Team news: Tennessee Titans | Page 2

Titans activated RB Tyjae Spears off injured reserve in time for him to make a season debut Sunday against the Cardinals.

Related Players: Tony Pollard

We'll see how much run Spears gets, but this is definitely a potential issue for Pollard, who has had great volume, but remains on a bad offense that isn't putting up any points. Spears can be left on benches, but Pollard should be downgraded into RB3-range.

Titans WR Calvin Ridley (knee/elbow) returned to practice today on a limited basis and is officially questionable for Sunday's game at Arizona.

The last thing Cam Ward needs is *less* firepower, but it looks like he could be playing with a compromised WR1, which lowers his fantasy value to the bottom of the barrel. Ayomanor has been coming along nicely to this point in his rookie season and can be considered a fringe WR3/4 regardless of his teammate's game-time status.

Cardinals RB Trey Benson is being placed on injured reserve due to his knee injury.

Related Players: Emari Demercado, Michael Carter, Bam Knight

Well this escalated quickly. Rumblings around the league have Carter, not Demercado, taking the early-down role while the latter handles third-down snaps, but we wouldn't expect either to have anything near a bell-cow role. This is probably a situation we'd like to watch play out before going all-in with either guy, but they should both be in the RB3/4 range for desperate managers.

Giants star WR Malik Nabers does, in fact, have a torn ACL, the MRI at Hospital for Special Surgery confirmed. He’s out for the season.

This actually negatively impacts the entire offense, but the three pass-catchers listed above are the ones who will theoretically get the largest target share boosts. This is terrible news for Jaxson Dart, who exhibited some nice wheels in his first start but will more be missing a stud wide receiver. Robinson should be considered in the WR2/3 range moving forward.

After being a limited practice participant Wednesday, Titans QB Cam Ward was a full practice participant today.

Related Players: Brandon Allen

Brandon Allen is the only other quarterback on the active roster right now, but even if Ward has a setback, Allen's really not worth the add. The Titans' passing offense has averaged 168.6 passing yards per game with only two touchdown passes and 15 sacks through three games. The Texans D/ST is in strong streaming consideration regardless of who starts Week 4.

Titans QB Cam Ward (ankle/calf) was limited in today’s practice.

Giants WRs Malik Nabers (back) and Darius Slayton (groin) are off the injury report and good to go Sunday vs. the #Cowboys.

WR Wan'Dale Robinson (ankle) is questionable. LT Andrew Thomas (foot) is doubtful.

Nabers might get 20 targets if Robinson misses this game. Regardless, he's the only receiver we should be seriously considering in most league formats.

Brian Daboll’s pre-practice Giants injury updates for today, Thursday:

LT Andrew Thomas (foot) will practice and do team reps

WR Malik Nabers (back) will be full after being limited yesterday

DL Dexter Lawrence (paternity) is back at practice after being gone Wednesday for the birth of his first child

WR Wan’Dale Robinson (ankle) is back after missing Wednesday

LB Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles (calf) will not practice today after aggravating an injury yesterday

Related Players: Wan'Dale Robinson, Darius Slayton, Jalin Hyatt

Nabers had some limited practices last week and still earned 12 targets in the game, so we shouldn't be too worried here. Keep considering him a WR1 unless something changes.

Andrew Thomas (foot) won't practice Wednesday. That is part of the plan, per Brian Daboll. He will practice Thursday and Friday.

Malik Nabers (back) will be limited.

Dexter Lawrence will not be at practice Wednesday. His wife had their first child this week.

Brian Daboll says Giants will “back down on Malik” Nabers today in practice because his back is a “little tight” but says Nabers will be OK for Sunday

LT Andrew Thomas will practice today and “do some team stuff” after not practicing yesterday

Related Players: Wan'Dale Robinson, Darius Slayton, Jalin Hyatt

Nabers has a very real chance to lead all 2025 NFL wide receivers in target share; it's just a matter of how efficient those looks will be. If he's on the field, he's an automatic must-start, and we should expect a WR1 outcome against the Commanders.
