Jaguars | Udinski says Travis Hunter's offensive role 'will probably vary week-to-week' Thu Oct 29, 04:33 PM
Jaguars WR Travis Hunter's breakout offensive game against the Texans won't necessarily mean a dramatic and steady increase in his offensive snaps, offensive coordinator Grant Udinski said on Thursday. "That's something that will probably vary week-to-week," Udinski said, adding, "Some weeks, it might be a strong feature of Travis... and then the next game it might only be two or three catches or a couple touches." Hunter played nine offensive snaps in the Week 6 loss to Houston, catching a season-high four passes for 59 yards and a touchdown, while also starting at cornerback and recording an interception. He has played 311 snaps at cornerback and 30 at wide receiver this season, and Udinski said the team will "continue to try to build his route tree."

Seahawks | Macdonald doesn't think Rashid Shaheed will practice Thursday Thu Oct 29, 03:34 PM
Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald said on Thursday that he doesn't think WR Rashid Shaheed (knee) will practice that day. Shaheed was ruled out of Sunday's game against the Chiefs after suffering the knee injury.
| Footballguys view: Early returns are positive about Shaheed's knee injury according to Macdonald. The Seahawks play on Monday night against the Bears, but we may not have clarity on Shaheed's status until Saturday. He's not been much of a factor this year on offense. |

Bills | DJ Moore practices in red non-contact jersey Thursday Thu Oct 29, 02:40 PM
Bills WR DJ Moore (shoulder) practiced in a red non-contact jersey on Thursday. The Bills host the Ravens on Sunday.
| Footballguys view: Moore has missed the past two games with this shoulder problem, and the team had a Week 7 bye. He's in a non-contact jersey, but the signs are there for him to play in Week 8. If he does play against the Ravens, we like Moore in the WR2/flex range for Fantasy GMs out there. |

Patriots | No sign of A.J. Brown at Thursday practice after new knee injury listing Thu Oct 29, 02:28 PM
Patriots WR A.J. Brown (ankle/knee) was not seen at practice on Thursday. Brown was also absent during the open locker-room period earlier in the day, which is a change in routine. He has been listed as a limited participant in practices since his return from injured reserve, and the knee injury added to his listing on Wednesday was a new development.
| Footballguys view: Brown was limited on Wednesday, so clearly he's downgraded to a "DNP" on Thursday. That's not a good sign for his availability in Week 8. His status for the game against the Dolphins is unknown, so Fantasy GMs need to circle back on Friday to see if he's at least questionable. |

Bengals | Ja'Marr Chase back at practice Thursday after missing Wednesday Thu Oct 29, 01:42 PM
Bengals WR Ja'Marr Chase returned to practice on Thursday after missing Wednesday's session with what was listed as rest and an ankle injury. Chase's return comes ahead of Sunday's Week 8 game against the Titans.
| Footballguys view: Chase gets some rest in the middle of the week. He's good to go for Week 8, and he's a set-it-and-forget-it WR1 of the highest level (as per usual). |

Chargers | Ladd McConkey a full participant Wednesday Wed Oct 28, 06:16 PM
Chargers WR Ladd McConkey (concussion) was a full participant in practice on Wednesday. It was the Chargers' first injury report ahead of Sunday's Week 8 game at the Rams.
| Footballguys view: McConkey and a simplified offense can help the Chargers look better in Week 8. The matchup is better than some would think, and if McConkey is out there, we like him as a flex play with upside. Coming off a bye with tons to prove, the Chargers could use a good game here. |

Cowboys | George Pickens limited in Wednesday practice Wed Oct 28, 06:13 PM
Cowboys WR George Pickens (shoulder/hamstring) was a limited participant in practice on Wednesday. Pickens took a hit to his right shoulder in Monday night's win over the Eagles.
| Footballguys view: Let's see what Pickens can do on Friday, as he's limited on Wednesday with a known shoulder issue and now a new hamstring designation. Pickens should produce like a WR2 (borderline WR1) against the Cardinals in Week 8. |

Broncos | Jaylen Waddle does not practice Wednesday ahead of Chiefs game Wed Oct 28, 05:49 PM
Broncos WR Jaylen Waddle (chest) did not practice on Wednesday ahead of Denver's Week 8 game against the Chiefs. Waddle played in the Broncos' Week 7 win over the Cardinals. The Broncos will share another practice report on Thursday before releasing Week 8 game statuses on Friday.
| Footballguys view: Waddle aggravated a chest injury in Sunday's win over the Cardinals. Facing the Chiefs at home on Sunday, the Broncos offense would benefit from Waddle's presence. He's only really had one good/big game this year as Bo Nix has been struggling. Nix seems to be bouncing back after a good game against the Cardinals, and we'll see if the Broncos offense can produce at a better level -- with or without Waddle in Week 8. |

