Thursday Game

Seattle Seahawks @ Dallas Cowboys

Early Games - Sunday, 1:00 pm ET

Miami Dolphins @ Washington Commanders

• Tyreek Hill finally practiced in a limited fashion on Thursday, increasing the likelihood that he'll play. The rest could be precautionary, but monitor his designation going into Sunday.
• Both De'Von Achane and Raheem Mostert have had limited practices all week. Achane is the biggest worry.
• Jeff Wilson is a likely flex play this week.
• Jaelan Phillips is on season-ending IR.
• The Commanders have one of the worst defenses in the league, so expect big plays from the Dolphins.
• Love the Commander's passing game for garbage-time/catch-up points.

Detroit Lions @ New Orleans Saints

• Rashid Shaheed has logged two straight DNPs with a quad injury, which doesn't look great for Sunday if he doesn't see the field on Friday.
• David Montgomery logs full practice and looks good for Sunday.
• Marshon Lattimore is a questionable and crucial piece to stop the Lions' pass catchers.
• The Saints' defense is banged up as a whole, with Pete Werner, Marcus Maye, and Cameron Jordan nursing injuries.

LA Chargers @ New England Patriots

• The Patriots still haven't named a starting quarterback, and who is under center is irrelevant, considering how bad the offense is as a whole.
• Demario Douglas is the one viable pass catcher but has not logged a practice while dealing with a concussion, which is worrisome for Sunday.
• Rhamondre Stevenson remains a must-start with a solid matchup nonetheless. He's the only thing that works and continues to receive an increase in targets.

Denver Broncos @ Houston Texans

• Tank Dell has been limited in practice with a calf injury and could carry an injury designation into Sunday.
• Houston's OL has more injuries, with Tytus Howard headed to IR.
• Dalton Schultz has been sidelined with a hamstring injury, and we'll need to monitor his Friday practice, but this doesn't look good for Sunday.
• This game has one of the highest expected points with a 47.5 O/U.

Arizona Cardinals @ Pittsburgh Steelers

• Michael Wilson still hasn't practiced as he nurses a shoulder injury and looks doubtful again.
• Zach Ertz was released this week, which looks great for Trey McBride over the rest of the season.
• McBride did, however, pop up on the injury report with a groin injury after logging a limited practice on Thursday.
• Diontae Johnson misses practice with an illness and will be someone to monitor.

Atlanta Falcons @ New York Jets

• Breece Hall was limited in practice again with a hamstring injury and will need a full practice on Friday.
• This game has the lowest expected points with a 34-point O/U.

Indianapolis Colts @ Tennessee Titans

• Treylon Burks logs a full practice and looks poised to return from a concussion.
• Jonathan Taylor will miss an extended amount of time after thumb surgery.
• Zack Moss is a top 15 back until Taylor returns.
• Will Levis has a minor ankle tweak in the middle of the week but looks set to start again.
