Buccaneers will start Ryan Fitzpatrick in Week 11

Eagles WR A.J. Brown told ESPN that he does expect to miss a couple of weeks due to the hamstring injury he suffered Friday.

Owners can expect him to now be out for Week 4, which makes some sense with the Eagles bye week coming in Week 5. The hope is Brown is back for Week 6, which is an early game against the Browns at home. Smith should be the team's WR1 with Brown out and newly acquired Dotson should start to see more reps. Wilson is a rookie who really stood out this summer and could end up seeing some snaps as well.

Saints tight end Taysom Hill had to go to the hospital after suffering a chest injury during Sunday’s win in Dallas, but head coach Dennis Allen provided a positive update on his condition on Monday.

Hill flew back to New Orleans with the team and Allen said Hill went for more tests on Monday, but the team believes he’s avoided a major injury.

“He’s doing good. He feels good. I don’t know if we’ve gotten all the results back on him. He went and got some more imaging today. I think we avoided anything real serious,” Allen said, via Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com.

Allen said Hill, who had one catch on Sunday, that he will “be in the rehab process” during the practice week and further word on his status should come later in the week, according to the rest of the story.

49ers coach Kyle Shanahan told reporters that WR Deebo Samuel has a calf strain and will miss a few weeks. Another star injury for the Niners.

It's a big blow to the Niners offense, which is already without Christian McCaffrey for an extended time. There was no mention on whether or not Deebo could end up on IR. Aiyuk should take over as the team's WR1, but who takes over as the WR2 is the bigger question. Kittle is likely next up after Aiyuk, which then leaves Jennings, Bell, Conley and Cowing at WR. Jennings is probably the leading candidate, but probably won't be a safe play in typical leagues. Cowing is a rookie who has stood out over the spring and summer and has been returning kicks, so it's possible he earns a bigger role with Deebo out.
