He added that "in three months, if I don't get to wear the Honolulu blue and play for the Lions anymore, it's going to be all good. I'll go get paid somewhere else."

  Jets | Aaron Glenn: Breece Hall 'always been our starter,' but Allen 'going to get touches too'    Wed Oct 21, 12:18 PM

Jets head coach Aaron Glenn said on Wednesday that RB Breece Hall will remain the starter when he returns from his quadriceps injury, but RB Braelon Allen will still have a role. "Breece is our starter, he's always been our starter, but Braelon is going to get touches too," Glenn said when asked about the backfield roles based on how Allen has been playing. Hall is not practicing on Wednesday.

Footballguys view: Hall may not be able to return in Week 7. He's been injured for about a month, but the team did not place him on Injured Reserve. Allen has been productive as the starter and lead back for the Jets while Hall has been out. When Hall returns, Allen should be more involved than he was previously when Hall was healthy.

  Jets | Breece Hall won't practice Wednesday    Wed Oct 21, 12:12 PM

Jets RB Breece Hall will not practice on Wednesday. Hall has been dealing with a quad injury that kept him out of the Jets' Week 6 game against the Patriots. The Jets host the Dolphins on Sunday.

Footballguys view: Hall injured his quad in Week 3, and he hasn't played since then. He's getting closer to a return but could still miss Week 7. That makes Braelon Allen the Jets' lead back again, and we like him as an RB2/flex option for Fantasy GMs.

  Browns | Todd Monken 'optimistic' Judkins, Sampson will play vs. Titans    Wed Oct 21, 12:10 PM

Browns head coach Todd Monken said on Wednesday that he is optimistic both RB Quinshon Judkins and RB Dylan Sampson will play against the Titans on Sunday. Judkins was ruled out of last Sunday's game against the Ravens after a pregame workout. Sampson has been on injured reserve with a knee injury suffered in the season opener and returned to practice last week.

Footballguys view: Judkins should be the lead ball-carrier for the Browns now that he's likely to be back in action. We've got Judkins in the RB3/flex range for Fantasy GMs this week. Sampson is a dynamic player in space, and the Browns could use him as their primary receiving back.

Tampa Bay plays at Carolina on Sunday, and Mayfield could be out there. Jalon Daniels will start if Mayfield isn't quite yet ready to play.

  Giants | Giants plan to start J.J. McCarthy Sunday vs. Texans    Wed Oct 21, 12:03 PM

The Giants plan to start QB J.J. McCarthy on Sunday against the Texans. McCarthy replaced an 'ineffective' QB Jameis Winston in the Week 6 loss to the Saints, after which head coach John Harbaugh was not ready to name his Week 7 starter.

Footballguys view: McCarthy looked good as he got the Giants back in the game late against the Saints. Now, he's likely to start against the Texans in Week 7. That means Fantasy GMs should be looking at McCarthy as a streaming option. He provided a spark a week ago, and now McCarthy gets a chance to redeem himself as a starter again.

  Saints | Jordyn Tyson will not practice this week, per GM Mickey Loomis    Wed Oct 21, 09:23 AM

Saints WR Jordyn Tyson will not practice this week, general manager Mickey Loomis said on Wednesday. Tyson, a rookie first-round pick, is on injured reserve with a hamstring strain and has been designated to return.

Footballguys view: He made the trip to Paris with the team for the Week 7 game against the Steelers. However, Tyson could still be a couple of weeks away from returning to the field. Bryce Lance will be the no.2 receiver behind Chris Olave in Week 7, and we've got him in the super crazy deep 'what the heck' flex range. Olave is a WR1 as per usual.

Packers RB Josh Jacobs is back on the field Wednesday after a stint on the Commissioner Exempt List. Jacobs is expected to get a full week of work ahead of Sunday's Week 7 game at Detroit.

Footballguys view: Packers HC Matt LaFleur said he is undecided on whether or not Jacobs will play in Week 7 against the Lions. With no idea of his usage upon his return, Fantasy GMs should look at him as a 'what the heck' flex in Week 7 (if he plays).

  Eagles | Eagles down to two RBs, 'could be a sign' Saquon Barkley returns for Week 7    Tue Oct 20, 04:44 PM

The Eagles have just two running backs on their 53-man roster, Saquon Barkley and Dameon Pierce, after waiving RB Jaydon Blue and waiving/injuring RB Carson Steele on Tuesday, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported.

Footballguys view: The team also signed RB Elijah Mitchell to its practice squad and released RB Ian Wheeler from it. The moves "could be a sign" that Eagles RB Barkley, who has been dealing with a hamstring injury, "will be back in the mix" for the Week 7 game against the Cowboys. We'll be watching for more.

  Patriots | A.J. Brown on the practice field Tuesday 'working on his craft'    Tue Oct 20, 03:25 PM

Patriots WR A.J. Brown, who is dealing with an ankle sprain, was on the practice field Tuesday "working on his craft." Brown was limited in Monday's practice ahead of Thursday's game.

Footballguys view: In his first game back from a high ankle sprain, Brown had a career-high three drops. He played 52 of a possible 68 snaps. As ESPN.com's Mike Reiss noted, Drake Maye targeted Brown a team-high 10 times, and the connection usually wasn't on target -- Brown totaled three receptions for 27 yards. Perhaps most disappointing was when Brown had a beautiful deep ball up the right sideline go through his hands, and later dropped a pass on fourth down. We expect a better version of Brown this week after he's had a chance to knock some rust off.

  Commanders | Terry McLaurin suffers torn patellar tendon, done for the season    Tue Oct 20, 03:03 PM

Commanders WR Terry McLaurin has suffered a torn patellar tendon and is done for the season, the MRI revealed on Tuesday. McLaurin was injured in Monday's loss to the 49ers and did not return. Head coach Dan Quinn had called the knee injury "significant" after the game.

Footballguys view: McLaurin, who had a 27-yard catch before the injury on Monday and 15 catches for 230 yards and a touchdown in five games this season, also missed seven games last season while dealing with a quad injury. The Commanders have McLaurin under contract for two more seasons, but his future with the team could be impacted by the level of offseason changes that go on in Washington. Meanwhile, Treylon Burks and Antonio Williams move up in a receiving corps that will be led by Stefon Diggs and tight end Chig Okonkwo.
