Commanders LB Frankie Luvu wins appeal of 1-game suspension

Tue Nov 4 10:43pm ET
Field Level Media

Washington Commanders linebacker Frankie Luvu successfully appealed his one-game suspension for a third hip-drop-tackle violation, getting the punishment reduced on Tuesday to a $100,000 fine.

The NFL handed out the one-game ban on Monday in response to a tackle Sunday night. However, Luvu convinced hearing officer Derrick Brooks, appointed in tandem by the league and the players' union, to allow him to be eligible to play this week against the visiting Detroit Lions.

The tackle in question happened midway through the first quarter of Washington's 38-14 defeat to the Seattle Seahawks, when Luvu pulled down Jaxon Smith-Njigba in the open field as three other defenders converged.

Defined in Rule 12, Section 2, Article 18 (a)(b) of the NFL rulebook: "It is a foul if a player uses the following technique to bring a runner to the ground: (a) grabs the runner with one or both hands or wraps the runner with both arms; and (b) unweights himself by swiveling and dropping his hips and/or lower body, landing on and/or trapping the runner's leg(s) at or below the knee."

Luvu previously received fines for hip-drop tackles in Weeks 4 and 8.

Luvu, a 29-year-old eight-year pro, ranks third on the Commanders with 50 tackles this season. He also has one forced fumble, two passes defensed and two sacks.

Waiver Wire Pickups: Week 10

Player Notes
Parker Washington Nov 5 8:40am CT
Parker Washington

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Parker Washington led the Jaguars in targets and receptions in Week 9 against the Las Vegas Raiders. He hauled in eight of his nine receptions for 90 yards, with a very solid 26 percent target share. Travis Hunter (knee) is out for another three games minimum, Brenton Strange (hip, quadriceps) is sidelined, and Brian Thomas Jr. (ankle) is struggling in 2025 and rolled his ankle late in the game on Sunday, and is questionable heading into Week 10. The Jaguars traded for Jakobi Meyers on Tuesday; however, Washington should still receive a majority of the looks on Sunday against the Houston Texans while Meyers adjusts to the new offense. The unfortunate news is that the Texans are a tough matchup, allowing the fourth fewest points to opposing wide receivers. Derek Stingley Jr. is also one of the top cornerbacks in the game, so it might be tough sledding for the Jaguar pass catcher he guards on Sunday. That said, the targets should be there for Washington, as he's now seen 19 over his last two games, making him a flex option in Week 10 and a must-add off the waiver wire.

Devin Singletary Nov 5 8:40am CT
Devin Singletary

New York Giants running back Devin Singletary was expected to have an increased role this weekend with Cam Skattebo (ankle) sidelined for the rest of the season. However, nobody expected him to out-touch Week 9's hottest waiver wire pickup, Tyrone Tracy Jr. Singletary not only out-touched Tracy 10 to nine, but he also played 56% of the snaps compared to Tracy's 44%. Singletary was also more efficient with his touches, averaging 5.38 YPC to Tracy's 3.60 YPC. It's a small sample size of one game, so it's important not to overreact, considering Tracy was the starter in 2024; however, it's a situation to monitor moving forward, and Singletary no longer deserves to be on the waiver wire in 12-team formats. He should be rostered heading into Week 10 and has some RB3 value against the Chicago Bears, who rank middle of the pack against opposing running backs.

Trey Benson Nov 5 8:20am CT
Trey Benson

Arizona Cardinals second-year running back out of Florida State, Trey Benson (knee), is eligible to return from the IR this week; however, the team has not yet provided an update on whether or not they will activate him. "He's doing well. He's getting better," head coach Jonathan Gannon said on November 1. Fantasy managers who have been stashing him on their IR will be disappointed by this news, but it will remain crucial for fantasy managers to stay up to date with his news this week to see if he's activated. Benson was fantasy football's top waiver wire pick-up back in Week 4 when James Conner (foot) was ruled out for the year. Since Benson's injury, the Cardinals' running back room has been a carousel of Bam Knight, Emari Demercado, and Michael Carter. After Week 9's win at the Dallas Cowboys, it was Demercado who appeared to be the more effective running back (5.64 YPC) compared to Knight's (3.0 YPC). The Cardinals have also committed to Jacoby Brissett as their starting quarterback moving forward, so once Benson returns, he should be in the RB2 conversation and see a majority of the team snaps. He remains one of, if not the best, IR stash in fantasy football.

