Green Bay Packers wide receivers Jayden Reed (ankle) and Christian Watson (ankle) were both limited in the team's first practice of the week on Wednesday. While Reed and Watson remain on the injury report for another week, neither pass-catcher is in much danger of missing the Week 8 game against the Jacksonville Jaguars on the road. Neither Reed (two catches for 10 yards) nor Watson (one catch for nine yards) were able to do much at all in the Week 7 win over the Houston Texans, but they have a great matchup to bounce back in this weekend. All of Green Bay's receivers can be boom/bust options in fantasy, but Reed warrants a must-start status as the most consistent among Watson, Romeo Doubs and Dontayvion Wicks. Reed is currently the WR5 in half-PPR scoring, while Watson sits at WR73 while playing in only five games.

Seattle Seahawks tight end Noah Fant (knee) was listed as a limited practice participant in the first practice of the week on Wednesday due to a knee injury. It's something to monitor, but as long as Fant doesn't suffer a setback later this week, we feel good about his chances of being active this Sunday versus the Buffalo Bills. The 26-year-old had a team-high four catches for 65 yards in the Week 7 win over the Atlanta Falcons. Fant still has yet to find the end zone this year, but he has a total of 10 catches on 10 targets for 128 yards over the last two weeks. He could be another good bet for sneaky production this weekend against the Bills if receiver DK Metcalf (knee) is unable to play. Even if Metcalf is active on Sunday, Fant should be viewed as a worthwhile TE2 streaming target for fantasy managers.

Kansas City Chiefs WR JuJu Smith-Schuster (hamstring) did not participate in practice Wednesday, Oct. 23.

Fantasy Spin: Smith-Schuster was not able to play in the last game and could sit again if he does not practice this week. He may lose a few targets when he returns since the team added DeAndre Hopkins but can still be a possible flex option.

From TheHuddle

Kansas City Chiefs RB Kareem Hunt (hip) was limited during practice Wednesday, Oct. 23.

Fantasy Spin: Hunt has received at least 20 yards in each of the last two games and has three touchdowns during that span. He will continue to be the main back for the Chiefs and should be a starting option in all leagues.

From TheHuddle

Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III (illness) remains on the injury report for Week 8 and was listed as a non-participant in Wednesday's practice. Walker was questionable with an illness he picked up last weekend but ended up playing in the Week 7 win over the Atlanta Falcons and didn't seem very sick despite playing only 47% of the offensive snaps. The 24-year-old had 14 carries for 69 yards and a touchdown and added two catches for 24 yards and another score. It would be a surprise if Walker isn't able to play in Week 8 against the visiting Buffalo Bills, where he'll be a must-start, high-end RB1 for fantasy managers. Through only five games played in 2024, Walker checks in as the RB8 in half-PPR scoring with 303 rushing yards and six touchdowns and 23 catches for 160 yards and another score. Given his injury-prone ways, though, backup Zach Charbonnet is an excellent handcuff.

New Orleans Saints TE Taysom Hill (rib) was limited during practice Wednesday, Oct. 23.

Fantasy Spin: Hill has missed the last few games because of the injury but seems to have a chance to play this week. He will see a few targets if he cleared to play and could be a No. 1 tight end in some leagues.

From TheHuddle

New Orleans Saints RB Alvin Kamara (hand, rib) was limited during practice Wednesday, Oct. 23.

Fantasy Spin: Kamara has been on the injury report for the last several weeks but should be fine to play in Week 8. He will see plenty of touches during the game and should be a starting option in all leagues.

From TheHuddle

New Orleans Saints WR Cedrick Wilson (hip) was limited during practice Wednesday, Oct. 23.

Fantasy Spin: Wilson reached the end zone in the last game and was targeted seven times in the passing game. He should see a handful of targets this week if he plays and could be a possible flex option in some deeper leagues.

New Orleans Saints OG Nick Saldiveri (shoulder) did not participate in practice Wednesday, Oct. 23. OG Cesar Ruiz (knee), OG Lucas Patrick (chest), LB Pete Werner (hamstring), OG Connor McGovern (back), DT Khalen Saunders (back) and TE Juwan Johnson (shoulder) were limited during practice. CB Marshon Lattimore (hamstring) fully participated in practice.

Tennessee Titans head coach Brian Callahan said that the team will likely give quarterback Will Levis (shoulder) one more week to heal from an AC joint sprain in his right shoulder. Nothing is official as of Wednesday, but the Titans appear to be leaning toward giving Mason Rudolph a second straight start in Week 8 against the Detroit Lions on Sunday. The 25-year-old needs rest more than anything, although he was listed as a limited practice participant on Wednesday. It remains to be seen if he'll be able to make the start next week against the visiting New England Patriots. The second-year signal-caller has completed 66.4% of his pass attempts through five games in 2024 but has made plenty of questionable decisions and has only five touchdowns and seven interceptions. The good news is the Titans continue to say that Levis is their starter when fully healthy.