Raiders | Kirk Cousins wants to give Jalen Nailor more opportunities: 'He's separating' Wed Oct 28, 05:33 PM
Raiders QB Kirk Cousins said on Wednesday that WR Jalen Nailor has been getting open and needs more chances in the offense. "When you watch the tape, you see him separating. I've told him you're doing a lot of good things. I need to give you opportunities to make it right," Cousins said, pointing to a late route against the Bills on which he overthrew Nailor and to "a couple of other examples" in Sunday's loss to the Rams. "He's beating his guy. That's all he can do. And then it's our job to give him opportunities to make plays," Cousins added.
| Footballguys view: He's running the routes, but the Raiders aren't getting him the ball much. Nailor caught 2-of-5 targets for 14 yards in the Raiders' Week 7 loss against the Rams. He's yet to be a waiver-wire addition, but that could change if Cousins starts sending it in his direction. |

Texans | Tank Dell 'next man up' with Jaylin Noel's turf toe regarded as season-ending Wed Oct 28, 05:27 PM
Texans WR Tank Dell is the next man up at receiver after WR Jaylin Noel's turf toe injury, which is regarded as a season-ending issue, per a league source. Noel's loss is a blow to Houston's offense and special teams, as he was the most explosive and fastest receiver on the roster with 4.39 speed in the 40-yard dash. Dell was activated from injured reserve and lined up with the starting offense in Sunday's loss to the Giants.
| Footballguys view: Dell is an explosive player who can make big things happen on limited snaps. The Texans wide receiver situation is a bit convoluted, and we're not sure if Dell would get a healthy target share, no matter how things shake out. They have a bye in Week 8 to see what plan comes together. |

Texans | Jaylin Noel expected to miss the rest of the season Wed Oct 28, 05:21 PM
Texans WR Jaylin Noel is expected to miss the rest of the season, a source said on Wednesday. Noel was placed on injured reserve with a toe injury on Wednesday after suffering a turf toe injury in Sunday's loss to the Giants, which left him wearing a boot.
| Footballguys view: Toe injuries can be tricky to deal with, and they require time to properly heal. Noel was just getting more looks in the Texans' passing attack, and now he'll be eligible to return in Week 13 against the Steelers. |

Rams | Davante Adams has successful hamstring surgery, 'probably closer to the shorter term' Wed Oct 28, 04:52 PM
Rams WR Davante Adams had a successful clean-out surgery on his hamstring, head coach Sean McVay said on Wednesday. McVay said "it's probably closer to the shorter term" of the six- to 10-week timeline for Adams, who is on injured reserve.
| Footballguys view: A return against the 49ers in Week 14 could be a possibility for Adams. Hopefully, your fantasy league has roster spots for injured players so Adams can be stashed until his return. |

Chiefs | Rashee Rice limited in first practice back Wed Oct 28, 04:45 PM
Chiefs WR Rashee Rice (hamstring/knee) was a limited participant in practice on Wednesday. It was his first time on the field since his hamstring injury, which kept him out of last Sunday's game against the Seahawks. Kansas City visits the Broncos on Sunday.
| Footballguys view: Rice hasn't played since Week 4 against the Raiders. This is a big road game for the Chiefs in Week 8, and the Broncos should be getting All-Pro CB Patrick Surtain II back for this contest. If he plays, you'll want to consider Rice as at least a deep flex play in Week 8. |

Patriots | A.J. Brown's injury listing clarified as knee/ankle on Wednesday report Wed Oct 28, 04:43 PM
The Patriots informed reporters on Wednesday that WR A.J. Brown's injury on the team's Wednesday injury report should be listed as knee/ankle. Brown was limited in Wednesday's practice ahead of the Week 8 game at Miami. Aside from a lengthy list of players on injured reserve, it was 'maybe the healthiest Wednesday report' the Patriots have had 'in a long time.'

Bengals WR Ja'Marr Chase was listed as a non-participant in Wednesday's practice due to an ankle injury and rest. Chase had not been present at the start of Wednesday's practice. The Bengals host the Titans on Sunday.
| Footballguys view: It's a rest day, so we think he'll be good to go against the Titans. Chase is always a top-tier WR1 when he plays, but circle back Friday just to check on his status. |

