A limited practice to open the week is more or less maintenance for Warren. He should have no issues suiting up for Week 17’s game against the Browns. Coming off a two-score, 143-yard performance on Sunday, Warren is flirting with an RB2 ranking for the final week of the fantasy football season. He is still splitting work with Kenneth Gainwell, but both backs could get home in a run-heavy win over Cleveland.

It’s Tuesday, so we’re only 10 more Lamar updates from getting to the weekend. Rapoport believes according to people he’s spoken with that Jackson will play, and he is “believed to be as close to 100 percent as he has been.” Rapoport also noted that the Ravens weren’t “shocked” that Jackson didn’t play in Week 7, but with a Sunday and a Thursday coming up, wanted him ready for Week 8 and Week 9 badly.

This does not have us optimistic that Golden will play on Thursday night. If he’s sidelined, Savion Williams will be a candidate for more work on offense and perhaps a worthwhile FLEX streamer, while Tucker Kraft will likely ascend to the No. 2 role.

It was his last possible day to be reinstated in his 21-day window. The fact that Klint Kubiak spent much of Thornton’s 21-day window talking about how he had to go show us something makes us think Thornton will probably just be a depth piece for the time being. The Raiders waived Jonah Laulu to make room for Thornton.

He’ll miss at least the next four games. Taylor-Britt has played just 91 snaps for the Colts this year after coming over as a Lou Anarumo reclamation project. He has one sack, 13 tackles, and two passes defensed so far this year.

Seems there’s little doubt that Coker will play on Thursday night. He’ll likely be removed from the injury report on Wednesday. Even after last week’s fiasco he likely belongs in the WR2 ranks.

The Bears elected to have a practice Tuesday, as they prepare for a MNF matchup with the Seahawks, so they won’t have an injury report until Thursday. This isn’t exactly a strong sign that Monangai won’t make it back this week, but it also isn’t good news for managers that would like to see him active.

With both Saquon Barkley (back) and Dameon Pierce (undisclosed) shuttling off in the fourth quarter, it was practice squad elevation Mitchell helping to close out a loss to the Cowboys. It’s certainly possible that Mitchell will be involved in whatever happens next week given the two injuries ahead of him, making him an interesting waiver wire thought.

Likely was spotted limping at times during Week 7’s win over the Texans, which helps explain his subpar production. We’ll keep an eye on this one coming out of the bye, but we’re certainly not expecting anything serious here.

The first-year UDFA rushed for 166 yards on 23 carries in the preseason for the Chargers, adding one touchdown and one eight-yard reception. We’d be surprised if he got real run in this backfield but at least he has the bye week to acclimate.

Well that sorts out the Giants backfield for the short term. Devin Singletary will take over as the primary passing down back behind Cam Skattebo and should be a usable FLEX play going forward. Tracy will miss the next four weeks after going down with the hamstring injury in the second quarter of New York’s win over the Texans in Week 7. Schoen indicated this isn’t a season-ender for Tracy.
