  • James Proche WR | TEN

    James Proche: Back on practice squad

    Proche reverted to Tennessee's practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

    Proche was elevated for the third time this season ahead of Sunday's loss to the Chargers. He logged 11 of 47 offensive snaps -- fourth among Titans wideouts -- and didn't see any targets or touches. Since he's now out of elevations, Proche would need to be signed to Tennessee's active roster in order to play again for the team this season.

  • Cardinals' Emari Demercado: Stars in return from injury

    Demercado (ankle) took 14 carries for 79 yards and lost one yard on his only reception in Monday's 27-17 win over Dallas.

    Demercado used the Cardinals' bye week to fully recover from an ankle injury that wound up costing him just one contest. The 26-year-old jumped right into a prominent role, leading the backfield in production even though Bam Knight drew the start. Knight still saw plenty of involvement with 47 yards gained on 11 combined touches, but Demercado came out of the contest looking like the superior fantasy option. Trey Benson (knee) is eligible to be activated from injured reserve against the Seahawks in Week 10, but it's currently unclear if he'll be physically ready to play right away. Benson's eventual return should push Demercado back into a change-of-pace role, but the latter likely will maintain fantasy value until that happens.

  • Ricky White: Back on practice squad

    The Seahawks reverted White to their practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

    Seattle elevated White from the practice squad ahead of Sunday's win over the Commanders. The rookie seventh-round pick logged seven offensive snaps and five snaps on special teams. White didn't see any targets in his first NFL regular-season action, and his likelihood of being elevated again moving forward likely depends upon the health of wideouts Cooper Kupp (hamstring), Jake Bobo (Achilles) and Dareke Young (quadriceps), all of whom missed Sunday's victory.

  • Cody White WR | SEA

    Seahawks' Cody White: Returns to practice squad

    White reverted to Seattle's practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

    White was elevated ahead of Sunday's win over Washington and made a big impact, catching one of two targets for a 60-yard touchdown. He also logged 29 yards on one kick return and was even credited with a tackle following a Sam Darnold interception. White logged 36 of Seattle's 51 offensive snaps in the contest, finishing second among the team's wideouts behind Tory Horton (37), though Jaxon Smith-Njigba (34 offensive snaps) remains the no-doubt alpha among the WR corps. Wideouts Cooper Kupp (hamstring), Jake Bobo (Achilles) and Dareke Young (quadriceps) all missed the contest, and the health of that trio will likely go a long way toward determining White's likelihood of being elevated again moving forward.

  • Jake Ferguson TE | DAL

    Cowboys' Jake Ferguson: Reemerges in offense Monday

    Ferguson brought in five of seven targets for 50 yards in the Cowboys' 27-17 loss to the Cardinals on Monday night.

    Following a rare Week 8 blanking against the Broncos, Ferguson bounced back Monday night to finish third across the board in receptions, receiving yards and targets for the Cowboys. The talented tight end did lose a fumble deep in Cardinals territory just past the halfway point of the second quarter, however, and although the turnover didn't directly lead to any points for Arizona, it certainly robbed Dallas of a scoring opportunity. Ferguson has at least five receptions in all but two games and a career-high six touchdown catches heading into the Week 10 bye, but he's also averaging a career-low 6.9 yards per grab.

  • George Pickens WR | DAL

    Cowboys' George Pickens: Productive in Week 9 loss

    Pickens secured six of nine targets for 79 yards in the Cowboys' 27-17 loss to the Cardinals on Monday night. He also committed two fumbles, but both were recovered by Dallas.

    Pickens had a shaky night in terms of ball security, but he made up for it by recovering one of his fumbles and also finishing second across the board to CeeDee Lamb in receptions, receiving yards and targets. Pickens has proven an excellent fit in the Cowboys' air attack over the first half of his debut campaign in Dallas, as he'll head into the Week 10 bye with four straight tallies of 78 receiving yards or more and a 49-764-6 receiving line overall.

  • Trey Sermon RB | PIT

    Trey Sermon: Goes back to practice squad

    The Steelers reverted Sermon to their practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

    Sermon was elevated ahead of Sunday's victory over the Colts and logged one snap on offense without getting any touches. He also recorded 19 special-teams snaps, registering one tackle in that capacity. Sermon has been elevated three times this season, so he'd need to be signed to the active roster to play again for the Steelers this season.

  • Cowboys' Javonte Williams: Eclipses 80-yard mark in loss

    Williams rushed 15 times for 83 yards and brought in his only target for no gain in the Cowboys' 27-17 loss to the Cardinals on Monday night. He also lost a fumble and recovered another.

    Williams ceded just a single rushing opportunity to another running back (Malik Davis) and once again churned out an efficient performance, averaging over 5.0 yards per carry for the fifth time this season. Williams recorded three runs of 10-plus yards along the way, but his fumble at the Cardinals' 37-yard line with just under five minutes remaining and Dallas trying to reduce a 10-point deficit proved costly. The miscue aside, Williams has enjoyed a resurgent first half of his debut Cowboys campaign, and he'll continue in his unquestioned lead-back role in a Week 11 road matchup against the Raiders on Monday night, Nov. 17 following a Week 10 bye.

  • Cardinals' Jacoby Brissett: Shines in third straight start

    Brissett completed 21 of 31 pass attempts for 261 yards and two touchdowns while taking five carries for four yards and a third score in Monday's 27-17 win over the Cowboys.

    Brissett continued to air the ball out while making his third straight start filing in for injured starter Kyler Murray (foot). Unlike his previous two outings, the veteran backup was able to secure victory for Arizona in an upset win on the road over Dallas on Monday Night Football. The 32-year-old Brissett is averaging 286.7 passing yards with a pair of touchdown passes thrown in each of his three spot-starts this year. Murray has been practicing in a limited fashion since Oct. 10, so Brissett's unexpected run of fantasy utility could come to an abrupt end if the former returns in Week 10. Managers should hang on to Brissett until an official announcement is made, as the journeyman's hot play could warrant starting consideration against the Seahawks on Sunday.

  • Lew Nichols RB | PIT

    Lew Nichols: Sent back to practice squad

    Nichols reverted to Pittsburgh's practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

    Nichols received his first elevation of the campaign ahead of Sunday's win over Indianapolis and recorded six snaps on special teams, making one tackle on kick coverage. That marked his first regular-season NFL action after being drafted by Green Bay in the seventh round of the 2023 NFL Draft.
