Team news: Minnesota Vikings | Page 18

Rams waived RB Darrell Henderson.

Related players: Cam Akers, Kyren Williams, Ronnie Rivers

On one hand this is a bit of a surprise, while on the other hand the Rams season has been a hot mess. It looks like Akers slides back in as the team's RB1 while Williams should be the change of pace and passing down back. Henderson is 25 and should land with another team as an early-down option.

Vikings star WR Justin Jefferson, who’s been listed as limited this week with a toe injury, is in good spirits and moving well during the portion of practice open to reporters.

OLB Za’Darius Smith (knee), LT Christian Darrisaw (concussion) are also here. No DT Dalvin Tomlinson (calf).

Good news for Jefferson, who is putting together a monster of a season. Looks like full-speed ahead for Week 11, where he is ranked as 4for4's WR2.

Vikings WR Justin Jefferson was limited in practice today due to a toe injury.

It's worth nothing just because it's Jefferson. Hopefully this was just a case of giving him a light day after a busy Week 10 against the Bills, but definitely keep an eye on his practice status over the next two days.

P.J. Walker has a high ankle sprain. So Baker Mayfield will start at QB this week, Sam Darnold will be the backup.

The carousel of below-replacement-level quarterbacks continues in Carolina, as Mayfield will once again try his hand at helping make a cohesive offense. Any Panthers QB should be far off of your fantasy radar.

Good news for Jones, who left Week 9 with an ankle injury. He should be comfortably plugged into fantasy lineups, despite a tough matchup against the Cowboys.

Kyren Williams is on the verge of returning to the Rams’ backfield on Sundays. Sean McVay told reporters Wednesday that he believes Williams could be active against the Cardinals this weekend, which would be his first game since injuring his ankle in Week 1.

“I think there’s a good chance he’ll be up this week,” McVay said.

It's looking like a crowded backfield for the Rams. It's possible the team eases Williams back into action, but if he's still on your wire it's worth adding an RB with some upside and taking a wait-and-see approach. As the story said, the Rams traded up to select Williams in the fifth round of the draft this year. He missed most of the summer with a broken foot before injuring his ankle in the season opener against the Bills.

Jones is looking like he'll have a good shot to play after not being able to finish the game in Week 9.

ESPN's Adam Schefter reported that tests came back negative on RB Aaron Jones' injured ankle.

As the story went on to say, things are looking up for Jones, but his practice status this week will determine whether he plays against the Cowboys on Sunday. Dillon would assume the lead role if Jones can't play. Hill would possibly jump into a more significant role with Jones out. He's fresh off the IR and had one carry last week.

Tests on Packers’ RB Aaron Jones’ ankle today came back negative and, “(Jones) should be able to play this week.”

Jones played deep into the second half of Sunday's game before suffering his ankle injury, with A.J. Dillon carrying almost the whole role after he went down, including three carries and two targets over the game's final two drives. If Jones is limited in any way against the Cowboys next week, we can expect an uptick in usage for Dillon.

Sam Darnold returned to Panthers practice back on October 19th and has now been cleared for in-game action.

With safety valve Christian McCaffrey now out in San Francisco, the Carolina offense is a poor site to behold. The quarterback roulette will spin again and likely land on Darnold, but he offers no fantasy upside on typical redraft leagues.
