[PIT - WR Diontae Johnson sits out Wednesday](#24) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 1. [GB - No practice for RB Aaron Jones](=) Source: ESPN.com - Rob Demovsky Green Bay Packers RB [Aaron Jones](=) (calf) is not participating in practice Wednesday, Oct. 28. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] The team is wisely being cautious with the star running back. They are going to bring Jones back slowly. That means Jamaal Williams might be their lead back again in Week 8 as they take on the Vikings. Stay tuned. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 2. [NO - WR Michael Thomas still sidelined](=) Source: NewOrleansSaints.com New Orleans Saints WR [Michael Thomas](=) (ankle, hamstring) didn't practice Wednesday, Oct. 28. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Let's just hope Thomas can get healthy for the fantasy playoffs. His status for Week 8 is in doubt. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 3. [PHI - RB Miles Sanders sitting out](=) Source: ESPN.com - Tim McManus Philadelphia Eagles RB [Miles Sanders](=) (knee) is not participating in practice Wednesday, Oct. 28. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] The Eagles have a Week 9 bye so they might keep Sanders on the sidelines for one more week. They play against the Cowboys on Sunday night in Week 8. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 4. [CHI - WR Allen Robinson in protocol](=) Source: NFL Network - Stacey Dales Chicago Bears WR [Allen Robinson](=) (concussion) is going through the concussion protocol, according to head coach Matt Nagy. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] We'll see if Robinson can work through the concussion protocol this week. Keep an eye on his status, mainly on Friday to see if he has been cleared to return. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 5. [DAL - QB Andy Dalton out of practice]( Source: The Dallas Morning News - Michael Gehlken Dallas Cowboys QB [Andy Dalton](=) (concussion) attended the team meeting Wednesday, Oct. 28, but he hasn't progressed enough to attend positional meetings. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] The Cowboys are preparing Ben DiNucci (or Garrett Gilbert) as their starter. Dalton is still working his way through the concussion protocol. He's not expected to be available until the end of the week - at the earliest. Dallas plays against the Eagles on Sunday night in Week 8. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 6. [CIN - RB Joe Mixon to sit out Wednesday](=) Source: The Athletic - Jay Morrison Cincinnati Bengals RB [Joe Mixon](=) (foot) will not participate in practice Wednesday, Oct. 28. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] We'll have to see if Mixon can practice later in the week. Gio Bernard would start against the Titans in Week 8 if Mixon can't play. Fantasy GMs should consider Bernard a RB2 if he's the lead guy. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 7. [CIN - WR A.J. Green a limited participant](=) Source: Bengals.com Cincinnati Bengals WR [A.J. Green](=) (non-injury) was limited during practice Wednesday, Oct. 28. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] It's mid-week and Green is always going to be limited. The veteran has come alive over the last couple of weeks in the Bengals offense. He's worth a flex play. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 8. [PHI - TE Dallas Goedert designated to return](=) Source: The Philadelphia Inquirer - Jeff McLane Philadelphia Eagles TE [Dallas Goedert](=) (ankle) was designated to return Wednesday, Oct. 28. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] The Eagles now have three weeks to activate Goedert. The practice window is open for the talented young tight end, so watch his status closely as the Eagles prepare. When he's going to play, Goedert is clearly a TE1 for Fantasy GMs. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 9. [SF - Two close to returning](=) Source: 49ers.com San Francisco 49ers TE [Jordan Reed](=) (knee) and CB K'Waun Williams (knee) have been designated to return from the Reserve/Injured list. The team will have 21 days to add them to their 53-man roster. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Reed has talent but he's still one of the most oft-injured players in the league. When he returns, Reed will get snaps as a reserve tight end behind George Kittle. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 10. [PHI - Jalen Reagor practicing](=) Source: ESPN.com - Tim McManus Philadelphia Eagles WR [Jalen Reagor](=) (thumb) is participating in practice Wednesday, Oct. 28. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Reagor has a chance to play against the Cowboys on Sunday night in Week 8. If he's out there the rookie is worth considering as a flex play with upside. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 11. [MIN - RB Dalvin Cook to practice]( Source: Vikings.com Minnesota Vikings RB [Dalvin Cook](=) (groin) will practice Wednesday, Oct. 28. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Good news for Cook and Fantasy GMs here. He's expected to return in Week 8 and that should give a boost to the Vikings up-and-down offense. Monitor Cook on Friday to see if he fully practices before the game against the Packers on Sunday. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 12. [BAL - RB Mark Ingram not on field](=) Source: ESPN.com - Jamison Hensley Baltimore Ravens RB [Mark Ingram](=) (ankle) is not participating in practice Wednesday, Oct. 28. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] The Ravens backfield has been inconsistent for Fantasy GMs. Is it a J.K. Dobbins week or a Gus Edwards week....or will Ingram come through? The Ravens play a tough Steelers defense in Week 8. You likely have better options if Ingram plays. