Team news: Carolina Panthers | Page 7

Everyone wants to know about Jameson Williams. Dan Campbell just said "we feel like he's really coming on" and Detroit believes he'll play this season.

Campbell added, "When he's ready, we'll get him up and ready to go." There isn't a more specific timetable at this point, so those stashing him could still be waiting a while. When he does play, he could jump right in and be a WR3 option for the Lions.

Nathaniel Hackett said moving forward they’ll need all 3 RBs.

Hackett totally avoided answering a question about why Gordon got limited time in the first half and no snaps in the second half, the tweet said. Fantasy owners would like to know as well. Hackett went on to say they didn’t have many plays in the second half and he thought Murray ran well. Obviously, Gordon can't be trusted heading into Week 7. It will be interesting to see how the Broncos address their running game. But with an injured Russell Wilson at QB and a lackluster offense, they have bigger problems.

Two-time Pro Bowler Melvin Gordon logged only eight snaps -- none past the second quarter -- in Denver's 19-16 overtime loss and had only three official carries for eight yards after an apparent demotion to third choice in the Broncos' backfield.

"I'm not gonna lie. It hurt a little today watching," Gordon told NFL Network's Bridget Condon following the loss.

The Broncos decided to ride Murray and Boone after benching Gordon, likely leaving fantasy owners in just as much shock as Gordon himself. Obviously this will be something to follow in the coming days. Gordon won't be able to be trusted even if he's active for Week 7. Meanwhile, Murray looked pretty good running on early down while Boone took over on passing downs.

Andy Dalton has joined Jameis Winston on the Saints' injury report.

According to the Saints' OurLads page, the team isn't currently carrying a quarterback on their practice squad, which would make Taysom Hill the team's only option for QB if Andy Dalton is forced to miss Thursday Night Football. With TE eligibility, he would be a no-brainer fantasy start.

The Carolina Panthers have traded WR Robbie Anderson to the Arizona Cardinals less than 24 hours after he was kicked off his own sideline.

Though Marquise Brown went down with a foot injury that could hold him out for a minimal amount of time, it's hard to see Anderson garnering a large role with the Cardinals. DeAndre Hopkins returns from suspension Week 7 and is guaranteed to be a target hog. Anderson should not be a waiver wire priority.

Saints’ HC Dennis Allen said QB Andy Dalton will start Sunday vs. the Bengals.

Dalton may have a monumentous task ahead of him against his former team, as both Michael Thomas and Jarvis Landry are still questionable for the game. He is currently ranked as 4for4's QB25.

Saints QB Jameis Winston (back/ankle) was limited at today’s practice, according to the injury report.

Perhaps the biggest question regarding a Winston return is the usage of Hill. But we reported Tuesday a Winston return could mean even more snaps for Hill, who also had to serve as the backup to Dalton with Winston out. Winston didn't practice last week so this could be a good sign.

Saints coach Dennis Allen maintained that they always had a plan [to have Taysom Hill involved at QB].

While Winston's injury seemed to be the catalyst for Hill taking quarterback snaps again at practice, keep in mind Hill was also injured and missed time before Winston got hurt. As the story pointed out, if Winston returns as a starter, it would make even more sense for Hill to have a bigger role because he would not be an immediate backup at quarterback and thus not as big of an injury concern. Hill has scored the last two weeks and makes for a sneaky TE play if your league allows it.

Jameis Winston and Michael Thomas were not at the open portion of Saints practice today.

Terrell later tweet that HC Dennis Allen said the only update on Winston is that he's still rehabbing and is getting better. "We're just trying to get him healthy." Dalton played fairly well in the team's loss to the Vikings in London. Unfortunately for owners, Hill stole a touchdown late in the game. With Winston out, Hill will likely continue to see some gadget plays lining up at QB. Hill rushed five times for 21 yards in the game.
