Bears place wide receiver Joe Anderson on injured reser...

The Bills will not have wide receiver D.J. Moore for Monday Night Football.

Moore is among the team’s inactives, sitting out after aggravating an AC sprain in his left shoulder.

Coleman and Shakir likely operate as the top WR targets but the TEs could also get involved. There could be a lot of points scored in this contest.

Indications are one, if not both, DeVonta Smith and Saquon Barkley have a shot to return against the Panthers.

It will depend on how the practice week goes, of course. In Barkley's case, with Tank Bigsby and Will Shipley out, will the Eagles have to bring in more backs to fill a void? If they do at some point this week, it could be a sign Barkley isn't ready to go, so that's something to keep an eye on. The Eagles passing game has really struggled this season but would be boosted by the return of Smith.

Kyren Williams has emerged so much as a receiver that he’s this team’s de facto No. 3 option behind Puka Nacua and Davante Adams, with 21 catches for 173 yards.

The story went on to say between that and his immense value as a pass protector to keep a 38-year-old Stafford upright, the Rams feel challenged to give Williams 20-plus carries in a game. That's why Williams is averaging just over 13 carries a game. In Week 4 against the Eagles he collected 10 catches. Williams also had 16 carries in Week 4, which was a season high for him. Meanwhile Corum has just 11 carries over the past two weeks after getting 10 and 12 in Weeks 1 and 2. Ideally the Rams would like more of a balance with carries between their backs while Williams gets the edge catching passes. Owners are hoping Williams is in store for another big game on Monday night in what could bet a high-scoring affair against the Bills.
