Raiders TE Brock Bowers misses Thursday practice

Oct 02, 2025

Raiders TE Brock Bowers, who was a limited practice participant Wednesday due to a knee injury, didn’t practice today.

Related Players: Ian Thomas

Fantasy Impact:

Hopefully this was more of a rest day, but Bowers has been dealing with this issue for a few weeks now. Ian Thomas can be left out of streaming consideration, even if the sophomore misses Week 5.

Texans WRs Nico Collins, Christian Kirk both Out Week 8

The Texans ruled out WRs Nico Collins and Christian Kirk for Sunday vs. San Francisco.

Fantasy Impact:

It looks like Houston is going to have to feature their two rookie WRs, whether they like it or not. We don't have to like it in fantasy, though, and there are better WR rooms to attack in Week 8.

49ers QB Brock Purdy, WR Ricky Pearsall officially Out Week 8

49ers ruled out Brock Purdy (toe) and Ricky Pearsall (knee) for Sunday’s game at Houston.

Mac Jones starts again.

Fantasy Impact:

The 49ers passing attack has been quite conservative with Jones on the field, so it would be a stretch to consider him a QB streamer against the Texans' defense. Jauan Jennings and Kendrick Bourne are both in the WR3/4 fringe.

Commanders WRs Terry McLaurin, Deebo Samuel on track to return Week 8

Commanders WRs Terry McLaurin and Deebo Samuel Sr. were full participants in practice again today and are on track to return to action Monday night at Kansas City.

Related Players: Chris Moore, Jaylin Lane, Luke McCaffrey

Fantasy Impact:

Great news for the wide receivers, but they will get a talent downgrade with Marcus Mariota, and they face a tough Chiefs defense. Put them both in WR3 consideration this week.
