NFL fantasy football news and player signals for Friday, October 23, 2026

Mentioned as banged up; one manager listed Devonta Smith as backup for Puka and Goedert as backup to Smith, suggesting multiple TE concerns this week.

Backup TE option for one manager (behind Puka Nacua). One manager has Smith in one league and Goedert in another, requesting clarity on both before Sunday. Another manager has both on same team and expressed frustration. Uncertainty about availability alongside Goedert's status.

Expected to play despite Eagles' widespread injury situation. Community consensus is Barkley will be featured heavily ("every play Saquon"; "only Saquon"). One manager joked about needing RB1 production from him. Appears to be Eagles' only reliable offensive weapon vs. Dallas.

Did not practice Friday; knee injury status unclear heading into Monday night vs. Cowboys. Community split between concern about availability and speculation that Eagles are resting players before MNF. Multiple managers report having Goedert as primary or backup TE option and are scrambling for replacements (Hockenson, Higbee, Otton, Gesicki, Muth mentioned). One manager benched Loveland for Goedert and regrets it.

The Raiders are short on available bodies at wide receiver and need someone beyond Tre Tucker to emerge as a dependable contributor, indicating Tucker is the team's primary established option at the position but the team requires additional depth and production from the receiver room.

Bech, who suffered a broken forearm against the Saints, is eligible to return from injured reserve next week after missing the mandatory four games and said he is ready to go. His importance both in the pass game and as a run blocker, coupled with his special teams versatility, give him a significant advantage over Dont'e Thornton in terms of a roster spot and address big-time needs for the Raiders; at this point, it would be a surprise if Bech was not immediately added to the 53-man roster.

Thornton, a fourth-round pick from Tennessee in 2025, finished his rookie season with 10 catches for 135 yards and no touchdowns in 15 games, underscoring the significant development work that remained. The breakthrough the Raiders envisioned has yet to materialize, and his current situation—facing a roster deadline with limited time to prove he can contribute—only sharpens concerns about whether his physical gifts (6-foot-5, 4.30-second 40-yard dash) will translate to consistent NFL production.

Thornton's practice window opened Oct. 7 and closes Oct. 28; if not activated by then, he remains on injured reserve for the rest of the season. The Raiders have had more than two weeks to evaluate him, and their decision to keep him off the roster suggests he has yet to demonstrate what the coaching staff needs to see. Additionally, Jack Bech, eligible to return from injured reserve next week after a broken forearm, is expected to be immediately added to the 53-man roster given his importance in the pass game, run blocking, and special teams versatility, further clouding Thornton's roster prospects.

Thornton remains on injured reserve despite being healthy and facing a clear need at wide receiver for the Raiders; coach Klint Kubiak stated he will not be activated for Sunday's game against the Rams, extending his season-long absence. Kubiak acknowledged Thornton is 'making big progress' and 'done a lot of good things in practice' but is 'still working back into getting his football legs back after missing a lot of time,' indicating the coaching staff does not yet trust him to contribute on Sundays despite his health status.

One comment: 'Like Cmc, pass catchers had to be sacrificed for Saquon's return,' implying Saquon's return elevated RB value at expense of pass catchers. Positioned as strong performer.

One manager mentions 'this is a must win week and I play against K9 and Derrick Henry' suggesting Henry is strong opponent asset creating pressure.

One manager mentions 'I have Puka, Devonta, Love, Egbuka, Warren, Rice between two teams' and another 'I have Puka and Devonta and Evans, and Tyson.' Positioned as part of injury-plagued roster but no specific discussion.

One manager mentions 'My wr corps of devonta, Evans, and Ladd makes me cry' as part of injury-plagued WR group. No specific injury or role discussion.

One manager mentions 'might as well roll waddle in place of Smith for me' as pivot option. Positioned as available alternative but no substantive discussion.

One manager mentions 'My wr corps of devonta, Evans, and Ladd makes me cry.' Another: 'I have Puka and Devonta and Evans, and Tyson.' One comment notes 'Evans projection never hit 0.0' and another states 'He has been ruled out.' Positioned as injured/ruled out, adding to manager's WR depth crisis.

One manager mentions 'Already down 70 against maye, rhamondre, and Loveland lol' suggesting Stevenson is strong performer in opponent's lineup.

Mentioned as strong performer in opponent's lineup. One manager: 'I'm pretty well out of contention anyway lol' while noting opponent has 'CMC, KW3 and Burden.' Another: 'My wr corps of devonta, Evans, and Ladd makes me cry. Thank God I got germy to roll with kw3 and cmc.' Positioned as reliable RB asset.

One manager mentions 'Like Cmc, pass catchers had to be sacrificed for Saquon's return,' implying CMC is healthy and productive. Another: 'I'm pretty well out of contention anyway lol' while noting opponent has 'CMC, KW3 and Burden.' Positioned as strong performer in opponent's lineup.

One manager asks 'I think I have to adjust and start Jacobs over Devonta right?' suggesting Jacobs as flex alternative if Smith sits. No substantive discussion; positional pivot context.

One manager mentions 'I either start Xavier Worthy or wait a throw Flournoy into my lineup Monday night if Devonta is out.' Positioned as Sunday option vs Monday pivot decision.

