Texans cut TE Pharaoh Brown

Oct 04, 2022

Texans tight end Pharaoh Brown said in June that he expects to be an All-Pro this season. He fell quite a bit short of that.

The Texans released Brown today, according to multiple reports.

Related players: Brevin Jordan, O.J. Howard

Fantasy Impact:

Brown has started three games this season and caught seven passes for 72 yards. Jordan and Howard will see more playing time in Houston with Brown out, the story pointed out. Jordan is dealing with an ankle injury and while Howard caught two TDs on opening week, he's only had a 3-34-0 line over the past three weeks.

Texans WR Nico Collins (hamstring) was activated from injured reserve Saturday.

Fantasy Impact:

Collins had been out since injuring his hamstring in Week 4. His return Sunday against the Lions is a huge boost to an offense that also lost wide receiver Stefon Diggs for the season. Collins was leading the league in receiving before his injury. Expect the connection between he and C.J. Stroud to pick up right where it left off Sunday.

The 49ers officially activated RB Christian McCaffrey from injured reserve Saturday.

Fantasy Impact:

McCaffrey will make his season debut Sunday against the Buccaneers after dealing with Achilles tendinitis since the preseason. McCaffrey isn't quite at the top of the board just yet, but he does slide into the top 10 among running backs this week against a middle-of-the-pack rush defense in Tampa Bay.

Cowboys QB Dak Prescott will undergo season-ending surgery on his injured hamstring.

Fantasy Impact:

Prescott will meet with one more specialist early next week but all signs are pointing towards him getting the surgery. He would be out for four months following the procedure.

The Cowboys were hoping to avoid surgery and had delayed placing Prescott on injured reserve but doctors ultimately believed he needs the surgery.

Cooper Rush will now look to help turn Dallas’ season around, starting Sunday against Philadelphia. A loss would drop Dallas to 3-6 and at least four games back in the division with seven to play.
