Chris Thompson (toe) was listed as a DNP in Monday's practice.

Advice: The Redskins didn't actually practice Monday, but are required to submit an estimated injury report. Thompson is dealing with turf toe. It'd be surprising if he suits up Thursday night against the Vikings. Wendell Smallwood posted 5-23-0 rushing and 1-18-0 receiving lines in Week 7 with Thompson sidelined. Neither backup RB is a realistic fantasy option in this impossible road spot as long as Adrian Peterson (ankle) continues to command 20-plus touches a game. Rotoworld.com 12 minutes ago

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.

Adam Thielen (hamstring) was listed as a DNP for Monday's practice.

Advice: The Vikings didn't actually practice Monday, but are required to submit an estimated injury report. Thielen is reportedly aiming to return in Week 9 against the Chiefs. The Vikings will roll with Stefon Diggs and Olabisi Johnson in 2-WR sets during his absence. It wouldn't be surprising to see athletically-gifted rookie TE Irv Smith get more reps as a true pass catcher as well. Still, there's a low target floor for everyone involved in the Vikings' run-first offense in this blowout spot. Rotoworld.com 45 minutes ago

Coach Kliff Kingsbury said David Johnson (back) didn't feel right after a couple plays on Sunday.

Advice: Kingsbury added that Johnson is a "warrior," but he turned the offense over to Chase Edmonds after the Cardinals' starting RB didn't feel right after a couple plays. Johnson was only active for emergency purposes during the Cardinals' Week 7 victory over the Giants, infuriating fantasy owners all around the globe. For what it's worth (likely not much), Kingsbury did note that he appreciates the passion of fantasy players. It'll be tough to project anything resembling a three-down workload for Johnson in this week's matchup against the Saints. Rotoworld.com Today, 12:56 pm

Coach Dan Quinn wouldn't rule out Matt Ryan (ankle) for the Falcons' Week 8 matchup against the Seahawks.

Advice: Quinn confirmed a report that Ryan is dealing with a sprained right ankle and noted the Falcons QB is already running in the pool as part of his rehab. The Falcons head coach also stated, "Hopefully it's not a long-term thing and more a shorter-term thing." Ryan won't practice Wednesday, but his participation throughout the rest of the week should tell us a lot. He's shaping up as a true game-time decision ahead of Sunday. 38-year-old Matt Schaub would get the start if Ryan is ultimately sidelined. Rotoworld.com Today, 12:36 pm

Panthers coach Ron Rivera said Kyle Allen will start in Week 8 against the 49ers.

Advice: Cam Newton (foot) will "be with the trainers" and continue to rehab throughout the week. Rivera added that Cam "may or may not" return to practice this week, too. Allen's undefeated streak over Carolina's last four games has certainly made the decision to keep Newton sidelined easier as the former's kept his head above water with 901 yards, seven touchdowns and a 65.5 percent completion rate against the Cardinals, Texans, Jags and Bucs since Week 3. Undoubtedly set to face his toughest test to date in San Francisco's nightmarish pass rush, any stumbles on Sunday could result in Newton returning to practice sooner than expected. It would certainly help to have both Trai Turner (ankle) and Greg Little (concussion) back for Week 8. Rotoworld.com Today, 11:09 am

Seahawks coach Pete Carroll said Rashaad Penny's usage against the Ravens in Week 7 "just worked out that way."

Advice: Penny practiced in full throughout the week and finished with two snaps to C.J. Prosise's six. Even so, Carroll didn't blame the second-year runner's two-snap usage on post-hamstring cautiousness, stating they already "had some plays" for Prosise game-planned. Penny's been an afterthought on 19.6 percent of Seattle's offensive snaps this season despite coming off the board No. 27 overall in '18. It would not be shocking to see him shopped (for less return) before next week's trade deadline. Rotoworld.com Today, 10:30 am

Browns coach Freddie Kitchens said Baker Mayfield (hip) is "good to go" after resting over the bye week.

Advice: "I thought he looked good today," Kitchens added. Mayfield returned to practice following the team's bye week and should be fully cleared for Sunday. Unfortunately, that's when the Browns are slated to face the Patriots. He'll be a middling QB2 even at full strength in that one. Rotoworld.com Today, 10:15 am

Giants coach Pat Shurmur said the team has no plans to bench Daniel Jones despite his recent struggles.

Advice: Danny Dimes has regressed since his epic debut against the Bucs in Week 3, leading some to wonder if the team would consider turning back to declining vet Eli Manning, though Shurmur doesn't think that would be the right move. "I think Daniel is going to learn from everything that is going on," said Shurmur, acknowledging Jones' poor play during the Giants' three-game losing skid. Pulling the rug out from underneath Jones would be a mistake, potentially damaging the rookie's confidence. It would also be a downgrade for the entire offense as the immobile Manning looked completely spent prior to getting benched. Rotoworld.com Today, 9:56 am

Free agent RB Spencer Ware will work out for the Cardinals.

Advice: He'll be joined by former Dolphins and Eagles bruiser Jay Ajayi. The Cardinals are in search of backfield depth with David Johnson (ankle) and D.J. Foster (hamstring) both hobbled. Ware has been a free agent since the Colts released him from injured reserve last month. Rotoworld.com Today, 8:46 am
