Should come as no surprise Vikings HC Leslie Frazier sa...

Lamar Jackson did not practice Wednesday because of the ankle injury he suffered against Pittsburgh. Jackson left the stadium Sunday wearing a protective boot on his left foot, while Tyler Huntley handled the Ravens’ preparations for Atlanta.

The rankings already anticipate Huntley starting. He is primarily a superflex or two-QB option, and his presence lowers the passing-game ceiling for Flowers, Andrews and Bateman. Henry’s touch projection remains secure, though the entire offense carries greater scoring risk without Jackson. Thursday’s practice should clarify whether Jackson has any realistic chance of playing.

The Eagles are elevating RB Dameon Pierce to the 53-man roster, per source.

RB help needed due to injuries to Saquon Barkley and Tank Bigsby.

Related Players: Will Shipley, Jaydon Blue, Carson Steele

Shipley remains the preferred Week 5 option, but Pierce could take enough early-down and short-yardage work to limit Shipley’s ceiling. Pierce is only a deep-league stash for now. His promotion also pushes Blue and Steele further from immediate fantasy relevance.

The Vikings signed WR Odell Beckham Jr. and WR Jeshaun Jones to their practice squad Wednesday.

Related Players: Justin Jefferson, Jordan Addison, Jauan Jennings, Tai Felton, T.J. Hockenson

Beckham does not carry immediate fantasy value as a practice-squad addition after failing to record a catch with New York. He could be elevated if Jefferson misses another game, but Addison, Hockenson, and Jennings would remain the safer bets for targets.
