Titans WR Julio Jones (hamstring) will miss Week 8 against the Indianapolis Colts.

Related Players: Nick Westbrook-Ikhine, Chester Rogers, Marcus Johnson

It was fun to have Julio back for one week. It will be a mixed bag of receivers behind A.J. Brown against the Colts.

There’s one player who will be added to that group of Bengal players who are stealing the show on offense and its tight end C.J. Uzomah.

The Bengals drafted Uzomah in the fifth round of the 2015 NFL Draft. Uzomah and Tyler Boyd are two of the oldest players on Cincinnati’s roster and both have now played for former head coach Marvin Lewis and current head coach Zac Taylor.

The story went on to say for those who are surprised at Uzomah’s production, his quarterback is not. When Joe Burrow was asked what’s behind his connection with Uzomah this year, he said it started in his rookie season but because of his knee injury no one saw what they could do together. The story added Burrow said Uzomah was his top target before going down with a knee injury. For fantasy going forward, Uzomah likely won't produce many lines like he did this past week against the Ravens: 3-91-1. He's averaging less than three targets a game and looks to be more TD-dependent than anything at this point.

Titans WR Julio Jones (hamstring) and RB Jeremy McNichols (ankle) are questionable for Week 7 against the Kansas City Chiefs.

Jones has already said he is playing, just with precautions. McNichols was supposed to have a role Week 6 prior to injuring his ankle pregame. Evans was designated to return two weeks ago and should have a role in the backfield if active.

Titans WR Chester Rogers (groin) will miss Week 7 against the Kansas City Chiefs.

Related Player: Nick westbrook-Ikhine

With NWI healthy Week 6, he out-snapped and out-produced Rogers. When healthy, he is a WR5 at best.

Falcons’ HC Arthur Smith announced that WR Calvin Ridley is coming back to practice this week.

Ridley took time off personal issues, he missed Week 5's game in London and the team had a bye in Week 6. Looks like Ridley is set to go for Week 7's game. It's a nice matchup against the struggling Dolphins defense.

Cowboys RB Ezekiel Elliott (knee) is questionable for Week 6 at New England. Elliott is expected to play.

This is not the first or last time Elliott will have a 'Q' tag and play. Fire him up as an RB1 against the Patriots.

Titans WR Nick Westbrook-Ikhine (hamstring) is questionable for Week 5 against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

NWI was expected to step up Week 4 with Julio Jones and A.J. Brown out. Now he is just trying to play after Week 4's letdown.

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Calvin Ridley has been ruled out for Week 5 due to a personal matter.

Ridley will not be making the trip to London and will miss Week 5's contest against the New York Jets. With number two receiver Russell Gage also expected to miss the trip, it may be the Cordarrelle Patterson show again this weekend. Olamide Zacchaeus, Tajae Sharpe, and Christian Blake are now the Falcons top three wide receivers (if you count Patterson as a running back). Expect Patterson to run more routes than usual in Week 5 and for the Falcons to increase their usage of two tight end formations.

Titans WRs Julio Jones (hamstring) and Nick Westbrook-Ikhine (hamstring) did not practice Wednesday according to Jim Wyatt of the Tennessee Titans. WR A.J. Brown (hamstring) was limited.

The receiver position for Tennessee is a mess and difficult to put much faith in until Friday's injury report.

When asked if Ben Roethlisberger is the best QB for Pittsburgh’s offense, HC Mike Tomlin responded, “Absolutely.”

Related players: Mason Rudolph, Dwayne Haskins

Roethlisberger has struggled through the first four weeks of the 2021 season, and is now dealing with hip issues. Tomlin said everything about Big Ben's struggles can be fixed except for his mobility. But for right now, there doesn't seem to be a push to move toward Rudolph or Haskins.