Mentioned as Monday night pivot option if Smith sits. One comment: 'Picking up Darius Cooper in case he misses on MNF.' Another: 'Pick up Lemon (or Darius Cooper if he's available).' Positioned as late-week emergency option.

Mentioned as waiver pivot option for Smith owners. One comment: 'I'm looking at Keenan allen, makai lemon and jordan watkins on the waivers.' Another: 'Pick up Lemon (or Darius Cooper if he's available). If Smith doesn't play, you can slot in Lemon for monday night.' Positioned as Monday night pivot with upside if Smith ruled out.

One manager mentions 'Tucker Kraft, Josh Jacob's or Emanuel Wilson' as flex options if Smith is out, suggesting Kincaid not in consideration. No substantive discussion; omitted from pivot conversation.

One comment notes 'Addison needs JJ to get hurt' in context of Addison as waiver pivot, implying Addison is depth-dependent and not primary option. No injury or projection data; contextual role limitation.

Mentioned as waiver pivot option for Smith owners. One manager asks about 'Addison, Concepcion, Wan'dale, Flournoy' as replacements. Comment suggests 'Wandale is safest floor, worst ceiling' and 'I'd go with Wandale. He's the real WR1 on his team and is more consistent than the others with a better floor.' Positioned as floor play with limited upside.

Mentioned as waiver pivot option for Smith owners. One comment: 'I'm looking at Keenan allen, makai lemon and jordan watkins on the waivers.' Another: 'I'd probably lean Keenan since he seems like a PPR scam as of late. Vikings might stop him from producing much, but if you can get like 8 for 40 out of him or something, might be your best pivot.' Described as PPR-dependent with floor risk vs Vikings but playable with Warren out.

One manager lists 'Puka, AJB, Devonta' as injury trifecta ruining their season. Another: 'I started AJB over Burden. Thankfully I had Loveland to balance it out a bit.' Mentioned as part of broader Eagles/injury-prone WR injury narrative but no specific Week 7 status discussed.

Multiple managers mention owning both Puka and Smith, describing frustration with dual WR1 injuries. One comment: 'Puka and Devonta, I thought we were past this.' Another: 'Puka, Devonta and AJB here. Completely lost interest after week 4.' Puka played Week 1 but has been injury-prone; Sunday 10am game slot (vs Smith's Monday) still creates adjustment difficulty. Represents broader season-long injury narrative.

One comment questions whether Hurts is 'THAT great of a passer' to enable Smith's production, suggesting QB limitations may affect Smith's ceiling even if healthy. No injury or projection data; contextual criticism of passing ability.

One comment jokes 'Dallas Goedert gonna get 35 targets, 13 catches for 39 yards' if Smith sits, implying target concentration but limited efficiency. Another manager notes having both Smith and Goedert creates Monday night pivot problem. No substantive injury or role discussion; primarily used as punchline about Eagles offense.

Emerging as primary pivot for Smith owners. Multiple comments cite him as preferred backup plan if Smith sits. One comment notes Bernard likely outscores Smith if both play due to Aaron Rodgers' QB advantage over McKee. Described as 'good problem to have' for managers with both on roster. High volume of mentions suggests strong waiver interest and confidence as floor play.

DNP Friday; beat reporter McLane got 'the sense' he will not play Week 7 vs Cowboys. Last week: DNP→LP→FP progression, played 60% routes with 14 targets and productive fantasy day. This week: two consecutive DNPs is worse sign. Hamstring injury recurrence after playing last week. Monday night game creates pivot urgency—managers cannot wait for Sunday slate. ESPN already projecting 0.0 points. Comments note he played hurt Week 3 then missed 2 games; some cite Fantasy Footballers' optimism as counterweight but most acknowledge risk is real given late-week timing.

.@​scott_pianowski thinks Jordan Love will throw 400+ yards against the Lions 👀

Young, a Raiders kick returner, has had costly fumbles this season, contributing to the team's special teams struggles despite decent overall EPA ranking.

Laube, a Raiders kick returner, has had costly fumbles this season, contributing to the team's special teams struggles despite decent overall EPA ranking.

Stafford, the reigning MVP at quarterback for the Rams, is part of a third-ranked offense in total yards through six weeks; however, the team's 2-4 record indicates offensive performance alone has not translated to wins, with special teams and injuries being primary culprits.

Young, a kick returner for the Raiders, has had costly fumbles this season, contributing to Vegas' special teams struggles and inconsistent return game performance.

Laube, a kick returner for the Raiders, has had costly fumbles this season, contributing to Vegas' special teams struggles despite the team's strong kicking performance.

Quad injury but participating in full practice; available for Houston's tight end position this week.

Foot injury but participating in full practice; available for Houston's tight end depth this week.

Expected to see increased usage and will be leaned on heavily by the Texans in David Montgomery's absence; positioned as the primary running back option this week.

Out with groin injury; starting running back unavailable for Houston's matchup against the Giants, creating backfield opportunity for backup options.

Expected return to lineup this weekend against the Giants after being sidelined for nearly two years; described as the biggest story of the week, signaling major fantasy impact and potential offensive boost for Houston.

Dobbins receives the ball 56% of the time he's been in the game for the Broncos, ranking him among the league's highest touch-percentage players; only Emmanuel Wilson and Derrick Henry have higher percentages among players with 70+ touches this season. However, Dobbins ranks 23rd in yards per touch at 3.88 among those 28 players with 70+ touches, indicating high volume but below-average efficiency.

