A.J. Brown, TreVeyon Henderson missing Wednesday’s practice

Nov 04, 2026

Patriots HC Mike Vrabel says WR A.J. Brown, DT Christian Barmore and RB TreVeyon Henderson won't practice today.

Fantasy Impact:

Another Brown absence would keep Douglas firmly in the PPR WR3/FLEX conversation and preserve deeper-league opportunities for Chism and Williams. Hollins could add competition if activated, so his return status also matters. If Henry’s foot injury keeps him out, Raridon would become an appealing TE1 streamer.

If Henderson misses another game, Stevenson would remain a strong RB2 with RB1 upside from his workload. Kiner would provide insurance behind him but remain a desperation fantasy starter.

Bhayshul Tuten trending toward Thursday game-time decision

Liam Coen says Jaguars RB Bhayshul Tuten (ankle/foot) feels better today, but a decision to play will likely come down to tomorrow night.

Fantasy Impact:

Managers should secure a replacement before Thursday’s kickoff. If Tuten sits, Rodriguez would move into RB2/FLEX consideration, provided his own hand injury allows him to handle a normal workload. Allen and Abdullah would offer depth, but neither would be a comfortable standalone starter. If Tuten plays, he would remain an RB2 option with additional risk that Jacksonville limits his workload.

Deshaun Watson enters concussion protocol

The Browns announced Wednesday that Deshaun Watson entered concussion protocol Tuesday after reporting symptoms that began Monday night. Watson had previously passed evaluations during and after Sunday’s game against Pittsburgh.

Fantasy Impact:

If Watson cannot clear protocol, Sanders would be in line to start against New Orleans and would warrant consideration as a matchup-based QB2 in Superflex leagues. Concepcion and Boston would become more volatile WR3/FLEX options, while Fannin would remain a viable tight end starter with greater uncertainty around his scoring opportunities. Judkins’ rushing workload keeps him in RB2 consideration.

Brandon Aiyuk files for reinstatement, plans to report Friday

Wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk has turned in paperwork to be reinstated, per his agent Drew Rosenhaus. Aiyuk, who currently is on San Francisco’s Reserve/Left Squad list, will be reporting to the 49ers’ training facility Friday afternoon, per Drew Rosenhaus. “Brandon is healthy and ready to get back on the field,” Rosenhaus said.

Fantasy Impact:

Aiyuk is a speculative bench stash for managers with room to wait. His eventual team, playing eligibility, and workload remain unsettled, so he should stay out of lineups for now.
