Wallace made five spot starts filling in for Pouncey last year and graded out positively in run blocking. He only needs to hold off David Snow to keep the No. 2 center job. A career journeyman, 29-year-old Wallace re-signed to a three-year, $3.48 million deal with the Steelers this offseason.

Keeping a 29-year-old running back on the final year of his contract on your 1-7 cellar franchise is certainly a choice a team is allowed to make. We don’t know if it’s the one we’d make, but Pollard will be here to hover around RB2 value in games the Titans are pesky and RB3 value in games where the Titans offense plays as we’ve come to expect.

McCord! Daniel Jones throwing to Ashton Dulin! All the stars are here in Week 10! Even in an elevated matchup, there’s little reason to believe that McCord will be more than a bottom-five superflex option this week. And this might wind up being one of his good starts, if indeed the Dolphins commit to giving him multiple cracks while Malik Willis is on injured reserve.

He had clearly been laboring since the bye week and this will give Willis some time to heal. This is not regarded as a season-ending injury and Willis will be eligible to return in Week 14. In the mean time, it appears we’re all about to see how well the roster cutdown Kyle McCord trade works out for the Dolphins.

It was an obvious fit. Downs will slot in as Kansas City’s No. 2 wideout behind Rashee Rice and his fantasy stock receives a slight upgrade — though we felt like we’ve spent all year saying that and never seeing any actual returns for it — while Xavier Worthy moves back to the undesirable FLEX shadow zone. The Colts had to make this trade as Downs was a free agent at year’s end, but it has left them with a completely indecipherable wideout room. Ashton Dulin is perhaps the No. 1 target Daniel Jones has outside of Tyler Warren and Jonathan Taylor.

He’ll be a candidate for a practice squad spot if he wants to stay. Moore was released to make room for the activation of Xavier Legette off injured reserve.

The Chargers finally make a move, dealing a player who was considered a burgeoning star a few years ago away for a light deadline return. Henley had a career-worst 38.3 PFF coverage grade this year but is still a good tackler and should give the Broncos some oomph on run defense down the stretch.

Multiple teams, per Pelissero, offered a second-round pick. It sounds like Indianapolis was holding out for a first. Playing out the season in Indy, Taylor will likely retain RB1 value despite a gross situation. It should be noted that Seth McGowan had begun to cut into Taylor’s playing time a bit, but with the Colts now committed to Taylor for the short-term, it’s plausible that he’ll operate at a 70-75 percent of snaps player for the remainder of the season. McGowan retains contingency value in fantasy leagues but will not stumble into a major role barring injury.

Schultz reports the Vikings called on Herbert, but the Chargers had no interest in moving on. It’s hard to understand what Herbert’s market value would have been — this has been one of the most disgusting outlier seasons for a previously good quarterback in recent memory — but the Chargers appear ready to move forward with him as their franchise quarterback.

In other words, Kirk Cousins could immediately slide in as the starting quarterback. As for Murray, he appears safe to drop in most formats. Call of Duty released on October 23. Not sure why that appeared in this post, but we seem to be unable to backspace it.

We’re sure we’ll get something more official from the team once Klint Kubiak has a press conference, but this is the obvious move. The No. 1 overall pick will face a gauntlet in his first three games, starting with the defending champion Seahawks in Week 10. It’s not an immediate re-draft add situations outside of deep leagues, but Mendoza could eventually factor into the re-draft formula this season.
