John Mara

NYG Owner

Giants co-owner John Mara said, “we are not making any changes this season, and I do not anticipate making any changes in the offseason.”

Mara commented on the Giants’ state at the premier of late Giants owner Wellington Mara’s documentary. Primarily referring to head coach Brian Daboll and general manager Joe Schoen, Mara said he does not anticipate making changes either in-season, or in the offseason. This is a vote of confidence in Daboll and Schoen’s leadership of the team, though the non-changes may end there. QB Daniel Jones has fallen short of expectations and Mara did not discuss Jones during this conversation. The Giants currently stand at 2-5 and Mara’s comments indicate that at least the leadership at the top - Daboll and Schoen - won’t change any time soon.
Tyler Huntley

MIA Quarterback #18

Dolphins QB Tyler Huntley (shoulder) did not participate in Wednesday’s practice.

Huntley exited the Dolphins’ Week 7 loss to the Cardinals with a shoulder injury. With Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) slated to return in Week 8, Huntley’s status will determine the backup situation for Miami. If Huntley cannot go, it will likely be Tim Boyle as the backup against the Cardinals.
Jaylen Waddle

MIA Wide Receiver #17

Dolphins WR Jaylen Waddle (quad) was limited in Wednesday’s practice.

Waddle appeared to be shaken up during the Dolphins’ Week 7 game, but he continued to play. It is unclear if he sustained the quad injury during that game, but he now starts the week off limited. With Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) expected to return, Waddle will get a boost for fantasy, but it is worth monitoring if this quad issues turns concerning later in the week.
Micah Parsons

DAL EDGE #11

Cowboys EDGE Micah Parsons (ankle) did not participate in Wednesday’s practice.

Parsons injured his ankle in Week 4 and has not been able to play since. A non-participation status is a little concerning, especially since the Cowboys are just coming out of a bye week. Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said Parsons will be a game-time decisions against the 49ers for Week 8, but his return may be leaning closer to Week 9 if he cannot practice. CB DaRon Bland (foot) also did not practice with his 21-day activation window open.
Deebo Samuel Sr.

SF Wide Receiver #1

49ers WR Deebo Samuel (wrist/illness) did not participate in Wednesday’s practice.

Samuel was hospitalized for pneumonia after being active but not playing for Week 7. He was released on Tuesday and was at the 49ers’ facility, but did not practice on Wednesday. Samuel was listed for both an illness and wrist injury, which he dealt with last week. It will be difficult for Samuel to get back to playing for Week 8, but practice status later in the week will help determine that; head coach Kyle Shanahan has said he was hopeful Samuel would play. Fellow WR Chris Conley (ankle) was limited in practice. With Samuel and Jauan Jennings (hip) missing practice and Brandon Aiyuk (ACL) out for the season, Conley’s status has suddenly become notable.
Nick Bosa

SF EDGE #97

49ers EDGE Nick Bosa (elbow) was limited in Wednesday’s practice.

Bosa popped up on the injury report with an elbow injury and though he was potentially headed to a DNP status, the 49ers have him listed as limited for Wednesday. DT Kevin Givens (groin) and S George Odum (knee) did not participate in practice as the banged-up 49ers try to get healthy ahead of a Week 8 matchup against the Cowboys.
Kenneth Walker III

SEA Running Back #9

Seahawks RB Kenneth Walker (illness) did not participate in Wednesday’s practice.

Walker was added to the injury report Saturday with an illness before playing in the Seahawks’ Week 7 game against the Falcons. He starts off this week not practicing, but fantasy managers should not be too concerned yet, given he still had 16 touches on Sunday. Zach Charbonnet is the direct backup and handled eight carries while Walker played through the illness. Expect Walker to go Week 8, but if not, Charbonnet is an elite handcuff in the Seahawks’ backfield.
Alvin Kamara

NO Running Back #41

Alvin Kamara (hand/ribs) was limited in Wednesday’s practice.

Kamara is regularly playing through injury this year and we expect this week to be no different. He should rack up receptions as the Saints try to keep pace with the Chargers in Week 8. Kamara is a borderline RB1/2 for the occasion.
Taysom Hill

NO Tight End #7

Taysom Hill (ribs) was limited in Wednesday’s practice.

This is Hill’s fourth consecutive limited participation, dating back through last week. Fantasy managers should tentatively expect him to return for Week 8 but if he is unable to practice in full, he may be on a snap count.
Quentin Johnston

LAC Wide Receiver #1

Chargers WR Quentin Johnston (ankle) did not participate in Wednesday’s practice.

Johnston continues to be sidelined with an ankle injury he suffered in Week 6. Given he did not practice prior to being ruled out of Week 7, his non-participation is a concerning sign ahead of Week 8. Johnston will need to at least get a limited practice to play against the Saints Sunday. If he cannot go, there is a chance DJ Chark (groin), who was limited in Wednesday’s practice, could be activated off injured reserve to play on the perimeter for Week 8.
