Schefter made the disclosure on Monday morning’s Get Up. The quarterback market is already drying up for Fields, and we haven’t even reached the legal tampering period. With Russell Wilson now in Pittsburgh, Baker Mayfield back in Tampa Bay, and the Bears unlikely to keep Fields, Atlanta and Minnesota feel like the most logical landing spots for the former No. 11 overall pick. However, a lack of interest could make a starting gig tough to come by for Fields in 2024. Fields threw for 2,562-16-9 in 13 games for the Bears last season, and added another 657 yards and four touchdowns on the ground. Initially expected to cost teams a second or third-round pick on the trade market, it’s possible teams would rather take their shots on free agency or in the draft to improve their quarterback position rather than use a Day 2 pick on Fields.

Wilson missed Week 9 because of the concussion but has cleared the league’s concussion protocol ahead of today’s game. Jets coach Aaron Glenn told reporters on Friday he expected Wilson to play, so this doesn’t come as much of a surprise. In a potential shootout with the Bills, Wilson will push for a high-end WR2 designation this week.

St. Brown played through the rib injury last week. He remained limited in all three practices before this week’s game. He’s likely not at full strength, but there was never much risk of him missing today’s game. He remains a high-end WR1.

A.J. Brown is also expected to play. We will get confirmation from the team within the hour, but fantasy managers who are already rising and grinding can get Stevenson and Brown back in their lineups. Stevenson will shuffle back into the RB2 mix. We will expect to see some Corey Kiner touches to keep Stevenson fresh.

Njoku logged a week of limited sessions before drawing the questionable tag for Monday Night Football. He will need to be activated from injured reserve prior to Monday to play. Fantasy managers are likely better off making alternate plans considering the Chargers don’t play until Monday.

McConkey heads into Monday Night Football listed as questionable after failing to practice through Friday. The veteran receiver missed Week 9 when it was revealed he had been dealing with back spasms during warmups. Fantasy managers are likely better off making alternate plans considering the Chargers play in the final game of the week.

Brooks returns to a backfield once again without Josh Jacobs, appearing likely to serve as the preferred passing down back while Kaleb Johnson handles early-down duties. Moore remains unlikely to be consistently involved in the offense but brings a sizable boost to the special teams unit. The top duo of Christian Watson and Matthew Golden should continue to dominate targets through the air for one of the most pass-heavy offenses in the league.

Henderson will now miss the coming four games, at minimum, after missing the previous two, with what the team is calling neurological symptoms. Whatever it is that Henderson is currently going through is clearly bigger than football. Rhamondre Stevenson is currently listed as questionable for Week 10 but is not expected to play, leaving the backfield in the hands of Corey Kiner in the immediate future. Here’s hoping for a speedy recovery for the electric running back.

Legette will make his return to a passing offense currently dominated by Tetairoa McMillan, Jalen Coker, and tight end Darren Waller, unlikely to return a usable fantasy score in his first game since Week 2. He is not on the fantasy radar despite the plus matchup against the Saints.

Brooks will miss his seventh consecutive game as he attempts to return from a core muscle injury. He managed a week of limited sessions before initially being listed as doubtful, ultimately ruled out. Chuba Hubbard will again serve as a legitimate workhorse in a plus matchup against the Saints and can be treated as a back-end RB1 in Week 10.

It’s yet another blow to the depth of a backfield devastated by injuries this season, leaving lead back Javonte Williams again positioned well to see a workhorse role against the 49ers. The team elevated running back Israel Abanikanda in an associated move, who is likely to serve as the primary change of pace option in Week 10.