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 13. [SEA - DE Carlos Dunlap headed to SEA]() Source: ESPN - Adam Schefter Cincinnati Bengals DE Carlos Dunlap was acquired by the Seattle Seahawks Wednesday, Oct. 28, for an undisclosed package. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Dunlap needed a change of scenery and the Seahawks need pass-rush help. He's only got 1.0 sack this year but had 9.0 sacks last season and can still be an effective player. The veteran requested a trade after getting benched a couple of weeks ago and the Bengals obliged with a pretty good landing spot. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 14. [BUF - WR John Brown practices in full](=) Source: BuffaloBills.com Buffalo Bills WR [John Brown](=) (knee) fully participated in practice Wednesday, Oct. 28. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Good news for the Bills here. The team looks better when Brown's deep speed is on the field. If he plays against the Patriots in Week 8, Brown can be a deep flex play for Fantasy GMs. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 15. [DEN - RB Phillip Lindsay not on field]() Source: Denver7 Sports - Troy Renck Denver Broncos RB [Phillip Lindsay](=) (concussion) is not participating in practice Wednesday, Oct. 28. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Lindsay has to work through the concussion protocol. That means he's going to have to practice and then have no effects from practicing the next day. He's the best back on the Broncos roster and could start against the Chargers on Sunday if he's cleared to play. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 16. [CLE - RB Kareem Hunt limited Wednesday]( Source: ClevelandBrowns.com Cleveland Browns RB [Kareem Hunt](=) (ribs) was a limited participant in practice Wednesday, Oct. 28. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Nick Chubb is returning soon but not this week. Hunt's last chance as the team's lead back might be this week. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 17. [NYJ - WR Jamison Crowder out Wednesday]() Source: NewYorkJets.com New York Jets WR [Jamison Crowder](=) (groin) didn't practice Wednesday, Oct. 28. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] The Jets might be without Crowder again this week. He's about the only receiver we trust in that passing game right now...but we do have a lot of dynasty league love for rookie Denzel Mims. Let's see if Crowder can practice on Friday. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 18. [CLE - TE Austin Hooper remains sidelined]( Source: ClevelandBrowns.com Cleveland Browns TE [Austin Hooper](=) (abdomen) didn't participate in practice Wednesday, Oct. 28. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] The Browns tight ends are a talented bunch, so if Hooper has to miss time QB Baker Mayfield could just go to David Njoku or Harrison Bryant. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 19. [MIA - WR DeVante Parker listed as limited](=) Source: MiamiDolphins.com Miami Dolphins WR [DeVante Parker](=) (groin) was limited during practice Wednesday, Oct. 28. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] The Dolphins are coming out of their bye week and they're taking it easy on Parker. We'll see how he meshes with rookie first-round pick Tua Tagovailoa. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 20. [IND - Michael Pittman designated to return](=) Source: Colts.com - Andrew Walker Indianapolis Colts WR [Michael Pittman](=) Jr. (leg) has been designated to return from the Reserve/Injured list and was cleared to practice Wednesday, Oct. 28. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Many largely ignore the Colts wide receivers - probably due to Philip Rivers. Pittman is a talented rookie we'll be watching now that he's getting close to a return. The team has 21 days to add him to their 53-man roster. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 21. [NYJ - WR Breshad Perriman doesn't practice]() Source: NewYorkJets.com New York Jets WR [Breshad Perriman](=) (concussion) was a non-participant at practice Wednesday, Oct. 28. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Perriman is an oft-injured player and has been bit by the injury bug again this year. He'll have to work through the concussion protocol in order to get on the field against the Chiefs in Week 8. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 22. [SF - RB Tevin Coleman designated to return](=) Source: 49ers.com San Francisco 49ers RB [Tevin Coleman](=) (knee) has been designated to return from the Reserve/Injured list. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] The team will have 21 days to add him to their 53-man roster. We could see Coleman return to the field as soon as this week against the Seahawks. The 49ers are already missing Raheem Mostert and Jeff Wilson due to ankle problems. Coleman could work into the mix with Jerick McKinnon and JaMycal Hasty. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 23. [NE - RB Damien Harris a limited participant]() Source: Patriots.com New England Patriots RB [Damien Harris](=) (ankle) was limited during practice Wednesday, Oct. 28. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] The Patriots will continue their RBBC so that makes Harris a RB3/flex option against the Bills in Week 8. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 24. [PIT - WR Diontae Johnson sits out Wednesday]( Source: Steelers.com - Teresa Varley Pittsburgh Steelers WR [Diontae Johnson](=) (toe) did not participate in practice Wednesday, Oct. 28. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] It's likely just a day of rest here for Johnson. We'll see if he can practice later in the week with an eye on Friday's status.
