Vikings trade for Raiders QB Kirk Cousins

Nov 10, 2026

The Vikings have struck a deal with the Raiders to bring quarterback Kirk Cousins back to Minnesota, according to ESPNFL.

Related players: Fernando Mendoza, Kyler Murray, Justin Jefferson

Fantasy Impact:

The Vikings were rumored to be on the hunt for a QB before the deadline, and bringing back Cousins makes a ton of sense. It cost them a 2027 third round pick. Cousins was playing pretty well in Vegas with limited offensive weapons, but he'll get an upgrade with the Vikings, and players he's familiar with from his first time around with the team. This move will send Murray to the bench likely right away, as it was reported Murray's going to miss more time with a hamstring injury. It should end up being an upgrade for the Vikings offense. Meanwhile in Vegas, the Raiders will turn the offense over to the first overall pick in Mendoza, who gets the Seahawks in his very first start. This was about the time of year where it was projected the Raiders could make a switch anyway. It may be a rough go for a while for Mendoza.

Colts trade WR Keenan Allen to 49ers

Trade! The Colts are sending six-time Pro Bowl WR Keenan Allen to the 49ers for a 2027 sixth-round pick.

Fantasy Impact:

Allen should be a nice addition for the 49ers where he could slide in as the team's WR3. However, Evans and Deebo have struggled to stay on the field so if any continue to miss time, Allen could have an even bigger role, but, with a much improved QB getting him the ball. As of this trade, Downs remains a Colt but he could get shipped out as well today, so keep an eye on the Colts WR room - because someone will need to catch the ball in Indy.

Atlanta is signing Jake Moody off of Baltimore’s practice squad and releasing Nick Folk, according to Jordan Schultz of The Schultz Report.

Fantasy Impact:

Folk missed a field goal in two consecutive games and has made just 13-of-18 this season, the story said. Moody just kicked for the Ravens on Thursday night but now Baltimore will need to find another kicker with Tyler Loop on IR.

Fowler: Jaguars plan to keep WR Brian Thomas Jr.

Pro Football Talk

Jeremy Fowler of ESPN reports the Jaguars plan to keep receiver Brian Thomas Jr. — barring a surprise.

Thomas has been rumored to be on the trade block largely due to his lack of production this season. He’s received just 22 targets in eight games, catching 10 passes for 117 yards with two touchdowns.

Fantasy Impact:

Even the story suggested this could be one last effort to get a little more out of a WR-needy team before the deadline today. And what team has ever admitted they are trading someone? The Jags are obviously all-in on a Super Bowl run based on trades they made to bolster the defense, but as of now look like they will keep BTJ. It could very well be for insurance purposes in case of an injury, but BTJ hasn't really been part of the plan all season.
