Slaton watched sidelines, never returned to field

Nov 01, 2009

As expected, a Texans running back had a huge day against the Bills. Unfortunately for Steve Slaton owners, his name was Ryan Moats.

Moats, who took over in the backfield after a fumble by Slaton on his first carry of the game, rolled up 126 yards on 23 carries and scored three times in Houston's 31-10 victory against the Bills. Meanwhile, Slaton watched helplessly from the sideline and never returned to the field after losing his league-leading fifth fumble. He finished with two catches for 10 yards and 1 yard rushing.

It's unclear if this move will be permanent, but Slaton owners need to grab Moats immediately. But before you think Moats is a waiver-wire gem for everyone, remember that this breakout game came against the Bills' league-worst run defense. Plus, it's not guaranteed he'll be starting Week 9 against Indy. Pay close attention to this situation this week.

Cowboys Beat: TE Jake Ferguson not expected to play Thursday

Nick Harris on X

1 hour ago

Long list here, but this is what I’ve gathered:

Guys I expect to play: Brandin Cooks, CeeDee Lamb, Tyler Smith, Cooper Rush

Guys I don’t expect to play: Jake Ferguson, Caelen Carson (possible IR), Zack Martin, Asim Richards

Gonna be close: Trevon Diggs, Eric Kendricks, Marshawn Kneeland

Related players: Luke Schoonmaker

Fantasy Impact:

Ferguson didn't practice Tuesday and remains in protocol, while Rush and Lamb both logged limited sessions. Cooks was also limited. Harris expects Rush, Lamb and Cooks to all play on Thanksgiving against the Giants. If Ferguson is out, Schoonmaker makes for a nice option as a replacement TE in fantasy lineups.

A high-ranking league official told me they have the impression QB Daniel Jones has zeroed on a "leading" choice. While another high-ranking league source told me their understanding is Jones "is telling teams tomorrow."

Fantasy Impact:

Jones seems headed for a backup job and the Ravens, Vikings and Bucs seem like teams that could be in the market. There is a report that says Jones has eliminated the Raiders from contention. As the report said, a decision could come Wednesday from Jones.

Saints say WR Chris Olave (concussion) in a good place

Darren Rizzi said that Chris Olave is in a good place.

Fantasy Impact:

The post went on to say Olave was at the Saints practice on Tuesday and that Olave has seen several specialists and has another appointment coming up soon. On IR, the earliest Olave could be back is Week 15, but there seems to be a ways to go before we get to that point. Other reports say Olave may not return this season.