Greg Cosell notes that there's not been a lot of clean, defined reads for Nix at the intermediate levels, and while it's easy to blame Nix, the offensive struggles are not usually just one guy's fault. This suggests systemic offensive line and play-calling issues compounding Nix's intermediate-level decision-making challenges.

Running back RJ Harvey has made big plays for the Broncos, particularly on screens. Sean Payton praises his instincts and progress early in Year 2, indicating positive development trajectory. Offensive coordinator Davis Webb has been reviewing his tape.

Running back Jonah Coleman delivered what Sean Payton wanted to see this week, indicating positive performance and role execution.

Tight end Nate Adkins could fill fullback roles if the Broncos didn't have a dedicated fullback. Sean Payton explains that teams without a fullback typically use a larger tight end to perform fullback duties and play special teams, and Adkins fits that profile.

Fullback snap count has decreased from last season. Sean Payton explains the variance depends on weekly game planning—whether the Broncos want to face the opponent's base defense or sub defense, which impacts Prentice's role in the gameplan.

Offensive coordinator Davis Webb is defending Nix hard and predicts he's about to go on a run. The source notes Nix has started slow in every NFL season and historically gets hot around this time, with perfect timing given the Broncos could close the gap on Kansas City with wins this week and next.

Courtland Sutton caught a crucial end-of-game route that the Broncos coaching staff specifically installed, leading to a field goal in a win against the Giants last season. The example illustrates Sutton's reliability in high-leverage situations and the coaching staff's trust in him for game-winning scenarios.

Greg Cosell notes there have not been a lot of clean, defined reads for Bo Nix at the intermediate levels in the Broncos offense. While it's easy to blame Nix, Cosell emphasizes the issues are not usually just one guy, suggesting systemic offensive problems beyond the quarterback's control are limiting his intermediate passing opportunities.

JK Dobbins has been on the field 56% of the time for the Broncos and received the ball 56% of the time when in the game; only Emmanuel Wilson and Derrick Henry have a higher touch percentage among players with 70+ touches this season. However, Dobbins ranks 23rd in yards per touch at 3.88 among the 28 players with 70+ touches, indicating high volume but below-average efficiency.

Sean Payton explained that fullback Adam Prentice's snap count has decreased from last season based on weekly game planning decisions regarding whether the team wants to attack the opponent's base or sub defense.

Sean Payton noted that tight end Nate Adkins could fill fullback-type roles if the team did not have a dedicated fullback, indicating Adkins has versatility in the offensive scheme.

Sean Payton mentioned J.K. Dobbins in context of self-scouting third-down and drop-back matchups, indicating the team carefully evaluates which back is in the game and their specific defensive matchups.

Sean Payton praised RJ Harvey's performance, noting he has made big plays on screens and is instinctive; Payton expressed positive sentiment about his progress early in Year 2.

Sean Payton confirmed he saw what he wanted from running back Jonah Coleman this week, indicating positive performance and role execution.

Sean Payton noted that Nix's mindset has been moving in a forward direction heading into the Cardinals game, with Payton saying all parties feel they have to be moving the needle forward.

Sean Payton indicated he is not prioritizing getting Nix to run more, noting that while there are certain on-the-move plays, much of that happens organically with back-to-the-quarterback defense; Payton stated running is not on his top-10 list of things the team is working on.

Offensive coordinator Davis Webb defended Nix and expressed confidence that he is about to go on a run; the source notes Nix has started slow in every NFL season but historically gets hot around this time, with perfect timing given the Broncos could close the gap on Kansas City Chiefs with wins this week and next week.

Dak Prescott's mobility has been critical in preventing sacks despite the Cowboys' offensive line allowing 30 total pressures, 25 QB hurries, and 5 QB hits over the past two weeks against Tampa Bay and Green Bay; his evasion ability has kept Dallas from surrendering a single sack despite protection breakdowns.

Dak Prescott's mobility has been the primary factor preventing sacks despite Dallas' offensive line struggles; in matchups against Tampa Bay and Green Bay over the past two weeks, the Cowboys allowed 30 total pressures, 25 QB hurries, and 5 QB hits, but Prescott's evasion kept them from allowing a single sack. This week against Philadelphia's aggressive defensive line—which recorded 17 pressures, 12 hurries, and 3 sacks against Carolina—Prescott faces another tough test if Dallas' protection issues persist.

Miller was involved in the play that resulted in Edmunds' season-ending injury; Edmunds crashed the backfield and landed hard on his right shoulder while attempting an arm tackle on Miller's third-down run.

Article mentions Dart as developing QB whose improvement could benefit Skattebo's role. One comment suggests JJ McCarthy is 'auditioning here for trade capital,' implying QB uncertainty. Limited fantasy relevance in thread.

One owner considering Wilson as alternative to Skattebo/Tracy in Week 7. Limited discussion but mentioned as potential pivot option.

Multiple owners explicitly choosing to start Bam Knight over Skattebo or Tracy due to backfield uncertainty. One comment notes Knight 'had the best production last week overall' and another owner states 'I'm playing Bam Knight over them. I don't like it. But that's how much I don't trust that backfield.' Emerging as preferred alternative for fantasy managers avoiding Giants RBs.

