Kyle Monangai ruled out for Thursday Night Football

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.

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.

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

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

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.
