Schefter: Patriots TE Rob Gronkowski 'not expected to play' tonight

Oct 05, 2017

Patriots’ TE Rob Gronkowski is not expected to play tonight vs Bucs, per source.

Fantasy Impact:

We'll know for certain once inactives are released at around 7 pm ET. Gronk's absence will boost the outlook of Brandin Cooks, Chris Hogan and Danny Amendola, and Dwayne Allen figures to be more involved in the offense than he has been thus far this season. Jacob Hollister would serve as the No. 2 tight end. Last year, Martellus Bennett was actually more productive with Gronk in the lineup, so don't expect any miracles out of Allen.

Bears RB D'Andre Swift, TE Cole Kmet return to practice in full on Thursday

Kevin Fishbain

yesterday · 4:22 PM EST

Bears injury report...

DNP: T.J. Edwards, Josh Blackwell, Dominique Robinson, Joe Thuney (rest)

Limited: Kevin Byard, Roschon Johnson, D.J. Moore, Rome Odunze

Full: Luther Burden, Cole Kmet, Kyle Monangai, D'Andre Swift, Amen Ogbongbemiga

Related Players: Kyle Monangai, Colston Loveland

Fantasy Impact:

The Bears will have quite the decision(s) on their hands if Swift and Kmet are available for Week 10.

Monangai has looked absolutely fantastic, while Loveland just had a game-winning, 58-yard touchdown reception. Chicago probably can't put the genie back in the bottle with Loveland, who should be considered a top-15 TE option, while both Swift and Monagai could both be low-end RB2 options if the veteran really is back to full health.

Jaguars WR Brian Thomas Jr. misses Thursday practice

Not at #Jaguars practice:

WR Brian Thomas Jr. (ankle)

CB Jourdan Lewis (neck)

TE Hunter Long (hip/back)

OL Ezra Cleveland (knee/ankle)

WR Dyami Brown (concussion protocol) was *not* in an orange penny

Dennis Gardeck (chest) was.

Related Players: Jakobi Meyers, Parker Washington, Dyami Brown

Fantasy Impact:

Jakobi Meyers could be thrust into a larger role than we would have assumed after just a few days with the team.

If Thomas ends up missing Week 10, both Meyers and Washington could end up being desperation WR4 options, but against the Texans, you should hopefully have better options at your disposal.

Jets WR Garrett Wilson "good to go" for Week 10

Garrett Wilson (knee) says he feels great and he’s good to go for Sunday.

Related Players: Tyler Johnson, Adonai Mitchell, Allen Lazard

Fantasy Impact:

There aren't many Jets options we should be able to trust in Week 10 —or beyond— but Wilson is certainly one of them if he suits up. It's a tough matchup, but he can still be considered in the WR3 range.
