The Chargers are 0-7 with the trade deadline Tuesday, and Adam Schefter and Ian Rapoport report that calls on Justin Herbert, Ladd McConkey and Khalil Mack keep getting hard nos. Folks, I am a Raiders man, and my own chair rule says they mean it. I am picking them over Houston today.

Three days before the trade deadline, Tom Pelissero says the most likely outcome for Jonathan Taylor is staying in Indianapolis, and Adam Schefter and Ian Rapoport report the Colts have held trade talks on Daniel Jones. Neighbors, my Week 8 carry test came back ugly, and I still trust the masking tape.
Jacksonville beat Baltimore 33-10 Thursday night. Derrick Henry finished with 17 carries for 57 yards, Justice Hill turned nine carries into 85 yards and a touchdown, and Joe Fagnano threw for 60 yards in his first career start. Folks, my 20-carry call missed, and the crate rule needs an amendment.
The Browns put Deshaun Watson in the concussion protocol Wednesday, and Shedeur Sanders is preparing to start at New Orleans. Harold Fannin Jr. caught 10 passes for 154 yards in last Sunday's 27-6 loss at Pittsburgh. Friends, my last Browns call missed, and I am making another one anyway.
Lamar Jackson is out indefinitely with a thumb injury, Tyler Huntley's turf toe is season-ending, and Joe Fagnano will start Thursday night against Jacksonville, per Adam Schefter. My 80-yard Derrick Henry call missed at Buffalo. Folks, I am buying Henry again, and this time I am buying the carries.
Zach Charbonnet and Jadarian Price have no injury designations, and Adam Schefter says both are expected to play Monday night against the Bears. Charbonnet is less than nine months removed from ACL surgery. Price is still on injured reserve. Neighbors, a whole backfield gets one football like any other.
Adam Schefter and Ian Rapoport reported Saturday morning that the Colts are now open to trading Jonathan Taylor, and Tom Pelissero says they already turned down a 2027 second-round pick plus another pick. Folks, the masking tape lasted four days. I say Taylor gets traded before the Nov. 10 deadline.
