Colts | Josh Downs still practicing amid reported trade request Fri Oct 30, 12:05 PM
Colts WR Josh Downs is still practicing amid his reported trade request, according to a Friday update. Downs' trade request was first reported on Wednesday, and WR-needy teams have called the Colts about him.
| Footballguys view: Downs made his desire for a trade public, but he appears willing to play until then. Downs could theoretically play two more games before the deadline, but the Colts have shown a willingness to deal this season, and he could get traded before then. The Colts' offense has been horrendous lately, and Downs can't be relied on as much more than a WR3. Hopefully, a change of scenery can move him up the fantasy rankings soon. |

Titans | Tyjae Spears uncertain for Sunday at Bengals Fri Oct 30, 11:41 AM
Titans RB Tyjae Spears (knee) will not practice Friday and is in doubt for Sunday's Week 8 game at the Bengals. Spears also did not practice Wednesday or Thursday.
| Footballguys view: With Spears out and Tony Pollard's name swirling in trade discussions, Nick Singleton should be stashed in deep leagues. Michael Carter got the elevation last week and will likely be the one called up again on Sunday. But in what appears to be a lost season for the Titans, they might want to see what they have in their rookie late in the season. Pollard had a massive three-touchdown outing last week without Spears, and should see a similar workload this week against the Bengals. Start him as a high-end RB2. |

Titans | Carnell Tate in doubt for Sunday at Bengals Fri Oct 30, 11:41 AM
Titans WR Carnell Tate (shoulder) will not practice Friday and his availability for Sunday's Week 8 game at the Bengals is in doubt. The rookie also did not practice Wednesday or Thursday.
| Footballguys view: Tate hasn't practiced all week. If he is active, he'll face a brutal matchup against DJ Turner. If you roster Tate, find an alternative. He is unlikely to play and unlikely to be productive if he miraculously does. |

Buccaneers | Emeka Egbuka 'NOT practicing' Friday after limited sessions Fri Oct 30, 11:11 AM
Buccaneers WR Emeka Egbuka (concussion) was not practicing on Friday. Egbuka had been limited in practice on Wednesday and Thursday, and on Thursday he practiced in a regular, not non-contact, jersey. Tampa Bay hosts the Falcons on Sunday.
| Footballguys view: Egbuka is listed on the injury report with both a concussion and a foot injury. His absence on Friday could be part of his scheduled recovery plan or a setback. We'll update here as soon as we get more information. |

Jets | Breece Hall limited again in Friday practice Fri Oct 30, 10:42 AM
Jets RB Breece Hall (quadriceps) was limited in practice again on Friday. Hall was also limited on Wednesday and Thursday after missing last Sunday's game against the Dolphins. The Jets host the Raiders on Sunday.
| Footballguys view: Hall hasn't played since suffering a quadriceps injury in Week 3, and hopes to return this week. Hall logged two limited practices last week before being scratched on game day, so his practice participation this week doesn't guarantee a return. Braelon Allen has been fantastic in Hall's absence, so the Jets probably don't feel a need to rush Hall back. If Hall does return this week, it's not illogical to think Allen may remain involved to lessen Hall's load. At some point this year, Hall should get healthy enough to regain his role as the team's top back. If he's active this week, you can start him this week as a risky RB3. Allen's ranking as an RB2 or RB4 will be contingent on Hall's availability. |

Eagles | Jaydon Blue 'will likely be active' Sunday night with Barkley yet to practice Fri Oct 30, 03:00 AM
Eagles RB Jaydon Blue will likely be active for Sunday night's game at the Commanders, as RB Saquon Barkley has not practiced this week while dealing with hamstring and back injuries. Unless Barkley bounces back quickly, the Eagles' running backs on Sunday night will be Blue and Elijah Mitchell, with Will Shipley, Tank Bigsby and Dameon Pierce on injured reserve. Blue is on the 53-man roster, while Mitchell is on the practice squad. "I feel like I'm very comfortable in the offense," Blue said on Thursday. "But I'm ready. I feel like I'm going to take advantage of every opportunity that I get."
| Footballguys view: With Saquon Barkley, Tank Bigsby, Will Shipley, and Dameon Pierce all down, the Eagles will finally give Jaydon Blue a shot. Blue is a spark plug who can score from anywhere on the field. He lacks discipline and consistency, which likely explains why he's struggled to get playing time in his NFL career. But for desperate managers looking for a bye-week fill-in, Blue is likely available and could make his week with one big play. |

Panthers | Will Lee III exits with 'a pretty good hamstring' as Panthers CB injuries mount Fri Oct 30, 01:21 AM
Panthers rookie CB Will Lee III left Thursday's 27-19 loss to the Packers with what head coach Dave Canales called "a pretty good hamstring" and did not return. Lee, who has started since Week 4, was hurt on a 53-yard completion to Christian Watson and was replaced by Chau Smith-Wade for the rest of the game. Carolina is also without CBs Jaycee Horn and Mike Jackson, who are on injured reserve, and Akayleb Evans, who was placed on IR this week. Canales said second-year CB Corey Thornton is "going to get that opportunity real soon."

