Jaguars WR/CB Travis Hunter (knee) was hurt during practice Thursday. He will be put on IR and miss at least four games, HC Liam Coen said Friday morning.

Related Players: Brian Thomas Jr., Dyami Brown, Parker Washington, Tim Patrick

Brutal run out for what has been an underwhelming two-way experiment to this point in the season. Hunter is in drop territory for smaller leagues and is honestly in that same consideration for deeper leagues, considering he's only broken double-digit points once this season.

The Arizona Cardinals are preparing quarterback Kyler Murray to start Monday night against the Dallas Cowboys, coach Jonathan Gannon said Thursday. Murray missed Arizona's past two games with a foot injury and was able to rest it longer during the Cardinals' bye last week.

Murray's in a great spot to come into fantasy relevance against a Cowboys defense that ranks dead last in QB aFPA. Even if Murray doesn't scramble around a ton with a rehabbing foot, he should still be in easy consideration as a QB1.

Patriots RB Rhamondre Stevenson didn’t practice today due to a toe injury.

Related Players: TreVeyon Henderson

Still early in the week, but Henderson would be an incredible RB2 candidate in what should be a very good matchup. We'll keep an eye on things, but the rookie might jump from potential FLEX candidate to must-start territory with quickness.

Ravens QB Lamar Jackson (hamstring) is officially off the injury report and good to go Thursday night vs. Miami, along with every other player on the 53-man roster. At last, Baltimore getting healthy.

Related Players: Tyler Huntley

If Jackson is suiting up, he's in our lineups. Mark Andrews is still a touchdown-dependent top-15 option, but Zay Flowers moves back into fringe WR1 consideration.

49ers WR Ricky Pearsall (knee) will not practice again today, per Kyle Shanahan.

Others not practicing today: DE Bryce Huff (hamstring), C Jake Brendel (hamstring), DL Yetur Gross-Matos (hamstring), DT Alfred Collins, LB Dee Winters.

Related Players: Jauan Jennings, Kendrick Bourne, Demarcus Robinson

San Francisco is waiting with bated breath for the eventual Brandon Aiyuk return, but as it stands, it looks like Jennings should be considered a WR3 and Bourne a WR4 as we head into Week 4.

Commanders WR Terry McLaurin is out for Sunday after reinjuring his quad, coach Dan Quinn said. A setback for McLaurin.

Related Players: Deebo Samuel, Chris Moore, Luke McCaffrey

This slides Deebo back into WR2 territory, as he should regain the great target share he had before his own injury.

Panthers QB Bryce Young (ankle) was a full participant in practice, putting him on track to return Sunday at Green Bay.

Meanwhile, backup QB Andy Dalton (right thumb) did not participate.

Dalton had a miserable performance and somehow made it out of Week 8 with only one interception, so this is a good sign for the Panthers' offense. With that said, Young should be a long way from fantasy consideration against the Packers, while Tetaroia McMillan is the only receiver we should be plugging into lineups.

No Xavier Woods, Calvin Ridley, Jeffery Simmons, Blake Hance, Dan Moore Jr for the Titans at practice today per Mike McCoy.

Related Players: Chimere Dike, Elic Ayomanor, Van Jefferson

Not a good sign for Ridley's Week 9 availability, but it's not out of the question that he's playing for another team at this point next week. Dike and Ayomanor both make for solid WR4-types if Ridley is unable to suit up.

WR Hollywood Brown (ill), RB Isiah Pacheco (knee) and LT Josh Simmons (personal) will not practice on Wednesday ahead of Buffalo. As described by Andy Reid, RG Trey Smith will give it a "whirl" after going through the walkthrough.

Related Players: Kareem Hunt, Brashard Smith

Given that Brown's absence is due to illness, we'll hold off making any sweeping judgments about his absence.

As for Pacheco, it seems very unlikely he'll play in Week 9, leaving Hunt (RB2) and Smith (low-end RB3) in the mix as fantasy pieces.

Not practicing today for Giants: Jermaine Eluemunor (pec), Jalin Hyatt (will be back tomorrow), Daniel Bellinger, Chauncey Golston (neck), Cor’Dale Flott (concussion), Art Green

Paulson Adebo and Jevon Holland will do “some stuff,” but not clear what that means

Related Players: Theo Johnson

This is shaping up as a decent week to stream Theo Johnson if your waiver wire is bare. It's unlikely Chris Manhertz contributes much as a pass-catcher in the event Bellinger is sidelined.
