 11 carries. Daniels wasn't at his best in Week 10, but redeemed two fourth-quarter interceptions with a game-sealing 32-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Stefon Diggs. They were the LSU product's first two picks of the season. Daniels has been solid this year for Washington, albeit underwhelming for fantasy due to a lack of a running game and injuries to his WR corps. Still, it was his first three-touchdown game since Week 6 of 2025, and his ball placement has been sound. He'll get another chance to be a fantasy contributor his next time out against the Cincinnati Bengals on Monday Night Football. Cincinnati has been a bit tougher on fantasy quarterbacks than the Giants, but is by no means a scary matchup, and Washington should be forced to score points.

New York Giants tight end Isaiah Likely piled up 127 yards and a touchdown on 9-of-11 receiving in his team's 24-21 loss to the Washington Commanders. Likely was involved from the get-go on Thursday night, ripping off nine yards on the Giants' third play from scrimmage. Washington had no answer for the former fourth-round pick, as he consistently worked open across the middle of the field. Likely's highlight of the night was a 66-yard catch-and-run that gave New York the lead midway through the fourth quarter. With the monster effort, he set new career highs in single-game receiving yards, as well as receiving yards (575) and touchdowns (seven) in a season. There figures to be some ups and downs for the 26-year-old on a Giants squad that's still figuring it out, but he's one of the league's most enticing TE options for fantasy, and is getting the long-awaited volume he deserves. Next up for New York is a clash with the visiting Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 11.

New York Giants running back Cam Skattebo rushed for 78 yards and two touchdowns on 18 carries in Thursday night's 24-21 home loss to the Washington Commanders. He added 44 yards on 3-of-4 receiving. The second-year pro out of Arizona State missed Week 9's win over the Eagles with a hamstring injury, but was back out in full force for this one, running with his signature ferocity en route to his second career multi-touchdown performance. After Skattebo's soft benching back in Week 6, when he didn't record a touch, he responded with back-to-back excellent showings while compiling a 35/202/3 rushing line. If the 24-year-old can maintain his work in the passing game, he's likely to remain a valuable fantasy asset for the rest of the season. Either way, Skattebo profiles as a strong RB2 at his best and is finally looking like himself as we hit the back half of the campaign. We'll see if he can keep it up in next weekend's unfavorable draw against a stout Jacksonville Jaguars defense.

Los Angeles Rams tight end Terrance Ferguson (ankle, hamstring) did not practice on Thursday, according to Blaine Grisak of Rams on SI. Ferguson remains on injured reserve and has now missed back-to-back practices. The Rams designated him to return last week, but shortly after doing so, he suffered a hamstring injury on top of his existing ankle issue. Now, all signs point to Ferguson being sidelined for at least a couple more weeks. The Rams will need to make a decision on whether to activate or shut down Ferguson by Nov. 26. If the 23-year-old does get back on the field at some point this season, he'll have low-end TE1 appeal. After all, he caught six of nine targets for 54 yards and a touchdown in his last full game before injuring his ankle in Week 3. Any sort of fantasy relevance for Ferguson is at least a couple of weeks away, leaving Colby Parkinson and Tyler Higbee (illness) in line to lead the Rams' tight end room in the meantime. Parkinson is a fringe TE1 in fantasy football with Davante Adams (hamstring) and Puka Nacua (knee) on injured reserve, while Higbee is more of a low-end TE2 with an iffy floor.

Los Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee (illness) did not practice on Thursday, according to Blaine Grisak of Rams on SI. This is a new issue for Higbee, who had not appeared on the injury report Wednesday. Fantasy managers will have to stay tuned for updates on his status when the Rams release their final injury designations on Friday afternoon. Even with Davante Adams (hamstring) and Terrance Ferguson (ankle) sidelined lately, Higbee has been underwhelming with just four catches over his last three games. The 33-year-old's recent track record isn't great, but he has an even more glaring opportunity to get involved in Week 10 against the Arizona Cardinals with Puka Nacua (knee) joining Adams and Ferguson on IR. With that being said, Colby Parkinson is still the top Rams tight end to roster in fantasy football, with Higbee serving as more of a low-end streamer in deeper leagues, assuming he plays on Sunday.

The Philadelphia Eagles have waived wide receiver Hollywood Brown, according to NFL insider Jordan Schultz. He had played in just three games this season, totaling five catches for 63 yards while averaging around 50% of the offensive snaps per game. Brown's limited production is presumably the main reason behind his waiving, but the Eagles' season trajectory could be a factor, too. Philadelphia sits at 2-7 and is in last place in the NFC East. Their playoff odds are nearly zero percent, and so there isn't much incentive to give reps to a veteran like Brown when it makes more sense to get some of the younger receivers involved. Players like Darius Cooper and Makai Lemon, who combined for a 93% snap share and 17 targets last week, should continue to operate as the top receivers in this banged-up offense led by third-string quarterback Joe Milton III.