Brock Purdy Nov 5 2:10am CT
Brock Purdy

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy (toe), still affected by a turf toe injury suffered in Week 1 and reaggravated in Week 4, missed a fifth consecutive game in Week 9. Head coach Kyle Shanahan referred to Purdy's injury as "probably something that doesn't go away all year, regardless of when he comes back," as reported by The Athletic's Vic Tafur. Based on Shanahan's assessment, Purdy will be playing through pain if and when he resumes starting duties. Doing so would limit his mobility and, in turn, potentially affect his effectiveness. Until Purdy can get healthy enough for game action, Mac Jones will remain under center for San Francisco. Jones improved to 5-2 with the 49ers' 34-24 win over the Giants on Sunday. Should his role as interim starter extend to Week 10, he will face a Rams defense he gouged for 342 yards and two touchdowns in Week 5.

Shavon Revel Jr. Nov 5 12:30am CT
Shavon Revel Jr.

Dallas Cowboys linebacker DeMarvion Overshown (knee) and rookie cornerback Shavon Revel (knee) are "trending" toward playing in Week 11 against the Las Vegas Raiders, according to Joseph Hoyt of the Dallas News. Overshown suffered a torn ACL, MCL, and PCL in December of last season and has been on the Physically Unable to Perform List for most of the season. His 21-day practice window was opened on October 22, and he'll be set to return following the team's Week 10 bye. Revel, on the other hand, has also been recovering from a torn ACL suffered in September 2024 during his final season at East Carolina. The rookie third-rounder began the season on the Reserve/Non-Football Injured List and is trending towards making his NFL debut in Week 11. Overshown and Revel could be big players to get back for a struggling Dallas defense. They'll be expected to be joined by Dallas' two trade deadline acquisitions in linebacker Logan Wilson and defensive tackle Quinnen Williams.

Noah Fant Nov 5 12:00am CT
Noah Fant

Cincinnati Bengals tight end Noah Fant caught two of his three targets for 28 yards and a touchdown in a thrilling 47-42 loss against the Chicago Bears in Week 9. Fant caught his third touchdown of the season and has now recorded multiple receptions in four straight games. Fant had little involvement in this game despite it being one of the highest scoring games we will see all season. Since posting a season high 73.5% route share in Week 7, the 27-year-old has dipped to 33.3% and 44% in each of the past two weeks. The targets in Cincinnati's offense are heavily consolidated around the top two wideouts in Tee Higgins and Ja'Marr Chase, and with Fant's route share being limited in back-to-back games, fantasy managers should likely look elsewhere if searching for a streamer at tight end for Week 10.

Pat Freiermuth Nov 4 11:40pm CT
Pat Freiermuth

Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Pat Freiermuth scored his third touchdown of the season in Sunday's 27-20 win over the AFC-leading Indianapolis Colts. Freiermuth has gotten rolling a bit after a slower start to the year, recording at least three receptions in each of the past three games and scoring all three touchdowns. The 27-year-old leads the team in receiving yards in that time and ranks as TE4 in total PPR points (44.1). It's fueled almost entirely by his five catches, 111-yard, two-touchdown performance against the horrendous Cincinnati Bengals defense on Thursday night in Week 7. The usage isn't there to justify Freiermuth all of a sudden jumping to TE1 status in fantasy. Freiermuth profiles as a low-end streaming option against the Chargers on Sunday Night Football in Week 10.

Chris Rodriguez Jr. Nov 4 11:20pm CT
Chris Rodriguez Jr.

Washington Commanders running back Chris Rodriguez Jr. had his best game of the season in Sunday night's blowout loss to the Seattle Seahawks, handling 12 carries for 65 yards and a touchdown. Rodriguez scored his second touchdown of the season, while the 12 carries and 65 yards were both the second-highest totals of his three-year career. The 25-year-old saw the same number of carries as rookie Jacory Croskey-Merritt and could be working his way back into a timeshare on early downs, with the rookie struggling on the ground of late. Rodriguez is a physical, bruising back that will get the yardage that is blocked for him and adds a few more after contact as he's always falling forward. The Washington offense will be without star quarterback Jayden Daniels (elbow) for the foreseeable future, but Marcus Mariota is capable of running the same style of offense. Rodriguez offers waiver wire value in deeper leagues headed into Week 10.

