With Tanner Hudson (pectoral) also lost for the season, rookie TE Jack Endries and TE Cam Grandy will have to "pick up the slack," and Taylor said of Endries: "I'm not nervous at all about using him. I think he's earned the opportunity."

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.
| 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. |

Colts | Jonathan Taylor has not requested a trade, per Shane Steichen Wed Oct 28, 01:50 PM
Colts RB Jonathan Taylor has not requested a trade, head coach Shane Steichen said on Wednesday.
| Footballguys view: Taylor does not need to request a move, teams should be circling around the Colts to see if they can add him via trade. With Quentin Nelson traded to the Seahawks on Tuesday, the flood gates could open as the Colts are sellers. Taylor is still a great back, and he could be a foundational player going forward. However, he could be seen as someone the Colts trade away to get more assets. |

Ravens | Rookie Adam Randall returns to practice, 21-day window opens Wed Oct 28, 01:13 PM
Ravens rookie RB Adam Randall returned to practice on Wednesday, opening his 21-day window to be activated from injured reserve. Randall was placed on injured reserve with a designation to return before the regular season. The fifth-round pick from Clemson, a converted wide receiver, played in two preseason games, totaling 17 carries for 71 yards and a touchdown plus four catches for 47 yards on six targets. Derrick Henry, Justice Hill and Rasheen Ali lead the running back room.
| Footballguys view: Hill is the primary backup to Henry. Randall is a converted wide receiver who can be a threat on all three downs. When back on the active roster, Randall will be an option as the no.3 back behind Hill and Henry. We appreciate him in dynasty formats. |

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's 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 a 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. |

Giants | Skattebo says hamstring OK, but 'wait and see' when Giants return to practice Wed Oct 28, 11:41 AM
Giants RB Cam Skattebo indicated his hamstring was OK after Sunday's win over the Texans, and the team has its Week 8 bye to recover. With RB Tyrone Tracy Jr.'s surprise placement on IR on Tuesday, the beat writer's view is to 'wait and see where he's at' when the Giants return to practice next week; Skattebo missed chunks of time last offseason with a hamstring injury. The backfield was shaping up as an even split before Tracy left with a hamstring injury in the second quarter, with Skattebo at 14 snaps to Tracy's 11 at that point. As the game progressed, RB Devin Singletary took over as the third-down back while mixing in on early downs.

Ravens WR Rashod Bateman checked in at No. 18 on ESPN's list of the league's top 25 possible trade candidates ahead of the deadline, compiled by Matt Bowen and Jeremy Fowler. They estimated Bateman's chances of being traded at 15% and listed the Commanders and Chiefs as potential fits. "Bateman has long been a bit miscast in Baltimore," Fowler wrote, adding that "rookie Ja'Kobi Lane is well-positioned for WR2 status in Baltimore." Bateman has 266 receiving yards through seven games this season.

Roush is the only reserve tight end on the 53-man roster behind starter Colston Loveland. "We've been very pleased with the improvement that [Roush] has made over these first seven weeks, and so there's a high likelihood that his rep count is going to go up as a result of what's going on here," coach Ben Johnson said. Roush, a third-round pick out of Stanford, said, "I'll have to step up in the coming weeks, and I feel confident in my ability to do that."

| Footballguys view: Earlier on Tuesday, the Colts traded Quenton Nelson to the Seahawks. Buckner returns to the team that made him a 2016 first-round pick before dealing him to Indianapolis in 2020, adding some much-needed heft to the 49ers' defensive line. |
