The San Francisco 49ers released kicker Anders Carlson from their practice squad on Tuesday. It's a sign that Jake Moody (ankle), who has missed the last three games due to a sprained ankle, will be ready to return for the Week 10 contest this Sunday versus the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Fantasy managers in need of an improvement at the kicking position should be looking to add Moody if he's available on your league's waiver wire. The 26-year-old Carlson was cut by the Green Bay Packers in training camp this year after a shaky rookie season in 2023. In the two games that he filled in for Moody in San Fran, he was a perfect 5-for-5 on field-goal attempts while missing one of his four extra-point tries. Carlson will now hope to latch on with another team before the end of the 2024 season.

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins (quadriceps) was listed as a non-participant in Tuesday's practice for the second straight day this week. Higgins injured his quadriceps muscle on Oct. 25 and did not play in the Week 9 win over the Las Vegas Raiders. With a quick turnaround in Week 10 versus the division-rival Baltimore Ravens on Thursday night, it's looking like the 25-year-old will miss a second straight game unless he can return to the practice field on Wednesday. Fantasy managers should keep him on their benches for now. If Higgins misses Thursday's tilt, it will mean more opportunities for Ja'Marr Chase, Andrei Iosivas and Trenton Irwin, as well as tight end Mike Gesicki, who went for 100 yards and scored twice against the Raiders. Iosivas only caught one pass in Week 9, but it went for his fourth TD of the year.

Dynasty | Bengals running back Zack Moss will reportedly miss the rest of the season with a neck injury. Dynasty Analysis: Well, that escalated quickly. The Bengals traded for Khalil Herbert today and that move makes even more sense now. The loss of Moss puts Chase Brown squarely in the driver's seat to make a short and long-term impression as the starter. As for Moss, this is concerning as it was slated he was going to miss "at least" the rest of the regular season, meaning he may not even be back for the playoffs should the Bengals claw their way in. His dynasty value is trending in the wrong direction at this point.

Dynasty | The Dallas Cowboys have acquired wide receiver Jonathan Mingo. Dynasty Analysis: The Panthers will receiver a fourth round pick in exchange for Mingo and a seventh round selection. Mingo was a second round pick just last season, but has posted just 55 catches for 539 yards thus far in 24 career games. Dallas must see something they like here as their season doesn't exactly lend itself to be "buyers" at the trade deadline. Mingo is still a decent bench stash in dynasty leagues, but it's hard to see him being a difference maker, especially with Cooper Rush at the helm.

Arizona Cardinals WR Chris Moore was released from the practice squad on Tuesday, Nov. 5.

Updating a previous report, Green Bay Packers LB Preston Smith was traded to the Pittsburgh Steelers in exchange for a 2025 seventh-round draft choice on Tuesday, Nov. 5.

Dynasty | The Colts have rebuffed trade inquiries for quarterback Anthony Richardson. Dynasty Analysis: Richardson has clearly not developed as quickly as the Colts had hoped he would, but it seems they're also not willing to sell him for pennies on the dollar, either. Had Joe Flacco ignited the offense yet again this week, things may have changed. However, Richardson could be in line to start again this year if Flacco struggles. Regardless, Richardson's dynasty value is falling quickly and he needs to show something soon to recoup it.

Dynasty | The Panthers are reportedly holding on to quarterback Bryce Young through the trade deadline. Dynasty Analysis: Young was famously benched earlier this season in favor of Andy Dalton. However, he's played better after replacing Dalton the past couple of weeks, perhaps instilling a glimmer of hope with a Carolina team that paid dearly for his services. Young will likely keep starting games until he regresses again (likely for the final time as a Panther) or shows enough for the franchise to continue building around him. Regardless, his dynasty value is near zero already after a disastrous start to his career.

Free-agent DT Brandon Williams (Ravens) officially announced his retirement from the NFL on Tuesday, Nov. 5.

Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said that quarterback Lamar Jackson (back, knee) "will be playing on Thursday night" to kick off Week 10 action against the division-rival Cincinnati Bengals. Jackson was not listed on Monday's practice report but did not practice on Tuesday after dealing with back and knee injuries last week. The 27-year-old front-runner for a second straight MVP award had a perfect passer rating in the Week 9 blowout win over the Denver Broncos, going 16-for-19 for 280 yards and three touchdowns on Sunday, so his injuries didn't limit him whatsoever. In the first meeting against Cincy in an overtime win in Week 5, Jackson had a season-high 348 passing yards, four touchdowns and no interceptions while adding 12 carries for 55 yards. Fantasy managers can't be expecting that again, but the dual-threat QB will be a must-start, high-end QB1 this Thursday.

