Michael Carter (ankle) won't practice today, but Saleh still hopeful for Sunday.

Related players: Zonovan Knight, Ty Johnson, James Robinson

Carter is dealing with an ankle sprain and despite not going in practice today, the team thinks he still has a shot to play against the Vikings in an early Sunday game. If Carter can't go, Knight likely sees a decent workload and is a popular name on the waiver wire right now. Knight would seem to still have a role even if Carter plays.

Jets running back Michael Carter left Sunday’s win over the Bears with an ankle injury, but the team isn’t ruling him out of their Week 13 trip to Minnesota at this point.

Head coach Robert Saleh said at his Monday press conference that Carter suffered a low ankle sprain. He added that the team sees him as day-to-day with a chance to play against the Vikings.

Carter has been the lead back for the Jets since Breece Hall tore his ACL, but the team’s other options had a good showing against the Bears. Rookie Knight ran for 69 yards and caught three passes for 34 yards while Johnson ran for a 32-yard touchdown. Robinson was inactive for that game, but could find his way back into the mix if Carter isn’t able to go this weekend, the story said. This could end up being a muddy situation fantasy-wise, especially if Carter plays but isn't 100 %. Hopefully we can learn more leading up to the game.

Bears receiver Darnell Mooney is out for the remainder of the season with an ankle injury he suffered in Sunday’s loss to the Jets, coach Matt Eberflus said Monday.

Related Players: Chase Claypool, Dante Pettis, Byron Pringle

Chase Claypool should get the most run with Mooney's absence considering they just made a move for him but the modest target share could be spread around the team's mediocre fantasy options. It's possible rookie Velus Jones gets more run as the season wraps up.

RB Michael Carter (ankle) is day-to-day. Head coach Robert Saleh said he'll have more info on Wednesday.

Ty Johnson and Zonovan Knight split the load in a blowout win over the Bears, but they may have a third back in the rotation if Carter were to miss the entire game. It's too early in the week to make a broad call on the backfield but either back could make an interesting flier if we hear bad news about Carter's ankle later this week.

Broncos RB Chase Edmonds is expected to miss multiple weeks with a high ankle sprain suffered in Sunday’s loss to the Raiders.

Directly —and I mean directly— following news of the team's release of Melvin Gordon comes the news that Edmonds will be out for multiple weeks. The Broncos' depth chart is now headlined by 2019 fantasy superstars Marlon Mack and Latavius Murray.

The Broncos make a move following Sunday’s loss, as Denver has waived veteran RB Melvin Gordon. A respected player who spent three years with the Broncos, Gordon’s fumbles proved too much. A fresh start for all parties.

Related Players: Chase Edmonds, Latavius Murray

Gordon had already been on thin ice, as evidenced by the team's recent trade for Chase Edmonds. Latavius Murray —who went for 49 yards and a touchdown on 17 carries Sunday— would be the clubhouse favorite to become the new lead back, as Edmonds could operate as the change-of-pace back, depending on the severity of his lower leg injury. Marlon Mack is also currently on the active roster, with Devine Ozigbo on the practice squad.

Quarterback Josh Allen will be listed as limited.

As we reported Tuesday, Allen didn't make the injury worse playing in Week 10 and it's safe to assume he'll be back on the field for Week 11. HC Sean McDermott said the team will continue the regimen from last week and will evaluate him each day and determine his practice load.

The Chicago Bears are placing running back Khalil Herbert on injured reserve, according to ESPN’s Field Yates.

Related players: David Montgomery, Trestan Ebner, Darrynton Evans, Justin Fields

Herbert suffered a hip injury in Sunday’s loss to the Detroit Lions. With Herbert landing on IR, he’ll have to miss the next four games. He’s eligible to return in Week 16 against the Buffalo Bills, the story said - which is smack in the middle of the fantasy playoffs. Look for Montgomery to get an increased workload with Ebner and Evans battling for carries behind Monty. Of course Fields has been leading the way on the ground over the past several weeks.