Jets | Garrett Wilson will not request trade before deadline: 'I want to be here' Wed Oct 28, 04:00 PM
Jets WR Garrett Wilson said on Wednesday that he has not asked to be traded and will not ask the team to deal him before the Nov. 10 trade deadline. "Yeah, I want to be here," Wilson said. "I want to win games. That's the one thing we've been missing on here. I love it here. Do I love it more than I love winning? Nah, to be completely honest. But I'm hopeful." Wilson, who was targeted three times with two catches for 26 yards in Sunday's 28-25 loss to the Dolphins, said the on-field frustration between him and QB Geno Smith was not directed at each other, and Smith said Wednesday, "I'm looking to get him the football, as much as I can. But I have to be mindful of the defense as well."
| Footballguys view: Football is an emotional sport, and sometimes emotions boil over when running hot. Wilson is a cornerstone player for the Jets, no matter what the head coach/quarterback combination may be in the future. |

Jaguars | Reporter believes Jaguars 'more open than ever' to Brian Thomas Jr. trade offers Wed Oct 28, 03:03 PM
The reporter believes the Jaguars are "more open than ever to listening to trade offers" for WR Brian Thomas Jr. ahead of the trade deadline. He added that Thomas' trade value is "complicated," a topic he discussed with Daniel Popper in an early trade-deadline preview.
| Footballguys view: The deadline is Nov. 10, and Thomas should have a few suitors if the Jaguars have him on the trade block. A change of scenery could be best for a receiver who hasn't caught a pass since Week 4. |

Packers | Matthew Golden questionable for Thursday's game against Panthers Wed Oct 28, 03:00 PM

Panthers | Jalen Coker will play Thursday at Green Bay Wed Oct 28, 02:59 PM
Panthers WR Jalen Coker (shoulder) did not receive a game status and will play Thursday night against the Packers.
| Footballguys view: Coker caught 1-of-4 targets for nine yards in the Panthers' Week 7 loss to the Bucs. That's a terrible stat line, but Fantasy GMs should still be considering him a WR2 against the Packers on Thursday Night Football. |

Bills | DJ Moore on the practice field Wednesday in a red non-contact jersey Wed Oct 28, 02:54 PM
Bills WR DJ Moore was on the practice field Wednesday wearing a red non-contact jersey, joining the wide receivers for a drill with QB Josh Allen. Head coach Joe Brady had said Wednesday that "it will be nice to get" Moore back on the field. Moore (shoulder) was listed as a limited participant on Wednesday's official injury report.
| Footballguys view: Moore has been dealing with a shoulder injury (AC joint sprain) and was inactive against the Raiders in Week 6. A Week 7 bye helped Moore get more time to get right. Let's see what his practice status is this week, Friday specifically, as the Bills prepare for a big game versus the Ravens. |

Patriots | A.J. Brown 'sometimes' still pushing through right high-ankle sprain Wed Oct 28, 02:08 PM
Patriots WR A.J. Brown said on Wednesday that he is sometimes still trying to get his explosiveness back since his right high-ankle sprain. "Yeah, sometimes. Sometimes I see it and sometimes I'm pushing through. But none of that stuff really matters. I'm out here, so...." Brown said.
| Footballguys view: Brown caught 3-of-6 targets for 48 yards in the Patriots' Week 7 loss to the Bears. He's not quite himself, and the chemistry he has with Drake Maye is a work in progress. Against the Dolphins on Sunday afternoon, we've got Brown in the WR2 range. Fantasy GMs won't be too confident, but they don't want to miss out if/when Brown has a breakout week. |

Commanders | Terry McLaurin placed on IR, Van Jefferson promoted from practice squad Wed Oct 28, 12:55 PM
The Commanders formally placed WR Terry McLaurin on injured reserve on Wednesday after he suffered a season-ending torn patellar tendon in a Week 6 loss to the 49ers. WR Van Jefferson was promoted from the practice squad in a corresponding move, chosen over rookie WR Jaden Bradley as a more veteran depth option. The beat writer expects WR Treylon Burks to man the X position and rookie WR Antonio Williams to see a significant increase in his snap count.
| Footballguys view: The move with McLaurin is now official, and it means he missed seven games last year and will miss 12 games this season. He's got a $34 million cap hit in 2027, but there is a potential out for the team after this year (which brings $25.5 million in dead cap). The Commanders will turn to Antonio Williams for some of the downfield work McLaurin would do. |

Commanders | Diggs held out Wednesday, rest day 'likely' weekly going forward Wed Oct 28, 12:36 PM
Commanders WR Stefon Diggs is being held out of practice on Wednesday but will be "full-go" on Thursday, head coach Dan Quinn said. Quinn said going forward this likely will be the case for Diggs each week, and that it was not related to the hand injury Diggs appeared to suffer against the 49ers.
| Footballguys view: It's what many veterans do around the league. We're just left to wonder what ailment Diggs is dealing with. He's out on Wednesday, but we're expecting full participation on Thursday. That means Diggs is good to go for the Week 8 game against the Eagles. We like him in the WR2/flex range for Fantasy GMs in PPR formats. |
