Bye Weeks

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
