Nacua left Thursday’s practice after aggravating the knee issue that sidelined him for most of the first two months of the season. NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo reported that the issue wasn’t serious. McVay told reports today that there isn’t anything structurally wrong with his knee and that he wouldn’t bet against Nacua playing. All of this points to the second-year wideout suiting up this week, but it’s more than a bit concerning to see his knee issue flare up immediately after his return. Fantasy managers should treat him as a high-risk WR2 if he plays this week.

Levis was limited in practice this week after missing the past two games with a sprained AC joint in his right shoulder. The Titans will likely take this decision down to the wire. Fantasy managers can ignore this situation entirely. Levis was struggling before suffering the shoulder injury and Mason Rudolph has two touchdowns to three picks in his two starts. Regardless of who draws the start, there is no QB2 juice in Tennessee this week.

Njoku was held out of the first two practices of the week with the ankle issue. He missed three games with the same injury earlier this year, so the team is managing his reps in practice. Njoku is good to go for Week 9. With 15 receptions for 137 yards and two scores sans Amari Cooper, Njoku is climbing the TE1 rankings this week.

Jackson was a surprise DNP on Wednesday. Head coach John Harbaugh said it was just rest, but the Ravens threw us another curveball when they listed him with multiple issues on their injury report. Jackson missed Thursday’s session as well but was back on the field by Friday. He may be a little sore heading into Week 9, but neither Jackson nor Harbaugh were concerned about his availability at any point. Jackson will continue his MVP-caliber campaign as a high-end QB1 versus the Broncos this week.

After a full week of DNPs, it would seem rather likely that Higgins will officially be out when the injury report is released later today. Higgins has not practiced or played since injuring the quad on Friday. It’s possible the Bengals try to make a game-time decision out of this, but even then, given the rough history of Higgins playing hurt under Zac Taylor, it’s hard to trust Higgins in fantasy lineups.

Both touchdowns were spectacular. The first came on a one-handed stab from Aaron Rodgers where he scampered in from 21-yards out to tie the game at 7-7. The second was one of the best scores of the year, as he somehow got his shin down before his knee to give the Jets a 14-10 lead and the victory. Both Wilson and Davante Adams were able to go over 90 yards in this contest, and Wilson hasn’t had any issue piling up numbers since Adams joined the team. He should receive a healthy number of touches in Week 10 against the Cardinals.

Rodgers missed on his first four passes before completing a screen pass to Breece Hall for all of negative two yards. He had an 18-yard touchdown pass negated when Malachi Corley made the questionable decision to not hold onto the football through the end zone. The second half was much more impressive, however. Both touchdown throws in the second half to Garrett Wilson were much more great plays by Garrett Wilson than they were great throws — particularly the one in the fourth to give the Jets a 14-10 lead — but they still count. The final touchdown was a perfect throw down the sideline to Davante Adams on a slot fade to put the game away. It wasn’t flawless — and it won’t ever be again for the 40-year-old — but there were some flashes of the Packers’ version in this contest The Jets take on the Cardinals in Week 10.

Nacua left Wednesday’s practice with a knee injury — the same knee that has given him issues since early August and saw him miss time this year — but Garafolo reports that the wideout is expected to be fine. Fantasy managers should obviously keep an eye on Friday, but it sounds like has a good chance to go Sunday against the Seahawks in Week 9.

The Seahawks remain hopeful that Metcalf can play in Week 9 after missing Week 8’s loss to the Bills, but back-to-back missed practices likely limits that optimism at least slightly. If he gets in at least a limited session Friday he has a chance, but fantasy managers should be preparing to be without Metcalf against the Rams on Sunday.

Head coach John Harbaugh said Jackson’s absence on Wednesday was due to rest, but there won’t be any downplaying two straight missed practices with knee/back issues. Lamar and the Ravens get the Broncos in Week 9 and then have a quick turnaround to prepare for the Bengals on Thursday night in Week 10. We won’t press the panic alarm just yet, but Friday’s practice will prove very important for Jackson’s Week 9 availability.
