🚨 Germie Bernard belongs on your waiver radar.

Roman Wilson is expected to miss a couple weeks, and Michael Pittman Jr. is already on IR. Bernard just posted 6 catches for 80 yards on 9 targets—more opportunity could be coming. 👀

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?

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.”

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

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]

🚨 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.