From RotoBaller

Tennessee Titans running back Tyjae Spears (hamstring) was limited in the team's first practice of the week on Wednesday. Spears missed practice all week and did not suit up for the Week 7 loss against the Buffalo Bills, but his return to practice to kick off the week on Wednesday is a good sign for his potential return this Sunday against the Detroit Lions. There was some thought that Spears would have a bigger share of the backfield workload in 2024 alongside Tony Pollard, but that wasn't really the case in his first five games played. Spears has 33 rushing attempts for 114 yards (3.5 yards per carry) and one touchdown while adding 12 receptions for 76 yards. Spears figures to be the No. 2 behind Pollard as a change of pace if he returns to the field on Sunday, but he'll be nothing more than a low-upside RB3/flex in PPR formats.

From RotoBaller

New Orleans Saints QB Derek Carr (oblique) did not participate in practice Wednesday, Oct. 23.

Fantasy Spin: Carr appears to be on track to miss another game and does not have a timetable for his return. He should be avoided in all fantasy leagues until he participates in a few practices.

From TheHuddle

Tampa Bay Buccaneers rookie running back Bucky Irving (toe) was listed as a non-participant for the team's first practice of the week on Wednesday. The Buccaneers did not actually practice on Wednesday after losing to the Baltimore Ravens on Monday night, so Irving's status was an estimation. We should have a better idea of whether the 22-year-old will be able to play in Week 8 against the division-rival Atlanta Falcons in the next two days. In Rachaad White's return on Monday, Irving played 36% of the offensive snaps to White's 47% and had 12 carries for 77 yards and a touchdown. White had four more touches and scored twice through the air. Irving should remain involved in Tampa's backfield moving forward, giving him RB3/flex appeal on a weekly basis, but Sean Tucker could see more run this Sunday if Irving is limited or out.

Los Angeles Rams rookie wide receiver Jordan Whittington (shoulder) did not practice on Wednesday and was officially ruled out for the team's Thursday night showdown against the Minnesota Vikings. Whittington, a sixth-round pick out of Texas back in April, didn't exactly take advantage of both Cooper Kupp (ankle) and Puka Nacua (knee) being in four games fantasy-wise, as he caught 16 of 21 targets for 179 yards and no touchdowns during that span. Kupp is returning on Thursday night and Nacua could, too, which essentially wrecks the deep-league streaming appeal Whittington might have had. The 24-year-old was active in the Week 7 win over the Las Vegas Raiders but played only nine offensive snaps and will now look to get healthy for a Week 9 contest against the division-rival Seattle Seahawks.

From RotoBaller

Tennessee Titans WR Calvin Ridley (foot) did not participate in practice Wednesday, Oct. 23.

Fantasy Spin: Fantasy players will need to monitor the situation to see if Ridley is in danger of missing the Week 8 game. He is the main option in the passing game for the Titans and should be a starting option in leagues when healthy.

From TheHuddle

Miami Dolphins OT Terron Armstead (non-injury), DT Calais Campbell (non-injury), CB Storm Duck (ankle) and CB Kader Kohou (neck) did not participate in practice Wednesday, Oct. 23. OG Liam Eichenberg (shoulder), S Jevon Holland (hand) and DE Emmanuel Ogbah (biceps) were limited during practice.

From TheHuddle

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers (ankle) did not practice on Wednesday. Flowers picked up the injury in Week 7 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Given his quick and "twitchy" style of play, an ankle injury could seriously dampen Flowers' outlook this week if he is able to suit up. Flowers has been boom or bust in 2024. He has scored at least 19 fantasy points in three games and 11.1 or less points in every other game. The Ravens offense can win through the air and on the ground which has affected Flowers week-to-week. Flowers also now has legitimate target competition with the reemergence of tight end Mark Andrews and the emergence of wide receiver Rashod Bateman as a downfield threat. With the Ravens headed into a Week 8 matchup against the lowly Cleveland Browns, Flowers could have a chance for a nice game. The once-stout Browns defense is now No. 27 against opposing wide receivers in fantasy. Keep an eye on Flowers' status as the week progresses and stash Bateman just in case.

From RotoBaller

Jacksonville Jaguars TE Evan Engram (hamstring) was limited during practice Wednesday, Oct. 23.

Fantasy Spin: Engram is coming off a disappointing Week 7 game but has been targeted 15 times since returning to the lineup. He has a good connection with Trevor Lawrence and should be a No. 1 tight end in most fantasy leagues.

From TheHuddle

Jacksonville Jaguars OT Cam Robinson (concussion) did not participate in practice Wednesday, Oct. 23. DE Arik Armstead (shoulder), DT Esezi Otomewo (calf), LB Foyesade Oluokun (foot) and S Andrew Wingard (knee) were limited during practice.

From TheHuddle

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tyler Huntley (right shoulder) did not practice on Wednesday. Huntley left the Dolphins' Week 7 game against the Indianapolis Colts with the injury. Huntley has filled in for the injured Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) over the Dolphins' last three games. He has thrown for 377 yards, one touchdown, and one interception. The Dolphins offense has stalled without Tagovailoa. Wide receivers Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle (quad) have not provided any fantasy value. While it is unfortunate that Huntley is injured, it does appear that the Dolphins are on track to getting Tagovailoa back in the lineup in Week 8 against the Arizona Cardinals. Fantasy managers should monitor the practice participation of both Huntley and Tagovailoa throughout the week.
