49ers WR Deebo Samuel (calf) missed practice Wednesday. 49ers HC Kyle Shanahan is “optimistic he’ll be all right” for Sunday at Chicago.

Related Players: Brandon Aiyuk, Mohamed Sanu

Fantasy Impact:

Bad weather and a slick track did not help Samuel on Monday. Friday's injury report will be the best info we get regarding Samuel's availability.

Lamar Jackson absent from Friday’s open practice portion

Ravens QB Lamar Jackson is not present during media viewing portion of Friday’s practice, which indicates Tyler Huntley will likely start for the second straight week.

Jackson missed every practice this week and hasn’t suited up since spraining his left ankle in a win over the Titans on Oct. 4.

Huntley has won his last three starts as a fill-in starter for Jackson. In those three victories with Huntley, Baltimore has averaged 33.7 points.

Fantasy Impact:

Jackson’s managers should prepare to use another quarterback. Huntley would be a viable superflex QB2 if he starts, with rushing production providing part of his appeal. Flowers remains a WR2 if cleared from his toe injury, while Andrews would be a touchdown-dependent streamer. Henry remains an RB1 regardless of the quarterback decision.

Dontayvion Wicks returns to practice; DeVonta Smith also participating

No Saquon Barkley (hamstring) at practice today. He has missed all week.

DeVonta Smith (hamstring) is practicing again and Dontayvion Wicks (hamstring) returned after missing yesterday.

Fantasy Impact:

Wicks remains a WR3/FLEX possibility if Smith sits and Wicks is cleared for his usual role. A healthy Smith would become Philadelphia’s preferred WR start, with Wicks falling into more volatile WR4/FLEX territory. If both miss, Lemon and Cooper would gain deeper-league appeal, while Goedert would have a stronger TE1 streaming case.

Browns RB Quinshon Judkins returns to practice Friday

The Browns got some big names back at practice today: Carson Schwesinger, Mason Graham, Quinshon Judkins and Derek Barnett.

Not practicing: Mike Hall, Teven Jenkins, Kalia Davis.

Related Players: Dylan Sampson, Jaleel McLaughlin, Audric Estime

Fantasy Impact:

Judkins would remain an RB2 option if cleared for his normal workload, but managers should keep another starter available until his game status is known. If he sits, Sampson’s potential activation would help determine the remaining backfield roles.