Multiple comments reference Singletary as potential lead back, with one high-upvoted comment suggesting 'Singletary about to lead them in carries.' Appears to be emerging as a committee option alongside Skattebo and Tracy, though limited specific discussion of his role or production.

Tracy received increased work last week over Skattebo, scoring 2 TDs on only 6 touches. Community skeptical of his long-term role; multiple comments note he is also a 'notorious fumbler' with his own ball-security issues. Some owners prefer him as pass-catcher in receiving formations, but consensus is neither Tracy nor Skattebo should be trusted as a workhorse. One comment suggests Tracy may see more value in pass-catching formations if JJ McCarthy is auditioning for trade capital.

Article projects Skattebo as potential workhorse if fully healthy from dislocated ankle; had 6 straight games with double-digit PPR points before injury in Week 8. However, community deeply divided: supporters argue he's Giants' best RB with superior elusiveness and pass-catching; detractors cite 4 fumbles in 5 games, 3.6 YPC rushing average, and recent benching by Harbaugh in favor of Tyrone Tracy and others. Owners frustrated by lack of carries last week despite being 'in the mix.' Consensus that actual role/workload remains highly uncertain; many waiting to see snap counts before trusting him.

With Tyler Warren ruled out, tight end Will Mallory is expected to receive more than normal snaps in a bigger rotation at the position alongside Mo Alie-Cox and Drew Ogletree in Week 7.

Harold Fannin is one of four young receivers in the Browns room alongside KC Concepcion, Isaiah Bond, and Denzel Boston; Jeudy's leadership value with these youth will disappear after this year as the coaching staff will provide all necessary development.

Second-year undrafted free agent Isaiah Bond has been underwhelming and ceding playing time to Jeudy; when Concepcion got injured against the Jets, Bond's increased role exposed his limitations as he failed to make multiple key catches.

Rookie KC Concepcion has usurped veteran Jerry Jeudy in the Browns receiving room and has been great; however, he needs to play so he can develop, and when he got injured against the Jets, it increased Isaiah Bond's role and exposed the depth chart weakness.

Rookie Denzel Boston has usurped veteran Jerry Jeudy in the Browns receiving room hierarchy; he and KC Concepcion have been great, though there has been little consistency behind them in the depth chart.

Jeudy's meter is hot right now due to several great catches at critical moments in games that placed the Browns in position to win; at 27 years old, trading him before the deadline makes sense to get draft capital, as after the season he will hit free agency and Cleveland will get nothing.

Jeudy is known for dropped passes; in his NFL career, he has 41 drops, of which 23 have occurred since relocating to Cleveland, though he has zero drops this year; his second Pro Bowl year in 2024 was followed by a disappointing 2025 season with 602 yards and a catch rate below 50%.

Jeudy is not worth being paid the $17.5 million he is receiving to catch only 12 balls through the season; his career in Denver was two seasons of mediocre production followed by a Pro Bowl year and then more mediocrity, including this year.

Jeudy's catch rate is less than 50% for the season; early-season targets show inconsistency: four targets vs Jacksonville (two caught), one target vs Tampa (dropped), three targets vs Pittsburgh (all caught for 36 yards), seven targets vs Jets (three caught), before rebounding with four catches vs Ravens.

Jeudy's recent performance has been a pleasant surprise; his four receptions against the Ravens were tone-setters and played a major part in the victory, making a trade far less likely and seemingly unwise given the Browns' 4-2 record and potential for a serious playoff run.

Jeudy provides veteran presence and depth for the young receiving room led by rookies Denzel Boston and KC Concepcion and second-year undrafted free agent Isaiah Bond; when Concepcion got injured against the Jets, Bond failed to make multiple key catches, demonstrating the value of Jeudy's experience.

The Arizona Cardinals got a second-round pick for disappointing Marvin Harrison Jr., but the haul for Jeudy will be nowhere near as lucrative; Harrison Jr. is younger, on a rookie contract, and reunited with the quarterback that made him a first-round pick, while Jeudy has an expensive contract and a longer track record of inconsistency.

Jeudy has been a disappointment after a career year in 2024; his 2025 season was mired with crucial drops and no production, and he has been usurped by rookies Denzel Boston and KC Concepcion in the receiving room hierarchy.

Marvin Harrison was traded away prior to the November 10 deadline; Jacob Amstel notes the Arizona Cardinals received a second-round pick for Harrison despite his disappointing performance, suggesting the trade market for veteran receivers may offer better returns than expected.

Isaiah Bond is having a poor start to 2026 with 8 targets, 5 receptions, 3 drops, and 37.5% drop rate (highest among Browns receivers); Caudill notes Bond will have a tough time catching up unless more injuries hit the WR room, and suggests he should work on his game during practice rather than receive significant snaps.

K.C. Concepcion has taken a starting job and reduced Jeudy's playing time; EZ Weav notes Concepcion was added in 2026 as a receiver alongside Denzel Boston to handle primary target load, allowing Jeudy to serve a complementary role; Caudill's 2026 stats show Concepcion with 20 targets, 18 receptions, 2 drops, and 10.0% drop rate.

Denzel Boston has taken a starting job and reduced Jeudy's playing time; EZ Weav notes Boston was added in 2026 as a receiver alongside K.C. Concepcion to handle primary target load, allowing Jeudy to serve a complementary role.

