The Chicago Bears face defending champion Seattle Seahawks on Oct. 28, 2026, and must contain Jaxon Smith‑Njigba’s record‑setting season. Smith‑Njigba leads the league with 867 receiving yards (124 per game) and is on pace for a historic 2,100‑yard year. Seattle’s defense tops the NFL, allowing just 233 yards per game, while the Bears rank 18th in pass defense and have seen cornerback Jaylon Johnson struggle. Rookie safety Dillon Thieneman, praised for clutch tackles and a recent pick‑six, emerges as the Bears’ best hope to limit Smith‑Njigba’s big plays.

In Week 7, the Dallas Cowboys finally embraced a true rushing attack, and rookie Javonte Williams delivered a career night with 155 yards, a 34‑yard burst and a touchdown on 38 carries, leading Dallas to a 38‑21 win over the Philadelphia Eagles. The effort lifted the Cowboys’ average from a league‑bottom 76 yards per game to 204 yards on the ground, opened up play‑action for Dak Prescott’s 212 passing yards and three TDs, and highlighted the offensive line’s resurgence. Williams’ 6.2 yards per carry underscored what the team has been missing – a physical, dependable run game.

Currently leading the AFC North at 5-2, it would be surprising for the Pittsburgh Steelers to trade away pieces from their current roster. Yet, as the NFL trade deadline approaches, there’s a possibility that a couple of Steelers could be out the door. According to ESPN insider Jeremy Fowler, there’s a 20 percent chance that […]

Patrick Mahomes says the Chiefs’ offense will breathe easier if Rashee Rice returns from a hamstring injury. Rice, who posted 13 catches for 190 yards and a TD in his first three games, was Mahomes’ go‑to rhythm receiver on quick slants and YAC. His absence lingered as Kansas City fell to Seattle and relied heavily on Travis Kelce and Xavier Worthy. With the Broncos visiting on Nov. 1, Andy Reid hints Rice may practice this week, raising hopes he’ll start against Denver and help revive the passing attack.

Detroit’s trade saga may soon snap as interim GM Shawn Horcoff intensifies talks to move captain Dylan Larkin and young defenseman Simon Edvinsson. According to NHL insider Elliotte Friedman, Larkin has expanded his no‑trade list to ten U.S. clubs, now including the New Jersey Devils alongside interest from Minnesota, Carolina, Colorado, Dallas, Florida, Tampa Bay, Vegas and Washington. Horcoff is actively courting rival front offices, seeking top‑tier young centers and elite prospects in exchange for the core pieces. The Red Wings remain patient, rejecting offers they deem insufficient, and will hold out for a “home‑run” return that matches Detroit’s long‑term re‑tooling plan.

NFL owners spend millions on midterms, mostly to one party.
The Buccaneers face a critical decision before the trade deadline after a 42-13 win over Carolina leaves them 2-5. Wide receiver Chris Godwin, a former Pro Bowler on a three‑year, $66 million deal, has seen production tumble to 27 catches for 243 yards this season and carries a $33.7 million cap hit, the highest for any receiver. ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler suggests the Chiefs could pursue him, but his costly contract makes a trade tricky. Tampa Bay’s next two games will likely determine whether they become sellers.
Coach Mike Tomlin says rookie wideout Germie Bernard will be a game‑changer in the Steelers’ Week 10 rematch with the Browns. After a narrow 27‑24 loss in Week 4, Pittsburgh hopes Bernard’s speed and route‑running can spark a comeback at Heinz Field on Oct. 28. Tomlin hints the young talent could flip crucial third‑down situations and give the Steelers the edge they missed in Cleveland.
The Dallas Cowboys recently got back into the win column with a blowout road victory over the Philadelphia Eagles.

Bills head coach Joe Brady confirms veteran wideout DJ Moore and defensive tackle Ed Oliver are back on the practice field ahead of the Week 8 home game versus the Ravens. Moore missed the last 2½ games due to an aggravated AC‑joint sprain, while Oliver has been limited to just 27% of defensive snaps this season. Both players could provide a major boost: Oliver, built into the defense’s core, posted a respectable 8.8% pressure rate, and Moore maintains 2.47 yards per route run when healthy. Their practice designations this week will signal whether they’ll suit up for Buffalo’s first game after the bye on October 28, 2026.
The Patriots are coming off a loss to the Bears that dropped them to 4-3 before heading to Miami. And the trade deadline is Nov. 10.
The Carolina Panthers will be without outside linebacker Jaelan Phillips for Thursday night’s matchup against the Green Bay Packers after he was ruled out with a hamstring injury, per the injury report.

Sharp Football Analysis’ Week 8 fantasy worksheet pits the Vikings against the Lions, highlighting a clash of extremes. Detroit’s offense ranks 2nd in EPA (58.3) and averages 25.0 implied points, while Minnesota’s defense leads the league in defensive EPA (66.3) and allows just 6.9 passing points per game. The Lions boast a league‑best 74.6% early‑down success rate and generate the most 20‑plus‑yard plays (5.7 per game); the Vikings are opposite, with the lowest early‑down success (29.2%) and only 2.3 big plays per game. Jared Goff enters as a solid QB2 (22.2 fantasy points/game) but faces a stout Vikings defense that has allowed only three passing TDs all season. The worksheet breaks down spreads, play counts, and turnover rates to help fantasy owners gauge upside.

Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell defends his aggressive fourth‑down strategy by likening it to John Candy’s iconic hat in the film “Uncle Buck.” After the Lions’ bold, albeit unsuccessful, fourth‑down attempt at the 24‑yard line against the Green Bay Packers—followed by a game‑winning field goal—Campbell used the pop‑culture reference to explain why fans love or hate his approach. He noted influences from Sean Payton and emphasized that, like the hat, the fourth‑down philosophy provokes strong reactions.
After some signs the past week hinted at the possibility, Joseph will return to practice more than a year after last appearing in a game.
