Overview
- Season-ending blows to Malik Nabers and Tyreek Hill, plus James Conner’s loss and Trey Benson’s IR stint, have opened immediate roles for replacements across fantasy rosters.
- Rookie RB Woody Marks surged with 69 rushing yards, 50 receiving yards and two touchdowns, with multiple outlets projecting a growing share in Houston’s backfield.
- Arizona’s backfield is in flux as Emari Demercado draws priority-add status while Michael Carter says he will start, with ESPN noting Demercado’s passing-down upside.
- Quarterback outlook tightens with Brock Purdy ruled out, Jayden Daniels cleared to practice but still questionable, Lamar Jackson listed as doubtful, and four teams on bye (ATL, CHI, GB, PIT).
- Darren Waller reignited interest with two touchdowns in his Miami return and is trending to play after limited practice, offering red-zone help in an offense now missing Hill.