Jacob Amstel suggests Andrew Berry should reconsider trading Jeudy before the November 10 deadline; despite disappointing 2025 (mired with drops and no production) and being usurped by rookies Denzel Boston and KC Concepcion in 2026, the source notes the Arizona Cardinals received a second-round pick for a disappointing Marvin Harrison, implying Jeudy's trade value may be higher than perceived.

Caudill argues Jeudy is an expensive role player with fourth-round value minimum who is getting reduced snaps from the coaching staff; despite being a good blocking receiver with no locker room drama, he should receive more snaps than rookies Concepcion and Boston to maximize current winning chances, especially given Isaiah Bond's poor start (3 drops on 8 targets, 37.5% drop rate).

Glenn Bam Caudill highlights Jeudy's drop rate as a persistent problem: 2024 saw 13 drops (9% drop rate, among the highest in the league) despite 90 receptions and 1,229 yards; 2025 showed 10 drops (9.4% drop rate ranked #2 in the league) across 50 receptions and 602 yards; in 2026, Jeudy has 1 drop on 9 targets (11.1% drop rate) compared to rookies Boston (5.9%) and Concepcion (10.0%), indicating a chronic reliability issue that limits his value.

EZ Weav notes Jeudy's $17.5M/year contract limits trade return; comparable receivers like Dionte Johnson (moved from sixth to fifth round) and Christian Kirk (seventh-rounder) suggest minimal compensation available; with rookies Denzel Boston and K.C. Concepcion now handling primary target load, Jeudy serves a complementary role with limited opportunities but solid reliability, making a trade impractical unless cap space is needed or a veteran player of equivalent value is offered.

Kenny MacDonald argues Jeudy should remain a Cleveland Brown as a complementary depth piece and experienced weapon alongside developing rookies; his performance against Baltimore (four catches, 69 yards including the 33-yard game-winner setup) demonstrates current value, and his reaction to receiving the game ball showed he is bought in despite occasional body language concerns.

Through six games in 2026, Jeudy has 19 targets, 12 receptions for 150 yards, zero TDs, nine first-down conversions, 12.5 average per reception, 39 YAC, and zero drops; a roller coaster performer who disappears in games but delivers in clutch situations, including a 33-yard third-and-five reception against Baltimore that set up the winning field goal and 17-yard and 10-yard catches on Cleveland's final drive against Pittsburgh.

Young receiver Harold Fannin is part of the Browns' developing receiving room alongside KC Concepcion, Isaiah Bond, and Denzel Boston; he benefits from Jeudy's veteran leadership but will rely on coaching staff development after this season.

Second-year undrafted free agent Isaiah Bond has been underwhelming and ceding playing time to Jeudy; when his role increased due to Concepcion's injury against the Jets, he failed to make multiple key catches, and he has had a bad start to the year with a tough time catching up.

Rookie receiver KC Concepcion has been great and is competing for snaps with Jeudy; he needs to play to develop but should be getting more snaps than he currently receives, and his injury against the Jets increased Isaiah Bond's role.

Rookie receiver Denzel Boston has surpassed Jeudy on the depth chart and is part of a strong young receiving room; he and KC Concepcion have been great contributors, though consistency behind them remains a concern.

Jeudy provides veteran leadership and depth for the young Browns receiving room (Denzel Boston, KC Concepcion, Isaiah Bond, Harold Fannin); his presence helps the rookies and second-year undrafted free agents develop and provides insurance in case of injury, though this value expires after the current season.

Jeudy caught all four passes from QB Deshawn Watson against the Ravens, serving as a tone-setter in the victory; this recent performance was a pleasant surprise and demonstrated his ability to contribute in key moments against division rivals.

Jeudy's catch rate is less than 50% for the season; he has struggled with drops and inconsistency, catching only 12 balls through early games despite being targeted multiple times, with performances ranging from 2-of-4 catches to 3-of-7 catches across games.

Jeudy has been usurped by rookies Denzel Boston and KC Concepcion in the Browns receiving room; he is now the backup to a rookie and taking a backseat to Isaiah Bond, with his snap count and role diminished from his Pro Bowl season.

Jeudy is an expensive role player with a fourth-round value minimum; signed to a three-year extension worth $58M total, $41M guaranteed, $17.5M AAV, but is getting reduced play from the coaching staff and has underperformed relative to contract cost.

Malachi Corley is part of the Browns' receiver depth chart; the team has depth issues but also has receivers Isaiah Bond and Malachi Corley available.

Isaiah Bond is struggling in 2026 with 5 receptions on 8 targets and 3 drops (37.5% drop rate), the highest among Browns receivers; he is having a bad start to the year and will have a tough time catching up unless more injuries hit the WR room.

K.C. Concepcion has taken a starting job in 2026 and is receiving significant volume; he has 18 receptions on 20 targets with 2 drops (10.0% drop rate), establishing himself as a primary target in the Browns offense.

Denzel Boston has taken a starting job in 2026, reducing Jeudy's playing time; Boston has 16 receptions on 17 targets with only 1 drop (5.9% drop rate), the lowest among Browns receivers and demonstrating strong reliability.

