NFL to interview Jacobs before disciplinary ruling

Tyson has dealt with recurring hamstring injuries since October 2025, and was most recently sidelined by a hamstring strain suffered on August 13th. According to Triplett, the Saints sent Tyson to be evaluated by Dr. Heiderscheit and his team, which received a $4 million research grant from the NFL in 2021 to study hamstring issues, twice during his three-month rehab program. Dr. Heiderscheit successfully treated Packers WR Christian Watson’s recurring hamstring injuries in 2024. According to Triplett, the specialists “determined that something was a little small” in Tyson’s hamstring fascia, which allowed the Saints’ training staff to update Tyson’s exercise regimen with needed alterations. Per Tyson, the changes have allowed the tissue “to fire better.” Given Dr. Heiderscheit’s track record, Tyson’s odds of remaining healthy for the rest of the season are trending upward. He warrants WR3/FLEX treatment at this time.

The Seahawks’ defense should be fine without him against a Raiders offense now led by rookie QB Fernando Mendoza. The Seahawks will have LB Uchenna Nwosu (ankle) and OG Anthony Bradford (knee) on the field this week, though.

Vaki sat out on Wednesday and Thursday before practicing in a limited capacity on Friday. He remains a worthwhile stash as the Lions’ No. 2 running back. His backup, Jacob Saylors (neck/hamstring), is good to go.

St. Brown was listed as questionable in Week 9 after practicing in a limited capacity all week. He managed to suit up on game day, posting an 8/86 receiving line. He was limited in all three practices this week and once again got hit with the questionable tag. We expect him to play. He should be treated as a WR1, as usual, assuming he is active.

Thornton’s injury woes continue. The young wide receiver spent much of the year on injured reserve with a hamstring injury. He had a back injury last week, and now another back injury threatens his availability. Thornton does not need to be rostered in 12-team formats, though he provides the team with a downfield element when active.

Ioane should have no issue playing against the Chargers on Monday night, nor should S Kyle Hamilton (hip), who has practiced in full in each of the last two days. Having Ioane on the field will be a big help for Jacoby Brissett in his first start for Baltimore.

Bateman is firmly on track to play in the Ravens’ Monday Night Football game against the Chargers. Bateman will provide new QB Jacoby Brissett with a downfield option, but the veteran wide receiver is almost entirely reliant in ripping off one or two big plays, which has proven to be a difficult proposition for him on a weekly basis.

Mitchell is trending in the right direction for the Chargers’ Week 10 game against the Ravens. The two teams play in this week’s Monday Night Football game. Mitchell is worth stashing in 12-team leagues, but he likely lacks RB2 upside.

Njoku is still within his 21-day practice window and has remained limited for five straight practices. He could end up playing on Monday night, but he does not need to be rostered.

Harris led the team in targets last week, but somehow managed just six yards on three catches. With Ladd McConkey (back) ailing, Harris could lead the team in targets again. He would only be a boom-bust FLEX in this case, though.
