Mitchell is now 10 days into his 21-day practice window as he attempts to make his season debut after suffering a devastating knee injury late in 2023. He’ll have to wait another week after the team failed to activate him from the physically unable to perform list.

The rare son-to-father nepotism pipeline here, as Scott Turner is a favorite to emerge as Raiders offensive coordinator under Antonio Pierce after Luke Getsy’s dismissal. You could tell us anybody coached or played for the Raiders in the last month of the season and we’d believe it at this point. Norv has not had an NFL job since 2019 and is 72 years old.

Moss suffered his neck injury in practice last week and will now miss what appears to be an extended period of time. Whether or not the veteran running back lands on injured reserve ahead of Thursday’s game against the Ravens will give us a look into how severe the team considers the injury to be. For now, however, we can expect the Bengals to lean heavily on Chase Brown like we saw in Week 9’s win over the Raiders.

All will miss the rest of the season after tearing the same ACL he tore in 2023. He played 45 percent of the Bengals snaps in 2024 and will be a key part of the offense assuming he recovers to play in 2025 in the second year of his rookie contract. All finishes with 20 catches on 22 targets for 158 yards in 2024.

Levis has missed the last three games with his shoulder injury but has been ramping up his workload in recent weeks. Callahan said the team hopes to have Levis do more in practice this week and reaffirmed him as the team’s starter once he’s healthy enough to play. Levis has thrown for 699 yards, five touchdowns, and seven interceptions this season while also rushing for 106 yards. A Week 10 return against the Chargers won’t be easy for Levis and the struggling Titans offense. If he’s active, fantasy managers can continue to shy away from the second-year quarterback.

Daboll also added that he doesn’t plan to change up the quarterback’s practice reps this week, giving Jones full reign over the offense for Sunday’s game against the Panthers. Jones led the Giants to three touchdown-scoring drives in Week 9’s loss to the Commanders but averaged a paltry 6.7 YPA in a conservative passing game. Jones needed all four quarters in the loss to surpass the century mark through the air and did connect with tight end Theo Johnson no a 35-yard score late in the game. Jones could have some solid fantasy upside in Week 10, but we would count on him outside of 2QB/Superflex leagues.

Estime ran five times for 35 yards in the Broncos’ Week 9 loss to the Ravens. His opportunities came primarily in garbage time, but his performance was apparently enough to warrant more touches going forward. Fantasy managers should take this news with a grain of salt, as Payton has failed to deliver on promises of increased workloads for other players in the past. That said, it’s easy to see why the Broncos would give Estime a longer look, as Javonte Williams has totaled just 46 rushing yards on his last 29 carries, and is averaging a meager 3.8 YPC this season. Estime is worth a stash ahead of Week 10’s game against the Chiefs, but we wouldn’t rush to start him until we see how things play out.

Rapoport reports that “the belief is he suffered a hip pointer,” but Underdog’s James Palmer also noted a possible oblique injury to London late Sunday evening. On the surface, it sounds like London is at risk of missing Week 10’s game against the Saints, but Monday’s test will give us a better sense of his availability. Wednesday’s injury report will also be worth monitoring, as it will be our first look into whether or not London is playing through the injury early in the week.

Shane Waldron’s first year in Chicago hasn’t exactly been smooth. The former Seahawks offensive coordinator (2021-2023) is leading an offense that currently ranks 19th in points per game (21.5) and 28th in yards per game (294.6).

Diggs exited Week 9’s game against the Patriots in the second quarter and did not return to the field. The veteran safety has started all eight games he’s appeared in this season and has tallied 42 tackles while earning a PFF coverage grade of 70.6 this season. Third-year safety and former UDFA Mike Brown will likely take over for Diggs moving forward.

Gardner Minshew saw himself benched for the second time this season in Sunday’s loss to the Bengals. Offensive coordinator Luke Getsy, who can be partly blamed for Minshew’s struggles, was dismissed following Sunday’s loss. There’s a lot for the Raiders to figure out heading into their Week 10 bye. Pierce is staring down the barrel of a one-and-done season as head coach if he’s unable to right the ship. There’s a good chance Desmond Ridder finds himself as the Raiders’ starter when the team returns in Week 11 against the Dolphins, but we wouldn’t expect him elevate the Raiders’ offense any more than Minshew or Aidan O’Connell did.
