Outlook Ryan Flournoy
Home Matchup Brings Sneaky Flex Appeal in a Potential Shootout
Healthy and operating as Dallas's starting slot receiver alongside CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens, Flournoy has built momentum with 91 receiving yards and a score over his past two games. He noted recently that he prepares for every receiver spot so the offense can adapt, relevant context with Pickens questionable due to a hamstring injury.
Fantasy managers have added him in over half of leagues during the past month, though most still keep him stashed on the bench. Hosting a stingy San Francisco defense as underdogs in a projected shootout should keep Dallas throwing often. Our weekly projection calls for roughly 41 receiving yards and 9.3 fantasy points, making him a viable flex streamer in deeper formats.

Outlook Travis Etienne
Practice Window Opens Ahead of High-Scoring Home Matchup Against Carolina
New Orleans opened Etienne's practice window on Wednesday, with the veteran logging a limited session as he recovers from a hamstring injury suffered in late September. Listed atop the depth chart ahead of Alvin Kamara, Etienne worked in a shared role with 30 carries and 11 catches over three games prior to injured reserve, while Kamara missed Wednesday's practice with a back injury.
Although fantasy managers have him stashed in 94% of leagues, our weekly projection sits at zero points until the Saints officially activate him for Sunday's potential shootout. Even if cleared, workload restrictions after a lengthy absence make him a risky play, so keep him stashed on benches for now and check back often for the latest updates on his status.
