Player Updates Overview

NFL.com's James Palmer reports there is "optimism" Emmanuel Sanders (knee) is active for Thursday's game against the Chiefs.

Advice: Sanders practiced again on Tuesday, an excellent sign he will be ready to go on the short week. Joe Flacco has been having trouble making multiple fantasy receivers relevant any given week — and it's usually been Courtland Sutton — but there should be room for the two of Sutton and Sanders against the Chiefs' shaky defense. The game's over/under is near 50. Rotoworld.com Today, 10:46 am

Josh Gordon (knee) was sidelined for Tuesday's practice.

Advice: Meanwhile both N'Keal Harry (ankle) and Phillip Dorsett (hamstring) returned. We'll see how this situation shakes out since the Patriots have an extra 24 hours to get healthy before suiting up Monday night, but early indications suggest Julian Edelman, Jakobi Meyers and Dorsett start in New England's three-wide sets. Meyers makes for a great waivers stash as a pivot for Gordon at kick-off. Rotoworld.com Today, 9:17 am

Browns coach Freddie Kitchens said WR Rashard Higgins isn't in his doghouse.

Advice: "Last week was [Higgins’] first week truly back, and I thought Antonio [Callaway] had a good week of practice," Kitchens said. "Higg should have played some in the game yesterday, but the situation didn’t arise where he was in the game." Callaway's merely totaled 2/22 and was responsible for one of Baker Mayfield's interceptions since returning from suspension. Still, the second-year wideout played 47-of-69 (68%) offensive snaps against the Seahawks while Higgins stayed glued to the sideline. The more Callaway struggles, the closer Higgins gets to returning to his preseason role as the team's starter in three-wide sets. Rotoworld.com Today, 7:38 am