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Mike Evans (Achilles) "is real close" to returning, head coach Kyle Shanahan told KNBR (via David Lombardi of The San Francisco Standard). Shanahan noted that Evans, who is dealing with Achilles tendinitis, would likely be playing through the injury if it were the playoffs. That would seem to indicate that the 49ers are managing Evans' workload so that he can fully recover and be healthy for the second half of the season. The veteran pass catcher has been a very impressive contributor when active this year, catching 27 passes for 420 yards and three touchdowns through parts of six games in 2026. Evans is one of several Niners receivers dealing with injuries, joining Deebo Samuel Sr. (hamstring), De'Zhaun Stribling (ankle), and Christian Kirk (knee). Assuming Evans sits out Week 10, the 49ers will roll out Jordan Watkins, Demarcus Robinson, and newly acquired Keenan Allen as their top wide receivers. Among that group, Allen has the best fantasy outlook, but only if he has made enough progress learning the 49ers' offense since Tuesday's trade.

Los Angeles Chargers tight end David Njoku (fibula) was a limited participant in practice on Thursday, according to the team's official injury report. Njoku, who is currently on injured reserve, logged two limited sessions last week. Therefore, although Thursday's participation level is a step in the right direction, it's still far from a guarantee that he'll play in Week 10 against the Baltimore Ravens. The good news is that the Chargers play on Monday night, giving Njoku an extra day to get healthy as he continues to work his way back from a fibula injury that he suffered in Week 2. Njoku had five catches for 58 yards in his only fully healthy game this season, and he is expected to be a key part of the passing attack if activated, especially with wide receivers Ladd McConkey (back) and Tre' Harris (shoulder) uncertain for this week. Managers should stay tuned for updates on Njoku's status after the Chargers wrap up practice on Friday and Saturday.

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Tre' Harris (shoulder) was a limited participant in practice on Thursday, according to the team's official injury report. Harris has taken on a larger role lately, playing 83% of the snaps and being targeted seven times in Week 9 with Ladd McConkey (back) sidelined. The 24-year-old has arguably been a more steady contributor this season than teammate Quentin Johnston, although both players rank outside the top 75 receivers in PPR scoring so far this year. If McConkey isn't able to suit up in Week 10 against the Baltimore Ravens, Harris (if healthy himself) would be in line to operate as one of quarterback Justin Herbert's favorite targets. A limited practice session is better than a flat-out absence, but managers should still stay tuned for injury updates from the Chargers over the next couple of days. Los Angeles doesn't play until Monday night, so Harris has a little extra time to get healthy, but managers may have to make a critical lineup decision on Sunday.

Washington Commanders tight end Chig Okonkwo (back) has returned to Thursday's Week 10 contest against the New York Giants. Okonkwo was forced to exit to the locker room in the second quarter with a back issue. Before leaving, Okonkwo hauled in both of his targets for 17 yards. He missed the rest of the second quarter, but Okonkwo is back for the second half of this game. The return of Okonkwo should mean that Ben Sinnott goes back to having a minimal role.

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert (finger) did not appear on the injury report ahead of Monday's Week 10 matchup against the Baltimore Ravens. Herbert suffered an injury to his left middle finger, but the imaging came back negative for a fracture. It's on his non-throwing hand, so it doesn't sound like the issue is going to impact Herbert. It looks like the 28-year-old will be a full-go as the Chargers look to win their first game of the season on Monday Night. So far this season, Herbert has thrown for 1,591 passing yards with six touchdowns and 11 interceptions across eight games. He currently ranks as RotoBaller QB25 ahead of this Week 10 contest.

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Ladd McConkey (back) was absent from Thursday's practice session. Head coach Jim Harbaugh said that he viewed McConkey as day-to-day with back spasms. McConkey is hopeful to contribute this week after not logging in any snaps during last week's loss to the Houston Texans. The 25-year-old will still have two more chances to practice ahead of Monday's Week 10 matchup against the Baltimore Ravens. If McConkey is downgraded, Quentin Johnston and Tre' Harris (shoulder) would likely see expanded roles. Fantasy managers will need to check back on Friday and Saturday for more updates on McConkey.

