  • FA Defensive Back #4

    NFL Network’s Cameron Wolfe reports free agent DB Malcolm Butler will meet with the Falcons.
    Butler is a former Pro Bowler who is best known for his Super Bowl-winning interception off Russell Wilson in Super Bowl XLIX. The 33-year-old vet hasn’t played an NFL snap since 2020 and was released by the Patriots last August with an injury settlement. It will be interesting to see if the former Pro Bowler is able to latch on with the Falcons before the start of the season.
  • HOU Wide Receiver #12

    Nico Collins (hamstring) did not practice Wednesday.
    The Texans will not open his practice window today. Collins is on injured reserve and Houston needs to designate him to return before he can officially practice. Not doing so on Wednesday is a strong indicator that the team plans to hold him out for at least one more week as he works his way back from the hamstring injury. If he doesn’t suit up on Sunday, Tank Dell will be C.J. Stroud’s top option against the Lions.
  • CAR Wide Receiver #19
    Adam Thielen (hamstring) did not practice Wednesday.
    Thielen was designated to return from injured reserve two weeks ago. He has been practicing in a limited capacity twice a week while getting Fridays off. A DNP on Wednesday could mean things are not progressing as expected, or it could just be a slight change in his practice regimen. Either way, the veteran receiver looks likely to be out this week. Xavier Legette will remain the Panthers’ top wideout for Week 10, keeping him on the edge of the WR3 ranks.
  • NYG Wide Receiver #86
    Darius Slayton (concussion) did not practice Wednesday.
    Per head coach Brian Daboll, Slayton has not made as much progress through the league’s concussion protocols as Tyrone Tracy had at this point last week. Tracy managed to clear the protocols and suit up on Sunday. It sounds like Slayton is at a high risk of missing Week 10 versus the Panthers. Jalin Hyatt will take his spot in the lineup if can’t suit up, though fantasy managers shouldn’t be eager to add the wind sprinter. Hyatt has one catch for six yards this year.
  • DAL EDGE #11
    Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy said EDGE Micah Parsons (ankle) is expected to practice on a rep count Wednesday.
    Parsons did not practice at all last week before being ruled out, so this is a major step in the right direction. He has missed four games while nursing the ankle injury he suffered in Week 4. His return will be a boon for the Dallas defense but appears to be too little too late for the team as a whole. With Dak Prescott on injured reserve, Dallas’s season is on life support heading into Week 10 versus the Eagles.
  • DAL Wide Receiver #88
    CeeDee Lamb (shoulder) is expected to be limited in Wednesday’s practice.
    Per head coach Mike McCarthy, Micah Parsons is expected to practice on a rep count and Lamb is in a “similar situation.” It’s a good sign for Lamb, who was initially considered to be “week-to-week” with a shoulder injury. Subsequent reports have been more optimistic about his odds of suiting up on Sunday. Even if healthy, Lamb’s fantasy outlook took a hit in Week 9 when the Cowboys lost Dak Prescott to a hamstring injury. Still dominating the targets for a now Cooper Rush-led offense, Lamb will cling to WR1 value versus a middling Philly defense this week.
  • BUF Wide Receiver #0
    Bills head coach Sean McDermott said WR Keon Coleman (wrist) could miss multiple weeks.
    Though the rookie has not been ruled out of Week 10’s game against the Colts, McDermott said the wrist issue could be a multi-week absence for Coleman, who has emerged as the team’s clear WR1 over the past few weeks. A Coleman absence would conceivably open up for targets for Amari Cooper and Khalil Shakir. The Bills could always revert to the run-heavy ways of earlier in the season with Coleman sidelined.
  • NYJ Wide Receiver #14
    Jets interim head coach Jeff Ulbrich said Malachi Corley and Xavier Gipson could see more involvement in the team’s offense.
    This comes a day after the Jets traded Mike Williams to the Steelers after Williams ran a wrong route a few weeks ago in a loss to the Bills. Corley had an 18-yard rush last week against the Texans, and has just one catch on the season. The 65th pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, Corley could mix in with the New York offense as a slot option but won’t be fantasy relevant. Gipson, a kick returner who has four catches on seven targets this season, could also see an uptick in playing time.
  • JAX Quarterback #16
    Trevor Lawrence (shoulder) was limited in Wednesday’s practice.
    Lawrence banged up his shoulder in last week’s loss to the Eagles and could be limited in practice throughout the week ahead of Sunday’s game against the Vikings. Mac Jones would get the start if Lawrence is unable to play through the injury.
  • CLE Quarterback #4
    Browns general manager Andrew Berry said it’s “a possibility” Deshaun Watson (Achilles) will play again for the Browns.
    Watson is out for the season with a torn Achilles and is due $46 million in each of the next two years. The Browns might figure a way to move on from Watson, 29, this offseason, and if he stays put, he likely won’t be ready for game action until the middle of the 2025 season. Watson’s return to Cleveland remains a long shot.
  • JAX Quarterback #14
    Jaguars signed QB C.J. Beathard from the Dolphins practice squad.
    Beathard will rejoin the Jaguars after spending the past two seasons in Jacksonville as Trevor Lawrence’s backup. Last year, Beathard threw for 349 yards and a touchdown in seven appearances for the Jaguars.
