Chiefs expecting Bailey to shadow Bowe

Nov 11, 2011

The Broncos have chosen to have star cornerback Champ Bailey shadow an opposing wide receiver at times when the Broncos have faced elite players such as Brandon Marshall and Calvin Johnson.

Bailey figures to spend much of Sunday following Kansas City's Dwayne Bowe, like he did when the teams played last year. In the second matchup, Bailey held Bowe without a catch and also drew an offensive pass interference penalty.

"He's a heck of a competitor, heck of a talent and has always been a pain in the butt, whether it's the receivers coach or coordinator or head coach to play offense against," Kansas City coach Todd Haley said.

"We've got a good game plan for (Bowe)," Bailey said. "We're still ironing out some things, so I guess they're going to see how we play before they make their adjustments."

Cowboys Beat: TE Jake Ferguson not expected to play Thursday

Nick Harris on X

1 hour ago

Long list here, but this is what I’ve gathered:

Guys I expect to play: Brandin Cooks, CeeDee Lamb, Tyler Smith, Cooper Rush

Guys I don’t expect to play: Jake Ferguson, Caelen Carson (possible IR), Zack Martin, Asim Richards

Gonna be close: Trevon Diggs, Eric Kendricks, Marshawn Kneeland

Related players: Luke Schoonmaker

Fantasy Impact:

Ferguson didn't practice Tuesday and remains in protocol, while Rush and Lamb both logged limited sessions. Cooks was also limited. Harris expects Rush, Lamb and Cooks to all play on Thanksgiving against the Giants. If Ferguson is out, Schoonmaker makes for a nice option as a replacement TE in fantasy lineups.

A high-ranking league official told me they have the impression QB Daniel Jones has zeroed on a "leading" choice. While another high-ranking league source told me their understanding is Jones "is telling teams tomorrow."

Fantasy Impact:

Jones seems headed for a backup job and the Ravens, Vikings and Bucs seem like teams that could be in the market. There is a report that says Jones has eliminated the Raiders from contention. As the report said, a decision could come Wednesday from Jones.

Saints say WR Chris Olave (concussion) in a good place

Darren Rizzi said that Chris Olave is in a good place.

Fantasy Impact:

The post went on to say Olave was at the Saints practice on Tuesday and that Olave has seen several specialists and has another appointment coming up soon. On IR, the earliest Olave could be back is Week 15, but there seems to be a ways to go before we get to that point. Other reports say Olave may not return this season.
