Lions WR Isaac TeSlaa's role "will be expanded"

Sep 11, 2025

Lions OC John Morton on Isaac TeSlaa: "His role will be expanded."

Said he has confidence in TeSlaa's understanding of the offense.

Fantasy Impact:

TeSlaa turned three offensive snaps into an insane late-game touchdown catch, so it's fair to say that he's earned it. We would expect more playing time to come at Kalif Raymond's expense, but it's still too early to consider TeSlaa a fantasy consideration.

Ravens QB Lamar Jackson misses second-straight practice

Ravens QB Lamar Jackson did not practice for a second straight day with a hamstring injury.

Safety Kyle Hamilton (groin) also didn’t practice Thursday after being limited yesterday.

Related Players: Cooper Rush

Fantasy Impact:

All signs are pointing toward a Cooper Rush start versus the Texans defense, and that's not something we'd want to attack in fantasy. Outside of Derrick Henry and Zay Flowers, we should be avoiding the Ravens with Jackson sidelined.

Buccaneers QB Baker Mayfield returns to Thursday practice, Mike Evans, Bucky Irving sidelined

Lots of updates from Bucs practice:

Not practicing: Mike Evans, Bucky Irving, Jamel Dean, Benjamin Morrison, Christian Izien.

Practicing: Baker Mayfield, Tristan Wirfs, Lavonte David, Chris Godwin, Zyon McCollum, Haason Reddick, Tykee Smith, Logan Hall, Greg Gaines, Charlie Heck, Sterling Shepard.

Fantasy Impact:

As Greg said, lots to take in here, but not a ton of surprises.

As it stands, we're not expecting any positive Week 5 news for Irving or Evans, which locks Godwin, Emeka Egbuka, and Rachaad White into fantasy-friendly roles, while Mayfield should be in low-end QB1 consideration unless he experiences a setback.

Vikings QB J.J. McCarthy officially Out Week 5

Carson Wentz will start for the Vikings in London vs. the #Browns on Sunday, per a league source.

Rookie QB J.J. McCarthy still isn’t ready and hasn’t practiced this week. Now officially out.

Fantasy Impact:

This seemed to be the case for a while now, as the Vikings have a Week 6 bye which gives the pseudo-rookie extra time to heal. Consider Wentz a fade this week against a tough Browns pass rush.
