Chiefs RB Isiah Pacheco, who left Monday night’s win with a knee injury, is considered week-to-week with an MCL sprain, per sources.

The week to week tag suggest Pacheco could at least miss Week 9, which is a showdown against the Bills. Keep in mind, the Chiefs have a bye in Week 10. Hunt should get his normal workload but Smith could be an interesting add as he seems to be trending up, especially in the passing game, and it could result in more touches overall if Pacheco is out.

Though he missed Sunday’s loss to the Bills, Panthers quarterback Bryce Young is getting closer to returning from an ankle injury.

Head coach Dave Canales provided an update on the quarterback during his Monday press conference.

“With Bryce, [he’s] just getting better every day,” Canales said. “Had a good session running today in return-to-play. The goal is to get him out there on Wednesday, move him around, see if we can get him into practice in a mode. So, I’m optimistic he’ll be out there. But we’re going to take it day-to-day with him.”

With the Panthers looking to stay competitive, and Dalton pretty much a disaster in Week 8, Young may have no choice but to be ready to go this week. Dalton turned the ball over three times in the team's loss to the Bills. The Panthers have a tough matchup on the road in Green Bay for Week 9.

Barkley seemed in good spirits following the injury and was seen on the sideline smiling with teammates and coaches. Rapoport said Barkley probably could have returned to the game but the Eagles had a big enough lead on the Giants to keep him out. The Eagles have a bye this coming week, so it's perfect timing for Barkley to get ready for Week 10. However, the Eagles Week 10 game is a Monday night contest. Barkley owners may want to grab Bigsby off the wire just in case. Shipley would likely get some touches as well should Barkley have to miss the game. Bigsby did go over 100 yards rushing in the game as well.

The Eagles ruled out WR A.J. Brown with a hamstring injury.

Smith and Goedert turn into very strong plays in this divisional matchup. Dotson sneaks into potential FLEX territory for desperate fantasy managers.

The Panthers offense very rarely misses a beat when Dalton is forced into action and is oftentimes even better. With that said, he's too deep of a play to consider as a streamer in most leagues.

Still early enough that AJB could still see the field this week, but Smith and Goedert would be even stronger plays in a divisional matchup if he misses. Dotson works also sneak up to FLEX consideration.

Bryce Young was not able to finish Sunday’s win for the Panthers and now he is unlikely to suit up for Week 8.

Per Tom Pelissero of NFL Media, Young is expected to miss next Sunday’s game against the Bills with a high-ankle sprain.

Dalton will get the start against the Bills. Young has been playing better since the start of the season and has been supported by a very good running game as of late. It will be a tough game against the Bills but Dalton at least has some streaming value in deeper QB leagues. The story added while the return timetable for Young's injury is usually 2-to-4 weeks, it’s currently unclear how long Young will be out.

Packers coach Matt LaFleur said Christian Watson “looks great” in practice and said “we’ll see” if he’s activated for Sunday’s game.

“Just trying to build up to where we feel comfortable and he does.”

Even if Watson does suit up, we should expect the usual heavy rotation of Green Bay receivers. When he is fully healthy, he'll find a boom-bust role that will be difficult to depend on in fantasy.

Before the practice, coach Andy Reid said Rashee Rice will make his season debut Sunday when the Chiefs host the Las Vegas Raiders (1 p.m. ET, CBS).

"How many snaps he gets, [I don't know]," Reid said of Rice. "He's excited to be back in and going. I think getting through practices [this week] will be good for him to get into the swing of things. He's been working hard. He's in good shape."

We could see a bit of a snap count for Rice, but we wouldn't assume they would be putting him on the field if they weren't going to use him. Even if he is limited, this should be quite the upgrade for Patrick Mahomes, while the intermediate work for Kelce could end up taking a backseat to the far more explosive option. Rice should be considered more of a fantasy WR2 than WR1 as he ramps up.