Kyle Pitts Nov 4 9:50pm CT
Kyle Pitts

Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts Sr. drew another seven targets in Week 9's 24-23 loss to the Patriots, converting them into four catches for 38 yards. While his continued involvement in the passing attack has been a welcome change compared to the underwhelming production of the past few seasons, it hasn't amounted to much for fantasy, as the 25-year-old has just a single touchdown on the season. Also, althoughhe's on pace for 91 receptions, which would obliterate his previous career high of 68, the 6-foot-6 tight end is pacing for 812 yards, which would be more than last season's 602 yards but would fall well short of his career high of 1,026 that was set in his rookie season of 2021. Still, with two more red zone targets this past Sunday, the fifth-year pro could be on the verge of his big breakout performance of 2025, and he'll get a favorable matchup against the Colts in Germany this week versus a defense that's yielded a touchdown to an opposing tight end for four straight weeks now.

Jerome Ford Nov 4 9:10pm CT
Jerome Ford

Despite being rumored as a potential candidate to be moved, Cleveland Browns running back Jerome Ford will remain with his team through the 2025 trade deadline. The 26-year-old has mostly been limited to a passing-downs role in Cleveland this season, recording 149 scrimmage yards on 42 touches across eight games played. However, Ford could play an expanded role in his team's Week 10 matchup against the New York Jets. Star rookie running back Quinshon Judkins (shoulder) suffered an AC joint sprain in Cleveland's final game before their Week 9 bye, putting his availability for Week 10 in question. Even if Judkins is out, Ford would likely split backfield work in Cleveland with Dylan Sampson. Still, Ford would profile as at least a low-end flex option for fantasy managers in most formats in a favorable matchup against New York if Judkins cannot play.

Brandon Aiyuk Nov 4 8:50pm CT
Brandon Aiyuk

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk (knee) has not yet played this season as he recovers from the devastating knee injury he suffered seven games into his 2024 campaign. Aiyuk appears to be multiple weeks away from a return, as the team is not opening his 21-day practice window ahead of its Week 10 matchup against the Los Angeles Rams. In his last healthy season in 2023, Aiyuk recorded 75 catches for 1,342 yards and seven touchdowns on 105 targets across 16 games. There's no questioning the 27-year-old's ability to be productive when he's on the field; it's just a matter of when Aiyuk's knee will be healthy enough for him to return. Fantasy managers should have minimal expectations for Aiyuk's 2025 production. Still, in leagues with IR spots, Aiyuk could be a low-risk flier worth stashing.

Jayden Reed Nov 4 8:40pm CT
Jayden Reed

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Jayden Reed (collarbone, foot) has been on Injured Reserve since suffering a broken collarbone in Week 2. Reed also underwent foot surgery, so he's recovering from multiple injuries. Still, it appears as though the 25-year-old could be nearing a return. Across 17 games in 2024, Reed recorded 55 catches for 857 yards and six touchdowns on 75 targets. He'll join a crowded Packers wide receiver room upon his return and should see stiff competition for playing time and targets from Romeo Doubs, Christian Watson, and Matthew Golden. However, Green Bay lost star tight end Tucker Kraft (knee) to a torn ACL in Week 9, potentially opening up opportunities in the passing game. Reed may not be active for his team's Week 10 matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles, but he still may be worth adding off the waiver wire now in fantasy leagues with 12 or more teams.

Malik Washington Nov 4 8:30pm CT
Malik Washington

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Malik Washington recorded a season-high 48 receiving yards on three catches in his team's Week 9 loss to the Baltimore Ravens. The 24-year-old has struggled with efficiency so far this season, logging just 183 yards on 28 catches (6.5 yards per catch). Still, Washington has emerged as a consistent target-earner since Miami lost star wideout Tyreek Hill (knee) to a season-ending knee injury in Week 4. Washington has earned at least five targets in four out of his last five games played. His upside is limited, but Washington should continue to provide a relatively stable fantasy floor in PPR-scoring formats. Heading into a Week 10 matchup with the Buffalo Bills, Washington is worth rostering in PPR leagues with 12 or more teams.

