David Njoku Practices On Thursday

Cleveland Browns tight end David Njoku (ankle) was able to participate during Thursday's practice. This is good news after Njoku missed Wednesday's session due to an ankle issue. He was a limited participant on Thursday, but the fact he practiced at all is a good sign. It seems like the ankle issue is minor, so […]

Amari Cooper Gets In Limited Practice

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Amari Cooper (ankle) was a limited participant during Thursday's practice session. Fantasy managers shouldn't be alarmed as Cooper will almost certainly suit up for this game. This appears to be the Browns just being cautious with Cooper and limiting his reps. He hauled in six receptions for 89 yards during last […]

Daniel Carlson Remains Limited In Practice

Las Vegas Raiders kicker Daniel Carlson (groin) remained a limited participant during Thursday's practice. The 28-year-old entered last week with a groin injury, but played through the issue. It's possible that he does it again, but groin issues have a tendency to be tricky. Right now, it seems like the Raiders are being cautious with […]

Is Taylor Heinicke Starting and Playing This Week? Week 9 Fantasy Football Start ‘Em, Sit ‘Em Picks

The Atlanta Falcons made a change at quarterback this week, inserting Taylor Heinicke into the team's starting lineup. The veteran quarterback takes over for Desmond Ridder. Will Heinicke play well in his new role with the Falcons? It's not clear if he's going to be the starter going forward yet or if it's just for […]

Tyler Lockett Limited On Thursday

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Tyler Lockett (hamstring) was a limited participant during Thursday's practice. This is positive considering Lockett has missed four of the last five practice sessions. Lockett looks to be trending in the right direction ahead of the Week 9 matchup against the Baltimore Ravens. He could be looking at an increased workload […]

Cole Holcomb Won't Return On Thursday

Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker Cole Holcomb (knee) was carted off the field during the first quarter of Thursday's game against the Tennessee Titans. He appeared to collide with a teammate while attempting to make a tackle over the middle of the field. It looked like a gruesome injury, so it wouldn't be surprising if Holcomb missed […]

DK Metcalf Sits Out Of Thursday's Practice

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver DK Metcalf (hip) did not participate during Thursday's practice session. The big wideout misses Thursday's session after being a full participant on Wednesday. This looks to be a routine rest day for Metcalf who was forced to sit out in Week 7 due to a hip issue. At first glance, this […]

The Week 9 NFL slate is finally here, meaning it's time for fantasy managers to make tough, last-minute start 'em, sit 'em decisions.

Puka Nacua Limited Again With Knee Injury

Los Angeles Rams rookie wide receiver Puka Nacua (knee) was listed as a limited participant in practice for the second straight day on Thursday. Head coach Sean McVay said earlier this week that Nacua came out of the Week 8 loss to the Dallas Cowboys with a little bit of knee swelling, but he seems […]

Justin Fields Out Of Action On Thursday

Chicago Bears quarterback Justin Fields (thumb) was sidelined again for Thursday's practice and is trending toward missing another game this weekend on the road in New Orleans against the Saints. Fields suffered a dislocated thumb on his throwing hand in Week 6 and has missed the last two games as a result. All signs point […]

Luke Musgrave Limited Again In Thursday's Practice Session

Green Bay Packers rookie tight end Luke Musgrave (ankle) was limited in practice again on Thursday. Musgrave suffered a left-ankle injury in Week 7 against the Denver Broncos but played in the Week 8 loss to the Minnesota Vikings. However, he may need to get back to a full practice on Friday to avoid a […]

Aaron Jones Remains Limited Due To Hamstring Issue

Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones (hamstring) was limited in practice for the second straight day this week on Thursday. Jones is most likely going to play, but his injury, coupled with the sad state of the Packers offense this year is wrecking Jones' fantasy value. The 28-year-old has already missed three games (Weeks […]

DeAndre Hopkins Active Thursday Night

Tennessee Titans wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins (toe) is officially active for Thursday Night Football against the Pittsburgh Steelers after being listed as questionable to play. Hopkins' status was a bit up in the air on a short week, but he will ultimately suit up and will be looking for an encore performance after catching three […]

Cardinals Add Tony Jones Jr. To Active Roster

With Arizona Cardinals running back James Conner (knee) still on Injured Reserve and rookie Emari Demercado (toe) having not practiced this week due to a toe injury, the Cardinals promoted Tony Jones Jr. to the 53-man active roster from the practice squad on Thursday. Jones was claimed on waivers from the New Orleans Saints on […]

