New York Daily News: Eli Manning's contract is due to expire after next season,
and sometime in the next year - probably the next few months - the Giants will
take the first steps toward making him the next member of the $100 million QB
club. Manning might even end up being the highest-paid member, as several NFL
sources said his next deal could be worth a league-high $15 million per season.
That would be an average of $1 million more than his brother Peyton is making on
the 7-year, $98 million deal he signed with the Colts in 2004. Based on
interviews with several agents and personnel people, Eli Manning appears to be
in line for a7- or 8-year contract worth $110 million-$120 million with $40
million in guarantees. That would make the 28-year-old the eighth quarterback
to top the $100 million barrier, and would put him near the top with Philly's
Donovan Mcnabb (12 years, $115million), Cincinnati's Carson Palmer (9 years,
$118.75 million), and former Atlanta QB Michael Vick (10 years, $130 million).
"We know," said one team source. "But that's money we're going to be happy to
pay."

Seahawks RB Kenneth Walker listed as DNP; RB Zach Carbonnet full

Seahawks listed RB Kenneth Walker III as a Did Not Practice today while RB Zach Charbonnet was upgraded to full practice ahead of Thursday night’s game at Chicago.

Fantasy Impact:

Walker is dealing with an ankle injury and as we get closer to Thursday his status really seems to be in doubt. Charbonnet would be the team's lead back and looks to be good to go despite dealing with an elbow injury. He'd once again be a great option if Walker is unable to go.

Charger RBs Gus Edwards, J.K. Dobbins listed as limited

Gus Edwards is listed as a limited participant due to an ankle injury. Edwards ran 14 times for 68 yards and two touchdowns in last Sunday’s win over the Broncos.

J.K. Dobbins (knee) was also limited in his first appearance on the injury report since being designated for return from injured reserve.

Fantasy Impact:

The story said if Dobbins is going to play against the Patriots, the Chargers will have to activate him by Friday. It could be a tricky situation depending on each back's status. Owners will want to pay close attention to this situation leading up to game time.

Bengals QB Joe Burrow, WR Tee Higgins listed as limited

Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow told reporters on Tuesday that he feels like he’s totally past his right wrist injury, but it still landed him on the team’s injury report.

Burrow was listed as limited due to the wrist and his knee

Wide receiver Tee Higgins (ankle, knee) was listed as limited as well,

Fantasy Impact:

The story said Burrow's injury shouldn’t create much cause for concern about his availability against the Broncos on Saturday since he was listed as limited all of last week before playing without issue in the team’s win over the Browns. Burrow added there are still things he does to help with it but he's pretty much past it. The story added Higgins also played without incident last Sunday after being on the report all week.
