Head coach Robert Saleh said he is hopeful Tate will be able to return in Week 11 when the Titans visit the Cowboys, but his availability for that game will be determined once the Titans begin prepping for Dallas. In the meantime, the Titans will likely go with Wan’Dale Robinson and Chimere Dike as their top two wideouts after the pair led the team in routes run in Week 8 against the Bengals, with Elic Ayomanor also seeing some work (30 routes). Playing against a stout Jaguars defense will make all of the Titans’ receivers hard to trust as anything more than WR3/WR4 plays, while TE Gunnar Helm could also see more work after earning a season-high eight targets vs. the Bengals.

Glenn said Wilson has one more step to clear before he is out of the league’s concussion protocol. Wilson missed last week’s game against the Chiefs due to his brain injury, but has practiced in a limited capacity twice this week and is trending toward a return. We will get a final update on Wilson once he has officially cleared the protocol, but fantasy managers can start him as a mid-to-high-end WR2 in a game that could feature plenty of points against a high-powered Bills offense.

On the short end of this timeline, Jackson could return in Week 16 against the Browns. On the long end, Jackson would be looking at returning around the Wild Card or Divisional Round of the playoffs if the Ravens make the postseason. This timeline closely aligns with the 6-9 week absence NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported earlier in the week. If this isn’t a season-ender for Lamar, it will be close, and how the Ravens perform over the next several weeks with Jacoby Brissett under center will likely determine whether the Ravens dress him for the final few weeks of the season, even if he is ready to go. Minter said that Jackson is “doing well” after suffering his injury in Week 8 against the Bills, which is encouraging, but we’re a long way from knowing if a return for Jackson is truly in the cards. The 4-5 Ravens have lost their last four games but hope to turn things around on Monday night when they play host to the Chargers.

Nabers was clearly not a point of emphasis in a game expected to carry significant weather impacts. Despite the weather subsiding in the second half, McCarthy remained fixed on Isaiah Likely, feeding the veteran tight end 11 targets. The matchup also played a role in the game plan, with the Commanders missing numerous key linebackers while blitzing at an above average rate. Nabers is in a good spot to bounce back against the Jaguars in Week 11, where he’ll return to WR1 status in fantasy circles.

Likely as clearly the going-in game plan in a game expected to be heavily influenced by weather. The rain cleared in the first half but Likely remained the featured option through the air, likely influenced by heavy blitz rates and unrelenting pressure from the Washington defense. The 11-target game was the fifth time this season that the veteran tight end hit double-digit targets but the first time doing so with J.J. McCarthy under center. Likely remains a surefire TE1 ahead of a difficult matchup against the Jaguars in Week 11.

Skattebo immediately returned to a workhorse role following the shortcomings of Devin Singletary in Week 10, the latter of whom saw but one opportunity to the 22 of Skattebo. The Skatt-man bookended halftime with a score from one yard out on the team’s final possession of the first half and a score from 13 yards out on the team’s first possession of the second half, earning two backflips in the process. The second-year back also escaped down the sideline for a 34-yard reception in the first quarter to pad his counting stats. Despite the resurgence in workload, Skattebo will be a borderline FLEX option in a difficult matchup against the pass-funnel Jaguars in Week 11.

McCarthy appeared to be in complete control throughout before a game-sealing interception with under a minute to play in a three-point game. He demonstrated plus pocket presence and made numerous dime-worthy throws, the most impressive of which was a 25-yard dart to rookie Malachi Fields that was put in the only place where Fields could come down with the ball, over one defender and underneath two more down the left sideline. McCarthy leaned heavily on Isaiah Likely, feeding the veteran tight end 11 targets in what appeared to be a matchup-based game plan in the face of an aggressive pass rush. The Giants fall to 5-3-1 with the loss and pass the first tie-breaker to the Commanders after the two teams’ tie earlier this season. The Giants get a difficult matchup against arguably the most well-rounded roster in the AFC when they host the Jaguars in Week 11, where McCarthy falls to a mid-range QB2 in fantasy circles.

Diggs and the Washington pass offense went as Jayden Daniels went, with the dual threat quarterback mixing perfectly thrown passes with completely errant ones, two of which were directed toward Diggs. A third incompletion bounced off Diggs’ helmet as the veteran receiver should have drawn a defensive pass interference penalty, with the ball eventually ruled an incompletion upon further review after Treylon Burks appeared to come down with what would have been one of the wilder receptions of the season. Daniels’ best pass of the game came on the game-winning touchdown to Diggs in the flat on a crosser, threaded between two defenders. Diggs made a third miss as he took it into the end zone from 32 yards out to send the team to a 3-5-1 record, now two games behind the Giants with the first tie-breaker in hand. He will remain a volatile WR3 on capped routes against the Bengals in Week 11.

A late second quarter touchdown drive that was sparked by a long reception by veteran wide receiver Stefon Diggs was capped off by tight end Ben Sinnott’s first touchdown of the season to send the Commanders into the half with a three-point lead. The two sides would trade touchdowns in the third quarter before the wheels appeared to fall off for Washington, with their first three possessions of the final frame going turnover on downs, interception, and interception, allowing the Giants to nurse a four-point lead inside the two-minute warning. Daniels drove the field in 49 seconds on just three plays, connecting with Diggs for a 32-yard touchdown with under a minute remaining. The Commanders would escape on the backs of a Rasul Douglas interception to send the team to a 3-5-1 record, now two games back of the Giants and with the first tie-breaker in hand following the previous tie. Daniels will look to keep the momentum going in a Week 11 meeting with the surging Bengals, where he will be an upside QB1 in another must-win game.

Nacua will be eligible to return for the Rams’ Week 15 game against the Cowboys. The Rams are on bye in Week 11, and he is required to miss at least four games. It was previously reported that Nacua was expected to return in Week 14 or 15. Shortly before the team made this announcement, NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport said that the team was “confident” Nacua would return in that timeframe. Rams coach Sean McVay previously said that the Rams would not place him on injured reserve due to transaction limitations. It is unclear whether anything has changed. Nacua suffered PCL and MCL sprains, along with a turf toe injury in Week 10 against the Commanders. ESPN’s Adam Schefter specifically cited Nacua’s MCL sprain after the move was made, adding that McVay said Nacua will miss “extended time.” Nacua should be stashed on fantasy football benches at this time.