Panthers | Canales says 'maybe' when asked if knee is limiting Bryce Young's mobility Thu Oct 29, 11:44 PM
Panthers QB Bryce Young's knee issue may be affecting his ability to escape pressure. Asked on Thursday whether the knee was compromising Young's ability to escape, head coach Dave Canales replied, "Maybe." Young has been on the injury report with the knee but has been a full participant, and while he is still able to move, he is not as slippery as he was earlier in the season.

Cardinals | Jeremiyah Love limited again Thursday Thu Oct 29, 07:16 PM
Cardinals rookie RB Jeremiyah Love (ankle) was limited in practice again on Thursday. Love missed the last two games with the ankle injury before returning to practice this week.

Seahawks | Zach Charbonnet a full participant in Thursday practice Thu Oct 29, 06:45 PM
Seahawks RB Zach Charbonnet was a full participant in practice on Thursday. Charbonnet was ruled out for last Sunday's game against the Chiefs.
| Footballguys view: Charbonnet was close to returning last week, but the team kept him out of action against the Chiefs. This week, Charbonnet is trending to play. Rookie first-round pick Jadarian Price is also practicing. With the game against the Bears on Monday, Fantasy GMs won't have clarity until Saturday... and we're hoping things are a bit more clear at the time. |

Eagles WR DeVonta Smith (hamstring) was 'still sidelined' on Philadelphia's Thursday injury report, ahead of Sunday night's game against the Commanders.
| Footballguys view: Smith was estimated as a non-participant on Wednesday after missing Monday night's game against the Cowboys. Two days of "DNP" is not a good sign, but practicing on Friday might make Smith limited in Week 8. Come back to see what Smith can do on Friday. |

Broncos | Jaylen Waddle returns to practice as limited on Thursday Thu Oct 29, 05:22 PM
Broncos WR Jaylen Waddle (chest) was a limited participant in practice on Thursday after not practicing to start the week. Denver hosts the Chiefs on Sunday.
| Footballguys view: Waddle hasn't been doing much for the Broncos this year outside of a big game against the Jaguars. He's back in action, but the chest injury is something they'll monitor closely on Friday. Waddle is more of a WR3/flex play with his current role in a struggling offense. |

Broncos | J.K. Dobbins says reduced workload is about staying fresh, not losing starting job Thu Oct 29, 05:15 PM
Broncos RB J.K. Dobbins indicated on Thursday that he believes his reduced workload is Denver trying to keep him fresh rather than him losing the starting job. Dobbins said rookie RB Jonah Coleman's uptick in work came when the Broncos were winning late and that all he cares about is winning. He added that if he wasn't getting carries and Denver was losing, "s***, I'm gonna be mad as f***."
| Footballguys view: Dobbins was salty with reporters on Thursday. He's getting work with Coleman and Harvey in a three-headed RBBC. With Coleman impressing and looking to do more, and with Harvey having the pass-catching role, there may not be much for Dobbins in certain matchups. We've got him as a deep flex play in this current role. |

Chiefs | Rashee Rice limited again on Thursday Thu Oct 29, 04:45 PM
Chiefs WR Rashee Rice (hamstring/knee) was a limited participant in practice on Thursday, his second straight limited session. Rice hasn't played since tweaking his hamstring in Week 4. The Chiefs visit the Broncos on Sunday.
| Footballguys view: Getting Rice back would be huge. He's missed two games and had a bye week to recover from this hamstring/knee problem. The Chiefs offense needs all the help they can get in the passing game. Rice may play against the Broncos, but they're getting All-Pro CB Pat Surtain back for Sunday's game. |

Ravens | Lamar Jackson a full participant for second straight day Thu Oct 29, 04:40 PM
Ravens QB Lamar Jackson was a full participant in practice on Thursday. It was his second straight full session after he also practiced fully on Wednesday.

Jets | Braelon Allen a full participant in Thursday's practice Thu Oct 29, 04:36 PM
Jets RB Braelon Allen (ankle) was a full participant in practice on Thursday. Allen had been limited in Wednesday's session. The Jets host the Raiders on Sunday.
| Footballguys view: Allen has been rock solid as the starting back for the Jets. Now that Breece Hall could be returning this week, Allen may go to more of a reserve role. At the very least, we could see the Jets easing Hall back into action. Allen has been too good to go back to just a few touches a game. |

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."
| Footballguys view: Varying from week to week is not great for Fantasy GMs. Hunter has a ton of athleticism, so he can be seen as a 'what the heck' flex on a weekly basis. |

Broncos | RJ Harvey present for only a portion of Thursday's practice viewing period Thu Oct 29, 04:20 PM
Broncos RB RJ Harvey was present for only a portion of the media viewing period at Thursday's practice. Harvey's status on Thursday's injury report will be one to watch, along with those of DT Zach Allen and WR Jaylen Waddle. Denver hosts the Chiefs on Sunday.
| Footballguys view: Harvey popped up on the injury report with a knee issue. After not being on the injury report on Wednesday, this is a concern. The team is looking for Jonah Coleman to do more, and JK Dobbins might not yet take a backseat to the rookie. |