Jeudy is an expensive role player with a fourth-round value minimum who is getting reduced play from the coaching staff; he signed a three-year, $58 million extension ($41 million guaranteed, $17.5M average annual salary) after being acquired for fifth- and sixth-round picks in 2024.

In limited opportunities in 2026, Jeudy has been fairly reliable; he has 8 receptions on 9 targets with only 1 drop (11.1% drop rate), significantly outperforming teammate Isaiah Bond (3 drops on 8 targets, 37.5% drop rate) and performing better than K.C. Concepcion (2 drops on 20 targets, 10.0% drop rate).

Jeudy's trade value is limited by his $17.5M/year contract and comparable receiver trades; the Panthers moved up from sixth to fifth round for Dionte Johnson in 2025, and the Jaguars gave up a seventh-rounder for Christian Kirk—both receivers roughly comparable to Jeudy in contract and production. Unless a partner offers a competent veteran player like the Steelers got for Johnson (CB Donte Jackson and a 6-7 pick swap), Jeudy's compensation would be minimal.

With the additions of receivers Denzel Boston and K.C. Concepcion in 2026, Jeudy no longer has to assume the role of primary target-bearer; Kevin Concepcion Jr. and Denzel Boston have taken the starting jobs, reducing the amount of time Jeudy is on the field.

Jeudy's 2025 production tanked compared to his Pro Bowl 2024 season; he went from 1,229 yards and 4 TDs in 2024 to 602 yards and 2 TDs in 2025 across 106 targets (47.2% catch rate), with a 9.4% drop rate ranked #2 in the league and 10 drops on 106 targets.

Jeudy is a roller coaster who disappears in games then catches clutch passes; in 2026 he has played in all six games with three starts, 19 targets, 12 receptions for 150 yards, zero TDs, nine first-down conversions, 12.5 average per reception, 39 YAC, and zero drops. He caught a 33-yard pass from Deshaun Watson on third-and-five that helped set up the winning field goal against Baltimore, and caught 17-yard and 10-yard passes on Cleveland's final drive that led to a 56-yard Andre Szmyt field goal to defeat Pittsburgh.

Huntley has started the last two games for the Ravens in Jackson's absence, going 1-1, but Baltimore's offense has struggled significantly without Jackson on the field, scoring just 40 points in the two and a half games with Huntley behind center. This offensive decline suggests Huntley's role as starter is temporary and dependent on Jackson's injury status.

Jackson has missed the last two games with a high ankle sprain suffered on Oct. 4 against the Titans and is nearing a return but remains uncertain about Week 7 availability against the Bengals. He told reporters Friday he's "heading in the right direction" but "can't call it right now" if he'll play, emphasizing he will only return if he can perform at full effectiveness: "If I can just go out there and feel the pain a little bit, I can play. But if I'm restricted and I can't do what I do, I'm not helping nobody." Ravens head coach Jesse Minter echoed this, stating the decision will be based on how Jackson feels and how effective he believes he can be.

The Ashton Jeanty efficiency has been horrendous in the rushing game, but his pass-game involvement is among the league's best at RB. RB targets per route run leaders through Week 6: 1. Ashton Jeanty - 29.8% (37 targets) 2. Jahmyr Gibbs - 29.6% (34) 3. Bijan Robinson - 29.0% (27) 4. Christian McCaffrey - 27.6% (35) 5. Kenneth Walker III - 27.3% (21) 6. Kyren Williams - 26.4% (39) 7. Chase Brown - 24.6% (28) 8. Kenneth Gainwell - 22.7% (17) 9. D'Andre Swift - 22.6% (21) 10. Aaron Jones Sr. - 2...

Third-string RB reportedly injured hamstring in Thursday practice; ruled out for Sunday per head coach Andy Reid; injury creates opportunity for rookie Jadyn Ott's elevation to active roster.

Starting WR set to miss second consecutive game due to hamstring injury; absence creates opportunity for Andrew Armstrong to receive extended playing time against Seattle on Sunday Night Football.

WR signed to 53-man roster after practice squad elevation for Week 6 against the Chargers; caught 1 pass for 13 yards in NFL debut with 42 offensive snaps played; expected to get the nod again against Seattle on Sunday Night Football with Rashee Rice sidelined by hamstring injury; saw extensive preseason action and was a strong candidate to make final roster before being waived at cut deadline.

Pittsburgh added Marquez Valdes-Scantling to the practice squad this week with expectation he will suit up against the Saints; the source notes it won't be a surprise if he ends up playing given the number of injuries the Steelers have at wide receiver, positioning him as a depth option likely to see action.

Stafford has 11 passing touchdowns and six interceptions, completing 65.9 percent of his passes. The source notes that his 11 passing touchdowns rank ninth in the league. Stafford is identified as the orchestrator of the Rams' offense under head coach Sean McVay, with the defensive coordinator Rob Leonard flagging him as presenting a special talent challenge with his gifted throwing ability, no-looks, and ability to extend plays.

Mayer is coming into his own after signing a rich contract extension and ranks third among Raiders pass catchers with 28 receptions for 266 yards and one touchdown. The source positions him as an emerging receiving threat in the Raiders' passing game, though behind Bowers and Tucker in the target hierarchy.

Washington Jr. is the Raiders' second-leading rusher with 34 carries for 168 yards and one touchdown. However, the rookie missed practice on Thursday with foot and back ailments, creating uncertainty for his availability. The source identifies him as part of the ground game strategy against the Rams' leaky interior defensive line but flags the injury concern as a potential limitation.

