  • LAC Linebacker #58

    Jaguars selected Miami LB Shaquille Quarterman with the No. 140 overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft.
    Quarterman (6’0/234) was a captain and four-year starting middle linebacker at Miami who earned All-ACC honors all four seasons. As a senior, he was named the Hurricanes’ MVP after totaling 107 tackles and 15.5 TFLs, production that led to a No. 11 ranking out of 417 FBS qualifiers in PFF’s run-defense grade. His numbers and physicality make him an intriguing depth option who can specialize stopping the run, but his 21st percentile Adjusted SPARQ athleticism (4.74 forty) and poor coverage skills limit his ceiling and role in the NFL. Quarterman will likely be a target for offensive coordinators on passing downs.

  • DAL Running Back #23

    Speaking Thursday, Cowboys HC Mike McCarthy said Rico Dowdle is “the lead back” while adding that Dowdle “needs to touch the ball.”
  • IND Wide Receiver #11
    Michael Pittman (back) practiced on Thursday.
    After being a full participant in Wednesday’s practice, Pittman logging another practice on Thursday is a good sign for his Week 11 availability. Pittman missed Week 10’s game against the Bills in part due to a finger injury he suffered in Week 9, but that seems to be behind him. We’ll see where things stand when Friday’s injury report is released, but it sounds like we can expect Pittman to suit up against the Jets, where he’ll be a boom-or-bust WR2.
    Fantasy impact of Colts going back to Richardson
    The FFHH crew discuss the Indianapolis Colts turning back to Anthony Richardson as starting quarterback, explaining what the move means for players such as Josh Downs and Jonathan Taylor.
  • HOU Running Back #31
    KPRC2’s Aaron Wilson reports Dameon Pierce (groin) is “close to returning.”
    Pierce has missed the last two games as a result of his injury. The third-year back has had a challenging season dealing with injuries and the fact Joe Mixon is handling the majority of backfield touches. To date, Pierce has 14 carries for 98 yards and one touchdown, with most of his production coming on a 54-yard run in Week 6 against the Patriots. If he is active for Week 11 against the Cowboys, Pierce won’t have any fantasy upside, given the current state of Houston’s backfield. He could make for an interesting stash in deeper leagues, but that’s where his ceiling tops out at this point in time.
  • IND Center #78
    Colts C Ryan Kelly (knee) said he is confident he will return in 2024.
    Kelly, a four-time Pro Bowler, was placed on injured reserve last week after undergoing an arthroscopic procedure on his right knee. He’s required to miss at least four games as a result but will be eligible to return in Week 15 Week. Tanor Bortolini filled in for Kelly in the Colts’ Week 10 loss to the Bills and should continue to start in his place until he is eligible to return.
  • NYJ Quarterback #8
    When asked about the possibility of playing in 2025, Aaron Rodgers said, “I think so, yeah.”
    Rodgers, who turns 41 in December, isn’t exactly committing to playing next season, but he’s definitely not ruling it out. He and the 3-7 Jets have had their fair share of struggles this season, and returning for another year of losing probably isn’t his preferred way to go out. With eight weeks left in the season, it’s possible Rodgers will see how the rest of the year plays out before making any firm decisions. He’s under contract through the 2025 season and will earn $23.5 million if he does return.
  • NE Defensive Tackle #90
    NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports Patriots DT Christian Barmore could practice for the first time on Thursday.
    Barmore was placed on the NFI list earlier this offseason after it was revealed he was dealing with blood clots. The fourth-year tackle racked up a career-high 64 tackles last season and also tallied a career-high 8.5 sacks. He could still be a long way from returning to the playing field, but his return to the practice field is an encouraging sign when you consider that many thought he could miss all of the 2024 season when he was initially diagnosed.
  • LV Tight End #84
    Raiders TE Harrison Bryant (ankle) did not participate in Wednesday’s practice.
    Bryant left the Raiders’ Week 9 loss to the Bengals with an ankle injury. He was the direct backup to Brock Bowers with Michael Mayer out, but Bryant starts out not practicing out of the bye. If Bryant cannot go in Week 11 against the Dolphins, Justin Shorter will be the direct backup to Bowers, who will continue to eat targets.
  • Seahawks EDGE Leonard Williams did not participate in Wednesday’s practice.
    Williams popped up on the practice report with a new foot injury, listed as a non-participant for Wednesday. He has 2.5 sacks starting eight games on the Seahawks’ defensive line this season. LB Boye Mafe (knee) was limited in practice as the Seahawks get out of the bye trying to get their defense healthy.
  • SEA Tight End #87
    Seahawks TE Noah Fant (groin) did not participate in Wednesday’s practice.
    Fant begins the week not participating, a sign his groin injury still needs time to heal. Prior to the team’s Week 10 bye, head coach Mike Macdonald had said Fant would need some time before returning, indicating he will miss Week 11 and potentially more time. The Seahawks don’t have many fantasy-serious options at tight end without Fant, and his groin injury makes Fant expendable in shallower leagues.
  • CIN Tackle #75
    Bengals LT Orlando Brown Jr. (knee/fibula) did not participate in Wednesday’s practice.
    Brown did not practice to begin the week after head coach Zac Taylor called him day-to-day on Monday. He participated in the Monday walkthrough, but is officially a non-participant for Wednesday after missing the last two games for the Bengals. LB Joe Bachie (hip), DT B.J. Hill (knee), and WR Charlie Jones (groin) were also non-participants on the Bengals’ Wednesday practice report.
