Falcons QB Michael Penix dealing with rib injury

Oct 12, 2026

The final play of Sunday night’s game saw Falcons backup quarterback Tua Tagovailoa throw an interception to seal the Ravens’ 30-23 overtime win while starter Michael Penix watched from the sideline with a rib injury.

Fantasy Impact:

The story said after the loss, Penix said he thinks he could have stayed in if the Falcons got the ball first in OT, but, “it just started to get worse and worse as we were sitting there.” Penix will have more testing done on the injury, but said he does not think it is going to be a long-term absence. We know we can't trust players when it comes to injuries, however, and that's especially true with a rib injury. This will be something to watch this week. The Falcons have a game in the early window of Week 6, hosting the Bears.

Texans RB David Montgomery could miss time with a groin injury, head coach DeMeco Ryans said after Sunday’s win over the Titans.

Fantasy Impact:

Monty suffered the during the second quarter. He tallied 11 yards on five carries before leaving. It’s been quite the struggle for Monty since his 3-touchdown outing in Week 1. He has not scored more than seven fantasy points in his last four games. In fact, he hasn’t even reached 50 total yards in that stretch. Woody Marks stands to take over the lead role in the Houston backfield. The 1-4 Texans travel to London to meet the 4-1 Jaguars in Week 6 before a date with the Giants in Week 7 and then Houston has their bye in Week 8.

Deebo Samuel leaves game with hamstring injury

49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel left Sunday’s game against the Seahawks with a hamstring injury.

Fantasy Impact:

Samuel was injured one of the 49ers’ turnovers in the third quarter and was quickly ruled out. He was in obvious pain on the bench. The hits just keep on coming for the 49ers, who have struggled on offense in Seattle, despite scoring two touchdowns. Mike Evans is still leading the charge and Brandin Cooks is among those also mixing into the offense.

Texans acquiring Marvin Harrison Jr.

The Texans are acquiring WR Marvin Harrison Jr. from the Cardinals.

Fantasy Impact:

The Cardinals are getting a 2nd and 6th-round picks in 2027 in return while also sending a 7th to Houston. The mystery is over. It was reported that Harrison was being traded but the team was never revealed, perhaps as a way to drive up the price for other teams. Still, getting a 2nd-round pick in what should be a strong 2027 class for Harrison is a win for Arizona. Harrison now gets a chance to rejuvenate his career in Houston with C.J. Stroud now as his quarterback, reuniting from their Ohio State days together. The emergence of Michael Wilson also helped.
