Free agent WR J'Mon Moore worked out for the Seahawks.

Advice: We haven't heard much about the 2018 fourth-rounder since he was waived by the Packers in August. A big play/deep threat specialist, Moore would certainly fit into the Seahawks' offense, but he showed shockingly little during his 1.5 years in Green Bay. Rotoworld.com Yesterday, 2:57 pm

Broncos WR Tim Patrick (broken hand, injured reserve) is expected to be activated following the team's Week 10 bye.

Advice: Sidelined since Week 1, Patrick will miss his required eighth game in Week 9. The Broncos suddenly have a big need at receiver after trading Emmanuel Sanders. 25-year-old Patrick flashed a bit down the stretch last season. It's not entirely outside the realm of possibility he will have WR5 re-draft value following his return. He's not worth stashing, of course. Rotoworld.com Yesterday, 2:01 pm

Cardinals signed RB Alfred Morris.

Advice: We learned the hard way that David Johnson's injury issues were more serious than the Cardinals were letting on, while reserve D.J. Foster is also banged up. Morris spent training camp with the Cowboys but couldn't crack the squad. He worked out for the Cardinals in September. Morris' signing could be as much about Foster as Johnson, but it is obviously a worrying sign for Johnson's Week 8 availability vs. the Saints. Rotoworld.com Yesterday, 1:36 pm

Lions placed RB Kerryon Johnson on injured reserve with a knee injury.

Advice: Johnson is undergoing surgery Tuesday, but coach Matt Patricia is optimistic he can return later this season. "I feel really bad for Kerryon that he's in this situation," Patricia said. "But very optimistic going forward." That's all good and well, but Johnson's fantasy season is functionally over. The earliest he could return is Week 16 against the Broncos. Sixth-round rookie Ty Johnson will move forward as the Lions' early-down back with J.D. McKissic changing the pace. McKissic already had a role even before Johnson's injury. With Tra Carson the only alternative on the 53-man roster, the Lions could be looking at promoting Paul Perkins from the practice squad or adding a veteran free agent. Johnson has now dealt with knee issues each of his first two years in the league. Limiting his workload will be a bigger theme for the Lions in 2020. Rotoworld.com Yesterday, 1:07 pm

49ers acquired WR Emmanuel Sanders from the Broncos in exchange for third- and fourth-round draft picks.

Advice: The Broncos are also sending a fifth-round pick the 49ers' way. Truly receiver desperate, the 49ers haven't been able to settle on a receiver rotation all season. Although it's a role 32-year-old Sanders is probably miscast for at this point in his career, they now have their No. 1. Still providing WR3 relevance in Denver despite Joe Flacco's unsurprising awfulness, Sanders will have a chance to push for WR2 value in San Francisco, though the 49ers' offense will remain run heavy to the extreme. 2019 is the final year of Sanders' contract. Rotoworld.com Yesterday, 11:52 am

Chiefs released WR De'Anthony Thomas.

Advice: The team elevated QB Kyle Shurmur in a corresponding move. Thomas totaled a single catch since rejoining the Chiefs in August, playing a majority of his reps on special teams. Kansas City also released DT Terrell McClain. Rotoworld.com Yesterday, 9:39 am

Steelers coach Mike Tomlin said Jaylen Samuels (knee) is back practicing "partially."

Advice: It's only been two weeks since Samuels was initially diagnosed with a 4-6 week timetable following a knee scope, which is great news for his availability in the near future. Fourth-round RB Benny Snell has since worked as Conner's backup, most recently handling 17 carries for 75 yards and one score once Conner left Week 6 with a knee injury. Whomever wins the backup role with all three healthy has an obvious path to opportunity given the fact Conner's now dealt with two week-long injuries in only six games played. Rotoworld.com Yesterday, 9:12 am

ESPN's Josina Anderson reports Adrian Peterson (ankle) has a grade 1 high-ankle sprain and grade 2 low-ankle sprain.

Advice: Even so, Peterson claimed to be "good" for Thursday Night Football against his former Vikings squad. Washington's backfield remains in complete disarray during this short turnaround as Derrius Guice (knee) isn't eligible to return from the team's PUP list until after their Week 10 bye (assuming he's activated two weeks ahead of time) and Chris Thompson is currently battling turf toe. At this rate, Wendell Smallwood would make for a desperation RB4/FLEX as the only available option aside from Peterson if the veteran's limited. Rotoworld.com Yesterday, 7:53 am

Patriots acquired WR Mohamed Sanu from the Falcons in exchange for a 2020 second-round pick.

Advice: New England reportedly offered a second-round pick for Sanu before the draft and the Falcons turned them down. Now 1-6 and projected to be $8.7 million over the 2020 salary cap, Atlanta had no choice but to begin shedding weight. Sanu's departure is the first domino to fall and clears around $3.7 million from Atlanta's books this year (and $10.2 million in all). The versatile slot wideout is expected to be active against Cleveland in Week 8 but likely won't be fully integrated into New England's offense until their Week 10 bye. Expect more roster news to follow as this acquisition puts the Patriots $1.2 million over the cap this season. Russell Gage will take over for Sanu in Atlanta moving forward, while either Phillip Dorsett or Josh Gordon (pending the severity of his ankle injury) are now on the outside looking in with the Patriots. Rotoworld.com Yesterday, 5:39 am

ESPN's Adam Schefter reports Kerryon Johnson (knee) is considered week to week and is expected to miss "some time."

