[[youtube]​]()[[podcast]​]([[spotify]​](=) [​]() ​ [] 1. NYG: Daniel Jones limited Thursday [Source: Giants.com - Dan Salomone]() New York Giants QB Daniel Jones (neck) will be a limited participant at practice Thursday, Oct. 26. He is still not cleared for contact. Our view: Jones has been limited in practice for over a week, but he's not been cleared for contact. That means we could be seeing more QB Tyrod Taylor out there as the starter for the Giants as they face the Jets in Week 8. [Back to Top](#top) [] 2. CHI: Justin Fields remains sidelined [Source: ChicagoBears.com](=) Chicago Bears QB Justin Fields (thumb) did not participate in practice Thursday, Oct. 26. Our view: Looks like we'll see another week of Tyson Bagent at QB. [Back to Top](#top) = = ​ [] 3. NE: Pats leaning on Kendrick Bourne [Source: ESPN.com]( New England Patriots WR Kendrick Bourne has 16 catches in the last two games after recording 18 receptions over the first five contests. Our view: Bourne has been good for Fantasy GMs over the last couple of weeks. So long as QB Mac Jones is slinging the rock, Bourne has flex appeal on a weekly basis. [Back to Top](#top) [] 4. MIA: Limited practice for Jaylen Waddle [Source: Pro Football Network - Adam Beasley]( Miami Dolphins WR Jaylen Waddle (back) was limited during practice Thursday, Oct. 26. Our view: Like with Tyreek Hill, let's see what he can do Friday. [Back to Top](#top) [] 5. MIA: Tyreek Hill spotted at practice on Thursday [Source: Around The NFL](=) Miami Dolphins WR Tyreek Hill (hip) returned to practice on Thursday, Oct. 26. Our view: Let's watch this Hill situation. He's bothered by a hip injury, but it's a good sign that he's out there on Thursday. He was officially limited on Thursday. We'll see if Hill can be a full participant on Friday. [Back to Top](#top) [] 6. DET: David Montgomery likely sidelined until Week 10 [Source: Detroit Free Press - Dave Birkett]() Detroit Lions RB David Montgomery (ribs) 'continues to improve' as he attempts to return from the rib injury he suffered in Week 6, according to head coach Dan Campbell. However, Montgomery will not practice on Thursday, Oct. 26. Our view: Montgomery is not practicing on Thursday as the Lions prepare to face the Raiders on Monday night in Week 8. He's got more time to recover, and that means rookie RB Jahmyr Gibbs has RB2 with upside value for Fantasy GMs out there. [Back to Top](#top) [] 7. LAC: Mike Williams has surgery [Source: NFL Network - Ian Rapoport](=) Los Angeles Chargers WR Mike Williams (knee) had successful surgery to repair his torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee Wednesday, Oct. 25, and will be ready for training camp. Our view: Williams has been out of action for about a month, and now his road to recovery begins. We'll see him next year in camp, and Williams should be good to go for Week 1 of the 2024 season. Now, we'll have to see if the Chargers keep him around for next season as Williams has a $32.4 million cap hit with "only" $12.4 million in dead money. [Back to Top](#top) [] 8. BUF: Dawson Knox an IR candidate [Source: NFL Network - Ian Rapoport](=) Buffalo Bills TE Dawson Knox (wrist) is expected to be placed on the Reserve/Injured list after undergoing wrist surgery, according to sources Thursday, Oct. 26. Our view: The Bills will likely shut down Knox for at least the next four weeks as he recovers from wrist surgery. This opens a huge window of opportunity for rookie TE Dalton Kincaid. He's a weapon who can be tough to match up against. One could easily make the argument that Kincaid is the no.2 pass-catching weapon behind WR Stefon Diggs. [Back to Top](#top) The best things sent in the Footballguys Group Chat today: - 😰 The most difficult part of playing in the NFL? [Taking the pads off.](=)​ - 😂 Mike Tomlin is a national treasure and [should be protected at all costs.](=)​ - 🐐 Travis Hunter and Shedeur Sanders were [hyped to meet The Goat.](=)​ - 😳 Make sure to check your candy. Some of the [trades we are finding are frightening.]