Jeanty has paced the Raiders running backs with 98 carries for 313 yards and one touchdown. The source identifies the ground game as integral to the Raiders' offensive success against the Rams despite Las Vegas ranking 30th in rushing production, noting that the Rams' defense has given up 762 rushing yards (seventh-most) and a 4.4 yards per carry average. The source advises testing the Rams' interior defensive line with gap- and power-run concepts, positioning Jeanty as a key component of this strategy against a leaky defense weakened by injuries.

Tucker is the Raiders' second-most productive pass catcher with 2 catches for 371 yards and three touchdowns. The source identifies him as a fleet-footed wide receiver who should be a primary target in the passing game strategy against the Rams' air defense, alongside Brock Bowers.

Bowers is the Raiders' most productive pass catcher with 28 receptions for 382 yards and three touchdowns. The source identifies him as an elite tight end who should be a primary target in the passing game against the Rams, noting that opposing defenses have trouble matching up with him despite the Bills' success using Christian Benford on him last week. The source advises the Raiders to exploit this matchup advantage.

Cousins leads the league with 14 passing touchdowns and has turned back the clock in Kubiak's offense, dropping dimes consistently. The source emphasizes that Kubiak has shown adeptness at getting targets open for his veteran quarterback, positioning Cousins as central to the Raiders' aerial attack strategy against the Rams' stingy air defense.

Marquez Valdes-Scantling was added to the Steelers practice squad this week and is expected to potentially suit up against the Saints given the team's wide receiver injury situation.

Stafford is the veteran quarterback orchestrating the Rams offense, completing 65.9 percent of his passes with 11 touchdowns to six interceptions. The Rams' aerial attack ranks first in attempts (242) and second in yards (1,732), with 11 passing touchdowns ranking ninth in the NFL. Raiders defensive coordinator Rob Leonard identified Stafford's ability to extend plays and use no-looks as the biggest challenge for the defense, emphasizing the need to finish through and stay with receivers when plays extend.

Washington Jr. is the rookie running back who paced the Raiders backfield with 34 carries for 168 yards and one score. However, he missed practice on Thursday with foot and back ailments, which could impact his availability for the Week 7 matchup against the Rams. The source identifies him as part of the duo the Raiders should deploy against Los Angeles' leaky interior defensive line.

Jeanty paced the Raiders running backs with 98 carries for 313 yards and one touchdown. The source argues the Raiders should test the interior of the Rams defensive line with gap- and power-run concepts with both Jeanty and Washington, and deploy outside/wide zone concepts, as the Rams allowed 120 and 202 rushing yards in their last two games against Arizona and Buffalo.

Mayer is coming into his own after signing a rich contract extension and is third on the Raiders in receiving production with 28 receptions for 266 yards and one touchdown. The source positions him as part of the receiving corps the Raiders should lean on against Los Angeles' defense.

Tucker is the fleet-footed wide receiver and second-most productive pass catcher for the Raiders with 2 catches for 371 yards and three touchdowns. The source identifies him as one of the elite receiving options the Raiders should funnel the passing game through against the Rams' stingy air defense.

Bowers is the elite tight end and most productive pass catcher for the Raiders with 28 receptions for 382 yards and three touchdowns. The source emphasizes opposing defenses have trouble matching up with Bowers and the Raiders should exploit that matchup advantage until the wheels fall off, though the Bills did well putting their top cornerback Christian Benford on him last week.

Cousins leads the league with 14 passing touchdowns and has turned back the clock in Kubiak's offense, dropping dimes for the Raiders' aerial attack which ranks seventh in yards (1,581) and second in touchdowns (14) in the NFL. The source notes the Raiders' strength offensively is their aerial attack and Kubiak has shown adept at getting targets open for his veteran quarterback.

J.J. McCarthy has taken over as the starting quarterback for the New York Giants following Jaxson Dart's season-ending injury; the Giants entered Week 7 with the division lead at 3-2-1.

Tanner McKee stepped in at quarterback for the Eagles against Carolina and struggled, with Philadelphia's offense tallying just 222 total yards in a 24-15 loss at home. Through six games, Philadelphia's offense ranks 30th in yards per game (255.5) and is tied for 28th in points per game (17.7).

Jalen Hurts is expected to miss the remainder of the 2026 season due to blood clots, forcing the Eagles to rely on backup Tanner McKee at quarterback.

Jaxson Dart is out for the season; the New York Giants have turned to J.J. McCarthy at quarterback in his absence.

Fewest career starts to reach 100 wins: 131 - Patrick Mahomes 131 - Tom Brady Elite company.

Leads the NFL in passing touchdowns over the last month with 3.33 per game. Ian Hartitz recommends over 1.5 passing TDs prop bet against Steelers' second-worst scoring defense. Key supporting stat: Steelers have had 8 snaps inside the 5-yard line this season and Rodgers has dropped back to pass on 7 of them, indicating heavy reliance on passing plays near the goal line rather than running plays.

Ian Hartitz betting play on under 2.5 receptions against Vikings defense that allows the second-fewest targets to opposing running backs. Vikings' aggressive blitzing scheme under Brian Flores forces running backs into pass protection, limiting dump-off opportunities. Included in a four-leg parlay prop bet.

