Titans fire Brian Callahan after a rough stretch and install Mike McCoy as interim head coach while they pursue a long-term hire. Among names to watch are Matt Nagy and Arthur Smith, both with past head-coaching experience and notable NFL ties to Tennessee: Nagy from KC, Smith previously linked to the Titans and Falcons. GM Mike Borgonzi’s KC history adds a wrinkle to the process, while Smith’s Memphis roots bring a hometown appeal. The move sets the stage for an offseason reshaping of the Titans’ offense with fantasy impact.

Brian Branch’s postgame confrontation with JuJu Smith-Schuster triggered a one-game NFL suspension, upheld on appeal. The incident followed an apparent illegal block and Mahomes’ celebration, underscoring the league’s stance on sportsmanship and the risk of on-field debris. Detroit Lions now prepare for Week 7 MNF against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, with Branch’s status a focal point and a reminder that discipline can swing a team's game plan.

Zaire Franklin backed Brian Branch after Branch was suspended for a Week 6 punch on JuJu Smith-Schuster, calling JuJu an arsehole and defending his teammate’s readiness to mix it up. The clash looms over a Week 12 Chiefs-Colts tilt that could reshape the AFC race and spark a budding on-field rivalry.

Brian Branch’s one-game suspension for striking JuJu Smith-Schuster was upheld, forcing him to miss Monday’s Lions-Buccaneers game. Detroit’s secondary is thin with D.J. Reed on IR and Terrion Arnold, Avonte Maddox sidelined, Kerby Joseph nursing a knee, plus Taylor Decker limited by a shoulder. Tampa Bay, led by Baker Mayfield, sits at 5-1 and will test Detroit’s depleted back end. Branch returns Oct. 21, but the fantasy landscape shifts as the Lions navigate a rough defensive matchup.

Seattle's defense has been stingy, holding four of six opponents to 17 points or fewer, while the offense remains explosive. PFF's power rankings shake up sees KC No. 1, Ravens No. 7, Commanders No. 8, Buccaneers No. 9, and Seattle No. 12, with Baltimore’s climb tied to Lamar Jackson's looming return despite a rough 1-5 start. Seattle must keep winning to earn respect after two close losses and a shootout defeat to Tampa Bay; SI pieces add depth on Seahawks studs and Jaxon Smith-Njigba’s pace toward Steve Largent’s receiving mark.
