Team news: Dallas Cowboys | Page 17

The Giants listed WR Wan'Dale Robinson (knee) as doubtful for Sunday's opener vs. Dallas -- and added TE Darren Waller to the injury report with a hamstring. He's questionable.

Related Players: Parris Campbell, Daniel Bellinger

The Giants' under team total is looking pretty enticing right about now. Presumably, the slot role will be pretty well locked down by Parris Campbell while Robinson is on the mend and offers a reasonable floor for very desperate fantasy managers. This is Waller's first stint on the injury report this week, so hopefully, that is more of a precaution.

Panthers WR D.J. Chark (hamstring) is out for Sunday's opener vs. Atlanta. WR Adam Thielen (ankle) is questionable.

Terrace Marshall has also been limited throughout the week. This could all translate to a much bigger role for rookie Jonathan Mingo, who had already been getting a lot of buzz through training camp. Depending on Thielen's status leading up to the game, Mingo could be in Flex consideration for deeper leagues.

For the Panthers, two starting WRs DJ Chark (hamstring) and Adam Thielen (ankle) did not participate in practice today.

Chark (hamstring) has been severely limited as well. Terrace Marshall has also been limited throughout the week. This could all translate to a much bigger role for rookie Jonathan Mingo, who had already been getting a lot of buzz through training camp.

Does not appear that Adam Thielen is going to practice today. He was limited yesterday with an ankle injury.

D.J. Chark says hamstring feels good and he’s optimistic about Week 1.

Chark injured his hamstring last week. He's battling for targets with the rookie Mingo and slot-guy Thielen. Marshall has recently returned to practice as well, but Chark does have a chance to emerge as a valuable target in this offense.

Cowboys waived RB Malik Davis, a person familiar with the decision said.

Related players: Rico Dowdle, Tony Pollard, Deuce Vaughn, Ronald Jones

In the end, Davis - who seemed like he had a chance to earn the RB2 job early on - trailed Dowdle and Vaughn this summer, but the team has interest in re-signing him to practice squad if he clears waivers, according to the rest of the post.

Jets are releasing Zonovan Knight, source said.

Related players: Breece Hall, Dalvin Cook, Michael Carter, Israel Abanikanda

Rapoport went on to say Knight received some interest on the trade front, which could indicate a claim on Wednesday and he finds another team. Knight got off to a hot start the first three weeks of his career last season, running for 14-69-0, 15-90-0 and 17-71-1. But New York is deep at RB, after signing Cook and drafting Abanikanda, who was a sneaky pick in dynasty drafts. Carter also survives and is expected to perhaps keep a third down role.

A few injury updates I’ve gathered:

• WR Wan’Dale Robinson: ACL. Expecting him to be activated from PUP by the Tuesday deadline.

• WR Cole Beasley: Quad. He’s close to 100%. Ford-Wheaton injury boosts Beasley’s odds for a roster spot.

The Giants have a crowded receiving room, and Robinson will need some time to get up to speed, so it remains to be seen what kind of role he'll start with and eventually get to on the Giants. Robinson has played most of his time in the slot and that area of the room is especially crowded, and includes the rookie Hyatt. Robinson was having the best game of his young career last season in Week 10, catching nine balls for 100 yards on 13 targets before tearing his ACL.

Trade: The 49ers are sending their former No. 3 overall pick Trey Lance to the Dallas Cowboys for a mid-round. Lance now gets a fresh start in Dallas.

Related Players: Sam Darnold, Cooper Rush, Will Grier

All things considered, this feels like a great deal for all teams involved. Regardless of what we think about the 49ers sacrificing so many picks to grab Lance in the first place, it didn't make any sense for them to keep him, as he has apparently become a third-stringer. The Cowboys had to give away only a fourth-round pick for what could be an exciting backup option, and Trey Lance gets a new start after what presumably has been a rough first couple of years in the league.

In fantasy terms, Lance at least becomes a hold in deep 2QB dynasty leagues.
