Giants rookie RB Cam Skattebo was carted off with an ankle injury against the Eagles.

Fox didn’t even replay the play. That, plus the fact they put an air case on him, likely tells you all you need to know. A very unfortunate situation for the Giants and a great person. Tyrone Tracy will likely take over as the lead back with Devin Singletary also getting work.

Eagles WR A.J. Brown, who is out Sunday with a hamstring injury, is expected back in Week 10 when the team returns from their bye.

Brown missed practice all week and will not play against the Giants. He’ll get an extra week of rest with the Eagles off in Week 9. He’ll also get an extra day of rest in Week 10 as the Eagles play on Monday night in Green Bay. There has been plenty of speculation surrounding a trade involving Brown, but Adam Schefter cooled off those rumors Saturday by saying the Eagles are not expected to trade Brown before the deadline on November 3. It’s been a slow start for Brown and the Eagles offense but they’re still sitting at 5-2 going into Sunday’s game against the Giants.

The Packers activated WR Christian Watson from injured reserve Saturday.

Watson is expected to make his season debut Sunday against the Steelers. The 21-day window for Watson was coming to a close, but Watson was trending towards returning to game action. Expect the Packers to ease Watson back into game action this week. Green Bay should also be getting Jayden Reed back in a couple of weeks, giving Jordan Love his full group of weapons.

Commanders WRs Terry McLaurin and Deebo Samuel will both play Monday against the Chiefs, head coach Dan Quinn said Saturday.

McLaurin is back after missing four games with a quad injury, while Samuel missed last week’s game with a heel injury. Both were full participants in practice Friday. Having both back in the lineup will be a huge boost for Marcus Mariota, who will get another start in place of the injured Jayden Daniels, who is still dealing with a hamstring strain.

The Jets ruled out QB Tyrod Taylor for Sunday’s game against the Bengals with a knee injury. Justin Fields will start.

Taylor was limited all week in practice and head coach Aaron Glenn was very hush on who would start at quarterback Sunday, never committing one way or the other, especially in the case of Taylor. Now the Jets go back to the quarterback they benched during last week’s loss to the Panthers. Fields has thrown for less than 100 total yards in the last two weeks and he’ll again be without Garrett Wilson. It could be another long day for the 0-7 Jets.

The Ravens have ruled QB Lamar Jackson out for Sunday’s game against the Bears with a hamstring injury.

After initially listing Jackson as a full participant in practice Friday, the Ravens have downgraded that to limited and are keeping him out for another week. Head coach John Harbaugh had said Friday that if Jackson can’t go Sunday, it would be Huntley getting the nod. This just shows how tricky hamstring and soft tissue injuries can be. The bye week was thought to have boosted Jackson’s chances of playing in Week 8. Now the watch is on for Week 9 and the Ravens have a short week, as they’ll visit the Dolphins on Thursday.

Falcons QB Kirk Cousins is “highly likely” to get the start Sunday against the Dolphins, in place of the injured Michael Penix Jr.

Cousins worked with the first team all week in practice as Penix was limited with a bone bruise in his knee. It would make Cousins’ first start since Week 15 of last season, before the Falcons made the switch to Penix in Week 16. Cousins draws a Miami defense that has ranks dead last in expected points added per play. It’s far from the worst streaming option this week with six teams on a bye.

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

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

Mac Jones starts again.

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.
