  • IND Defensive Tackle #90
    Colts DT Grover Stewart was suspended six games for violating the league’s performance-enhancing substance policy.
    The loss of Stewart marks a brutal blow to the Colts’ defensive line. The veteran defensive tackle has started all six games for the Colts this season, totaling 20 tackles and two TFLs while adding nine pressures. A six-game suspension means Stewart won’t be able to return until the Colts’ Week 14 matchup against the Bengals.
  • NO Running Back #41
    Alvin Kamara (hand) was limited in practice Tuesday.
    That’s back-to-back limited tags for Kamara, who appears to be trending on the right side of questionable ahead of Wednesday’s designations. With Spencer Rattler at quarterback and a ragtag group of receivers, it’s possible that the offense is entirely built on however much Kamara can give the Saints against the Broncos. He’ll be a risky play in season-long leagues due to the general Saints offensive trend — he had just 64 total yards on 18 touches last week.
  • NO Tight End #7
    Taysom Hill (ribs) was limited in Tuesday’s practice.
    He seemed to be absent from the portion of the practice open to the media, so Hill appears to be trending towards a questionable status tomorrow. Hill has not played since Week 4 with fractured ribs. If he did play, he’d certainly be an interesting start given the lack of Saints weapons at skill positions this week.
  • NO Wide Receiver #12
    Chris Olave (concussion) did not practice Tuesday.
    He will almost certainly not clear concussion protocol ahead of Thursday night football. Look elsewhere for wideout help if you need it. Bub Means lead the Saints in targets in Week 6 and will perhaps be their No. 1 receiver on Thursday if Rashid Shaheed also remains out.
  • NO Wide Receiver #22
    Rashid Shaheed (knee) did not practice on Tuesday.
    Shahid is reportedly getting his knee checked to determine the severity of an injury he suffered in the fourth quarter, per Nick Underhill. He definitely appears to be trending towards being inactive for Thursday night. He may also be an IR candidate. Bub Means was New Orleans’ most-targeted receiver last game and may be a viable PPR scam on Thursday night with both Shaheed and Chris Olave likely out.
  • KC Running Back #25
    Chiefs designated Clyde Edwards-Helaire (illness) to return from injured reserve.
    That doesn’t necessarily mean he’ll be active this week, it just opens his 21-day practice window. Kansas City’s backfield seems pretty set at the moment with Kareem Hunt as the lead back, Samaje Perine as the third-down back, and Carson Steele as a fullback/backup. Edwards-Helaire would likely only return as a depth piece initially.
  • BUF Running Back #4
    Bills coach Sean McDermott said James Cook "[has] a chance” to play against the Titans in Week 7.
    Buffalo’s practice report will be worth monitoring this week, as Cook missed all three days of practice ahead of a questionable tag and then was not able to play. Ray Davis is a worthwhile waiver claim for Cook-focused managers if he’s available. If Cook does play, it will be interesting to see if Davis is able to make real inroads towards making it a committee after his breakout game on Monday night.
  • CHI Linebacker #43
    Bears signed LS Jake McQuaide to their practice squad.
    It’s an admission that normal snapper of snaps that are longer than usual Scott Daly may need some time off after suffering a knee injury in London. McQuaide will kill Cole Kmet’s value in points per long snap leagues.
  • ARI Defensive Tackle #92
    Cardinals placed DL Bilal Nichols (neck) on injured reserve.
    Nichols suffered stingers in back-to-back games for the Cardinals and must now miss the next four weeks. Adam Schefter reported that Nichols is expected to miss the remainder of the season. He had started five of six games for the Cardinals on the interior line, notching just six tackles and one tackle for loss on the season. Naquan Jones and Khyiris Tonga will likely get playing time boosts.
  • ARI Kicker #5
    Cardinals placed K Matt Prater (knee) on injured reserve.
    Chad Ryland kicked for Arizona in Weeks 5 and 6 and should continue to be the team’s main kicker until Prater is healthy again. Prater will miss at least four more games with an injury that has already sidelined him the previous two weeks.
  • NYJ Safety #36
    Jets placed S Chuck Clark (ankle) on injured reserve.
    He’ll miss at least four games after leaving Monday night’s loss to the Bills. Clark had 17 solo tackles and one pass defensed for the Jets in six starts. Ashtyn Davis replaced him in the lineup after he left and would seem likely to step in to a starting role in Clark’s absence.
