Harrison catches first touchdown as Texan

Parsons is still working his way back from the torn ACL he suffered late in the 2025 season. Per Rapoport, Parsons is expected to return to practice this week, meaning he will be designated to return from injured reserve in the coming days. He will then ramp up for a few weeks before hopefully returning in Week 12 against the Rams. Green Bay’s Week 11 bye will give him some extra time to get fully up to speed.

A public records request revealed three additional accusations of domestic violence against Jacobs over the weekend. That is on top of the initial incident in which Jacobs ultimately pleaded no contest to misdemeanor battery and criminal damage to property. The NFL put out a statement saying they will continue to look into Jacobs’ situation. Even though Jacobs was removed from the Commissioner’s Exempt List two weeks ago, the league’s investigation was still ongoing. Rapoport notes that the league is also looking into whether Jacobs was “upfront” with them about his disturbing legal situation. Of note, Jacobs’ team pushed to have video of the most recent incident sealed from public access while the league actively sought to have it released. Rapoport makes it sound like it may take some time for a suspension to be announced, but it’s more likely than not that Jacobs is suspended because of the most recent revelations.

Meyers was limited in the Jags’ first two practices of the week before being downgraded to a DNP on Friday. The team listed him as questionable, though the DNP was likely maintenance in hindsight. Meyers has topped three catches or 50 yards in just two games this year. He did, however, see 10 targets in the Jags’ Week 6 loss to the Texans before their bye. Meyers is in the WR4 mix for Week 8.

Week 7 was Gainwell’s first game with more than seven touches all year. He handled 14 opportunities, all of which were carries, and they came in a 30-point blowout win over the Panthers. Unless the Bucs stay hot and roll over the Falcons, expect Gainwell’s touch total to return to the single digits. He is barely in the RB4 mix for Week 8.

NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported an hour ago that Braelon Allen will get the start, but he didn’t explicitly rule out Hall for Week 8. Fowler’s report makes things relatively black and white. Hall will miss today’s game versus the Raiders. He got in three practices this week before being listed as questionable on Friday. Though a Week 9 return is on the table, the Jets’ failure to put Hall on IR, only for him to miss at least five games, suggests his injury is worse than they initially expected. It’s possible he’s held out beyond today’s game. Braelon Allen will continue to dominate the Jets’ backfield touches until Hall returns.

Burks was limited in Friday’s practice before being listed as questionable. With Terry McLaurin done for the year, Burks is one of several role players for the Commanders who will be asked to step up in the back half of 2026. Burks has nine catches for 152 yards and two scores in five appearances this year.

The Panthers netted second-, third-, fourth-, and fifth-round picks for McCaffrey when they sent him to San Francisco in 2022. Indy reportedly turned down an offer of a second-round selection plus another pick for Taylor, meaning they have their eyes set on the full compensation that Carolina landed. The fact that the Colts abruptly changed their stance on trading Taylor at all this weekend suggests it’s only a matter of time before a deal gets done. They have until November 10th, the Tuesday after Week 9, to find a trade partner.

Rapoport mentioned that Breece Hall is still dealing with his quad injury, though he didn’t explicitly say that Hall will not play this week. For now, fantasy managers should assume he is out, marking his fifth absence because of the injury. Allen is averaging 20.8 touches and 105 yards from scrimmage without Hall this year. He is back on the RB1/2 border for Week 8.

Schefter threw out several names, many of whom have already been bandied about as trade candidates. Among the lesser-discussed options, he included Jerry Jeudy and Jauan Jennings in addition to Ridley. All three are veteran wideouts who have simply disappeared in the current iterations of their respective offenses. Even with new landing spots in the cards for the trio, none of them are worth holding onto in standard fantasy leagues. Ridley has five catches for 81 yards this year. He is expected to play through his hip injury today.

Though teams can change their minds in very short periods of time, Rapoport’s wording on this matter is rather definitive. Sitting at 2-5 with Jalen Hurts out for the year, it makes sense for the Eagles to be sellers at the trade deadline. Players including Dallas Goedert, Riq Woolen, and Hollywood Brown have also been the subject of trade rumors. All three are more likely than Barkley to land with new teams over the next week. Barring a change of heart from GM Howie Roseman, Barkley will continue to be the focal point of a failing offense for the remainder of the season.
