  • Ryan Flournoy WR | DAL

    Cowboys' Ryan Flournoy: Scores first career touchdown

    Flournoy caught both of his targets for 12 yards and a touchdown in Monday's 27-17 loss to the Cardinals.

    Flournoy's touchdown was his first of the season and the first of his career. The second-year wideout played 45 of the Cowboys' 67 offensive snaps, operating as the No. 3 wide receiver behind both CeeDee Lamb (59) and George Pickens (61). Though Flournoy's 69 percent snap share matched a season high, his target share still left much to be desired. Since Lamb returned to action in Week 7, the 26-year-old Flournoy has failed to see more than two targets in a contest. With such limited usage, the Southeast Missouri State product should remain off the fantasy radar as Dallas heads into their Week 10 bye. Next up for the Cowboys is a road matchup against the Raiders in Week 11.

  • Isaiah Bond WR | CLE

    Browns' Isaiah Bond: Misses practice with foot injury

    Bond (foot) is not slated to practice Wednesday, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.

    Bond sustained a foot injury during Cleveland's loss to the Patriots in Week 8 and is still not back to full health after the Browns' bye week. He'll have two more chances to officially get back on the practice field ahead of Sunday's road matchup against the Jets. When asked about Bond's status for Week 10, head coach Kevin Stefanski said "we'll see how it goes the next couple days," per Oyefusi. Cedric Tillman (hamstring) had his 21-day practice window opened Monday, and when he returns to the field Bond will figure to drop down to No. 3 on the wide receiver depth chart.

  • Chris Godwin WR | TB

    Buccaneers' Chris Godwin: Sitting out practice

    Godwin (lower leg) is not expected to participate in Wednesday's practice, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

    Godwin remains sidelined at practice despite Tampa Bay having had the benefit of a Week 9 bye. Head coach Todd Bowles said prior to the bye that Godwin is "week-to-week," though he confirmed that the veteran wideout's fibula injury has no danger of being season-ending. Still, Godwin may be trending in the wrong direction for Sunday's matchup against the Patriots, in which case wideouts Sterling Shepard, Tez Johnson, Ryan Miller and Kameron Johnson, plus tight end Cade Otton, will be in line to handle increased receiving work behind rookie standout Emeka Egbuka.

  • Bucky Irving RB | TB

    Buccaneers' Bucky Irving: Not in line to practice

    Irving (foot/shoulder) is not expected to participate in Wednesday's practice, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

    Irving evidently remains in the rehab phase of his recovery from foot and shoulder injuries that have kept him sidelined since Week 4 despite the fact that the Buccaneers are coming off a bye. If he's unable to gain clearance for Sunday's home matchup against the Patriots, Tampa Bay will proceed with a familiar backfield deployment that features Rachaad White and Sean Tucker as its lead options. Chris Godwin (lower leg) is also expected to miss Wednesday's practice.

  • Cowboys' KaVontae Turpin: Gains 13 total yards on offense

    Turpin caught two of three targets for 10 yards and rushed once for three yards in Monday's 27-17 loss to the Cardinals. He added 151 kickoff return yards and six punt return yards.

    Turpin continued to have a minimal impact on offense Monday, doing most of his damage on kickoff returns. The fourth-year wideout is not involved enough in the Cowboys' offensive plans to garner much fantasy attention, but with Monday's performance on special teams, the TCU product is now fourth in the NFL with 722 kickoff return yards. Turpin will remain extremely difficult to trust for fantasy purposes as the Cowboys head into their Week 10 bye before a matchup against the Raiders in Week 11.

  • Jalen Tolbert WR | DAL

    Cowboys' Jalen Tolbert: Not targeted in loss

    Tolbert failed to record a single target in Monday's 27-17 loss to the Cardinals.

    Tolbert was a complete nonfactor in Monday's loss to Arizona. The fourth-year wideout played just seven of the Cowboys' 67 offensive snaps in the contest, the least of any wide receiver who saw the field and his lowest snap total of the season. Tolbert has had a minimal role in the Cowboys offense, as he is buried on the depth chart and has seen just 24 targets through nine games. The 26-year-old should remain far off the fantasy radar as the Cowboys head into their Week 10 bye before a matchup against the Raiders in Week 11.

  • Noah Fant TE | CIN

    Bengals' Noah Fant: Finds end zone in loss

    Fant caught two of three targets for 28 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 47-42 loss to the Bears.

    Fant played 31 of the Bengals' 68 offensive snaps Sunday, tied with fellow tight end Drew Sample. The veteran was targeted three times for the second straight week, and his touchdown marked his third trip to the end zone this season. With wide receivers Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins commanding most of the target share in Cincinnati's offense, Fant continues to profile as a touchdown-dependent option at the tight end position. The 27-year-old will look to build off his latest performance when the Bengals come out of their Week 10 bye to face the Steelers in Week 11.

  • Frankie Luvu LB | WAS

    Commanders' Frankie Luvu: Will no longer be suspended

    Luvu had his one-game suspension reduced by the NFL to a $100,000 fine Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

    The league had originally handed Luvu a one-game suspension for "repeated violations of playing rules intended to protect the health and safety of players," which was tied to the multiple illegal hip-drop tackles he has performed this season. Luvu elected to appeal the punishment, and, upon further consideration, the suspension has been reduced to a fine. That means Luvu will be able to suit up in Week 10 against Detroit, and he should take on his usual starting role that has led to the linebacker playing every defensive snap in five of Washington's nine games so far this season.

  • Kaden Elliss LB | ATL

    Falcons' Kaden Elliss: Quiet in loss

    Elliss logged five tackles (four solo) in Sunday's 24-23 loss to the Patriots.

    Elliss continues to occupy a key role in the Atlanta defense, as he logged 100 percent of defensive snaps for the seventh time in eight games this season. He turned in a quiet performance in the loss, and he's had a disappointing campaign relative to expectations by logging five or fewer tackles in five of eight matchups.

  • Alex Highsmith LB | PIT

    Steelers' Alex Highsmith: Sacks Jones twice Week 9

    Highsmith recorded four tackles (three solo), including 2.0 sacks, one pass defense and one forced fumble during the Steelers' 27-20 win over the Colts on Sunday.

    Both of Highsmith's sacks came in the second half, with the latter resulting in a fumble that was recovered by Derrick Harmon and led to a Chris Boswell 46-yard field goal six plays later in the fourth quarter. Highsmith is now up to 3.5 sacks over six regular-season games, which is tied with Keeanu Benton for third most on the Steelers behind T.J. Watt (5.0) and Nick Herbig (4.5).
