49ers will start Mac Jones at QB vs Rams

OUT
WR Ricky Pearsall
QUESTIONABLE
QB Brock Purdy
DT Alfred Collins
DT Kalia Davis
LB Dee Winters
LB Tatum Bethune
DL Keion White

Related Players: Jauan Jennings, Kendrick Bourne, Demarcus Robinson, Jordan Watkins

Jones is once again in SuperFlex starting range, but can be looked over for better plays in typical leagues.

Jennings is in WR3 range, but George Kittle is the only other pass-catcher we should trust in fantasy.

Bowles ruled out four players for Sunday vs. Patriots: WR Chris Godwin, RB Bucky Irving, OLBs Haason Reddick and Markees Watts.

Related Players: Rachaad White, Sean Tucker, Emeka Egbuka, Tez Johnson

With both players missing, White should be in line for another RB2 week, Johnson is an interesting WR3/4, and Egbuka is once again a WR1.

Jaguars wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr. will miss Sunday’s game vs. the Texans due to his high ankle sprain.

Related Players: Parker Washington, Jakobi Meyers, Dyami Brown

Lots of moving pieces in the Jaguars' WR room the past couple of weeks.

Jakobi Meyers could be thrust into a larger role than we would have assumed after just a few days with the team.

With Thomas missing Week 10, both Meyers and Washington could end up being desperation WR4 options, but against the Texans, you should hopefully have better options at your disposal.

The Patriots have ruled out RB Rhamondre Stevenson (toe) and WR Kayshon Boutte (hamstring) for Sunday vs. the Bucs.

Related Players: TreVeyon Henderson, Terrell Jennings, Stefon Diggs, Demario Douglas, Mack Hollins

This locks Henderson back into an RB2 role, while Jennings can be considered a desperation FLEX in the RB4 range.

Diggs should remain a WR2 option, and Douglas is in that same desperation FLEX territroy as a WR4.

Kevin Stefanski expects Cedric Tillman to play Sunday.

Shedeur Sanders will be the #2 QB.

Harold Fannin is questionable with a hamstring injury.

Related Players: David Njoku, Jerry Jeudy, Jamari Thrash

It's probably best to avoid this Browns WR room wherever possible, but we've been getting plenty of good production out of the tight ends.

If Fannin were to miss, Njoku should be considered a low-end TE1.

Broncos RB J.K. Dobbins suffered a foot injury on what appeared to be a hip-drop tackle Thursday night against the Raiders and is awaiting a second opinion, per source.

Dobbins still finished the game with two carries on the final drive to close out the win.

Related Players: RJ Harvey, Tyler Badie

Dobbins *far* out-touched Harvey in Week 10, even with the rookie's increase in snaps as of late. Harvey would be an obvious beneficiary if the vet misses any time, but we've still got another week to sort out that probability.

Bills RB James Cook is good to go Sunday vs. Dolphins.

Buffalo ruled out DL AJ Epenesa and LB Shaq Thompson.

DT Daquan Jones, WR Josh Palmer + CBs Taron Johnson & Christian Benford are questionable.

Related Players: Ray Davis, Ty Johnson

Cook is cleared ahead of a fantastic matchup, putting him right back into RB1 consideration.

Sources: Commanders QB Jayden Daniels’ MRI and medical opinions revealed positive news, as his dislocated left elbow is not as serious as originally anticipated. There was no ligament damage & he won't need surgery.

Daniels will not be immediately placed on Injured Reserve.

Related Players: Marcus Mariota

This is all to say that Daniels *could* return this season, but as Rapoport mentioned, this only means he won't "immediately" be placed on IR, which means he *could* also miss the rest of the season.

It's a dicey call in Fantasyland, where we'd hate to keep a guy on our bench who won't take another snap during point-scoring season. The Commanders are currently 3-6 and in third place in the NFC East, so if we absolutely had to guess, we imagine they'll lean toward getting him ready for 2026. He should absolutely be kept in any free IR slots just in case. He will purportedly be re-evaluated during the team's Week 12 bye.

Injury was added to insult for Geno Smith in the Raiders' Thursday night loss to the Broncos.

On a night in which nothing went right for Smith and the beleaguered Las Vegas offense, the quarterback suffered a quad contusion on the opening play of the fourth quarter during the team's 10-7 loss to Denver, although head coach Pete Carroll expressed postgame it shouldn't be a long-term issue.

Related Players: Kenny Pickett

This will presumably be labeled "day-to-day" for now, with Pickett the most likely starter should Smith be sidelined. Next up is the Cowboys defense, so whoever mans center will actually have some fantasy appeal.

Bears injury report...

DNP: T.J. Edwards, Josh Blackwell, Dominique Robinson, Joe Thuney (rest)

Limited: Kevin Byard, Roschon Johnson, D.J. Moore, Rome Odunze

Full: Luther Burden, Cole Kmet, Kyle Monangai, D'Andre Swift, Amen Ogbongbemiga

Related Players: Kyle Monangai, Colston Loveland

The Bears will have quite the decision(s) on their hands if Swift and Kmet are available for Week 10.

Monangai has looked absolutely fantastic, while Loveland just had a game-winning, 58-yard touchdown reception. Chicago probably can't put the genie back in the bottle with Loveland, who should be considered a top-15 TE option, while both Swift and Monagai could both be low-end RB2 options if the veteran really is back to full health.
