Kyle Pitts

ATL Tight End #8

NFL Network’s Cameron Wolfe reports the Falcons want to increase Kyle Pitts’ usage in Week 5 against the Bucs.

Folks... We have obviously heard this one before, but Pitts’ “usage” has plummeted to embarrassing depths in recent weeks, culminating with a zero-catch Week 4. He has exceeded 30 yards one time all season, and has yet to catch more than three passes. We would expect a few early designed looks against the Bucs, but it’s unclear if Pitts is even capable of forcing the issue once the scripted plays are through.
Trey McBride

ARI Tight End #85

Trey McBride (concussion) was upgraded to “full” for Thursday’s practice.

It means that, barring an unexpected regression in the concussion protocol, McBride will be good to go for Sunday’s game against the 49ers after missing Week 4. McBride’s easy targets were sorely missed by Kyler Murray last Sunday, to say nothing of fantasy managers. Despite something of a slow start, McBride immediately rejoins the top five at his struggling position.
David Njoku

CLE Tight End #85

David Njoku (ankle) was downgraded to “DNP” for Thursday’s practice, though the Browns have called it a planned day of rest.

Ok then. We don’t doubt it was planned, but it still means Njoku who has now gotten in one limited practice since going down in Week 1. It also means he did not bounce back better than expected, etc. from his Wednesday return. There is still a chance Njoku suits up against the Commanders, but he needs to be considered genuinely questionable.
Aaron Rodgers

NYJ Quarterback #8

Aaron Rodgers (knee) was a full participant in Thursday’s practice.

As expected, Rodgers was upgraded to a full participant after being limited on Wednesday due to missing the team’s stretching period. Rodgers himself said he was “a little banged up,” but it doesn’t sound like he’s at risk of missing Week 5’s contest against the Vikings in London.
Malik Nabers

NYG Wide Receiver #1

Malik Nabers (concussion) did not practice Thursday.

ESPN’s Jordan Raanan reported earlier that Nabers “seems like a longshot to be ready” for Week 5’s game against the Seahawks. Two straight DNPs to open the week only add to that possibility, but head coach Brian Daboll said the team will wait as long as possible before deciding on his Week 5 availability. Whether or not Nabers plays is dependent on his ability to clear concussion protocol, not the coaches. If doctors don’t clear him in time, he’ll be ruled out, which could pave the way for Wan’Dale Robinson to have a high-volume day through the air.
Nick Chubb

CLE Running Back #24

Nick Chubb said his knee “felt good” after his first return to practice on Wednesday.

Chubb said he doesn’t know when he’ll make his 2024 debut, but the 21-day return window means he would need to be activated no later than Week 8 when the Browns face the Jaguars. We wouldn’t expect him to be activated before Sunday’s game against the Commanders, but regardless, fantasy managers who have stashed him up to this point will soon be rewarded for their patience.
Jonathan Taylor

IND Running Back #28

Jonathan Taylor (ankle) said he won’t practice on Thursday.

Taylor’s absence on Thursday more or less makes Friday’s practice the determining factor for whether or not Taylor will play in Week 5 against the Jaguars. Taylor is dealing with a high-ankle sprain that he suffered last week against the Steelers. He said the injury isn’t as severe as the high-ankle sprain he suffered in 2022, but there’s still a chance he misses a few weeks because of it. His absence would create a scenario in which Trey Sermon handles the majority of the Colts’ running back touches, while Tyler Goodson works in for some passing work.
Davante Adams

LV Wide Receiver #17

The Athletic’s Dianna Russini reports the Bills and Chiefs “are all monitoring the [trade] situation and are more likely to get involved if the Raiders are willing to take on some of the money.”

Adams is owed $13.5 million for the remainder of this season. The money owed to him is what’s preventing some teams from being able to trade for him, but the Raiders can help push a deal across the line by agreeing to take on some of the remaining money on Adams’ deal. Adams is reportedly most interested in a trade to the Jets, but is willing to play for other teams, as reported by NFL Networks’ Ian Rapoport. Should the Raiders be willing to eat some of his salary to move him, that could increase their potential of landing the best deal on the market for Adams.
Davante Adams

LV Wide Receiver #17

NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports Davante Adams wants to play for the Jets, but is open to being traded elsewhere.

Rapoport points out that the Raiders plan to take the best offer on the table for Adams if they do trade the star receiver. Sports Illustrated’s Albert Breer reported earlier that teams around the league believe Adams is “focused on engineering” a trade do the Jets. It’s clear where Adams wants to go, but with other teams reportedly in the mix, we could see a bidding war for one of the league’s premier receivers in the coming days.
Davante Adams

LV Wide Receiver #17

ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports Davante Adams is not expected to play in the Raiders’ Week 5 game against the Broncos due to a hamstring injury.

Per The Athletic’s Dianna Russini, teams having conversations with the Raiders about a trade for Adams “have been informed is hamstring injury is expected to keep him sidelined 1-2 weeks.” She adds that it “is a real injury” and Adams “could be back next week if there are no snags.” After some speculation that Adams and/or the Raiders may be fabricating an injury while attempting to trade the star receiver, it’s no surprise to see the team put any of those questions to rest.
