Bengals OC Pitcher: We’ll continually assess RB

Hill saw eight targets in a blowout loss last week. Third-string quarterback Joe Fagnano peppered him with check-downs, though Hill only managed four catches. With Fagnano making his first career start tomorrow, Hill should continue to rack up targets in Week 9. He’s in the RB4 mix in PPR leagues.

Andrews has been playing through the hand injury for a few weeks without any issues. He logged three full practices this week. With Joe Fagnano making his first career start for the Ravens tomorrow, we wouldn’t advise playing any Ravens outside of Derrick Henry and Zay Flowers this week.

Randall is currently on injured reserve, so the Ravens will have to activate him tomorrow afternoon if they plan on him playing. He will compete with Rasheen Ali for the RB3 role if he’s ready to return to the field this week. There isn’t any fantasy value to be had here.

Chiefs coach Andy Reid told reporters today that general manager Brett Veach has been constantly sharing potential trade targets with the coaching staff for about a month. According to Goldman, the Chiefs could also target additions along the offensive and defensive lines, but he believes the team would “likely have to acquire a receiver through other means” before focusing on the trenches. There aren’t many free agency options right now, though, so it is unclear how this scenario would play out. Goldman notes that Josh Downs and Brian Thomas Jr. “have surfaced in trade discussions.” He does not think the Chiefs will make a move before Sunday, though a move early next week, before the November 10th trade deadline, is still possible.

Henry could ultimately get in a limited session later in the day, but this certainly looks like a DNP. The veteran tight end injured his foot early in the Pats’ Week 8 win over the Dolphins and did not return. Rookie Eli Raridon will take his spot in the lineup if Henry is unable to play this week. Raridon is averaging an impressive 13.3 yards per catch while mixing in behind Henry this year. He would immediately be in the TE2 mix if Henry is ruled out.

Schefter adds that this trade will not be completed in time for Brissett to play in Week 9’s Thursday Night Football game for the Ravens, but he will make his debut in Week 10 against the Chargers. Brissett’s impending arrival in Baltimore immediately stabilizes the pass-catching corps’ fantasy value. The trade compensation has not yet been revealed, but we expect to know more soon.

Robinson has missed the past two weeks with the hamstring issue. A limited session today puts him on track to return to the lineup against the Bengals on Sunday. Robinson had at least seven carries in every game before going down in Week 6. He will be in the RB4 mix if he gets the green light for Week 9.

Tyson aggravated his nagging hamstring late in the offseason and was placed on injured reserve ahead of Week 1. He will practice for the first time today. NewOrleans.Football’s Nick Underhill said it’s possible Tyson plays this week, though he immediately mentioned a potential snap count for the rookie. The Saints likely want to ramp Tyson up slowly to avoid another setback, so we wouldn’t be surprised if he gets in some limited practices this week but is held out of Sunday’s game. Tyson should be stashed in every fantasy format, but managers can’t count on him as even a FLEX play for at least one more week.

Montgomery could still need more time to recover from his Week 5 groin injury. Woody Marks should be expected to start against the Chargers this weekend, at this time. Montgomery technically still has a chance to resume practicing this week, but today likely would have served as the first ramp-up session if he had a good chance of playing.

Joe Milton will start for the Eagles against the Giants this week. McKee’s time under center lasted three games. Unfortunately, he never once threw for more than 215 yards or threw multiple touchdowns. McKee can be dropped in two-quarterback leagues. Milton is a volatile QB2.
