Daniel Jones Won't be Traded at the Deadline

Sunday, November 8, 3:26 PM

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Daniel Jones won't be moved at the upcoming trade deadline, per Tom Pelissero. The team informed Jones this weekend that they won't be trading him by Tuesday's deadline. They've fielded offers for him, but they've ultimately decided to keep the veteran quarterback. Jones isn't exactly having a great year under center, so it's not shocking to see a ton of buzz for him right now. The Colts could potentially attempt to move him again in the offseason. He's owed $38 million for the 2027 season, which is mid-tier quarterback money in today's league. He should remain the starter in Indy for now, but it wouldn't be shocking to see him benched towards the end of the season for a younger option.

Brock Purdy Has Good Matchup For Post-Bye Rebound

Saturday, November 7, 12:15 AM

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy will be without Mike Evans (Achilles) and Deebo Samuel Sr. (hamstring) for another game. Missing his top two wide receivers didn't slow Purdy down in Week 7. In the 49ers' last game, Purdy set new season highs in completions (27) and pass attempts (40) and put up his second-most passing yards (288) in a game this year. A single touchdown and two interceptions contributed to Purdy's lowest fantasy score of 2026, however. Week 9 is ripe for a rebound, with a plus matchup against the Raiders. Las Vegas has allowed the fourth-most fantasy points to quarterbacks and the seventh-most passing yards this season. Even with the depleted receiving corps, Purdy still has George Kittle and Christian McCaffrey (hamstring) to lean on, and Demarcus Robinson (ankle) may be activated from injured reserve. Purdy is projected for another top-12 finish and should be in fantasy lineups this weekend.
