[GB - Questionable tag for RB Aaron Jones](=) Source: Packers.com Green Bay Packers RB [Aaron Jones](=) (calf) was limited during practice Wednesday, Nov. 4, and is listed as questionable for Week 9. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Jones wants to play, and he's pushing to get out there on Thursday against the 49ers. He'll be a game-time decision in Week 9. Dexter Williams and Tyler Ervin would combine in the backfield if Jones is shut down one more week. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 2. [MIA - No practice for RB Myles Gaskin](=) Source: MiamiDolphins.com Updating a previous story, Miami Dolphins RB [Myles Gaskin](=) (knee) didn't practice Wednesday, Nov. 4. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Gaskin is likely to miss three games with this knee injury. That means he could be bound for Injured Reserve while he gets healthy. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 3. [DET - QB Matthew Stafford on COVID list](=) Source: DetroitLions.com Detroit Lions QB [Matthew Stafford](=) was placed on the Reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday, Nov. 4. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Stafford was out of practice on Wednesday, so Chase Daniel and David Blough split time. Daniel could be the starter this week against the Vikings if Stafford can't go. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 4. [CAR - Full practice for RB Christian McCaffrey]() Source: NFL.com Updating a previous report, Carolina Panthers RB [Christian McCaffrey](=) (ankle) was a full participant during practice Wednesday, Nov. 4. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Good news for the Panthers and Fantasy GMs here. McCaffrey was close to playing last week but they held him out for one more contest. The superstar running back should be back this week and into your lineups as an RB1. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 5. [NYG - WR Dante Pettis joining NYG]() Source: ESPN - Adam Schefter Former San Francisco 49ers WR [Dante Pettis](=) was claimed off waivers by the New York Giants Wednesday, Nov. 4, according to a source. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Pettis has talent but he fell out of favor with the 49ers staff. Rumblings of poor practice habits and work ethic swirled around Pettis for the last year or so. We'll see if a fresh start works out for the young receiver. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 6. [IND - TE Trey Burton gets rest day]( Source: Colts.com Indianapolis Colts TE [Trey Burton](=) (non-injury) didn't participate in practice Wednesday, Nov. 4. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Burton played 39 snaps in Week 8 against the Lions. Expect him to get a rest day on Wednesday but practice later in the week. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 7. [BUF - No practice for WR John Brown](=) Source: BuffaloBills.com Buffalo Bills WR [John Brown](=) (knee) did not participate in practice Wednesday, Nov. 4. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] It's likely a day of rest for Brown here. He played 47 snaps but was only targeted two times in Week 8 against the Patriots. Brown should practice by Friday and the team should try to get him more involved going forward. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 8. [PIT - QB Ben Roethlisberger sits out](=) Source: Steelers.com - Teresa Varley Pittsburgh Steelers QB [Ben Roethlisberger](=) (non-injury) did not participate in practice Wednesday, Nov. 4. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] It's Wednesday, so that's the standard day of rest for the veteran quarterback. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 9. [SF - RB Tevin Coleman to miss Week 9]() Source: 49ers.com San Francisco 49ers RB [Tevin Coleman](=) (knee) did not participate in practice Wednesday, Nov. 4, and has been ruled out for Week 9. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] JaMycal Hasty and Jerick McKinnon will work in a RBBC for the 49ers on Thursday night against the Packers. We see Hasty as a RB3/flex play and McKinnon as a deep flex play in PPR leagues. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 10. [TB - Scotty Miller limited Wednesday]() Source: NewOrleansSaints.com Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR [Scott Miller](=) (hip, groin) was limited at practice Wednesday, Nov. 4. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Miller caught 3-of-6 targets for 35 yards in the Bucs' Week 8 win over the Giants. We'll see what happens to his role with Antonio Brown set to make his Buccaneers debut in Week 9. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 11. [BAL - RB Mark Ingram not on the field]() Source: BaltimoreRavens.com Baltimore Ravens RB [Mark Ingram](=) (ankle) did not participate in practice Wednesday, Nov. 4. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] It's the middle of the week and that's a rest day for veterans or players who are a little banged up. Ingram has not played since Week 6 against the Eagles. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 12. [SF - WR Kendrick Bourne tests positive]() Source: ESPN - Adam Schefter San Francisco 49ers WR [Kendrick Bourne](=) (illness) tested positive for COVID-19 Wednesday, Nov. 4. