[GB - WR Davante Adams off COVID list](=) Source: ProFootballTalk.com - Josh Alper Green Bay Packers WR [Davante Adams](=) on Thursday, Nov. 4, was removed from the Reserve/COVID-19 list and was back at the team's facility. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Adams will be out there against the Chiefs, but it will be Jordan Love starting at quarterback. Love is raw, but he should know to target Adams early and often in Week 9. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 2. [CLE - WR Odell Beckham Jr. excused again]() Source: NFL Network - Mike Garafolo Cleveland Browns WR [Odell Beckham](=) Jr. is excused from practice again Thursday, Nov. 4. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Reports indicate that Beckham isn't part of the team going forward. We'll see what comes of this. There's a chance Beckham is shut down, doesn't get dumped, and just is away from the team in 2021. Stay tuned. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 3. [JAX - RB James Robinson a no-go Thursday]() Source: SiriusXM NFL Radio - Adam Caplan Jacksonville Jaguars RB [James Robinson](=) (heel) did not participate in practice for a second consecutive day Thursday, Nov. 4. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Friday is the big day for Robinson. If he can't play, then Carlos Hyde is going to get a big workload, flex worthy, against the Bills on Sunday. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 4. [CHI - RB David Montgomery designated to return]() Source: NFL Network - Tom Pelissero Chicago Bears RB [David Montgomery](=) (knee) was designated THursday, Nov. 4, to return to practice, opening a three-week window to activate him from the Reserve/Injured list. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] We'll see how quickly the Bears activate him from the IR list. They face the Steelers on Monday night in Week 9, and rookie Khalil Herbert has been playing good football. When Montgomery returns, Herbert is still likely to have some role because he has proven he needs to get the rock. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 5. [MIN - More work for RB Dalvin Cook?]( Source: St. Paul Pioneer Press - Chris Tomasson Minnesota Vikings RB [Dalvin Cook](=) needs to be more involved in the team's offense, offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak said Thursday, Nov. 4. 'We've got to give him more opportunities moving forward,' Kubiak told reporters. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] More Cook sounds like a good thing, especially for Fantasy GMs. Cook is a must-start every week and using him more can settle down the offense. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 6. [ARI - WR DeAndre Hopkins out Thursday]() Source: AZCardinals.com - Darren Urban Arizona Cardinals WR [DeAndre Hopkins](=) (hamstring) was not seen at practice Thursday, Nov. 4. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Let's see what Hopkins can do on Friday. We also have to see if Kyler Murray is going to play. Cardinals head coach Kliff Kingsbury says Murray does not need to practice in order to play in Week 9.

[DAL - QB Dak Prescott to practice in full](=) Source: ProFootballTalk.com - Michael David Smith Dallas Cowboys QB [Dak Prescott](=) (calf) will be a full practice participant Thursday, Nov. 4, according to head coach Mike McCarthy, with the expectation that he will start Sunday against the Denver Broncos. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Prescott should be good to go against the Broncos on Sunday. The Denver defense is not good, and their secondary - highest paid in the league - is the weak spot. They also traded away Von Miller, so Denver may not be able to get much pressure on Prescott. If he plays, Prescott could finish the week as the best fantasy quarterback of the week. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 8. [BAL - WR Sammy Watkins back at practice](=) Source: ProFootballTalk.com - Josh Alper Baltimore Ravens WR [Sammy Watkins](=) (thigh) on Thursday, Nov. 4, returned to practice, according to mutiple reports. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] We'll see if there are any setbacks from Watkins practicing on Thursday. If he practices Friday then he'll be good for Sunday's game against the Vikings. That makes Watkins a 'what the heck' flex option for Fantasy GMs in Week 9. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 9. [DAL - Ankle issue limits WR CeeDee Lamb](=) Source: ProFootballTalk.com - Michael David Smith Dallas Cowboys WR [CeeDee Lamb](=) (ankle) was limited Thursday, Nov. 4, in practice by an ankle injury he suffered the previous day. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Check back to see what Lamb can do on Friday. He should be able to feast on a Broncos secondary that is not very good. If he plays, Lamb has WR1 upside and you will likely start him as a WR2. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 10. [HOU - QB Tyrod Taylor back as starter Sunday]( Source: NFL.com - Kevin Patra Houston Texans QB [Tyrod Taylor](=) will start Sunday, Nov. 7, against the Miami Dolphins, head coach David Culley announced Thursday. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Just as Culley promised. Rookie Davis Mills has been decent, and he's getting valuable experience but now he's back to the bench. The Texans aren't going anywhere, so going back to Mills at some point - to get him more experience - would make sense. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 11. [SF - RB Jeff Wilson Jr. officially back at practice]() Source: 49ers.com San Francisco 49ers RB Jeff Wilson Jr. was designated to return from the Reserve/Injured list on Wednesday, Nov. 3. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] This opens a 21-day window for the 49ers to activate Wilson to the active roster. When he returns, Wilson should split time and get touches with/behind Eli Mitchell. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- That'll do it for today, Folks.
