The NFC East winning 0 games on a week in which two teams played each other feels like a pretty good encapsulation of the division at the moment

[The Pulse: Rivals Insider @thepulse_RI]

@White0nRiceAnon @toddarcher Realistically no, but in a world where injuries continue and Dart comes back healthy for the current division leading Giants…. why not?

[Todd Archer @toddarcher]

The NFC East is a disaster

[Jonathan M Alexander @jonmalexander]

DeMeco Ryans asked several times Marvin Harrison Jr., twice decline to answer and on the third time said.

“You guys want to know, yes we traded for Marvin Harrison.”

[Alec Lewis @alec_lewis]

Vikings WR Justin Jefferson is ACTIVE for today's game against the Saints. WR Jordan Addison INACTIVE. WR Odell Beckham Jr. INACTIVE.

[Sam Warren @samwarren83]

Ashton Jeanty is back out to go through warmups with the rest of the Raiders offense.

A good sign that he’s playing.

[Sam Warren @samwarren83]

Ashton Jeanty’s pregame warmup was very short here at Gillette. He did two reps of this footwork/acceleration drill before circling up with Raiders staff for a lengthy conversation and then left the field.

We’ll know if he’s playing through his ankle and foot injuries in 45 min.

[Matt Schneidman @mattschneidman]

I can’t remember a nicer October day than this. Huge Packers-Bears game on deck.

[Paul Dehner Jr. @pauldehnerjr]

Per @AdamSchefter both Tee Higgins (adductor/neck) and Ja’Marr Chase (concussion) are expected to play today.

Started trending that way when the Bengals didn’t elevate a WR Saturday.

Higgins out here doing his pregame routine already.

[Christopher Price @cpriceglobe]

It’s a great day for football.

[Jordan Raanan @JordanRaanan]

It's pretty miserable here for Giants vs. Commanders ...

[Mike Reiss @MikeReiss]

Weather forecast for Patriots-Raiders kickoff (CBS, 1 p.m. ET):

58 degrees, cloudy, no rain expected until late afternoon/early evening, with wind around 5-6 mph.

🚨 NFL injury rundown: Pittman & Elliott OUT; Dowdle questionable. Caleb questionable. Eagles without Barkley, Smith & Hollywood. Chargers lose Johnston & Derwin; Ladd questionable. Denver’s top CBs OUT. Browns’ DT losses boost Braelon Allen. Fantasy depth gets tested.

[The Pulse: Rivals Insider @thepulse_RI]

🚨 Ashton Jeanty is QUESTIONABLE vs. New England after missing Friday’s practice with ankle/foot injuries.

Fantasy angle: Mike Washington Jr. becomes a key contingency option in deep leagues. Jeanty is NOT ruled out—watch Sunday inactives before making the switch.

[The Pulse: Rivals Insider @thepulse_RI]

🚨 Saquon Barkley and DeVonta Smith are OUT vs. Jacksonville in London. Dallas Goedert returns.

Fantasy angle: More opportunity for Will Shipley, Dameon Pierce and Philly’s remaining pass catchers. Set lineups before Sunday’s 6:30 AM PT kickoff.

[The Pulse: Rivals Insider @thepulse_RI]

🚨 Lamar Jackson is OUT vs. Atlanta. Tyler Huntley starts Sunday night, with Trey Hendrickson also sidelined.

Fantasy angle: Baltimore’s passing ceiling takes a hit. Secure your QB replacement now—don’t wait for primetime.
