"Amon-Ra St. Brown is back at practice Thursday"

I was mistaken about him missing this week. It sounds like he will be playing but I bet he is dealing with some pain.

#AmonRaStBrown #Lions

[Big Brain Fantasy Football @FantasyBigBrain]

"#AmonRaStBrown missed practice Wednesday and is considered 'day-to-day'"

The injury is undisclosed right now but I believe it could possibly be turf toe or something like that. In my opinion, I think St. Brown will miss this week. Josh Reynolds could be a FLEX

#Lions

"Anthony Richardson is not practicing Thursday"

Back-to-back no practices for Richardson. It doesn't seem like he will be playing this week but let's wait and see what happens tomorrow.

#AnthonyRichardson #Colts

"#AnthonyRichardson remains in concussion protocol"

Richardson (my dawg) was going crazy Texans until he hit his head hard on the ground. I don't think he will play this week. As Minshew is their backup, I do see much downfall to their skilled player's production

#Colts

"Ravens RB Justin Hill is dealing with turf toe"

This makes sense as to why they signed Kenyan Drake. If he were to miss any time, it would open the door for Gus Edwards as the lead back.

#Ravens #JustinHill #FantasyFootball

[Big Brain Fantasy Football @FantasyBigBrain]

"The Ravens are signing Kenyan Drake"

This backfield is turning into a mess for fantasy managers. Their RBs consist of Gus Edwards, Justice Hill, Melvin Gordon, and now, Kenyan Drake. I would be hesitant to start any of these RBs.

"Austin Ekeler (ankle) did not practice today"

I don't think Ekeler will play this week against the Vikings. I expect Kelley to have a lot better week the last week. He is a low RB2 and a FLEX play if Ekeler is out

#AustinEkeler #Chargers #FantasyFootball

[Big Brain Fantasy Football @FantasyBigBrain]

"Stanley: 'No timeline' for Ekeler's return"

I expected Ekeler to be out 1-2 weeks but it might even be longer. Joshua Kelley was kind of a dud last week but he went up against a solid run defense. If Ekeler is out, Kelley should be a FLEX play

#AustinEkeler #Chargers

"Isiah Pacheco (hamstring) did not practice Wednesday"

This is something to watch this week. I usually try to avoid KC's RBs but if he is out, I prefer McKinnon, especially in a PPR league. McKinnon has outsnapped CEH in both weeks.

"Barkley expected to be 'week to week'"

I can see Barkley missing this week and being a game-time decision next week. Breida is the clear backup but obviously, he isn't a freak athlete like Barkley. Breida is a low FLEX this week if Saquon is out

#SaquonBarkley #Giants

"Kareem Hunt has signed with the Browns"

This takes a hit on Jerome Ford's value. I can see the Browns going back to having Hunt in the 3rd downs and passing plays.

#KareemHunt #Browns

[Big Brain Fantasy Football @FantasyBigBrain]

"#Browns are expected to sign Kareem Hunt"

I think this just makes sense to bring Kareem Hunt back. But prior to releasing Hunt in the offseason, they compared Ford to Hunt and went with Ford. Money probably was a little bit of a factor but they do like Ford

@logotti48 Jerome Ford reminds me of Joshua Kelley last week. RB1 is out and you would think they will go off but they are going against a really good Titans' run defense.
Bench Ford, Start White and Tutu

[Big Brain Fantasy Football @FantasyBigBrain]

@ChampionCity12 Oh okay, I would just hold tight with Ekeler and Kelley. That is a great handcuff and you should be set for the rest of the year. But I would keep entertaining the trade offers. Both of those offers you said above, I wouldn't do.

[Big Brain Fantasy Football @FantasyBigBrain]

@ChampionCity12 Yes, I think I think it is worth trading him away. You probably have to wait a week for him to put up some numbers. Or trade him to whoever has Ekeler?

"Joe Burrow (calf) won't be fully healthy for probably some time"

Burrow injured his calf in early training camp and I thought he was back to himself but I guess not. There are some talks that he may miss this week, so make sure you have a backup plan

#JoeBurrow #Bengals

[Big Brain Fantasy Football @FantasyBigBrain]

If you are in a deep league and need a RB, #KendreMiller could be a great pickup.

#Saints HC said Jamaal Williams will be out some time.

Alvin Kamara will come back Week 4 but Miller has the potential to be a great stash and see some time if Kamara misses any more time

"#Lions RB David Montgomery (quad) told reporters it would take a couple weeks to heal his injury"

Montgomery got injured at the end of the game yesterday. It may be Jahmyr Gibbs SZN with Craig Reynolds getting some snaps

#DavidMontgomery #FantasyFootball

@shadymilkman69 Hopefully, you rolled with Puka! The dude is a machine.

[Big Brain Fantasy Football @FantasyBigBrain]

"#PukaNacua (oblique) will be questionable vs. the 49ers but Sean McVay is expecting him to play"

Hearing from McVay that they are expecting him to be ready to go is great news. I expect him to play but make sure you have a backup plan with their game being at 4:05 ET

#Rams

[Big Brain Fantasy Football @FantasyBigBrain]

"Puka Nacua did not practice Thursday with an oblique injury"

Puka was a huge waiver wire pick-up this week. I don't believe this is too serious. I will update everyone on if he practices today.

#PukaNacua #Rams #FantasyFootball

[Big Brain Fantasy Football @FantasyBigBrain]

@shadymilkman69 I think Thomas looked better than a lot of people thought, including me. But I would roll with Puka