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] The 49ers just can't catch a break. Bourne caught 8-of-10 targets for 81 yards in the 49ers' Week 8 loss to the Seahawks. Now, he's going to miss the Thursday night game against the Packers. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 13. [DET - WR Kenny Golladay misses practice]() Source: DetroitLions.com Detroit Lions WR [Kenny Golladay](=) (hip) was a non-participant at practice Wednesday, Nov. 4. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Golladay was already ruled out according to reports. That's not a good sign for his status going forward. The Lions move forward without him in Week 9, but we'll see what Golladay can do next week in practice. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 14. [ATL - WR Calvin Ridley does not practice](=) Source: AtlantaFalcons.com - Will McFadden Atlanta Falcons WR [Calvin Ridley](=) (foot) did not participate in practice Wednesday, Nov. 4. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Ridley has a mid-foot sprain. The Falcons are hopeful that he won't have to be out of action too long. Monitor his practice status later in the week. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 15. [NE - Pats bring two on to practice squad]() Source: ESPN - Adam Schefter Free-agent DL Ryan Glasgow (Texans) and WR Donte Moncrief (Patriots) were signed to the practice squad of the New England Patriots Wednesday, Nov. 4. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Moncrief's career has taken a sharp downturn. He couldn't make the Jets final roster earlier this summer but the Patriots are desperate for wide receiver help. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 16. [TB - WR Chris Godwin limited at practice]() Source: NewOrleansSaints.com Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR [Chris Godwin](=) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday, Nov. 4. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Godwin should be back in action this week. Watch his status at the end of the week. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 17. [KC - WR Sammy Watkins a limited participant](=) Source: Chiefs.com Kansas City Chiefs WR [Sammy Watkins](=) (hamstring) was limited during practice Wednesday, Nov. 4. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Watkins hasn't played since Week 5 against the Raiders. He's working his way back but we won't know about his status until later in the week. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 18. [CLE - WR Odell Beckham scheduled for surgery]() Source: Akron Beacon Journal - Nate Ulrich Cleveland Browns WR [Odell Beckham](=) Jr. (knee) is scheduled to undergo surgery next week to repair his anterior cruciate ligament. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Beckham was put on season-ending Injured Reserve on October 26th. He should return to the Browns in 2021 unless he's traded away. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 19. [DAL - Limited practice for RB Ezekiel Elliott](=) Source: DallasCowboys.com Dallas Cowboys RB [Ezekiel Elliott](=) (hamstring) was limited during practice Wednesday, Nov. 4. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] The Cowboys are being safe with their superstar running back. Let's see what he can do on Friday's practice. The quarterback situation means all Cowboys players should be downgraded from a fantasy perspective. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 20. [CHI - QB Mitchell Trubisky dealing with injury]() Source: NFL Network - Mike Garafolo Chicago Bears QB [Mitchell Trubisky](=) (shoulder) suffered a shoulder injury during the Week 8 game and is being evaluated, according to sources. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Trubisky was on the field for one snap against the Saints in Week 8. He ran the ball for three yards and got banged up. We'll see what he can do in practice later in the week. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 21. [MIA - RB Matt Breida doesn't practice Wednesday](=) Source: MiamiDolphins.com Miami Dolphins RB [Matt Breida](=) (hamstring) didn't participate in practice Wednesday, Nov. 4. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Breida and Jordan Howard will split time in the Dolphins backfield without Myles Gaskin (knee) for a few weeks. We'll see if Breida can get out there later in the week. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 22. [NO - WR Michael Thomas gets in limited practice]() Source: NewOrleansSaints.com New Orleans Saints WR [Michael Thomas](=) (ankle/hamstring) was limited at practice Wednesday, Nov. 4. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] The Saints had Thomas practice last week but he did not play. Practicing on Wednesday is a good sign for his availability this week against the Buccaneers. Fantasy GMs should look at Thomas as a WR1 when he returns. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 23. [IND - Jonathan Taylor limited at practice]( Source: Colts.com Indianapolis Colts RB [Jonathan Taylor](=) (ankle) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday, Nov. 4. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Taylor was a huge disappointment last week as Jordan Wilkins and Nyheim Hines looked better in the backfield. We'll see if he can work his way into a larger role against the Ravens in Week 9. Taylor is a RB3/deep flex for Fantasy GMs. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- That'll do it for today, Folks.