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel Sr. (hamstring) remained a limited participant during Thursday's practice session. This is now back-to-back limited practice sessions for Samuel, who has missed the last three games. Samuel is hopeful to get back on the field this weekend after being sidelined since suffering a hamstring injury in Week 5. Fantasy managers will need to keep a close eye on Samuel during Friday's injury report. There is a decent chance that Samuel can get back on the field for the Week 10 matchup against the Dallas Cowboys. If he returns, Samuel should be considered a strong flex option against the struggling Cowboys defense.

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson is excited to have quarterback Kirk Cousins back with the organization. On Thursday, Jefferson said that it's a joy to have Cousins' leadership in the locker room. It has been a down year for Jefferson, who is currently averaging a career-low 56.1 receiving yards per game. It hasn't been easy for him with Kyler Murray (hamstring), Carson Wentz, and Max Brosmer as his quarterbacks this season. He'll now be reunited with Cousins, who was under center in Minnesota for the first four years of Jefferson's career. Jefferson averaged nearly 100 yards per game when he had Cousins under center. The hope is that the two of them can quickly reignite their chemistry. Cousins is expected to be the starting quarterback for the Week 10 matchup against the Green Bay Packers.

Washington Commanders tight end Chig Okonkwo (back) is considered questionable to return for Thursday's Week 10 contest against the New York Giants. Okonkwo headed to the locker room with the trainers due to a back issue in the second quarter. The severity of the issue is unknown at the moment. Before exiting, Okonkwo hauled in both of his targets for 17 yards. Fantasy managers should stay tuned for more updates on his status as this game goes on. John Bates and Ben Sinnott should see increased reps while Okonkwo is out.

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Rashod Bateman (calf) was listed as a limited participant in the first practice of the week on Thursday, according to Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic. Bateman is now questionable to play in the Week 10 Monday night contest at home against the winless Los Angeles Chargers, but he could come off the injury report by Saturday if he returns to a full practice in the next two days. Baltimore's offense tanked in last Thursday's blowout loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars with undrafted rookie quarterback Joe Fagnano making the first start of his career, but there is hope going forward that veteran signal-caller Jacoby Brissett can help turn things around with both Lamar Jackson (thumb) and Tyler Huntley (toe) out for the rest of the season. Expectations should still be tempered for the 26-year-old Bateman, who only has 20 receptions for 294 yards and a touchdown through the first nine weeks of the 2026 season. His lone touchdown came back in the Week 2 loss to the New Orleans Saints, and he has not eclipsed 50 receiving yards since Oct. 11 against the Atlanta Falcons. Coming off back-to-back one-catch efforts against the Jaguars and Buffalo Bills, Bateman should not be trusted as a fantasy flex in standard-sized leagues if he plays on Monday night, even with a QB upgrade.

Arizona Cardinals running back Bam Knight (concussion) was upgraded to full practice participation on Thursday and should be good to go on Sunday against the division-rival Los Angeles Rams, according to Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic. Knight should be active in Week 10, and with rookie first-round RB Jeremiyah Love (ankle) still sidelined, Knight could be the Cardinals' preferred backfield option in a tough matchup against the Rams, with rookie quarterback Carson Beck making his NFL debut. Knight's impending return to Arizona's backfield is bad news for Tyler Allgeier, who was outproduced by Knight after Love's ankle injury. The 25-year-old fourth-year back had a season-high 15 carries for 80 yards and also caught two passes for 18 yards in the first meeting against the Rams on Oct. 18. Still, Knight should not be considered much more than a low-upside, touchdown-dependent RB3/flex, at best, if he returns this weekend. RotoBaller has him ranked as the No. 40 RB for Week 10.

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jauan Jennings (calf) was listed as a non-participant in practice for the second straight day. Jennings' agent, Drew Rosenhaus, said earlier this week that his client's calf injury is not serious and that he expects to play in Week 10 against the Green Bay Packers, but he now must return to the practice field on Friday to avoid being ruled out for a second straight game. The Vikings' passing game was taken hostage by a terrible Carson Wentz at quarterback in Monday night's loss to the Buffalo Bills, but with veteran Kirk Cousins now in the fold, Minnesota is hoping that their offense can now complement one of the best defenses in the NFL. Jennings has been nearly non-existent in his first year with the Vikings as the WR3 behind Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison, catching only six passes for 54 yards and no touchdowns in six games played. The addition of Cousins at the trade deadline on Tuesday should be a boost for the offense for the rest of the season, but Jennings still will not be much more than a deep-league bench stash at wide receiver. If he is active at Lambeau on Sunday, he should be planted on fantasy benches. He is rostered in only 3% of Yahoo leagues.
