The 27-year-old was benched in Vegas’ Week 18 win over the Chiefs after completing one of four passes for three yards and an interception. His other start was one of the worst games any quarterback had all season — a 15-of-25, 64-yard, dead-on-arrival clunker in a 31-0 loss to the Eagles. Perhaps Pickett can resurrect himself in a better situation.

This move makes much more sense in the wake of the Joe Mixon signing not actually coming to fruition. Henry will take Jadarian Price’s spot on the roster. Henry finished the preseason with 26 carries for 105 yards and a touchdown for the Commanders. He may eventually find some work in this room, though it probably won’t happen right away.

Alt suffered the injury in Week 4 when Nick Emmanwori slammed into him from behind while trying to down Justin Herbert. It sounds like there’s a real chance that he misses Week 5. Somehow, the 2025 Chargers offensive line has returned.

Sounds like we should be counting James out for Week 5’s game against the Broncos, and perhaps Week 6 as well. The safety did not play in Week 4’s loss to the Seahawks, leaving Tarheeb Still as the main slot cornerback with 2026 fourth-rounder Genesis Smith seeing an elevated role.

McConkey has spent this season as more minute to minute than day to day. He left Week 3’s game with a re-aggravation of his foot injury that was managed all week leading up to the game. It would be unsurprising to see him managed again this week, and he is no sure thing to suit up against the Broncos on Sunday.

The Ravens have a pair of rookie tight ends behind Smythe on the roster in fourth-rounder Matt Hibner and fifth-rounder Josh Cuevas. This ultimately may hurt Derrick Henry more than anyone as Smythe, a non-receiving threat, was a good blocker.

We’re looking for an anti-transaction tag. Mixon will remain a free agent after the first real interest he received since being released by the Texans in March. It’s not broadly encouraging for his chances of reviving his career that the Seahawks took a look at his medicals and said “no thanks.”

He has decided to walk away from the Bears after just one game healthy. Injuries took a major toll on Davenport’s career; he didn’t play 10 games in any season from 2023-2026. His best season was probably his nine-sack 2021 with the Saints.

Washington will be trying to keep their season on the tracks after falling to 1-3 against the Colts while having to go to third-stringer Athan Kaliakmanis. It’s unsurprising that they’re rushing Daniels back. Even if you factor in an elevated chance of re-injury, Daniels probably clears the QB1 line for fantasy managers against the Giants.

The 34-year-old vet functioned as an emergency Fred Warner replacement last year and will presumably get a shot to be active for the Rams in the near future.

Mannion defended his approach during a Tuesday presser, two days after the Eagles offense — missing DeVonta Smith and Saquon Barkley — sputtered to a loss against the Rams. The Eagles have put Jalen Hurts under center and utilized play action much more than usual this season. It’s a strategy that hasn’t paid off quite yet. Hurts ranks 31st out of 38 qualifying QBs in adjusted yards per attempt on passes from under center; his 18 percent success rate from under center is by far the worst in the NFL. It’s hard to envision brighter days ahead for Hurts if Smith remains sidelined. He’s barely startable in 12-team formats for now.
