Saturday News Drop

Fantasy’s biggest stories of the week … in two minutes or less.

Brian Thomas Jr. OUT for Week 10

Tough news out of Jacksonville: Brian Thomas Jr. is officially sidelined with that ankle injury. He missed practice all week, so this isn’t a shock, but the Jags are hoping he’ll be back by Week 11. In the meantime, Jakobi Meyers and Parker Washington are expected to handle most of the work at receiver. For fantasy managers, that means Meyers could flirt with flex value, especially against a Texans defense that’s been beaten deep a few times this season.

Jayden Daniels Avoids Surgery

Finally, some good news in Washington. Jayden Daniels won’t need surgery after that ugly elbow dislocation. The MRI showed no ligament damage, and while he’ll miss Week 10 and likely Week 12, he’s dodged the worst-case scenario. The team will reevaluate during the bye. For fantasy, that means you can hold him if you’ve got a deep bench. There’s still a shot we see him back before the season ends, which keeps his long-term value intact.

Rashid Shaheed Set for Big Role

Interesting development in Seattle… Rashid Shaheed “might need to play extensively” against the Cardinals. The Seahawks are down several wideouts, including Jake Bobo and Dareke Young, while Cooper Kupp is questionable. That opens the door for Shaheed to step right into a real role. He’s familiar with Klint Kubiak’s offense and even brings special teams juice, so if you need a WR3 this week, he’s firmly on the radar.

Puka Nacua Cleared and Ready

Good news for Rams fans…Puka Nacua’s off the injury report and ready to go versus San Francisco. He was limited early in the week with that rib issue but practiced fully Thursday and Friday. He’s currently top five among wideouts in fantasy points per game and remains a locked-in WR1, even in a tough divisional matchup.

So keep your eye on the news as we head into NFL Sunday… as promised, in 2 minutes or less.
