Pats WR Danny Amendola activated

Sep 03, 2016

Danny Amendola was not placed on the reserve/PUP list. He'll begin the year on the active roster.

Fantasy Impact:

The Keshawn Martin cut was the most surprising, which we reported earlier today. The team must be confident that Amendola and Malcolm Mitchell will be ready to play soon, the story said. Amendola hasn't practiced all summer.

Saints WR Michael Thomas (ankle/hamstring) limited Wednesday

yesterday · 6:23 PM EDT

The Saints listed star wide receiver Michael Thomas as a limited participant in Wednesday's practice due to ankle and hamstring issues.

Fantasy Impact:

The concerning part of this news is the Saints listing Thomas as having picked up a hamstring injury. Thomas was set to return from his high-ankle sprain this week after being suspended in Week 6, but the new injury designation throws his status for the week into flux. The fact that Thomas still was able to participate in some fashion means he has a good chance to play, but hamstring issues are always tricky for receivers. Check back on Thursday to see if we get an update on Thomas's health.

Packers TE Robert Tonyan (ankle) misses practice Wednesday

Green Bay Packers

Packers tight end Robert Tonyan missed Wednesday's practice due to an ankle injury he suffered in Week 6.

Fantasy Impact:

Tonyan briefly left last week's game before returning but did not do much after the injury. The fact that Tonyan was able to finish Week 6 suggests today may be a rest/maintenance day for the tight end and he will practice later in the week. Check back Thursday for an update on his status.

Titans TE Jonnu Smith (ankle) gets in limited practice

Tennessee Titans

yesterday · 5:26 PM EDT

Titans TE Jonnu Smith was able to practice in a limited fashion Wednesday after injuring his ankle in Week 6.

Fantasy Impact:

Smith had settled in as a solid TE1 before the injury as an explosive athlete after the catch getting targets from a red-hot Ryan Tannehill. Getting in a limited Wednesday practice is a promising sign that Smith should play this weekend against Pittsburgh. Whether he will be 100% is another question, and the Steelers defense has been one of the best in the league to this point. If Smith is active he should be started, but be warned he carries more risk than usual this week.
