Ravens RB Matt Lawrence (knee out) did not practice Fri...

Back at practice for Broncos were Jonah Coleman (designated for return from IR after ankle injury), Pat Surtain (missed last 2 games with ankle) and Jonathon Cooper (off commissioner exempt list). Not present were Talanoa Hufanga (ankle), Jonah Elliss (leg), Tyler Badie (thumb).

Coleman is worth a bench stash in leagues where he remains available, especially for managers looking beyond this week. He needs activation and a defined role before becoming a trustworthy start. His return could make an already shared backfield more crowded, adding workload risk for Dobbins and Harvey. Neither should automatically be benched simply because Coleman has resumed practicing.

Wide receiver Keenan Allen (rest), linebacker Bryce Boettcher (groin), guard Matt Goncalves (ankle), wide receiver Anthony Gould (concussion), tight end Drew Ogletree (ankle), defensive tackle Jerry Tillery (personal), cornerback Justin Walley (knee), cornerback Charvarius Ward Sr. (rest) and tight end Tyler Warren (groin) also did not practice.

Warren managers should secure a replacement while waiting for a practice return. If he misses again, Mallory and Alie-Cox would share the opportunity without either becoming a dependable streamer. Allen and Downs would have a better chance to absorb additional targets and strengthen their WR3/FLEX cases.

Chicago ruled Kyle Monangai out against New England with thumb and toe injuries. He will miss his third consecutive game. Starting guard Jonah Jackson practiced fully Wednesday and carries no injury designation.

Related Players: D'Andre Swift, Roschon Johnson, Caleb Williams

Swift is a low-end RB1 with Monangai unavailable and a clearer path to controlling Chicago’s backfield touches. Johnson is a deep-league FLEX possibility, but his opportunity remains dependent on how much work Chicago gives him behind Swift.