()​ - 🤝 Travis Kelce had some solid advice for this [rookie after the game.](=)​ ​ [] 9. CLE: Elijah Moore lacking big plays [Source: ESPN.com]( Cleveland Browns WR Elijah Moore's 226 receiving yards and 9.0 yards per reception are both the second-lowest among receivers 40 or more receptions this season. Our view: Moore is an explosive player, but the Browns are not finding the best way to have that come through on the field. With QB PJ Walker out there starting again, Moore can only be considered a 'what the heck' flex for Fantasy GMs. [Back to Top](#top) [] 10. TEN: DeAndre Hopkins limited Thursday [Source: TennesseeTitans.com - Jim Wyatt]( Tennessee Titans WR DeAndre Hopkins (rest) was limited in practice for the second straight day on Thursday, Oct. 26. Our view: Hopkins is a veteran so we're not concerned yet. Let's see if he's able to work Friday. [Back to Top](#top) [] 11. NE: Jalen Reagor signed to active roster [Source: NFL Network - Ian Rapoport](=) New England Patriots WR Jalen Reagor was signed from the practice squad to the active roster Thursday, Oct. 26. Our view: The former first-round pick (2020, Eagles) has impressed the staff behind the scenes in New England. Now, it's time (past time) to show it on the field. We're not counting on Reagor to do much. Last week he had a catch for 11 yards on 25 snaps. We like what WRs Kendrick Bourne and Demario Douglas are doing much more than what Reagor has shown so far with the Patriots. [Back to Top](#top) [] 12. NYG: Jalin Hyatt starting to find a rhythm? [Source: ESPN.com - Jordan Raanan]() New York Giants WR Jalin Hyatt has logged nine of his 14 targets this season in the last two games, and four of his nine catches this year have gone for 30 or more yards. Our view: Let's put a pin in this and see if the trend continues. Having QB Tyrod Taylor out there has shown things could be different for the pecking order in the wide receiver room. We'll continue to watch for the chemistry building between QB Daniel Jones and Hyatt. Jones has missed the last two games due to a neck injury (and these are the games where Hyatt has been standing out). [Back to Top](#top) [] 13. CLE: Deshaun Watson shoulder still a concern [Source: NFL Network - Andrew Siciliano]() Cleveland Browns QB Deshaun Watson (shoulder) is still concerned about his shoulder injury after failing to make it through the Week 7 game against the Indianapolis Colts. 'I thought I was ready, I wasn't ready,' Watson told reporters Thursday, Oct. 26. Our view: Watson knows his body better than anyone, and even though he's been cleared since Week 4 we haven't seen much from him this season. He's out in Week 8, so PJ Walker gets another start for the Browns. [Back to Top](#top) [] 14. LVR: Jimmy Garoppolo back to work on Thursday [Source: Around The NFL](=) Las Vegas Raiders QB Jimmy Garoppolo (back) returned to practice on Thursday, Oct. 26. Our view: The Raiders play on Monday night against the Lions in Week 8. That makes Saturday the most important day of practice for Garoppolo. His missed time meant Brian Hoyer was starting, but Garoppolo might be back out there on Monday. [Back to Top](#top) [] 15. WAS: Chris Rodriguez Jr. to be more involved? [Source: ESPN.com - John Keim]() Washington Commanders RB Chris Rodriguez Jr. 'should continue to see more work' moving forward, according to John Keim of ESPN.com. Our view: This headline has Brian Robinson's Fantasy GMs nervous. As the rookie Rodriguez gets more involved, Robinson will lose touches. In Week 8 against the Eagles, Rodriguez is a 'what the heck' flex. Let's see if his workload continues to increase. [Back to Top](#top) That'll do it for today, Folks.