Los Angeles Rams CB Tre'Davious White was traded along with a 2027 seventh-round draft choice to the Baltimore Ravens in exchange for a 2026 seventh-round draft on Tuesday, Nov. 5.

The Las Vegas Raiders named Scott Turner as their new interim offensive coordinator on Tuesday and also named Joe Philbin as their interim offensive-line coach while adding Turner's father, Norv, as a senior offensive advisor. Scott Turner was previously the team's passing-game coordinator after joining the team last year following three years as the offensive coordinator for the Washington Commanders. He was a quarterback at UNLV in college and spent time with the Carolina Panthers, Cleveland Browns and Minnesota Vikings during his NFL playing career. Turner will now be tasked with running an offense that could be benching QB Gardner Minshew II in favor of Desmond Ridder as they head into their Week 10 bye. With Jakobi Meyers as the team's WR1 as well, expect Vegas' offense to continue to struggle to move the ball consistently.

Despite NFL teams calling about quarterback Bryce Young, the No. 1 overall pick last year, the Carolina Panthers will keep him, according to a source. Teams were gauging if the Panthers were already ready to give up on the top pick from 2023, and the answer for now is no. The 23-year-old had a disastrous rookie campaign and was benched this year for veteran Andy Dalton after two poor showings to open his sophomore season. A thumb sprain for Dalton has opened the starting door back up for Young the last two weeks, and it seems likely he'll make a third straight start in Week 10 versus the New York Giants in Germany this Sunday after leading the team to their second win in Week 9 against the division-rival New Orleans Saints. Young still has lots of improvements to make and will be a low-end QB2 for fantasy managers in superflex leagues if he's starting in Europe.

Los Angeles Rams CB Tre'Davious White was reportedly traded to the Baltimore Ravens in exchange for an undisclosed return on Tuesday, Nov. 5.

The Minnesota Vikings signed free-agent kicker John Parker Romo on Tuesday, according to sources, after placing rookie Will Reichard (quadriceps) on Injured Reserve. Romo, a former undrafted free agent that played for the New Orleans Saints, was with the Vikings in the offseason and is now on track to make his NFL debut in Week 10 against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Reichard will be required to miss at least four games, so if Parker holds his own, he could be the Vikings' kicker until Reichard is healthy enough to return. The 27-year-old Romo is a third-year kicker from Virginia Tech and went 17-for-19 on his field-goal attempts (long of 57 yards) while kicking for the San Antonio Brahmas in 2023 in the XFL. Fantasy managers will want to avoid Romo moving forward.

Baltimore Ravens tight end Isaiah Likely (hamstring) was not at practice on Tuesday, which represents a second straight missed practice after he was listed as a DNP on Monday's estimated practice report. After apparently getting hurt in the Week 9 blowout win over the Denver Broncos on Sunday, Likely is dealing with a hamstring injury that could keep him out of Thursday night's divisional battle against the Cincinnati Bengals. The 24-year-old will likely need to practice on Wednesday to avoid being ruled out entirely. After a 100-yard performance and a score in the season opener, Likely has failed to come anywhere close to that production since and has seen Mark Andrews become a much bigger contributor at the position. Even if Likely returns to practice on Wednesday and is active on Thursday night, he won't be a recommended fantasy play in Week 10.

The Cincinnati Bengals placed both running back Zack Moss (neck) and rookie tight end Erick All Jr. (knee) on season-ending Injured Reserve on Tuesday. Both Moss and All suffered season-ending injuries in the Week 9 blowout win over the Las Vegas Raiders, with All sustaining a torn ACL, which means he might not be ready for the start of the 2025 season next fall. To help replenish the backfield and replace Moss, Cincy acquired RB Khalil Herbert from the Chicago Bears on Tuesday. Herbert should immediately slot in as the team's RB2 behind Chase Brown. All, 24, has now torn the ACL in his right knee for the second time in just over a year. He'll finish his first NFL season with 20 receptions for 158 yards and no scores. The good news for Moss is he won't need surgery on his neck. The 26-year-old had 74 carries for 242 yards and two TDs while catching 23 passes for 187 yards and another score in eight games.
