New DC Dave Wannstedt has singled out MLB Kelvin Sheppard as a nucleus player on the Bills defense.

“I’ve got all the confidence in the world with Shep,” said Wannstedt. “To me he’s about what you’re looking for in a 4-3 middle linebacker. ... I think it’s going to fit his skills to a ‘T’. I think he’s going to be a very, very productive player for us.” Sheppard is going to be a player to target in IDP formats in 2012.

Alvin Kamara was not seen practicing on Wednesday.

We expect to see Kamara listed with his typical NIR-rest/back designation when the team’s official injury report is released later today. An update will be provided if this is not the case. With Travis Etienne (hamstring) now practicing and Audric Estime playing well, Kamara is barely fantasy-relevant.

Travis Etienne

NO Running Back #3

Travis Etienne (hamstring) resumed practicing on Wednesday.

Coming off injured reserve, Etienne can practice for 21 days before the Saints must officially either activate him or shut him down. The Saints’ No. 1 running back has been sidelined since unsuccessfully trying to play through a hamstring strain in Week 3 against the Raiders. Audric Estime could warrant RB2/FLEX treatment again this week if Etienne is not ready to face the Panthers on Sunday.

Cam Skattebo

NYG Running Back #44

Cam Skattebo (hamstring) was removed from the injury report and will play in Week 10 against the Commanders.

Skattebo was listed as doubtful for Week 9. He reportedly pushed to play, but the team smartly chose to hold him out. He logged two full practices this week and is good to go for Thursday’s game. Without much competition for touches, Skattebo is back in the RB2 mix.

Cade Mays (ankle) did not practice on Wednesday.

The Lions are at their best when the offensive line is in good health. Mays missed multiple games early in the year with a wrist injury. He is now sidelined by an ankle injury. Hopefully, he can resume practicing before long. Lions S Kerby Joseph (knee) and S Brian Branch (hip) were both limited.

J.J. McCarthy

NYG Quarterback #18

J.J. McCarthy (hip) was removed from the injury report and will play in Week 10 against the Commanders.

McCarthy was upgraded to a full practice yesterday and remained full today. He’s good to go after getting banged up in the team’s Week 9 win over the Eagles. McCarthy made a few big plays against Philly, but his accuracy issues were compounded by five sacks. His shine as a high-end QB2 has all but evaporated.

Sione Vaki (ankle) was limited on Wednesday.

Vaki played through the injury last week, and should be expected to do so again against the Patriots this week. Fellow backup RB Jacob Saylors (neck/hamstring) is practicing in full. Vaki is the team’s top backup.

Amon-Ra St. Brown (ribs) was limited on Wednesday.

St. Brown played through the injury without issue last week, catching eight passes for 86 yards. The Lions’ No. 1 wide receiver should be treated as a WR1, as usual, against the Patriots in this week’s international game. St. Brown will likely upgrade to full participation on Thursday or Friday.

KaVontae Turpin

DAL Wide Receiver #9

KaVontae Turpin (ribs) was limited in Wednesday’s practice.

Turpin has missed three weeks with the rib issue. He may need to be upgraded to a full practice before being cleared to return to action. Even if he is back this week, George Pickens appears to be healthy and Ryan Flournoy is locked in as the team’s WR3, so there isn’t any fantasy value to be had here.

Jared Goff

DET Quarterback #16

Jared Goff (chest) was limited on Wednesday.

Goff had his worst game of the year in the Lions’ Week 9 win over the Dolphins. Perhaps this injury was bothering him. On the plus side, Goff is already practicing in a limited capacity, so we do not expect it to impact his availability for Week 10 against the Patriots. It is worth monitoring his practice participation level this week, though.

Jake Ferguson

DAL Tight End #87

Jake Ferguson (knee) did not practice Wednesday.

No surprises here as Ferguson is expected to miss multiple weeks, according to Cowboys head coach Brian Schottenheimer. Ferguson was barely putting up TE2 numbers when healthy, so we’re not expecting much from Brevyn Spann-Ford as the next man up. Fantasy managers should aim higher on the waiver wire this week.
