Giants RB Saquon Barkley totaled just 52 yards in Thursday's loss to the Cowboys. He managed 39 yards on 11 carries (3.5 per rush) and tallied merely 13 yards on 4 receptions Barkley's 6 targets tied 2 others for the team lead. Gary Brightwell chimed in with 5-31 rushing and 2 catches (on 2 targets) for 18 yards. RB Matt Breida went 2-6 rushing and caught his lone target for 9 yards.
Steelers RB Jaylen Warren (hamstring) did not practice on Thursday. His absence on Monday night vs. the Colts would leave RB Najee Harris in a workhorse role.
49ers WR Deebo Samuel (hamstring) was limited on Thursday for the 2nd straight practice. We'll see what he does on Friday and how he's listed on the final injury report for this weekend's game vs. the Saints.
Rams TE Tyler Higbee (knee) returned to a limited practice on Thursday. We'll see what he does tomorrow and how he's listed on the final injury report for this weekend's game vs. the Chiefs.
Cardinals WRs Rondale Moore (groin) and Greg Dortch (thumb) remained sidelined on Thursday. Both guys are looking unlikely to play vs. the Chargers this weekend, but check back tomorrow for another update.
Chargers WR Mike Williams (ankle) remained sidelined on Thursday. He's looking like a long shot to play vs. the Cardinals this weekend.
Chargers TE Gerald Everett (groin) was upgraded to full participation in Thursday's practice. That puts him on track to return for this weekend's game vs. the Cardinals' 31st-ranked TE defense.
Bengals WR Ja'Marr Chase (hip) put in his 2nd straight limited practice on Thursday. It's still unclear if he'll be ready to play vs. the Titans this weekend. Check back tomorrow for another update on Chase.
Bengals RB Joe Mixon (concussion) did not practice on Thursday. He's now a big long shot to be cleared in time for Sunday's game vs. the Titans. Look for Samaje Perine to operate as Cincinnati's lead back in that one.
Bears QB Justin Fields (shoulder) remained limited in Thursday's practice. We'll see what he does tomorrow and how he's listed on the final injury report for this weekend's game vs. the Jets.
Dolphins RB Raheem Mostert (knee) missed his 2nd straight practice on Thursday. He now looks extremely iffy for this weekend's game vs. the Texans. Mostert's absence would leave RBs Salvon Ahmed and Myles Gaskin behind lead back Jeff Wilson.
Ravens WR Demarcus Robinson was added to Thursday's injury report with a hip and did not practice. So his status for this weekend's game vs. the Jaguars is suddenly in question. Check back tomorrow to see how Robinson is listed on the final injury report.
Ravens QB Lamar Jackson (hip) returned to a full practice on Thursday. That ends any concern about his availability for Sunday's game vs. the Jaguars.
Ravens RB Gus Edwards (hamstring, knee) was a full participant in Thursday's practice. That should put him in line to play vs. the Jaguars this weekend, but we'll get another update on Edwards tomorrow.
Browns TE David Njoku (ankle, knee) returned to a limited practice on Thursday. That gives him a chance to play vs. the Bucs this weekend, but it's clear that Njoku won't be at 100% if he does suit up.
Bucs RB Leonard Fournette (hip) remained limited in Thursday's practice. We'll see what he does on Friday and how he's listed on the final injury report for this weekend's game vs. the Browns.
Broncos WR Jerry Jeudy (ankle) remained sidelined on Thursday. He's looking like a long shot to play vs. the Panthers this weekend.
Patriots WR DeVante Parker (knee) is active for tonight's game against the Vikings. He played just 40% of snaps last week, though, and remained limited in practice this week. Parker also garnered just 2 targets in that contest. He's not much of a fantasy option tonight.
Lions WR Amon-Ra St. Brown racked up 122 yards and a TD on 9 catches to dominate Detroit receiving in the narrow loss to the Bills. WR Kalif Raymond and RB D'Andre Swift tied for 2nd on the team with 4 catches apiece. No other Detroit player exceeded 35 receiving yards. WR D.J. Chark caught the team's other TD pass, tallying 2 receptions for 16 yards in all.
Lions RB Jamaal Williams delivered his league-leading 13th rushing TD of the season in Thursday's narrow loss to the Bills. He also handled 67% of Detroit RB carries, taking 18 for 66 yards (3.7 per rush). That marked his 4th straight game with 16+ attempts and 3rd consecutive game with a TD. Home matchups with the Jaguars and Vikings the next 2 weeks look decent for Williams' chances of continuing his useful output. RB D'Andre Swift got another measly 5 carries (for 19 yards) but ranked 2nd on the team with 8 targets (4 catches, 24 yards). The 13 opportunities are his largest total since Week 1. RB Justin Jackson added 4 carries for 4 yards and 1 catches for 15 among 2 targets.
