Bills | DJ Moore in non-contact jersey Friday, 'exact cadence' as week he sat Fri Oct 16, 04:30 PM
Bills WR DJ Moore (shoulder) practiced in a non-contact jersey on Friday at UC Irvine. It is "the exact cadence of practices as last week for Moore, and he wound up sitting." Moore was ruled out for Monday night's game against the Rams. Every member of the Bills' roster, both 53-man and practice squad, was on the field in some capacity on Friday.
| Footballguys view: The Bills have a bye next week, and all signs point to Moore getting another week of rest after breaking his five-year Ironman streak last week. He'll be in the conversation as a high-end WR2 when he returns, and Dalton Kincaid, Khalil Shakir, and Keon Coleman are all boom-or-bust starts while he's out. If he somehow plays this week, the risk of reinjury will be high, putting him in WR3 territory. |

Titans | Tyjae Spears questionable for Sunday at Colts Fri Oct 16, 04:25 PM
Titans RB Tyjae Spears (knee) is questionable to play Sunday against the Colts. Spears was downgraded to a non-participant in practice on Thursday.
| Footballguys view: Spears caught a whopping nine passes last week, putting him on the radar as a pickup in PPR leagues. But as often happens when his workload ramps up, he got injured. Spears can't be started this week, even if active. He'll hope to heal up and get a full week of practice under his belt before Week 7's game against the Browns. |
