The Denver Broncos have waived veteran wide receiver Josh Reynolds as they prepare for their bye week. Reynolds was brought back from injured reserve, but the team chose not to activate him, with his return window expiring.

Fantasy Impact: Reynolds, who contributed 12 catches for 183 yards and one touchdown in his limited appearances, was expected to return after practicing for the past few weeks. However, the Broncos' decision to waive him suggests a shift towards their younger receivers. Fantasy owners should now look to the likes of Marvin Mims Jr., who might see an increased role. This move indicates the team's confidence in their emerging talent.

Amidst injuries to Christian McCaffrey and Jordan Mason, the San Francisco 49ers have bolstered their backfield by signing Ke'Shawn Vaughn to their practice squad.

Fantasy Impact: Vaughn's signing provides depth at a critical time for the 49ers. Although currently behind other backs, his experience with the Buccaneers might earn him a chance at elevation. Fantasy managers should view him as a deep league stash, with potential value if he steps into a more significant role due to further injuries or as a change-of-pace back.

The 49ers have signed Patrick Taylor Jr. to their practice squad following injuries to running backs Christian McCaffrey and Jordan Mason.

Fantasy Impact: With McCaffrey and Mason out, Taylor could be elevated. He's a speculative add in fantasy, potentially filling a role in the backfield or special teams. His value depends on workload and integration.

The Philadelphia Eagles have released wide receiver John Ross from their practice squad.

Fantasy Impact: Ross's release leaves the Eagles' receiver depth unchanged, with A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith as the main targets.
