    Rashee Rice (hamstring) did not practice Wednesday.

    Right tackle Jaylon Moore was also held out of practice with a concussion. Rice went down with the hamstring issue in Week 4. Even with a bye week to heal before Week 6, he wasn’t ready to return. A DNP today suggests he will miss at least one more game. Xavier Worthy led the Chiefs with seven catches for 73 yards in his absence last week. He would be in line for another high-usage game if Rice remains out for Week 7’s game against the Seahawks.
O'Connell must 'reclaim' his QB whisperer title
Michael Holley and Mike Florio are asking Kevin O'Connell and Jared Verse to step up and show them something in Week 10.

    For the first time since October 4th, the Chiefs listed Rice only with a knee issue. He had been managing a hamstring strain for more than a month, prior to today, and was typically limited early in the week. This is a great sign for his health moving forward. Rice is a WR2 against the Falcons.
  • KC Wide Receiver #4
    Rice, as usual, led the Chiefs in targets. It was an unusually run-heavy game plan for the Chiefs against a Jets defense that showed no real interest in stopping Ken Walker. This performance comes off last week’s 56-yard, one-touchdown outing for Rice, who missed significant time with a hamstring injury. Rice profiles as a high-floor WR2/3 in most formats. He’ll face the run-funnel Falcons defense in Week 10.
  • KC Wide Receiver #4
    Rice posted a 7/53/1 receiving line against the Broncos last week. He got in a limited session on Wednesday before upgrading to full on Thursday. He seems to be recovering effectively from his summer knee procedure and in-season hamstring injury. Rice is a borderline WR1/2 for this weekend’s game against the Jets.
  • KC Wide Receiver #4
    Rice is on track to face the Jets this weekend, as expected. The Chiefs’ embattled wide receiver also reportedly filed for bankruptcy this week, theoretically adding extra incentive to play well enough for a decent contract when he enters free agency next offseason. Rice is a fantasy football WR2.
  • KC Wide Receiver #4
    Rice returned from a multi-game absence because of the hamstring injury last week and he’s been on the injury report with the knee issue for most of the year. It doesn’t sound like either injury will prevent him from playing in Week 9. The limited session was likely maintenance. Rice led the Chiefs with eight targets in his first game back on Sunday. He’s been the Chiefs’ only consistently productive pass-catcher when healthy. He will be in the WR1 mix when he takes on the Jets this week.
  • KC Wide Receiver #4
    Rice was heavily involved early in the game, catching three passes for 26 yards and a score on the Chiefs’ opening drive. His role, however, took a backseat to running back targets in the second half. He caught three balls for 15 yards in the final two quarters combined. Rice briefly appeared to score the game-winning touchdown on the final play of the game, but refs had already blown the play dead because of a false start. Even without the second touchdown, fantasy managers can be confident in Rice as the team’s No. 1 receiver and a low-end WR2 for fantasy purposes going forward. He will sit just inside the WR1 ranks for his Week 9 date with the Jets.
  • KC Wide Receiver #4
    Rice will make his return to the game-day roster after missing two games due to a hamstring injury sustained in Week 4, returning as the top option through the air for an offense that has struggled with him off the field. The Chiefs scored a combined 25 points against the Chargers and Seahawks without Rice, the latter of which tied the fewest points scored in quarterback Patrick Mahomes’ career. Fantasy managers can comfortably re-insert Rice into rosters as an upside WR2 against the Broncos, against whom Rice caught both targets for 19 yards and a touchdown in Week 1.
  • KC Wide Receiver #4
    That now marks consecutive days on the practice field for the veteran receiver whom has missed the previous two games. The Chiefs also had their bye in Week 5, giving Rice a full three weeks of recovery, which combines with his recent practice availability to make it likely he returns to face the Broncos. The Chiefs managed just 25 combined points in the two games without Rice.
  • KC Wide Receiver #4
    Rice, who hasn’t played since Week 4 against the Raiders, would be a big addition to the struggling Kansas City offense if he’s able to practice this week and suit up in Week 8 against the Broncos. Rice had been dominating targets in the Chiefs’ check-down offense, and would likely continue in that role if he can return this weekend. No other pass catcher in the Chiefs offense is a must-play for fantasy purposes for now.
  • KC Wide Receiver #4
    No real surprise here after Rice was ruled out on Friday, with the Chiefs once again shorthanded as they look to remain one of two remaining undefeated teams in the league following the loss by the 49ers earlier in the day. Expect Xavier Worthy and Jalen Royals to serve as the top two receivers with Rice inactive and Tyquan Thornton done for the season, with Andrew Armstrong and rookie Cyrus Allen on hand to soak up situational snaps.

    Jets head coach Aaron Glenn said Omar Cooper (ankle) will be a full participant in Friday’s practice.

    Assuming all goes well, Cooper will likely be removed from the injury report before the end of the day, meaning he will be good to go for Sunday’s game against the Bills. Cooper caught eight passes for 58 yards in Week 9’s loss to the Chiefs, but that was with Garrett Wilson (concussion) sidelined. While we wouldn’t expect another 11-target outing from Cooper with Wilson expected to be active for Week 10, he could have some FLEX appeal after yet another strong showing. We will check back in with a final status update on Cooper when the team announces it later in the day.

    Jets head coach Aaron Glenn said he is “confident” that Garrett Wilson (concussion) will play in Week 10 against the Bills.

