Injuries to Monitor

  • Christian McCaffrey † (Rest): Did not practice Wednesday for rest and was a full participant Thursday. No change to his workload is expected.
  • Chuba Hubbard † (Rest): Was a non-participant Wednesday for rest. Monitor Friday practice reports.
  • Jonathan Taylor † (Rest): Was limited for rest this week. Monitor Friday practice reports.
  • Tony Pollard † (Finger, rest): Did not practice Thursday after a full session Wednesday. He leads the Tennessee backfield, with Tyjae Spears and Nicholas Singleton behind him.
  • Alvin Kamara † (Back, rest): Was a full participant Thursday after not practicing Wednesday. He had nine touches in Week 9 as Audric Estime handled the early-down work.
  • Bhayshul Tuten † (Ankle, foot): Did not practice Wednesday or Thursday and was the only Jaguar without a helmet early in Thursday’s practice. He played through a questionable tag in Week 9 and scored, but the missed practices carry real risk, and Chris Rodriguez Jr. would lead the backfield if he sits.
  • Rhamondre Stevenson † (Knee): Was limited Thursday and was present but not in uniform for Friday’s practice. He will not need surgery but may miss “a short period of time,” and with TreVeyon Henderson out, Corey Kiner would lead New England if Stevenson sits.
  • David Montgomery † (Groin): Was upgraded to limited Thursday after not practicing Wednesday. He has not played since Week 5.
  • Woody Marks † (Knee): Was limited Wednesday but did not practice Thursday. He has been Houston’s lead back with Montgomery out.
  • Chris Rodriguez Jr. † (Hand): Was limited this week. His role grows if Tuten cannot play.
  • Bam Knight † (Concussion): Was a full participant Thursday without a non-contact jersey after being inactive in Week 9.
  • Keaton Mitchell † (Hip): Was limited Thursday. The Chargers play Monday night, so he has an extra day to recover.
  • Tyjae Spears † (Knee): Was upgraded to limited Thursday after being inactive in Week 8. Tennessee was on bye in Week 9.
  • Kaytron Allen † (Quadriceps): Was a full participant this week. Monitor Friday practice reports.

DraftKings DFS Value Plays

James Cook III ($7,400) — Bills @ Jets

Game environment: Bills -8.5, O/U 50.5 (30.5 team total)

Last week: 19.7 DK points @ MIN

2025 PPG: 18.0 DK fantasy points (17 games)

Projected DraftKings points: 23.9

Cook costs $1,800 less than Kenneth Walker III and is tied for the highest team total on the Sunday Main slate. He handled 31 carries Monday night in Minnesota and has reached 21 or more carries in six of eight games. The Jets rank 28th against running backs, and an 8.5-point spread sets up second-half clock-killing work. He has scored a rushing touchdown in seven of his eight games.

Audric Estime ($4,500) — Saints vs. Panthers

Game environment: Saints -2.5, O/U 48.5 (24.5 team total)

Last week: 14.7 DK points vs. CLE

2025 PPG: 6.9 DK fantasy points (7 games)

Projected DraftKings points: 11.7

Estime out-carried Alvin Kamara 15-6 in Week 9 and scored, and Travis Etienne Jr. remains on injured reserve. Carolina ranks 31st in DK points allowed to running backs, a clear path to touchdown chances for the early-down back in a game the Saints are favored to win. At $500 above the minimum, he only needs a repeat of last week’s role to return value. The main risk is an Etienne activation, which New Orleans will decide on at the end of the week.

Zach Charbonnet ($5,600) — Seahawks @ Raiders

Game environment: Seahawks -6.5, O/U 40.5 (23.5 team total)

Last week: 9.6 DK points vs. ARI

2025 PPG: 11.2 DK fantasy points (16 games)

Projected DraftKings points: 11.4

Charbonnet led Seattle with 16 carries for 77 yards in Week 9, his second game of the season, while Emanuel Wilson did not record a touch. The Raiders rank 29th against running backs, and a 6.5-point road favorite should lean on its early-down back late. Jadarian Price drew four targets last week, which trims the receiving ceiling, but the carry share is priced below backs with similar volume.
