Chiefs RB Isiah Pacheco, WR Hollywood Brown miss Wednesday practice

Oct 29, 2025

WR Hollywood Brown (ill), RB Isiah Pacheco (knee) and LT Josh Simmons (personal) will not practice on Wednesday ahead of Buffalo. As described by Andy Reid, RG Trey Smith will give it a "whirl" after going through the walkthrough.

Related Players: Kareem Hunt, Brashard Smith

Fantasy Impact:

Given that Brown's absence is due to illness, we'll hold off making any sweeping judgments about his absence.

As for Pacheco, it seems very unlikely he'll play in Week 9, leaving Hunt (RB2) and Smith (low-end RB3) in the mix as fantasy pieces.

Packers WR Dontayvion Wicks misses Wednesday practice, RB MarShawn Lloyd not back "anytime soon"

LaFleur on if MarShawn Lloyd (IR-DTR) will be back anytime soon: "I wouldn't count on that, anytime soon."

Dontayvion Wicks won't practice today.

Related Players: Emanuel Wilson

Fantasy Impact:

Looks like Wicks is in jeopardy of missing his second-straight game, while the injury bug won't be leaving Lloyd, who has hardly seen an NFL field since going in the third round of the 2024 Draft. Neither significantly impacts the rest of the Packers' fantasy options.

Falcons QB Michael Penix Jr. day-to-day ahead of Week 9

Falcons QB Michael Penix Jr. is day to day with the bone bruise in his knee, but HC Raheem Morris told reporters that he feels “really good” about his QB for Sunday’s game against the Patriots.

Related Players: Kirk Cousins

Fantasy Impact:

The Falcons' offense has been quite the rollercoaster ride this season, and it could be another tough one against a good Patriots defense. Penix and Cousins can be left on benches this week, while Darnell Mooney is an interesting WR4 type regardless of who starts.

Bengals QB Joe Flacco's Week 9 status is "up in the air"

Bengals QB Joe Flacco is dealing with an AC joint sprain in his throwing shoulder & his status is up in the air for Sunday vs the Bears, sources say.

Flacco left the loss to the #Jets, then came back late. Coach Zac Taylor called him day-to-day. Jake Browning is the backup.

Fantasy Impact:

We've seen a huge shift in offensive effectiveness since Flacco came to town, particularly as far as Ja'Marr Chase is concerned. Chase would still be a must-start with Browning at the helm, but it would be a sharp downgrade for Tee Higgins, Chase Brown, Noah Fant, and anyone else on fantasy rosters.
