Team news: Buffalo Bills | Page 1

Bills HC Sean McDermott says they are opening up the 21-day practice windows for TE Dawson Knox and CB Kaiir Elam, who are both on Injured Reserve.

As to whether or not either would play, McDermott preemptively said "We'll take it one day at a time."

Still sounds like it's up in the air when we'll see Knox back on the football field, and it wouldn't be unheard of if they take it easy as they aim for a playoff spot. Kincaid has been fantastic in Knox's absence, sitting at a 56-474-2 stat line; a great achievement for any rookie tight end.

Steelers’ HC Mike Tomlin said QB Kenny Pickett underwent surgery on his high ankle sprain this morning and is out Thursday night vs. the Patriots.

The Steelers are hoping to have Pickett back at some point and still being in the playoff race when he's back in action. Initial reports said Pickett could miss 2-4 weeks, but the team hasn't updated that timetable following Sunday's loss and the surgery. Trubisky will get the start, but seems to have a tough task ahead of him with the New England defense on a short week.

Injury report for tomorrow’s Jets-Dolphins game. De’Von Achane questionable. Mekhi Becton also questionable but listed as a DNP projection today.

Related Players: Raheem Mostert, Jeff Wilson

As it stands, it is more than likely going to be the Mostert/Wilson show once again, but things could certainly change by tomorrow. As it stands, Mostert is a borderline RB1/2, while Wilson would return to FLEX consideration.

Dolphins HC Mike McDaniel says nothing final yet but is “very optimistic” about RB De’Von Achane playing Sunday vs. Raiders.

Guard Robert Hunt is ruled OUT. McDaniel said it’d be “pretty risky” to play Sunday.

Chase Claypool had a minor knee procedure over the bye week. He’s week-to-week.

If Achane is cleared for Sunday, you absolutely have to get him in your lineup as an explosive RB1 option. Still, Mostert can be used as well, even in the same lineup.

Bills QB Josh Allen (right shoulder) and WR Stefon Diggs (back) are off the injury report and do not have game designations for Monday against the Broncos.

Allen was a full participant in practice all week while Diggs was limited Friday and Saturday, though that seemed more like the Bills just being cautious with their star wide receiver this week. Both are in good positions for fantasy this week, especially Diggs, our No. 1 wide receiver this week.

Stefon Diggs added to the Bills’ injury report. Limited today with a back injury. They play Monday, so his game status won’t be listed until tomorrow.

Related Players: Gabe Davis, Khalil Shakir, Trent Sherfield, Deonte Harty

It would be a bummer if he were to miss this game ahead of a cushy matchup against the Broncos' defense. If he's out, both Gabe Davis and Khalil Shakir should be thrust into respective WR2 and WR3 considerations.

Bills HC Sean McDermott says QB Josh Allen will practice on Thursday.

Related Players: Kyle Allen

Last week Allen didn't practice on Wednesday [first full practice of the week]. In Week 10, he'll get a Denver Broncos defense that ranks 26th in QB aFPA.

The Bears are expected to be without QB Justin Fields and RB Khalil Herbert

Related Players: D'Onta Foreman, Roschon Johnson, Darrynton Evans

Foreman handled the load last week, turning 20 rushes into a workman-like 83 yards. We should expect more of that usage Thursday night, though the offense as a whole has a capped ceiling with Tyson Bagent at the helm. Foreman is in FLEX consideration for Week 10.

Commanders ruled out WR Curtis Samuel for Sunday’s game at New England due to a toe injury.

Related Players: Jamison Crowder

Crowder should get the immediate boost in production, particularly after he turned his seven targets into a 7-95-1 line last week. He is still a desperation play.
