Khalil Herbert will make his Bengals debut on Thursday night against the Ravens, league sources confirmed.

How big of a role could Herbert play? He'll be a compliment to Chase Brown on offense. He could see a few carries and also has experience as a kick returner. Look for him to have a role on special teams too.

So it sounds like Herbert will work in as a short-yardage back, leaving a majority of the workload to Brown in Game 1. Herbert doesn't need to be started in Week 10 but odds are good that he'll be in fantasy consideration moving forward. Brown should be locked into lineups in this divisional rivalry.

As Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence (left shoulder) continues to get treatment and weigh options for the future, sources say he’s considered unlikely to play Sunday vs the Vikings.

Lawrence was limited in practice yesterday & coach Doug Pederson was noncommittal about his status.

We're now at the point of possibly fading all fantasy pieces from the Jaguars, who were already one of the lowest-projected teams of the week. Brian Thomas Jr. and Evan Engram are really the only two options here, and their ceilings have been drastically lowered.

Sources: The #Panthers have locked in one of their young stars, agreeing to terms with RB Chuba Hubbard on 4-year, $33.2M contract extension.

He gets a max value of $37.2M with $15M in new fully guaranteed money.

The Panthers have decided to ship off Diontae Johnson and sophomore Jonathan Mingo, but their running back room is now set for the near future. It's an interesting decision, and may mean that Brooks coming in and taking over a full snap share is even less likely than it had been trending. Brooks feels unlikely to contribute in a meaningful way to 2024 fantasy rosters.

49ers RB Christian McCaffrey was limited in practice today, but HC Kyle Shanahan said he has had “no pain”, an encouraging sign for his availability Sunday.

If the 49ers had a commanding lead in the NFC West, there's a pretty good chance they would be more willing to ease CMC back into the gameplan, but at 4-4, they are not really in a position to mess around here. If McCaffrey is good to go, we should consider him an RB1 in Week 10.

Ravens ruled out TE Isaiah Likely for Thursday night’s game vs. the Bengals and list RB Keaton Mitchell as questionable.

Lamar Jackson is off the injury report and expected to start.

Related Players: Mark Andrews

Andrews has (re)solidified himself as the TE1 on the team, though he's still not quite as consistent as we would have liked after taking him as a top-3 option. He should be considered a low-end TE1 for TNF.

Bengals are listing WR Tee Higgins as doubtful for Thursday night’s game against the Ravens.

Related Players: Ja'Marr Chase, Andrei Iosivas, Mike Gesicki

The biggest storyline from this continued time off has been Gesicki, who is a fantastic TE streamer once again in Week 10, should Higgins end up missing.

Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence will be limited in practice today due to what Doug Pederson is calling an upper body injury. Pederson said it’s too early to say if Lawrence will play Sunday.

The Jaguars are beat up all over the field in what has quickly circled into a lost season. Brian Thomas Jr. can still be in lineup consideration, but outside of him and TE Evan Engram, this is a situation to avoid.

Sean McDermott said that WR Keon Coleman won't practice on Wednesday and that it could be "more than just this week," but that they are still evaluating. He is not ruled out for this week's game vs. the Colts.

Related Players: Amari Cooper, Khalil Shakir, Mack Hollins, Dalton Kincaid

It seems as though Cooper is still dealing with an issue as well, so the Bills might be right be to having an extremely thin WR room once again for Week 10. Consider Shakir a high-floor WR2 if either or both of his teammates miss.

Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins (quad) still isn’t practicing, putting his availability for Thursday Night Football in doubt.

Related players: Ja'Marr Chase, Andrei Iosivas, Jermaine Burton, Trenton Irwin, Mike Gesicki

Higgins missed practice all of last week and did not play in Sunday’s win over the Raiders, the story pointed out. With Higgins out and Burton also out last week, Chase, Iosivas and Irwin were the top WRs, but Gesicki had a big game from the TE position and could be a top target again. The Bengals play on Thursday night at the Ravens.

Lamar Jackson will be playing Thursday night, Ravens coach John Harbaugh said.

The post said Harbaugh declined to say why Jackson didn't practice Tuesday. Regardless, Jackson is good to go for Thursday night football, which is a home game against the Bengals.