Rashod Bateman Nov 4 8:20pm CT
Rashod Bateman

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Rashod Bateman has recorded just 15 catches for 184 yards and two touchdowns on 29 targets across eight games played in 2025. However, Bateman recorded his second touchdown reception of the season in Week 9, Baltimore's first game with quarterback Lamar Jackson under center since Week 4. Across 17 games with Jackson in 2024, Bateman recorded 45 catches for 756 yards and nine touchdowns on 72 targets. Bateman will likely remain a low-target-volume player, but Jackson's return to the lineup should unlock his big-play ability. In fantasy leagues with 14 or more teams, Bateman could be worth targeting on the waiver wire heading into a Week 10 matchup against the Minnesota Vikings.

Daniel Jones Nov 4 8:10pm CT
Daniel Jones

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Daniel Jones turned in his worst performance of the season in a 27-20 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 9. Jones completed 31 of his 50 passes for 342 yards, one touchdown, and three interceptions while adding a rushing touchdown as well. The veteran quarterback came into the game with just three interceptions all season, thus doubling his number in that area in the disappointing loss. Jones will look to bounce back at home against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 10. Atlanta has been tough on quarterbacks this season, allowing just the 27th-most fantasy points per game to the position. That being said, Jones has earned enough leeway thanks to his strong play this season to be considered as a low-end QB1 in fantasy for that matchup.

Jonathan Taylor Nov 4 8:10pm CT
Jonathan Taylor

Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor finally cooled off in a 27-20 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 9. Taylor carried the ball 14 times for 45 yards while catching both of his targets for 12 yards in the disappointing loss to Pittsburgh. It was the first time all season that Taylor had been held to fewer than 66 rushing yards and just the third time in nine games that he was held out of the end zone. Taylor will now head back home to face off against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 10. Atlanta has struggled to slow opposing rushing attacks this season, allowing the 10th-most fantasy points per game to running backs in eight games. Taylor remains a rock-solid RB1 in all fantasy formats heading into Week 10's contest.

Tyler Warren

Indianapolis Colts tight end Tyler Warren turned in a quiet game in a Week 9 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. Warren caught five of his seven targets for just 26 yards in the loss, a season-low in receiving yards for the breakout rookie. The first-year tight end will look to move past his quietest game as a pro in a Week 10 home matchup against the Atlanta Falcons. The Falcons have dominated enemy tight ends this season, allowing the fewest fantasy points per game to the position thus far. Warren remains a main piece of the Indy passing attack, but fantasy managers would be wise to temper expectations heading into Week 10. He is looking more like a low-end TE1 this coming weekend in all fantasy formats.

Breece Hall

Dynasty | Jets running back Breece Hall was not traded prior to Tuesday's deadline. Dynasty Analysis: This is a situation where no news is actually news as Hall was rumored to be of interest to several contenders. In reality, him staying in New York is a pretty big disappointment as dynasty managers were clearly hoping he'd land in a better spot this year prior to hitting free agency. With the Jets waving the white flag and sending away both Sauce Gardner and Quinnen Williams, things aren't going to get much easier for Hall as he's now clearly on a tanking team. This could also be a decent buying window as the talented Hall is very unlikely to be on the Jets after this season.

Dynasty | The Saints did not trade wide receiver Chris Olave prior to Tuesday's deadline. Dynasty Analysis: Olave was rumored to be of interest to several teams, including the Bills (let your imagination wander). However, the Saints kept him in the hopes they could sign him to an extension. We'll see if that pans out in the end, but anyone with Olave on their dynasty roster has to be at least a little disappointed. Let's face it - Olave has a high floor and a low ceiling in an offense led by Tyler Shough or Spencer Rattler.

Jacoby Brissett

Dynasty | The Cardinals will start Jacoby Brissett this week against Seattle. Dynasty Analysis: Murray's foot injury is said to still be a factor but it's not hard to read the tea leaves here as Arizona seems to have soured on Murray as their present and future at the position. It's a stunning turn of events on paper but it's also obvious to everyone that Jacoby Brissett has simply played better than Murray, which doesn't bode well for his future. We'll see what happens in the coming weeks but expecting Murray to stay with the Cardinals next season seems pretty far-fetched. His ADP is going to take a nose dive this week.
