[LVR - Henry Ruggs facing serious DUI charges]() Source: ESPN - Adam Schefter Las Vegas Raiders WR [Henry Ruggs](=) III will be charged with DUI resulting in death after colliding with another vehicle in the early morning of Tuesday, Nov. 2. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] A tragic situation here. Ruggs showed signs of impairment on the scene and was transported to a local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. In the state of Nevada, Ruggs is being charged with a Category B felony which comes with a minimum of two years behind bars (and a maximum of 20 years). [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 2. [TEN - RB Adrian Peterson to Titans]() Source: TennesseeTitans.com - Jim Wyatt Updating previous reports, free-agent RB Adrian Peterson (Lions) signed with the Tennessee Titans' practice squad Tuesday, Nov. 2. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Peterson will work with Jeremy McNichols in the Titans backfield now that Derrick Henry is out with a foot injury. We should see him get a hefty workload on early downs when he's up to speed in the offense. McNichols can get work as a runner and receiver out of the backfield. If Peterson is the primary runner, he has flex appeal for Fantasy GMs based on the Titans offense and the size his workload could be. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 3. [HOU - QB Deshaun Watson staying put](=) Source: NFL Network - Ian Rapoport Houston Texans QB Deshaun Watson will not be dealt to the Miami Dolphins before the trade deadline Tuesday, Nov. 2 according to sources. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] For a long time, there have been rumblings about a deal in place for Watson but the Dolphins wanted assurances about any suspension or legal ramifications. That's not going to happen until the 22 cases are deposed early in 2022. Watson stays put but will be on the move once more clarity with the legal cases happens. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 4. [NYG - RB Saquon Barkley hopeful for Week 9]( Source: SNY - Ralph Vacchiano New York Giants RB [Saquon Barkley](=) (ankle) said Monday, Nov. 1, that there is still 'too much swelling and soreness' in his injured ankle, and he is targeting a return in Week 9 against the Las Vegas Raiders. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] We'll see what Barkley looks like in practice. If/when he returns, that means Devontae Booker goes back to the bench. Fantasy GMs can dump Booker later this week if it looks like Barkley is a go. If you're nervous about doing that, hanging onto Booker another week is possible if you have bench space. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 5. [SF - PK Joey Slye cut loose](=) Source: NFL Network - Ian Rapoport San Francisco 49ers PK Joey Slye was waived Tuesday, Nov. 2. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Not surprising given his recent performance. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 6. [NO - QB Taysom Hill on schedule](=) Source: NewOrleansSaints.com New Orleans Saints QB [Taysom Hill](=) (concussion) is 'progressing well and on schedule,' according to head coach Sean Payton. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Is there a schedule for brain injuries? Every concussion is different. Some players come back within a week, while others have to miss multiple weeks (like Hill). He's been out of action since suffering this concussion in Week 5. We'll see what Hill can do in practice as he's on track to be the starting quarterback for the Saints now that Jameis Winston is out for the year. All Fantasy GMs, even those who are set at quarterback, need to add Hill off the waiver wire if he's out there. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 7. [TEN - D'Onta Foreman joins Titans]() Source: TennesseeTitans.com - Jim Wyatt Free-agent RB D'Onta Foreman (Falcons) signed with the Tennessee Titans' practice squad Tuesday, Nov. 2. RB [Mekhi Sargent](=) was released. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Foreman is a big-bodied back who can give them another body in the running back room. With Derrick Henry down with a foot injury, the Titans turn to Jeremy McNichols and Adrian Peterson at the top of the depth chart. Foreman will work behind them.

[CLE - WR Odell Beckham Jr. staying put]( Source: ESPN - Dianna Russini Cleveland Browns WR [Odell Beckham](=) Jr. is unlikely to be traded before the trade deadline Tuesday, Nov. 2. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Reports indicate there were no "deals that made sense" for the Browns. That sounds about right. The Browns were unlikely "wowed" by any offer that came in for the veteran receiver. He'll stay put, but Fantasy GMs have been frustrated with his lack of production. Beckham will be on a lot of benches the next time he has a big game. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 9. [MIA - Brian Flores commits to Tua as QB]( Source: NFL Network - Mike Giardi Miami Dolphins QB [Tua Tagovailoa](=) remains the starter, and head coach Brian Flores committed to him Monday, Nov. 1. 'I think when I say Tua is the quarterback, I'm not sure what more I can say,' Flores said. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Tagovailoa has not been the problem for the Dolphins. He's not been perfect, but the second-year quarterback flashes enough to make you want to see more. Tagovailoa will not be replaced by Deshaun Watson this year (no trade on Tuesday) but next year is no guarantee. We'll see him continue his audition to be the franchise quarterback as the 2021 season continues. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 10. [NYJ - QB John Beck joins NYJ coaching staff](=) Source: ProFootballTalk.com - Josh Alper Former NFL quarterback John Beck, who has been the last several years as a personal quarterback coach for [Zach Wilson](=) and several other draft prospects, will reportedly join the coaching staff of the New York Jets for the remainder of the season. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Beck knows the Shanahan system well (that's what Mike LaFleur runs) from his days in Washington playing for Mike Shanahan. He's been working as a "QB guru" and knows the game well. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 11. [SF - WR Deebo Samuel expected to be limited](=) Source: Bay Area News Group - Cam Inman San Francisco 49ers WR [Deebo Samuel](=) (calf) is expected to be limited this week in practice. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Samuel has been on fire this year for the 49ers and Fantasy GMs. He'll be limited in practice as the team prepares to face the Cardinals on Sunday afternoon in Week 9. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 12. [ARI - WR DeAndre Hopkins fills sheet against SF]() Source: USA TODAY Fantasy Sports Arizona Cardinals WR [DeAndre Hopkins](=) has 28 catches for 286 yards and a touchdown in the last three games against the San Francisco 49ers. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] The Cardinals go up against the 49ers on Sunday afternoon in Week 9. Hopkins is getting fewer targets because of other weapons in Arizona, but he's still worth starting every week. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 13. [PHI - Team hopeful for WR Jalen Reagor in Week 9]( Source: The Athletic - Zach Berman Philadelphia Eagles WR [Jalen Reagor](=) (ankle) might be able to return in Week 9. 'We're hopeful this week, but we'll see as the week progresses,' head coach Nick Sirianni said Monday, Nov. 1. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Reagor was carted off the field against the Lions in Week 8. We'll know more about his availability in Week 9 as the week of practice goes on. Most Fantasy GMs have dumped Reagor off their rosters...or at least rarely start him if he's still on their roster.