Advice: We still have very little clarity on what's going on with Johnson, but it sounds like he's going to miss at least Week 8 at the minimum against the Giants. Ty Johnson is expected to slide into Kerryon's role on early downs, making him arguably the top waiver add of the week, while J.D. McKissic remains the Lions' pass-down back. Rotoworld.com Monday, 4:28 pm

Adrian Peterson (ankle) was listed as a DNP for Monday's practice.

Advice: The Redskins didn't actually practice Monday, but are required to submit an estimated injury report. Peterson reportedly had an MRI done Monday on his ankle and is awaiting the results. He's racked up 20-plus carries in back-to-back weeks as the focal point of the new-look Redskins offense that has scored 17 points in eight quarters under interim head coach Bill Callahan. Peterson holds some RB3 value based on volume alone, but is in about the worst spot imaginable this week at less than 100 percent against the Vikings' fearsome front seven. Rotoworld.com Monday, 2:00 pm

NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reports Adam Thielen (hamstring) is targeting a Week 9 return.

Advice: Thielen is reportedly aiming to return in Week 9 against the Chiefs. Ian Rapoport has also reported that it's unlikely the Vikings' stud WR suits up for the team's Thursday night matchup against the Redskins. Olabisi Johnson will start in Thielen's place if he's ultimately sidelined. Johnson caught 4-of-8 targets for 40 yards and a touchdown against the Lions. He's in play as a solid streaming option, although it'd be far from shocking if the Vikings run the ball as much as possible as 16-point home favorites. Rotoworld.com Monday, 11:44 am

According to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, it's "hard to imagine" Adam Thielen (hamstring) playing against the Redskins in Week 8.

Advice: Thielen's hamstring injury doesn't appear to be a major setback, though he won't have much time to recover with Minnesota back to work Thursday night against the Redskins. The short turnaround obviously works against Thielen and the Vikings probably won't need him playing at home against a lesser opponent. Perhaps Thielen will receive good news from Monday's MRI but Rapoport still believes there's a "real possibility" he sits this one out. If he does, it would be his first career absence. Rotoworld.com Monday, 6:57 am

Mohamed Sanu caught a three-yard pass in the Falcons' Week 7 loss to the Rams.

Advice: Sanu's second quarter reception was his lone target on an afternoon where the Falcons' offense bottomed out. That included a fourth quarter Matt Ryan injury. Ryan (ankle) looks doubtful for Week 8 against the Seahawks before the Falcons go on bye. With no Ryan, Sanu would be off the WR4 map. Rotoworld.com Sunday, 3:42 pm

Adrian Peterson had 20 carries for 81 yards in Week 7 against the 49ers.

Advice: The Redskins remained run-heavy under Bill Callahan, but they had just one red-zone trip and failed to score any points. Peterson got off to a great start with seven straight carries to open the game but faded in the second half with the Redskins playing from behind. He had costly fumble with the Redskins driving late in the third quarter. Peterson has been the focal point of the Redskins' post-Jay Gruden offense. He'll be an RB2 for Thursday night's game with the Vikings. Rotoworld.com Sunday, 12:59 pm

Adam Thielen hauled in one of his two targets for a 25-yard touchdown before exiting in the first half of Week 7 against the Lions.

Advice: Thielen's hamstring was injured on a diving 25-yard touchdown catch that saw Kirk Cousins nail the 29-year-old behind two defenders on a beautiful bootleg play-action toss from outside the pocket. It's unfortunate as Thielen (along with teammate Stefon Diggs) had both hit their strides from Cousins of late, seeing the former spike four touchdowns in Minnesota's past three games. Time will tell on the extent of Thielen's injury since he was in noticeable pain and agitated on the sideline. He was replaced by rookie Olabisi Johnson. Rotoworld.com Sunday, 12:07 pm

Adam Thielen (hamstring) is questionable to return for Week 7 against the Lions.

Advice: Thielen's hamstring was injured on a diving 25-yard touchdown catch that saw Kirk Cousins boot outside on a play-action fake and hit the 29-year-old on a post-crossing route. Assuming his day is done, Thielen finishes Week 7 with 1/25/1 on two targets. He was replaced by rookie Olabisi Johnson. Rotoworld.com Sunday, 10:40 am

Chris Thompson (toe) is out for Week 7 against the 49ers.

Advice: This means the Redskins will be using Adrian Peterson, Wendell Smallwood, and unproven backs like Craig Reynolds this week against one of the best defenses in football. Consider Thompson week to week with his turf toe injury. Thompson is leaving 4.5 receptions per game on the table for other Redskins pass-catchers. Rotoworld.com Friday, 11:54 am

Emmanuel Sanders caught 5-of-6 targets for 60 yards in the Broncos' Week 7 loss to the Chiefs.

