Steelers want to get WR DK Metcalf more involved

Nov 09, 2026

Steelers OC Brian Angelichio on DK Metcalf: "We got a tremendous amount of confidence in DK and we got to look at, are we putting DK in the right position to be successful?"

Fantasy Impact:

Angelichio said there are some things the team is going to try to do to help him and get him more chances to be effective. The Steelers are down a couple of receivers so getting DK going would be a big deal to the offense. It will be interesting to see if the Steelers make any changes coming off their bye week. Hopefully for DK owners he gets fed the ball more often starting in Week 10. In his last two games before the bye, he was targeted six times in each game.

UPDATE: Report says Cardinals QB Gardner Minshew needs season-ending surgery

Pro Football Talk

48 minutes ago

Cardinals quarterback Gardner Minshew’s first start of the season may also be his last.

Minshew will likely need season-ending elbow surgery to repair a torn ulnar collateral ligament, according to ESPN.

Related players: Carson Beck

Fantasy Impact:

Nothing is official as Minshew is seeking additional medical opinions the story said, and the report comes from ESPN and not the team. Minshew took a hit at the end of the second quarter on Sunday and appeared to have hurt his elbow, but he was back for the start of the third quarter, and he played every offensive snap for the Cardinals, the story went on to say. It looks like the rookie Beck will make his first start in Week 10 against the Rams. As we said in our previous post, Beck is coming into a tough situation after the team also lost top WR Michael Wilson.

Cowboys to be without TE Jake Ferguson (knee)

TE Jake Ferguson (knee) and RB Tyler Goodson (knee) will miss “multiple weeks,” according to Brian Schottenheimer. S PJ Locke is out with his second concussion in as many games.

Related players: Brevyn Spann-Ford, Luke Schoonmaker

Fantasy Impact:

It was an ugly hit to Ferguson's knee against the Colts and he's going to miss time as a result. Spann-Ford and Schoonmaker are up next, but probably shouldn't be counted on in fantasy lineups. Even Ferguson was only averaging three targets a game.

49ers WR Brandon Aiyuk reinstated

Brandon Aiyuk is back, and the ball is in the 49ers’ court.

The NFL reinstated the 49ers receiver from the reserve/left squad list on Monday. The league also gave the 49ers a two-week roster exemption, giving the team a window for making a decision about what to do with Aiyuk.

Fantasy Impact:

The story summarized the Aiyuk situation: The 49ers now have an immediate decision to make about Aiyuk. If he’s on the roster on Tuesday at 4 p.m. ET, he’s owed a game check for the week. Based on the Player Personnel Manual, placement on the reserve/left squad list apparently tolled his 2025 salary. That means he’ll return to the $1.17 million base salary from 2025, with the 2026 salary of $26.015 million delayed until 2027. The 49ers do have a trade window now with Aiyuk, with the new team getting him for the rest of the season at only $585,000 in non-guaranteed pay. Aiyuk's fantasy situation is pretty murky until all this is figured out, but it will be tough to count on him this season most likely.