Braxton Berrios Downgraded On Thursday

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Braxton Berrios (hamstring) was downgraded to a limited practice on Thursday after he was a full participant to begin the week on Wednesday. Mid-week downgrades on the injury report usually aren't good news for players, but if Berrios returns to a full practice on Friday, he should be good to go […]

DeVante Parker Not Spotted At Thursday's Practice

New England Patriots wide receiver DeVante Parker (concussion) was not spotted at practice for the second straight day on Thursday. Parker suffered a concussion in the Week 8 loss to the Miami Dolphins and remains in the NFL's concussion protocol. Given the 30-year-old's previous history with head injuries, it seems likely that he won't be […]

Hayden Hurst Feeling Better

Carolina Panthers tight end Hayden Hurst (illness) was under the weather on Wednesday and didn't practice, but he was apparently feeling much better on Thursday and put in a full practice session. Hurst hasn't been anywhere near the TE1 radar in fantasy in his first year in Carolina, as most of the team's aerial targets […]

DJ Chark Jr. Returns To Practice On Thursday

After being held out of Wednesday's practice, Carolina Panthers wide receiver DJ Chark Jr. (elbow) was listed as limited on Thursday. Meanwhile, fellow wideout Laviska Shenault Jr. (ankle) missed practice for the second straight day. Chark was wearing a red non-contact jersey at practice, so his availability for Sunday's game against the Indianapolis Colts could […]

Michael Gallup Back From Illness

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Michael Gallup (illness) was a full participant in practice on Thursday after being held out on Wednesday due to an illness. Gallup is still searching for his first touchdown of the season as he heads into a Week 9 date with the division-rival Philadelphia Eagles. His production -- 20 catches on […]

Taysom Hill Has Reps Capped Again Thursday

New Orleans Saints quarterback/tight end Taysom Hill (hip) was listed as limited in practice for the second straight day on Thursday. It's unlikely that Hill's hip injury will put him in danger of missing the Week 9 game against the Chicago Bears. The Swiss Army Knife of the Saints offense had nine carries for 63 […]

Cade Otton Has Low-End Streaming Value

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cade Otton has seen an increase in usage over the last two weeks. The former fourth-round pick has seen six targets in each of the last two games. It has resulted in nine receptions for 70 yards with zero touchdowns. There could be some PPR value here, but Otton remains […]

Michael Thomas Returns To Full Practice Session

After he was limited with an illness on Wednesday, New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas put in a full practice on Thursday. Thomas played through his illness in the Week 8 win over the Indianapolis Colts and caught four of his seven targets for 68 yards. The 30-year-old should be feeling better this weekend […]

Chris Godwin A Low-End WR2 For Week 9

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin has seen an increase in usage over the last four games. In fact, Godwin has seven or more targets in each of the last four contests. Sadly, the yardage hasn't been there and Godwin has only found the end zone once this season. The good news is, the […]

These are the latest notable injury updates as of Thursday, November 2, 2023. Fantasy football assets such […]

Mike Evans Remains On WR1 Radar

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans has scored a touchdown in five of his seven games this season. The veteran wideout has been a reliable deep threat option for the Bucs' offense so far. Evans has scored in back-to-back games, but finished with a season-low 39 yards last week. He should bounce back against […]

Justin Herbert Still Listed With Finger Injury

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert (finger) remains on the Week 9 injury report but was able to put in a full practice on Thursday. Herbert fractured his left finger in Week 4 but hasn't missed any games after a convenient Week 5 bye. He was excellent in the Week 8 beatdown of the Chicago […]

Rachaad White Has RB2 Value

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Rachaad White has been held under 50 rushing yards in every game but two this season. The former third-round pick has struggled to find much success on the ground through seven games. However, he has been able to salvage his fantasy value through the receiving game. Last week, White hauled […]

Gerald Everett Trending Towards Playing In Week 9

Los Angeles Chargers tight end Gerald Everett (hip) was listed as a full practice participant on Thursday. It means that Everett is trending toward playing on Monday night against the New York Jets after he was held out of the Week 8 Sunday night victory over the Chicago Bears. Everett's impending return is bad news […]

Joshua Palmer Not Practicing On Thursday

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Joshua Palmer (knee) was not seen on the practice field on Thursday after getting hurt in the Sunday night win over the Chicago Bears in Week 8.