Jaylen Waddle is ranked ahead of Michael Bolson in week 7, benefiting from a more favorable matchup situation compared to receivers facing Pastor Tan's shadow coverage.

Confirmed good to go for Week 7 with no injury concerns heading into the week.

Confirmed good to go for Week 7 with no injury concerns heading into the week.

Xavier Worthy faces a tough matchup in Week 7 and is ranked as wide receiver 33 by Ian Hartitz, ahead of receivers like Jaylen Null, Malik Washington, and Kendrick Bourne, but behind Steelers wide receivers Devon Vele and Trey Tucker. The tough matchup reflects the impact of Rasheed Rice's absence.

Trey Tucker is ranked ahead of Xavier Worthy (WR33) in Ian Hartitz's Week 7 rankings, placing him in the top 33 wide receivers for the week.

Malik Washington is ranked below Xavier Worthy (WR33) in Ian Hartitz's Week 7 rankings, placing him outside the top 33 wide receivers.

Rasheed Rice is out of the picture again with a hamstring injury for the Chiefs in Week 7.

Tucker Craft could deserve a bump in rankings if DeVonta Smith is ruled out, potentially increasing his role and opportunity; however, he faces a tough matchup with Lions safety Brian Branch expected to return. Despite this, the Lions defense has allowed 11 additional fantasy points per game to tight ends compared to the next worst group, making them still the worst defense against the position.

Ted Hurst will see a bump up the ranks with Mecole Hardman out with a concussion for the Buccaneers; however, Ian Hartitz cautions against getting too carried away given Baker Mayfield's question marks.

Mecole Hardman is out with a concussion for the Buccaneers in Week 7; he did get in a limited session on Friday and should be back for Week 8.

Chris Godwin will see a bump up the ranks with Mecole Hardman out with a concussion for the Buccaneers; however, Ian Hartitz cautions against getting too carried away given Baker Mayfield's question marks.

Christian McCaffrey is identified as one of the two primary engines of the 49ers passing game in Week 7, alongside George Kittle, suggesting elevated usage with Mike Evans and Deebo Samuel out.

Christian Kirk is tentatively expected to play through a questionable tag for the 49ers in Week 7; Ian Hartitz has him ranked inside the top 50 wide receivers, around Brandon Cooks in the WR4 range, though he notes George Kittle and Christian McCaffrey are likely the primary engines of the passing game.

Ian Hartitz has Brandon Cooks ranked in the wide receiver four range for Week 7, though he cautions that George Kittle and Christian McCaffrey are likely the primary engines of the 49ers passing game, limiting upside for other receivers.

49ers wide receiver Mike Evans is officially ruled out for Week 7; the 49ers have a Week 8 bye, creating a two-week absence for the receiver.

Titans wide receiver Calvin Ridley is questionable with a hip injury heading into Week 7, which could open up additional targets for teammates like Treylon Burks.

Texans wide receiver Tank Dell is officially questionable for Week 7 but is expected to play. Ian Hartitz frames this as more of a good story than a major fantasy impact, advising to wait and see his route rate before getting carried away in fantasy.

Kendrick Bourne is Ian Hartitz's top-ranked Rams alternative if Puka Nakua is unavailable due to his calf injury, ranked ahead of Kannata Munfield, Jordan Whittington, and other options. Additionally, Hartitz recommends the over 3.5 receptions prop for Bourne. Without Marvin Harrison Jr., Bourne has averaged 8 targets and 5 catches in both recent games. Jeremiah Love's absence removes underneath backfield opportunities, funneling more targets to Bourne; his average route depth ranks among the shallowest in the league (comparable to Kio Shakir and Debo Samuel), positioning him as a gadget/underneath receiver. Hartitz expects at least 4 catches despite modest yardage projection.

Jordan Whittington has been used more around the line of scrimmage and is ranked third among Rams alternatives if Puka Nakua cannot play. He is a preferred option over Isaac Tesla and Darius Cooper as a pivot target.

Isaac Tesla is available in the late afternoon slate and is ranked sixth among Rams alternatives if Puka Nakua cannot play, behind Kendrick Bourne, Kannata Munfield, Jordan Whittington, Mai Lemon, and Ryan Fenoy.

Darius Cooper is ranked seventh (last) among Rams alternatives if Puka Nakua cannot play, behind Kendrick Bourne, Kannata Munfield, Jordan Whittington, Mai Lemon, Ryan Fenoy, and Isaac Tesla.

Denzel Boston is healthy and available for Week 7, but his fantasy value is limited by the Browns' quarterback play, which needs to improve. Ian Hartitz notes that both Boston and Casey Conception are good to go, but the team's QB performance is the constraint on their upside.

Dolphins wide receiver Caleb Douglas is welcome back to the field with no injury designation, but the Dolphins are not exactly going out of their way to play any of their receivers, suggesting limited opportunity despite his availability.

Ian Hartitz is holding strong with Omar Cooper as a wide receiver 3 for Week 7, ranking him ahead of Trey Tucker, Deon Bailey, and Xavier Worthy.

Adonai Mitchell is returning from a finger injury but Ian Hartitz advises caution, wanting to see him come back into a role close to his previous usage before getting too carried away with his fantasy value.