Advice: Sanders was lucky to escape with the yardage he did, as Joe Flacco was so bad even FOX analyst Troy Aikman was calling for his benching. Speaking after the game, Sanders was asked what went wrong. "You know the answer," Sanders said. "You watched the same game." If you watched the game, you saw a completely immobile Flacco getting devoured by the Chiefs' previously stagnant pass rush. With 10 days between now and the Broncos' Week 8 trip to Indianapolis, it's possible contract-year Sanders has played his final game in Denver. The trade deadline is in 12 days. Rotoworld.com Thursday, 8:50 pm

Adrian Peterson (quad) returned to a full practice on Thursday.

Advice: Peterson sat out Wednesday's session, but it was just a maintenance day for the veteran coming off his 25-touch Week 6. The former MVP will be back in the saddle Sunday against San Francisco. The Niners present a much tougher matchup than the one he faced a week ago in Miami. Rotoworld.com Thursday, 1:18 pm

Sterling Shepard (concussion) remained limited at Thursday's practice.

Advice: Shepard's Week 7 status is still uncertain, but there is now a real chance he suits up against the Cardinals. We should know his availability by Friday afternoon. Shepard would immediately slide back in as a low-end WR2 in a gorgeous matchup. Golden Tate would be a low-ceiling WR3 were Shepard to return. Rotoworld.com Thursday, 10:21 am

Chris Thompson (toe) was absent from Redskins practice Wednesday.

Advice: As was Adrian Peterson (quad), though Peterson's absence appeared to be more of a rest day. Thompson's status is very much in doubt for Sunday's daunting date with the 49ers. Wendell Smallwood is the next man up at the change-of-pace/pass-catching position in the Redskins' backfield. Rotoworld.com Wednesday, 2:09 pm

Sterling Shepard (concussion) was limited in Wednesday's practice.

Advice: He remains in the league's protocol. It would be wise for Shepard to sit this one out after suffering two concussions in the season's first five weeks. The Giants should be treating him carefully. If/when Shepard sits, Golden Tate and Darius Slayton should soak up the bulk of the receiver work, though Slayton will likely have to deal with Patrick Peterson's coverage outside. Rotoworld.com Wednesday, 9:55 am

Chris Thompson has been diagnosed with turf toe.

Advice: Per NFL.com's Ian Rapoport, Thompson's case is "mild," but that his Week 7 availability is in "some doubt." We would say it's in major doubt. Davante Adams had 10 days to get ready for the Packers' Week 5 game against the Cowboys and still couldn't get cleared. He remained sidelined eight days later for Week 6. The Redskins' first practice report will come Wednesday. Rotoworld.com Tuesday, 1:00 pm

Kerryon Johnson rushed 13 times for 34 yards and one touchdown in the Lions' Week 6 loss to the Packers, adding two catches for 27 yards on four targets.

Advice: Johnson wasn't nearly as involved as he was in Detroit's previous game against the Chiefs when he logged 28 touches as a true workhorse. J.D. McKissic sprinkled in for five touches in this one, but Johnson was able to score from one yard out in the first quarter for the Lions' lone touchdown. Detroit settled for too many field goals. Johnson will be a middling RB2 in a tough Week 7 date with the Vikings on a short week. Rotoworld.com Monday, 9:00 pm

Patriots signed TE Ben Watson.

Advice: Watson's an upgrade in the passing game over in-line blockers Matt LaCosse and Ryan Izzo even at the ripe age of 38. The Patriots previously released Watson only seven days ago, but backup FB Jakob Johnson's trip to injured reserve vacated a spot for the vet to re-sign with the team. He made two catches on three targets this preseason. Rotoworld.com Monday, 9:56 am

NFL Network's James Palmer reports Emmanuel Sanders (knee) isn't dealing with a serious injury.

Advice: Specifically, Palmer stated Sanders' injury, "Doesn’t appear to be at all serious. Not much concern right now even with a short week." Ian Rapoport also stated that his understanding is that there is optimism that Sanders will suit up Thursday night against the Chiefs. At the very least, it appears Sanders has avoided a serious injury and has a real shot to suit up in Week 7 despite the quick turnaround. Rotoworld.com Oct 13, 5:57 pm

Emmanuel Sanders left Sunday's Week 6 game against the Titans with a knee injury and will not return.

Advice: Sanders was slowed by a knee injury in practice this week and must have aggravated it during the first half. He'll finish the afternoon with just one catch for no yards on three targets. Without him, Denver will rely on Courtland Sutton, DaeSean Hamilton and tight end Noah Fant to lead the team's pass-catching corps in the second half. Rotoworld.com Oct 13, 3:10 pm

Chris Thompson left Week 6 against the Dolphins with a foot injury.

Advice: Thompson went down late in the second half. His return is questionable but he's likely done for the game. Rotoworld.com Oct 13, 12:39 pm
