A.J. Brown and TreVeyon Henderson cleared for Thursday night

Oct 21, 2026

A.J. Brown and TreVeyon Henderson practiced fully Wednesday and carry no injury designation against Chicago. New England will be without starting guards Alijah Vera-Tucker and Ben Brown.

Fantasy Impact:

Brown can be started as a WR2, with an opportunity to command targets in a receiving room missing Romeo Doubs. Douglas remains a deeper PPR FLEX, while Henry is a viable TE1. Stevenson remains the preferred Patriots RB as an RB2. Henderson’s clearance makes him available as a deeper FLEX, but managers should avoid assuming his workload will immediately return to its pre-injury level. Maye remains a QB1 despite the offensive line absences.

Kyle Monangai ruled out for Thursday Night Football

Bears

0 minutes ago

Chicago ruled Kyle Monangai out against New England with thumb and toe injuries. He will miss his third consecutive game. Starting guard Jonah Jackson practiced fully Wednesday and carries no injury designation.

Related Players: D'Andre Swift, Roschon Johnson, Caleb Williams

Fantasy Impact:

Swift is a low-end RB1 with Monangai unavailable and a clearer path to controlling Chicago’s backfield touches. Johnson is a deep-league FLEX possibility, but his opportunity remains dependent on how much work Chicago gives him behind Swift.

Breece Hall to miss Wednesday practice; Week 7 return still possible

Al Iannazzone

Breece Hall won’t practice today but Glenn isn’t ruling him out this week.

Related Players: Isaiah Davis, Geno Smith

Fantasy Impact:

Allen remains a strong RB2 option if Hall misses another game. A Hall return would reduce Allen’s workload and make him a more conditional FLEX, although Glenn’s comments support keeping him rostered. Hall would enter RB2 consideration if cleared for substantial work, but managers should wait for practice progress and guidance on his workload.

Browns optimistic Quinshon Judkins and Dylan Sampson can play Sunday

Browns coach Todd Monken said he is optimistic RBs Quinshon Judkins and Dylan Sampson will be able to play on Sunday against the Titans.

Related Players: Jaleel McLaughlin, Audric Estime, Deshaun Watson

Fantasy Impact:

Judkins would return to RB2 consideration if cleared for his usual workload. Sampson is worth holding in an IR slot, but his activation and role need confirmation before managers consider starting him. Getting both backs back would make McLaughlin and Estime difficult to use outside incredibly deep leagues.