    Glenn said Wilson has one more step to clear before he is out of the league’s concussion protocol. Wilson missed last week’s game against the Chiefs due to his brain injury, but has practiced in a limited capacity twice this week and is trending toward a return. We will get a final update on Wilson once he has officially cleared the protocol, but fantasy managers can start him as a mid-to-high-end WR2 in a game that could feature plenty of points against a high-powered Bills offense.

    Jaguars head coach Liam Coen said Jordan Davis will not play in Week 10 against the Titans.

    Neither Davis nor recently acquired safety Jessie Bates had bye weeks with their previous teams, which Coen noted when announcing that the two players would be sidelined for Week 10. The decision to sit both players will essentially give them a “bye week,” and it conveniently comes in a week when the Jaguars face an inferior opponent in Tennessee. Both players should be good to go in Week 11 when the Jaguars visit the Giants.

    Ravens head coach Jesse Minter released a statement saying Lamar Jackson (thumb) will be out for the next 6-10 weeks.

    On the short end of this timeline, Jackson could return in Week 16 against the Browns. On the long end, Jackson would be looking at returning around the Wild Card or Divisional Round of the playoffs if the Ravens make the postseason. This timeline closely aligns with the 6-9 week absence NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported earlier in the week. If this isn’t a season-ender for Lamar, it will be close, and how the Ravens perform over the next several weeks with Jacoby Brissett under center will likely determine whether the Ravens dress him for the final few weeks of the season, even if he is ready to go. Minter said that Jackson is “doing well” after suffering his injury in Week 8 against the Bills, which is encouraging, but we’re a long way from knowing if a return for Jackson is truly in the cards. The 4-5 Ravens have lost their last four games but hope to turn things around on Monday night when they play host to the Chargers.

    Falcons signed CB C.J. Henderson to a two-year extension.

    The former 2020 first-rounder can earn up to $20 million on his new deal, per NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo, with $11 million being guaranteed. Henderson was drafted No. 9 overall by the Jaguars in 2020, but has since bounced around to the Panthers, Texans, and Steelers, and was actually cut by the Falcons in August 2025 during final roster cutdowns after camp. Since then, Henderson has played his way not only onto the 53-man roster, but into a starting role. He has started six of the eight games he has appeared in for Atlanta this season, totaling 41 tackles, nine pass breakups, and one fumble recovery while earning a PFF coverage grade of 65.3. Playing almost exclusively on the outside, he has allowed opposing receivers to go for 252 yards and three touchdowns on 44 targets.

    Falcons signed DE Cameron Thomas to a three-year contract extension.

    Thomas has started all nine games he has appeared in for the Falcons this season. The 26-year-old lineman spent the previous two seasons in Cleveland with head coach Kevin Stefanski, and then joined Stefanski in Atlanta on a one-year deal this offseason. Thomas has totaled 25 tackles, two sacks, and one TFL this season for the Falcons, earning a PFF grade of 77.2. His deal is worth up to $33 million and he will now be under contract through the 2029 season.

    Malik Nabers caught 5-of-7 targets for 44 yards in the Giants’ Week 10 loss to the Commanders.

    Nabers was clearly not a point of emphasis in a game expected to carry significant weather impacts. Despite the weather subsiding in the second half, McCarthy remained fixed on Isaiah Likely, feeding the veteran tight end 11 targets. The matchup also played a role in the game plan, with the Commanders missing numerous key linebackers while blitzing at an above average rate. Nabers is in a good spot to bounce back against the Jaguars in Week 11, where he’ll return to WR1 status in fantasy circles.

    Malachi Fields caught 3-of-4 targets for 62 yards in the Giants’ Week 10 loss to the Commanders.

    The New York wide receivers were clearly limited by a game plan to feature tight end Isaiah Likely, with the starting trio of Malik Nabers, Fields, and Darnell Mooney combining for just 10 receptions, one more than the nine of Likely. Even so, Fields continued to demonstrate a strong connection with quarterback J.J. McCarthy as the rookie finished second on the team in receiving despite seeing only four targets. The highlight of the game came in the second half when McCarthy threaded a ball over one defender and underneath two more down the left sideline for a 25-yard gain to Fields. Although his weekly volume likely won’t be vast enough to return consistent fantasy production without an injury to Nabers or Likely, Fields continues to show the growth dynasty managers were hoping for.

    Isaiah Likely caught 9-of-11 targets for 127 yards and a touchdown in the Giants’ Week 10 loss to the Commanders.

    Likely as clearly the going-in game plan in a game expected to be heavily influenced by weather. The rain cleared in the first half but Likely remained the featured option through the air, likely influenced by heavy blitz rates and unrelenting pressure from the Washington defense. The 11-target game was the fifth time this season that the veteran tight end hit double-digit targets but the first time doing so with J.J. McCarthy under center. Likely remains a surefire TE1 ahead of a difficult matchup against the Jaguars in Week 11.

    Cam Skattebo rushed 18 times for 78 yards and two touchdowns in the Giants’ Week 10 loss to the Commanders, adding 44 yards on three receptions.

    Skattebo immediately returned to a workhorse role following the shortcomings of Devin Singletary in Week 10, the latter of whom saw but one opportunity to the 22 of Skattebo. The Skatt-man bookended halftime with a score from one yard out on the team’s final possession of the first half and a score from 13 yards out on the team’s first possession of the second half, earning two backflips in the process. The second-year back also escaped down the sideline for a 34-yard reception in the first quarter to pad his counting stats. Despite the resurgence in workload, Skattebo will be a borderline FLEX option in a difficult matchup against the pass-funnel Jaguars in Week 11.
