Bye Weeks

  • Bills
  • Ravens
  • Vikings
  • Bears
  • Giants
  • Raiders

Thursday Game

Seattle Seahawks @ Dallas Cowboys

Early Games - Sunday, 1:00 pm ET

Miami Dolphins @ Washington Commanders

  • Tyreek Hill finally practiced in a limited fashion on Thursday, increasing the likelihood that he'll play. The rest could be precautionary, but monitor his designation going into Sunday.
  • Both De'Von Achane and Raheem Mostert have had limited practices all week. Achane is the biggest worry.
  • Jeff Wilson is a likely flex play this week.
  • Jaelan Phillips is on season-ending IR.
  • The Commanders have one of the worst defenses in the league, so expect big plays from the Dolphins.
  • Love the Commander's passing game for garbage-time/catch-up points.

Detroit Lions @ New Orleans Saints

LA Chargers @ New England Patriots

  • The Patriots still haven't named a starting quarterback, and who is under center is irrelevant, considering how bad the offense is as a whole.
  • Demario Douglas is the one viable pass catcher but has not logged a practice while dealing with a concussion, which is worrisome for Sunday.
  • Rhamondre Stevenson remains a must-start with a solid matchup nonetheless. He's the only thing that works and continues to receive an increase in targets.

Denver Broncos @ Houston Texans

  • Tank Dell has been limited in practice with a calf injury and could carry an injury designation into Sunday.
  • Houston's OL has more injuries, with Tytus Howard headed to IR.
  • Dalton Schultz has been sidelined with a hamstring injury, and we'll need to monitor his Friday practice, but this doesn't look good for Sunday.
  • This game has one of the highest expected points with a 47.5 O/U.

Arizona Cardinals @ Pittsburgh Steelers

  • Michael Wilson still hasn't practiced as he nurses a shoulder injury and looks doubtful again.
  • Zach Ertz was released this week, which looks great for Trey McBride over the rest of the season.
  • McBride did, however, pop up on the injury report with a groin injury after logging a limited practice on Thursday.
  • Diontae Johnson misses practice with an illness and will be someone to monitor.

Atlanta Falcons @ New York Jets

  • Breece Hall was limited in practice again with a hamstring injury and will need a full practice on Friday.
  • This game has the lowest expected points with a 34-point O/U.

Indianapolis Colts @ Tennessee Titans

  • Treylon Burks logs a full practice and looks poised to return from a concussion.
  • Jonathan Taylor will miss an extended amount of time after thumb surgery.
  • Zack Moss is a top 15 back until Taylor returns.
  • Will Levis has a minor ankle tweak in the middle of the week but looks set to start again.

Afternoon Games - Sunday, 4:05-4:25 pm ET

Carolina Panthers @ Tampa Bay Buccaneers

  • Chris Godwin logged a limited practice with a neck injury, but there does not seem to be any concern about his availability.
  • Devin White looks doubtful, and Lavonte David is questionable. The best part of Tampa's defense is in question, which could help Chubba Hubbard.

San Fransico 49ers @ Philadelphia Eagles

  • No major injuries.
  • Lots of expected points with 48-point O/U.

Cleveland Browns @ Los Angeles Rams

Sunday Night Football, 6:20 pm ET

Kansas City Chiefs @ Green Bay Packers

Monday Night Football, 6:15 pm ET

Cincinnati Bengals @ Jacksonville Jaguars

  • Tee Higgins is expected to play,
  • The Bengals' secondary is banged up, which looks good for a resurgence Jaguars passing game.
  • Travis Etienne Jr. has been day-to-day with a chest injury and could be questionable this week,
