Adams ‘uncoverable’ in joint practices

Folk, 42 after his birthday five days ago, had hit just 13-of-18 field-goal attempts this year after being the league’s most accurate kicker in 2023, 2024, and 2025. He’ll either resurface with a new club or have a Bluesky account in the coming days.

They released Nick Folk in a corresponding move, leaving the Ravens holding nothing at the position currently as Tyler Loop is on injured reserve. Workouts to come for the Ravens. Moody will be a reasonable fantasy kicker provided he can do better than his 78.3 percent career field-goal conversion rate, which, of course, is not guaranteed in any way. At least he plays half his games in a dome now.

The acquisition had not been finalized, according to Schultz, who said said the nixing of the deal “is not physical or performance related.” It could be related to the Ebiketie acquisition forcing the Bengals to forfeit a 2027 3rd round compensatory draft pick that via the team’s Trey Hendrickson trade to the Ravens. In any case, the Bengals will likely head into the second half of the season with one of the league’s worst pass rushes. Only the Bills and Chiefs have fewer sacks on the season.

The Bengals are shoring up their defense ahead of a postseason run with Joe Burrow, Ja’Marr Chase, and Tee Higgins healthy and operating at a high level. Ebiketie, who had played 48 percent of the Eagles’ defensive snaps this season, logging zero sacks, no tackles for loss, and two QB hits, will join a Bengals defense with the NFL’s tenth highest pressure rate and tenth highest quick pressure rate on the season. Only the Bills and Chiefs have fewer sacks than the Bengals through Week 9.

Sieler, who’s played well for an underperforming Miami defense, will undergo surgery on his injured bicep and remain sidelined for the remainder of the regular season. It’s a blow to the Dolphins defense, which has allowed the league’s highest EPA per play and highest offensive success rate. This could make the Dolphins more vulnerable to the run as well. Through Week 9 they have allowed the tenth most fantasy points per game to running backs, along with the 13th highest yards per carry.

Fowler said the Jacksonville front office has told other teams they will not part ways with Thomas before today’s 4:00 eastern trade deadline. Thomas, 24, has been an afterthought in the Jaguars offense for much of the 2026 season after a down 2025 campaign. He’s run a route on 47 percent of the team’s drop backs while accounting for 9 percent of the team’s targets and 16 percent of the team’s air yards. Thomas has seen a target on 17 percent of his pass routes, the sixth highest rate among Jags pass catchers. Stuck in Jacksonville, Thomas will have some deep league value as a big play dependent wideout.

With Josh Jacobs out with a broken finger, Johnson led the Packers with 14 carries for 68 yards and a touchdown in the team’s Week 9 drubbing of the Patriots. Forty-four of those yards came on explosive rushes. Pierre Strong, meanwhile had eight carries on the day. MarShawn Lloyd was sidelined with a knee issue but could be back in the Green Bay lineup soon. Lloyd’s shocking lack of production this season could, according to Schneidman, give Johnson a real chance to seize lead back duties. Head coach Matt LaFleur after the team’s Week 9 win seemed to imply there are some pass protection concerns for Johnson. That would probably mean Chris Brooks, who’s expected to return from an ankle injury in Week 10, gets the third-down role while Jacobs is sidelined. The Packers this week take on an elite Minnesota offense that teams have run on in recent weeks.

“The word going into last night was the Vikings would be in the QB market ahead of the trade deadline if Carson Wentz didn’t play well,” Garafolo said. Narrator voice: He didn’t. Wentz was an utter disaster in Monday night’s loss to the Bills, completing 8-of-25 passes for 81 yards and two interceptions in the team’s second straight loss. Wentz in Week 9 had the league’s lowest drop back EPA and lowest success rate. He also appeared to sustain an ankle injury in the second half. With Kyler Murray (hamstring) struggling mightily in Kevin O’Connell’s offense, the Vikings could make a desperation move for Kirk Cousins or Daniel Jones ahead of today’s 4:00 p.m. eastern time trade deadline. Cousins, for one, would be a marked upgrade for Justin Jefferson and the Minnesota pass catchers. The Raiders have not expressed interest in parting with Cousins, however.

Addison and the rest of the primary Minnesota pass catchers struggled through some of the worst quarterback play you will see all season, with Carson Wentz leading an offense that gained only 126 yards while failing to pick up a single first down through 55 minutes of play. Max Brosmer came on in relief of the struggling veteran late in the fourth quarter and made a few really nice throws, but the team maintains one of the worst quarterback rooms in the league. Fantasy managers are left wishing the team addresses those shortcomings ahead of Tuesday’s trade deadline to revive an anemic pass offense.

Hockenson struggled along with the rest of a Minnesota offense that managed only 178 yards of total offense, only 126 of which were accounted for with Carson Wentz under center. Max Brosmer came on in relief of the beleaguered veteran on the team’s final possession an nearly led the only touchdown drive of the game, ultimately coming up short on fourth down in the red zone. Hockenson and the rest of the Minnesota pass catchers are surely better off with any other quarterback than is currently on the roster, and there is the potential for the team to address the poor under-center play in the coming hours ahead of Tuesday’s 4 pm ET trade deadline. Hockenson would be a tough fantasy start against the Packers in Week 10 if the situation remains the same.
